Til 13 OMAHA DAILY JJEEFRIDAY : , OCTOBER 7 , 185)8. BOJNTON AND LEE TESTIFY Viseaso in Southern Gamp the Fault of Begimental and Brigade Commanders. FITZHUGH LEE SURPRISED AT A COMPLAINT Tolln the Wnr IiivcNtlKntliiR ( 'oin- < lint He In Ilcnily to Iend III * Corpn or Men to Cuba or Hrcii Mndrld. WASHINGTON , Oct. 6. The war Investi gating commission held two sessions today. In the forenoon General H. V. Boynton con cluded his testimony and General Fluhugh 1/ee was heard In the afternoon. General Boynton dwelt today on the causes of disease at Camp Thomas , charging the Increase of fever and disease toward the close of the camp to the lack of suQlclcnt care on the part of the rcglmenttil and brigade commanders In covering the sinks. General Leo detailed the conditions prevail ing at the camp nt Jacksonville. Ho said the lto was a good one , the supplies were plentiful , the men well taken care of nnd ho had no complaint to make of the War department's treatment of his command. Ho also took occasion In reply to a ques tion put by Captain Howell to say thnt he did not consider that ho had been slighted In the war. Ho bad wanted to go to Havana and the president had recently Cold him that In case it had been necessary to take Havana by assault ho had Intended to nsk him General Leo to lead the assault ing army. In reply to charges formulated by Surgeon Mlle B. Ward of Kansas City , who said In a letter to the commission that -the camp was with out drainage , that the water was inflt to drink , that there was no proper food and that all of the 45,000 men In the camp were suffering from Intestinal diseases , General Boynton said : "Of course In so large a camp some painful things must necessarily hap pen. For Instance , when measles broke out the hospitals wcro nuito crowded. But to say that there was any purposely Inflicted neglect Is as false as It 1s possible to bo. " These complaints led General Boynton to enter upon a general statement In regard to the condition of the camp and to give his opinion as to the cause of It. He at/ trlbuted the prevalence of disease to the ex posure of the regimental kitchens and hos pital sinks. These had , he said , in the lat ter part of the camp's history been left un covered by earth , contrary to directions by the surgeon-general , nnd this fact more than to all others ho considered responsible for the spread of disease. This failure to carry out sanitary orders he thought was duo to the negligence of the subordinate officers , the brigade and regimental com manders. The trouble only began after General r Brooke was ordered to Washington. Prior to that tlmo General Brooke required dally reports from the regimental officers ani promote attention to any neglect of sanitary precautions. This system and the cart which accompanied It had the effect of keepIng - Ing the camp In good condition. When Gen. oral Brooke loft for Washington the cami was necessarily In charge of the subordinate officers. When General Brooke returned his tlmo was devoted almost entirely to prep aration for < ho Porto RIcan campaign , sc that ho could not give so much hew ! tc tanltary regulations ns ho had prevlouslj done. General Boynton elaborated upon the strict discipline maintained by Genera Brooke In police and sanitary matters , bu said there was a susoenslon of this care after the. , Porto Ulcan campaign wasdecldec1 upon. After General Brooke left there wa : a material Increase of disease and at on < time almost a panic. Kllon Cnrry D Returning to the conditions subsequent t < the date when General Brooke was orderei to Washlncton General Boynton said th exposed condition of the sinks had encour aged the oreseuco of a multitude of flies which bred disease by carrying germs fron the sinks to the tents. "They were , " sali the general , "as thick throughout the parl as they ever could have been In Egypt am they went back and forth from the sinks ti the moss tables of the men and ofllcers wltl the greatest Impunity , covering evorythlni in sight. " General Boynton has questioned at semi length as to where the responsibility foi this condition of affairs lay , and he sali that It was the brigade nnd regimental com manders. "I am satisfied , " ho said , "that the medi cal ofllcers reported to them the coiidltloi nnd warned them of the serious consequences - quences of falling to obey the surgeon gen eral's orders for the covering of the sinks but the medical officers could not glvo or ders ; they could only advise. I would no say that the commanding officers ns a wholi paid no heed to these representations , bu many of them apparently failed to appre cate ! their Importance and did not glvi them the attention the clrcvmstanccs de manded. They should have received the nt tendon , for Instance , that officers In th tegular army would have given them. " General Boynton added that he did no mean to make any reflection on officers fron civil life , but there were some things whlcl they had to learn and many of them wer not experts In sanitation. Furthermore rcost people looked upon the camp as parti ; temporary , and the- fact that all were I dally expectation of receiving orders to mov caused many to be Indifferent to the fu lure. In discussing with Captain Howell , th question of rations supplied to Camp Thoma General Boynton volunteered the suggcstlo that there had been no complaints fror southern soldiers In the camp , and ho con tlnucd : "I don't believe we would have hear half the outcry that has been raised If nl the soldiers had been from the south. " General Dodge said that only two or thre charges had been received from the soul and they were not from soldiers. The testimony of Boynton concluded , th commlslon adjourned until afternoon , whe General Lee Is expected on the stand. General Lee was before the commission a Its afternoon session. General Leo had n complaint to make In regard to suppllei lu June , when expeditions were being gottc off , there was some defay , but this wa natural and since then supplies of all kind had come with regularity and In abundanci "There have , of course , " ho said , "bee some complaints. Soldiers are like schoi boys ; they sometimes complain even whc the.ro Is no occasion for complaint. " Ho thought the army ration was abundar and In the main well suited to a campalg lu a tropical climate. Yet ho thought soni changes nllght be made. For Instance , would bo better to send live animals t Cuba than to send refrigerator meat as i r present. According to his Ideas the me should have more fruit and less meat. 1 Komly lo flit Aiiywhpri * . During the course of the questioning developed that General Leo had been not ! fled that he would bo expected to move h corps to Cuba In the vicinity of Havan about November 1 and that he considers his troops properly equipped for the can T The Spanish uniforms he thought bett < adapted to a tropical climate than aura , i they were cool and could bo washed. II was fearful that the shirts and blouses i our men would be found to bo too hea\ for comfort , General Lee made the significant rcmai that he was counting on landing lu a Mem ly country , a bo bad received direct li ormatlon that the American troops would > o wc'Ccomed not only by the Cubans but > y the Spaniards as well. He eatd the eon- crvatlve nnd property-owning Spaniards vcre especially desirous to have the Amerl- an troops come for the preservation of order. The health of his troops had been good- only about 2 per ceht being sick. He said the meat was received In refrigerator cars ind that , as n rule , It was good. In n few nstances the outer edges of the large pieces of meat were spoiled , as was also the hard- ack In one or two cases. A shipment of potatoes had been reported to be In bad condition and a board was appointed which condemned all the goods. General Lee said most of the civilian officers learned their military duties very promptly , others were slow to learn , others never learned , bill a irnjorlty did. ! , < < In .SnrprlHCMl. A letter was read complaining of the situ ation In the Jacksonville camp. This letter said the camp was filthy , the broad moulded and the doctors generally drunk. "Is that from my command ? " General Leo asked In evident surprise. When Informed that It was , ho said that lie- was astonished and asked for the name of the author. He said In this connection that occasional complaints had come to him which ho examined and In every case found them to be unfounded. Then said Governor Beaver after some further questioning : "You consider yourself In good condition In every way to start In the expedition to Cuba ? " "I do , " replied General Lee. "Touch n button and wo are prepared even to go to Madrid. " Ho expressed the opinion thnt It was Im possible for any foreign troops to do any great amount of campaigning In Cuba in the summer months on account of the heat. Not even the Spanish and Cuban forces had over been very active In the summer season. Some of the regimental surgons ho knew wcro not as competent ns they should be. The surgeons of higher rank were all compe tent men. Ho expressed the opinion that the site of the camp at Jacksonville was well selected. Captain Ilowell asked General Leo If he considered ho had been sidetracked In the campaign. He replied : rnlrtMl < o lluvp n AVIinck nt Illiiuun , I don't think so. I have from time to time seen something In the newspapers that It was not the Intention of the authorities thai I should have an opportunity to be In thr operations. I , of course , had no chance tc go to Santiago or to Porto Hluo , as othei officers In the army overranked me. II was always the understanding that my corps was organized for the Havana campaign. 1 had some ambition to go there , because 1 had not been allowed to stay whllo I was there. I wanted to go back with some met and show our enemies that I could stay. lie continued by saying that the presldoni hod told him within the last few days thai ho had always Intended to send him t ( Havana nnd In case there had been an assault - sault on the city that he should lead It. General Leo dwelt on the Importance o ! taking proper care of the sinks as a pre ventive of disease. He said the healthles' ' regiment In his camp was the One llundrei and Sixty-first Indiana regiment. Most o his troops were anxious to go to Cuba , bu some desired to be discharged. Ho said. In conclusion , that he knew of n < case of distress , starvation or death tha was duo to neglect or Inefficiency on th < part of the officers. Ho said ho had no com plaint to make against the War departmen and knew of no ono In his command win had. had.Gonoral General Greene , who participated In thi Manila campaign , will bo heard tomorrov and ho will be followed by a number o staff officers who have been ordered to Cuba SECOND NEBRASKA IS READ\ Ilny * Co in I UK' lliiik from Tliolr Fur ImiKli with n Di-U-rniliiittloii to S c More St-rvloc.

As the crowd caught sight of the governor It \vns a signal for n tumult of applause that did not ccaso until ho had taken his seat In the center of the platform and had risen to acknowledge his enthusiastic reception. President Wattles of the exposition acted as chairman and after calling the gather ing to order ho Introduced Gover nor Holcomb of Nebraska who made the address of welcome on the part f the state. He said : 1 know that n , crcat many Buckeyes have ccn transplanted and have grown up on ur western nralrlcs. There Is a similarity n the hlsloiv of the two states.

Wo are mindful f the claim you have to the approbation of hose who admire advancement. The chll- rcn of Ohio are found everywhere In the vest. It Is'a pleasure to us who come from ho land of their birth to note that they re taking a prominent part In the aflalra f their adopted states. When much of the history of our state vas written this was known as the Indian errttory. Now It Is one of the garden spots f the world. This exposition typifies the Irtues of your alms and efforts. The view vo shall have will move us to a spirit of mutation. Ohio must do as well at a later date. When her tlmo shall : omo she must send her greeting westward o bid the western people to come and wor- hin nt her shrine of Industry und peace.

Ohio has exulted In this op- pnrtunltv to do even n small mrt toward making this undertaking the glowing success It bus proven to be.

By a lucky combination of circumstance ; Mr. A-Ko\v-Slck , a young Wichita Indian reached up nnd picked off another victory fo the Sioux Indians at t'.ie sham battle foush yesterday nfwrnoon. lie dt3 the Mmu thlni last Tuesday afternoon , and now he U abou the biggest Indian In the whole camp , or a least he Is in his own estimation. The sliam battle yesterday afternoon wa fought along the same lines us nnny other that have been seen at the exposition nsld from the fact that eomo of the Sioux squaw Injected some enap Into rne alfalr by glv Ing an Illiutratlan of women lifting the hal of r > en. After the battle was over yesterday after nocn there was a little sldo play that wa not on the regular program.

There was a social function of more than ordinary Importance out nt the Indian frroundB yesterday , in fact It wns the swell- cat thing thnt has occurred In Indian so ciety for many moons and nil who hap pened to be participants felt highly hon ored. ored.for for sometime It has been npparcnt that the Goes-to-Wnr family has been In need of a new tepee. The old one , having with stood the snows of several winters and the rains of as many summers , had become n trifle dilapidated , dirty and full of holes. Oocs-to-Wnr being n big man In the Sioux trlbo felt thnt It was beneath his dignity to llvo In n tcpco full of holes and so In formed Captain Mercer , who took the same view of the case and nt once gave the old warrior a requisition on the Indian store for enough white duck to construct the habitation. Yesterday morning the purchase wan made nnd , as proud as a boy with his first pair of long pants , Gocs-to-War lugged the cloth across the open tract nnd flung It down In front of his wife , telling her that now they would have -tepee that would outshine any In the camp , provided that she got a hustle on herself and put the thing together. Mrs. Gocs-to-War suggested that she had nothing In the house that wns good enough for company , else she would Invite the neighboring women nnd have a sewing bee. said ho could fix little Ooes-to-Wnr a thing hko that , so he hied himself down to the office of Captnln Mercer , telling him that ho wns going to have company and that ho would need something extra for dinner. The captain grasped the situation nnd Issued nn order on the store. When Goes-to-Wnr reached homo ho was loaded down with acks of dried prunes , beans and bacon. The stuff ho turned over to Mrs. Goes-to- War , wlio at occo Issued Invitations to itesdamcs Three Fingers , Pretty Kagle , Touch-the-Cloud , High Wolf , Cut Nose , Yellow Back , Crooked Elk nnd the Misses Irown Bear , Owl Eyes , Running Horse , Jumping Bear , White Hawk and Fast Girl o attend and bring their scissors , needles and thimbles. All of the Invitations were accepted nnd long before noon the party was In full swing. The ofd tepee was taken down and spread upon the ground nnd over t the now cloth was laid , the old tent > clng the pattern for the new one. After he cloth was cut , the women commenced sewing nnd during the balance of the day t was as merry a sowing boo as ono could ivlsh to see. The women worked nnd chatted and did not seem to mind the white people who gathered nround the plncc where they were working and which had jeen roped off to keep out the Intruders. Shortly after noon Mrs. Goes-to-Wur served dinner to her guests. In this she wns assisted by her daughter Black Prairie hlcken nna the Misses Comes Alone nnd Looks High. Mrs. Goes-to-War superin tended the cooking of the bacon nnd beans , whllo young women served the guests and poured the coffee. The dinner was served on tin plates nnd was all In ono course. After dinner the work upon the tepee wns resumed and long before the Indian battle It was completed and raised , ready for occupancy. Two or three times during the day Goes- to-War visited his home , but at no time did ho stay long. Ho went over to a neigh bor's for lunch and when asked why ho did not eat at homo replied : "I always did hate those hen parties. I have got ono over at my place now and dor\'t \ propose to go back until it breaks up. " IiIVI-3 STOCK SHOW IN FUM. IlLAST. MrM KxlilMtloil nil ( I JildKiiiK 111 the IlliiK Uriel YcndTilny. The first ring showing of the live stock exhibit took place yesterday afternoon In the amphitheater west of the Dairy build ing. Three rings of Jersey femaFes were brought before the judges. It has been decided that no announcements of awards shall bo made until the close of the exhibit a week from Saturday. At that time , be sides the $35,000 prizes offered by the man agement of the exposition , there will be about $3,000 distributed In special premi ums. ums.Tho The gathering of live stock that Is now on the exposition grounds exceeds that at any similar exhibit ever held In this coun try with the exception of the rive stock show nt the World's fair In Chicago. Al though there wcro n greater number of ani mals brought together at that time , they fell far short of equaling In quality those of the present exhibit. There are still a few more entries that are on the way. But the entries are now practically all In the barns. There are about 200 head of horses , 700 of cattle , SOO of swine and 600 of sheep. Among the horses the Clydesdales , Per- cherons and Hackneys predominate. There are twelve varieties of cattle , but about one-fourth of the entire number on exhibi tion are Herefords. There are also a large number of Holstelns , Jerseys and ShortHorns - Horns shown. Among the swine there are eight distinct breeds. Fine specimens arc shown of the Poland China , Chester White and Yorkshire varieties , The sheep show ten breeds , the Lincolnshire , Cotswold and Lelchcster predominating. Almost all of the exhibitors are ownere of largo stock farms and the entries they have made are the pick of their pets , Ilarely has any one breeder brought more than ono variety. The Holsteln cattle shown by W. B. Barney , I.V. . Chappell anil Stephens & Son are attracting a great deal of attention , as are also the Red Polled variety shown by S. A. Converse , Ji W , Jlartln and McElvey & Son. There are t few exhibits from Canada In sheep anil swine that are somewhat different froir the varieties that arc so common with ex hibitors from this country. They Incrudo o pen of Yorkshire hogs and a couple ol flocks of Lincoln and Cotsvr ? Vl sheep. The program calls for the showing of tin Short-Horns , Galloways and Holsteln cattle today. Besides these , several of the horses will be brought Into the ring. An erroneous Impression has got abroad that an extra admission Is charged for the show. This Is wrong.

Some days ago Captain Mercer conceived the Idea of putting on ix kind of a tragedy , showing how It came about that Sitting Bull was murdered. In order to do this It was necessary to have a log house. The logs were secured and then It became nec essary to have the house built. As the Sioux are the only ones to appear In the play , It devolved upon them to build the house. At this point they balked and Intimated that they are too proud to work. Right nt this point the Pueblos came to the aid of Cap tain Mercer and Informed him that If they were given an Idea of what was wanted they would build the structure. The cap tain drew his plans und gave them to the Pueblos , who dropped the work on their own house and commenced upon the Sitting Bull cabin. Early and late they have worked and now they have It all completed with the exception of chinking the holes between the logs. That portion of the work they about completed yesterday. llniiilMlniUliiK Cnrnlvnl.
