POOR PROVISION FOR DISEMBARKATION

Washington, Nov. 10.—Major Fa-
Garde in liis testimony before the war
investigating commission to-day spoke
of the yellow fever hospital at Si honey,
which was under his charge in a gen
eral way. He was satisfied that the
hospital was well conducted »|itd that
the supplies on the whole were ample.
Dr. Connor asked whether the con
tingency of yellow fever eoulU not have
lM*en provided against, asking whether,
if in his judgment it should not have
been known by the Surgeon General that
tinder the circumstances, there would
he no outbreak of fever.
•Tie should have known that such
were the probabilities and everybody
should have known that such were the
chances in sending an army into an in
fected region in the summer season.
Evidently the Surgeon General did fore
see what would happen, and his words
on this subject written before the expe
dition set out and giving warning against
the invasion at the time it was under
taken, read like prophecy.”
The witness added under these circum
stances he could uot understand why
more complete provisions should not
have been made for supplying immune
nurses, and he did not know but that
the corps surgeon had asked for this
assistance in advance; he knew only
that they had not l**eu adequately pro
vided. Apparently, however, the army
dependtHl upon the yellow fever expert
to say when yellow fever would break
out. However, it must Is* said that the
yellow fever was very mild and it came
to be less dreaded than typhoid. As a
consequence tin* mortality among tin*
sick in Cuba was less than among those
left in the Vuited States.
l)r. LeGarde expressed the opinion
that if the grid ten* had been fully equip
ped there would have been less sick
nt-ss among them, and ho thought that
much of the trouble was due to the
fact that the soldiers wen* compelled to
lie on the ground without cover.
Colonel J. VF. .fttCobs* who was chief
quartermaster of the Fifth corps at
Tampa and in Cuba, testified that Gen
eral Humphrey had been iu charge of
the embarkation of troops at Tampa,
and that no order specifying what ves
sels the different commands were to
occupy had been issued. In reply to a
question from Governor Beaver, he said
the embarkation had been a haphazard
affair, “decidedly so.” He also thought
there was a great difficulty in flu* pro
visions for disembarkation, as only two
lighters were provided and one of those
was lost on the way over.
Colonel Jacobs had charge of the tr.tn.*s
portation facilities at Santiago and he ex
pressed the opinion that there were not a
sufficient number of wagons. General
Shafter's first order had Iteen to take
only fifty wagons. When General Miles
went to Tampa he doubled the number,
but even this order did not secure a suffi
cient numlter.
General McCook <leveloped a quite ani
mated episode by asking if then* was any
reason why the cooking utensils and
camp eqiiippage of the troops should
not have been forwarded from Daiquiri
to the troops in the field.
“There was no reason,” Colonel Jacobs
replied, “except that General Shafter's
order forbade it.”
Continuing, he said, "that the ordet
was most {**>itive. It did uot >qs*cify
what should not lie forwarded, but it
was most npeglir in providing that only
forage and rations should be forwarded.
The food had been sent to the front
cooked, but he thought the men should
have had some facilities for cooking: the
order had never been changed during the
month he remained at Daiquiri.
Dr. Connor asked whether orders had
lrf.cn given to leave all the hospital equip
incut« behind at Tarn pa. and Colonel
Jacobs responded that it was his impress
eion such was the ease. He had personal
knowledge that General Shaffer had
given such an order concerning the ambu
lances.
Captain Jonathan N. Patton, who, as
assistant quartermaster had made the
contracts for the const ruction of the
quartermasters and commissary build
ings for Camp Wikoff at Monmttk Print
also testified at the morning session.
The w'itness raid tli«*r»* had been ft
great deal of injustice iu the criticisms
in the new»|*u}s*rs concertjug the delay
ms th< sick men at th depot* going off
on furloughs. ‘There was no neglect
in this matter,” he said, “aml no more
discomfort than is necessary in remov
ing sick men. 'die men were provided
with seats and cot a while they waited.”
At the afternoon s«*ssfim Captain M,
W. Ireland, who was associated with
Dr, Liigurde as a surgeon and exteit
tive offi< er in the Nfimney hoapitul, tes
tified in regard to that institution. He
complained of the warcjty of cola, not
over fifty being provid'd. The hospital
had been supplied for 200 patient a. Many
of the sick were comfadled to lie on their
blankHrf on the ground.
Dr. Edward L. Mason, who for u linn*
was on duty «» Tauipft and in Culm and
also served as adjutant to General Pope,
chief surgeon of the Fifth const, sh id
the condition of the army before Han
lingo was lamentable, owing largely to
the fact that the men were without
teuts. For the first two or three days
also there were practically no supplies on
shore. Ho far as b«* could determine
the quartermaster department had
mode no efforl to assist the medical de
jmiHmuf, leaving it entirely to its own
devices. He thought there was suffi
cant dressing for the wounded, suffi
eient medicines and sufficient, surgical
instruments, hut there was a lack of
tents and cots and of suitable diet,
lb* knew that Dr. Pope had protested
against the sailing until supplies which
ha«l been ordered could be received.
Colonel W. H. Forward, who was the
chief medical officer at Montauk Point,
testified that his instructions were to
have on hand at all times tents, beds,
etc., anti representations that they
were not there were not correct. There
was. however, some lack of transporta
tion facilities, and there was difficulty
in getting supplies from the station, this
fact being due largely to the limited ca
pacity of the railroad depot. lit* assert
ed that "not for a minute.” had patients
remained outside the hospitals without
protection from the weather, though
there were times when cots were not
on hand. In other cases the patients
were laid on their mattresses spread on
the tent doors. Dr. Forward said that
much of the crowding of the hospital
was due to the fact that many soldiers
sought to gain admission as a means of
getting a furlough home.
General Dodge announced at the close
of today’s session that the commission
would leave at II o'clock to-night for
New York. While in that city the Fifth
Avenue Hotel will he the headquarters,
and meetings will be held there, tin* first
beginning Friday at 10 o’clock.

BANK’S DOORS CLOSED
FIRST NATIONAL OF EMPORIA SHUT UP BY
ORDER OF COMPTROLLER.
Suicide of Charles S. Cross, its President.
Speculation Led to his Ruin. Went to
his Death with a Smile
Emporia. Kansas. November 16.—This
afternoon the First National Bank of
Emporia was closed by order of the
Comptroller of the Treasury. An horn
later Charles S. Cross, the bank’s presi
dent and one of tin* best known breeders
of Heresford’s in the West, shot and
killed himself at “Sunny Slope,” his fa
mous stock farm near town.
Speculation is said to have led to Cross’
downfall. His fortune has doubtless gone
down with the bank. Among the heavy
losers by the failure are Lyon county and
the city of Emporia. All the city and
county funds were deposited in the insti
tution. Cross was custodian of his
father’s estate, which i* also said to be
iu a wrecked condition.
Cross’ ending was tragic. To the ma
jority of the people of the town the
Comptroller’s card on the doors of the
bank came ate'a surprise, but in financial
circles ls>th here and in the State the
result had been anticipated for six
months. Examiner Charles Jobss, who
closed the bank ou orders from tin* Comp
troller has been going over its book with
the aid of President Cross for the past,
week. No signs of mental agitation on
the part of the bank president had been
displayed, and when Cross left the bank
to-day. ten minutes Is*fore It closed, he
waved his hand pleasantly to his asso
ciates and seemed no different from
usual. There was a smile on his faci
as he passed his friends on the street.
He went immediately to "Sunny Slope”
farm, spoke pleasantly to the employes,
passed into the bedroom of Evans*
house. Soon after Evans entered the
room, One shot had been fired and ii
went through the back of his head.
Death must have been instantaneous.
Examiner Jobsz has been wrestling
with the problem of the assets for a week
and it is authentically reported that he
had found them badly shrunken. To a
reporter he said:
"While I do not know exactly what the
outcome of this matter may be,s‘ili I th uk
I am justified in saying that the deposi
tors will not suffer seriously. Yel when
a thing like this occurs it lojis off 2o per
cent of the assets of the bank at one
blow.”

ject to the approval of the Cortes of the
Kingdom., as required by their emwtßa
tional duties.”
The Spanish memorandum to-day
holds that M. Gambon answered the
American objection to this by lvointing
out that tin* American's terms were
proffered subject to the approval of tin*
Americans, tint that President McKinley
replied that he did not desire to involve
the internal affairs of Spain in the pro
ceedings in hand.
The Spanish memorandum auks why,
if the United States objected to Spain’s
reservation of sovereignty, they did not
plainly say so in the protocol and leave
no room for argument.
It asks why Judge Day’s note of Au
gust 10th did not clearly declare that,
the United States would not recognize
such reservation and that the protocol
was necessary to prevent a misunder
standing on that point. It also asks why
Riil Judge Day’s note practically ascribe
the inexplicit form of Spain’s acceptance*
of the peace terms to telegraphic errors,
while the exact terms of Spain’s reserva
tion of sovereignty, as hail in Wash
ington before tin* protocol, are now be
ing quoted in tin* proceedings here.
This portion of the* Spanish memoran
dum is based ii|H>n letters written by M.
CainlHtn. at the time purporting to de
scribe interviews and transactions at
tending the peace terms and protocol.
On Saturday, the date fixed for the
next meeting, the Americans will make
their response, in tin* course* of which it
is not unlikely that the exact terms and
precise time limit of their acceptance
will be communicated.

A SOLDIER'S SENSATIONS.
“It was the big shell and shrapnel,”
said a soldier from Cuba, “that made
us hug the ground, but it was the little
Mauser bulky,* that killed our men." It
is the same in every-day life. People
shiver with panic at the mention of small
pox or yellow fever, but it is the little
disorders of the stomach that really do
the most killing. The beat medicine for
tin* stomach is Hostctter’s Stomach
Bitters. It cures indigestion and dys*
poi*du. It is just as good for women
as for men. For a run-down, debilitated
condition nothing is so good or so sure

LILY WHITES.
Republicans Talk About a New Political
Organization.
(Asheville Citizen.)
A large number of Republicans of this
wet ion are said to have come to a reali
zation of the fact that in the black ele
ment of the party they have a white
elephant on their hands. The election
brought this fact home to the party with
peculiar force. In speaking of a move
to effect a permanent white organiza
tion a Republican said the party had be
come weary of paying a large number of
negroes to register at every election, and
then either paying them to vote or al
lowing the Democrats to do so, and then
bearing the odium of being known as the
“negro party.” The plan i# to organize
clubs throughout the State, similar to
the “Lily White” organization of Geor
gia*
It is said by some that Senator Prit
chard sanctions this move, but others
deny this. Colonel Lusk says lie does
not believe in Ishmaeliting the negroes.
A number of Republicans contemplate
calling a meeting this week and effecting
the first of the proposed organizations.
