Tel s 'A/here The Trouble in
Mobilizing Arose.
%
Washington, Dec. I.— The
conduct of the medical survive
of the army was t»k«n up today
by the war invustigat ng com
mission and Surgeon General
Sternberg was rigidly question
ed about his administration.
The medical department, hf
said, was equipped only for an
army ot 25,000 men v hen the
war broke out and from year to
pear the estimates he had sub
mitted had been materially re
duced by congress in a policy
of economy of appropriations.
\s soon as there was a prospect
of war, he had begun prepara
tions, though not making anv
expense. He had models of
chests made, he said, and equip
ment developed, but when he
suggested to Secretary Alg*r
the propriety of making pur
chases for his service, “the
policy was to wait.” He said at
one time there were as many as
G3O contract surgeons employed
He conceded it was a mistake
not to have appointed mole
contract surg one frtm those
who had expeiience in the civil
war.
The department new, he sai ’,
has ample evidence that typhoid
cases during the war were large
ly mistaken for malarial fever
u itil the cates reached the divi
sion hospital, and that malarial
also had been diagnosed as ty
phoid. He contended that there
had been very little lack of med
ical supplies during the war, the
great dificulty being that sur
geons frequently preferred other
than the '‘field supply/’ and an
anticipated typhoid fever out
break had also . considerably
taxed the ield resources. Delays
frtquently had been caused
through want of delivery to the
proper medical officer.
Surgeon General Stembeig
concerning the relative merits
of division and regimental hos
pitals, said that while experience
has taught * good deal, the
theories of the department as to
medical administration were
borne out in the main. Coming
to the history of the Santiago
movement, Gen. Starnberg ex
plained that there had been an
abundance of medical officers
ard supplies'sent to Santiago
and said the trouble, so far as he
could judges arose in their land
ing and distribution. He said
emphatically that he could do no
more in his office than send
supplies where he thought they
we re needed and respond
promptly so requisitions.
Gen. Beaver: ‘We are to un
derstand, you had at all times
the hearty support and goodwill
of those over you in forwarding
the work of your department”
“Yes,” was the reply, “mos-t
undoubtedly.
As to the general condition ot
troops in mobilization camps, he
said the trouble could nearly a-J
Ibe summed up in two phrases,
“neglect of sanitary measures"
and “letting the troops remain
too long in one -amp.”

The geijersl’s three months of

cleaned and is devising meas
-ures for the sanitation and polic
ing of the city. Senor Fernando
de Castro, the Spanish civil gov
ernoi, is accepting Gen. Greene's
sug ;e«tions and aiding in the
pre itn nary measures to be
adopted. The proclamation of
Maiquis de Esteban, the aleade
of Ha a.i i, issued on the advice
Greene, with regard to
throwing refuse into the streets,
is commented on favorably by
the Havana press.
The preparation for a changej
iof flags is thus being brougl t
about by degrees, and the tran
sition will not be abrupt. Al

000 Gen. Castellanos does not
fix a date for their withdrawal
earlier than Jan. Ist, but they
probably will retire to Cienfue
gos before Christmas. The be
havior of Gen. Castellanos so far
as the Americans are concerned,
is most agreeable. He paid an
official visit to the United States
evacuation commissioners today
returning the visit officially
paid to him.
Gen, Castellanos received a
cable older yesterday to draw
on Paris for $1,500,000 with
which to pay his troops.
