% 1ill Illtt nfl inquiry.
Ex-Governor William Larrabee of Clear-
mont anti Judge L. 0. lCinne of Des Moines
of the State Board of Control , accompanied
by their ofilcial stenographer , C. Id. flickocli
of Des Moines , arrIved In the city yesterday -
day afternoon. The object of their visit is
to hold an investigation into the manage-
mont. of the Iowa School for the Deaf hero.
L. A. WIlkinson of Des Moines , the officIal
accountant of the State Board of Control ,
also arrtved yesterday , but his visit hero
Is said to have nothing to tb with the in-
vestigation. The law under which the
Board of Control was instituted requires a
uniform system of bookkeeping at all the
state institutions and Mr. Wilkinson's visit
here Is for the purpose of opening a now
set of books at the School for the Deaf , In
nccorlanco with the system adopted by the
board for nIl state Institutions.
V V
Uoth ox-Governor Larrabee , who Is chairman -
man of the board , and , Judge Kinno are
reticent about the object of their visit here ,
but they admit that charges Vhavo been
filed with the board against the present
management of the School for the Deaf and
that they were here for the purpose of liolil-
log an investigation. This Investigation ,
they say , will be a thorough one. What the
nature of the charges are they declined to
state. lion. John Cownle of South Amana ,
the third member of the board , is not here
and is not expected to ho present at the
investigation.
Some fifteen teachers and employee of the
school have been subpoenaed to give their
testimony. A. T. Flickinger of this city
cml L. 1)o Laahmutt of Mt. Ayr , former
trustees of the school , have also been subpoenaed -
poenaed , As far as can be learned the in-
vestigatlon will be held behind closed doors ,
Rumors of dissatisfaction with the man-
ngomnt of Superintendent Rothert have
been curcent for more than a year and last
winter a committee from the state legislature -
islature , consisting of Senator T. D. Ihealy
of Fort Dodge and Representatives Frank
Merriam of Hopkinton and C. it. Porter of
Centerville , hold an investigation at the
school , which lasted for several days. The
report of the committee at the time suggested -
gested that the school had been somewhat
extravagantly managed and the last leg-
Islatura was called upon to appropriate
$5,000 to meet a deficiency outstanding.
Superintendent Rothort has been at the
head of the State School for the Deaf for
the last twelve years anti his present contract -
tract expires on September 1. When asked
yesterday it they intended appointing a superintendent -
perintendent at this time the members of
the board declined to state. Whether Mr.
liothert will be reappoibted Is not V known ,
but It is known that there are several ap-
plicationa on file with the State Board of
Control for the position.
It Is no secret that a number of the
teachers at the institute are more or less
disgruntled , especially since the reduction
in salaries was put into effect by the new
board. For instance , the salary of the
principal has been reduced from $1,700 to
$1,000 anti that of one of the principal
teachers from $1,300 to $540. Under the
new law all the teachers will have to pass
an examination before being reappointed ,
The superIntendent's salary has also been
reduced from $2,250 to 1,500.
The following have been subpoenaed to
appear before the hoard this morning at 9
o'clock at the Grand hotel : Mrs. John
Green , wife of Dr. Green , a former teacher
at the institute ; Attorney FInley Burke ,

WASHINGTON WAITS FOR NEWS
Speculation as to the Effect of the
Forcible 'I'aiclng of the City
of Mnitllzi ,
WASHINGTON , Aug. 16.-In the midst of
stirrinc news from other quarters the Dill.
daIs here remained in a state of anxiety
and doubt today as to the actual condition
of affairs at Manila. The only information
of an official character received up to 3
o'clock today was the brief dispatch of
Consul Wildrnaa at Hong Hong crediting
the rpnrt of Manila's surrender and of the
withdrawal of Captain General Augusti ,
Further details were anxiously awahed at
the departments of State , Navy and War ,
and at each of them there was no means of
communication , Admiral Dewey being de-
peadetl upon to advise the Navy department
promptly , General Merritt being expected to
report with equal promptness to the War department -
partment , while the State department placed
Its dependence upon Coasul Wildman. In no
quarter here wore advices received. Despite
this fact the officials were about ready to
accept the surrender of Manila as an aceom-
pushed fact. A press dispatch stating that
Madrid officially confirmed the surrender
seemed to dispel all doubt upon the subject.
It was pointed out by those who have to- !
lowed the situation in Manila that General
Jaudemes , referred to as the officer who sur
rendered the city Saturday , Is the Spanish
commander next in authority to Captain
General Augusti. From thIs it is presumed
that the captain general left Manila prior
to the surrender. The change of conditions
at Manila led to much conjecture. In some
quarters it was felt that the course of
tue German naval officials in giv-
lug Captain General Augusti safe
conduct from Manila might be open to 80010
criticism. This view , however , found no ox-
presslon In official quarters and at the
State department , and indefinite Information
on the subject permitted no Intelligent consideration -
sideration of the propriety of this act.
There appears to be no disposition to ques-
Lion the course of the German authorities ,
particularly In vIew of the fact that the
surrender Is more or less a formality , since
Spain , on the dat' previous. bati formally
agreed to the occupation of Manila by the
United States. If the unexpected hail not
happened , Admiral Dewey and General
Merritt would have received word by today
or tomorrow that peace was proclaimed and
that Manila was temporarily to be occupied
by the Unitrti States. In that event a
peaceful occupation of the city would have
occurred the latter part of this week , But
the bothbardment anti surrender have cc-
comphished the same results in a more
speedy manner , It remains to be seen ,
however , whether the bombardment , occurring -
ring after the formal proclamation of peace ,
creates complications. 'Fhie authorIties here
do not believe that complications will arise ,
as It was cvltlent that the American corn-
manders acted without knowledge of what
the two governments had agreed upon. It
is felt to be quite possible , however , that
some complications may result from the
tiamoge wrought by the bombardment , by
the enforced tieparturo of Augusti , and by
the contention probably aroused between
the Spanish forces , the Fillppinos and the
Americans by the forcible occupation. The
political status of affairs Is said to be tln
changed , there being no difference between
a forcible and peaceable occupation of
Manila.

DES MOINES , Aug. 16.-Spccial ( Telo-

following pathetic appeal train Iowa soldiers
in Camp Thomas :
"To the Governor anti the People ot Iowa :
The Fifty-secontl Iowa Infantry volunteers
arc camped on the Chickarnauga creek , in a
so-called park , and though we have seen no
nctual service , we have ever been ready to
move to the front. The war is over , hut
death and sickness are attacking us at an
alarming rate. Three hundred of our boys ,
once so stalwart and strong , are now on
the sick rolls and in the hospital. Death is
claiming them each ( Ill. ) ' and every now day
sees more of our comrades stricken down
with the terrible typhoid antI malaria ,
rhoro are over 600 sIck men in the division
hospital tiila morning , which has a capacity
for 100 only. Filthy drinking water and
poor sanitary arrangements are the cause of
rapid spread of the fever. The drinking
water cornea from Chickaniauga creek ,
rightly named the river of death. It Is
water not fit for the lower animals , being
contaminated with the drainage from the
camp and filled with the clay and soil
washed from its banks. Not a foot of sewerage -
erage , except that provided by nature , cx-
Ists in this fever stricken park. Think of
It , 50,000 men have lived hero for four or
five months and not a foot of sewerage to
carry oft the waste and filth and excrements.
We ask of you that you request the War
department to move us to a healthy camp ,
We are willing to die , if need be , in actual
service , hut wo do not wish to die as our
boys are now dying , like dogs , of typhoid
fever and lack of medical care. if you nr
intoicateci in us , we beg of you to give this
your immediate attention , ( Signed , )

her company's yards and the Gilbert fledge
company's yards with a flowing lake , which
swept much lumber away. It destroyed

isbed and the family nearly drowned. Lum-
bee rafts on the river front were swept
away. A number of bad washouts occurred
on the railroads. Great damage is reported
from neighboring localities , The cost of
