Washington, Oct. 4. Tho report of

examine Into the condition ot affairs
nt Camp Thomas, has startled tho war
department. Tho Investigating commlt
teo will havo this report before tho ond
of this week, along with tho testimony
on whleh the findings wcro made.
Tho testimony of Col. Illlas Chandler
ot tho first Arkansas volunteers Is most
Important. Ho states that he made

ceived no medicine tram 11 o'clock one
night till 1 o'clock the next afternoon.
It had been raining nnd the wntw ran
through the tent, thoroughly wetting
tho ground, nnd soaking the bedding on
which the tick man lay.
"I asked permission," further testi
fied Col. Chandler, "to put up a habit
able tent and did so. Twenty-four
hours later he was moved to It and
twclvo hours after ho died. The ox
cusa given for not moving him sooner
was because tho ground was too wot.
"I repeatedly found men who declared
to mo thnt' tltoy had been twunty-four
hours without attention from n physi
cian. I lmo been In tho measles ward
when thoy had 130 patients nnd found
not more than three nurses and the
jmrtents complained that they could
not get water or food."
The testimony ot Lieut. Power ot
the second Kansas Is or a similar char
acter. "1 round men lying on litters
on tho ground betweou tho cots. Pa
tients wsro required to go to tho sinks
without assistance. I found thnt the
water provided for the day usually gave
out nliout 2 o'clock in the afternoon,
Frequently I happened In whan order-
lloa were distributing meals. Thoy
would stop at tho head of tho tents nnd
call out, 'Who wuntu heavy diet and
who wants light?' Tho hoavy diet con
sisted or broad, beef, beans und coffee;
tho light of bread, oatmcul and milk.
I never saw any medicine administered
to the men. It was sickening nnd tho
condition ot the floors and men foul."
Chaplain Wyntts ot tho second Ken
tucky testifies; "Men w J the mumpi
wero torccd to go out Into tho rain.
Nursos brought bread In their nrms as
thoy would carry Htovowood and throw
it on tho patients' beds, Tho tood given
tho patients was unclean." '
Major U. A. finllh ot tho hospital
told the board; "I was assigned to duty
as a ward physician on July ID, Tha
inadequato facilities compelled mo to
work to groat disadvantage. When I
took oharga sick men wero In tents
without floors, somo on cots nnd somo
on tho ground. The medlclues on hand
woro ontlroly Inadequate. Tho condi
tions I mo described wore serious
enough, but nothing in comparison
with tho lack ot Ico water and proper
nourishment. No drinking watw was
to bo had save that piped from Chleka
mnugu. crock. It was so tilled with or
ganic mnttor that tho lllleisra clogged
and nothing could be obtained to boll
it In.
"It took from Aug. 4 to SO to get n
requisition for twclvo water barrels
honored. Up to Aug, 1 thsro woie live
ward surgeons to oara for 400 patients."

Is nut much danger ot their reaching

derbolt; but heavy lose ot life Is feared
on the South Carolina sea Islands,
where such fearful Ion ot life oeourred
during tlio great tidal storm ot 1801.
The conditions now ore similar to
thoso during that storm. Owing to tho
submerged country nnd tho Isolation
nt the Islands, no news can bo had
from them until tho water subsides.
For eight mites north ot Savannah tho
country Is n lnko, with only the ham
