SHOCK TO Till.: K ALSO MINI". RS.
Mr. McKinley's War Department
kalsominers hud an unpleasant surprise
at Detroit Thursday. Rev. Helen Stu?
art Richards, of Boston, was pit.I on
tin- stand ami testified as I'm .\ s
In tile Second Division i Third
Corps) Hospital, there was general
dirt and disorder, a ladt ..f disin?
fectants and horrible stench. Pa?
tients wer.- frequently filthy, and
they were y.-ry infreqttenilj bath?
ed. Some with high fevers were
never bathed, not having even their
necks and arms sponged.
I found patients with their eyes,
nostrils ami mouths full of horrible
Hies. Mosquito netting was there,
but it was not always in use. There
wa?s utter neglect to put the mos?
quito netting down where it would
relieve the men. My opinion is that
the nurses were incompetent. Out
that is not strange, perhaps, in view
of the fact that they were taken
from the ranks.
It should be remembered that this
disgusting recital is in reference to the
conditions existing at Chickninatign,
which eminently experienced and ca?
pable men, drawing salaries as colo?
nels. Majors and Generals, and who
were clothed with responsibility and
power that would have made it possi?
ble for them to have obviated this
shameful story of suffering and neglect,
have declared to be a model camp.
It is by no means surprising that
there was sickness and death among
the volunteers. If the comfort and
cleanliness of the fever patients was
not looked after, it is quite apparent
that no effort was made to look after
the comfort and cleanliness of the pout
devils who were impervious to the rav?
ages of dirt and disease.
In discussing the necessity for depriv?
ing the residents of Thirty-fourth
street of sewerage privileges for which
they have paid in hard cash, we feat
that Mr. Alexander Potter overlooked
the fact that the Old Dominion Band
Company's sewer on that Ihoroughfart
was wantonly destroyed at hast a
month before the contractors were
ready to begin the work of laying the
new pipes there. Is his statement In
reference to this matter, another illus?
tration of the fact thai 'necessity is
the mother of invention?"
It is announced thai Commander
Harris, of the ill-fated cruiser Infanta
Maria Teresa, may be court-martialed
for abandoning the ship. Of course, a
board of inquiry should make a rigid
investigation into the tnatlei to decide
where the rsponsibllity feu the loss of
the vessel should rest, but this talk of
court-martialing an officei who evi?
dently did everything in his power to
bring the Spanish cruiser home, will
grate rather harshly upon the sensibil?
ities of fair-play loving Americans. It
was unfortunate thai the Teresa should
run into a hurricane, but it was one
of those chances against whii h fore?
sight could not take precautions.
Lord Salisbury's remarks in reference
to America have created a mild sensa?
tion in Europe. Diplomat that be is,
