In recording the official facts relating to the part the State of 
New York took in the Spanish-American war, it is but just to 
set forth who were the members of the military family of the 
Governor and Commander-in-Chief, and to include in the record 
the assistants of the various chiefs of departments. 

The officers of the adjutant-general's and of the ordnance 
departments bore the brunt of the work, the chief of ordnance 
being also acting quartermaster-general. The work of these 
officers did not cease when the New York contingent was mus- 
tered in the United States service; they then had to organize and 
equip the new organizations of the national guard formed to take 
the place of those entered into the United States service. The 
adjutant-general's department was in demand by the New York 
volunteers until the latter were mustered out of the United States 
service, and even then its work in this connection continued for 
some time, presenting and prosecuting claims against the United 
States. 



STAFF DEPARTMENTS OF THE STATE. 

The names of the ofiBcers given, are those who were in these 
departments from April 15th, to December 15th, 1898. In the 
column '' service," in its subdivisions, the volunteer service of the 
oflicer is completed, and his national guard service brought down 
to the close of the Spanish-American war or still later.

DECLARATION OF WAR. 

The Congress of the United States enacted the following^ 
approved by the President, April 25, 1898: 

AN ACT declaring that war exists between the United States of 
America and the Kingdom of Spain. 

Be it enfictcd hy tJie Senate and House of Representwtives of the 
United States of Ame^-'ica in Congress assembled: 

First. That war be, and the same is hereby, declared to exist, 
and that war has existed since the twenty-first dmj of April, Anno 
Domini, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight, including said day, 
between the United States of America and the Kingdom of Spain. 

Second. That the President of the United States be, and he 
hereby is, directed and empowered to use the entire land and 
naval forces of the United States, and to call into the actual ser- 
vice of the United States the militia of the several states, to such 
extent as may be necessary to carry this act into effect. 

Approved, April 2.5, 1S9S. 

Before passing the foregoing act Congress had demanded that 
the government of Spain relinquish its authority in the island of 
Cuba, and had directed the President of the United States to use 
the military and naval forces of the country to carry its demands 
into effect and made provisions for increasing the military estab- 
lishment of the United States. 



VOLUNTEERS — ARMY. 

FIRST CALL. 

In accordance with the acts of Congress, the President issued 
the following, calling on the country for one hundred and twenty- 
five thousand volunteers: 

By the President of the United States. 

A PROCLAMATION. 

Whereas, A joint resolution of Congress was approved on the 
20th day of April, 1898, entitled " Joint resolution for the recogni- 
tion of the independence of the people of Cuba, demanding that 
xhe government of Spain relinquish its authority and government 
in the island of Cuba, and to withdraw its land and naval forces 
from Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing the President of the 
United States to use the land and naval forces of the United 
States to carry these resolutions into effect," and 

Whereas, By an act of Congress entitled "An act to provide for 
temporarily increasing the military establishment of the United 
States in time of war and for other purposes," approved April 22, 
1898; the President is authorized, in order to raise a volunteer 
army, to issue his proclamation calling for volunteers to serve in 
the army of the United States; 

Now, therefore, 1, William McKinley, President of the United 
States, by virtue of the power vested in me by the Constitution 
and the laws, and deeming sufficient occasion to exist, have 
thought fit to call forth and hereby do call forth, volunteers to 
the aggregate number of 125,000, in order to carry into effect the 
purpose of the said resolution; the same to be apportioned, as far 
as practicable, among the several States and Territories and the 
District of Columbia, according to population, and to serve for 
two years, unless sooner discharged. The details for this object 
will be immediately communicated to the proper authorities 
through the War Department, 



24 ^'EW YUKK IN SPANISH- AMERICAN WAR. 

In witness, whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused 
the seal of the United States to be affixed. 

Done at the city of Washington, this 23d day of April, A. D., 
1S9S, and of the independence of the United States the one hun- 
dred and twenty-second. 

[SEAL.] WILLIAM McKINLEY. 

By the President: 

JoHx Sherman, 

Secretary of State. 

April 2oth. 

The following telegram was receiyed by the Governor from the 
Secretary of War, Hon. R. A. Alger: 

" The number of troops from your state under call of the Presi- 
dent, dated April 23, 1898, will be twelve regiments of infantry 
and two troops of cavalry. It is the wish of the President that 
the regiments of the national guard or state militia shall be used 
as far as their numbers will permit for the reason that they are 
armed, equipped and drilled. Please wire as early as possible 
what equipments, ammunition, arms, blankets, tents, etc., you 
have and what additional you will require. Please also state when 
troops will be ready for muster into United States service, details 
to follow bv mail." 

April 2QtJi. 

In view 'Of the fact that the President desired that the national 
guard should be used as far as practicable to fill this call and 
that under the constitution of the United States, the national 
guard (militia) of the state could be ordered into the service of 
the United States only to repel invasion, to execute the laws of 
the Union and to suppress insurrection, it became necessary to 
ascertain which of the organizations of the national guard were 
willing to enter the T^^nited States service voluntarily, and, to 
obtain such information, special orders, No. 64, were issued, as 
follows: 



VOLUXTEEKS (ARMY)— FIRST CALL. 25 

"As a demand has been made upon the state of New York by 
the President of the United States for volunteers, and as he has 
requested that the quota to be sent from this state be made up as 
far as possible from the national guard, the commander-in-chief 
directs the commanding officer of the national guard to have the 
commanding officer of each infantry organization in the state 
assemble at once his command in uniform in its armory, and there 
by an individual expression, freely and voluntarily given, learn 
hovs^ many officers and enlisted men of his organization desire to 
be mustered into the service of the United States for the term of 
two years, unless sooner discharged, to serve where ordered by 
the proper authorities. 

" The result of the above instructions to be telegraphed direct 
to general headquarters, stating in the telegram the present 
enlisted strength of the organization, and exactly how many 
officers and how many men desire to volunteer."

secretary of war was received by the Governor this day, and by 
him referred to the adjutant-general of the state. 

To the Governor of New York.

increasing the military establishment of the United States in time 
of war, and for other purposes," approved April 22, 1898, and

have the honor to request you to provide from your state the 
quota of volunteers, as follows:

arms of service designated for the period of twO' years unless 
sooner discharged. Attached will be found a statement showing

The following telegram, dated May 7th, 1S!)S. from the secre- 
tary of war to the Governor, was received at the otiice of the 
adjutant-general of the state this day: 

"It is the intention to order to Camp George H, Thomas, 
Chickamauga National Park, Ga., the first four regiments of 
infantry of your state which shall first be completely equipped. 
Every effort should be exerted to complete as fast as possible 
each regiuKuit in turn, rather than all simultaneously. Report 
by telegraph when first regiment will be ready, also any subse- 
(pieut changes in date as to when regiment will be ready." 

May Uth. 

The secretary of war telegraphed to the Governor this day, as 
follows: 

" Referring to my telegram of May 7th, we wish everything you 
can furni.sh, as the government is going to liave hard work to 
equip its troops in time for service. Please have inventor}^ of 
state property furnished with vi(^w to its return or accounting for. 
The organizations to be equipped for Chickamauga should have 
everything required for field service, arms, ammunition, accoutre- 
meuls, rami! e(juipage, tentage, etc."' 

And later: 

" Rer( I ling to luy telegram of May 7th, you are informed that, 
owing lo changed conditioniS, the destination of troops of your 
state uuuli(uied tin it in has been changed from Camp George 
n, Thomas, Ga., lo Tampa, Fla., and they will be sent there

provided your liooi)s ai-e uniformed, armed and equipped ready 
for service." 

3Iaii lOlh. 

Tlie following? telegram was sent by the adjutant-jjeneral of the 
state to (lie lionorable secretary of war: "The (Jovcrnor is ready 
to start troops fully uniformed and ('tpiipped as soon as (icncral 
Davis reports men mustered. Will report definitely this evi-ninj,' 
from Hotel AValdorf, New York city." 

Rrijiadier-Geneial George W. Davis, United States volunteers, 
chief mustering otticer. was by telegraph requested to nieel the 
adjutant-general this evening at the Hotel Waldorf, New York 
city. 

Brigadier-General James McLeer, second brigade, was author- 
ized to uniform and e(iuip such members of the thirteenth regi- 
ment ae were volunteering to fill up the four companies at Gamp 
Black, from the ju'operty issued heretofore by the state to the 
commanding olTicer of the thirteenth regiment, ordered disbanded. 

The adjutant-general of the United States army was tele- 
graphed to this etYect: 

"Jn supitlying oui- troo]»s we require canteens and Merriam 
packs, which we cannot obtain elsewhere. Can United States 
supply these ? " 

The answer to this, received in due course of time, was unfavor- 
able. 

Alai/ nth. 

The adjutant-general of the TTnited States army telegraphed 
to the Governor as follows: '' Secretary of war bids me to state 
to you this situali(ui: There are a number of ves,sels leaving New 
Yoi-k to-night, to UKiriow and early Fiiday morning for Key 
West. It is desirable that, if (Uie oi- two regiments of your state 
are tlioi-ouglily armed, uniformed and equipped witli tentage, etc., 
for field service, Ihey be placed en-route so as to reach New York 
in time to take advantage of these ships going south. It is 
thoughl that the men will be more comfortable than going by 



50 NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

rail, and as these ships are chartered by the day, just so much 
railroad transportation will be eaved; but, unless your regiment 
or regiments can reach New York so as to be on board early 
Friday morning, it is not necessary to consider the proposition. 
Should you find that they can, you will place yourself in com- 
munication with Colonel Kimball, the depot quartermaster, Army 
building, New York, in order that he may perfect all arrange- 
ments for transportation from railroad to outgoing ships. Sec- 
retary of war will be obliged if reply by wire can be sent during 
the night, same to be addressed to adjutant-general whose office 
will be open until midnight." 

The Governor received the following telegram from the Secre- 
tary of War, Honorable R. A. Alger: " It is now desired that two 
regiments of infantry of your state, as soon as mustered^ armed 
and equipped, be sent to Tampa. Please inform me when it will 
be possible for your troops to move. If not fully equipped, but 
sufficiently so to travel, it may be considered best to have them 
go and complete equipments, etc., at Tampa. A detailed state- 
ment of the situation as to your troops is requested as soon as 
it is possible for you to give it." 

May 12th. 

General H. C. Corbin, adjutant-general of the United States 
army, telegraphed to the adjutant-general of the state: "It has 
been determined that the seventy-first New York volunteer regi- 
ment is the only one to go by transport to Key West." 

And to the Governor of the state: " Secretary of war bids me 
inform you, the United States mustering officers have been 
instructed to report all regiments mustered into United States 
service, full name of colonel commanding, to what extent lacking 
in arms, ammunition, uniforms, clothing, equipment and tentage, 
and that from the moment of muster-in to United States service 
organizations will cease to be under the orders of state authori- 
ties and the orders for their disposition, transportation and sup 
plies will be controlled by the war department alone. The 
colonels and commanding officers of separate organizations will 



VOLUNTEERS (ARMY)— FIKST CALL. 51 

be instructed bj the mustering officer to report by tclegrai)li to 
the adjutant-general of the army immediately after muster-in. 
Please acknowledge receipt." 

The Governor of the state received the following telegram from 
the Honorable R, A. Alger, secretary of war: "Two regiments, 
infantry, your state, having been mustered into service, will he 
ordered to-day to proceed to Chickamauga. It is desired that the 
.state authorities furnish all supplies possible in way of clothing, 
camp and garrison equipage and all appurtenances for a soldier 
in the field, including tents, which are much needed. On arrival 
at Chickamauga these troops, with those of other states, will be 
thoroughly equipped and moved to the front. This was found 
to be better than to attempt to thoroughly equip the regiment at 
the state rendezvous. Ordnance, quartermaster's and subsistence 
departments are concentrating at Chattanooga supplies to meet 
situation." 

May Wth. 

In response to an inquiry the following telegram was received 
from Brigadier-General Stanton, paymaster general, U. S. army: 

" All volunteers accepted by the government will be paid from 
date of enrollment. Rejected recruits will receive no pay, but only 
transportation and subsistence from the place of enrollment to 
rendezvous and return." 

In accordance with the directions of the Governor the adju- 
tant-general sent an inquiry to the honorable secretary of war 
to this effect: "Will the United States reimburse the State of 
New York, should the Governor decide to pay the volunteers of 
this state from the date of their enrollment to the date of their 
muster-in to the United States service?" 

May nth. 

In response to telegram of the 16th, the following was received 
from the adjutant-general of the United States army: "United 
States will pay all accepted enlisted men from the date of enroll- 



52 NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

ment and officers I'lom tlie date of muster-in, and will bear 
expense of transportation and subsistence only in cases of 
rejected recruits from place of enrollment to place of rendezvous 
and return." 

Orders were issued that to each of the rej;inienls about to 
enter, or already entered into the United States service, there 
will be allowed one additional major and three battalion adju- 
tants. 

Brigadier-General Ludington, quartermaster-general. United 
States army, telegraphed to the Governor: "Please request 
colonels of regiments coming to Washington to inform this office 
by wire quantities, kinds and sizes of clothing and tents that 
troops from your state ordered to camp near Washington will 
require upon arrival at camp in addition to what they bring with 
them. Owing to unavoidable delay in obta'ning large quantities 
required, organizations should come as fully equipped as pos- 
sible." 

May ISth. 

The following telegram was sent to General Ludington, quar 
termaster-general, U. S. army: "The Governor is in receipt of 
your telegram of yesterday as to regiments going to Washington 
and would gladly comply with your request, but, as the War 
Department does not notify him when it orders regiments out of 
the state, nor where it orders them to, he is not able to do 
so." 

And the following to the adjutant-general, U. S. army: "The 
Governor requests lliat New York regiments be not ordered out 
of the stale before their commanding officers have rendered to 
liiin an inventory of tlic state property they take with them into 
the United States service," 

Copies of the '' Manual for Army Cooks," " Handbook of Quar- 
termaster's Stores " and " Manual of the Medical Department " 
were sent to the commanding officers of the volunteer organiza- 
tions of this state.

May 2\st. 

Tlu' followinfij (<'l('<;i;uii was sent to the honorable seorttary of 
war, by the adjiitant-^nu'ral of tlic state: " Is it youi- decision 
that a sqiiadrou of cavaiiy is pcniiitted to have a surgeon? W ill 
you grant Goveruor lUack permission to coniniiss'.on Dr. Leale, of 
troop A, as surgeou, N. Y. Volunteers? He is reported as having 
passed a very successful examination." 

The reply to this, when received, w^as to the effect that two 
companies of cavalry could not be allowed an assistant surgeou. 

May 2()th. 

The adjutant-general of the army telegraphed to the Governor: 
" Secretary of w^ar has decided that volunteer oflficers of the 
same grade rank according to muster into United States ser- 
vice. When commissions of such oflficers bear same date, rela- 
tive rank is determined by previous length of United States mili- 
tary service under commission, and in absence of such service, 
by lot. Secretary considers it very desirable that the commis- 
sions bear same date as muster into service." 

May 27th. 

The following was telegraphed to the adjutant-general of the 
army by the adjutant-general of the state: ''The Governor 
regrets he did not know the wishes of the secretary of war 
sooner, as a few days ago he decided on the course to take in the 
matter of rank of colonels from this state." 

May 2Sth. 

The following inquiry was made for the Governor of the 
adjutant-general, United States army: "Has Governor authority 
to appoint a major for the two troops of tlie state now in the 
field?" The reply to this, received May 31st, was " there is no 
authority for appointment of major for two troops of cavalry." 

The adjutant-general of the state telegraphed to the adjutant- 



54 NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

general of the army as follows: "Mustering officers, Chieka- 
mauga Park, are reported to refuse muster-in of officers until 
they show commissions. The order of the Governor appointing 
them should be as good as a commission, otherwise there will be 
long delays." 

May 31s<. 

The following was received by the adjutant-general of the state 
from General Corbin, adjutant-general, United States army: " It 
is regarded by war department unwise to muster officers of state 
regiments into United States service without commissions, in 
view of requirement of section 6, volunteer army act, and the 
rule governing musters in the late ciAdl war. The rule is that 
the production of a commission is an indispensable prerequisite 
to muster-in and secretary of war is not inclined to set it aside.-' 

General C. Whitney Tillinghast, 2d, sent the following tele- 
gram to all commanding officers of New York volunteer organi- 
zations: " If you have not forwarded pay rolls for state pay, do so 
at once. There is absolutely needed a report from each company, 
giving names of men rejected, date of their enlistment and of 
rejection, else they cannot be paid. Please be prompt about this." 

June \st. 

The adjutant-general of the state telegrai)hed to the adjutant- 
general. United States army: "As regards muster-in of officers 
on commission only, the Governor desires to represent that an 
order from him appointing an officer is as good as a commission, 
and that officers without commissions have been mustered in on 
his orders at other points and times. It is not always prac- 
ticable to issue a commission to an officer immediately on his 
appointment, and not to muster him in puts an unnecessary hard- 
ship on the officer." 

June 2d. 

The following was received in reply from the adjutant-general 
of the army: ''The appointment of an officer by the Governor 
should secure his muster. This is authority for the mustering 
officer's guidance." 



VOLUNTEERS (ARMY)— FIRST C^LL. 55 

June Sd. 

The adjutant-general of the state was still receivino; reports 
that mustering officers failed to muster-in officers, and ilie fol- 
lowing letter was addressed by him to the adjutant-general of the 
U. S. army : 

<> Siu:— I have the honor to confirm and add to telegrams sent 
this day. The Governor would appreciate it if orders were 
issued so that, on presentation of an appointment from him to a 
commissioned officer, that officer could be properly mustered in at 
each or any of the national encampments. This will avoid 
requests to you which in your overburdened state should be a 
relief." 

Finally, under date of June 17th, a telegram was received by 
him from the War Department as follows: " Instructions tele- 
graphed commanding generals of all army corps to recognize 
appointments of Governor of New York as equivalent to commis- 
sion." 

As the military department of the state has been criticised in 
regard to the delay in paying the men of the New York organiza- 
tions entering the United States service, attention is called to 
the telegram sent by the adjutant-general of the state, under 
date of May 31st, to the commanding officers of these organiza- 
tions, and to two telegrams to two regimental commanders sent 
June 9th and 10th, respectively, and which are quoted here: 

" If your pay rolls are correct from day of enrollment, showing 
those mustered in and those rejected, with additional pay allowed 
for long service to men of this state, send them by quick delivery 
or express to paymaster-general, S. N. Y., New York city, imme- 
diately. The state is more anxious to pay than is easily imagined, 
but the law will not permit it until complete and correct pay rolls 
are submitted. Please repeat these statements to other New 
York state commanding officers at your camp. We are now work- 
ing about thirty men endeavoring to correct vital errors made in 
pay rolls submitted by officers in the field," and 



56 NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

" Your telegram at hand. Not a single one of your company 
pay rolls was correct. We have corrected them here by muster- 
in rolls, and you will be paid as soon as the paymaster-general 
can get to you. You can say to any interested officer that there 
was not a single pay roll in the state of New York that was cor- 
rect. I'ublicity should be given to this as a matter of fairness to 
pay department." 

June 15th. 

Brigadier-General Janu s McLeer, 2d brigade^ was relieved from 
special duty at Rrooklyn, 

June Mtll. 

Brigadier-General Howard Canoli. chief of artillery, was placed 
on special duty in connection with a tour of inspection of the 
volunteers of this state then in various camps in the south. His 
report on his return was i^endered to the commander-in-chief. 

Under the orders of the war department as to constitution of 
regiments, a regimental a,djutant. a regimental quarternmster 
and a regimental assistant surgeon held the grade of a first lieu- 
tenant and there were but two majors and no battalion adjutantjs 
allowed. Under the military code of the state there are allowed 
three majons and battalion adjutants for i-egiments of twelve 
companies, and the grade of a regimental adjutant, regimental 
quartermaster and assistant surgeon is that of captain. As soon 
as the act of Congress, approved April 22, 1898, was promulgated 
and the purport of section six brought to the attention of the 
adjutant-general of the state, proper commissions, with grade as 
provided by the state code, were issued to these officers. The 
jiart of the section of the act referred to, applicable in this case, 
is as follows: " Pro-vidcd further, that v.hen the members of any 
company, troop, battery, battalion or regiment of the organized 
militia of any state shall enli,^t in tlie volunteer army in a body 
as such company, troop, battery, battalion or regiment, the regi- 
mental, comjiany, troop, battery and battalion ofiicers in service 
with the militia organization thus enlisting, may be appointed 
by the governors of the states and territories and shall, when so 



VOLUNTEERS (ARMY)— FIRST CALL, HT 

appoiuted, be officers of corresponding grades in the same 
organization when it shall liave been received into the service of 
the United States as a part of the volunteer armj^" 

This, being an act of Congress, moditied the orders of the war 
department and the orders based iii>on them as they related to 
national guard officers who came under this provision. 

As there were, however, mustering officers who declined to 
muster-in the officers in the increased grade, the following letter 
was addressed to the honorable secretary- of war by General C. 
Whitney Tillinghast, 2d, adjutant-general, and copies of it were 
furnished to the commanding officers of the New York volunteer 
organizations: 

Jul If ^th. 

"Sir: — I have the honor to call your attention to section 6, of 
the act of Congress, approved April 22, 181)8, entitled: 'An act to 
provide for temporarily increasing the military establishment of 
the United States in time of war and for other purposes.' 

"This section provides 'that when the members of any com- 
pany, troop, battery, battalion or regiment of the organized 
militia of any state shall enlist in the volunteer army in a body 
as such company, troop, battery, battalion or regiment, the regi- 
mental, company, troop, battery and battalion officers in service 
with the military organization thus enlisting, may be appointed 
by the governors of the states and territories and shall, when so 
appointed, be officers of corresponding grades in the same organi- 
zation when it shall have been received into the service of the 
United States as a part of the volunteer army.' 

" Upon the first call of the President this state furnished twelve 
regiments, all taken from its national guard, the organizi'd militia 
of the state. 

" The military code of the state provides that among the field 
and staff officers of the regiment there shall be three majors; one 
regimental adjutant of the grade of captain; three battalion 
adjutants of the grade of first lieutenant; one regimental quarter- 
master of the grade of captain; three battalion quartermasters of 



58 NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

the grade of first lieutenant; one commissary of subsistence of 
the grade of captain; two inspectors of small arms practice, one 
of the grade of captain, the other of the grade of first lieutenant; 
two assistant surgeons of the grade of captain. The Governor 
did not appoint battalion quartermasters nor inspectors of small 
arms practice, but did appoint the regimental adjutant and regi- 
mental quartermaster and the assistant surgeons; and he is 
informed that these officers, who under the state law hold the 
grade of captains, are mustered in as first lieutenants, while, as he 
is credibly informed, like officers of other states have been mus- 
tered in according to their state rank. 

^' Governor Black directs me to bring this matter to 3'our 
notice, knowing that, as soon as you will be made aware of this 
violation of the act of Congress, you will issue the necessary 
orders to rectify this error and cause the regimental adjutants 
and quartermasters and assistant surgeons of the twelve regi- 
ments furnished by this state to be mustered in as captains. 

" In connection with this matter, I am also instructed to call 
your attention to section 55, S. O. 155, headquarters of the army, 
A. G. O., July 2, 1898, which musters out Frank B. Edwards, on 
the ground of having been at first erroneously mustered into the 
said regiment as battalion adjutant. 

"As stated above the state law provides for battalion adjutants, 
the first regiment was organized as a national guard regiment 
and the Governor fails to see the justice of the action taken in 
mustering out this officer, and therefore requests that this order 
be revoked and the officer ordered to join his regiment." 

July 9 th. 

The adjutant-general of the state telegraphed to the adjutant- 
general, U. S. army, on the same subject as follows: " The twelve 
regiments furnished are national guard organizations. It has 
been brought to the notice of the Governor that regimental 
adjutants and quartermasters and assistant surgeons have been 
mustered in as of grade of first lieutenant, while the state law 



VOLUNTEERS (ARMY)— FIRST CALL. 51) 

makes them captains. They have commissions as such now, and 
Governor Black requests that the act of Congress be complied 
with and those officers be re-mustered in proper grade. The law 
of the state provides for battalion adjutants, and one of the first 
regiment was discharged July 2d. The (Jovernor requests that 
the order discharging this oHicer be revoked and tliat battalion 
adjutants be allowed to these regiments in accordance with the 
act of Congress."

REPORT OF MAJOR-GENERAL CHARLES F. ROE, N. G. 

Hdadquarters National Guaud, N. V., 

Stewart Building, 280 Broadway, 

New York City, July 1, 1898. 
Adjutant-General, S. N. T. 

Sir: — I have the honor to submit the following report of the 
establishment of the camp at Hempstead Plains, L. L, known as 
"Camp Black": 

On April 22d, received an order from adjutant-general directing 
me to examine the range at Creedmoor, with a view of establish- 
ing a camp. On inquiry found water was very scarce at that 
place and space very limited. Colonel Olin, assistant adjutant- 
general of my staff, strongly recommended Hempstead I'lains as 
a place suitable for encamping thousands of men. Colonel Olin 
was directed to communicate with Judge Horace Russell and 
sent this telegram : 

New York, April 23, 1898. 

Hon. Horace Russell, Southampton, L. I. 

Would you allow state to use portion of Hempstead Plains free 

of charge for purpose mentioned in our conversation the other 

day? 

Stephen H. Olin, 

Asst. Adj. -Gen., 

280 Broadway. 

While at Albany I received the following telegram: 

New York, April 25, 1898. 
Major-General Roe, Headquarters Nat. Guard, Albany, N. Y. 

Judge Russell answers my telegram of Saturday: "Yes, most 
willingly." 

Stephen H. Olin, 

A. A. G. 



72 NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

This information was communicated to the adjutant-general. 

In Albany about H p. m., April 27. 1898, I received G. O., No. 8, 
c. s., A. G. O., Par. X, of which requires that a camp be establish; d 
at Hempstead Plains, L. I., to be commanded by Major-General 
Charles F. Roe. 

The following telegraphic order was sent to commanding officei' 
first brigade, 8 West Fifty-second street. New York city: 

In compliance with G. ()., No. 8, c. s., A. G. ()., the following- 
organizations of your brigade are selected to enter the service 
of United States as volunteer regiments: ninth and twelfth regi- 
ments. Orders in detail will follow by mail. Each regiment will 
consist of twelve companies, of three officers and eighty-one men 

each. 

Chas. F. Roe, 

Maj.-Oen. 

Same order was sent to commanding officer second brigade as 
to thirteenth, fourteenth and forty-seventh regiments. Same to 
commanding officer third brigade as to regiments made u]» of 
separate companies known as first and second provisional regi- 
ments. Same to commanding oflli<'('i' fourth brigade as to sixty- 
fifth regiment and third ju-ovisional regiment made up of st^jtarale

Chas. F. Roe, 

Alaj.-Gen. 



VOLUNTEERS (ARMY)— CAMP BLACK. 73 

Same order was sent to conunaiKlino- officer fourtli brigade, 
except that the troops were directed to move Sunday. 

Thursday, April 28th, about midnight I left Albany with my 
aide, Major Crreer; arrived in New "^'ork Ck'AU a. m., and met my 
commissary, Colonel TTurry, to whom 1 had telej;raphed. Ordered 
him to take steps at (tnce to jn'ctvidc rations for nine thousand 
men at camp on Hempstead IMains, L. L, near Garden City; to 
have the rations there Monday, May 2d, for three days and to 
arrange to have rations delivered every three days thereafter. 

At S a. 111.. |)roceeded to Long Island City; met Colonel Olin, 
Major Andrews and others of my staff and proceeded by train to 
two miles east of (iarden (Mty; left the train and selected the site 
which became "Camp Black." Colonel Olin knew the approximate 
location through the kindness of Mr. Prescott Hall Butler, who 
represented the owners of the A. T. Stewart estate. The repre- 
sentatives of two water companies and a pump com})any being 
on the ground, they were invited to otTer bids for supplying the 
cam]) with water. The proposition of the Hempstead Water Com- 
pany to lay about five miles of pipe to supply 9,500 men with 
water for three months; to supply barrels and keep them filled 
with water until line was completed, all for the sum of |0.500, 
was accepted. Work was begun on the pipe line on Saturday, 
April 30th, pipe secured in New York and shipped by rail. Water 
was delivered by pipe by Wednesday, May 3d, and the line was 
completed by Thursday, May 4th. This line of pipe ran in rear 
of whole camp, which was one and a half miles long, with a 
faucet at each street, 113 faucets in all. 

On Thursday, April 28th, the commanding officer of the seventy- 
first regiment was directed to send one company to Hempstead 
Plains to guard property. The company detailed was " H," 
seventy-first regiment, Captain Joyce, which arrived about 2 p. m., 
April 28th; went into camp and rendered most excellent service, 
guarding property, working daily moving and unloading canvas 
and stores until the camp was fully established on May 2d. This 
company was the first in the field of the New York troops and 
deserves much praise. 



74 NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

The following were placed on my staff per S. O., 68 c. s., A.G.O.: 
" Colonel William Gary Sanger, assistant chief of artillery, and 
Colonel Nelson H, Henry, assistant surgeon-general, are detailed 
temporarily for duty on staff of the commanding officer of the 
national guard." The following officers were also detailed on my 
staff for duty at camp at Hempstead, per S. O., 72, c. s., A. G. O.: 
Major David P. Arnold, commissary of subsistence, fifth brigade; 
Major N. B. Thurston, twenty-second regiment, and Major Avery 
D. Andrews, squadron A. 

The regiments designated to go to camp on Hempstead Plains 
received their orders for movement direct from the adjutant- 
general, and arrangements were made by General Howard Carroll, 
chief of artillery, for transportation by rail from Long Island 
City, on Mondav, May 2d. These arrangements were success- 
fully carried out, and the troops were turned over to me at 
Camp Black, whither I had proceeded with my staff by special 
car early on the morning of May 2d. 

A battalion of the third regiment was the first to arrive about 
11 a. m., and the others followed with intervals of half an hour 
to an hour. The last regiment arrived about G p. m. Officers of 
mv staff met each train and conducted the troops to their 
respective camps. 

Troops of cavalry A and C arrived about dM p. m., having 
marched from their respective armories. At 7 p. m., the entire 
command, numbering about 8,000 men, was under the shelter of 
canvas; had straw for their tents and wood for cook fires, all of 
which liad been provided and hauled to the camp; and the bag- 
gage was moved from the trains by means of wagon transporta- 
tion, principally farmers' wagons. These arrangements had been 
made and were carried out by Colonel JoImi I. Holly, quarter- 
master on the staff of major-general, commanding guard and the 
camp. 

General Orders, No. 1, as follows, were issued May 2d:

require. By command of.Major-General Roe. 

The seventy-first regiment was mustered into the service of the 
United States on Tuesday, May 10th. The fourteenth regiment 
on May 16th. The sixty-fifth, second and third provisional regi- 
ments' musters were completed on May ITth. Troops A and G 
and the sixty-ninth regiment on May 19th. The first provisional 
regiment on May 20th. The twenty-second and forty-seventh 
regiments' musters were completed on May 24th. The brigade 
commanders were relieved from duty and ordered to their home 
stations when the regiments of their brigades were mustered into 
the United States volunteers. 

The regular army having established a subsistence department, 
the respective regiments were supplied by the regular commissary 
as soon as mustered in. General Pennington, United States vol- 
unteers, having been ordered to command the volunteer camp^ 
arrived May 25th. General Roe and staff were relieved from duty 
on May 25th and returned to home station. 

The weather from May 2d to 25th, inclusive, was wet and damp 
and particularly bad for new troops, but owing to the favorable 
location of the camp site and the peculiar quality of the soil, the 
health of the command was excellent and remarkable. (See Sur- 
geon Henry's report herewith.) The duties of provost marshal 
were very onerous, but were performed most excellently in a 



80 NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

thoroughly impartial and courteous manner bj Colonel William 
Gary Sanger, who thus removed many burdens from the shoulders 
of the commanding general. 

The duties of quartermaster and commissary were performed 
by Colonel Holly and Colonel Hurry, respectively, in the most 
praiseworthy manner. Their attention to duty and the energetic 
way in which it was performed was a constant gratification to 
the commanding general. Major Arnold, commissary of the fifth 
brigade staff, was of the greatest assistance to Colonel Hurry, 
commissary, and the service rendered by him was most excellent. 
To Major Arnold I extend my personal thanks. 

The medical department of the camp was looked, after by Colo- 
nel Henry, assistant surgeon-general of the state, and everything 
pertaining thereto was so intelligently and saticsfactorily carried 
out as not to cause me one moment's uneasiness. 

The other members of the staff. Colonel Olin, Major Greer, 
Major Holland, Major Williams, Major Thuiston and Major 
Andrews were ever attentive to their respective duties, and always 
on the alert to anticipate every wish of the commanding general. 

The discipline throughout was most excellent, and I think the 
state of New York has every reason to be proud of its national 
guard, and in my opinion the guard thoroughly demonstrated its 
usefulness. Although forty or fifty per cent, of certain organiza- 
tions did not volunteer or were rejected for physical reasons, the 
skeleton was left and the officers and non-commissioned olficens 
were able to handle large numbers of recruits and put them into 
good military shape in a very short time. The state of New 
York furnished its quota, 12,460 men^ in three weeks with com- 
paratively little friction, and thereby established a reputation for 
military efficiency excelled by no other state. 

His Excellency, Governor Frank S. Black, visited the camp on 
Thursday, May 12th, about five p. ni. The entire division of nine 
regiments of infantry and two troops of cavalry was formed and 
passed in review before him. 

In closing this report I want to call attention to the excellent 
work done by the Long Island Railroad Company. Sidings were

Report of Colonel Hurry, Commissary of Camp Black. 
Major-General Chas. F. Roe, N. G. N. Y. No. 280 Broadway, IS'cir 
York Gitii. 

Sir: — I have the honor to make the following report in connec- 
tion with commissary work done at Camp Black: 

According to orders I rejtorted to yon in New York city on 
Friday, April 29th, at S a. m., and acting nnder your instrnctions 
proceeded at once to make arrangements for commissary stores 
for 9,000 men. Contracts were made with Messrs, Acker, Merrall 
& Condit, for groceries; Messrs, Armonr & Co., for meats; Messrs. 
Fleischmann iK: Co., for bread, and Messrs. Wilson Bros., for vege- 
tables. On arrival at Camp J>lack on Monday, May 2d, the 
supplies were on hand and ready for delivery. Messrs. Armour 
& Co., provided their refrigerator car, which held a three days' 
suppl}' of fresh meat, and Messrs. Fleischmann & Co. delivered 
each morning 9,000 loaves of fresh bread. During the encamp- 
ment there were 142.377 rations issued, for which |4:?,8(>9.81 was 
paid, which wcmld make cost per ration '?Oj^/o cents. This 
cost would be ii'duced by |!l,40() worth of supplies turtKMl oxer 
to the United States commissary after the troops were all uuis 
tered in, which would reduce the coist per ration to 29 nro cents. 
The organizations which reported were not ]trovided with i at ion 
returns, consequently issues were made to each organizaii(»n 
and a receipt taken in a book kept for that purpose from the 
officer acting as commissary. The isenes were made to conform 
with the state allowance. I would most urgently recommend 
that some instructions be given the commissaries of the various 



82 NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

orpinizations as to the proper cooking and handling of the 
rations. There was in many cases an abstract laclv of knowledge 
on the part of the men detailed as company cooks. I am indebted 
to Major David P. Arnold, commissary of the fifth brigade, for 
his assistance in the department, and his efforts contributed 
largely to the prompt delivery of the supplies. 

Respectfully, 

Gilford Hurry, 
Licul.-Col. mid Commissary.

84 NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

Monday, Ma}' 2d, I reported at Camp Black to Major-General 
Roe, commanding; medical officers of the respective commands as 
tbev reported were directed regarding their d.uties; sinks or 
latrines were arranged, one for each comjjanj, 100 feet in rear of 
company cook tent. 

The water snpply, carried by pipe lines from the Hemj)stead 
water works, was hardly established, causing some incoinciiicnre 
during the fiist few days due to an inadeipiate supply; this was 
soon remedied; some few wells were sunk giving a good quality 
of water. 

Samples from both these sources of water supply were exam- 
ined with the result shown in the following communications:

Tillinghast, lid, I visited the camp at Hempstead, Long Island, on 
the third instant; personally examined the sources of water sup- 
ply and look samples of such water for chemical and biological 
examination. Permit me to report that the results of these 
examinations are exceedingly satisfactory. I find the water sup- 
plied the camp to be as pure as, if not purer, than any water 
that it has ever been my fortune to analyze. I inclose herewith

Assistant Surgeon Medwin Leale of squadron A was in camp 
with troops A and C, and, while he qualified before the examining 
boaid, could not be mustered into service as no provision could be 
made for a medical officer for a mounted force less than a squad- 
ron. 

Lieutenant-Colonels Herman Bendell, Walter E. Lambert and 
John Duncan Emmet, respective surgeons of the third, fifth and 
first brigades, were present in camp and gave valuable assistance. 

The weather during most of the period of this tour of service 
was very trying; repeated cold rains caused much discomfort and 
put the command to a very severe physical test. Even with these 
climatic changes there was a remarkably small percentage of 
sickness. 

Until the field hospital was erected, the kind offer of the Nassau 
Hospital Association was accepted and severe cases of illness 
were transferred to the Nassau hospital at Hempstead. 1 take 
this opportunity of thanking the association and Dr. S. N. Lane- 
hart, attending surgeon, for the kind attention and care bestowed 
upon those placed under their charge. 

The following orders and communications establishetl a system 
looking to the welfare and sanitary condition of the command:

To tlic Secretary of the Board. 

Sir: — I respectfully call y<»iir atlenlion t<» the fact that the 
present enlistment of volunteers for duty in the United States 
service causes to be collected together a large number of men 
and may cause dissemination of contagious diseases. As many 
of these men are destined to see service in the government, I 
deem it prudent that such action be taken as to prevent small- 
pox by vaccination. 

I therefore recommend that the services of the board be ten- 
dered to those in charge of the volunteer service, to perform free 
vaccination by officers of this board at any hour of the day or 
night as may seem suitable to have the same performed.

Dr. Nei-son H. Henry, Surgeon-inChief, Headquarters, Gamp

Dear Sir: — Yours of the 12th inst, in respect to furnishing 
vaccine points, is received. In reply I beg to inform you that I 
have mailed to your address this day one hundred (100) points as 
requested. It seems that you must have misunderstood the letter 
forwarded to you in regard to free vaccination, as far as the fur- 
nishing of vaccinators is concerned. This department offered to 
furnish vaccinators for the enlisted troops within the city limits 
only, and at the camps it was presumed the officers of the regi- 
ments would perform the necessary vaccinations if the virus were 
furnished by this department. 

Very respectufully, 

C. Golderman, 

Secretary pro tern. 

Vaccine virus was received but not used, I regret to say, to the 
extent I should have desired, owing to the many duties otherwise 
engaging the time of the men preparatory to their early departure 
from camp. 

As commands were mustered into the United States service 
they ceased to render morning sick reports; this necessarily has 
caused the consolidated sick report to be incomplete; nevertheless 
as commands were almost ready to have their sick taken charge 
of at the hospital and continued to draw upon the state for 
medical and surgical supplies, the reports attached may be con- 
sidered almost correct. 

It was early ascertained that the United States government 
medical department could not be depended upon to furnish sup- 
plies to our commands within at least two weeks after entering 
the service. I therefore took the responsibility of replenishing 
medical and surgical chests, and also delivered an extra surgical 
supply in two cases, not only to the commands at Camp Black,

but also to the eij^lith, uinth and twelfth rogiments at reekskill, 
Camp Townsend. The twenty-second and forty-seventh regiments 
did not receive these cases containing extra surgical supplies.

From the aboye amount |35.62 should be deducted, as a claim 
for that amount has been presented to the Long Island railroad; 
only one gallon of whiskey was received, other amount ordt'i*^! 
was destroyed or lost in transit. 

In order that there should be no misunderstanding in the medi- 
cal department, the following circular was issued; most of the 
patients at this time in the field hospital were United States 
volunteers: 

Headquarters of Major-General Commanding, | 
Camp Black, Mat/ 20, 1898. 

To the Commanding Officers of Regiments and Troops. 

Sirs: — I desire to call the attention of the medical officers of 
your respective commands to the fact that sanitary regulations 
and medical directions issued from these headtjuarters will con- 
tinue to be strictly complied with whether officers are in state or 
volunteer service. 



VOLUNTEERS (ARMY)— CAMP BLACK 101 

The field hospital and ambulance service are under state con- 
trol, but the courtesy of the same will be extended to the volun- 
teers as long as they are at this post or until further orders. 

It is to be expected that surgeons of the volunteer service and 
members of the hospital corps will render such service as may 
be deemed necessary, and that those detailed to hospital duty 
mil not be relieved without timely notice to headciuarters and 
until further provisions can be made. 

The hospital of the state will supply requisite medicine in small 
quantities to the volunteer service, for which proper receipt will 
be required, until provision is made by the general government. 

Respectfully, 

Nelson H. Hexby, 

Surge(M-in-Chief. 

May 23d, Trivate J. A. White, first separate company, third 
regiment, became insane; transferred to field hospital, having 
been mustered into service; advice was obtained from General 
Davis and he was transferred in charge of Assistant Surgeon 
Ashley to Bellevue hospital, New York city. 

Examination of volunteers: Much comment has been made 
upon the large percentage of rejection of volunteers on account 
of physical disabilities. When it is considered that many of the 
commands in camp were largely recruited with considerable haste 
and only a short time before put to the test, it can partly account 
for the figure of rejections, nevertheless it would seem that in 
some commands medical officers had been lax in their examina- 
tions and that, had the state standard been maintained at home 
stations, much time and expense would have been saved. 

Medical officers must be more careful and thorough in the 
future, and the standard raised rather than lowered. 

It has been contended that the examinations were too strict 
and perhaps in some instances, where the surgeons had an almost 
unlimited supply to select from, they certainly adhered more 
closely than absolutely necessary to the regulations; but. on the 
other hand, considering that the troops may be called upon to 
perform service in a country, the climatic conditions of which 



102 NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

are such as to tax the constitution of the very healthiest men, 
their action was fully justified. 

Camp duty and instruction.— There is no question in ray mind 
but that the plan of camp field duty and instruction followed at 
Camp Black is the proper one to be adopted by the state, and I 
recommend it be carried out in the future; the allowance from 
the state, I am almost certain, will prove sufficient to secure com- 
pany oooks, the men will be well provided for and receive instruc- 
tion not possible in any other way; officers should be allowed to 
have a mess by themselves. 

It was my observation that, where commands had had any 
previous field experience of this character, they adapted them- 
selves readily to conditions presenting themselves; their men were 
happy and well fed, their camp one of order, and sanitary com 
pleteness; this was particularly noticeable in the case of the sixty- 
fifth regiment. 

I cannot close this report without an expression of the appreci- 
ation I feel of the courtesy shown me by Major-General Roe and 
the members of his staff with whom I had the pleasure to serve. 
New York should be satisfied with and proud of the record of 

Camp Black. 

Respectfully, 

Nelson H. Henry, 

Assistant Surgeon-General. 

Beport of Colonel Sanger, Provost Marshal at Camp Black. 

Camp Black, May 25, 1898. 

Colonel Stephen H. Olin, Assistant Adjutant-General, ISf. G., N. Y.,

gir:_I have the honor to submit the following report as pro- 
vost marshal of Camp Black from May 2d, until May 24th. 

By general orders, No. 1, dated May 2d, 1898, a copy of which 
is hereto annexed, I was detailed as provost marshal, and on that 
date I accompanied Major-General Roe to Camp Black. 

Section VIII of general order. No. 1, stated that '• leaves of

will not he granted until further orders." Tuesday morning, M.i \ 
3d, rei)orts were received of the presence of soldiers without leave 
in the village of Westbury. I went there at once, and sent all those 
without passes to their regimental cam])s. That day a provost 
guard was established nt Westbury and Hempstead, the two 
nearest villages. The guard was ordered to arrest all men \vli<» 
were disorderly; to return all men without passes to their com- 
manding oflScers, and to prevent any disorderly conduct. Guards 
were also established at Garden City; at the railroad station at 
Camp Black, and subsequently at railroad station at Mineola. 
No men were permitted to leave on any railroad trains without 
passes approved at division headquarters. 

Officers of the headquarters staff and of the brigade staffs were 
detailed as lield officers of the day. 

No general guard house was established; all men arrested were 
turned over to their commanding officers, with a. statement of the 
facts, and the punishment of offenders was left to the command- 
ing officers of regiments. 

Rules were adopted to govern the traders, etc., who wished to 
deal with the soldiers. A copy of these rules is annexed to this 
report. (Not printed.) The land on which the camp was situated 
belonged to the Garden City Company, and it was given to the 
state for use for a camp without charge. General Roe selected the 
places at which traders were permitted to locate; they secured the 
pri-snlege of erecting booths or tents from the agent of the com- 
pany. The representatives of the company co-operated most 
heartily with the military authorities in limiting these privileges 
to responsible and reputable people, and in preserving order and 
securing fair dealing. All permits were revocable at the pleasure 
of the military authorities. 

As soon as the camp was established small wooden buildings 
and tents to be used as drinking saloons were erected on the high- 
way north of the camp, about half a mile distant, on land not con- 
trolled by the military authorities, or by the Garden City Com- 
pany. A provost guard was established north of the camp and on 
this highway; posts were established and the entire distance was 



104 NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMEEICAN WAR. 

patrolled. No enlisted ma.n was permitted to cross the road with- 
out a pass from his commanding officer. 

As the presence of these drinking places raised the question 
of the observance of the state liquor law, Commissioner Lyman 
was requested to send special agents to see that the law was not 
violated. He promptly sent two officers who inspected these 
places and reported that they were not violating the law. Com- 
missioner Lyman stated that there was no authority for closing 
these places. The only violation of the liquor law which was 
brought to my knowledge was in a tent near the railroad station. 
The man who owned the tent had not secured the necessary per- 
mit from the military authorities of the camp; his employee who 
had violated the law was arrested, turned over to the civil 
authorities and held in bail, and the employer at once ordered off 
the camp grounds. 

A voung man who was in camp for the alleged purpose of 
enlisting, was discovered opening letters addressed to some of the 
men in the first regiment. He was put in the guard tent and hi^ld 
until the arrival of the United States postal official and was 
then turned over to him. 

As is almost invariably the case in largo encampments of 
troops, several cases arose of boys who had left home to visit the 
camp. In every instance where application was made at head- 
quarters the boys were found and returned to their families. 

The general order of the camp was excellent. In the few 
exceptions w^hich occurred in some of the neighboring villages, 
the provost guard efficiently and effectively enforced the instruc- 
tions of the major-general in regard to preserving order. 

The services of the mounted troops were of especial value. 
Their ability to cover considerable distance in short time proved 

on several occasions of great use. 

Respectfully, 

Wm. Cary Sanger, 
Col. and Ass't Chief of Artillery, 
Provost Marshal.

* Captain Wiraan H. Smith, A. D. C, fourth brigade, as A. D. C. 

On May 3d, Colonel Joseph G. Story, assistant chief of ord- 
nance, S. N. Y., having reported for duty in compliance with S. 
O., No. 74, c. s., A. G. O., was announced as chief quartermaster 
of the camp. (G. O,, No. 2^.) 

On May 3d, Major Robert L. Banks, Jr., was relieved from duty 
at this camp by S. O., No. 75, c. s., A. G. O. 

On May 4th, Major E. O. Roessele was relieved from duty at 
this camp by S. O., No. 77, c. s., A. G. O. 

Colouel Joseph G. Story, chief quartermaster, was announced as 
chief commissary. S. O,, No. 4. 

On May 17th, Colonel G. .James Greene was appointed colonel 
of the ninth regiment, N. Y. V. I. S. O., No. 90, c. s., A. G. O. 

On May 18th, Major Lauren W. Pettebone, inspector, fourth 
brigade, was detailed as assistant adjutant-general (G. O., No. 9), 
vice Greene, relieved. 

I found that the chief of ordnance had all the tents erected for 
three regiments to arrive; that the water system of the original 
camp had been extended to the north parade ground, where the 
two regiments were to be quartered, and that an extensive addi- 
tion to the mess hall w'as practically completed. 

The regiments ordered to this camp were the eighth, ninth and 
twelfth, N. G., N. Y., and they arrived here in the inverse order 
in which they left New York. 

The ninth was assigned to the old camp; the eighth to the camp 
to the west of the mess hall, and the twelfth to the camp to the 
west of the eighth. 

Wood floors for tents were used in the camp of the ninth, while 
the eighth and the twelfth were so supplied only for officers' tents. 
A liberal supply of straw was furnished and, notwithstanding the 
fact that it rained almost daily for the three weeks the troops wer(> 
quartered here, so successful was the system of drainage in eaiii 
regiment that the men suffered little discomfort from having to 
sleep on the ground, while the very small number of sick, as shown 
on the consolidated morning reports, indicates that officers gave 
careful attention to the sanitary condition of their respective 
camps. 



108 NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

Sinks were dug for the camps of the eighth and twelfth regi- 
ments for the men, while the ofiieers of the three regiments used 
the one erected for their use in the old camp. 

With the ease that has characterized the change of troops in 
the days when this camp was used for instruction purposes, the 
regiments settled themselves in their respective camps and took 
up the routine of duty prescribed in G. O., No. 2, Camp Townsend. 

Considering the large number of recruits with which each 
organization reached camp. and that to this number additions were 
being made daily as the result of the physical examinations in 
progress, I deemed it advisable to confine instruction in drill to 
squad work almost entirely, both in close and in extended order, 
and not until after ten days so spent were company drills per- 
mitted. 

Battalion and regimental drills were entirely omitted, and T 
think that nothing has been lost by so doing, as all but the very 
latest recruits now thoroughly understand the fundamental 
instruction, the school of the soldier, and the more advanced 
work will be quickly learned. 

Particular attention was given to the subject of guard duty. 
Each regiment had its own camp guard and in addition there was 
a headquarters guard for provost and out-post duty under com- 
mand of a field officer. 

No evening parades were held until the arrival of Boring's band. 
May 5th, which the commander-in-chief so thoughtfully sent here, 
when the regiments alternated in holding parade. The work of 
the band was of the most satisfactory character and added much 
to the efforts of the officers to keep the men in good spirits under 
circumstances most trying to those unused to the hardships 
incident to the service. 

Every means was employed to hasten the recruiting of the regi- 
ments. At the beginning recruits were brought from New York 
and examined here, but the percentage of rejections was so large 
that it was seen that this method wonld entail a heavy expense 
upon the state unnecessarily, and a surgeon from each regiment 
was therefore «ent to its armory, where the examinations were 



VOLUNTEP]liS (ARMY)— CAMP TOWNSEND. 103 

made, and the recruits forwarded to camp daily in charge of a 
commissioned officer. 

As soon as a battalion was recruited to its full strength it wa.s 
mustered in the United States service with a major and a battalion 
adjutant. 

The record of the mustering is as follows: 

Twelfth regiment. May 13. 

First battalion, eighth regiment, May 14. 

Second battalion, eighth regiment. May 17, 

Third battalion and field and staff, eighth regiment, May 19. 

First Battalion, ninth regiment, May 17, 

Second battalion, ninth regiment, May 19. 

Third battalion, ninth regiment, May 20. 

Field and staff, ninth regiment. May 21. 

The twelfth regiment's muster was the first completed and in 
compliance with his orders Colonel Leonard immediately made 
requisition on the chief quartermaster, U. S. A., New York city, 
for transportation to Chickamauga, the new station of the regi- 
ment. 

Notice that the regiment would be moved by transport to Jersey 
City, and thence proceed to its destination by Pennsylvania rail- 
road, was received at 9 o'clock on the evening of Monday, May 
16th, and at 10 o'clock the following morning the regiment 
marched from camp and embarked on the steamer " Glen Island " 
w^ith all its stores, camp equipage, etc. 

The muster of the eighth regiment was completed late in the 
afternoon of May 19th, and its marching orders were received 
Saturday evening to move Monday, the 23d instant, at the same 
hour and by the same means. 

The ninth regiment completed its muster Saturd.ay noon and 
broke camp early on the morning of the 24th instant and, after 
passing in review before the commanding general, embarked on 
the transport "Glen Island." Permission was granted by the quar- 
termaster's department to land at foot of West Twenty-second 
street, New York, and thence march to Cortlandt street ferry for 
Jersey City. A sufficient detail was left on board to transfer 



no 2sEW VOiiK IN SPANISH-AMEKICAN WAR. 

stores, etc., from the boat to the train, so that uo time was lost in 
starting as soon as property was loaded. 

As the ninth regiment moved out of camp the artillery detach- 
ment tired a salute; the flags were lowered, and the camp formally 
closed. The commander-in-chief visited the camp with his staff 
on the evening of Wednesday, May 11th. The troops were paraded 
for review by him and a proper salute was fired. He visited the 
camps of the different regiments, mess hall, etc., and expressed 
his satisfaction with the general condition of the camp. 

On May 5th, Major Maus, surgeon. United States army, and 
Doctors Nichols and Jones, examining board of surgeons, com- 
menced the examination of regimental surgeons. 

On May 6th, the regimental surgeons commenced the examina- 
tion of the troops. 

On May 22d, at the evening parade, I had the honor of present- 
ing to Brevet Brigadier-General William Sewaid his commission 
in the presence of his old command. 

1 wish to express my great satisfaction in being so fortunate in 
having General George W. Davis. Major Maus, Captain James 
Parker, Lieutenant Granger Adams and Lieutenant Babcock, 
U. S. A., detailed for duty at this camp. 

Duncan & Co., of Newbiirgh, N. Y., who had the contract to 
feed the troops, performed this duty most satisfactorily. 

Colonel Joseph G. Story and all my staff rendered most valuable 
and efficient service, and I take this opportunity for thanking 
them. 

Copies of all reports and orders were mailed daily to the com- 
manding officer, national guard, and to the adjutant-general. 

Major John H. Ball, was on May 21rii. mustered into the United 
States service as quartermaster of the ninth regiment, N. Y. V. I. 

The commander-in-chief and you made a most thorough and 

careful examination of the camp in all its departments and 

expressed perfect satisfaction with the CQuditions as found in that 

everything possible for the health and comfort of the troops was 

being done. 

Respectfully, 

Peter C. Doyle, 

Brijjadier-General. 



SECOND CALL. 

Mmj 2Sth. 

The secretary of war telegi-aiilicd lo the adjntaiil ^roneral of llic 
state: 

" It is estimated that about 3,998 enlisted men will be recruited 
to till to the maximum the organizations already in service from 
your state. It is desired to know how far you will be able to fur- 
nish the above number." 

To this the adjutant-general replied: 

" The Governor of this state directs me to say that he can fur- 
nish immediately any number of volunteers you require for any 
branch of the service named, and for any purpose desired." 

May 2dth. 

The adjutant-general of the army telegraphed to the Governor: 
"• Under first call for 125.000 men, it was contemplated that the 
number of original organizations called for should have the maxi- 
mum strength stated below; but on account of additional organ- 
izations having to be accepted, this maximum had to be reduced 
to 81 enlisted, men per company. The maximum above contem- 
plated is 106 enlisted men per company of infantry, 100 per troop 
of cavalry, 173 per light battei:y, 200 per heavy battery, 1,326 of 
all grades per regiment of infantry consisting of 3 battalions of 4 
companies each. Secretary of war bids me now say it is the wish 
of the President to apply, in accordance with the law, so much of 
second call for 7.5,000 as may be necessary to till organizations 
already in the service from your state to the maximum just 
stated. The secretary of war bidiS me say that recruiting officers 
wdll be detailed to make and superintend, under army regulations, 
enlistment for this purpose of the number of men wired you May 
27th. Please name one or more competent field, officers of respec- 
tive regiments already in service from your state, to be detailed 
under orders from war department for this duty." 



112 NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

May Zlst. 

The adjiil ant-general of the state sent the following to General 
Corbin, adjutant-general, United States army: 

" Referring to telegrams of 28th and 29th instant, in the first 
you estimate about 3,998 enlisted men will be needed to fill the 
maximum. The maximum of a regiment, as we make it, is 1,280 
enlisted men. For 12 regiments it is 15,3G0, add 2 troops, each 
100, makes total 15,560. Accorddng to muster-in rolls we have 
furnished 11,876 enlisted men. Allow 14 enlisted men who have 
been promoted to commissions, and it would require only about 
3,600 to fill the regiments to the maximum of enlisted men. We 
propose to raise the necessary recruits at the points from which 
the regiments or companies came, and leave the selection of 
recruiting officers to you. We desire to know, further, what else 
is required of the state to fill its quota under the second call, so 
that we can go ahead and accomplish the work. This state can 
comply with any requirement you make upon it at once. We only 
desire full and complete instructions." 

And the following was received from General Corbin: "Your 
message May 29th (2Sth) received. Message from this office of 
May 29th, explains the situation. Thanks for your cordial co- 
operation. An examination of your rolls shows an enlisted 
strength of 11,850, to recruit which to the maximum, would 
require 15,560, the difference being 3,710. Orders are in prepara- 
tion for immediate issue, contemplating the details of recruiting 
parties from each regiment already in the service, consisting of 
one officer, one non-commissioned officer, and one or two privates, 
to proceed under instructions from" the war department to locali- 
ties where regiments were raised for the purpose of accomplishing 
this recruitment. The matter of new organizations from the bal- 
ance of your quota out of the second call, will be taken up in the 
near future and will probably admit of two additional regiments 
and two battalions from your state. Your message of the 31st, 
received. Slight differences in figures are mere details that must 
be determined by tri-monthly returns." 



VOLUNTEERS (ARMY)— SECOND CALL. 11:5 

Jime 1st. 

The following was telegraphed- to the war department bj the 
adjutant-general of the state: "Your telegram 1st instant at 
hand. Governor only waiting for detailed instructions before 
informing you he is ready to provide two regiments and two bat- 
lalions of infantry. Advise as soon as you are ready to send 
ofKcer, non-commissioned officer and one or two privates to the 
home station of each organization. Also how soon you wish these 
men to be prepared for muster. In that way I can facilitate the 
matter. I understand that \o\\ will recjuire 25 additional men to 
each company of infantry now having 81 men." 

Recruiting officers reported in June from time to time, and 
received the blanks sent by the war department and instructions 
so far as the state authorities were permitted to give. 

Instructions were also sent to commanding officers of armories 
permitting the use of the latter as recruiting stations and offices. 

The recruiting officers were advised to recruit first from the 
organizations of the national guard which had not been called 
upon to volunteer, and then from those newly formed. 

According to their reports,, when they had recruited the 
required number of men, they went back to their respective- 
organizations with 3,772 recruits, as follows: 

For troop A 22 

For troop C 20 

For the first regiment 301 

For the second regiment 318

homes. Blanks mailed to adjutant-general of state. You are 
requested to constitute a board of three reputable physicians for 
the purpose only of examining the regimental medical officers 
nominated by you, these physicians to receive ten dollars per

return. The regimental medical officers will then be mustered 
into United States service to assist mustering officer with physi-

under orders from this office." 

June 20//?. 

On inquiry, the adjutant-general of tlie army telegraphed: 
"Companies should have one wagoner; omitted by error." 

June 21st. 

The following telegram was received by the Governor from the 
adjutant-general of the army: "If regiments about to be 
mustered into the service of the United States are organized as 
part of the militia of the state, and three majors are in service 
therewith under the state law when regiments are presented for 
muster into United States service as such, then the third major 
may be mustered into such service."

and equipping troops under second call which contains no instruc- 
tions regarding this matter. 

" C. Whitney Tillixghast, 2d, 

"Adjutant-General." 

To which the following reply was received: " Secretary of war 
has decided that new regiments from your state will be uniformed

regiments, and were notified to meet at the capitol at noon, June 
27tli. 

The adjutant-gencial of the army was informed that: "The 
original plan of this state was to raise one regiment at Buf- 
falo, two battalions at Syracuse and one regiment and one 
battalion at New York, using armories in each place as recruit- 
ing stations. It may be, however, that the United States gov- 
ernment would prefer naming some one place of rendezvous, pos- 
sibly Camp Black, so saving extra expense on transportation of 
supplies; and, if point of rendezvous be designated by the govern- 
ment, will tentage be available? Advise what your wishes are. 

" C. Whitney Tillinghast, 2d, 

"Adjutant-General." 

Major Francis Townsend TJnderhill, first brigade staff, and 
Major William T. Parsons, sixty-fifth regiment, and Mr. Norton

followed: 



VOLUNTEERS (ARMY)— SECOND CALL. 117 

"One regiineiil, to bo known as the Iwo linndred and first regi- 
ment, infantry, N. V. \oliiiiteers, will be recruited at the twelfth 
regiment, N. G., N. Y., armory, in New Y^ork city;

peerui'ted at the N. G., N. Y., armory, in Syracuse. 

" Recruiting officers will be assigned later. 

" II. The first preference will be given to individual members 
of the national guard, although it is the strong wish and desire 
of the commander-in-chief that national guardsmen shall not 
leave the state, but shall remain here to keep intact their respec- 
tiA^e organizations for the very honorable task of home defense. 
The remainder required to complete the quota will be recruited 
from civil life. Further details will be given to the recruiting 
officers. 

" III. Enlisted men, as volunteers from national guard organi 
zations, before leaving their home stations, must be thoroughly 
examined by a medical officer of their respective organizations, 
and commanding officers will permit none to start except such 
as, in the judgment of the surgeon, will pass the physical exami- 
nation of the United States volunteer surgeons. 

" Under these conditions, the commanding officers of their 

respective organizations are authorized to issue to these men 

orders for transportation from their home stations to the nearest 

.recruiting station only; of which orders three copies must be foi- 

warded to these headquarters. 

"After acceptance by the United States surgeons, the men will 
be quartered and -subsisted by the state until mustered into the 
service of the United States, and will be dropped from the 
records of their respective organizations by reason of removal,

commanding officers for transportation will be honored. 

"IV. For the carrying out of paragraph III, commanding offi- 
cers are instructed to place their surgeons on duty and relieve 
them immediately the above mentioned requirements are ful- 
lilled.

States government. This by the direction of the secretary of 
war."

following commissions in one of the three new regiments to be 
organized on the second call: one for major; three for captains; 
three for first lieutenants in the line; three for second lieutenants 
in the line. If practicable, all of the above will be assigned to 
the same regiment. It is expected that the fact of their nomina- 
tion by you will be a guarantee of fitness. Answer promptly by 
wire." 

And the commanding officers of the fourth, tenth, eleventh, six- 
teenth, seventeenth, twenty-third, twenty-seventh, twenty-eighth, 
thirty-ninth and fortieth separate companies as follows: 

" You are invited to nominate to the commander-in chief officers 
or men of your command, as you may think best, to be commis- 
sioned in the new regiments under the second call ; one each for 
captain, first lieutenant and second lieutenant, all for line posi- 
tions. Where practicable they will be assigned to the same regi- 
ment. It is expected that the fact of their nomination by you 
will be a guarantee of fitness. Answer promptly by wire," 

The adjutant-general also communicated with the various trans- 
portation companies which would be used in sending recruits to 
the rendezvous, as follows: '' You are hereby requested to instruct 
the proper employes of your road to honor orders for trausporta-

REPORTS OF INSPECTIONS BY THE 
SURGEON-GENERAL, N. Y. 

To His Exeelleiu-y, Frank S. Black^ Oovcrnor of the <S7(/ft' of New 
York. 

Sir: — I have the honor to submit my report of a tour of inspec- 
tion of the various camps in the south, which included camps 
Alger, Va., Thomas, in Chickamauga, Ga., and Fernaudina, Fla., 
in accordance with instructions received through the adjutant- 
general, immediately upon my return from Porto Rico. I pro- 
ceeded to Washington with no preparations for such a journey 
to ascertain the location of the troops of the state of New York 
enlisted in the volunteer service for the war with Spain. I had no 
specific instructions in reference to my duties other than to ascer- 
tain the condition of the troops, to make such suggestions as I 
thought wise, and to report every hour by wire, if possible, in 
order to convey the best understanding of the condition of the 
men and camps to be visited. 

At the war department I ascertained that the 65th regiment 
was at Dunn Loring, Camp Alger, the 8th, 9th, 12th and 14th 
regiments at Chickamauga, the 69th and 2d provisional regiments 
at Fernaudina. Florida. 

My first visit was to Camp Alger. I called at once upon 
Major A. H. Briggs, surgeon of the 65th regiment. He informed 
me that he was the sanitary inspector of the corps and that 
he and his men were highly gratified over the fact that the 
Governor of New York had sent the surgeon-general of the state 
to inquire into their condition. Major Briggs gave me every 
attention necessary for ascertaining everything pertaining to the 
welfare of the troops. 

The site of the camp was a most excellent one and the soil 
sandy, which made it possible for the construction of excellent

sinks. The entire policing of the camp was the finest I have 
ever seen. I had absolutely no criticism to make. The system 
adopted was a guard being placed at the sinks and a shovel at 
each one so that dirt was constantly applied after the use of the 
sink, which, with the aid of a small quantity of lime, prevented 
the disgusting odors prevalent at such places in the , various 
camps. Usually camps are policed three times a day. This is 
not sufficient for sanitary purposes. This I consider was the 
model camp of the entire army. I am pleased to give the credit 
to the state of New York for it was under the sanitary manage- 
ment of Major A. H. Briggs, of the 65th regiment, U. S. V., that 
this system was established. 

The water supply of the camp was defective for drinking pur- 
poses. It had to be brought a distance of three-quarters of a 
mile to two miles. 

The marked amount of sickness present was mainly due 
to two causes: malarial influence, more particularly preva- 
lent at this season of the year, and typhoid fever, which 
had been brought into camp and which is still developing to some 

extent. 

To ascertain the causes of the disease prevailing, to suggest 
measures of arresting them and to report the result of 
my inspection to Your Excellency in order that you might 
send all of the relief desired seemed to be the summary of my 
duties. 

The vital question at issue, the cause of typhoid fever, has 
been considered as carefully as time would permit. It was my 
privilege to be at the first meeting of the board, suggested by 
Surgeon-General Sternberg, composed of IMajors Shakesi)ere, 
Vaughn and Reed. Major Briggs was the witness on that occa- 
sion. Water, milk, the sources of the same, location of camps, 
and the use of various fruits were considered. Nothing definite 
was arrived at as to the causation of the typhoid fever and diar- 
rhoea so prevalent. 

The division hospital was over crowded, as in most cases, and 
Major Briggs retained soldiers just coming down with fever in 



VOLUNTEKKS (A KAIY)— SURGEON-GEN'LS REPORTS. 1L>5 

(luai'ters for two or three days, giving- tliein tlie proper remedies 
and treatment for diagnostic purposes. In tliat time the fever 
would either disappear or else its continued form would clear 
the diagnosis as to its typhoid character. 

The army regulations do not provid(^ for regimental hospitals 
and, therefore, this method of painstaking diagnosis is ])iohil»ited 
and I have evidence of its being censurable. 

The requisition which I gave to the surgeon-general, in Wash- 
ington, after my visit to this camp (Dunn Loring, Camp Alger), 
was for remedies used in this sort of way. There was manifest 
fear upon the part of some of the surgeons in making requisitioirs 
for some of the equipments necessary for the temporary regimen- 
tal hospital, knowing it was not allow^ed. Many remedies needed 
on this occasion had been ordered for three weeks in succession 
without their being obtained. In asking the question of the sin- 
geon-general why it was that the government did not have a 
supply on hand he seemed vexed, surprised and irritated in 
regard to the matter and desired mv list. Besides the remedies on 
the list, tents were needed. Fearing that they would not be 
forthcoming for the purposes intended I wired Your Excellency 
for them. Surgeon-Geneial Sternberg subsequently wired me, 
after I had sent him a telegram asking him if the order had been 
filled, the following day: 

" Supplies have been ordered. You have no further responsi- 
bility in the matter." 

The red tape feature, so-called, involved in procuring articles 
in such emergencies and the arbitrariness of orders in Wash- 
ington in preventing the surgeon taking charge of the men in 
his regiment temporarily led me to act as I have described. 

The surgeon-general has written me since my return showing 
he has thoroughly investigated my complaints, as he inclosed 
various reports. As I supposed, the men showed fear when the 
list given me was shown and discrepancies exist therefor. Men 
are brave before bullets, but fear the penalty of using their 
brains outside of orders, even though they know such orders are 
against the welfare of the sick soldier. It has been done right

along in many instances and I shall certainly take up the case 
and show up any high official who will dare prosecute any of our 
humane surgeons who have given their personal attention to any 
of the regimental organizations by detention and treatment for 
a few days in regimental hospitals, should it be the j^leasure of 
Your Excellency to allow it to be done. 

I am fully convinced of the good intentions of the surgeon- 
general of the army, and that he wrote out precautions in the 
form of circulars for the prevention of fevers and gave sanitary 
instructions early in the late war. 

After the meeting of the board appointed by Surgeon-General 
Sternberg I requested Major Briggs to show me the previous 
camps occupied by the troops and to show me the source of 
infection if possible. I visited with him Fairfax Manor. The 
house was built one hundred and sixty-three years ago and is 
located, perhaps, at- a distance of fifty feet and at an elevation 
of six feet higher than a box reservoir constructed about two 
feet square, said to be a spring, but judging from the odor con- 
stantly given otf from it, a drain, although the water was com- 
paratively clear. In juxtaposition to this small reservoir was 
one constructed twice its size from which the soldiers obtained 
the water for drinking purposes as they could get no other water, 
when they first located on Camp Alger. 

The sickness in the 65th regiment and in the Vermont regiment 
began in this camp, A chemical analysis later may determine 
the character of this poisonous water. 

It should be stated in defense of Surgeon-General Sternberg 
that he stated to me on the evening of August 20th^ when I saw 
him at his house, that he had not been consulted in reference to 
the location of the camp. 

The Chickamauga Camp. 

On August 22d, I arrived at Chaltauuoga. My first inspection 
was that of the 8th regiment, N. Y. V. They were located in 
that pait of Chickamauga Park known as Hunt's Field. This 
organization belonged to the third brigade, first division, third 



VOLUNTEERS (AKMY)— SURGEON-GEN'LS REPORTS. Vll 

army corps. Lieutenant-Colonel .Jarvis was in cliarge, Colonel 
Chauncey having gone home ill. 

Major Lewis K. Xeflf, surgeon of Ihe regiment, gave me the facts 
wired to Your Excellency at Albany in regard to the needs of 
Ihe regiment, which were corroboiatcd bv Colonel Jarvis. Re 
stated that there were 101 sick in the division hospital, three 
in Sternberg hospital, four in Fort McPherson, one in insane 
asylum, Washington, and three in Leiter hospital; that there 
were also 10-4 in (juarters not able to be received in ho q)itals 
and that he considered about forty per cent, were ill with typhoid 
fever. There had been five deaths since they came to Chickamauga 
Park. To impress me with the sad condition of the regiment 
a special sick call was made before the colonel's tent. I shall 
never forget the scene, as the soldiers came from every street 
slowly, some being assisted, until they formed a double line. I 
certainly did not count them, as too much pain, sorrow and weak- 
ness was presented to my view to allow them to remain any 
length of time. After a hasty examination along the line I had 
them dismissed as rapidly as possible fully convinced of the sad 
condition of the eighth regiment. 

I examined the sinks and found them badly kept. The 
excuse given was that the shovels had been taken away with 
details of men outside of the regiment for work elsewhere and 
that, therefore, they could not keep the sinks in a i)roper 
condition. 

Upon an examination of the tents, it was found that the men 
were sleeping on the ground with only a rubber blanket under 
them. The only cots in the possession of the so'diers were those 
given by the state of New York, now^ used for hospital purposes, 
and those- were about worn out. The hospital tent in us? was 
borrowed from the Anheuser Brewing Company. Major Neflf and 
Colonel Jarvis stated that the tents were not large enough to 
admit of the cots necessary for the men; that they needed 1S2 
wall tents, three hospital tents and 1.250 cots, 75 shovels and 12 
axes, besides the list of remedies wired, w^hich could not be pro- 
cured. It was said that an order had been issued for an out- 



128 NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

march of sixty miles of ten days duration for Wednos-day. As it 
was now Monday, I knew that vigorous action w^ould be necessary 
in order to prevent such an outrage upon these poor sicli and 
forlorn men. I therefore wired Your Excellency requesting that 
what seemed an unnecessary hardship should bo prevented. I 
also saw General Breckenridge in regard to the matter and stated 
tliat if such an out-march were taken it would be a barbarous act 
in view of the number of sick in the eighth regiment and that they 
would be obliged to be left in quarters on account of b'ing unab'e 
to be admitted in the division hospital. The order was rescinded 
before 12 o'clock the following day. 

The water procured by this regiment was from Blre Spring, 
two miles distant. It was said to be good water. Major Neff 
stated that it was his opinion that niuetj-nine out of every one 
hundred wished to go home at once. All of those whom I met 
in this organization seemed grateful to Your Excellency for send- 
ing the surgeon-general of the state of New York to look after 
flieir welfare. The reasons given for their desire to go home 
was the amount of sickness, lack of accommodations and care, 
the overwork and calls upon them for outside service and the 
lack of consideration shown them in their j)itiable condition. 

The Fourteexth Regiment. 

The next call I made was upon Colonel Wilder of the fourteenth 
regiment. Fortunately this regiment had means to purchase 
a distilling apparatus, costing $300 and which produced from 
one thousand to fifteen hundred gallons of water per day, quite 
equal to the demands of a regiment for drinking and cooking 
l)urposcs. 

Colonel Wilder and the assistant surgeon accompanied me 
while I made an inspection of the camp. The sinks were poorly 
policed. In one of them I found a piece of meat, weighing abcut 
fifty pounds, in process of decomposition and covered with flies. 
This was floating in the contents of the sink. When I criticised 
this condition remarking that it furnished an excellent source 
for the propagation of typhoid fever germs a young surgeon 



VOLU^'TEERS (ARMY)— SURGEON-GEX'LS REPORTS. 129 

replied tliat typhoid fever was not spread in that way. On the 
suggestion then being made that flies were excellent carriers of 
poison the discussion ceased. It is difficult to understand, in 
view of the generally w^ell known ability of the fly to commu- 
nicate diseases, why sinks should not be cared for properly. 
When I say " cared for properly " I refer to policing such as was 
carried out only at Camp Alger under the sanitary inspector, 
Major A. H. Briggs of the sixty-fifth New York volunteers. It 
was the constant attention to these sinks, keeping all sorts of ele- 
ments of decay under the cover of earth by use of spades, the 
same being placed at each sink and a guard on duty to see that 
it was done, which made Camp Alger a model in this respect. 

The health , of the fourteenth regiment was exceptionally- 
good as only 82 cases were reported to me, 16 of which were 
of typhoid and those, I was informed, were the product of three 
days of neglect in reference to the use of boiled and distilled 
water. 
« • » ♦ • • • 

If the head of the medical department in the various camps 
depend upon reports entirely instead of visiting places of 
importance to see if his sanitary instructions are fully carried 
out, whether through his subordinates or by circular, it is quite 
possible and fairly probable that there will be broken links in 
the chain by incompetent officers which will interrupt the cur- 
rent of completion which has to do with the welfare and the 
lives of the men. The head medical officer, therefore, may 
receive beautiful reports, satisfactory in every detail, calculated to 
convince him that all sanitary measures have been properly car- 
ried out. The conditions may be as erroneous as the opinion 
held by the colonel in reference to the desire of his men to 
remain in service. 

The Twelfth Regiment. 

The twelfth regiment was next visited and it was found that 
they were just sending home 100 men and had 108 in the hospi- 
tals. They were obtaining water from Blue Spring in barrels, 



130 NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

which was then boiled and filtered for use. They were going soon 
to Lexington, Kentucky. Their camp was found to be in excel- 
lent condition, but the sinks were not taken care of as they 
should be, although much better than some others which were 
seen. 

A few pipes attached to the water mains furnislied baths for 
the men. There was also a.n incinerator built of rock for the 
purpose of disposing of garbage. 

The ninth and twelfth regiments were making many improve- 
ments for the comfort of the men, which reflects great credit 
upon their commanding officers, Colonels Green and Leonard. 

The Ninth Regiment. 

The ninth regiment camp was in excellent condition and betfer 
than others in many respects. They were using 1,500 gallons of 
water brought each day from Blue Lake. This required three 
teams constantly occupied. 

A bath house had been constructed for the men and officers at 
a cost of |360. Money was obtained by each man paying twenty- 
five cents and each officer two dollars. This gave the men forty 
shower baths and the officers six and two tubs. Seventy-five 
thousand feet of lumber had been purchased out of the regimental 
canteen fund for the purpose of flooring the tents. The water 
used in this camp was carefully boiled and filtered. Th; s ' vari- 
ous comforts are the result of the' kindly attention and painstak- 
ing interest of Colonel Green, who ever has under consideration 
the welfare of his men. The sinks I am obliged to state were not 
policed as they should be. 

Chickamauga Creek. 

Chickamauga, or " River of Death," was well named by the 
Indians, for the death-dealing potion of its creek is still more 
contaminated by polluted streams of surface water. It is diffi- 
cult, indeed, to understand in the selection of a camp why the 
question of water should not be considered of the greatest 
importance of all, for it is through it that the germs of typhoid 



VOLUNTEERS (ARMY)— SURGEON-GENLS REPORTS. 131 

fever, that direful disease of camp life, is usually introduced and 
propagated among the soldiers. It is too apparent in looking at 
this water that it is unfit for use; no one should think of using 
it for drinking purposes, or even for preparing food, as the water 
is so impregnated with vegetable matter and the chemical prod- 
ucts of the soil. It is absolutely yellow in color. 

The question most important to be considered, however, aside 
from the disagreeable features of the water itself, is the source 
of its pollution. Chickamauga creek is a stream of water which 
received, until August 8, 1898, surface water from one-half of 
Chickamauga Park at the intake. I was in Camp Chickamauga 
on August 22d, and although this had been a camp for our soldiers 
for a long time, a polluted stream, which emptied into Chicka^ 
mauga creek. Lr.d only just been cut off by a dam of earth hardly 
fifteen feet in width. Strange to say it was scarcely fifty feet 
away from here that the water was pumped into pipes for the 
purpose of supplying the soldiers in the park with water and this 
water was used at the division hospital for various purposes. It 
is true that much of the water was being boiled and filtered. It 
is also true that where the boiled and filtered water was used at 
one of the division hospitals I saw the dishes were being washed 
in polluted water. If flies can communicate disease by their deli- 
cate footsteps alighting on food, surely dishes washed in polluted 
water will be sufficiently contaminated to infect food and, there- 
fore, take away any advantage there might be in drinking pure 
water. 

Much credit is due to Colonel John V. R. Hoff for the complete- 
ness of the Sternberg hospital, of which he is the originator. This 
is the finest and best equipped tent hospital we have in the field. 
Everything was new, the arrangement of the tents systematic, 
a large corps of trained nurses were in attendance, wooden 
pavilions w^ere being erected for additional wards, operating 
rooms and for office work. They have also a large plant for 
distilling and filtering water. In fact, but little, if anything, is 
wanted to make this an ideal camp hospital. 



132 isEW YORK IX SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

Leiter Hospital. 

Leiter liospital is a hospital converted from a summer hotel 
about three and a half miles out from Sternberg hospital. It 
answers the purpose very nicely, having a capacity of about two 
hundred and seventy-five beds. It is under the care of Dr. Carter. 
It is well managed, having electric lights, electric fans and other 
features of the modern hospital. 

Camp Ferxaxdina. 

The location of the Fernandina camp, occupied by the sixty- 
ninth regiment, I consider an excellent one, but warm, of course, 
as one might expect. The water supply is obtained from wells 
700 feet below the surface. It is drawn through rock strata by 
pumping. It is clear, does not decompose rapidly, is impreg- 
nated with free sulphureted hydrogen which disappears, however, 
after a few hours and aeration causes it to disappear more 
rapidly. 

The sixty-ninth regiment had 21 men in the hospital and 15 in 
quarters. Reported on sick list were 77 under treatment. Of the 
total number only 14 were typhoids, malarial 10, dysentery 2, 
diarrhoea 4, other conditions 7. 

The sinks were not properly policed, although the soil was 
favorable to keeping them in excellent sanitary condition. 
Colonel Duffy was very much interested in the method of policing 
described at Camp Alger and assured me he would institute the 
same system. 

The camp is located about a mile and a quarter from a beau- 
tiful beach. One of the methods of caring for the sick was to 
place them in ambulances and drive them along the beach which 
was perfectly smooth and was also quite an extended one, thus 
giving the soldiers the benefit of refreshing sea air. Another 
method for keeping up the spirits of the men and improving 
their health was a march ending up at the beach after which 
the troops broke ranks and then were at liberty for any 
sport or rest. 



VOLUNTEERS (ARMY)— SURGEOX-GENLS REPORTS. 133 

My oflScial duties ending here in the south, I took a train for 
Jacksonville, thinking it necessary to catch a fast train for Wash- 
ington. The few hours I was in Jacksonville, I decided to inspect 
General Lee's camp. Colonel Maus, his chief surgeon, showed me 
the first and second division camps. General Lee had given him 
entire charge of the medical department so that he was able to 
make changes for the betterment of the service. When he found 
men occupying places unfitted for them he had been able to 
arrange the medical service in places adapted for the men. 

I am convinced that the confidence imposed in Colonel Maus, 
the chief surgeon, was not misplaced and that General Lee 
showed an unusual amount of wisdom in placing the medical 
department in the hands of Colonel Maus, holding him responsi- 
ble for the work in question. 

The location of the Jacksonville camp was on a sandy soil, 
among pine trees. Colonel Maus arranged his division hos- 
pital in a unique manner. It was in the form of a wheel, the 
wards representing the spokes, the hub the court and two of the 
spokes the dispensary and the medical officers' tent, from which 
place he had a view, through the different aisles, of the wards of 
his division hospital. The tents were artistically connected, the 
branches of the pine trees forming an arbor or fly. 

There was under process of construction, a number of tents, 
each to contain four patients only, especially for severe typhoid 
eases. The sinks could not be policed owing to certain regula- 
tions in Jacksonville. Tubs were placed within wooden shelters 
and carted away three times a day. Quantities of disinfectants, 
such as carbolic acid and lime were used. Flies in abundance 
massing in these quarters made me feel ill at ease in regard to 
their contaminating influence over the kitchen service. 

The per cent, of sick was very light, however, which might be 
credited to the good fortune of not having previous contamina- 
tion as was the case in many instances. I have only words of 
praise, however, for Colonel Maus for the great amount of pains 
he was taking in ascertaining the condition of the troops and 



134 :SEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

for the watchfulness and interest manifested in his important 
department. 



Recommendations. 

In view of the condition of the troops. and that the stimulant 
of war has been removed, leaving them in service, in most 
instances without heart, but with afi intense desire for home, I 
most respectfully recommend that the same be returned and 
mustered out if possible rather than to send them to any camp. 
All of which is respectfully submitted.

General C. Whitney Tillinghast, 2d, Adjutant-General, S. N. Y. 

Sir: — I have the honor to report the following in regard to 
Camp Black: 

This camp has excellent surface drains and is well taken care 
of by a system of flushing. This is done half an hour after the 
various uses of water in the morning. The drains, in some 
instances, have chloride of lime sprinkled all along them. This 
is an excellent system in addition to flushing as the water is 
received in cesspools or reservoirs in a disinfected condition. A 
second reservoir is dug beyond the first one and the drain 
switched off into it in order to allow the first one to absorb its 
contents through the porous earth. The reservoirs are in sizes 
varying from 38x27 and 24x30 feet. Colonel W. E. Spencer 
instituted this sanitary drain. These cesspools, with relief pro- 
vided, have their sides scaled and chloride of lime again applied 
when the absorbing surface fails to take up the kitchen and 
washing sewage. 

Sinks. 

The sinks need constant policing, as recommended by Major 
Briggs at Camp Alger. They are well disinfected three times a 
day however, but flies are well represented and some provision 



V0LU:NTEEES (ARMY)— SURGEON-GEN'LS reports. 135 

should be made for their exclusion at these places in order to 
prevent contamination of food in the kitchens. A thick solution 
of lime is poured over the sinks each morning. All food is sup- 
posed to be covered in this camp with burlap soaked in a solution 
of salt water. Every 24 hours garbage is taken out of the camp, 
and in some instances it is buried 18 inches below the surface of 
the ground, while in other cases it is burned. 

The Sick on September 7, 1898. 

There were 161 sick in the field hospital and 248 in quarters, 
including 33 with typhoid, all doing well. Mortality: three 
from typhoid since July 14. One from tetanus following vac- 
cination.

No typhoid bacilli were found. Other bacteria to the number 
of 10,000 per c.c. were discovered, probably due to delay in trans- 
mission and the excessive heat.

Want of Medical Supplies. 

Col. W. E. Spencer, surgeon of the 201st regiment, stated that 
lie had made repeated requisitions for phenacetine for more than 
one week, and it was stated by Major Timothy E.Wilcox, in charge 
of the commissary, that it was not in stock. I saw Major Wilcox 
before leaving camp and demanded an explanation for allowing 
Colonel Spencer to leave Camp Black for Camp Mead without 
the remedies he desired, which were listed. He shifted the 
responsibility on the railroad company, stating it took five days 
to get goods from New Y'ork. My advice was to order five days

ahead. I left giving him the impression that he would be 
reported to the surgeon-general, U. S. A. 

It was noticed that some of the surgeons were not supplied 
with field desks by the government in Camp Black. In place of 
them they had taken boxes and constructed some sort of an 
arrangement which really seemed unnecessary in view of the com- 
plete supply of medical and surgical equipment said to be on 
hand by the surgeon-general, U. S. A. 

Camp Wikoff. 

UnoflScially I visited this so-called fine camp. On my way to 
the train I met a four-mule team driven by a colored man. The 
dust was flying in clouds over his wagon with its high board 
sides. He had a load of bread, as one draws wood, uncovered, 
and exposed to the dust. An analysis of this dust would 
be interesting, in view of the effects which various bacilli, 
such as typhoid and tubercular, have on the healthy man or 
soldier. 

There are too many malarial cesspools in this camp and the 
sink system is too imperfect to expect it to be a healthy one. 
The camp should have been drained of cesspools before being 
occupied. 

All of which is respectfully submitted.

PAYMASTER-GENERAL'S REPORT. 

Office of the Paymaster-Gexeral, S. N..Y., 
1654 Broadway, 

New York, December 31, 1898. 
To the Adjutant-General, S. N. T., Albany, N. Y. 

Sir: — I have the honor to submit the following report of the 
operations of this department for the year 1898 to date: 

As no troops were ordered to the camp of instruction, or into 
the field for practice or marches, no payments were necessary 
from the regular national guard appropriation, and as I shall 
have no successor in office, have turned over to you for disposi- 
tion the balance from 1897, amounting to $1,703.88. 

The war with Spain made it necessary, however, to make 
extensive payments to the national guard and volunteers, called 
out by the commander-in-chief, under the provisions of chapter 
181, laws of 1898, during the time they were assembled in camps 
at Peekskill and Hempstead for the purpose of organization and 
muster-in to the United States service. 

On May 15th, this department received your orders to prepare 
to pay all volunteers. A doubt at once arose as to the date from 
which the United States pay of volunteers would commence. If 
from date -of muster-in the state should pay at the rate pre- 
scribed by the code, but if -from the date of enrollment, there 
would be a period during which the soldier would be in receipt of 
pay from two sources, and this would entail a large outlay to be 
recovered when possible from the United States. 

As soon as it appeared that the United States had assumed the 
pay of volunteers from date of enrollment, I advised that it would 
be just to pay the difference only between the full state duty 
pay and the United States rate, and this course was authorized 
bv the commander-in-chief. The amount of the United States 
pay was only authoritatively ascertained from the adjutant-

general, U, S. A., on Jime 1st. being based on tlie law passed by 
Congress, May 26th, and even that enactment was differently con- 
strued by various United States paymasters. 

No proper pay rolls were then in existence, although in some 
of the organizations the work had been commenced, based on 
different principles as different commanders entertained views 

on the subject.

II. The rolls on file in this office, made up in camp, duly signed and sworn to> by the 
commanding officer, comprising both volunteers and non-volunteers, and hereafter to be

The signature of the claimant must agree with that on the preliminary roll, otherwise 
the claim will be rejected. 

IV. The affidavit of claim may be executed before any field officer of claimant's present 
organization or before the commanding officer of a separate company, troop or battery. 
Such officer will forward the claim direct to this office, preserving a record of those

Black and Townsend, whether they volunteered, were rejected or declined to volunteerj 
and the following regulations will continue in force. 

II. The rolls on file in this ofiace, made up in camp, duly signed and sworn to by the

V. When the claims have been duly audited in this office, checks payable to the order 
of each claimant will be sent through the officer forwarding the claim. 

VI. No application for non-volunteer pay will be considered unless made in the form 
above prescribed. 

WARREN M. HEALEY, 

Paymaster-General. 

The rolls reaching the department were irregular, and so 
Incomplete that little use could be made of them. This compelled 
the department to resort to the United States muster rolls, lodged 
at the state capitol, where a large corps of clerks were taken 
and copies made from which final pay rolls were constructed. It 
was, therefore, impossible to prepare rolls upon which the differ- 
ential payments could be made, that is, with safety and justice 
to all concerned^ until after the regiments had left their camps, 
and in most cases the state. 

The work was vigorously pursued with all the clerical help 
obtainable both by detail of enlisted men, and competent civil- 
ians, at one time upwards of forty being so employed. 

From this time the payment proceeded rapidly, the first regi- 
ment being paid on June 13th, and the last June 29th, with the 



■ VOLUNTEEKS (ARMY)— PAYMASTER'S REPORT. 141 

exception of part of the seventy-first regiment, which was paid at 
Montauk Point, August 17, 1898. 

These payments have been made from Boston, Mass., to Tampa, 
Fla.;, necessitating in the volunteers alone nearly 13,000 trans- 
actions, each transaction involving four mathemathical problems. 

The payments to volunteers have aggregated $164,354.92, as 
shown in schedule A. 

General and staff officers, and other troops placed on duty in 
connection with the volunteer camps were paid upon separate 
rolls, aggregating $19,571.41, as shown by schedule B. 

Under your further order, general orders, ;N'o. 13, I took wp 
the payment of men who volunteered but failed to pass the 
surgeon's examination. For this purpose regulations had to be 
devised to prevent fraud, and at the same time to facilitate pay- 
ment of just claims. These regulations were embodied in a cir- 
cular issued with your sanction, under date of July 11th, copy of 
which is attached marked " Exhibit No. 1 ;" also blank affidavit 
combining receipt alluded to in circular, and marked " Exhibit 
No. 2." 

Your subsequent orders embodied in special orders, Xo. 162, 
dated August 16th, extended the scope of payments to those who 
declined to volunteer, or for any reason did not enter the United 
States service, but who had performed duty at Camp Townsend, 
Peekskill, and Camp Black, Hempstead Plains, necessitating the 
issuance of circular No. 2, of August 17th, copy of which is 
attached, marked " Exhibit No. 3," explaining the method of col- 
lecting and disposing of these claims.

VOLUNTEERS (ARMY)— PAYMASTER'S REPORT. 145 

The numerous unforeseen and unprecedented cases which arose 
in these payments required special treatment, and involved the 
devising of entirely new forms and methods to meet the emer- 
gency. Exhibit No. 4, amendatory pay roll, is a form found nec- 
essary in numerous cases of men whose names did not appear on 
any pay roll whatever, yet who upon verbal and other evidence 
seemed justly entitled to pay. Exhibit No. 5, memorandum of 
errors, was necessary in calling attention to irregularities, and in 
rejecting inadmissable claims, many of which were presented, all 
carefully considered. 

Exhibit No. 6, supplemental pay roll, is a summarization of the 
vouchers marked " Exhibit No. 2," and the connecting link 
between those vouchers and the preliminary rolls. 

Total payments to non-volunteers have amounted to |35,625.17, 
as per schedule C. The total number of payments was 2,118^ of 
which 1,359 were to those rejected upon physical examination 
and 759 to those who for other causes did not enter the United 
States service. 

These non-volunteers, having in the meantime scattered over 
the face of the earth, had to be sought from Maine to Manila, from 
Honolulu to Porto Rico, Wyoming to Alabama. Many of these, 
having removed their physical disability, were serving in the field. 
A very extensive and laborious correspondence became necessary, 
with the object in view of carrying out the orders of the Com- 
mander-in-Chief, Governor Black, to pay every just claimant as 
speedily as possible. 

The amounts disbursed for the necessary expenses of the pay 
department^ including pay of clerks, postage, stationery, print- 
ing, telegraphing, travel, expressage, room rent, light, etc., are 
shown in schedule D, the total of which is |3,100.1o. 

The following account summarizes the entire work of the 
department under the volunteer act: 

The paymaster-general charges himself with the following 
amounts paid him by the treasurer of the state upon requi- 
sition to the comptroller: 



146 NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

1. May 17 150,000 00 

2. June 16 150.000 00 

3. September 2 20,000 00 

4. December 22 5,000 00 

1225,000 00 



The paymaster-general claims credit as follows: For disburse- 
ments, vouchers for which have been filed with the comp- 
troller, for the following purposes: 

1. Pay of volunteers in the field, schedule A $164,354 92 

2. Pay of generals and staff officers and other troops 

placed on duty, schedule B * . . 19,571 41 

3. Pay of non-volunteers, schedule 35,625 17 

4. Expenses of pay department, schedule D 3,100 15 

Total disbursements $222,651 65 

Amount turned over to the comptroller, December 
30, 1898, being unexpended balance 2,348 35 

Total of the discharge $225,000 00 

I wonld respectfully call attention to the fact that with the 
close of the present year the pay department ceases to exist, and 
that arrangements will have to be made (1) for the preservation 
of the very valuable records now in my charge, and (2) for the 
settlement of claims, which, in spite of efforts made to clear them 
off, are still outstanding, some being for deceased soldiers whose 
heirs have not yet filed proper letters of administration. 

For the above-mentioned reasons, I think it important that con- 
sideration be given to the establishment of a bureau for continu- 
ing the work of this department, and for the secure preservation 
of the documents representing nearly a quarter of a million of 
dollars, on which must rest the state's claims against the national 
government. 

Kespecfully, 

Warren M. Healey, 

Paymaster-Gtneral.

REPOBT OF COLONEL WM. GARY SANGER, ASSISTANT CHIEF OF 
ARTILLERY ON DUTIES PERFORMED IN PAY DEPARTMENT. 

Headquarters Two Hundred and Third Regiment, N. Y. V. I. 

Second Brigade, Second Army Corps, 

Camp Wetherill, S. C, 'November 23, 1898. 

Brigadier-General Warren M.B.eai.ey, Paymaster-General, S.N.Y., 
1G54 Broadway, New York City. 

Sir: — I have the honor to submit the following report of my 
work as acting assistant in your department: 



VOLUNTEERS (ARMY)— PAYMASTERS REPORT. 153 

On the 14th day of June I received a telegram, of which the 

following is a copy: "By direction of the commander-in-chief 

you will report at headquarters, in Albany, to-morrow morning 

on arrival of the ' Empire State ' from New York. Acknowledge 

■ receipt." 

" TiLLINGHAST, 

" Adjt-GewV 

I at once started for Albany, and reported as directed in Albany 
at the designated time. There I was notified by the Governor 
and by you of my detail to your department, and received from 
you both instructions as to the work I was to do. 

On the morning of June 16th, I reported to you in person at 
your office in New York city and received your final instructions, 
after which I executed a bond for |40,000. Subsequently to this 
I received from you a check for |35,000. 

In compliance with instructions received at Albany I took the 
4.30 train that afternoon, June 16th, for Washington. The fol- 
lowing morning I visited Camp Alger, where I reported to General 
Graham, and visited the camps of the third and sixty-fifth New 
York volunteer infantry, and troops A and C, New Y^ork volun- 
teer cavalry. I was invited by the cavalry officers to make my 
headquarters with them when I might be in camp. I returned to 
Washington that day and deposited the |35,000 at the Riggs 
National Bank. The officers of that bank expressed their desire 
to do everything possible to facilitate the work of the New Y'ork 
state authorities; and they subsequently extended to me every 
possible courtesy and facility for the performance of my work. 

On the 19th day of June the pay rolls for the cavalry arrived. 
Troop A was away on a practice march; troop C was paid at once; 
in compliance with the wishes of the Governor and yourself the 
payments were made in checks, which I was prepared to cash for 
all who wished money. In addition to this, an arrangement was 
made with the Riggs bank for the payment of all my checks 
which might be presented by officers of any of the New Y'ork 
commands. 



154 KEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

On the 22d day of June the pay rolls for the third regiment 
arrived by registered mail at the Riggs bank at 3 o'clock. I 
arrived with them at Camp Alger at 4.30 in the afternoon. Troop 
A, having returned from its practice march, was at once 
paid. I then went to the third regiment and found that they had 
just received orders to start at 6 o'clock the next morning on a 
practice march, to be gone three days. As this would keep them 
out of camp until Saturday, it seemed to be important that they 
should be paid at once; and with the valuable assistance of 
Sergeant-Major Brayton and Private Wardlaw all the checks were 
made out and signed and compared with the pay rolls that night; 
this was done by working uninterruptedly until after 4 o'clock 
in the morning. Reveille was sounded at 4.30, and the checks 
for the different companies were handed to the captains. They 
were notified that the checks would be cashed by any officer in 
Waskington, or that if it were desired I would attend to the 
matter on their return. 

On the afternoon of the 23d day of June the pay rolls for the 
sixty-fifth regiment arrived and before the end of the following 
day they had been paid. In the payment of this regiment I was 
greatly assisted by the valuable services of Captain Christey. I 
spent Saturday in camp adjusting some disputed points in con- 
nection with the pay roll of the sixty-fifth regiment, and I saw 
the officers of the third after their return. Finding that there 
was no necessity for my further presence in camp, and that the 
company officers would have all checks that were not sent home 
cashed, I left the camp Sunday morning, returning to New York 
city that day. Monday I reported in New York city, and Tuesday 
I reported at headquarters in Albany. 

Knowing how desirous the Governor and you both were that 
the 'payment of the troops should be made ae promptly as 
possible, I beg to call your attention to the fact that in every 
instance when the troops were in camp they were paid the day on 
which the pay rolls were received, or, when the pay rolls arrived 
late in the afternoon, they were paid before the end of the 



VOLUNTEERS (ARMY)— PAYMASTER'S REPORT. 



.'JO 



following day. The payment of each organization was thus made 
within the twenty-four hours following the receipt of the pay 
rolls. In addition to paying the men as speedily as possible, every 
effort was made not only to give the men checks or money, as 
they preferred, but also to aid the commanding officers in arrang- 
ing for the men to send home such portion of their pay as they 
wished. Colonel Welch took especial care in arranging for this. 
In this work it has been my privilege to see the carefulness with 
which the work of the pay department of the state is carried on. 

Respectfully, 

Wm. Cart Sanger, 
Lt.-Col. 20Zd Regimmt, N. T. Y. /., 

late Acting Paymaster, S, N. 7.

tion for care of state property?"

FIRST UNITED STATES VOLUNTEER ENGINEERS. 157 

your request for the use of the mess hall, would ask if you have 
arranged with Duncan & Company to cater for your men. This 
is asked because this firm is the owner of part of the kitchen 
utensils, and should be consulted before permission is granted. 
Reply by telegram had better be made. 

" We have no tents we can furnish. It is understood that all 
expense incurred and damage done, if any, is chargeable to the 
United States government," 

Brigadier-General William Barclay Parsons, chief of engineers,

" In reference to the use of the mess hall, I have just wired you 
as follows, which telegram is now confirmed: 

" ' With full authority from War Department have arranged 
with Duncan & Company to cater for men at Camp Townsend. 
Contract will be made to-morrow on return of regimental quarter- 
master from Washington.' " 

To which the adjutant-general of the state replied as follows: 

" In reference to my letter of yesterday's date (15th) regarding 
the use of the state grounds and buildings at Peekskill, by your 
regiment, the G-overnor desires a written communication from you 
to the effect that all expenses incurred by the state and damage 
done to the buildings and grounds be made good by the United 
States, and that said communication be approved by the adjutant- 
general of the United States army." 

June 18th. 

The following letter was this day sent to the chief of ordnance 
of the state:

instant, and that Brigadier-General Parsons, chief of engineers,

all damage done to state property. I have^ therefore, the honor 
to request that you will have everything in proper shape to be 
Iniaied over to Colonel Eugene Grifiin, first regiment, engineers,

Colonel Griffin telegraphed June 17th to the adjutant-general 
of the state, telegram not received until the 18th, as follows : 

" Earnestly request I be allowed to have six of the large double 
tents for so-called ' luxury row ', Camp Townsend." 



FIRST UNITED STATES VOLUNTEER ENGINEERS. 159 

And the following telegram was sent in reply:

The same day Brigadier-General William Barclay Parsons,

volunteers the seventy tents now^ at Camp Townsend. I leave

And Colonel GrifBn of the first United States engineers wrote 
to Adjutant-General Tillinghast: 

" General : — I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of yours 
of June 17th, and thank you most heartily for your very kind 
offer to afford every possible facility to us at this time. 

"• I have telegraphed you to-day asking for the seventy wall 
tents w^hich Colonel Story informs me he has at Camp Townsend. 
As our tents have not arrived, it is very important that we should 
have these, and in any event they will be of great use to us at 
the camp as our supply at best will be very small. The govern- 
ment will only furnish us with 'A' tents, and on the basis of four 
men to a tent, and no special allowance is made for the non- 
commissioned officers or for the staff. 

" Thanking you again for your kindness in everything relating 
to the use of Camp Townsend^ I am, 

" Very respectfully." 

To General Parsons' telegram the following reply was sent by 
telegraph: 



160 NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

" The Governor grants permission for you to use the seventy 
wall tents, under conditions named, until your tentage arrives. 
This will authorize assistant chief of ordnance, S. N. Y., to issue." 

June 28th. 

The adjutant-general of the army addressed the following letter 
dated June 27th^ received this day, to the Governor, who referred 
it to the oflQce of the adjutant-general: 

" I am advised by Colonel Eugene Griffin, first United States 
volunteer engineers, who is organizing a regiment for the volun- 
teer brigade, that you have kindly consented to the use of the 
state camp at Peekskill, N. Y., as a rendezvous for that regiment 
of the engineer brigade, and that, as a slight consideration there- 
for, he ha« promised that all expenses incurred by the state in 
connection with said rendezvous and damage done to the build- 
ings and grounds shall be made good by the United States. 

"I desire, in behalf of the Secretary of War, to confirm this 
agreement, and at the same time to express the thanks of the 
department for the use of the grounds and premises." 

August 5th. 

The first regiment. United States volunteer engineers, left 
Camp Townsend, and 

August Sth 

Brigadier-General William Barclay Parsons, chief of engineers, 
rendered the following report, as to his duties at the camp: 

" Under special orders, No. 113, dated June 15, 1898, section 5, 
I, as chief of engineers, was placed in charge of the state camp- 
ing grounds and buildings at Camp Townsend, Peekskill, N. Y., 
subject to the supervision of the chief of ordnance. 

" I now beg leave to report that, under the authority of the 
above mentioned orders, I took charge of the camp on June 20th, 
when the first detachment of the first United States volunteer 
engineers, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Hodges, went 
to Peekskill. At 4 p. m., on August 5th, the full regiment, under 
command of Colonel Eugene Griffin, United States volunteers. 



FIRST UNITED STATES VOLUNTEER EXGIXEERS. 101 

marched out of camp en-route to Porto Rico, and tlie camp 
was turned back to me by the regimental quartermaster, he 
having accounted satisfactorily for all the property of the state 
entrusted to his care. I thereupon turned over the property to 
Colonel J. G. Story, assistant chief of ordnance, S. N. Y., and 
received from him a receipt for all the property entrusted to me. 

"Before finally leaving the camp, all tents- had been struck, 
rolled up and turned in, tent floors piled and the whole grounds 
neatly policed — in fact, the grounds were turned back to the 
state, if. anything, in better condition than when they were 
received by the regiment. 

" Under the orders appointing me, I acted under the supervision 
of the chief of ordnance. I have therefore made to him a report

Brigadier-General Greely, chief signal officer, U. S. army, tele- 
graphed to the adjutant-general of the state as follows: 

" Major E. B. Ives has been appointed captain, volunteer signal 
corps, and as soon as confirmed will consult with you with refer- 
ence to enlistment of two signal companies from New York. 
There will be no state quota, but I have been desirous of enlist- 
ing New York men together under New York officers as far as 

possible." 

May 27th. 

The adjutant-general of the state telegraphed to General 

Greely: 

" I shall be glad to hear from you and will co-operate in every 

way I can." 

June 24:th. 

First Lieutenant Henry G. Opdyke, U. S. volunteer signal corps, 
reported at this office under orders to recruit for his corps, and 
the commanding officer of the third signal corps was ordered to 
place such quarters in the armory of his corps as Lieutenant 
Opdyke may deem necessary for this purpose at the latter's dis- 
posal. 

June 2Sth. 

Captain Edward B. Ives, U. S. volunteer signal corps, reported 
at these headquarters and presented the following communica- 
tion from himself, addressed to the adjutant-general of the state: 

" Sir: — In regard to the acquirement by the United States of 
certain signal property belonging to the state of New York, I 
have the honor to inform you that I am authorized by the chief 
signal officer of the army to say that, upon the purchase of iden- 
tical articles by the state, the bill for the same will be promptly 



UNITED STATES VOLUNTEER SIGNAL CORPS. 163 

paid upon presentation to the chief signal officer, U. S. A., at 
Washington, D. 0. 

"The bills, when presented, must be accompanied, as vouchers, 
by one of the copies of the receipts given by the United States 
officer to whom the property has been delivered, and must be 
certified to as correct and just by the commissioned purchasing 
officer of the state." 

In accordance with this request the following orders were 
issued: 

" Special orders, No. 122 — III. Commanding officers of signal 
corps' will turn over to Captain Edward B. Ives, U. S. volunteer 
signal corps, or such other officer as may be designated by the 
chief signal officer of the U. S. army, such signal implements as he 
will call for or select, and they will furnish him with invoices of 
the articles they turned over in duplicate, and receive from him 
receipts in quadruplicate, three of which they will forward to 
these headquarters, using the remaining one to account for the 
property on their respective property returns. 

" This property is permitted to be taken by the United States, 
with the express understanding that the chief signal officer of the 
army will reimburse the state the cost of replacing the articles 
taken under this order, when bills therefor will be presented to 
him by the state."

signal corps consisted of:

166 i^^EW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

Private Majestre Leggett, United States volunteer signal corps. 

Private Austin Norris, United States volunteer signal corps. 

Private E. C. Ward, Jr., United States volunteer signal corps. 

Private Leonard R. Winters, United States volunteer signal 
corps. 

As far as can be learned the following ex-members entered, the 
United States service: 

Robt. B. Herbert, Jr., United States volunteer signal corps. 

Seymour B. Brinker, first regiment United States volunteer 
engineers. 

The third signal corps furnished as follows: 

Memhers. 

Corporal Wm. L. Martin, first New York volunteer infantry. 
Corporal William D. Arnold, two hundred and first New York 
volunteer infantry (commissioned). 

The fourth signal corps furnished the following: 

Memhers. 

Frank Thebauld, two hundred and, second New York volunteer 
infantry. 

Leonard S. Spire, two hundred and second New York volunteer 
infantry. 

Ew-Menihers. 

Byron B. Daggett, second lieutenant. United State? volunteer 
signal corps. 

Harry W. Stewart, sergeant, United States volunteer signal 
Corps. 

The services rendered by those who entered the volunteer signal 
corps is testified to by the commendatory order issued by the 
chief signal oflicer of the army. With two or three exceptions all 
of those who entered the volunteer signal corps saw service in the 
West Indies. 

From what I have seen in actual service, the organization of the 
New York state signal corps is almost exactly suited to the ser- 



UNITED STATES VOLUNTEER SIGNAL CORPS. 167 

vice it is liable to be called on to perform. I would recommend 
that while the aggregate of eadh corps remain what it is at pres- 
ent, each should consist of one captain, one first lieutenant, one 
assistant surgeon with rank of first lieutenant, one second lieu- 
tenant, three first-class sergeants, six sergeants, eight corporals, 
and the remaining quota to be privates. That it be provided that 
every member of the corps who shall be a telegraph operator certi- 
fied to as such by the manager of a telegraph or railway company 
shall, when on duty, receive not less than |2.50 per day. That any 
member of the signal corps who shall be an electrician or lineman 
and certified to as such by the manager of an electric light, rail- 
way, telegraph or telephone company, shall, when on duty, receive 
not less than two dollars per day. The reason is that it is diffcult 
to get such men to enlist who while on military duty do the same 
work they are accustomed to do while not on sudh duty and yet in 
the former case get less pay than in the latter. At the same time 
it is absolutely essential to have a certain number of such tech- 
nical men in each company, not less than four each. 

The United States requires that two-thirds be telegrapb opera- 
tors or electricians. This number is not necessary in the national 
guard. 

The instruction in the national guard is entirely suitable to 
attain the best results if carried out according to the regulations 
and code, with one exception. All the members should learn how 
to build and equip telephone lines complete. It requires no 
especial training to learn to do this. They should know how to 
string a line, do rough interior wiring and put in position the 
switch boards and instruments. Each man should be proficient in 
this. The torch as a means of signaling should be abandoned. 
It was never used in actual service. In regard to equipment, the 
present equipment of each corps is about perfect. I would recom- 
mend, however, that each corps be provided with two sets of inter- 
national code flags^ and two international code books so as to be 
able to communicate with the navy. This is very important. 
Each armory in the state should be equipped with a set of Ardois 
system of electric light signals. It is the most rapid means of 



168 KEW YORK IX J^PANISH-AMEEICAN WAR. 

night signaling, and the only method possible when there are 
many lights in the neighborhood tending to confuse the reader. 
This method is also used in the navy. I would recommend that 
one wire cart, a battery wagon, two hundred lance poles and a 
certain amount of line material be kept in store at the state arsenal 
to be used at Camp for Instruction in the construction of military 
telegraph lines. 

The men should be armed only with the pistol. The carbine is 
in the way and not used. The pistol should be cal. 0.45. A small 
caliber has not sufiQcient stopping effect. The saber should be 
retained as a part of the full dress. 

The New York signal corps has always held pre-eminence as a 
scientific military organization in this country, and there is every 
reason to believe that it will continue to do so. It has the proud 
distinction of being so well equipped for war that the United 
States came to it to buy its signal equipment when war broke out. 
This equipment was thoroughly up to date and was used at the 
front and proved satisfactory. 

Under the new code, my ofiQce ceases to exist at the end of the 
year and this will be my last report. I leave the state signal 
service with regret. The work was most congenial to me and my 
heart was in it. 

Although a professional soldier and a graduate of the United 
States Military Academy, I refused a commission in the national 
guard and preferred to enter the state service ae an enlisted man 
in the signal corps. I served as private and sergeant and in due 
time became first lieutenant, then captaiu and finally major and 
chief signal office-. Passing thus through all the grades I felt 
singularly closely bound to the entire organization. I have given 
many years to the work and trust what I have done has resulted 
in permanent benefit to the state forces and to the science of 
signaling. 

Very respectfully, 

Edward B. Ives, 
Major and Chief Signal Officei; S. N. Y.

NAVAL MILITIA IN THE SERVICE OF 
THE UNITED STATES. 

February 24, 1898. 

Hon. Theo. Koosevelt, assistant secretary of the United States 
navy, under date of February 23d, addressed the following to 
this office: 

"The department forwards to you, under a separate cover, 
* general instructions governing the inspection of vessels for the 
auxiliary naval service' and the following blanks: 'form No. 6, 
N. M.,' ' form No. 7, N. M.,' ' form No. 8, N. M.' 

"These instructions and forms will be sent to such divisions 
of the naval militia as, from their location, will be able to collect 
the information desired.'' 

The request contained in the foregoing was carried out and the 
proper oflScers were directed to collect the desired information, 
as far as within their power and means. 

March 2,^th. 

The following telegram, dated March 25th, was received from 
Captain J. W. Miller, commanding naval militia of this state: 

" In answer to a second message from Washington have tele- 
graphed as follows: 'naval militia ready for any duty twelve 
hours' notice. Will you need volunteers to go to Philadelphia to- 
morrow? If 60 will send them. Have repeated your message 
to Albany.' Will you please have Governor volunteer whole force? 
Massachusetts I understand has done so." 

To which answer was made as follows; 



VOLUNTEERS— NAVY. 183 

''March 2Gth. 

"Governor has received no information that the naval reserve is 

to man monitor. Telegraph fully upon what information you base 

request for two officers to go to League Island and what they are 

to do when there. 

" C. Whitney Tillinghast, 2d^ 

"AdjiUant-General." 
Captain Miller replied: 

" Your telegraphic orders relative to reporting information to 
headquarters received and will be obeyed. Would like permis- 
sion to send two officers to League Island to prepare monitors." 

And, 

March 27th. 

"No further information; simply want permission for myself 
or one or two others to go to Washington or Philadelphia if in 
my judgment necessary, so as to prevent hurry at last moment. 
If granted we leave state in unofficial capacity entirely." 

The permission requested was granted this day. 

March 28th. 

The assistant secretary of the navy, under date of the 26th, 
received to-day, addressed this office: 

" Commander Horace Elmer, U. S. navy, has been directed to 
prepare a scheme for utilizing the available resources of our 
Atlantic coast in the formation of a mosquito fleet. His head- 
quarters will be at the navy yard, New York, N. Y. 

" You are requested to forward to Commander Elmer, as soon as 
possible, the names of such vessels belonging to the seaportr? of 
your state as can be most readily fitted out as improvised gun 
vessels, rams, or torpedo boats; also information as to the possi- 
bility of securing the services of the present captains and crews. 
The naval militia organizations have been furnished with blanks 
and full particulars of information desired." 

The following instructions were sent by the adjutant-general to 
the commanding officer of the naval militia: 



184 XEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

" I have the honor to enclose copy of a letter from the assistant 
secretary of the U. S. navy, dated 26th instant, and relating to the 
formation of a mosquito fleet, and to inform you that the Gover- 
nor desires you to communicate with Commander Horace Elmer, 
U. S. navy, and to furnish him with such information as you can 
on the subject of the letter referred to "; and the honorable assist- 
ant secretary of the navy duly informed of the action taken. 

The assistant secretary of the navy sent, under date of March 
26th, received this day, the following communication to this office: 

" It is the intention of the department to assign the monitors 
'Nahant,' Lieutenant C. S. Richmond, U.S. navy, commanding, and 
' Jason,' Lieutenant H. F. Fickbohm, U. S. navy, commanding, for 
duty at New York harbor. These monitors are now at the navy 
yard. League Island, Pennsylvania, and the department requests 
that volunteers of the New York naval militia be detailed for 
duty in connection with bringing these monitors from League 
Island to New York. The department has received assurance from 
Captain J. W. Miller, that the naval militia of New York \nli 
volunteer for this duty. 

*' Inclosed herewith are the complements of the U. S. S. 
'Nahant' and the U. S. S. 'Jason,' prepared by the bureau of navi- 
gation. It consists of nine officers and ninety-five men for each 
vessel. 

"These officers and men are to be selected from the naval 
militia. In case the men are not available for the artificer branch 
and the engine-room force, they may be hired at the rate of pay 
given the same ratings in the navy. This may be necessary in 
case of firemen and coal heavers. The department will make all 
the necessary arrangements for the transportation and subsis- 
tence of these volunteers, and will inform you, by telegraph, when 
it wishes the services of the naval militia. This will probably be 
within the next week. The naval militia should be prepared to 
move on twenty-four hours' notice. 

" You are requested to confer with the Governor of New York, 
with a view to having all details carried out and the department 
kept informed of the progress of the same." 



VOLUKTEERS— NAVY. ' 185 

Pursuant to the foregoing, the following was addressed by the 
adjutant-general to the commanding oflftc£r of the naval militia: 

" I have the honor to enclose copy of letter received from the 
assistant secretary of the navy, dated March 26, 1898, and num- 
bered 149 H. K. 

" The Governor directs that you at once prepare to comply with 
the request of the United States navy department, and carry its 
wishes into effect as soon as you receive further orders from thr S9 
headquarters. The complements of the U. S. S. ' Nahaut ' and 

* Jason ' are enclosed for your guidance. 

" Please telegraph as soon as preparations are completed." 

And the following to the assistant secretary of the navy? 

" I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your communica- 
tion of the 26th instant, No. 149 H. K., relating to the monitors 

* Nahant ' and ' Jason ' and volunteers from the naval militia of 
this state and to inform you that the Governor of this state has 
given his consent that volunteers of the naval militia may be used 
for the purposes indicated in the letter referred to. Captain J. W. 
Miller, commanding naval militia, has accordingly been informed 
and instructed to prepare to carry out your wishes and to carry 
them out upon receiving orders from the Governor to that effect. 
He has further been requested to telegraph as soon as his prepara- 
tions are complete, which information will be transmitted to 
you." 

The commanding officer of the naval militia, under date of 
March 26th^ received to-day, wrote to the adjutant-general's 
office as follows: 

" Referring to my correspondence with you relative to the call 
of the navy department for volunteers, I have the honor to inform 
you that the naval militia is ready to proceed to Philadelphia at 
once for such service. The commanding officers of all organiza- 
tions have reported that every individual in their command is 
anxious to at once enter the service, for any duty, which the state 
or country may call them to perform. 



186 ^'EW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

" 2. I would respectfully ask to have authority to send if neces- 
sary, a small detail to Philadelphia, in order to make preliminary 
arrangements. I would also request that the navy department, 
be requested to send on any information relative to the monitors 
or the duty, which may forward matters in case of a hurry call. 
The following information is suggested: 

" The number, rank and rate of oflflcers, petty ofificers and men

" If, in the judgment of the executive officers, the services of

nection with fitting out, the Governor is requested in like manner 
to authorize them to proceed to League Island and report to the

of department necessary, in connection with fitting out, they will 
also be promptly directed to report for duty at that place."

The following letter of the navy department, dated April 22d, 
received this day was telegraphed to the commanding officer of the 
naval militia for hie compliance therewith: 

" 1. The department has directed that, before entering into ser- 
vice aboard naval vessels, all enlisted men of the naval militia 
shall be discharged from their enlistment in that body and be re- 
enlisted for service in the navy by a naval recruiting oflScer, for a 
period of ' one year, unless sooner discharged.' All officers of the 
naval militia will, before being called into service, receive acting 
appointments as officers of the navy in the grades in which they 
are to serve. On board the monitors which have already been 
commissioned, these provisions will be put into effect immedi- 
ately. 

"2. While enlistments will be made for general service, it is 
to be understood that members of the same naval militia organi- 
zation will always, if practicable, be detailed for service in a body,. 



VOLUNTEERS— NAVY. 191 

and that their organizations will not be broken up, unless the 
exigencies of the service imperatively demand it. 

" 3. It is requested that you will cause this information to be 
made known immediately to the officers and men of the naval 
militia of your state, so that you will take appropriate steps look- 
ing to the discharge of the men prior to their entry into the naval 
service." 

The following orders were also telegraphed to the commanding 
officer of the naval militia: 

" Prepare full complement to go on board ' Yankee/ but wait 
orders which will come between two and three o'clock to-day." 

And 

" Commander-in-chief directs in accordance with request of 
navy department that the complement of officers and crew for the 
* Yankee ' be sent at once to Brooklyn navy yard." 

And to the assistant secretary of the navy, the following infor- 
mation: 

" Commanding officer of the naval militia has been directed to 
send officers and crew for ' Yankee ' to Brooklyn navy yard at 
once." 

The following instructions were sent also to the commanding 
officer of the naval militia (the letter referred to therein was tele- 
graphed earlier in the day to the commanding officer): 

" I have the honor to transmit herewith copy of letter of chief of 
bureau of navigation, dated April 22, 1898, and numbered S. C. 
H. 103132, relating to enlistment of naval militia into the United 
States naval service, for your information and guidance. 

" The commander-in-chief directs that officers entering the 
United States service should tender their resignations, and en- 
listed men should be honorably discharged, or receive a full and 
honorable discharge, if entitled thereto, by reason of entry into 
the service of the United States. 

-' Officers and enlisted men should be required to turn in all 
state and United States property, including uniforms, in tJieir 
])Ossession."

In connection with the foregoing, the following was addressed 
to the assistant secretary of the navy: 

" Sir: — I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of communica- 
tion of bureau of navigation of the 22d instant, No. S. C. H.^

the naval militia, who enlisted for one yearj to be uniformed and 

equipped by the state ?" 

April 2Uh. 

Adjutant-General Tillinghast telegraphed to the assistant 
secretary of the navy as follows: 

" Referring to your directions to discharge oflScers and men of 

the naval militia, who enter the navy for one year, the Grovernor 

proposes, in place thereof, to give them leave of absence for the 

period of such service. The law of this state places the militia, 

on entering the United States service, beyond the control of the 

Governor; this action will, therefore, answer the purpose and be 

more satisfactory to the men than to discharge them. Will this 

be satisfactory ?" 

April 25th. 

The following telegram was received from the navy department, 
in response to that of yesterday: 

" Where naval militia are called into the naval service, it is 
recommend'ed that they be marked as absent with leave for a 
period of one year." 

And at once communicated to the commanding officer of the 
naval militia. 

The following letter of the navy department, dated April 23d, 
was received this day : 

" Sir: — It is requested that you will please furnish the depart- 
ment, as soon as practicable, with a list of officers of the naval 
militia of your state who are to serve on board vessels of the 
U. S. navy in the event of war, and who desire to be commissioned 
acting officers of the U. S. navy, or warranted acting officers of 
the U. S. navy, in order that they may be examined to ascertain 
their qualifications for acting appointments or acting warrants.

" Your attention is invited to the following paragraph from tlu? 
paj'iuaster-geueral of the U , S. navy : 

" That such of the paymasters of the U. S. naval militia as will 
be ordered into service may be prepared to enter upon their duties 
immediately upon being called out, it is recommended tluit they 
be examined and given acting appointments at once and directed 
to file their bonds." 

The commanding officer of the naval militia was instructed 
accordingly and the information desired transmitted to the navy 
department. 

April 2Wi. 

The following telegram was also received this day from the 
commanding officer of the naval militia: 

"Admiral Bunce, commandant navy yard, requests me to mus- 
ter into the U. S. service to-morrow volunteer crew of ' Xahant,' 
heretofore detailed for that vessel. Shall I comply with his 
request?" 

To which, 

April mth, 

reply was sent to comply with the request. 

May 1st. 

The commanding officer of the naval militia was ordered to 
comply with the request of Rear-Admiral Henry Erben, XJ. S. 
navy, in charge of coast defense system, to send details to Willet's 
Point to assist in protecting the mine fields, as the admiral had 
no men for this duty. 

May 2d. 

The commanding officer of the naval militia received the follow- 
ing instructions: 

" Telegram from navy department wants for ' Yankee ' an addi- 
tional complement of eighteen seamen, twelve ordinary seamen 
and twelve landsmen, maldng total of complement two huu-

The following telegram was sent this day by the adjutant- 
general to the assistant secretary of the navy: 

" By direction of the Governor, I have the honor to advise that 
the naval militia of this state, recruited to the full strength 
allowed by law, are assembled in their armories, ready to respond 
to any call." 

To which^ this reply was received by this office: 

May 5tli. 

"Sir: — The department is in receipt of your telegram of May 
4th, stating that the naval militia of the state of New York are 
recruited to full strength and ready for immediate duty. I 
believe we shall shortly be able to make use of them all." 

3Iay 7th. 

The Governor authorized the commanding officer of the naval 
militia to establish a patrol of the low^er bay and Throgg's Neck 
for five days, to take care of the mine fields, and protect incom- 
ing and outgoing commerce, the general government not having 
sufficient vessels in this district. 

May 12th. 

The following was received from the commanding officer of the 
naval militia, dated May 11th: 

''Confirming my telegram of to-day, I have just come from a 
long interview with Captain W. L. Field, U. S. N., Admiral 
Erben's representative, and he informs me that the work of the 
naval militia on patrol duty has been most efficient and thorough. 
He also states that there were four vachts at the navv vard which 
he hopes to get soon; also one or two tugs at Key West which 



VOLFXTEERS— NAVY. 195 

are ordered north to report to Admiral Erbeu, but as yet he only 
had the yacht ' Free Lance/ and she will not be able to leave the 
yard for some days. I have therefore hired the present tugs for 
a second five days in accordance with my option. I do not think 
my expense will be over |S,00(), for the ten days, and perhaps 
less." 

The action of the commanding officer of the naval militia was 
approved by the direction of the Governor. 

The following communication from the bureau of navigation of 
the navy department, dated May 11th, was received at this office: 

" 1. You will be pleased to send to the U. S. monitor ' JasoH,' 
League Island, Pa., her detail of officers and men, as per comple- 
ment as already forwarded to you. Instruct the senior officer of 
the contingent to report to the commandant of the League Island 
navy yard for duty on board the ' Jason,' where the commanding 
officer has been instructed to receive him and enlist the crew and 
forward the names of the officers. 

"2. For this purpose, be pleased to give them one year's leave, 
the time for which they will be enlisted, unless sooner discharged. 

"3. The Pennsylvania railroad agent has been ordered to con- 
fer with you as to transportation, they having the contract from 
New York to League Island; and it is suggested that you have 
your men ready to catch the early train, about 8.13 a. m., 14th 
instant, at Jersey City, which will put the force in League Island 
in time for dinner." 

Instructions were given to comply with the foregoing. 

May 16th. " 
The following telegram was received from Major A. H. Doty, 
health officer of the port of New York: 

^'I am officially informed that the patrol service in the harbor 
now in charge of the New Y'ork naval reserve is to be discon- 
tinued to-morrow at noon for lack of appropriation. This ser- 
vice is extremely important and is needed to prevent danger. 
In addition it is a great aid to the work of this department, and 
to commerce generally. Will it not be possible to continue it?"

Instructions as follows were telegraphed to Captain J. W, 
Miller, commanding the naval militia: 

'" The Goyernor directs that the patrol fleet be continued for 
another five days." 

May ISth. 

The following, dated May 17th, was received from the com- 
manding officer of the naval militia: 

"Confirming my telephone communication with you to-day, I 
have to report that the second five days of the contract 
terminated to-day, and, not hearing from the Governor by noon, I 
called the patrol fleet in^ first asking Commander Field, who is 
the district superintendent under Admiral Erben, if he could 
take care of the mine fields. He informed me that he would have 
three vessels this afternoon for the work, but, on visiting him at 
4 p. m., I found that he had only succeeded in obtaining two 
from the navy yard, with the promise of another to-morrow. I 
then gave him the Governor's compliments, and told him if he 
needed vessels to-morrow that I could probably arrange with the 
Governor to let him have them, provided Admiral Erben expressed 
the wish. He is to give me an answer before 11 a. m, 

"The naval militia is willing to do anything to help the country 
and the state in this crisis, but^ under ordinary circumstances, I 
think you will agree with me that it would not be wise to have 
divided authority afloat on different boats. The naval officers on 
board the improvised yachts doing patrol duty are junior to Lieu- 
tenant-Commander Forshew, and there might be trouble, although 
our officers will use their customary tact. There is a rumor 
going about that a large steamer has just run over the mine fields 
at Sandy Hook. 

"In this connection, I have just visited the police boat 'Patrol,' 
which is lying at Pier A, N. R., ready for service. She is alto- 
gether the best vessel that can be used for harbor or off-shore 
work by the naval militia, being very fast and built of steel, with 



VOLUNTEERS— NAVY. 197 

plenty of room for the men and space on deck for four small guns, 
or two four-inch guns. She has little work to do for the police 
department at present. I urgently recommend that the Governor, 
if consistent, ask the police commissioners to turn her over to the 
naval militia. I think I shall have saved |5,000 out of the |12,- 

000 on the patrol up to the present. This would pay off the 
salaries of the men and the coal on board the Tatrol' for a long 
time. I am also in negotiation for two dynamite guns, which, 
perhaps^ I can obtain, if I had a boat, for nothing. It is most 
essential for me to get the men hardened by preparatory work 
around the harbor, and to instruct them in artillery and mining 
operations in case any stray Spaniard should appear off the port. 
It will be necessary to act quickly in this matter, as the govern- 
ment has made some overtures, I understand, looking towards 
the purchase of the 'Patrol.' Before they could accomplish this 

1 would like to have her in the service of the state, and then, if 
the government wishes her, we can turn her over to the govern- 
ment fully manned and equipped with our own men. Trusting 
that the above will receive your earnest consideration, I remain." 

And the following telegram was sent to the secretary of the 
navy: 

"Governor Black directs me to say that he is ready to man with 
his naval reserve five or six boats and place them under the direc- 
tion of Admiral Erben, or elsewhere, as you may direct, for the 
safety of the harbor of New York. He awaits your reply."

The following letter was addressed to the assistant secretary of

" Sir: — I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your com-

discontinue after five days, during which time I trust that the 
passage of the bill will enable the United States government to

" Hon. Assistant Secretary of the Navy,

The commanding officer of the naval militia wrote as follows, 
under date of May 21st: 

" Referring to your communication of the 20th instant, ordering 
me to man five suitable boats for patrol, I would respectfully state 
that they were ordered and manned at once, but on reporting to 
Admiral Erben, he informed me that they were not needed and 
that he could not accept them, which circumstances were reported 
to you by telegraph and telephone yesterday, and I subsequently 
received orders from you to delay manning them for the present." 

And, under date of Mav 22d, as follows: 

" I have the honor to enclose herewith copy of a letter and list

The commanding officer of the naval militia was informed this 
day " that the commander-in-chief authorizes the detail of ten 
men from the second separate naval division to complete the 
number required to till the vacancies aboard the U. S. S. 
' Yankee,' as requested in yours of the 24:th instant." 

May 21tn. 

The assistant secretary of the navy, under date of May 2oth, 
wrote to the adjutant-general of the state: 

" I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your favor of the 
24th instant, advising this office of the correspondence with 
Admiral Erben of Xew York, with respect to the use of vessels for 
patrol duty. 

" This department desires to extend thanks to jou for your 
courtesy in this matter." 

June 2d. 

Under date of May 26th, the secretary of the navy addressed 
the Governor as follows: 

" Sir: — The consideration of the value to the country at large 
and to the navy in particular, of a naval militia, in case of war 
was based upon the expectation of a body of well-drilled officers 



VOLUXTEEKS— NAVY. 201 

and men capable of being taken into the service when wanted, 
and prepared to endure the regular work of the navy during the 
war, the officers and men being taken together. 

" The exigencies of the present war have demonstrated that in- 
sufficient drill has been given to both officers and men especially 
of the seamen branch, who have not had previous naval training, 
and it is only by making regular enlistments for one year, unless 
sooner discharged, and then selecting such details as seem best 
suited to the wants of the department, that the greatest efficiency 
can be obtained. 

" The recent passage of the auxiliary naval force joint reso- 
lution now gives an opportunity for a more general employment 
of the naval militia and in order to secure the largest number of 
men it is suggested that the adjutants-general of the different 
states be instructed to rendezvous their naval reserves for 
examination and enlistment of such as may be found qualified. 

" The officers and men should be informed that while the 
intention is that their services shall be used as far as practicable 
for necessiary coast defense yet inasmuch as they are men mus- 
tered in, to receive the same rank and pay as those of the regular 
navy, they must be prepared, in case of special emergency, to 
serve wherever the department deems their presence most neces- 
sarv. 

" In order to save the state useless expense, and the men un- 
necessary loss of time, Rear Admiral Erben, 39 \Miitehall street, 
New York city, will be instructed to arrange with the adjutant- 
general as to the time and place for holding examinations and 
making enlistments of those who may volunteer to serve under 
the above mentioned conditions. 

*' Those passing the examinations, physicalh' and profession- 
ally, shall be recommended for appointment to the grades or 
enlisted for the ratings for which they may be found best qualified, 
and when mustered into the service they will be sent to the near- 
est receiving ship or station, from which regular details can be 
drawn as required, which, as far as practicable, will be made up 
of men from the same state and organization. 



202 XEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

" In this manner all the states' naval militia can be utilized, 
and the same opportunities can be offered to all alike. 

" The department herewith encloses the instructions that will 
be issued for making examinations and enlistments." 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ENLISTMENT OF AUXILIARY NAVAL FORCE, 

1. Officers and men must be given one year's leave from the 
state authorities. 

2. At the top of the first and main sheets of the enlistment 
records must be noted, in red ink, " Auxiliary naval force." 

3. The enlistment must be made for " one year's general service, 
unless sooner discharged," which must be endorsed with red ink 
on the first and main sheets of the enlistment records. 

4. On the same sheets must also be noted, " Discharge will be 
granted upon request, provided the exigencies of the service will 
permit." 

5. Officers must be examined for the grades to which they may 
be appointed, for one year if successful, and according to the 
duties they will be expected to perform. 

6. Men will be examined for the ratings which they will be 
expected to hold, and will be enlisted according to article 797, 
paragraphs I and II, navy regulations, 1896. Petty officers will 
then be given acting appointments by their commanding officers. 

7. Officers and men will be examined physically, and slight 
disabilities will be waived, taking into consideration the duties 
to be performed. Age and height limits will also be waived. 

8. All disabilities waived will be entered on the enlistment 
records or attached to appointments. 

The foregoing was communicated to the commanding officer of 
the naval militia, and

" In accordance with the letter of the secretary of the navy to 
the Governor of the state of New York, dated May 26, 1898, I 
have been instructed to arrange with you as to the time and 
place for holding examinations and making enlistments of those 
who may volunteer from the naval militia to serve in the United 
States auxiliary force. 

" The naval militia of the state of New York is organized as a 
brigade, and comprises one chief of brigade (with the grade of 
captain), with a staff; two naval battalions and two separate 
naval divisions, one of which, the tirst, is composed principally 
of professional telegraphers and expert electricians, a total of 
1,017 officers and men. Of this number 418 officers and men have 
already been given leaves of absence to enter the United States 
navy, leaving available for duty 599 men, of whom about 550 
have fxpressed their intention to volunteer, so that this last 
number can be taken as the quota which the New York naval 
militia can supply the auxiliary naval force. If the exigencies of 
the service require, a large number of men who are at present 
awaiting admission to the naval militia, or have 'signified their 
desire to enter the auxiliary naval force, can be enlisted. 

" I would suggest that for the purpose of convenience and to 
save useless expense, and unnecessary loss of time, that the chief 
of brigade and staff, the first naval battalion, and the first separate 
naval division, should rendezvous on board U. S. S. ' New Hamp- 
shire,' foot East Twenty-eighth street. The second naval bat- 
'.ilion at their armory, corner Flatbush avenue and Hanson piace, 
lUooklyn, and the second separate naval division at their armory, 
Charlotte harbor, Rochester. In the case of the second separate 
naval division, this will necessitate the sending of the enlisting 
officer and surgeon to Rochester; but I urge the adoption of the 
plan because it will save the expense of transporting the men 
who may not be accepted. 

'' The letter of the secretary of the navy, already referred to, 
does not make plain as to w^hether the state or navy department 
is expected to incur the subsistence, pay and transportation of 
the men until they are enlisted under the joint resolution. 



204 NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

" If these suggestions meet your views, I will issue the neces- 
sary orders and have the men assembled in twelve hours after 
receipt of notice from you either by telegraph or mail. 

" By analogy to the procedure in the case of men from the 
naval militia enlisted in the United States navy prior to this 
time, I take it for granted that the enlistment will be dated from 
the day of their examination and acceptance, and their pay and 
rations begin from the same date." 

June 6th. 
The following telegram was sent to the secretary of the navy: 
" Our naval militia is impatiently waiting to be mustered in. 
If you can consistently hurry along mustering officers, etc., it 
will be appreciated by the Governor of this state and every mem- 
ber of the sea forces." 

June 7th. 

The following telegram from the chief of staff of the captain 
commanding the naval militia was received: 

'•Admiral Erben informs me that he does not desire any patrol 
tugs, and that his remaining vessels can do the work efficiently 
until more are ready for service." 

And 

June 8th 

The following communication: 

" I have the honor to report that, in compliance with your 
orders by telephone on 7th instant, I called at Admiral Erben's 
office, but did not reach him until some time after by telephone 
as he had gone to the navy yard, Brooklyn. 

" He states that he regards the vessels left in the patrol fleet 
as sufficient to do the work; and that he was opposed to the 
use of tugs manned by the naval militia of the state in connec- 
tion with patrol vessels belonging to the navy. He also stated 
that other vessels were in course of preparation for the service^ 
and, pending their completion, his present vessels were, in his 
opinion, able to protect the mine fields. 

" I telegraphed you immediately after my interview with 
Admiral Erben."

June 10th. 

The assistant secretary of the navy wrote, under date of June 
9th, received this day: 

" Sir: — In reply to your telegram of the 6th instant, I have the 
honor to send you the following copy of a letter from Rear 
Admiral Erben, which explains the apparent delay in the muster- 
ing into the service of the naval militia. 

" I herewith return a telegram from Adjutant-General Tilling- 
hast, addressed, to the secretary of the navy, dated June 6, 1898. 

" In answer to your letter of the 7th instant, I have the honor 
to inform you that an answer from the state of New York to 
the department's circular to the Governors of the states, request- 
ing volunteers for the auxiliary naval force, was received Satur- 
day, June 4th, being the ninth state to report, and three days 
later than most of the states. 

" The board of examination for this district is at work enlisting 
the naval militia in the state of Connecticut, which was the first 
state to report. 

" On Monday, June 6th, I authorized the officers of the New 
York naval militia to report to the New York navy yard for 
examination, and a special board was created to enlist the men. 

" On the same date the adjutant-general of New York was 
instructed to assemble a part of the naval militia for enlistment, 
and in compliance with such instructions the second naval bat- 
talion, consisting of three-fourths of the volunteers of the New 
York naval militia, were assembled at Brooklyn, and are now 
being enlisted into the auxiliary naval force. 

" Everything is being done to hurry this matter up as much as 
possible." 

June 12th. 
The following telegrams were sent this day: 
"Rear Admiral Henry Erben, U. S. N., Army Building, White- 
hall Street, New York City. 
" The Governor of this state instructs me to say that \h<^ U. S.

" The ' New Hampshire ' was ordered to be turned over to Rear

June 2Sd. 

The following was received, dated June 22d, from Rear Admiral 
Henry Erben, U. S. navy, in charge of coast defense system: 

"Sir: — In equipping the naval militiamen for services in the 
auxiliary naval force, rifles, cutlasses, belts, pistols, ammunition 
and equipments other than uniforms, mess gear, hammocks com- 
plete and rubber blankets will not be required." 

July 2d. 
The following telegram was sent to the assistant secretary of 
the navy: 



VOLUNTEERS— NAVY. 207 

" The second separate naval division, N. Y., of Rocliester, volun- 
teers for general service In the United States navy. Do you want

sion, Rochester: 

" The navv recruiting otficer will be at Rochester to-morrow for

in the navy." 

The number of officers and enlisted men of the naval militia 
of the state, who entered the United States service by being 
commissioned or enlisted in the United States navy, was 851, or 
over 80 per cent, of the whole force. Of these the men on the 
"Yankee" were under the fire of the enemy and engaged with 
the latter.

RESUME. 

According to the report of the commanding officer of the naval 
militia of this state, Captain Jacob W. Miller, this organization 
furnished volunteers to the United States navy, to serve one year, 
800 enlisted men. 

The number of officers furnished by this state, as per records 
received from the United States navy department, was 209, 
including officers of the naval militia. 

The total known number of officers and enlisted men furnished 
by this state to the United States navy during the Spanish- 
American war is therefore 1,009. 

However, this does not include the men who enlisted from this 
state into the United States navy directly, not by way of the state 
naval militia, whose number it has been impracticable to obtain. 

It will be noticed, by Captain Miller's report, that the number of 
naval militia officers of this state who entered the United States 
service was fifty-one, or about one-fourth of the total number 
of volunteer officers in the United States navy f rp^m this state ; 
it is deemed fair to apply this proportion to those, not of the 
naval militia, who enlisted as volunteers in the navy directly, 
which would make their number 2,400, and the total number 
of volunteers, officers and enlisted men furnished by this state 
to the United States navy would be 3,400, 



^ ^ 



GENERAL RESUME OF VOLUNTEERS. 

As shown, the number of officers and enlisted men fumishid 
by the state of New York to the United States for the Spanish- 
American war, was: 

Xew York volunteers, army 20.870 

Navy and naval militia (navy estimated) 3,400 

Total 24.270 

Add to this 
United States volunteer officers from this state. . 118 

Men of this state who enlisted in the U. S. volun- 
teer signal corps; U. S. volunteer hospital corps; 
U. S. volunteer engineers; U. S. volunteer cav- 
alry, artillery and infantry, whose numbers can 

be estimated only 2.000 

Men who enlisted in the regular army from this 
state for two years, estimated, and unquestion- 
ably inside actual figures ; 3,7 



^-00 



Or in round numbers a total of at least 30,000 men. 

The total number of deaths in the service, of men credited to 
this state, is recorded as 13 officers and 429 enlisted men. Of 
this number, 11 officers and 425 enlisted men are credited to the 
New York volunteers; 1 officer and 4 enlisted men to the navy 
volunteer officers and the naval militia, and one officer to the 
United States volunteers. 

The number of officers in the New York volunteers was 886, 
and the number of enlisted men, 19,984; total^ 20,870; the number 
of deaths in proportion to the number was: 

(11) officers (886) = 1.24^. 

(425) enlisted men (19,984) = 2.12 7^, or 

(436) of the total of officers and enlisted men (20,870) = 2.09,^^. 

The average length of term of actual service of the New York 
volunteer organizations was about 7 2-5. 



OFFICIAL RECOGNITION OF SERVICE. 

The aovernor of the state of New York issued orders after the 
muster-out of the New York organizations, authorizing each 
national guard and naval militia organization of the state, which 
volunteered for the war, to place on their national colors and in 
their records, to commemorate their war service,

272 NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

August 4th, tlie troop was assigned to duty with Geueial 
Wilson's first division, first army corps lieadquarters. 

August 5th. encamped at Playa Ponce. 

August 6th, brolce camp at .12 a. m., and marched three miles 
to Ponce, and encamped on road to Juana Diaz. 

August 7th, broke camp at 7 p. m., and marched on military 
highway northeast six miles; encamped at 10 p. m., on field on 
north side of road, 

August 8th, broke camp at 7 a. m., and marched six and one-half 
miles on highway, through Juana Diaz, towards Coamo. Halted 
at noon and camped for night beside small stream on north side 
of road, near General Wilson's headquarters. 

August 9th, "■ boots and saddles " was sounded at 5.30 a. m., 
and Captain Clayton, Lieutenant Claus and seventy men left camp 
with all arms prepared for action and marched rapidly towards 
the American front, near Coamo. Here the troop waited about 
thirty minutes during the firing of the artillery at the Spanish 
blockhouse, protecting the highway leading into Coamo. The 
captain then executed a flank movement to the right, and was 
directed to proceed through the woods and thickets; to take the 
baths of Coamo, and cut off retreat of Spaniards by that route. 
On reaching the baths the Spanish had fled. After a hurried 
but thorough search, the troop trotted rapidly into Coamo, then 
in possession of American troops. The troop pushed rapidly 
through the town and started in pursuit of the (Spaniards, 
occasionally dismounting to fight on foot and ascertain if the road 
was flanked by the Spanish rear guard, A number of bridges were 
crossed, all of which the enemy had attempted to destroy, but 
apparently had been forced, to abandon them on account of the 
close pursuit. Eight men had to be left on the road above Coamo 
(m account of exhaustion of horses. The troop advanced up the 
]>ass five miles above Coamo, towards Aibonito. The troop was 
advancing in column of fours with an advance guard well to the 
front, still in pursuit of the Spanish rear guard, when suddenly 
a Spanish battery from a hill on the left opened fire and fired 
eight shells at the troop. The troop was dismounted and line 
formed. The horses were sent to a sheltered spot two hundred 
yards in rear. Sharpshooters wore designated to fire on any of the 
enemy showing themselves. Flankers were sent out and prepara-

tions made to hold llie i)osition a;;aiiisl anv parly (lu' S|)aniard8 
mijiht send out. It was evident from the length of llieir tienclies, 
and the number of them and their two field pieces, which could be 
seen, that they were in force in a strong position, about 1,500 yards 
ahead. The troop remained here watching the enemy, reconnoiter- 
iuj; on both flanks, and about S ]). m., were re-enforced by com- 
])any F, of the third Wisconsin infantry. 

August 10th, details were sent out on scout duty. About 2.30 
p. m., firing was heard further up the road, an attempt being 
made by the enemy to cut off a detail of five men who were sent 
to reconnoiter the path leading to the east. The troop fighting on 
foot and supported by company F, third Wisconsin, advanci d up 
the pass and a skirmish fire was kept up for about two hours, the 
result being that the firing parties from the Spanish entrench- 
ments were driven back to their breastworks, leaving the troop 
and company F occupying the next hill in advance of the outpost. 
The troop's advances were made in good order and advantage 
taken of all cover. No further attempt was made by the Span- 
iards to come out of their trenches. This information was sent 
back to General Wilson by a trooper. 

August 11th, the troop remained encamped at the outpost in 
Aibonito pass mentioned in report of August 10th, the troop's ox 
carts having reached the pass and being quartered about half a 
niile further down the road. Considerable reconnoitering was 
done on both flanks of the enemy's position. At 5 p. m., orders 
were received to return to Coamo and get in shape for the next 
advance. Lieutenant Clans and thirteen men were left on outpost 
to accompany Major Flagler on a scouting party. Captain Clay- 
ton and the troop returned to Coamo and were quartered for the 
night in the grounds of the Hospital of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. 

On the morning of August 12th. a camp was established 
on the bank of Cayon river, opposite division headquarters. 
The same day a detail of thirteen men under Lieutenant Claus 
left outposts at 3 a. m., and accompanied Major Flagler and Lieu- 
tenant Rigers on a scouting expedition. The de'tail nuirched about 
five miles to the east and northeast, and was upon the extreme 
left of the flank of the American forces during tlie firing of the 
American batteries in the Aibonito pass, but was out of range of 
the Si>anish fire. At 3 p. m., the detail went further up to the 



274 NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

left of the military road, passing two abandoned Spanish block 
houses and camping on river bank in pass. The troop returned 
to Coamo camp, August 13th, at 12 m. 

August 12th, at 5 a. m., a detail consisting of Sergeant Debe- 
voise and twentv-four men, under command of Colonel Biddle, 
and accompanied by Captain Breckenridge of General Wilson's 
staff, and Cap^tain Gardner, of the sixteenth Pennsylvania, left 
Coamo camp. The detail proceeded up a trail about three-quar- 
ters of a mile, to the west of the military road, for about three 
miles. A masked battery, manned by about fifty or seventy-five 
Spanish soldiers, fired six volleys of musketry at the detail. In 
the meantime the latter dismounted; horses were led to shelter 
behind a knoll, and the detail under command of Colonel Biddle 
returned the fire. Firing was continued for about half an hour, 
the Spaniards not leaving their trenches. Firing then ceased; 
the detail returned to their horses and took another trail leading 
to Barranqnitas and camped for the night about one and one- 
half miles from Aibonito. Returned to camp, August 13th, at 1 
a. m. 

August 13th, at 5 p. m., troop marched to Coamo baths and 
• encamped for the night. August 14th, at 7 a. m., broke camp and 
returned to former camp on river bank at Coamo, at which point 
the troop established a permanent camp. 

August 14th, Lieutenant Tuttle and ten men under command 
of Major Flagler, accompanied by Captain La Trobe, Siguor Pons 
and a guide, left camp to arrest marauders; explore road and 
passes, and protect the plantation of Signor Pons. August 15th, 
four prisoners were taken near plantation of Signor Pons, but 
were released by Major Flagler, after warning. August 17th. 
reached Barros, and visited the alcalde. Encamped that night one 
mile outside of Barranqnitas. On the morning of August 18th, 
three Spanish ofiicers of civil guard visited the camp and requested 
that the detail not enter the town. Returned to camp near 
Coamo, August 18th, about 1 p. m. 

August 18th, Corporal Armstrong and eight men were detailed 
to go to Juana Diaz. This detail was re-enforced, August 19th, by 
Corporals Norton and Theall and six men. On the 19th, a corporal 
and three men from this detail were sent to Coto, and arrested 
one Figuera, by order of Captain Allison, provost marshal. Three

States service^ November 25th, 1898. 

Extracts from General Wilson's Report. 
"While the third Wisconsin was getting into position, I 
directed Major Flagler to conduct Captain Clayton's troop, which 
was then awaiting orders in the main road to the left of the bat- 
tery, to the extreme right, crossing the Coamo river in rear of 
Colonel Moore's position, and to get possession of the Santa Is^abel 
road. This being done, I ordered him to proceed down the road 
to Los Banos, and drive from that place any of the enemy that 
he might encounter; then to return to protect the right flank of 
the line, and, at the proper moment, to reach the town by the 
main road, or, if found practicable and desirable, to turn the 
town on the east. About the time the cavalry reached the Banos 
road I ordered Captain Anderson's artillery to move to a bald 
ridge about 1,000 yards to hisi front and slightly to his right, 
from which place the town of Coamo was visible at a distance 
of about two miles. At 8 o'clock sharp volleys in the rear 
of the town indicated that Colonel Hulings, with his regiment, 
the sixteenth Pennsylvania, had completed the turning move- 
ment and engaged the enemy. The m«)vement of the mam body 
making the front attack was then hastened as rapidly as pos- 
sible. One battalion of tie second Wisconsin, which had been 



276 NEW YORK IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

formed upon the main road, for the purpose of more rapid move- 
ment, found its advance stopped by a destroyed bridge and im- 
passable gorge, and therefore lost some time in seeking a prac- 
ticable crossing. The blockhouse upon the Banos road had 
been set on fire by the artillery, about fifteen minutes after the 
action began, and the Spaniards occupying it had, a few minuteis 
thereafter, retired toward the town, thus removing all opposition 
to the advance of the third Wisconsin northward along the Banos 
road. The line of advance of the two regiments brought them 
together in the vicinity of the ford by which the Banos road 
crosses the Coamo river, about one and one-half miles south of 
the junction of these two roads. From this point the command 
making the direct attack moved rapidly upon the town, finding 
the entrenchments deserted by the enemy and encountering no 
opposition. These two regiments entered the town about 9.10 
a. m. It was preceded in this movement by Captain Clayton's 
troop, which, having found Los Banos abandoned by a small 
body of Spaniards previously garrisoning it, had returned and 
passed in advance of the infantry right. 

" Captain Clayton's troop (C), accompanied by Major Flagler 
of my staff, moved through the town and closely pursued the 
enemy to prevent them from destroying the bridges. There are 
numerous bridges and culverts on this road spanning deep gorges 
in the mountain sides, and their destruction would have very 
seriously impeded our further advance. In preventing this and 
in pushing our advance to the immediate vicinity of the enemy's 
position at El Penon and Asomante, in front of Aibonito, the 
troop rendered most valuable service. The enemy had made 
incomplete preparations to blow up a number of the bridges, but 
the rapid advance of Captain Clayton's troop prevented their 
success except in one instance. The arch of a single-span bridge 
over a deep ravine was destroyed just before the arrival of the 
troop. This was at a point about four miles from Coamo, and 
the short delay thereby occasioned enabled me to overtake the 
troop, which I desired to use in making a personal reconnoissance 
of the enemy's position. At a point about five and one-half miles 
from Coamo the advance of the troop was stopped by the fire 
of the batteries on El Penon and Asomante hill. I directed it 
to take position here as an outpost until it conld be relieved by

the infantry. The enemy's position for the defense of Ailxjnito, 
;(.> ^vas evident from the inspection of it that ! could 
then malce, and confirmed by reconnoisances during' ilir 
]()th and 11th, was one of unusual natural strcii<iili. 
The nulitary road leading up from Coanio iiins for about 
four niih^s in a direction a little east of north on the 
left bank of the canon of the Coamo river; thence it runs north 
east to Abionito. Upon its left is the main divide of the mountain 
chain croi^sing the island from east to west. Aibonito is sit- 
uated in a pocket in the hills of the northern slope. About two 
and one-half miles northwest of the town, and on the main divide, 
is Asomante hill and El Tenon, constituting a position of great 
natural strength. Upon the summit of El Penon and Asomante 
batteries had been erected, and on the slope below them infantry 
intrenchments, completely sweeping the highway with a plunging 
fire for several miles."

FOURTH BATTERY, LIGHT ARTILLERY. 

In accordance with the second call for troops of the President, 
and the instructions received from the secretary of war, this 
battery was, July 15, 1898, ordered to be recruited in New York 
city. 

Recruiting commenced July 18th, and the battery was organ- 
ized at the armory of the second battery, national guard, New 
York city, where it was mustered into the service of the United 
States, July 27, 1898, and immediately proceeded to Camp Black, 
via Thirty-fourth street ferry and Long Island railroad. Arrived 
at 4 o'clock p. m., and at once reported to the commanding oflflcer. 
Colonel Walter Schuyler. Three officers and one hundred and 
six men were present. 

Having plenty of room, the battery street was made seventy- 
hve feet wide. As soon as the tents were erected a ditch was 
dug around each one and the following day a main trench was 
dug extending back of the inner row of tents, the entire length 
of the camp, and at least two hundred feet out into the plain. 
As the camp ground was perfectly flat, by this system of drainage 
all surface water was taken off at once. The men's kitchen was 
on the prolongation of the inner row of tents and about one 
hundred feet distant. Shower baths were provided for the men. 

Tents were rolled and wood floors washed and raised every 
morning. No stagnant water was allowed to remain anywhere 
in camp. The entire space occupied, as well as fifty feet outside 
of the line of tents, was sprinkled every morning with a mixture 
of carbolic acid and water, care being taken to sprinkle under the 
tent floors when they were raised. 

Strict orders were given not to allow the men to drink any 
water, but from the stand pipe. All the water used was thor- 
oughly boiled. This was done during the night, the kettles being 
covered. All provisions were kept carefully covered. The result 
of all this was that though the main camp was so swept by dis- 
ease, as to require investigation, the camp of the fourth battery 
was declared by the health officer of the port, Dr. Alvah H. Doty, 



FOURTH BATTERY, LIGHT ARTILLERY. 291 

to be a " model of health." There was no serious case of sickness 
in camp. The food received was in the main of excellent quality 
and ample. Care was taken to enlist good cooks and butchers. 
As a result there were no complaints about the quantity or qual- 
ity of the food served to the men. 

Having discovered that troops arriving at Camp Black were 
frequently left without their mess kits for a number of days, 
these were purchased for the entire battery before leaving New 
York. The wisdom of this was readily seen. The fourth battery 
was the first to receive their uniforms. They were generally 
very ill-fitting^ so that three army tailors were engaged to refit 
the entire command. The result was a marked contrast in 
appearance to most of the other troops, which was commented 
upon by the oflScers during one of the reviews. 

Physical drill was held every morning immediately after 
reveille. The system of instruction consisted first in having the 
non-commissioned officers drill small squads under the super- 
vision of chiefs of platoon. Second, in having each chief of sec- 
tion drill Ms section under the supervision of their chiefs of 
platoon. Third, chiefs of platoon drilling their platoons under the 
supervision of the captain of the battery. Fourth, battery drill 
under instruction of captain. After the battery was thoroughly 
drilled, the men were hardened by frequent marches in the 
cadenced step; the formation being column of sections and 
platoons. 

The first marches commenced with about four miles; then ten 
and fifteen, and finally to twenty-eight miles a day. One of the 
longest marches was to Massapequa^ L. I., for the purpose of 
giving the men a swim in salt water. Another march for the 
same purpose was made to Sea Cliff, L. I., where the entire bat- 
tery was given luncheon and free passes to the bathing pavilion 
by the citizens of the place. The officers were dined at the beau- 
tiful country seat of Commodore Sheridan. 

Twelve horses were received and placed on a picket line, estab- 
lished about one hundred yards back of the officers' quarters. 
These horses were sent a week later to Montauk Point. Abso- 
lutely nothing was issued for the care of these horses, except 
hay and oats. 



292 NEW YORK IX SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

On September 14th, the last infantry regiment left the camp,' 
leaving the captain of the fourth battery as commanding officer. 
Pursuant to special orders, No. 60, headquarters, dated Camp 
Black, N. Y., September 12th, the command left Camp Black 
on a special train at 1 p. m., September 15th, via 'Long Island 
City. Arrived in New York at 3.25 p. m., and marched to second 
battery armory, Thirty-third street and Park avenue, arriving 
at 4.25 p. m. The command on September 20th was furlonghed 
for thirty days, and mustered out, October 21, 1898. 

The command had a number of men from the second battery, 
third battery and seventh regiment, N. G. N. Y.; Essex troop, 
N. G., N. J.; battery K, United States army; third, sixth and sev- 
enth United States cavalry, and several from the English and one

about December 5tli. The ten companies of the regiment at 
Waielae were inspected in November by Major Edward Field, 
acting inspector-general, department of California. 

Review and Inspection. 

[Extracts from reports on this inspection.] 

" Ten companies of the first New York volunteer infantry were 
reviewed at their camp on Waielae Beach, in light marching 
order, formed in two battalions. The passage in review was the 
best of any volunteer regiment I have seen since the war began 
and I have seen nearly all the regiments that passed through 
California. Salutes excellent, dress almost perfect, rear ranks 
strictly closed up. 

" Military appearance and bearing very fine, active, clean built, 
well set up for volunteers. 

" The arms and equipments were, considering their age. in 
really wonderful condition. I inspected them quite minutely and 
did not find a poor musket in the ten companies. Many of them 
were faultless and almost all in first-class condition. This of 
course refers to their care. 

" The uniforms were, considering their wear, well cared for 
and generally well-fitting. Belts, brasses and scabbards were in 
the same uniformly smart condition, many of them up to our 
orderly standard. 

Drills, Exercises, Etc. 

" The first New York volunteer infantry was drilled in regi- 
mental, battalion, company drills, bayonet exercise, individual 
drill and extended order. They show the same excellence in drill 
as they did at review and inspection. 

" Their officers are all thoroughly up in their duties. The 
captains can drill the regiment; second lieutenants can drill the 
battalion. I regretted that the limited ground did not give more 
scope for regimental drill in which I imagine this regiment is 
the equal of any volunteer organization that has been raised. 
Battalion and company drills were equally good. 

" The volley firing was excellent. 

Police. 
*' The camp was scrupulously clean and all approaches and 
surroundings thoroughly policed. 



FIEST REGIMENT, INFAXTEY. 339 

Behavior. 
"The behavior and general appearance of officers and men 
during the stay of the inspector at the post was commendable. 

Instruction. 

"This command has been unusually well instructed in drills 
and tactics, probably as well as any volunteer organization in 
the service. 

"All the companies are exceptionally well up in tactics and 
are composed of intelligent and willing men, many of them edu- 
cated and representing an excellent class in the communities 
where they were raised. 

" They would make excellent field soldiers. They are young, 
intelligent, spirited^ pa.triotic, especially well drilled and some 
who have served in the national guard, excellent shots."
