Times Been Amply Supplied With

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Oen. Boynton
concluded his testimony before the war
commission today. In repiy to charges
formulated by Surgeon Mik> B. Ward, of
Kansas City, that Camp Thomas was With
out drainage, that the water was unfit to
drink, that there was no proper food and
that all of the 4i.0u0 men iu the camp wt-re
suffering from intestinal diseases, Gen.
Boynton said:
"Of course, in so larse a camp, some
painful things must necessarily happen.
For instance, when measies broke out the
hospital was quite crowded. But to say
that there was any purposely inflicted
neglect is utterly false."
These complaints led tJen. Boynton to
enter upon a genera! statement in regard
to the condition of the camp, an<l to give
hu opinion as to the obtuse of it. He at
tributed the prevalence of disease to the
kitchen and hospital sinks. They had, he
Baid, in the latter part of the camp's his
tory been ieft uncovered by earth, con
trary to directions by the surgeon general,
and this fact more than ail others, he cun
■idered responsible for the spread of tiie
disease. This failure to carry out sani
tary orders, he thought, was due to the
negligence of the subordinate officers, the
brigade and regimental commanders.
The frouble only began after Gen.
Brooke was ordered to Washington. Prior
to that time Gen. Brooke required daily re
ports from the regimental officers and
prompt attention to any neglect of sani
tary precautions. This system and the
care which accompanied it had had the
effect of keeping the camp in good condi
tion. When Gen. Brooke !t ft for Wash
ington the camp was necessarily in charge
of the subordinate officers. When Gen.
Brooke returned his time was devoted al
most entirely to preparation for the Porto
Uican campa:gn, so that he could not give
so much heed to sanitary regulations as
he had previously done.
Gen. Boynton elaborated upon the strict
discipline maintained by Gen. Brooke in
police and sanitary matters, but said there
was a suspension of this care after the
Porto Riran campaign was decided upon.
After Gen. Brooke left there was a mate
rial increase of disease, and at one time
almost a panic.
Sink* Left tnrovered.
JReturning to the conditions subsequent
to the di'.c when Gen. I? rook e was order
ed to Washingt >n. Gen. Boynton. «aid the
exposed condition of the sinks had en
couraged the presence of a multitude of
rtiea which bred disease by carrying germs
from the sinks to the tents.
"They were." said the general, "as thi k
Throughout the park as they ever could
have been in Egypt, and they w.-nt b.i k
ar,d forth from the sinks to the mess ta
llies of the men and officers with the great
est :mpunity, covering: everything in sight."
«». r.. llcynton was qutstioned at some
length as to where the responsibility f.-.r
th.s condition of attalrs lay, and he said
that it lay with the brig J. and regimental
commands rs.
"I am satisfied." ho said, "'that the med

Special Correspondence
IIILO. H. 1.. Sept. Seattle hits made
proffera of trade relations with ths Ha
waiian islands, ajwl ;t :» very evident that
but one of tiie twv> ports <*n the lslanla
Hilo, .a willing to do buasneeo with Pugot
Sou ink Honolulu and San Franesaco la
tereats are so closely allied that it is go
ing to take unusual effort to divert the
trade which, has been so ilrmly established
between those two cities. Such conditions
do not exist at 11110, and lui progressive
residents offer on their part. Aloha. good
will and a trade, both export and import,
to the sister cities of th« Northwest. They
realise that Honolulu has for years been do*
in*: everything possible to misrepresent
Hilo and and its resources, while in reality
the Island upon which the latter place 1»
located Is more productive than any in ths
group.
With the advent of the new steamship
line the bananc. industry has been given a
fresh impetus and It It more that likely
that within the next month acres of
heretofore Idle land will be planted in ba
nanas and pineapple®. The augur cargoes
go to tho coast by sail and wIQ coretlnue
to do BO until the present contracts Aipirc,
so that the promoters of the new line oan
hardly expect much in the way of return
freight from 11.10 during the tirst few
months of tho venture.

consume the product, not all, of course,
but a share. Our merchants here can have
on sale the finest apples that grow and

anyone who enjoys something deticlously
tooth.-«ome. Hilo has never had such an
opportunity, not even in tiie trial days of
the San Plego-HHo line, for California
product* nothing to equal the product*
of Washington."
J. W, Mason, president of the Chamber
of Comm< rce, Is enthusiastically In favor
of a steamship line to Seattle. He said;
"It is <he realization of one of. our fond
est hopes, and we expect that the City of
Columbia will be she means of placing
Hilo bffore the world In her true position
—as the principal commercial port of the
Hawaiian Islands. 1 am in hearty accord
with and will assist in every way postrible
the people of the Sound in maintaining
the vessel on this run. I believe this can
t?e done with very little loss to the com
pany at tiie start, which will decrease
with every visit. it is certainly a moat
opportune time for the steamer to coma
here and I will gladly scour the country
districts t.> a m at in securing return
freight, and If the sb up< r dors not have

of the merchants of Hilo. Tn order to in
