Surgeon General Sternberg sent the following letter to a New York medical publi cation which had made inquiries of him concerning the conduct uf the war with reference to the medical department, and especially about the subject of having an immediate investigation of ills bureau. He says: "I am ready at any moment for a complete Investigation vlth refer ence to my administration of the af fairs of tlic medical department, but war department is not disposed to make such an lnestigatlon as the re sult of sensational newspaper articles. There 5s at present an evident craze to criticise, without icgard to truth or Justice. I have no doubt there will be a '.oiiuresslonal Investigation Into the conduct of the war, but I dj not feel atllberty at present to insist upon an investigation for my own Vindication, because it is contrary to thcicrarlneeresW,Tjfttiei6ervlc&.r It would be wroug for me to give up all the important otllcial work which at pre ent almost overwhelms me, for the purpose of deyotlng my self to my administration. It would make It necessary to take clerks away from their daily tasks in order to look up the documentary evidence on tile In my olllcc, and in tiie meantime Im portant matters would necessarily be neglected and the sick in all parts of the country would suffer. It would make It necessary to call upon the medical oillcers, who arc now ui gently needed for the care of the sick In our various camps and hospitals, to come to Washington as witnesses, and all this to satisfy the clamor of irrespon sible newspaper reporters. There has been -no oftlclal camplaint with re ference to my administration of the medical department, "With regard to Montauk point, I intend to send at once.

A wide lK vestlgation of suspicious bids under last call for subscriptions to govern ment bonds has been completed by Solicitor O'Connell. of the treasury depait merit, and he lias submitted lq Secretary Gage the massof testimony on the transactions. Several thousand subscribers were examined. The tacts developed show a systematic scheme operated by single parties to secure a large amount of the bonds.

Secretary Gage promptly Instituted the InvesJJ-, tlon,"and Solicitor O'Connell, has af ter submitting Ills report, held a conference for two hours with the secretary on the developments. The reports indicate that millions of dollars in bonds were acquired by irregular means, and that a number of New York bidders are Involved In the case. Many of the bids received from New York are shown to hae been either signed by Individuals who had nodlrect Interest In them, and subscribed their names simply at the request of, or in consideration of compensation by other parties, or the bids Lore signatures that were forgeries. Maiy of the bidders, it Is stated, were hired to sign, and the system was carried so far, the report goes to show, that agents were employed, who were paid so much per subscriber, the lait named merely signing his name and giving the bid, with his signature, to the agent, or directly to the person seeking control of a large amount of bids.

This may result In a refusal to Issue the bonds in all cases found to have beonjllegal. Secretary Gage said tonight that, the invcstigatlons.showcd that a large amount of the bids offered were not bona fide, but that tn none of the cases involved In the Investigation had the bonds been issued to the bidder.
