Oen. Dodge. In calling the meeting; to order,
Ittted that tho object of holding; sosslons In
tllj cltr was to tle all persona who knew
isytblne of Interest to the Guv eminent an
opportunity to testify before tho Commission.
E sild that it was the intention of the Com
nlislon to solicit nil Information which would
kd t" a full and Impartial investigation of the
ffar Department in the conduct of the war
srith Brain. "I have recelvod a number ot
litters from soldiers and oivlllans," said Gen.
Dodn. "in which tho wrltora offer to come bo
fore the commission and tell what they know
ef the conduct of tho wnr, ns they observed It
koth here and in Cuba. Wo felt that if wo re
tained In Washington we might not bo able
to get all thoso persons here. Wo shall aive
tierybody an opportunity to be heard before
ve go elsewhere, and we trusi that everybody
who can give valuable criticisms will come
More us."
Col. Cha'les K. Greenleaf, Assistant Surgeon-General,
was the llrst witness examined.
Dr. Phlneas S. Conner took tho w itness In hand
I and asked him what part ot the war lie had
observed. Col Groenleat said that he luid
seen Camp Alger, had witnessed some of the
scenes around Blboney. Cuba, had gone with
Cen. Miles to Porto Woo and had also been
Uter In Camp WikofT at Montauk Point.
,' K "How did you nnd things at Slboney In a
I medical way'" ajked Dr. Conner.
"When I not there I found that the medical
inpplles which were intended for the soldiers
"s bad not been landed, but were still on the
transports." replied tho Assistant Surgeon
General. "Who delayed the landlnc of supplies at Slb
eaer?" "I don't know." replied Col. Greenleaf.
"Who finally unloaded those supplies?"
"I did. I captured some positions and took
the law Into my own hands."
."You unloaded In thirty-six hours supplies
that had been lylnc In the harbor for two
weeks? Why didn't Dr. Pope. Chief 8ureeon of
Gen. Shatter's corps, land them within those
two weeks?"
"I suppose he was at the front attending to
the wounded."
"Did Dr. Pope take care ot a wounded man?"
"I cannot say. I am sure Dr. Pone did the
best he could. I had full authority from Gen.
Miles to do what 1 thought best, Of course.
somebody was at fault for the teluy in landing
i r wppUea at Blboney. but I eau't say upon whom
' the blame should rest."
' "How about the charge that the surgeons
flowed tho Invalid holdlers to leave Camp
Vttoft too soon and thereby endangered their
"Gnat pressure was frequently brought to
Uutii mothers and slaters and by prominent
men." Mid Col. Greenleaf. "to get the Exam
IniM Board to let convalescents leave camp
too soon "
"Did theboard yield to this influence?"
"o Sometimes the applicants were re
ferred to me. We let as many go us possible.
Wethonghtit best to lot all co who, we thought.
eould stand tho removal."
Qo'ne back to the Cuban campaign. Dr. Con
ner asked: "Do you think It pronor to send an
tnay Into a country which la i hotbed of ma
uls with only ono medical ofllcer to each regi
ment, and sometimes not that, nnd without
the proper medicine ana shelter?"
"No. that should not have been done, but In
Ihe circumstances It could hardly have been
voided. Tho law did not provide for the in
crease of surgeons for the emergency."
"Did the army at Santiago have enough shel
ter tents?"
. "U Siboney. I think there was enough. But
I don't Lnow about Santiago, because I was
tot there."
Former Gov. Urben A. Woodhury ot Ter-
rnont asked: "Is it proper to critlclso tho de
partment for not having employed female
Dorses sooner than It did;"
1 think not. (Jen. Sternberg and I do not
, believe that tho firing line Is any place for a
f woman. In tho hospitals tho female nurses
( did excellent work. But I don't approve of
tending female nurses ,to the front. It la no
place for women "
Oen. Greenleaf said further, In answer lo
QuMlons by Gen. Beaver, that he did not con-
Ilder Camp Alcer an Ideal plnce for a camp,
t was eood enough for a small body of men.
i ea!d. hut not for a large army. Ho sup
Posed th army used all tho transports It had
to set the men from 1 ampa to Cuba at the
proper time, but he did Inot think any mill
tarvMtessitv over justified tho sacrifice of
poena lire by unsanitary transportation. In
tn ewe in iiuestiou. although the transports
had been crowded, he did not know that any
i'Lnees had oocurrcd as a result of such ovor
rowdlne Private. David J. Gossof Company K.Beven-vy-tirat
:iw York Volunteers, was the next
witness. In onower to questions by Gen.
"aver. Ooss said that when the men llrst
wnt into camp they did not know anything

iMeland." paid he. "we didn't have sense

In answer to other questions Private Henry
said that the food and water on thn Grand
Dttehesse'eomlng from Cuba wore much better
thnn on tho Vlgllancla going down to Cuba.
Ho said that whn ho went to Cuba ho welched
IHO pounds and now woichs 170 pounds.
"I was well eared for and proporly treated
while In thn detention hospital at Camp WI
I kofT." said Private Henry In conclusion.
I Dr. Frank Donaldson of this city was thn
I first witness In tho afternoon session. He said
j that ho Joined Col. Roosevelt's rough riders ns
I acting Assistant Surgeon. He said that at thn
' outset In Cuba there wero not enough nurses
and stewards In the hospitals, and thnt those
I there were not efficient. ...... ,
In the yellow fevor hospital on the hill back
j of Blboney we had excellent oare. Thatwas
largely owing to tho twenty negro nurses
taken from tho Ninth Regular Cavalry."
j "Wero there no femalo nurses?"
"Yos: somo women wore nursing Dr. Iesser
of (ho Red Cross ln n tent. Dr. Lesser, to
show what he know about yellow fevor, estab
lished a hosDltal in a vino-clad Cuban house.
It wasn't long before ho nnd all his nurses
but ono wero down with yellow fever. They
were not able to do any good, but had to bo
nursed." j
Dr. Donaldson said that at Montauk ho
thought tho Medical Department had dono
well. Ths nursing, too. was In general satis
factory. "The only criticism I have to make,"
said Dr. Donaldson, "Is that In tho early part
ot tho war the records wero inadequate from
Insufficient clerical force, nnd becauso pa
tients were not pronorly labelled, their com
plaints could not always bo attended to."
Relative to tho statement that Capt. 0. B,
Wurdcnof the Seventh Regiment died of star
vation, Dr. Donaldson said that it was untrue.
"I, myself," said tho surgeon, "attended Capt.
vVurden, and ho got all tho attontlon possible."
James S. ttauers. n private ot Company K ot
the Soventy-llret Reglmont, who lives at 0
'West 107th street, testified that after the sur
render of Santiago his company had more food
than botoro, but oven then, he said, the coffeo
was not good. Somo ot it was green and tho
men did not know how to roast it.
"Did you oxnect to find coffee roasters in the
trenched?" asked Gen. Boaver.
"The men of the Sixteenth had them."
"Don't you know that you would have had
your heads blown off if you had made big fires
in tho tronclios?"
"I Buppose wo would."
"Don t you know that tho reason why greon
coffee was given to you by the Government
was thnt It wished you to have the vory best?"
"I've heard that, but our officers did not glvo
us a ebnnco to help ourselves llko the regu
lars did."
"Then tho main reason." said Cant. Howell,
"why you did not get enough food seems to be
thnt your officers wore Inefficient?"
"Ys. sir. There seemod to bo enough food,
but our officers did not know how to cot at it.
The Sixteenth. Sixth and Twenty-fourth regu
lars had plenty of food while wo were nearly
starving. The regulars weie not ordered to
throw away their haversacks, but we were.
Thoe who oboyod wero doendent for food
uiion tho men who did not."
"Then," inquired Col. Hexlon. "Is It true
that while the regular officers were looklnc
out for their men vourvolunteeroflleers were
looking out tor themselves?"
"That's about the slzo of It." replied Hauors.
Mrs. Marv- Mansou ot 'Jl West Fifty-lint
street testllled with tcference to her work at
Camp Wikoff. especially the Third Infantry
Regiment, with which she labored. She said
that thn sick men had not sufficient clothlntr.
The relief association with which she was con
nected, distributed she said, about .'I.IMJU suits
ot underclothing. "The principal difficulty I
found." said Mrs. Mansun, "was that tho men
could nut assimilate tholr food. Whereas
there were only about 1(X) slok men ln the hos
pital, there were more who could not walk to
the hospital. There was always enough qui
nine In camp. The men of their own accord
vould take so ninny quinine pills that they
eould not hoar, and after they became deaf
they Lould not answer questions which would
enable us to help them.". ,.
"Were you aware," asked Gov. Woodbury,
"that while your foclety was trying to give
blankets and clothing to the men there
werHjtO.000 blankets in storehouses right at
Ca"o. sir. I did not know that."
"Did you ever see any soldiers living in
tents before?" uked Col. Sexton.
"No sir."
"Don't you think It nrael for tho Govern
ment to make soldiers live In tents and eat
coarse food'" continued Col. Sexton.
"I don't preteuil to criticise tho octloa of
tho Government." replied Mrs. Manson. "I
merely spoke of the discomfort ot tho soldiers
compared with the normal standards of com
fort. We women merely tried to do what we
could to lighten the cares of the men vvhoweie
ill"
"And I am pleased lo acknowledge." added
Col. Sexton, "that the services of the women
wero admirable and that you will always be
held in grateful remembrance by the men who
wei fortunate euough to enjoy your assist
ance." "Thank you." replied Sfrs. Mauson as she
left tho witness chair, , ,
beveral members ot the commission then
shook hands with Mrs. Manson and thanked
her tor the assistance which she gave to the
soldiers of the Third Infantry at CamD WikofT.
The commission then adjourned until this
morning.
BUSINESS STAQXAXT IX CUBA.
Gradual ImprovenientKxpecteil After TJncla
Saul Takes Possession.
Tho following extracts are from a letter re
cently lecelved by a Arm in this city from a
large Ironware Importer and general mer
chandise dealer of Havana. They toll at first
hand and very clearly ot the present business
situation in Cuba practically stagnation ex
cept for transactions In breadstuff's. The Ha
vana firm writes:
" We do not yet see anything ahead of us to
encourage our ordering any stock of goods for
our store. The sugar estates have stopped
working their machlnory nnd cleaning the
c-ano fields. In fact, there will be no real work
ln tho country until tho Cuban Annv- Is dis
banded and delivers up its arms The men
are quiet, but are encamped on the sugar es
tates nil over the Island, and tholr presence
hinders any work of Importance oxcoptatlend
ing tholr sick, three-qunrters of their army
being down with fovors. dysentery nnd other
diseases, with nolther doctors, medicine nor
anvthlngtoeat.
"Our crop will be a very poor ono next year,
and besides but vory fow sugar planters have
nuv money left to buy what they noed lor mak
ing their machinery fit to work. Thoro is.
therefore, no chance for us to improve our
business much.
"We expect, nevertheless, thnt as soon ns
the American tariff is enforced hero nnd the
American Government has taken posesslon
of the island there will bo nn Improvement in
business generally, but that will come slowly,
nnd we aro sure tho people will find out in the
Unltod States that Cuba Is not a Klondike us
manv generally believe there.
" We have had a very rainy month of October
and part of tho present month, andconsequent
ly have had sickness of allkindsin abundance."

Tho cruiser Buffalo, which started from here
a couple of weeks ago for Manila with men and
stores for Admiral Dewey, nnd which had to
put In nt Newport, owing to somo defect in
her mnchlnery, returned to tho navy yard In
Brooklyn yesterday nfternoon Hho was ac

tug Nina was also sent to render whatever
extra assistance might be needed. Thecrulsor,
however, enmo In under her own steam.
It was found thnt the trouble aboard had
been duo to tho bursting of n sea valve. The
concquent leakage lind disarranged thn con
densing plant. As there was no diving suit
aboard the vessel she could not bo repaired
afloat. She will probably be ready to sail in
four or llvo days.
Tho cruiser Chicago was put in dry dock No.

for the rupture of the Tleatormal.
WAsntnoTON. Nov. 18. Tho Treasury De
partment to-day received $in.025.14. tho
amount realized on thoealoof tho cargo of tho
British collier Restormnl. captured by tho
auxiliary cruiser St. Tatil off Santiago. Cuba,
In May last, and will distribute ono-half that
sum to Capt. Chnrlos D. Hlgsbeo and tho offi
cers and brew of Iho Amorlcan vessel. Thts
will bo Ihn first distribution of prlro money ns
a result of the wnr. Tho cargo brought $1.V
541, From this was deducted by the Prlr.e
Court, for fees and othor expenses, $681.80.
leaving $1.1,025.14!. As the capturing vessel
was tuperior to the Restormal, one-half of the
sum, according to the law, goes to tho Gov
ernment. It Is applied to the navy pension
fund for the care of sick and Indlgoot sailors.
This leaves $0.512.t7 for distribution to tho
offloors and erew. . ..,.
When the Restormal wa seized Capt. Bigs
gee was acting Independently of Admiral
Sampson's squadron. Under such circum
stances. Admiral Sampson's sharo of .one
twentieth will go to Capt. Slgsbee. In addition
to his regtilnr allowanoe of one-tenth, making
Capt. Blgsbee's prize money nmount to $070.
Tho remainder of tho $0,512.57. will bo dis
tributed to tho officers nnd men In proportion
to the ray they receive Lieutenant-Commander
V. U. Driggs, as excoutivo offlcer of
the St. Paul, will reooivo botween $150 and
$200. There are twenty-two officers and about
520 men nnd potty officers in the erew, and the
individual amounts will run from $2 up to
$100. The nudltor for the Navy Department
has boen overwhelmed with communications
concerning tho distribution of prize money,
but tho law is such that nothing can.be done to
hasten the delivery of the awards The Treas
ury Dooartmont does not dopend on Congress
tn appropriate tho monoy, but waits until the
Prize Commission has completed Its work and
turned the necossary monoy over to the Gov
ernment. Even then complications arise .that
may oauso delay. In tho case of the Ros
'ormal, it may bo threo months bofore the pay
ments are complotod. Homo officers were pro
moted while at sea. but their commissions
wore not recolved until after the capture, and
the Attorney-General has been naked to decide
at what rank their sharo shall be apportioned.

"We offered him a larger sum, whloh ha de
clined," the 'vestry state ln a minute adopted,
"in whloh declination he followed precedents
set by hlmsel.". having twice upon his own mo
tion reduced his own compensation, prece
dents so unusual as to be worthy of special
mention."
Dr. Rylance was born noar Manchester.
England, on June 10, 1820. Ho was graduated
from Kings College, London, and after a short
stay In London was for five years a rector in
Paris. He oame to this country, bringing let

in Clevoland. and was for a short time rector
ot St James's Church In Chicago. In 1871 he
was called to Rt. Mark's.
Nine years ago Dr. Rylance wnt to England
on a vacation. While ho was away charges
were brought against him by women, which
came to tho notice of tho vestry, nnd it was
o:od to ask for the rector's resignation.
Nicholas Quoskenbos. a lawyer nnd a vestry
man, wrote to Dr. Rylanre asking tor his res
ignation. Dr. It v Ian eo answered from Man

Roference to this old trouble was made in the
minute adopted yestorday by tho vestry:
"We, tho wurdons and vestrymen of St.
Mark's Church in the Douwerle, in accepting
his resignation, which we do with profound re
grot, desiro to place upon tho parish records
our appreciation of his long nnd faithful ser
vice, in which lie has worthily upheld tho tra
ditions ot his distinguished predecessors.
Called to this parish in 1871 as its fifth rector
In the century of its existence tho Rev. Wil
liam Harris, subsequently President of Co
lumbia College, having served from 1800 to
1810. the Rev. William Creighton from 1810 to
1830. tho Rev. Dr. Henry Anthon from 18.S0
to 1801. and the Rev. Dr. Alex. Vinton from
1881 to 18U! he has. by his ripe scholarship,
his liberal theology, his unstinted devotion,
mado an imperishable place ln the hearts ot
his people.
"In a time of trial such as comes to tew he
evinced tho fortitude of a man and the piety of a
Christian. Never did he swerve or falter, nnd
out of the' Ores of a terrible experience lie t-ame
victorious, with mallee toward none, with
charity for all. We only bid him adieu as our
rector. and we hope that he mar lonar bo spared
for wiso counsel and loving intercourse."
Dr. Rylance's llrst wife was Miss Ilnrnersley.
by whom he had one son. ln April. 1805. he
married Miss Llloti Maria Coe, librarian of the

The First of n Series or Concerts fllven ln
Cnrnegle Hnll Vcstrrdny.
Orl Oct. 20 last Mr. Trail Rnur nnd his sym
phony orchestra gaven preliminary sample con
cert, which was ndmlrnblo. Yesterday afternoon
tho public rohearsalof thn first concert of the
regular series ot llv o relienrsnlsnnd flvoconccrts
toot Place In Carneglo Hnll with oven greater
dlan and success than hnd attended the Intro
ductory concert. A programme of modern
mulc, bright nml sparkling In Ha chnrnctcrh
tics throughout Its entire length, wns
rendered with a splendid grandeur of
grasp upon the emotional meaning of
the works nnd a concentrated atten
tion to details that mado the result one ot tho
most worthy and able porformnneo9 ovor glvon
In New York. Wo can recall but few exhibi
tions of orchestral skill that surpassed the one
heard yesterday, and some ot thoso were ac
complished under, the, enmo leader. In the
first placo tho instruments woro in potfect
tune. This even In high-class concorts under
oolebrotcd conductors Is not nlways found
to 'ho the case. Then thero Is .no
doubt that Mr. Paur has got togotlicr
a lot of fire, material mon who aro not only
conscientious but full ot talent and possosscd
ot considerable warm onthuslnsm for tholr nrt
also. Tholr leader is mngnetlc, gonial, reason
able, amlnblo, and n won dor till drlllmnstor
of largo oxporloneo, nnd so whnt could
to expected .but tho very consummation
that Is arrived at? Yet oven with nil theso
favorable Ingredients of success no such
grandly urtlstlo culmination as thnt Interpre
tation of tho "Meistcrslngor" overture could
huvo been roached without n mnster mind to
dlreot each phrase, l'nurthrons the light of a
most olevor musical Intelligence upon
every score ho annlyzes. In tho "Melster
slngor" each separate lilt nnd the workman
ship Is llko lutricnto mosnlo wns made to keep
its own form and its own Individuality, was
caused to pop up and to poop out just nt
the proper Instnnt. nnd then to bob
down again to mnkn room lor Its neigh
bor whoso turn It was to npp-ar.
At tho bamo tlmo the whole structure was pre
servedsolld ln ono great seething, temposlu
ousmass. In tho Haknntnla" ovcituro the
varied tone-color was carefully preserved nt nil
times. This was exquisitely rendered, with a
romantic dreaminess exactly suited to Its
Eastern qualities.
The concort wis. Indeed, a remarkablo one
from Its beginning to its closo.and thn thought
was closely brought to tho mliuNut somo vvho
noted Mr. Paur's easy and potent control over
his inon. the Iron sweep of his musical
bontoneoH. tho sympnthetfc warmth of hi.-,
nxprcHslonnnd tho high and Inspiring reach ot
his climaxes, thnt Einll l'aur was born and
brought up to be an ideal operatic conductor.
Ho it, undoubtedly let us propheHV tho com
ing ond the proper nnd perfect conductor for
grand opera in New lork there could be uoue
otter.
The soloist of voslordai's concert wasLco pold
Oodowsky, a pianist of great merit Mr.
Godowsky is at the head of u largo conserva
tory in Chicago In manner und in feeling
he Is very simple, sincere, and mod
est, in the setting forth of his artistic
abilities he seems hound by the highest and
best methods. Uodonsky Is a most reliable
and agreeabln pUyor, one who gains more und
more fully every moment the confidence nnd
sympathy of his nudiem-e. Ills rendering ot
the Halnt-SaPnB concerto in G minor on a
piano. It may justly be said, ot whloh the tone
wus delightful made a charming interlude be
tween tho orchestral pieces.
Quite amusing to the audience proved an
Innovation which Mr. l'aur mado. In all
tho numbers upon the programme except
ing the "8akunta!a" nnd tho Piano concorlo,
tho violins and violas stood to play. Tho
effect ot this novel chance, though somewhtit
distressing to the eye undoubtedly helped tho
car, as tho string wote not only more res
onant, but more steady In tone and tholr at
taev surer.
The concert proper takes place at 8 this
evening.

robbed of several of his Idols. In a frame
hultdlnir on n ten-toot alloy in tho rear of Uut

collection otcurlous-looklnc objects belonclnir
to tho man, Tho placo where Klommcr keeps
them ho calls his "heaven." Tho largest, ha
says, represents God, others nncols. Soma
aro mado of wood peculiarly carved, while
others aro of plaster Paris, with varicolored
class balls Imbrinc out of them to represent
earn. eyes, mouths, and noses.
, llcforo these nt reaular Intervals Klemmor
bows and worships. Ho declared to tho po
lice that some ot theso Idols had been stolen
and he wanted thorn to cntoh thy thieves and
restore them lo him. T'iq bulldlnir contained
several hundred Inuias, all made by Klommer.
He is a flrit.class mason. It la not thought that
tho Idols wore stolon, but thnt Klemmor was
besomlns too zealous In worship and they wero
romovednn that account by some of his friends.
A few years ueo ho loAt money on somo build
Inir operations, which troubled and worried
him. Ho then bet an mnlclne the Imaees.

aftor him so as not to bo disturbed. Neleh
bors say atrango noises nre heard about the
pretnites, especially on ntormv nlcbtn.
Klcinmer snys ho would not part with his
' idols for nnr sum of money. He will koonon
worshipplne them, as thev carry his mind to
things of u sacred character. One of his idols
represents Jonah as ho wan thrown from the
