However, in June 1895, a circular was issued by the Naval Department to the surgeons in charge of Ships and Naval Barracks asking for detailed replies to a carefully elaborated set of questions as to wounds, diseases and general sanitary conditions during the war. In addition to the replies thus obtained from our surgeons we have used the following documents in the compilation of this book.
