BEFORE THEWAHBOARD
Testimony Taken at Washington
and Lexington.
SOME SHARP CRITICISMS
Major Henry Romeyn’s Observations. The
Embarkation at Tampa. Observation on
the Transport Concha. Gen. Sanger on
the Chiekamagua Camp. 5
Washington, Nov. 3.—The members
of the war inquiry commission who are
in this city held a session here yester-
day for the purpose of hearing the tes-
timony of Major Henry Romeyn, a re-
tired army officer.
His testimony covered the embarka-
tion of the troops at Port Tampa and
the campaign in Cuba. He said that
when he went to Port Tampa the bank
of the canal there was covered with
troops. g3 .15? am
He had wanted to go over with the
Tenth. infantry, which was his old
regiment, but no one could tell him
where the regiment was to 'be found. ’
He asked a stalf officer and several
others for this information, but none
knew, nor did anyone appear to know
on what vessel any of the particular
troops were to embark.
There was great confusion, as a con-
sequence of which a part of a. command
would go on one vessel and a part on
another, and the commands were in
some cases separated from their stores.
He had seen no order for the syste—
matic embarkation of troops, and he
had heard it said that they were told
to go aboard helter skelter.
When asked to express an opinion a!
to the preparations for the embarka-~
tion, the witness hesitated, saying that
to do so would involve criticism of his
superiors.
The commissioners insisted upon a
reply, and Major Romeyn replied that
hye did not think the preparation was
such as it should have been.
“There was,” he said, “a lack of surf
boats, and also of order and of prepa—
ration for landing. When the landing
was undertaken the troops left they
at
'1
09
-
ships indiscriminat-
He told of the efforts to tow tVV’J
lighters over to Cuba, but said that one
was lost and that it was the general
impression that it was lost on purpose,
because it retarded the progress of the
fleet. .. e s :3
In response to a question from Gen-
eralMcCook, Major Romeyn said that
while it was diflicuir to land anything,
ambulances and wagons could have
been lauded as easily as artillery. He
had seen only or»:- ambulance at the
front at the battle of El Caney and it
was not used'foi- conveying the woun-
ded to the rear.
Speaking of other incidents of this
battle, he said there was general sur-
prise that an inflate-d balloon had been
carried at the head. of the attacking
column, thus indicating to the Span-
iards the exact location of the troops,
but he did not know at whose orders
this had been done.
He said that the town of Siboney was
without exception the dirtiest place he
had ever seen in his life, and that no
effort was made to clean it up before
the fever broke out.
There was a deficiency of proper food
at the fever hospitals, and the cooking
was generally poor. Anyone in this
hospital was liable to contract yellow
fever. '
He had been a patient in the hos-
pital and said there had been no neglect
of patients by the medical attendants
at this hospital or at thehospitals for
the Wounded. He had known surgeons
in the latter hospitals to work sixty
hours without cessation.
“Why did they not rave more sur-
geons?” asked Colonel Denby.
The witness said that he could not
answer. _
Major Romeyn said that he had come
north as a convalescent, with many
other convalescents, on the transport;
Concha, and he criticised the provis-
ioning of the vessel in severe terms.
Many of the men were compelled to
sleep on board without blankets or
pillows, and with no covering at night
except the cotton uniform they wore
during the day.
“The water was offensive to both
sight and smel ,” he said, “and the food
was poor and scant, none being pro—
vided espeCially for convalescents. The
meat was calmed and inferior, and
much of the hard tack moulded.”
He said that there was only one phy-
sician aboard the vessel, and that he
was a convalescent. ’
General Wilson, ex-Governor Beaver
and Captain. Howell will go to Camp
Meade to-day for the purpose- of ill--
specting that camp.
Lexington, Ky., Nov. 3.——The first
witness before the war inquiry com-
mission yesterday was General Joseph
P. Sanger, who has had command of
the Third division here.
He said the Second division camp at
,Chickamauga was badly located, be-
ing on rocky ground, where sinks could
not be deeply dug.
' When asked why the quartermaster’s
department could not furnish supplies
necessary for supplying the army, he
said:
“The complex system of furnishing;
supplies to our army is at fault. If
there was one department to supply
all wants of, the army there would be
no clash and these complications could
not arise. At Chickamauga the control.
of my division hospital was taken from
me, and taken by the chief surgeon
of the corps.” "
The general then went on to tell
about the complex system of our war
regulations, the taking away of regi-
mental surgeons, and the mismanage-
ment which led up to the overcrowding
of the division hospital, and the great
spread of typhoid.
He said he considered the weak point
in Camp Thomas was its bad sanitary
condition.
General. Sanger was followed by Co'-
onel E. A. Godwin of the Seventh 1m,-
muncs, who declared he had no trouble
in securing what was needed.
Only one other witness will be ex-
amined here, Major Cruze, quarter-
master at Camp Hamilton.
The commission left for Cincinnati
at 2.50 p. m.

THE HOOLEY SCANDALS AGAIN. f
I'he Est-Promoter Creates More Sensation I
by Stories of Payments.
London, Nov. 3.The examination 0!
Mr. Ernest Terah Hooley in bankruptcy
proceedings was resumed yesterday.
Mr. Hooley created a sensation by as-
serting that he paid Sir William Mar-
riott one thousand pounds for intro-
ducing him to the Carlton Club, and
asserting later that he paid ten thou-
sand pounds to the Marquis of Aberga-
venny, a prominent conservative, for
party funds. . -°
The witness did not know whether
the money reached the party fund or
not.
Subsequently Mr. Hooley explained
that he paid the Marquis of Aberga-
venny five thousand pounds first, and
then paid him a second five thousand
because he was told that he had prom-
ised ten thousand.
“But," the witness interjected, "that
was a lie!”
Continuing, Mr. Hooley testified that
he paid one thousand pounds to Mr.
Frank .Harris, editor of the Saturday
Review, “to square a man named
Blake, who threatened to publish
something antagonistic to the compa-
nies.”
The witness said that Mr. Harry
Marks, editor of the Financial News.
and a member of Parliament, induced
him to invest 22,000 pounds in purchas-
ing the London Sun.
Mr. Hooley asserted that he never
received a. penny from this invest-
ment.
Mr. Hooley also testified that he
paid 200 pounds to C. D. Rose of the
Daily Mail.
The witness explained that he could
not allot Rose the shares that he wan-
ted, and so he gave him the money in-
stead.
London, Nov. 3.—Martin Rocker, a
former promoter of bicycle companies,
who was charged with contempt of
court in endeavorng to induce Mr. Er-
nest Torah Hooley, the bankrupt com-
pany promoter, to alter evidence that
reflected upon the Ilumber Company
directors, has been fined two hundred
pounds and costs and ordered to pay
the money or go to prison.
Mr. Hooley declared that Rucker, in
behalf of four directors of the Humber
Company, offered him five thousand
pounds to change some of the evidence
presented in the bankruptcy proceed-
ings.

key, and especially the friendship ex-
isting between the Sultan and myself,

CI'IINA’S DETHRON ED EMPEROR.
Young Chinese Ruler Was Very
Unfortunate.
The young emperor of China, whose
downfall has set all the world to talk-
ing, came to the throne on the death
of the late emperor, Tung Ci, Janu-
ary 22, 1875. He is now 27 years old
and is the son of Prince thun, the
seventh brother of tlhe emperor Hien
Feng. When he became emperor the
young Chinese ruler assumed the
name of Kwangsu or Kuang Hsn.
(It should be said that Chinese names
are spelled phonetically and in render-
ing them into English letters there is
no rule to be followed.) The present.
dow'ager empress. who is the aunt,
and not the stepmother or Kwangsu,
herself selected the prince for the
throne when the taste emperor died.
Although nominally in control of the
government, .Kwangsu did not take
full charge of Chinese affairs until
1889.
Kwangsu is the ninth emperor of
China of the Manchu dynasty, which
has furnished all its emperors to the
country since the overthrow of the
Ming dynasty in 1644. There is no
hereditary succession, and it is left
to each sovereign to name the ruler
who is to follow. The choice is made
from among the members of the im-
perial family of a younger generation
than his own. The present “son of
heaven,” it is said, is a weak—minded
young man, who dreamed big dreams
of making China the equal of any of
the civiliz‘ed nations of Europe. His
desire was to introduce steam power
into the country, develop the resour-
ces of his domain, build railroads, open
mines and accomplish other works of
this kind for his people. His good
aunt, however, put a stop to all thud:
and new -rules the ruler with a hand
of iron.
The
This young man has been unfortu- '
nate even since he ascended the
throne. He had been declared em-
peror but a short time when the im-
perial temple itself was struck by
lightning. The priests and medicine
men declared that 'the gods were of-
fended at some hidden sin, and the
keepers of the temple were beheaded.
But all this did not help the weak
young ruler. Mistake after mistake
was made in the government, and the
grand disaster of. the war with Japan
came us a climax of climxes. China
is split up into political factions that
hate one another bitterly, and the poor
emperor was dragged hit-her and
thither until he was out last dragged
bodily from the throne.
All llIust Pay Board.
. When members of the Queen’s fam-
ily or any wandering German relativs
of high Idegree visit London and oc—
cupy apartments in Buckingham pal—
ace, "by invitation,” they pay their
board just like common folks in a first
class hotel. This prevents the sover-
eign lady from having too much com»
pany and makes things very pleasant
for the palace servants. The inde-
pendence it gives of some of the royal
guests is not wholly appreciated by
them, but, as the Queen early in her
reign determined on this economical
course, her subjects cannot justly com-
plain of her extravagance. It is a
very expensive piece of pleasure being
a. guest of royalty, and even the
Queen’s own children must pay their
way out of their allowances when not
directly under mamma’s root—Boston
