THE CAMP MERRITT CURSE What the Seventh Has Had to Contend With SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA'S DEATH ROLL EXPOSURE TO VILELY UNSANITARY CONDI TIONS AND UNNECESSARY HARDSHIPS The Tennessee Regiment a Shuttlecock for Two Rival Street Car Companies—No Valid Reason for Selection or Maintenance of the Site While the official announcement has been made tfhat the Seventh California regiment la at last to sail for Manila on the trans port Arizona, either Monday or Tuesday of next week, the conditions that they have had to contend with for nearly three months will still be of grave Interest to many Southern Collfornlans. The Seventh will leave many comrades behind in the hospital and not a few who have met a soldier's death, but not in the glory of the battlefield, but by the criminal mistakes of the authorities. The unnecessary hardships, says the San Francisco Call, through which the men have passed, tho long list of deaths from pneumonia and other diseases clue to ex posure, which could have been avoided by the pursuit of the proper policy, are what offends and exasperates the relatives and friends of the men. It Is the general opinion among those who have visited l the sev.eral camps known as Camp Merrltt that it would have been diffi cult for those in power to select a more des olate, inhospitable and unsanitary location than the one to which the enthusiastic vol unteer troops were assigned. The shifting, driving sands, the cold, taw, fog-laden winds and lack of sewerage, together with the fact that none of the out elde regiments were accustomed to the pe culiar summer climate of San Francisco, account for the many deaths and disabil ities among the sturdy men who came here on their way to the front. Those who are left to fight the adverse conditions are strong ln the belief, along with the public, that peculiar "street car" reasons and not military requirements were responsible for the strange move. Speak ing of this proposition one of the subordi nate officers of the Tennessee, regiment eald yesterday: "We feel that we are getting more than our share of street car Imposition. At home, while wo were ln camp awaiting or ders, we were used as a shuttlecock be tween two rival street car companies who owned parks ln different parts of the city. Our regiment was the attraction and we were moved back and forth from park to park several times during the month we Were In camp. It was acase of who bid the highest between the two common carriers. We naturally hoped that such Influences Would not prevail in a city where there is a large military reservation, but It looks as though the volunteers were not regard ed as ha ving any rights the regular officers were bound to recognize. Soldiers are not PAINFUL CONTRASTS IN HOSPITALS AT CAMP MERRITT i —San Francisco Call. expected to complain, but to endure hard ships without murmur when they are un avoidable; but when one sees his former healthy, strong comrades go down to sick ness and death like so many sheep, and knows there Is no valid excuse for these conditions, lie can't help expressing him self." All of which there is no one to deny, be cause there were no valid reasons to give for herding the men ln Camp Merrltt sand pits ln stormy weather, to sleep on damp straw beds when there were good, well drained grounds In Uncle Sam's reserva tion. The result of this action of the authori ties was many deaths and a great deal of sickness which should not have existed. The camp hospitals were overcrowded, and It was through the generosity of the French hospital that relief from overcrowding was obtained, that institution taking ln the un fortunate men to the full capacity of he free wards. All this time the trained and well-sea soned regulars at the Presidio were occu pying warm and comfortable quarters and there was no Indication of a efeslre to guard the raw volunteers from the unaccustomed hardships and dangers. In this connection it will be observed that it Is only within the past week, when fhe comfortable Presidio barracks were nearly abandoned by tho regulars, that the pro tests of relatives and friends of the volun teer soldiers, backed by the criticisms of the people of San Francisco, wpro heeded, and arrangements made to give them proper grounds and hospital service. At the present time one of the fine brick two-company barracks anid a part of an other have been set aside anel equipped as hospitals, where the sick can have proper care and protection from The elements. Ther* are twelve wards In which over 210 men are cared for. There Is plenty of light, heat and ventilation, clean and comforta ble beds and the attention of trained nurses. Also facilities for disinfecting clothing and bedding. Tho comment of the public Is that these common sense protections should have bee n given the men ions ago, even if it were at the expense of two or three hundlred; tough ened regular campaigners, who could have taken a season of life in tents without suf fering ill results. In other words, that there was not the proper sympathy among the regulars for the volunteers and that it was only through the pressure of public opinion that the present order opening the hospital LOS AJNGEI2SS HERALD: WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 3, {896 and transferring the troops to the Pre sidio were promulgated. I The condition of the Tennessee troops at rale time, except that the weather Is better, shows what hasbeen endured, and the com fort of the lucky boys at the division hos pital at tho Presidio are a striking and) sad Illustration of what might have been had their rights received proper consideration. Not only the location but the condition of the regimental hospital of the Tennes see regiment Is disgraceful and Inexcusa ble. It Is pitched ln the cold, damp sand, exposed to the chilling, freezing blasts from the ocean, and reminds tbe visitor of the accommodations of a Chinese lodging, house more than anything else. Despite the stiff winds and that the tent flap Is left open, the odor within Is decidedly offensive. The sick men, weighted down with several blankets, were miserable enough with their ills, but added to these was the pres ence of myriads of files which constituted an almost unbearable nuisance, andagalnst the attacks of which no protection was offered. As an Instance of the Justice of keeping men In such a place, open to the weather. It may be stated that for several dayspast the well men have found It necessary to hover around the camp fires to guard against tho chilly weather to WhicJh| they are unaccustomed. The only satisfactory fenture of the sit uation Is that it Is understood! that Camp Merritt will soon be a thing of the past.

The Bourgogne Victims NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—The steamship Westernland arrived today and those on board report that When sixty miles oft Sable Island and within about one mile of the spot where La Bourgogne went down on July 4, the bodies of twenly-six men ahd two women were seen floating In the water. It was a significant fact that almost all ot the bodies of the men floating with life belts were sailors. Passengers seemed to have no life belts, and therefore sank. The steamship Hi awatha, which went out from Halifax to Identify the dead of La Bourgogne, was sighted by the Westernland ln thet neigh borhood of this human wreckage and was engagod In the work for which It was sent out. As tho Westernland passed tho crew on one of the boats from the Hiawatha were removing the life belts from two bodies. THE COAST TROOPS SEVENTH REGIMENT TO HAVE A RECEPTION News From the Various Camps—Wait ing' for Transports to Hurry Troops to Manila SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.—On next Sat urday evening the Seventh regiment of California volunteers, Colonel J. R. Berry, commanding, which is soon to go to Manila, is to be given a great farewell re ception at the Mechanics' pavilion under the auspices of Golden Gate commOTidcry, No. 16, Knights Templar, in aid of the Red Cross. General Merritt's call for reinforcements and Aguinaldo's ugliness havo sent a thrill along the nerves of the remaining troops of the expeditionary forces, who, with peace apparently Imminent and transports few and far between, had begun to fear that the ularms of war were not for them. If the governor general of the Philippines Is to make his demand exceed the 20,000 limit, every one here will go and more will be called for. General Merriam has had no orders as yet to make any move toward a larger ex peditionary force. The. transports Charles Nelson and the Lakme will get off some time Shis week, probably Friday. Three companies of the First battalion of the First New York volunteers.

Doth commands will be ordered to embark on Thursday. The remaining companies of the New York regiment w(jl be transported as Boon after as possible. The Alliance and Mariposa are now under consideration for this purpose. Tho North Fork will be used for freight only.
