Eight Thousand Inhabitants Lose Their Spanish Cila- zenship. Washington, Oct. 19.—The Stars and Stripes are now flying over Porto Rico, and the United States is in formal as well as actual possession of the island. The news was b10115, ht to this city in the following ilspatch 1ecered at the war department from General Brooke, chairman of the evacuation commis— sion: San Juan, Porto Rico, Oct. 18. Secretary of War, Washington: Flags have been raised on public buildings and forts in this city and sa- luted with national salute. The occu- pation of the island is now complete BROOKE, Chairman. No new instructions have been issued by General Brooke to guide him in gov— erning the new island possession of the United States. He will make as little change as pos- sible in the existing government until President McKinley returns to Wash- ington and approves a. plan of admin- istration of affairs there. General Brooke’s authority will be supreme for the present. He is to all intents and purposes the governor of. the island, but nominally he is the ma~ jor general commanding the military department of Porto Rico. His powers will be similar to those exercised by Brigadier General Leonard Wood at Santiago. The collection of revenue, the preser- vation of the public health, the issue of privileges and all such civil matters will be included in his duties, and in addition he will have control of all the United States troops. The Porto Ricans will be made to feel the military control of the island as lit- tle as possible, and it is in ntended by the administration that civil affaiis shall proceed without disturbance ex- cept where it is necessary to correct abuses that existed under the Spanish regime. ’ In View of the fact that with the ac— quisition of Porto Rico by the United .States, about eight hundred thousand inhabitants of that island lost their Spanish citizenship, the question as to what shall become of these people po- litically, becomes of great importance at this time. Madrid advices report that leading citizens in Porto Rico have already ta~ ken steps to become naturalized, as United States citizens, is an error, for existing laws provide no way in which this change in citizenship can be ef— fected by the residents of the island. There is no United States court there before which a. declaration of intention can be filed, and in fact no machinery at all which can be put in motion to change Citizenship. Long Voyage from 1112111113. New York, Oct. 19. —The American clipper ship Great Admiral, Captain Sterling, ar'rived from Manila via Hong Kong, and anchored at Quarantine to await the visit of the health officer. Prior to the’ breaking out of hostili- ties, Captain Sterling says that his ship was lying in the harbor of Manila, and every effort was made to stow away the cargo in order to sail for home. A record of six days had been made in stowlng 8630 bales of hemp, when orders came for the vessel to sail, as war had broken out. ‘ .I - .» Twenty- four hours’ notice was given, although at first the authorities tried to hold the ship. The Great Admiral got to sea April 24, but was overtaken next day by the Spanish gunboat Manila, but Captain Sterling had a letter from the Spanish port admiral permitting him to pro— ceed, and the gunboat could not act under 24 hours. “I hoisted the flag, ” said the captain. “and gave him the slip during the night, and made Hong Kong, where I remained until it was evident that I could not sail for homewith safety.” -———"‘—'-—"" I. 2", Afrikander Bond’s Policy, London, Oct. 19.—A dispatch to the Times from Cape Town says that Mr. W. P. Schreiner, the new premier and leader of the Afrikander Bund, made a statement of the policy of the new co— lonial government in the Cape Assem- bly yesterday. ~ The government, he said, would rec- ognihe the independence of the South African republic and work harmoni- ously with them, leaving external rela- tionships with them to be dealt with by the British high commissioner, whom the government would support in the development of South Africa. The government would also carry forward a bill for a new customs con- vention with the South African repub— lies and introduce a. proposal for a con— tribution on the part of the colony to . ; the British navy. Gales Sweep the British Coast. London, Oct. 19.—Fierce equinoctial gales are raging along the coasts of Great Britain, and causing considera- ble havoc among shipping. ._ The Dover and Calais packets were stopped yesterday. Several schooners have ben wrecked, but their crews were saved by life boats. The vessels of the Northern coast line have been damaged considerably by the gales. The violence of the gale on the Had- dingtonshire coast of Scotland has not been equalled since 1881. Life boats are in readiness and few :lives have been lost. . - Seized by Bailifi's. , V Berlin, Oct. 19.—The German steam yacht Heligoland, having on board the members of Herr Theodor Lerner’s Arcticexpedition, which recently retur- ned from Spitzbergen after a search for the missing acronaut, Herr Andree, has reached Geestemunde, where bai—- lifts seized the Whole outfit, including the scientific collections made during the voyage, on account of an unpaid debt of the firm which fitted out the 'vessel. . - THE WAR INVESTIGATION- Dr. Mans Says There: Was No “Suffering AmnngtheSick. Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 19.—The war investigating commission began the examination of witnesses at Jackson- ville yesterday, using the office room. of General Dodge’s private car for.th~'. purpose. Colonel Louis M. Maus, chief surgeon ‘of the Seventh army corps, was the first witness sworn. He said there was only a. small field hospital when he ar- rived in May, and there were very few sick men. Sickness developed very slowly and there was very little of ii until July. 'When the order came f01 the establishment of division hospital: there was some delay in getting sup- plies, such as tents. There was no suf- fering among the sick. Still they did not have the luxuries that they did at the beginning of the war. . “Nor, ’ added the doctor, “do I think that the history of the world has ever seen a parallel to our present care 01 the sick.” . Taking up the present condition of the hospitals he said there were three hundred trained nurses now at work here. He said the employment of these nurses had proven satisfactory. Replying to a quesrlon, Dr. Mans said that after the first few days there had been no refusal of supplies and that all requisitions had been filled with excep- tional promptitude. He had never seen such an utter disregard of expense in caring for sick soldiers. of fact the troops had a greater allow— ance of rations than they could use or dispose of in any way. He also said that the Red Cross So— ciety had given so much that it was often unnecessary to ask the govern— ment for supplies. There had been no restriction in the matter of fitting our the camps. He thought typhoid had been intro— duced to the camp by Mississippi and Virginia troops. Shallow wells and surface drainage had done much to increase the scourge, but he was confi— dent that the regular water supply 01' the city had not been 111 any way re— sponsible for it. He also thought the flies had done much to disseminate fever. From the beginning very strict attention had been given to the sinks. He had never in his life seen such attention given to sanitation in a camp, but despite this care typhoid did break out and had become the principal sickness here. Dr. Mans said that he had found it difficult to prevail upon surgeons in the volunteer service to learn the duties of their position. As a matter of fact these duties were extremely onerous, and for this reason the volunteer phy— sicians were not so efficient as they should have been. Later on sanitation became the pun cipal duty of everybody about the camp. Much trouble has been experi- enced in keeping the public from the hospitals. In many cases they had s_ur- reptitiously carried food to the sick. Mr. Maus also dwelt upon the newspa— per reports of the sufferings in the camp,‘ saying that they had generally grown out of exaggerated statements from the men themselves. The Yellow Fever Epidemic. \Vashington, D. C., Oct. 19.—A dis- patch to the marine hospital service from Franklin, La., reports seven new cases of yellow fever there. Jackson, Miss, Oct. 19.—Jackson's re» port of new cases of yellow fever yes-- .terday was unusually large, the total being filiteen. There were no deaths. The board of, health’s official latest report for the state is as follows: Madison—One new death. Poplarvillea—Four new cases. Starksville—No new cases in days. Taylors—No new cases. Harrison—Three new cases. Yazoo City——Five cases and two .9119» picious. Natchez—Two cases. Meridan—Two cases. Canton—One case. case and one four Hattiesbm g—Four new cases and one death. Waveland—One new case. The board has issued an order re-‘ scinding the order dated August 17, quarantining Mississippi against Key West, Fla. Spain Claims Damages Madrid, Oct. 19.—The Heraldo says that the minister of marinehas taken preliminary steps to claim damages from the Creusot gun foundries of France for not delivering within time certain war material orde1ed from them. Damages will also be claimedIfrom the Placenia arms factory for the same. reasons, and the British firm of Thomp- sons, the Clydebank shipbuilders, will be asked to pay damages upon the ground that the torpedo boat destroyers built in their yards for Spain failed to develop the speed required by the terms of the contract. A Leave of Absence Ruling Washington, Oct. 19.—An order which will greatly relieve the'minds of the families of ocers detailed to duty in the Philippines is bulletined whereby leaves of absence granted to such offi— cers are to date from the day of their arrival in the United States, and will "a considered as terminating on the ‘ute _of departure from this country to 'z'eturn to their commands. Any other rule, of course, would greatly limit such leaves of absence. as the time spent on the ocean voyag‘n each way would have to be deducted from the total period allowed. Gov. Voorhees’ Resignation " Trenton, N. J.. Oct. 19.—Acting gov- ernor Voorhees yesterday sent a tele- gram from Philadelphia, saying that his resignation as senator from Union county is on the way to the office of the secretary of state. Speaker Watkins, who will become acting governor when the formal re- signation of Mr. Voorhees shall have been received, came to Trenton to take the oath of office. .5 . Reward of 20,000 Offered. Paris, Oct. 19.—The Dowager Duch- ess of Sutherland has offered a reward of $20,000 for the recovery. of the jeWels. said to be valued at $150,000, contained in a. satchel which she lost on board a . train bound for Calais while on her way to London.

Seve-_ ral LIass Elections in the Afternoon Addresses Given by President Peck, Judge Speel and Others. ‘ Chicago, ‘Oct. 19. —Eight thousand persons, packed within the walls of the Auditorium building yesterday, Wit- nessed the formal opening exercises of the national peace jubilee. All that had preceded this meeting was merely preliminary, and most of it had been in honor of the president personally. The weather was cold and damp, with lowering skies, and a raw wind blowing off the lake. The crowd was closely packed around the building ful- ly an hour before the doors were open. The people came rapidly, and long be- for ether commencement of the 'exer- cises the great hall! was filled from pit to dome. The exeicises opened with a shmt add1ess by Chairman Charles Truax of the jubilee committee, at .the conclu- sion of which «he introduced the pro. siding officer, George R. Peck. After. Mr. Peck had finished his ad- dresshe introduced MaYor Harrison‘ of Chicago, Who delivered the formal ad~ dress of welcome'to President McKin- ley and the strangers who had come to Chicago to witness the ceremonies of jubilee week. The president, who received a most enthusiastic welcome as he entered the building, made no formal reply to the address of welcome, notwithstanding the loud calls for a speech. Judge Emory Speer of Georgia de- livered a long oration on the Subject of the troubles which Spain had caused us as a neighbor, beginning with the meeting of Georgians and Spaniards at Bloody Marsh in 1742. He brought out the incompatibility of the temperament of t 1c Ameiican and the Spaniard as a reason why they could not remain neighbors in peace. The final passages of his oration were an impassioned arraignment of Spanish cruelty towards the Cubans, and trea- chery in the destruction of. the Maine, and a portrayal of the terrible retribu- tion administered by the arms of the United States at Manila and Santid» g0 ‘12. During the afternoon fi re meetings were held in different parts of the city. A large meeting at Studebaker Hall was addressed by Albert K. Blev- e11dge of Indianapolis and President Cyrus Northiop of the University of Minnesota. At the Columbia theatre Gen. Miles, General Duflield of Detroit and Booker T. \Vashington addressed an audience limited only by the size of the thea- tre. . At the First Regiment Armory Sec- retary Wilson and Mayor Rose of Mil- waukce compiised the list of speak- as. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, spoke at the Second Regiment Armory. Charles Emory Smith delivered an address at the North Side Turner Hall. The public schools, all of which were properly decorated, devoted the day to jubilee exercises and to hearing ad- drcOSes by prominent educators and orators. General Henry M. Duf‘field of Detroit made an address, in which he empha- sized the point that the future of our military establishment should have the utmost intelligent study. He discussed the questions: -What shall be its personnel? How shall it be organized, instructed and disciplin- ed? How shall it best be equipped, ra- tioned and supplied in the field? His suggestions, he said, were made without any intention to criticise or discredit the operations of the late war. ‘ Interest centered in the ball at the Auditorium, where the president and representatives of the cabinet, the ar- my and navy and the diplomatic corps were received. The president also visited the blue jacket ball at Medinah Temple, and shook hands with the sailors who war there with their friends. Gen. Sternbarg’s Denial. Washington, D. C., Oct. 19.—Surgeo;. General Sternberg has sent a letter if: the war investigating board regarding ’his attitude towards the Red Cross and other relief organizations. He says the charges that he had re- fused to accept the assistance of the Red Cross Society in the care of our sick and wounded soldiers are without foundation, except in so far as he had objected to the sending of women nur- ses with troops in the field engaged in active operations. - He says he was of the opinion that women nurses would be an incumb— rance to the troops during active oper- ations, but so soon as serious sickness developed in our camps and it became necessary to treat typhoid fever cases in our field hospitals, he gladly accept- ,ed the services of the trained women .-.‘or the division field hospitals, and in our general hospitals they wen: employed fmm the first.- The general testimony from the sur— “oons in charge of these hospitals, he ates, has been that their services zavc been of great value. and he de- sires to express his high appreciation of the Valuable services rendered to the medical department of the army by this organization.
