Ht'NTSVILLE , Ala. . Oct. 20. The wai
inves'lgatlng commlsBlon today began tht
Inspection of Camp Forse , preparatory tc
the Inquiry which will bo Instituted here
later The commlsaloncrs separated * Into
parties of two for the purpose of Inspection ,
but even then they found the tank befon
them qulto arduous , as the camp here Is a
large one with about fifteen subdivision ? ol
troops , to ray nothing of Hio hospitals ,
There are a great many regular * here , and
amoug them many who participated In the
Santiago campaign. Many of those will be
exam. mil when the commission begins 1U
Mttlnga. The Investigation here will be dl-
rocttod especially t6 the' procuring ot facts
coilcornlng the management nt the hospitals
and thu care of iuu sick walla the army
was In Ouba.
' Wu know all about the landing and tht
way the battles wore fought , " said Gen
eral Dodge , "what wo want now to know Is
how the sick and wounded were cared for. "
In pursuit of this purpose a large number
of Burtons will be called. The commission
ers were greeted hcte by : i mild snow storm
and. very muddy roads and decided to post
pone ramp Inspection and to begin the tak
ing of testimony today.
The commission began the examination of
wltiiCMCa today with General Lou In H. Car
penter , who Is In command In General
Wheeler's absence. He had been at Chlcka-
maufia , Tampa , and at J-'crnaudlna before
coming here. HP said that tin- camp nt
Chlckamauga was too crowded. That at
Tampa won unsatisfactory , but It was not
Intended to bo permanent. That at Fcrnan
dlna was Ideal. The food supply had been
ample throughout , hut quartermaster's sup
plies wore generally low and there had been
vspcclal trouble In securing tcntti. Thcic
wai more dllllculty In getting supplies at
Tampa than elfccwhore , becnuho of railway
congestion.
Volunteer * Arp U
Major Chailea M. Gandy , the surceon who
was In charge of the medical supV depot
at Tamp.i , said he had been able ; : , 1111 nil
reasonable requisitions for mo > cal supplies
with promptness , but many bulky articles
for which substitutes could be had were not
supplied. Regular troops were tasily satis-
fled , but the volunteer * were exacting. Still ,
( here were some delays and he mentioned
emu Instance of supplies ordered from New
York that were not received for two months.
He had fitted out the Shatter expedition for
Cuba and thought that In the main the ex
pedition was falrfy supplied. This was
especially true ot the first requisition , Half
of the Huppllrs he had on hand had been
panl\cd for Cuba and he had afterward made
a supplement shipment ot two wagon loads
Ho hud afterward heard that many of these
Btoics came back to Tampa In the hold ot the
Iroquols. Ho gave the name of Captain
Munson as authority for this latter state
ment , and ho wa/s sure that Captain Mun-
eon would testify willingly and fully.
No Mnii Hungry.
During the afternoon session of the com
mission a number of officers who had served
In the Santiago campaign and In Florida
wcro examined.
General O. S. " Carfteior ] | said the sick tit
Santlngo h'atl Buffered"enmowhat on accounl
of the ; deficiency1 of. medicines and medical
supplied , hut this was the only deprivation
of which be spoke. The troops did not re
ceive full rations while In the Held , but be
was qvilto sure that no man In the com
mand had gone hungry.
Captain George S. Cartwrlght , who had
been aide to General Kent In the Santiago
campaign , said that under the 'circumstances
the commissary department had been quite
einclrnt at Santiago.
Lieutenant FarnWortb , GbnefaV vliawton's
quartermaster at Santiago , gave the details
of forwarding supplies and Lieutenant Gler-
Bon , chief commissary at Tampa , and Cap
tain Thompson , who had hold the position
at Feruandlna , told of tht > supplies at these
two points. Mr. Farusworth said that foi
a tlmo It had been Impossible to get full
rations ( o the front. Messrs. Glcrsou. and
Thompson said the principal complaints
they had heard about supplies concerned
the bacon furnished.
DenfliN Due to I'rpnintiirc llpinoval.
Major H. U. Thomason , Burgeon of the
ThirtythirdMichigan , who had served In
the general hospital at Montauk Point , nftrr
August 17 , said that In August there were
600 patients In the hospital and that there
were often eight In n tent. There were In
the beginning of his service not sufficient
cots and some men had to olcep on the
blankets. Some of the members of the hos
pital corps wcro without training but he had
known of but one instance In which hospital
refuse was thrown out on the ground beside
the tent. There were times when there
were not a sufllclcnt number of attendant * .
As a rule the surgeons were capable , but
when Jio went Into the Institution thcro was
u sad deficiency ID numbers. Ho had heard
no complaint of Ill-treatment from patients ,
but there was criticism from outsiders. lit
thought deaths wcro caused by the removal
of patients before they were In condition
to be moved. Yet the removals were made
to make place , for others who were Hill
rick and who otherwise would not have
found a place In the hospital. In ono In
stance he bad twcn told to get 300 ready
for removal , but when going through the
hospital ho bail found only seventy nt tc
bo moved , and had demanded n written or
der. This order he did not get and therefore
ho removed only the soventy. < He estimated
that from SCO to 700 had been thus prema
turely removed.
Your friends may smile
But that tired feeling
Means danger. It

Lead to serious illness.
It should be promptly

UMEARfH' ' GERMAN INtRIGUES

llotli P.nils of tlip MrnrnKiin
Cnnnl ,
CHICAGO , Oct. 2C. A special to the Jour
nal from Washington says the Stutc depart
ment has discovered a clever schema on the
part of the German government to acquire
coaling stations or naval liases In both the
Atlantic and the Pacific at points where the ;
will come In direct conflict with the Interest ;
of thin country when the Nlcaraguan canal
Is built. In this same connection the de
partment has also unearthed what appear :
to bo a breach of faith on the part of Enp-
land toward the United States lu Samoa. .
Ever slnco thu death of King Malletoa Ger
many has been running things In Samoa ap
parently Independent of the triple protecto-
late exercised over It by thu United States ,
Great lirltain and Grrmanv. Careful Inves
tigation has convinced the State depart men I
that Germany and England have made a se
cret compact , whereby the latter has ceded
to the former Ita rights In Samoa under the
protectorate and has consented , for n con-
slderntion , to allow Germany to utilize the
Island as d coaling and naval station.
While this pact between England and Ger
many Is not an actual violation of the pro
tectorate , It Is yet practically a breach ol
faith on the part of England , because , while
professing the utmost friendliness for this
country , It has given to Its rival In the Pa
cific rights which may cause a serious clash
Germany Is bent on securing naval sta
tions aa near to the propose/ ! canal as pos
sible. It It has England's claim In Samon
It Is established at the Pacific end. For tin
eastern end It Is working out a plan which
may give the State department much trou
ble to circumvent. It Is said that Germanj
Is' trying to secure a naval base at Santc
Domingo. Should she succeed here the
United States , which expects to build th <
canal , would flnd Itself at a disadvantage
nt the outset. Porto Illco is to be the Amor-
l"an naval base in the West Indies. ! t Is
admlinbly sllu.led fcr this purposs , bul
should Gfrmaiiy secure a foothold in Santc
Domingo It would be In a better strategic
position fo"r control of the canal than v > oul <
this country. The republic of Santo Domlngt
is heavily in debt. Most ot Us bonds an
held In Germany , and the kaiser expects It
acquire a naval station by threatening fore
closure on his bonds. The president o !
Santo Domingo and Smlthwced of New York
representing the syndicate which control1
the customs revenues and stands responsible
for the annual expenses ot the republic , an
holding conferences. Should It bo disclosci
that there Is no other way to prevent Ger
many securing the coveted naval base , I
la highly probable that the annexation o
Santo Domingo to thu United States will be
urged. It Is asserted that annexation woult
bo a small price for the United States to paj
to prevent Germany acquiring a naval bast
at the very mouth ot the canal.

SANTIAGO , Oct. 2C. Major Pettlt , 111
command of the United Stated troops al
Manzinlilo and military governor of the
city , telegraphed today that the Cuban gen
eral , Hlos , offers armed men to assist the
Americans In preserving ordnr , merely ask
ing rations In return. General Wood sent
the following reply :
"Certainly not. The only conditions on
which rations arc to be Issued are the com
plete disarmament and dUbandmcnt of the
troops. "
Some of the Cubans here consider thai
the United States Is treating its allies
badly In not allowing the. Cuban forces te
remain armed. They contend that the
Cuban soldiers who have been lighting three
years , who speak the language of the coun
try , are belter fitted for garrison duty than
"untrnlneel volunteers. "
The Cuban general , Macla Rodriguez , vir
tually voices the sentiment of the Cuban
army when ho says : "We thank the United
States for the assistance It has given us ,
hut the time has now arrived when the
Cubans should be placed In the hlghesl
ofilccs and should prepare to take over the
Island on the departure of the Spanish. "
Modernten AVniit Our Control.
Cuban extremists hero are jubilant at the
reported attitude of the Cuban assembly al
Santa Cruz del Stir , where the delccates ,
while expressing their gratitude * to tht
Americans , practically demand a distinctive
Cuban government. The Cuban moderates
on the other hand , regret this stand , think
ing It best for the United States authorities
to continue In charge of affairs for a yeai
a least , BO as to set things going and te
prevent any complications with foreign gov
ernment ? .
These who advocate annexation to the
United States are extremely anxious as te
the outcome1. A prominent Cuban , now em
ployed under our government , who la c
moderate and well nblo to judge of tin
popular feeling In Santiago , says those thre <
parlies are well defined and would poll aboul
equally , but In the event ot the extremist !
endeavoring to force an issue a majority ol
moderates would join the iinnexntlonlsts.
The foreign consuls are considering the
advisability of appealing to the powers tc
prevent a too hasty recognition of the Cu
ban government.
General Wood is considering the advisn
blllty of granting a hotel license to any re
sponsible applicant who would undertake tc
establish a first-class house In Santiago. I
Is a singular fact that while many of tlu
cities having only a third of Santiago's
population support two or three hotels , this
town has none worth speaking of. General
AVood Is fullv resolved to allow no more
pauperi to land here , especially no mo ,
fiom tlio West Indies , a class entirely un
willing to do bard work. Ono schooner fron
Jamaica and one from Haytl , loaded will

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
The news that the Illinois Central hud en
tered Into a contract with the Union Paclllc
for the handling ot the business In South
Omaha and that the city would bu itsked
to vacate Railroad avenue , was favorably
commented on In business circles yesterday.
In the plans now under consideration the
triangular piece of ground east of the pres
ent Union Pacific1 depot Is to be secured
for depot purposes. The school district
o\vna the major portion of this ground and
H may bo u hard matter to secure It.
President Roberts of the Hoard of IMucatlon
was seen last night In regard to thu mat
tir and ho said that for ili'pot purpoien the
land was worth $3,000. Heal estate men say
that the property owned by the school dis
trict Is worth not more than J2.000 , that
being on outside figure. Several city oflU
e-lals have commented on the matter and
all agree that the taxpayers should be re
imbursed for the pavement on Hnllroad

General Manager Wlldor of Swift and
Company stated yesterday that ho had re
ceived notice that the quarantine In Louisi
ana and Mississippi had been abolished.
This , Mr. Wilder said , would hnvo n tend
ency to advance the trade tu the state ?
mentioned , as the quarantine prevented In
a gicat measure the shipments of meats
from this point to the states bordering on
the gulf.
At the present time Swift and Company
Are preparing n largo order of dry and salt
meats to be sent to Honolulu. Some spe
cially prepared hams nro also being packed
for shipment to Manila. It Itt expected that
from this tlmo on South Omaha will be the
shipping iiolnt for packing house products
needed In the Sandwich and Philippine
Islands.
WniitH ( lie Alley Orndcd.
J. B. Smiley has re filed a petition for the
grading ot the alley between I and J streets
and Twenty-second and Twenty-third
' streets. Tills petition came before the coun
cil early last spring but was sidetracked.
, Later on It came up and the city attorney
was directed to draft an ordinance for the
grading of the alley. When the ordinance
came up on Its final reading at the last
meeting H was defeated. Smiley then se
cured the original : petition and reflled It ,
He says that he proposes to have the coun
cil grant the request of the taxpayers or
know the renson why. The persons whose
property adjoins the alley are the ones who
will pay the expense of the grading and he
cannot see why councllmen from other
wards who know nothing of the needs of the
district should vote against the proposi
tion.
Locate a Klondike.
The men employed In excavating at the
west end of the Armour tract thought that
they had struck a gold mlno yesterday
when flakes , of n bright metal wore found
on the tracks wherc'dlrt from the cars had
been spilled. Some of the flakes which had
been flattened by the car wheels were
nearly oe large as a dime and presented the
appe-arancc of4 gold. A sample was taken
to a jeweler , where nn acid test was made ,
and the metal was found to be a composi
tion of Iron nnd copper. The gold mlno
fever quickly subsided and the men cm-
ployed on the grading quit staking out
claims when the result of the test was made
known.
Friday a ItcKlntrntloii Day.
Friday will bo the .second day of regletro-
yon. AH persons who expect to vote nt the
'
coming election must register. Some
people seem to think that because they reg
istered last spring that they do not Uavo
to register this fall. This Is wrong. All
voters must register every fall. The regis
tration booths will bo located at the same
pfucos as on the first day of registration.
In addition to this City Clerk Carpenter has
had printed cards designating the places of
registration and these will be displayed In
the proper places on Friday.

some time nnd friends were In the city yes

as Is known the missing man has not been

was obtained about him. Some of the miss

arc not prepared to say at the present time
I just why they suspect this.
