GENERAL SHAFIER EXPLAINS
Was Misquoted in His Recent Mich
igan Speech.
VOLUNTEERS BEFORE SANTIAGO
They Hail Not Heen Intended for Active
Fighting, Itut They Got Into a Tlnce
Where They Had No llu.lnru and
Many Were Hilled and Wounded.
New York, Sept. 20.—General W. R.
Shatter, who arrived last night from
Michigan, said in an interview: “My
remarks about the volunteers in a
speech at Constantine have been mis
quoted. I was speaking at a reunion
of the Nineteenth regiment. I went to
the front with it thirty-live years ago.
It happened that soma Michigan vol
unteers got mixed up in the Santiago
light. I merely said that they had not
been intended for active fighting that
day. They had been sent off toward
Aguadorres to make a feint. They got
into a cut and a shell was sent into
them, killing and wounding some.
They had no business in the cut and
regulars would not have been caught
there. The volunteers were all right
at Santiago,handicapped as they were.
They had black powder rifles, for one
thing, and they had not learned what
comes only from the longest drilling
and what constitutes the ideal soldier
that is, to stand with other men with
out knowing it."
“It has been said that there were
20,000 Krag-Jorgensens in the arsenal
during the Santiago campaign that
were never issued," said a reporter.
“Well, I am not the head of tlie ord
nance department, but the increase in
the number of companies raised the
regular army by 35,000 men and these
had to get Krag-Jorgensens immedi
ately, as they were expected to do the
bulk of the fighting. How many of
the small stock of Krags were left af
ter the 35,000 men were equipped, I
cannot say.
“No one who has not seen it can
know the effectiveness of smokeless
powder guns. Our batteries had black
powder; the Spaniards smokeless. One
day, the 10th or 11th of July, I was
standing in the trenches trying to
make out with my glasses the location
of a Spanish battery. Our battery
was several hundred yards to our left.
We could hear the shells leave the
Spanish guns and pass over us. We
tried to locate the guns by following
the sound, but it was impossible.
Later we found that it was more than
a mile away, behind a fringe of bushes
just thick enough to hide the move
ments of the men. It astonished me
and other veterans who saw the work
of smokeless powder.”
The "scandals of the camps" struck
General Shafter as the natural pro
duct of inexperience among the sol
uiers.
“There has been gross carelessness
on the part of new men in sanitary
matters,” he said. “You can’t make
them understand the necessity of care.
They resent being be-deviled by their
officers for not picking up cigar
stumps, fruit peelings and doing such
apparently trivial things. In the Civil
war we often started out with 1,000
men and in six mouths lost f>00 of
them through sickness.
“What has befallen the men who re
lieved me at Santiago? They had no
such conflict with inclement weather
as we had. They have had plenty of
food and complete tentage, but they
have 1,300 sick out of 0,000. So I don't
think we did so badly.”
As to his coming to New York to
tako charge of the Department of
the East, General Shatter said:
“I don’t know where I will go
finally. I have expressed a wish to go
to the Pacific coast, where I expect
to live when I arn retired, but before
going I should not object to taking
the Department of the East for several
months, till General Merritt’s return.
My wife is from Vermont and I hail
from Michigan and a stay of a short
time in New York would give me the
chance to meet many persons 1 have
long wished to see and whom I may
never again have occasion to meet.
“What do 1 think of the territorial
expansion? Well, I do not think my
views are of much importance, but
they are very brief—hold on to all we
get. We had to work hard to get it;
let’s keep it. Wo are rising into the
position of a leader among nations
and we must accept the responsibilities
that come with that leadership.”
General Shatter said he would go at
once to Montauk Point to take com
mand there.

Richmond, Va., Sept. 26.—Varina
Anne Jefferson Davis, “ The Daughter

sleep in the bosom of the land she
loved so well. Her remains arrived

combination Pullman and palace car
of the New York, New Ilaven & Hart

member. The casket was borue to
the hearse from the funeral car by the
gentlemen selected for active pall
bearers, and the guard of honor and
the veteran escort followed in column
of fours. There were four beautiful
white horses attached to the hearse,
each one being led by a colored man.
The services at the grave were sim
ple and deeply impressive. After the
casket had been placed on the sup
ports the face section was removed for
a moment and Mrs. Davis and her
daughter, Mrs. Hayes, kissed the de
ceased. Mrs. Davis sat in an arm
chair near the grave during the serv
ice, and Mrs. Hayes knelt by her side.

ROOSEVELT INELIGIBLE.
Those Opposing lllm Say Ho Is Not a
Citizen of New York.
Albany, N. Y., Sept. 26.—The sup
porters of Governor Black have great
confidence in their ability to defeat
Colonel Roosevelt for the gubernatorial
nomination. Colonel Roosevelt, they
say, is ’ineligible’' to run as a candi
date for governor in this state at this
time, because he is not a citizen of
New York.
When Colonel Roosevelt was sworn
in as assistant secretary of the navy,
he swore to his residence at Washing
ton, D. C. The federal constitution,
however, provides that persons hold
ing office in the federal government
retain their residence in the state
from which they are appointed, but
when Colonel Roosevelt resigned from
the navy department he retired to pri
vate life. Thereafter he enlisted in
the army, and, in accepting his com
mission. again swore to his residence
as Washington, D. C.
Colonel Roosevelt late la3t night
when seen in regard to the matter,
said he did not care to make any state
ment. The story, he declared, of his
not being a resident of New York
state was without foundation.
Colonel Rooseveli did not seem very
much worried about the matter.

NINE MEN HAVE ACCEPTED.
Promises From the President That the
Pro bluff of the War Department Shall
He Made as Thorough as Possible—
The Examination May He Public.
Washington’, Sept. 2tS.—The commis
sion to investigate the conduct of tho
War Department during the recent
conflict with Spain held its initial
meeting in the office of President Mc
Kinley at the White House to-day.
There were eight members present,
and it was announced that the
services of a ninth man were counted
upon, though his name was not
made public. The eight who
were present were: Major General
Granville M. Dodge of Iowa, Colonel
J. A. Sexton of Illinois, Captain E. 1‘.
Howell of Georgia, Major General J.
M. Wilson, chief engineers of the
United States army, Charles Denby of
Indiana, late minister to China, cx
Governor Urban A. Woodbury of Ver
mont, ex-Governor James A. Beaver of
Pennsylvania and Major General II.
McD. McCook of the army (retired).
The appearance of Governor Beaver as
a member of the commission was a
surprise, as his selection was not
known until he appeared at the White
house at the beginning of the session.
The commission spent an hour and a
half with the President and then pro
ceeded to the room assigned it at the
war department for the purpose of or
ganizing and beginning work.
The proceedings with the President
consisted in the main of a general ex
change of views as to the scope of the
commission’s investigation, in which
the President participated quite free
ly. lie told the members that the or
ganization of the commission had
been undertaken at the request of
Secretary Alger and read a letter from
the secretary in which the request was
made. The President had put his own
views in writing, and read them tie
fore proceeding to a verbal discussion.
In this statement he said that com
plaints had been directed especially
at the surgeon general, the quarter
master general and the commis
sary generals departments of the
army, and he suggested that
the conduct of these departments
should receive especial consideration
at the hands of the commission. To
this specific request he added that it
was his desire that the entire military
organization should, if it appeared
necessary, be made the subject of in
quiry, saying that he wished the com
mission to go to the bottom of the
subject in all cases and proceed with
its work without fear or favor.
“If,” he said, in the informal dis
cussion that occurred, “the commis
sion should have difficulty in securing
the attendance of witnesses or in ob
taining access to papers thought to be
essential to the prosecution of its la
bors, I hope the matter will be brought
to my attention, when I will do all in
my power to overcome the difficulty.
I want the commission to have a clear
field and I will do all that it is possi
ble for me to do to see that it has."
The suggestion was also made to the
commission that the first effort should
be to secure general information in
regard to the organization of the army
and the time in which the work was
performed.
The President offered the name of
Major Mills of the army for tho posi
tion of secretary of the commission.
Secretary Alger s request as made in
the letter read by the President was
for a complete inquiry into the con
duct of the war, especially on the lines
of the charges published in the news
papers. Ho said these charges had as
sumed such magnitude that lie did not
feel satisfied to have the Department
rest under them, and that he desired
an investigation by men eminent in
military and civil life.
Dr. Phineas S. Conner of Cincinnati
was announced as tho ninth member
of the commission. lie was selected
because of his eminence as a physician.
After the close of the conference at
the White house the President ex
pressed his satisfaction with the per
sonnel of the commission, adding that
he believed their investigation would
be thorough and their report fair and
impartial.

ing Granville M. Dodge chairman and
Richard Wei^htman secretary; Major

sion adjourned about 1:30 o’clock to
meet at 10 o'clock on Monday.

but other proceedings would be in ex
ecutive session.

GARCIA PRAISES AMERICA.
Ilecv'ptlon Given Him by Americana at
Santiago—lie Make* a Speech.
Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 2o,—To the
residents of Santiago yesterday was
the most important since the capitu
lation, since it was the occasion of the
first visit of General Calixto Garcia to
Santiago since he left there on July 17.
At 9 o'clock in the morning. General
Wood and several American officers
met General Garcia outside the city
limits and escorted him into the town.
Garcia was accompanied by his staff
and by his sou. Colonel Calixto Garcia,
by many Cuban officers who have re
cently come to Santiago, and by 200
Cuban cavalry. Streets through which
the party passed were thronged with
cheering people, and it was estimated
that 10,000 persons filled the plaza in
front of the palace, where Garcia dis
mounted. He was met at the door by
General Lawton and an informal re
ception by the American officers was
held in the audience room. At night
another reception was tendered Gen
eral Garcia at the San Carlos Club,
which was filled with prominent Cu
bans, American officers and ladies.
The plaza was brilliantly lighted and
decorated with llags, and music was
furnished by the band of the Fifth in
fantry. The Americans wore dress
uniforms and General Garcia and his
officers wore white uniforms and high
boots.
In reply to a speech of welcome de
livered by’ Senor Trujillo, editor of the
I’orvenir, General Garcia said:
“After thirty years of desperate,
deadly struggle, the Cuban people to
day celebrate the success of their
efforts. It is a day for the remem
brance of the names and deeds of those
heroes who fought and died for the
freedom of Cuba from the years of 1808
to 1878, and for the remembrance of
the heroes who fought in the war of
1881, which was called the ‘little war’
—little only because of its short dur
ation, but great on account of the
principles defended and for the qual
ity of the men who composed the army
—and for the remembrance of those
noble soldiers who fell in the struggle
which began in 1895, over whose
graves are latest tears have fallen.
“ People of Cuba, we owe a great
debt to those heroes for their efforts
in behalf of Cuban independence, ef
forts which would have been useless
—no, not useless, for we would have
triumphed—but not speedily effective
—if the American people, with their
famous fighters, great ships and
dauntless army, had not sent its own
sons to shed their blood with ours. A
grand nation it must be, when the sons
of millionaires, who had nothing to
gain in Cuba but a soldier's glory,
should come hero to die side by side
with Cubans. To this great nation—
to this noble ocuntry which
has always fought for the rights of
liberty—we owe the achievement of
our independence and the consumma
tion of our ideals. Our gratitude will
long live for America.”
EUROPE MUST PAY. >
When We Need Money She Must Fur
nish It—Trade Balance In Our Favor.
Nkw York, Sept. 86.—R. G. Dun &
Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade says:
'* Europe will have to consider pos
sible American needs for money much
more anxiously in the future. Doubt
less there has been for many years a
feeling that the new continent could
be put off with promises. Rut the
control of this country over money
markets in the Old World is coming to
be that of a master.
“This country is not drawing on
Europe as largely to pay for bread
stuffs as it did a year ago, and wheat
exports for the week, flour included,
have been 3,003,201 bushels from At
lantic ports, against 3,677,808 bushels
last year, and 543,417 from Pacific
ports,against 1,094,893 last year, mak
ing for the three weeks
10,203,941 bushels from both
coasts, flour included, against
15,569.139 bushels last year. Prices
have risen sharply about 4 cents for
the week, and the exports of corn,
though not as large as last year, have
been heavy in comparison with any
other year.
“Reports from different cities dis
close a wonderful activity at the chief
centers of Western trade, the dis
patches from Chicago, St. Paul and St.
Louis being especially significant.”

SCHOOL GIRL SLAIN.
Her Body Found on tb. Brook water oft
Chicago—An Riprwuuin Arrested.
Chicago, Sept. 23.—The dead body
of Jennie Ilickey, a 13-year-old school
girl, was found on the breakwater at
the foot of Thirty-sixth street yester
day morning. She had been murdered,
her skull having been broken. Al
though the body was found early in
the day, it was not identified until 10
o clock last night, when her two sis
ters found her body in a morgue.
Thomas Rutledge, an expressman, was
arrested late to-night, and, although
he denies having known the girl or
being in any way concerned in the
matter, an exceedingly strong case of
circumstances is against him.
After tho body of the girl had been
identified it was taken to the homo of
her parents, and llutledge was among
those who crowded into the house to
view the remains. It was while V,«.
was gazing at the girl’s dead body
that he was taken into custody by tho
police. The police are confident that
he enticed the girl away, murdered
her some time during the night, and
threw her body on the breakwater
with the idea of conveying the impres
sion of suicide.
