MRRO\YLY \ AVERT A FIGHT
Spanish Gnrrison at Manzamllo Disputes
Entry of Colonel Ray's Troops.
BLOODSHED IS IMMINENT FOR A TIME
Cnmiuniiiler Iliin n Stormy
Interview vrlth Colonel 1'nrroii ,
'mi IlciiinliiH lu
the City.
MANZANILLO , Oct. S. A fight was nar
rowly averted yesterday afternoon between
the Spanish garrison under Colonel Parron
and the United States troops under Colonel
Hay , who have arrived hero from Santiago
to take possession of the city. The arrival
of the Americans had taken the Spanish
commander by surprise and ho had repre
sented to Colonel Hay that he had received
vnrd from General Blanco informing him
that the date for the American occupation
had been postponed to October 10. He re
quested Colonel Hay to cable for additional
Instructions. The latter consented to do so
and sent a dispatch to General Lawton at
Santiago.
At 7 o'clock yesterday morning , Colonel
Ray not having heard trom General Lawton
to the contrary , sent word by Adjutant
General Collins to Colonel Parron that In
accordance with his Instructions ho should
march the men to the city from the dock a
mile away , where the United States trans
port had removed at the request of Colonel
Parron , nnd would take possession of the
public building In the name ot the United
States.
Advance Into the City.
At 8 o'clock the battalion was In motion
with colors flying. Colonel Ray marched
toward the city , but before the troops
reached the city gate Adjutant General Col
lins arrived with Colonel Parron's reply.
The latter said ho had no objection to sur
rendering the custom house at once provided
the American flag was not raised. Colonel
Hay said the United States was not ac
customed to taking possession without dis
playing this Insignia. The march was re
sumed. When the troops passed the guard
at the gate a body of twenty-five the
latter lined up and saluted. The report soon
spread through the city that the Americans
had arrived with colors flying and the streets
wcro soon thronged by apparently the whole
population , men , women and children turn
ing out by thousands as the regiment
marched toward the principal square , where
it halted.
At this point a Spanish bugler sounded
the call to arms nnd the Spanish garrison
turned out to tbo number of BOO men on
the other sldo of the square.
Colonel Ray visited Colonel Parron at the

palace and a somewhat stormy Interview
took place between them , with the aid of an
Interpreter.
The Spanish commander said ho had un
derstood from Colonel Hay that matters were
to remain over until October 10 and that
he considered himself tricked. Colonel Ray
explained that he had never said anything
of that sort , that his Instructions were to
take possession of the city on October 7 ,
that he had cabled for further Instructions ,
nnd , not having received any , that he had
proceeded to act upon his original orders.
Thereupon Colonel Parron said the American
troops must be removed at once. Colonel
Ray refused. Colonel Parron declared he
would ua.e force.
Colonel Ray answered :
Stormy Interview Take * Place.
"If you wish to precipitate further hos
tilities with the United States I am unable
to prevent It , but so far as I am concerned
I have certain orders , which , as a soldier ,
I am bound to carry out. I appreciate the
position In which you find , yourself , but am
unable to help you. If the United States
troops are fired upon I believe the men
who are with me are quite able to take
care of themselves , even though a little
outnumbered , and , although I am opposed tea
a useless waste of life , I shall face the
Issue in any way it suits you. "
Colonel Parron said he would Immediately
order the arrest of the officer who allowed
the American troops to pass the city gate.
Colonel Ray retorted :
"If he had refused I should have been un
der the unpleasant necessity of shooting him
and then forcing an entrance. "
After considerable discussion and many
requests on the part of Colonel Parron that
Colonel Ray should take his men out of the
city until General Blanco could be commu
nicated with , it was decided not to take ac
tion until the cable office had closed at 6
this afternoon , Colonel Ray asserting that
It at that time no further Instructions had
been received ho would take action Imme
diately before nightfall.
In the meantime the United States troops
were to be marched up to the barracks ,
which the Spaniards left last night , on de
parting for Cientuogos , Colonel Ray consent
Ing to encase the colors out of deference to
Colonel Parron's fear that the sight of the
American flag might excite the Spanish ele
ment beyond restraint and so provoke some
overt act leading to bloodshed.
Collision Hetwcvii Troop * .
On leaving the palace the two colonels
walked to the square , where they arrived
Just in time to prevent a collision between
their forces. It appears that some Spanish
officers , who had misunderstood an order
from Colonel Parron , had Just notified the
American troops that they must leave imme
diately. Captain Frost , In command during
Colonel Ray's absence , refused to comply ,
whereupon he was told that the blood ot his
mon would bo upon their own heads.
At this moment Colonel Ray came up and
Captain Frost reported the ocurrence.
Colonel Parron promptly ordered his overzealous -
zealous subordinate away. Then began tha
earch of a mile to the barracks through the
crowded streets , moat of the onlookers being
evidently pro-Spanish , judging from their
scowling looks and uncomplimentary re
marks. The march led around the square.
As the Americans passed the Spanish garrison
risen the latter presented arms. The bar
racks wcro found in a healthful locality and
In good condition.
It was Colonel Ray's firm Intention to take
fiction as soon as the cable closed and It was
evident that the soldiers on both sides were
quite ready to try conclusions , the Spanish
ofncers especially not taking at all kindly to
evacuation.
Hvuountloii Pcmtiioiicil.
But some time before the cable closed
Colonel Ray received a dispatch from Gen
eral Wade , explaining that the commander
of the Spanish troops at Manzanlllo had re
quested a delay until October 10 , and that
the formal evacuation was therefore post
poned ,
The United States troops remained In the
barracks by permission of Colonel Parron.
Considerable alarm was experienced by the
civilians , who understood the call to arms
and its full significance.
Eenorlta Parron , daughter of the SpanUn
commander and a very beautiful girl , was
greatly distressed , and In tears. Her father
is a fine-looking , dignified man of about 50.
So far as duty permits. Colonel Ray will ex
tend every possible courtesy lo Colonel Par-
rou and his officers la the evacuation.

WASHINGTON , Oat. 8. The war Investi
gating commission examined two witnesses
today. They wcro Dr. Glflln , who was In
charge ot the Stornberg hospital at Camp
Thomas , Cblckamauga Park , Go , , and Cap
tain Baldrldge , a brigade commissary ot sub
sistence at Camp Cuba Llbro at Jacksonville.
The commission has practically decided to
start on the night of the 16tb on Us round
of the various camps. They will go either
to Camp Meada or to Jacksonville first.
All the camps will bo visited In succosston ,
but the understanding Is that the trip to
Camp W Ik off will not be made until seine
time In November. Next -neck will bo given
largely to the Inspection of official reports
and to other statements that have been fur
nished In reply to letters from the commis
sion. '
Major Herscy was quoted yesterday as
saying that Mr. Wrenn of the nough Ulders , i
as well as Mr. Tiffany , had died. The statement - ]
mont was an tnadvertanco and was due to
the coupling of the two names and to the
fact that Mr. Wrcnn was 111.
Glflln was a brigade suigcon at Camp
Thomas , and told ot his visit to the Second
division hospital In July last , when , he
said , It was overcrowded. In each tent nnd
under Us flies there were eight or nlno
men whoa there should have been from
four to six. There was a sufficiency ot
physicians , and Major Glflln was sure they
were competent men. The majority of
patients were suffering from typhoid fever
and venereal diseases , atemt 20 per cent
bolng of tbo latter class. He thought the
crowding of the hospital was from lack of
sufficient tentagc , a fault duo to the sur
geon in charge ,
Dr. GlfQn advocated regimental , rather
than division hospitals. The division hos
pital surgeons were competent In their pro.
fesslon , some of them being the most com
petent In the United States , but they were
not men ot executive ability.
Ho considered the water supply gooJ. The
sinks wore poorly located. They were too
near the kitchens and wcro too shal'ow. '
Many of them were only seventy-five f ot
from the company kitchen and wore open
when he arrived. He then had them moved
farther back and gave directions for dally
dlsslnfcctton and covering. By this time ,
however , the regiments were all Infected ,
as ho thought , by the flies going from the
sinks to the mess table.
Hecord of StcrnlicrR Iloipldtl.
Dr. Glflln was given charge of the con
struction of the Sternberg hospital on Au
gust 1 , and after the hospital was con
structed was the chlof surgeon there. He
said the tents comprising this hospital wcro
14x15 feet , floored and supplied with four
beds oach. There were 100 tents and n
number of wooden buildings. Five hundred
and thlrty-threo patients was the largest
number of men at the hospital at one time ,
and all told 1,127 men had bean healed
there up to the Cth Inst. Of these 4 per
cent were typhoid , the next most prolific
case being venereal troubles. There had
been sixty-seven deaths at the 'listltutlon.
The coses sent to him were generally
the most dangerous. He had twenty-five
contract surgeons and two regulars and 1G7
female nurses and 159 members of the hospi
tal corps. He had received no complaints
and he was sure the attendants were
efficient. His requisitions were sent direct
to the surgeon general at Washington by
wire , and there was never any delay , ho
often being directed to purchase at Chat
tanooga , Many articles were sent to the
men from the north , but as a rule they
spoiled before they arrived and could not be
used. When patients began to convalesce
they were put on a special diet for a week
and then furloughed and sent home. He
was particular not to allow any ot the pa
tients to leave for homo until they were suf
ficiently recovered to render It safe for
them to do so.
Ho thought that the contract surgeons
should have been examined before they were
appointed. They were not BO examined to
his knowledge. The doctor expressed the
opinion that the complaints of starvation
had arisen from the fact that It vas neces
sary to put convalescents from typhoid fever
on a sparse diet. He thought many deaths
had been caused by over-feedlns after con
valescents returned to their homes. Orders
were given to his knowledge for prompt
measures looking to the suppression ot the
fever when It broke out , but the orders had
not been obeyed. He knew of cases In which
the sinks were to the last within tiwenty feet
of the kitchens and in the cases ot the
Fourteenth Minnesota and Ninth Pennsyl
vania regiments the sinks were crowded near
the kitchens when there was a quarter of a
mile of open field back of them. He thought
that It had been a mistake to locate so many
mon together as were nt Camp Thomas ,
Captain James C. Baldrldge , commissary
of subsistence for the First brigade of the
Second division of the Seventh army corps ,
nov at Camp Cuba Libre , Jacksonville , oc- i
cupled the commission during the forenoon.
Ho reached the camp Auguat 2 and on
Immediate Inspection of the kitchens found
some of them not well managed. He be-1
lleved that for an army In camp green
coffee was preferable to the roasted , as It ,
was stronger and fresher. The meat he con. i
sldered good and was received on time except - I
cept In one instance. The men were liberally - '
ally supplied with food and the location
of the camp was good. Still there had been
an increase of disease , which be attributed
to the climate and to the assembling of a
large body of men. He also thought de
cayed fruit nnd the canteen beer had had
an influence in producing disease. Much of
hla testimony related to complaints from
the Second New Jersey regiment. He said
there had been many complaints from this
regiment and Investigation bad shown the
trouble was due to the fact that the officers
were without experience.

ATLANTIC CITY , N. J. , Oct. 8. The most
costly block of amusement buildings and
stores on the beach front was destroyed by
flro early this morning within two hours
of the time the flro broke out. Twenty
buildings , occupied by about fifty business
establishments , were burned nnd a half
dozen families wcro rendered homeless. The
loss is estimated at $200,000. For a time
the conflagration threatened to get beyond
the control of the local flro department , and
assistance was asked for from Camden and
Philadelphia. An hour later two steamers
reached here from Camden , but the request
for the engines from Philadelphia was can
celed before they had been placed on the
train. The burned district covers the block
extending from Tennessee to New York
avenues , and from Ocean avenue to the
beach front. In the confines of the block
were located two largo merry-go-rounds ,
valued at $20,000 each , and two of the largest
bric-a-brac emporiums In the city , each
carrying a stock valued at nearly $5,000 , and
the Palace amusement building , recently
erected at a cost of $30,000. Considerable
brlc-brac In the two largo emporiums was
saved , but the carousal buildings , with their
contents , with the exception of the orches
trions , were totally destroyed.
