Bhipload of Dead ‘Heroes
Reaches New York.
BODIES OF THOSE WHO FELL IN CUBA
The Transport Crook Arrives With
the Bodies of 686 Americans “.7110
Died For Freedom—A Unique
Event In History of Warfare.
NEW YORK, March 30.—The dead
bodies of 686 American soldiers, regu-
lars and volunteers, arrived in this har-
bor yesterday on board the United
States transport Crook. Every one of
these bodies represents a life lost for
the cause of freedom. Each one of the
dead heroes fell by bullet wounds or
dread fevers in the recent war between
the United States and Spain.
The bringing home of the dead for a
permanent resting place in the land of
their birth or adoption is looked upon
as an innovation in the world’s history
of warfare. -
In the gray mist which hung over the
lower bay yesterday morning the'Unit-
ed States transport Crook stole silently
up to quarantine station, and after be-
ing duly passed by the health officer
steamed up the bay and anchored east
of Governors Island. '
It was the intention of Quartermas-
ter Kimball and his aids to dock the
vessel at the foot of Pacific street,
Brooklyn, at once, but wind and tide
were more than the mariners in charge
could combat, and it was finally decided
not to make the dock until today, when
the bodies will at once be transferred
to their respective destinations.
Later in the afternoon a press repre-
sentative went aboard the transport
and was received by Captain Tamon,
Brigadier General Ezra P. Ewens, Unit-
ed States volunteers, and Captain J. M.
Patton. The decks of the vessel were
scrubbed clean, and the bright work
reflected the sun's rays in such a man-
ner that it was hard to believe that it
was a. funeral ship on which one was
aboard. '
Down a narrow gangway scarcely
reaching 12 feet below the main deck
the cofi‘ins were laid four deep. The
deck on which they were placed was
called the troop deck and is similarlto
what is known on a man-of—war as the
gun deck. '
Each casketwas inclosed in a. pine-
wood box, on one end of which the
name of the deceased and his regiment
was stenciled in black. letters. In addi-
tion ,to this was marked the number of
the grave, plot or trench from which
the body had been dlsinterred.
A scrutiny of the names on those
marked was an interesting study. Side
by side or piled high on top of each oth-
er were names suggesting nationalities
and races widely different as to creed,
class or color. The Celt, Saxon, Teuton,
Scandinavian and negro were mixed
in a. cosmopolitan heap. Brought to-
gether indiscriminately in death as they
had fought side by side in life for one
commop purpose, it was a lesson to
any one who was fortunate enough to
witness it, this strange conglomera-
tion of the races of the earth brought
together with the object of defending
the unyielding rights of a country
which they had chosen as the land of
their adoption. It was surely a pecul-
iar and awe inspiring mingling of the
races, united in death for one common
purpose—freedom for all.
The identification of the dead was
made by representatives of the various
regiments who took part in the battles,
and most of the bodies brOught here
yesterday were recovered from the rude
graves between El Caney and San Juan
hill.
Among the most prominent identifi’
ers Were three New England men, Ma-
jor R. A. Whipple, Adams, Mass, and
Privates J. L. Allis, Florence, Mass,
and Harry A. Wise of the SecondMas-
sachusetts regiment.
The saddest part of the ship’s burden
was the section in which were laid 110
caskets in which so many bodies lay
unidentified. These will be buried at
the National cemetery, Arlington, and
when the clay falls over their coffins
it is more than likely that the last tid-
ings of one long looked for by avfond
father, mother, sister. brother or per-
haps a sweetheart shall have been shut
out from the possibilities which the liv--
ing hope for.
Missing lib—reyfus Documents.
PARIS, March 30.——M. James, the So-
cialist leader in the chamber of depu-'
ties, in an article in the Petite Repub—
lique Francaise. says that Colonel du
Paty de Clam's explanatory notes,
which were read by the members of the
Dreyfus court martial, have been ab-
stracted from the dossier. This. he says,
was probably done by order of Premier
Dupuy for the purpose of removing the
proofs of criminal action on the part of
members of the government at the time
of Dreyfus’ trial.
Sumner Retires a Brigadier.
WASHINGTON, March 30.—The pres-
ident has appointed Colonel Edwin V.
Sumner of the Seventh cavalry to be
brigadier general in the regular army.
General Sumner will immediately retire.
and Colonel Thomas Anderson of the
Fourteenth infantry probably will be
appointed to the vacancy. Sumner was
a brigadier general of volunteers and
Anderson major general of volunteers.
Fatal Gun Explosion.
NEW YORK, March 30.—In testing a
10 inch gun, and. incidentally, a smoke-
less powder, at the United States army
proving ground, Sandy Hook, yesterday,
a. man was killed and two were seri-
ously injured. At the second test of the
gun the extraordinary pressure of more
than 75,000 pounds to the'square inch
was developed in the gun and the
breech block was blown out.

SHAMOKIN. Pa., March 30.—Ex-Con-
gressman M. H. Kulp of this place has
wired Chairman Fow of the bribery in-
vestigating committee at Harrisburg
that,he denied the charges of attempt-
ed bribery made against him by Repre-
sentative ‘Brown of Union county and
requested an early opportunity to ap-
pear before the committee.

one might and recited such portions of
the Da'ne’s sayings as he had' studied
with special care and under Shake—
spearean tutors. The good queen was.
graciously interested, and itis said that
she planned to have one of the royal
house accompany Col. Carr to Elsinore:
and point; out the path on which the
ghost walk-ed for Horatio, Marcellus
and Bernardo. _
In consideration of this, as well as
other royal favors, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean, Col. Carr reciprocated by
inviting. the court to breakfast at his
expense, and had induced the family to
accept on the promise that he would
serve hot corn muffins.
‘The. colonel is somewhat of a farmer,
and: when he went. abroad he took, in
addition to his baggage and library. sev-
eral barrels-of finecornmeal. The corn—
meal mui‘fins were servedmnd the king
and queen passed their plates several
times, for the event was quite demo-
cratic. As Col. Carr said to a friend, in
describing it: “There were no crowns
or royal robes or toggerypresent.”
Out of this breakfast came Col. Carr’s
scheme for {in American—European
maize syndicate. As the writer was in-
formed by a friend of Col. Carr, the plan
is for Col. Carr to furnish American
corn from Illinois principally, to be
'dropped in European soil, which will
sprout it. The king of Denmark is un-
derstood to have expressed his belief
that the soil of his kingdom will raise
as good corn as that of Illinois.
Whether the maize syndicate is asuc-
cess or not, Col. Carr, sitting in his
home in Illinois, will be 'able to say as
he puts his feet on the mantel of his
parlor, on which there is a beautiful
inscription:
“The. good queen of-Denmark sent me
that," for so she did. And the colonel
may add: “Cornmeal muffins did it.”

THE BEEF INQUIRY.
Conlminsnry General Eugen Tells His
Side of the Matter.
T.VASHINGTON, March 30,—The mili-
tary court appointed to inquire into
General Miles’ charges concerning the
beef supplied to the army during the
Spanish war had-former Commissary
General Eagan before it yesterday on
recall and also heard the testimony of
Rear Admiral Stewart and Paymaster
Colby of the navy and Major Black and
Captain Pomeroy. volunteer officers,
who were engaged in the commissary
service at Y‘cnce during General Miles’
Perla Rican campaign. .
General ingan’s testimony was not
startling. He stated that Messrs. Ar-
mour 6:: Co. had put in a bid to supply
beef to be preserved by a process of
their own, but that he had not consid-
ered it. He also modified a former
statement to the effect that the 24 hour
clause in the beef contract had crept in
as a clerical error, saying that in the
multitude of matters which had been
demanding his attention at the time he
had forgotten its insertion. There was,
an apparent effort on the part of: Major
Lee, representing General Miles. to
Show that Senator Hanna had sought to
influence the contracts, buth—neral Ea-
gan asserted that he did not know the
senator. and no explanation was made of
the introduction of his name. General
Eagan made frequent reference during
the giving of his testimony to the nu-
merous demands upon his time during
the war. making this condition an ex-
planation for not remembering details.
Major Black and Captain Pomeroy
gave the details concerning the condi-
tion of the beef brought to Porto Rico
on the steamer Manitoba. Captain
Pomeroy stated that of 21,000 pounds re-
ceipted for at Ponce 6,000 pounds had
been‘ condemned. They also detailed the
objections made by the men to the roast
canned beef. Major Black told of a. con-
versation with General Eagan in regard
to the refrigerated beef, in which he
quoted the latter as, saying with an
oath that he would have compelled the
men to take the beef.
Admiral Stewart and Paymaster Col-
by testified to the use of canned roast
beef in the navy.

Deputies In the Belgian Chamber
Get Fighting Mud.
BRUSSELS, March 30.—There 'were
some exciting scenes in the chamber of
deputies yesterday in connection with
the discussion of the recent expulsion
from Belgium of a former priest named
Cha‘rbon‘nel, a-native of France, whose
lectures on social-ism the authorities
consideredobjectionable. The Socialist
members interpellated the government,
and the Rightist " deputies tried to
closure the debate. This led to violent
Socialist protests, during which the
speakers attacked the king and the gov-
ernment generally, leading to much up-
roar. Eventually the president of the
chamber declared the sitting suspended,
and the Socialists and Leftists, rising in
a. body, rushed toward the Rightists,
flourishing their fists. Though actual
fighting was avoided, the uproar was
deafening. The most abusive epithets
were shouted, and the president order-
ed the galleries to be cleared. Thereup-
on the spectators appealed to the So-
cialists, who told them to remain. This
caused some of the spectators to resist
the ushers, and soldiers had to be sum-
moned to clear the galleries, resulting
in a series of exciting scuffles.
Meanwhile the deputies‘on the floor
continued to vituperate, but the house
was eventually cleared, and the sitting
was suspended for an hour, during
which M. Bethune, a. member of the
Right. and M. Journez, Socialist, ex—
changed challenges to fight a duel.
