couth of the main building of the plant
kept every ono at bay for over an hour and

Finally Lieutenant Arthur T. A. Tlbbetta
of Company K , Second regiment , who has a
reputation for good marksmanship , was se >
Ice ted by the marshal to shoot him In such
n manner aa to bring him down without
killing him. Lieutenant Tlbbetts shot
Hammer In the right shoulder with a 32-
caliber rifle , when ho dropped. Ho was
quickly arrested by the marshal and taken

WASHINGTON , Nov. 1. General Bacon ,

to Adjutant General Corblp. After telling
of the battle , ha clones as .follows :
From all obtainable information these

complaints cf the disposition of timber on

were badly whipped and driven from their

they want no more fighting with United
Etates soldiers. They were fount * . arr > . | 'nnt

of that fight prevented the Bear Islanders
from being largely reinforced by lart : nuin-

district that the missionaries are working
beyond their time and strength and that
the work la growing until the school build
ings are so crowded that no moro pupils
can bo accepted. Mrs. J. F. Keen of Phila

that twenty more missionaries are needed

America and Dr. Craven of India spoke
briefly. Tonight Miss Elizabeth Russeir of
Nagasaki presided and songs In Japanese
were sung by Miss Belle Griffiths ot
Yokohama , Miss Mathilda Spencer of Toklo
and Miss Hcaton of Nagasaki. Miss Spen

irumor that when the treaty revision laws
of Japan go Into effect It Is the Intention
to abolish all Christian schools , but she did
not think this can bo done , as religious
liberty is the prldq of the Japanese con

LEXINGTON , Ky. , Nov. 1. Before the
war investigation committee toilny Chief
Commissary Marshall of Camp Hamilton do-
nlod the statements rnado by Lieutenant
Colonel Mitchell of the 1'lrst Territorials
last night. Ho said every requisition had
boon honored from the territorials.
The second witness was General J. C ,
Bates , who testified as to the Santiago cam
paign , the camps at Mobile and at Chlck-
atnauga. Ho went to bee General Urooko
regarding the lack of equipment , clothing
and other supplies. "The day before wo
loft Mobile wo got pretty well supplied ,
These supplies were for recruits. At Santi
ago we had bread and meat always. Mon-
tauk Point was not the proper place for a
camp of sick soldiers at this time of the
year. At Montauk Point I learned that the
Long Island rnllrond company had an ex
clusive contract to haul the soldiers to the
city. I Issued orders to all the other railroads -
roads to como In and help take off the sick.
In Cuba medical supplies worn woefully
short. The medical officers said that they
could not get them. This was especially
true at SIboney. In going over wo had
enough medical supplies , but wo were cut
down. We had trouble In getting ambu
lances taken to Cuba. We got one for each
regiment and one for each squadron. 1
think the ambulances I took were the enl >
ones ashore when the Rough Elders' fight
occurred on the 21th of Juno. "
Points Out a Mistake.
When asked what In his opinion was the
weakness in the medical department Gen
eral Hates said he thought a great mistake
was made In not sending medical officers in
sufficient number with regiments ordered to
the fleld. Additional transportation should
have been furnished for medical officers and
medical supplies , ambulances and horses.
By Dr. Conner"What do you think of
the propriety of allowing female nurses to
accompany an army Into the field ? "
"I think it would be perfectly proper to
have them at large hospitals , but not In
regimental hospitals. "
Replying to a leading question by Dr.
Conner , General Dates eald that with mod
ern arms danger In removing wounded from
the line of flru was greatly Increased ; that
It would be difficult for ambulance men and
litter bearers to live In the Increased zone
of flro. In Cuba It was difficult to get oat
meal and other delicacies for elck.
"I think there Is not sufficient excuse for
medical supplies being short In Cuba , " ho
added. "Bettor preparations could have been
made for transporting. Wo had no way to
shoe horses and mules. 1 have no recom
mendations to suggest as to the Improvement
of War department regulations , nor regard
ing the rations. These matters have been
subject to consideration of boards and able
officers and I do not care to offer an opin
ion. "
General Dates was then excused.
Dr. Edgar A. Mearns , surgeon In charge
Glbbs general hospital at Lexington , was
asked regarding the sanitary condition ot
Camp Thomas , where he was brigadier sur
geon. He read a report on the. condition
of the sites there , which showed they , , were
disease'breeders ' Though1 ttie'rilcn detailed
from the ireglments to the division hospital
were incompetent. Dr. Mearna condemned
the water supply at Camp Thomas because
there was typhoid fever there. The order to
boll drinking wattr was generally observed
when boilers could be procured. Dr. Mearns
was asked what recommendations he would
make. He said men In charge should bo
given what -they asked for , as has been
done here. With competent men In charge
there should bp no waste and nothing would
bo asked for that was not needed.
Hpitnlnltlnit for Lime Dlnretrnrileil.-
Major J. D. Glennan , who was captain
and assistant surgeon In the regular army ,
was made major and brleado surgeon of
volunteers Juno 4 , was called. Major Glen-
nan was at Chlckamauga and Tampa with
the Sixth cavalry. He later returned to
Chlckamauga as brigade- surgeon , First
brigade , Third division ot the First corps.
He said that he found much larger amount
of sickness among volunteers than he had
ben used to seeing , that he found the sinks
loft open and not dug deep enough to make
the camp hcaltful , and that the water sup
ply was affected by this. Major Glennan
said ho reported on these conditions both
orally and In writing and made certain
recommendations , but that no attention was
over paid to his reports. He said ho tried
to get lime , that requisition was made on
the quartermaster's department and It said
It could not furnish It ; that then the requi
sition was made on the medical department
and Dr. Huldekoopcr , the corps surgeon ,
concerning whom sensational charges have
been made since , disapproved Its use at the
tlmo and returned the requisition. Major
Glennan stated that ho knew of certain regi
ments where ihc sick were kept for weeks
because the division hospital had no room

for them. Ho further Bald that ho believed
the water In every well In Chlckamauga
contained colon bacillus , which Indicated
contamination by sewage.
"No niAttcr how many chemical and bac
teriological Cxomlnnt'.oni showed the water
uncontamlnated , I stilt maintain that It was
not fit for use , " declared Major Glcnnan.
Aaked by Ur. Ccnnor whether the ten
dency In the mcdlc.il service of the regular
onny was not to deteriorate from the day
a man went In until his retirement , Major
Glcnnnn snld this bad been his Impression
uutll he saw the volunteer surgeons , when
ho had como to the conclusion that those In
the regular army were as good as those In
the volunteer service.
"I have no doubt , " sold Dr. Connor , "that
the worst In the regular nrmy arc n. great
deal better than some who wcro brought
Into the volunteers. "
Two " \VecUn Without Krrnli Moiit.
Major William Cogswell , surgeon ot the
Eighth Massachusetts , said that when his
regiment reached Chattanooga It was koot
In the frclgh yards eighteen hours and It
took them four hours to bo transported to
the Paik , that the men wont two weeks
without fresh meat , their health was thus
greatly Impaired and a largo number were
taken sick. Major Cogswell attributed the
typhoid to ths water , milk and lemonade
drank by the men. He said that the clothing
and blankets belonging to men who died of
typhoid wcro brought back without having
been washed or b'olled ami used by other
nicn of the regiment. Ho mentioned other
abuses too degraded to write , which he said
were reported to the higher authorities ,
without action being taken.
The doctor said that for three months and
a half when ho was at Camp Thomas he
knew ot Dr. Hutdckooper , the corps sur
geon , having visited the camp of the Eighth
MasBachusoHs but twice. Ho bad great dif
ficulty In securing medicines , he said , and
had to buy drugs out of a private fund. The
list of medlclnca which ho made requisition
for always had about half of the most Im
portant drugs scratched off by higher au
thorities. Ho told of the "red tapo" which
required a requisition for medicines to go
through a dozen channels and then back
before the supplier could be secured.
Captain George D. Duncan of the regular
army , who recently served ns adjutant general -
oral of the dfstrlct of Ponce , Porto Rico ,
testified before the commission. He stated
that ho was wholly conversant with the con
ditions connected with the sailing of the
transport Obdara and that Dr. Seaman , who
returned In charge of that vessel , had pos
itive orders not to take any man on board
who was not entirely convalescent.
Dr. Thomas C. Chalmers , captain and as
sistant surgeon of the Twelfth New York ,
who saw six weeks' service In Porto Rico ,
testified that at Chlckamauga his regiment
could not only not get medicines but could
not even get blanks to make requisitions
for them.
In regard to the 'transport Massachusetts ,
on which ho went to Porto Rico , Dr. Chal
mers said :
loc Water , fl.3.t n Pitcher.
"There was no regular cooking on board
and the men were unused to eating cold ra
tions. The reserve hospital men were sup.
posed to have been well men , but subse
quent events proved that they did not havt ?
enough to eat. Th6" men never could get
enough water to satisfy their thirst. Ice
water was sold at $1.25 a pitcher. The mat
ter was reported , but the custom was not
stopped. The mules and horses on board
went for twenty-four hours at one tlmo
without water. "
Lieutenant Colonel Charles Parker ,
Twelfth New Yoxlr , said that when the
troops arrived ot fhtckamauga the men ha'l
to sleep on the ftet ground , , with only one
blanket and no 'c-'of' Sftif.fclothlpg. . He said
that tli Flf i4ipJ''oc - > , vJiii t iJhl-
not" fecclve tholt Vjfles' for a month after
their arrival at the park , the men being
compelled to do guard duty without guns.
The Tw'enty-flrst Kansas also had to do
guard duty for two weeks with sticks.
"When the volunteers first arrived at
Chlckamauga , " eald Colonel Parker , "their
tongues were literally hanging out for
water. For three weeks they could not
get water enough to quench their thirst.
Then the pipe lints were laid , but the water
the men got was not pure. In my opinion.
There wcro wells left at the park as land
marks , which contained water that was bad
for them to drink. The usual precautions
that are- taken with troops In camp wore
taken there. I have spent six years of my
life In tents , having been a captain In the
Fourth cavah-y , and I think any regular
army officer will agree with mo that the
camp was established on the proper plans. "
Genera ? Dreekenrldge , when he took com
mand , did more to change for the better
the sanitary conditions than had been ac
complished altogether before. He had lum
ber , which had before been applied for In
vain , furnished the hospitals. He provided
llrao In great abundance , he had new
tcntago supplied and ho gave medicines
when needed.
SurKcous Worked to Death.
Upon my Inspections I found the hos
pitals of the First division. Third corps ; ot
the Third division , First corps , and ot the
Second division , Third corps , very dirty.
The first was placed alongside a dump heap.
The dirt In most cases , however , was due
to the overcrowded condition ot the hos
pitals. The surgeons were worked to death
and too sick themselves to rook after the
cleanllnefca properly. So far as I know ,
neither General Drooko nor General Wade
over made a sanitary Inspection of the
camp. I think there was disinclination
on the part ot the government to purchase
lime. It could have been secured easily , or
oven burned by the troops. The quarter
master's department might have accom
plished much during this war that It did
not seem Inclined to. It would have been
just as easy to establish at Chlokauiauga
the Ideal conditions that prevail hero at
Camp Hamilton at the cost ot not more
than $1 per man.
Mliht Session.
The night session began at S o'clock ,
Lieutenant Frank Strange , quartermaster of
the Third Kentucky , toeing the first witness
called. Ho was at Chlckamauga park from
June 1 until July 17 , when he took sick and
left. Ho testified that-while at Chlckamauga j
his regiment was bady | equipped. Ills regi
ment was unableto procure quartermaiter's
supplies , consisting of clothing , tentage , etc. ,
because the supplies were on hand only
In small quantities. They had so many
regiments to equip -that 'When they had sup
plies on hand they were distributed among
all the regiments. Often the quartermaster
did not have equipment from a lack of
knowledge as to what was required. Then
when the regimental quartermasters went to
the depot , they were made to wait for sev
eral hours ,
Next were called seven non-commlssloned
officers and privates , who stated generally
that the rations and c'othlng furnished wcro
pood. The witness , Ryan , frcm whom Dr.
Connor expected to obtain valuable testl-
many , was former private In the Third corps
signal service , who was slk In * ho First
division hospital at Chlckamauga. He hal
sent written -statements ot a serious nature
to the board but was unable to substantiate ,
but few. He stated that the surgeons were
guilty of criminal neglect by not seeing that
the orders they Issued wcro obeyed , that 'the
medicines prescribed were not adminis
tered ; that en the day of Genera ) Dreckln >
ridge's review no surgeons visited the host
pllala when men were dying from want ° f
attention ; that the water was bad ; that on
frequent occasions meaU wore Mten when
bail pans were sitting In the p-onu , renderIng -
Ing Ihe air foul ; that the sink * were In bad
orJcr and that on one occasion a man was
almost drowned la one.

WAITING ON THE ACTION OF CONGRESS
I'rrnlitrnt nml .Military Men Now < ! ! > -
ICuriifnt Attention to the Hc-
Kitnlrnf Ion of tlie Anil )
Size \ot Uten Determined.
WASHINGTON' , Nov. 1. The request of
the FlMtt Colorado Infantry to bo returned
to the fitted States cannot be granted by
the War deportment. It was stated by
oincers of the army today that such re
quests had been frequent from noldlcrs of
\oluntoer organizations who enlisted to
fight , but did not enlist for garrison duty.
Thp tlealro of this regiment to return homo
was simply the dcslrp of other volunteers
and nothing could be done , the officer said ,
until congress met and provided some kind
ot a force to take the place of the Toltm-
teers. The subject of reorganizing the
army with a view to securing an adequate
force for the new possessions of the United
States has already received the serious con
sideration of the president , the secretary of
war and the officers of the army. The presi
dent wlM make recommendations to con
gress on this subject embodying his views
and the views of these who are In n peti
tion to give him the very best advice. It
I.i probable that ho will recommend an In
crease of the army to something like 100-
000 men , although this Is not certain , and
ho may think that 75,000 Is enough.
Thcro has been florne talk also of enlist
ing for garrison duty two companies or a
battalion of natives to each regiment doing
garrison duty in Cuba , Porto Rico and the
Philippines. It Is believed that by this
method a considerable portion of the rest-
hew population of the Islands , and especially
those who have been bearing arms In the
Insurgent or Spanish armies , could be kept
quiet and law-abiding. It Is stated by
offlcors of the army that the duties devolv
ing upon the troope under the now order
of things cannot bo satisfactory to volun
teers and that an army will have to be
provided which will go where It Is sent
without complaints of any kind. Men who
ehUet In the regular army hereafter will
understand that they are likely to be
called upon to go out of the country and
to garrison distant lands for rang periods.
It Is believed that the demands which have
been made upon senators and representa
tives for the muster out of volunteer regi
ments and the discharge of volunteers In
refitments which have remained In the
service have been so great that they will
be convinced that a regular army for garrison
risen duty In the new possessions Is an
absolute necessity.

order In reference to the bill to create an
eight-hour day for all government work
whether done by ( ho government direct or
by contract , In which he says :
During the last session of congress our
eight-hour bill ( H. R. 7359) ) passed the
house of representatives. Owing to the op-
poDlilon of some senators , it did not pass
the senate.
It Is unnecessary at this time to enter Into
an argument 'In fnior of the eight-hour dily
rrtcAl.V.VfPtnbUnlnncut by law. for all gov-i
ornracnt workP whether oerrornied direct or
by contract , but ono statement made by
an Interested opponent will suffice to con
vince all that it will not destroy nor Injure
or be an obstacle in the ceneial Industries ,
nor the development of our Increasing ship
building.
Mr. Cramo of the Cramp ship yards , be
fore the senate committee on cduca'ion and
labor , admitted that notwithstanding that
the workmen In the shlo yards of France
worked eleven and twehe hours ccr day and
the workmen In the shin vaids of the United
Stales elcht or ten. that while French ship
builders offered to build Prussian war ships
In five years , Mr. Cramp's company agreed
to build the vessels In thirty months. Not
withstanding wages are higher In the United
States than In France , the French ship
builders wanted more money to build the
Russian war vessels than the Cramp com
pany had contracted to deliver them for.
The executive council of the American
Federation of Labor at the meeting held
here October 24-25 Instructed the under
signed to request jou , nnd I do so request
you now. to associate with yourself any
committee of union men for the purpose of
walling upon senators for the purpose r > f
securing a promise from them that they will
favor our debt-hour bill at the coining ses
sion of concress in December. If necessary ,
wo should bo pleased lo have you appoint
committees to wait on either or both of
these Ecnators to obtain like results. We
have no partisan Interest to further or to
punish : our movement , our cause and our
Interests are committed and largely Involved
in the clcht-hour law and the eight-hour
movement ; we propose to oppose tbose who
are antagonistic to the lawful and peaceful
methods and measures of our organized fel
low workers.
Bv the cordial and prompt co-operation of
all there can be no doubt but we shall re
move opposition to our bill.
