Report of War Investigators Said
to Be Practically Complete.
POOR MILITARY SYSTEM
Es~ion Says the
Secretary of “7a!“ and Other Depart—
_ meut Officials “'1“ Bo Absolved from
All Blame Unless Snlnethina New
Deveiops During Iusnecfion ot Camps.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 18.—It is de-
clared by attaches of the war investi-
gating commission that the report up-
on the war scandals is practically made
up and that the document will com-
pletely absolve Secretary Alger and
the other ofiicials of the department
from all blame connected with the mis-
management of the Santiago campaign
and of the camp horrors.
The members of the
have gone south on a. tour of inspection
of the various camps, and unless they
develop something startling and unex-
pected on the trip, their report will
clear the department' of the main
charges that have been made against
it.
An attache of the commissiOn, who
was present during the entire investi-
gation, had the following to say 011
the work of the men who had been
holding daily sessions and interrogat-
ing officers at the Lemon building in
this city.
“The examinations and statements
submitted to the commission show that‘
our military system is poor and needs
entire revision, particularly the staff
departments. The report of the com-
mission will lay much stress upon this
point, but‘unless events take a new
turn during the southern trip, 'the
commission will declare that the de-
partment is not to blame for the sick-
ness and suffering of the soldiers in
camp and during the Santiago cam—
paign. They will state that the wit—
nesses examined by them and the re-
ports of the various chiefs of the sup—
ply departments of the army failed to
show that there was negligence on the
part of the department officials to do
their full duty; that they were handi—
capped by certain conditions at the
outbreak of hostilities and that they
did the very best possible Under the
circumstances. This in effect is the
opinion of the board at this time, and
is the result of the examination of
witnesses in this city.”
It is possible that public opinion may
compel the commissioners to continue
their work after returning from the va-
rious camps, and demand that certain
men who are able to give some inter-
esting information be called upon. The
commmission has not yet summoned
Dr. Huidekoper, the veterinarian, and
a number of others whom it is thought
the public would like to have exam-
ined. It is thought, also, that an effort
will be made to have the future hear-
ings of the commission held in a. hall
large enough to admit of more persons
being present ahan is now possible in
the limited quarters in the Lemon
building.
It is claimed that the commissioners
have not been fair in their treatment
of witnesses and that had there been
more outsiders present fuller facts
would have been forthcoming. The air
about headquarters savors of anything
but a desire on the part of the com-
missioners to obtain full publicity.
Persons straying into the Lemon build-
ing are met by a. small army of door-
keepers who do their best to keep 'visi—
tors out. Signs warning persons not to
go on the third floor where the com-
mission holds forth, hang from every
wall. If one succeeds in running the
gauntlet and reaches the third floor, he
is confronted by screens that shut off
even a fleeting view of the commission-
ers and their witnesses. A man who
has been present at all hearings said:
“The investigation smacks much of
star chamber proceedings. ‘ A witness
is instantly put on the defensive and
made to feel that he is on trial. He is
kept constantly in check, and it is
practically impossible for a man to giVe
testimony on a line other than that in-
ailicated by the questioners.
A man must be fearless and determ—
fined in order to succeed in making
himself heard on any subject not men-'
lioned by the commissioners. I heard
the full testimony of Major Seaman,
and I do not consider that he got fair
treatment at all. He was ill and suf-
fering under a great mental strain. No
notice was taken of this fact and the
witness was browbeaten and harrassed
to such an extent that at last in 'self
defense he refused to answer.”
French Naval Activity.
Paris, Oct. 18.—A- semi—official note
was issued last night saying that the
reports about orders received at Tou-
lon speedily to prepare the armored
cruisers Admiral Trehouart, Bouvines;
Jammapes and Valmy for active ser-
vice, and to send as many gunners as
possible to Brest, without delay, to
man the forts and batteries there, are
. incorrect.
Rumor connected the preparations
?with the questionin dispute with Great
‘ . ,{Britain as to the possession of Fasho-
‘ "do. on the Nile.

It is added that undue importance
has been attached to the orders sent to
Toulon. '
1‘11 Make Dewey In: Admiral.
Washington, Oct. I18.—Representative
Hilborn, Republican of California, a
prominent member of the naval affairs
committee, is in “fashington. He ex-
presses the belief that Congress will
re-establish the grade of admiral of
the navy and bestow it upon Rear Ad-
miral Dewey.
The grade of vice admiral may not be
restored on account of the conflict be-
tween the partisans of Schley and
Sampson which would almost inevita-
bly result.

was saluted by the forts and the crew
of the Turkish warship Izzeden and

SEVERE STORM IN THE SOUTHWEST.
Wires Broken \at Kansas City and News
from Trains Delayed.
Kansas City, Md, Oct. 18.—-A severe
storm prevails in the southwest and
west. A heavy wet snow has been
falling since three o’clock yesterday
morning, driven by a. strong wind. The
wires are down in all directions.
The snow followed twenty-four hours
of steady rain. The sidewalks are cov-
ered three inches deep with slush.
Thgre has been a decided fall in the
temperature, and the suddenness of
the storm, coming as it has upon the
track of the summer weather, will un-
doubtedly cause great suffe1ing.espec-
ially on the ranges covered with cat-
tle.
Kansas City is
from telegraph
the west. ,
Up to eleven o‘clock yesterday not a
word had passed by wire with Topeka,
Wichita, and the points between here
and Denver. At that hour the general
conditions, while clearing up slowly,
appeared at this point to be getting
worse west of Kansas City.
The interruption of railioad traflic
was not serious. The Union Pacific.
the Santa. Fe, the Burlington and the
Missouri Pacific officials all reported
incoming trains practically on time.
Because of lack of telegraphic commu-
nication, however, the Missouri Pacific
was unable to report the condition of
their east‘ bound Colorado express. The.
same is true of all information from
the storm—ridden part of the southwest.
Until wires have been restored, the
real extent of the storm cannot be as-
certained.

Agoncillo the Philippine Agent Making
Public His Views in Paris. He Do-
clares PrOVisionnt Government Must
Determine the Future at the Philip-
pines.
Paris. 0a,} 18.—The joint peace com-
mission met at two o’clock yesterday
afternoon and sat until 3.45 o'clock.
Senor Villaurutia and Secretary Ojeda
of the Spanish commission were absent
owing to indisposition.
The session adjourned until Wednes-
day afternoon. Further information
concerning the situation is not obtain—
able.
United States Ambassador Porter
will give a dinner to the Spanish and
American commissidhers to- day.
.Whatever business difficulties may
have arisen in the official intercourse
of the Spanish and American commis-
sioners the very best personal relations
exist, and their feelings ofzgenuine
mutual esteem continue.
Philippe Agoncillo, the representa-
tive of Aguin'aldo,‘ who arrived here
late on Sunday afternoon, has engaged
apartments _ at the ‘Hotel Continental,
on the same floor as the rooms occupied
sioners, said that the Filipinos desired
independence, and that they possessed
a recognized ”government, which would
determine (the attitude towards a Uni-
ted Statesprotectorate or toward the
annexation of the islands to the United
States.
Asked whether, should the United
States take all or part of the Philip'-
pines the Filipinos would fight the Uni~
ted States or not, he replied:
“I cannot answer without possible
error; but I think it would be most un-
wise for the United States to divide
the Philippine islands. They should
take all or none.”
He said that if the United States
should give up the Philippine islands,
the Filipinos would continue to fight
the Spaniards.
The Filipinos did not object to the

peatedly sought the rights of citizen—
ship, employing all legal means, and
have risen in insurrection twelve times
in a century to secure them, and we
are now enjoying them.
“Peace is only possible under any
orders, which, as I have said, were
the chief determining cause of the
abuses and oppression, and hence the
rebellions.”
Agoncillo said that he had not come
to seek a hearing before the commis-
sion, but to learn the determination of
the commissioners regarding the Phi-
lippine islands, and to communicate it
to Aguinaldo.
Agoncillo, thus far, has not commu-
nicated with either the American or the
Spanish commission.
. Coating Station at Guantanamo.
Washington, Oct. 18.~—So far as the
navy department is concerned, noth-
ing is known of any protest from any
one in Cuba, either authorized or un—
authorized, against the establishment
of a coaling station at Guantanamo
Bay.
About a month ago Captain Good-
rich, then the senior officer on the sta-
tion, being unwilling to subject the
government to the considerable char—
ges involved in keeping coaling schoo-
ners lying in the harbor, asked permis-
,~ vsion to have the vessels land their coal
and relieve the government of the de-
murrage expense.
The department authorized him to
proceed, if he could find a tract of
land open to such use.
He did find such a tract and landed
his coal, and the department regards it
as singular that objection should' be
made to this action, in view of the fact
that the United States government now
holds all of the public buildings and
property in Santiago, Manzanillo and
other Cuban cities without objection.
The Political Betting.
New York, Oct. 18.—Tammany money
is still being placed in the Wall street
district by the stock exchange firm of
Bell 3: Co.
E. B. Talc0tt bet. $5,000 on Van Wyck

money we1e A. A. Housman & C0., $2, -
000; J. S. Bache & 00., $1,000; and M.
B. Mendham, $500.
The remainder of the $5,000 was ta-
ken in scattering lots. Mr. Talcott of-
fered to bet $1,000 to $10,000 that Van
Wyck would have seventy-five thous-
and plurality.
E. B. Talcott made one bet of $1, 000
even on Van Wyck.
J. H. Eagle bet $1, 000 even with John
J. Judge that Roosevelt would be Vic—-
torious. -
C. H. Davis of Buckhout, Davis &
C0., bet $500 even with Mr. Judge the
same way.
Rates of Ocean Postage.
Washington, Oct. 18.—Third Assist-
ant Postmaster General Merritt will

ttveen this country and Great Britain

ent rate is five cents, so that, for busi-
