WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.— Secretary
Root has addressed the following let

of the Committee on Military 'Affairs:
"Sir: I inclose a letter from Briga
dier General Tasker H. Bliss calling
attention to the report of his. recent
testimony before your committee 'as a
witness regarding certain objections to
the confirmation of General Wood. It
appears that the press reports of Gen

contrary of what he in fact; testified.

the report that he strongly opposed the
admission without payment of duty "of

General Wood to admit said silver ser

most positively under oath that neither

through any subordinate, nor from any
person Whatever, had he received even
an intimation as to the remission of

DECLARES AGAINST UNIONS.
During the hearing- to-day Senator
Hanna made a formal request of the
committee that General Wiood be sub
penaed to come hc-me from the Philip
pines, in order that he may answer the
charges against him and that he may
be questioned concerning his actions in
Cuba.
city. He said that there was still due
his company the sum of $8000 on con
tracts and that Cuban officials in Ha
vana swore the money was paid to
General Wood to discharge the indebt
edness. Morrison said he believed that
General Wood received that money.
Dr. Hamilton left his home at Point
Richmond yesterday morning, and his
demeanor at that time gave no indi
cation of the fatal purpose then evi
dently possessing his mind, for he bade
his wife good-by with wonted cheer
fulness. Nor was there anything in
his manner to cause suspicion on the
part of the young woman attendant
whom he greeted when he entered his
waiting room in the Parrott building.
He passed at once into his private of
fice, and when one of his patients called
the attendant tapped at his door, but
received no response, and suggested
that the patient wait until he should
be disengaged.
Soon afterward Dr. Gere, who shared
his office accommodations, entered and
also sought admission to Dr. Hamil
ton's room, but his knock upon tlift
door was equally fruitless. Then he
opened the door, and saw his associate
lying upon a lounge, seemingly uncon
scious and with the gray death shad
ows gathering upon his face. Dr. Gere
realized at once that it was a case of

After writing three letters — one to his
wife, one to his fellow practitioner. Dr.
George G. Gere, and one to the Coro
ner—Dr. Hamilton took the deadly poi
son, lay down upon a lounge and
awaited death. When discovered he
was beyond hope of resuscitation. Tlie
letters were as follows:
After sixty-seven years of sturdy
fighting in the life-battle, achieving
more than ordinary triumph and ac
quiring a fair share of, the material
spoils, Dr. John W. Hamilton, one of
the best-known physicians in Califor
nia, deliberately ended his career yes
terday morning'by swallowing" cyanide
of potassium crystals. The suicide took
place in his office in the Parrott build
ing, and every phase of It reflected pre
meditation and desire to preclude post
mortem misconstruction of the motive.

"I shall becrin the season," he an
nounced, "with such and such a part:
and after that I shall appear as Ham
let."
"Uml" drawled Irving. "As— eh —
Kamlet. did you say?"
The other, incensed by the tone of the
query, bridled up at once.
"Do you think. Sir Henry." he de
manded, indignantly, "that you are the
only man who can play Hamlet?"
"Oh, no," rejoined Irving blandly;
It is also related that a brother actor,
famous for his pomposity and inor
dinate ambition, was regaling Irving
with » forecast of his plans for tn« fu
ture.
On one occasion Sir Henry Irving's
company, haying been called to the
theater for rehearsal, arrived there
ihead of time. As Sir Henry had not
yet come one of the actors in the com
pany, who was noted for his accom
plishments as a mimic, proceeded to
give .i lively and elaborate imitation
cf Sir Henry's highly characteristic
acting. As he finished his demonstra
tion a well-known voice came from the
depths of the darkened auditorium:
"Very grood." it Faid. "Very good, in
deed: So good, in fact, that there is no
need for both of us in the same com
pany."
Told of Sir Henry.
Besides the widow, he leaves a
daughter, Mrs. Ve.ra HIggins, M. D.,
of -Sterling, Butte County, and a
son who -Is believed to be in Arizona.
About a month ago he made his will
bequeathing all his real and personal
property to his wife, and a few, days
ago he transferred all his worldly, be
longings to her name.
Beyond occasionally complaining of
gastronomic derangement and inability
to sleep. Dr. Hamilton never said"; or
did anything to Indicate morbidity of
mind. Indeed his associates 'regarded
him as a man that relished fully the
Jeys of living.
In respect to the memory of Profes
sor Hamilton, the California Medical
College yesterday adjourned till' next
Thursday, and a committee ; of -stu
dents was appointed to assist* in tbe
obsequies.
For many years he lived at the
Windsor Hotel-in this city, but about
two weeks ago he moved to "Point
Richmond and took up his residence
at the Critchett Hotel. He had sev
eral talks with Thomas McMahon, the
proprietor of the hotel, about pur
chasing the lease of the premises. He
explained that he desired to reside in
Richmond and travel "back and' forth
to his office in San Francisco each
day, and he thought he might be
able to conduct the hotel In connec
tion with his practice.
On Friday he delivered to Mr. Mc-
Mahon a check to bind the purchase
of the lease, said that he would proba
bly make arrangements to purchase
the property as well as the lease and
asked Mr. McMahon to see if an ex
tension of ten years could not be had
upon the property. He agreed to pay
the balance upon the property last
night and take possession after dinner
last evening.

"In the mechanical branches of the
city's service," said the Mayor, "where
the employe is simply a workingman,

HARRISON' CALLS A HAI/T.
General Brooke said to-day that Gen
eral Wood ignored that order and went
on spending public money without au
thority from the Military Governor.
General Brooke was asked whether
he had withdrawn the revenues from
Santiago for expenses elsewhere. He
answered that Santiago had received
all its own revenue and more than
$200,000 additional.
Morrison, a lawyer of New York, tes
tified that he was Interested in the.
Electrozone Company of Havana and
that his company received; contracts
from General Wood for disinfecting the
WOOD IGNORES THE ORDER.
La Fontise said that in May, 1900, a
convict from Florida named Johnson
came to him and said that he had seen
Bellairs and General Wood together at
the races in Havana, and that he rec
ognized and spoke to Bellairs, who
mentioned to him to keep silent. Ac
cording to Johnson's story, as told by
La Fontise. Bellairs excused himself
and met Johnson, asking: him to remain
quiet concerning his criminal record.
After this incident, testified La Fon
tise, General Wood sent for him and
asked what he knew of Bellairs' rec
ord. La Fontise said he told General
Wood of his talk with Johnson and also
what he had learned from other per
sons from Florida. That was in June,
1900, and, according to La Fontise, Gen
eral Wood then asked him to see John
son and ascertain whether he would
leave Cuba and remain away if his pas
sage were paid to New York and money
given. Johnson answered:
"Why do I want to leave? I have too
good a thing here bleeding Bellairs."
La Fontise returned to General Wood
and gave him Johnson's answer. La
Fontise said that later Bellairs and
General Wood went to New York.
GENERAL BROOKE RECALLED.
When General Brooke was before the
committee two weeks ago he referred
to two orders, one Issued by the War
Department ar.d the other by himself
to carry the first into effect, which he
was unable at that time to furnish.
He went on the stand to-day to pre
sent the orders and undergo an ex
amination concernins them.
The order issued by the War Depart
ment directed that an funds collected
in the provinces of Cuba should be sent
to the military auditor at Havana. The
charge was made that the order had
been issued by direction of General
Brooke for the purpose of getting hold
of the funds collected at Santiago, and
to deprive that province of its own
revenue. The newspapers at Santiago
were particularly bitter. General
Brooke told the Military Affairs Com
mittee that the ordeh was issued at a
time when he was sick in bed and that
he had had no previous knowledge con
cerning it.
The other order filed with the com
mittee to-dav was one that the wit
ness issued after his recovery. It di
rected General Wood, in command of
the province of Santiago, not to make
expenditures for public purposes in ex
cess of $10,000 a month without first
submitting the question to the Military
Governor.
AVOOD SHIELDS BELLAIRS.
In addition to corroborating Dr.
Fishers testimony La Fontise. told, of
•*^2}15 n I!£ r _i n . .'which he had learned jof
Kellairs* character and swore also that
General Wood knew all about it. He
said he learned from persons who went
to Havana from Florida that Bellairs
had served five years in Florida con
vict camps— three years in one and two
in another. The crime of which he had
been convicted was forgery on a branch
of the Bank of England.
J. O. La Fontise, city editor of the
Jacksonville (Fla.) Times-Union, cor
roborated the testimony given by Dr.
Fisher. He said that before General
Wood and Dr. Fisher started on their
trip to the Isle of Pines the latter in
structed him (La Fontise) to write the
article concerning Bellairs. La Fontise
said he took the question under consid
eration and decided that as the matter
would be highly sensational and in case
of a libel suit it would be necessary to
summon witnesses from the United
States to prove the charges he would
not print the article. He said that when
Dr. Fisher returned he was greatly agi
tated and asked:
"You did not print that article, I
hope?"
When Dr. Fisher learned that the ar
ticJe was not printed he was gTeatly re
lieved and said General Wood did not
want it used.
CORROBORATES DR. FISHER.
Dr. Fisher testified that he told Gen
eral Wood all he had learned of the
character of Bellairs and that he had
offered to General Wood to produce
witnesses who could prove Bellairs to
be indecent morally. He said that
General Wood told him he did not care
to kxow anything about the stories;
that all he asked was that they not be
printed in Havana.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 14.— When the
Senate Committee on Military Affairs
to-day resumed Its investigation of
charges against General Leonard
Wood Dr. C. E. Fisher of Chicago told
the story of General Wood's intimacy
with Bellairs and attempted to show
that General Wood knew of Bellairs'
bad record. Dr. Fisher said that in
September, 1900, he accompanied Gen
eral Wood on a trip to the Isle of
Pines and there told him of an article
which he had ordered printed In the
Havana Post exposing Bellairs. The
witness said that General Wood told
him he did not want the story printed
and it was not used.
