Excerpt from Report of the Commission Appointed by the President to Investigate the Conduct of the War Department in the War With Spain, Vol. 4 of 8 Maj. H. S. T. Harris then appeared before the commission, and the president thereof read to him the instructions received by the commission from the President of the United States, indicating the scope of the investigation. He was then asked if he had any objections to being sworn, and replied that he had not. He was thereupon duly sworn by the recorder of the commission. By Dr. Conner: Q. Please give us your name, rank, and length of time in the service. A. H. S. T. Harris; major of volunteers, captain and assistant surgeon in the Regular Army. I have been in the service since the 5th of January, 1886. My volunteer commission is from the 3d of June, this year. Q. Have you been on duty since the 15th of April last? A. I was post surgeon at Fort Laramie, Wyo., and left there with two troops of the Ninth Cavalry; embarked from Tampa for Cuba; disembarked at Siboney on the night of the 23d, and became chief surgeon of the cavalry division by seniority on the 24th of July, and served there in Cuba with the headquarters of the cavalry division until the 7th of August; reached Montauk on the 17th; remained there until the 1st or 2d of October. I arrived there with the cavalry division hospital on the 7th, and am here now, sir. Q. During the time that you were at Tampa, did you or did you not regard the place as a proper site for a camp? A. You mean independent of military necessity? Q. From a medical standpoint, for any large numbers. A. The camp at Port Tampa on the sea beach was very fair. It had objections, but I knew that in time it would be bad; we were informed that it would be; we left before there was any disease, and the camp was uniformly healthy during the time we were there. Q. Were you able to obtain such medical supplies as you needed upon requisition? A. Yes, sir; I had to ask for very little. Q. But what you asked for you got? A. Yes, sir. Q. How long, generally? A. Oh, within a few days. I generally went up to the medical-supply depot and asked for it and I got it. Q. You did not depend upon outside societies for the hospital supplies? A. No, sir. Q. Milk or anything? A. No, sir. I turned my sick into the division hospital. Q. That was under the care of whom? A. Major La Garde.
