I had Eczem of the scaly, itchy kind seven _
years. I thought my face and arms were
afire. My face was full of large white scales,
and my head was full of sores. I was ashamed
to co in company. I took five bottles of CUTI-
cunn Resonvnzvr, washed with CUTICU'BA
Soar, put on CUTICURA (ointment), and found
great relief instantly, and got a. clean face
again, thanks to CUTICURA.

W'ashington, Nov. 8.——Vice Chairman
Denby of the war investigating corn-
mission, on returning to Washington in
advance of the commission, took the
testimony of Major Generals Lawton
and Abner R. Chaffce.

General Chaffce’s testimony was

typewritten, and is now given out for .

publication.

General Chaffee was a lieutenant col—
onel in the Third cavalry, but in May
last he was made a brigadicr general,
and. at Tampa was placed in command
of the Seventh, Twelfth and Seven-
teenth regiments of infantry.

Vlv’hcn he arrived at Port Tampa he I

was ordered to embark his men on the
Cherokee and Iroquois.
ed that the capacity of the boats had
been overestimated and it was found
necessary to load three companies on
the I). H. Miller. . ’

There was a. little delay
Tampa, caused by a report that Spa—
nish ships had been seen in the channel
north of Cuba.

General Chaffee remarked that he
was ignorant of his destination when
he left Tampa. The order of the com-
manding general of the Fifth corps (ll--
rccted him to take ten days’ travel ra-
tions, ufficient to last until June 8.
The delay in Tampa bay had not been
accounted for, and .when the trans~
ports arrived off Santiago on June 20,
the Supply of food was short in some
instances, thongh the rations had not
been entirely consumed.

General Chaffee said that he thought
that all the transports going to Cuba
were overloaded, but not harmfully
so.

“Did the men actually suffer for ra-
tions?” asked Colonel Denby.

“No, sir,” Gen. Chaffee replied.

. “As to the medical attendance on the
transports, how was that?”

“The regimental surgeons were there
with their panniers. The men were
well attended."

General Chaffee described the land—
ing of the troops. The boats from the
navy were to assist, but the only boats
he saw were the steam launches and
ordinary open boats. He thought the
navy should have handled the boats.
The surf was very high and beat the
boats considerably. After a landing
was made the troops went into camp.
They had shelter tents.

“I also cleared a position for the ar-
tillery. On the 30th General Lawton.
General ,Ludlow, Colonel Miles and my-
self went out over the roads, and on
this occasion General Lawton assigned
to each brigade commander the place
at which he was to arrive. that night.
We all moved out and bivouacked for
the night. .

Early on June 24 he marched his
command to the vicinity of General
Lawton’s camp and was ordered to go
to the assistance of General Wheeler.

Ie saw a dispatch from General Whee-
ler saying that he had met with a lar»
ger force than he expected and asked
for aid. He pushed forward, but on
arriving found the engagement over
and the Spaniards in retreat. This was
the battle of Las Guisamas.

“‘On June 28, 29 and 30,” said Gen—
eral Chaffee, “I did considerable recon-
noitering. Twelve hundred Cubans had
reported for that service and outpost

duty. There were men there who knew
'every trail in the country, and they .
were of great service to me. I opened

the road toward Caney so that the ar-
tillery could pass. The road was simply
a mule track at first.

“General Lawton gave instructions
that my brigade should attack Cancy
from the eastward. On July 1 I sent
the Twelfth infantry to my left and
I conducted the Seventh and lfievcn—
tecnth by a roundabout road. joining
the Twelfth infantry about 7 o’clock.
There were six block houses around
Cancy.”

General Chaffee said that he had only
one battery of artillery. That knocked
a. stone fort to pieces, but there was
1101: sufficient artillery to demoralize the
2'27Il‘i‘13\’.‘-l’l.

“Why did you not have more artil-
lcry 1’" asked Colonel Denby.

“Well, it had not been landed,” Gen- ,

:r i’. Chafi‘cc replied. “I suppose,. per—
li-ips it was; my own fault. The place
turned out much stronger than I had
wry idea of. I lost fifty officers and

“m- n kilicd and 146 wounded.

"Ville-n you took Caney, General
but did you find?”
“1 found them dead and wounded.
Thu Spaniards lost very heavily. What
usrrc not killed, wounded or captured
'3: r)‘;"’l';‘d to have retreated to the rav-
VVo got 833 prisoners.”
ilcfciiing to the American wounded
mid they lay directly in front, of
t‘n‘ town. “A man could not raise his
l“““.d without it being shot,” be con—
;lr.usd. “The fire of the Spaniards was
wry accurate. The American wounded
were taken just below the slope of the
lull and attended by the surgeons.
There was one regurgntal surgeon to n
gin--112. and no ambulancces, but
there were hospital corps men there
with each surgeon. One surgeon to a
regiment is not enough for a battle. In
my opinion there should never be less
than one surgeon to 400 men, which
Would be one surgeon to a. battalion.
Colonel Denby inquired whose busi-
ness it was to see that enough surgeons
were provided, and General Chaffec
said he did not know whether the med-
ical director of the Fifth corps had
been told that there was going to be a
battle, or whether General Shafter had
instructed the medical department to
nakc provision. -
Speaking of commissary supplies, the
general testified that at no time was
his brigade without food. Rice would
maize an “excellent food for men in Cu-
ba. he said, but it could not be taken
into battle. I-Iis men had the field ra-

Referring agaln to the, wounded the
wraz‘said that he believed that ev-
v'y‘ soldier of his brigade was properly
ttended to before nightfall. There was

Speaking of the health ofthe arm:

aftertho fall of Santiago, Gcnert”
haffce said:

“It is important to. understand that

the army was forced to operate in :1
. sea of brush so big}: and so thick as to
= exclude the circulation of air. The mix:
Vhad to sleep in this brush and this was
icontinually poisoning" the men with
micsma. Afh‘r the surrender the sol-
,dicrs fell sick very rapidly with mala—
,rial fcvcr. ’l‘here were over two hun-
idrcd sick in lhc Seventh infantry, in
,\'.l'1i(-h it was alleged that yellow fir-:3;-
gexistcd, but this I do not credit. I b..-
: licvc that the a .ticipated sickness was
“much less than what actually resulted.
gProvision was made for about ten to
[fifteen per cent, when there was about
l forty or fifty per cent. ill."
At Inimitauk everything was being
Idonc for the sick. There were a nrni-
men in all lhc regiments fir-J.
'wcrc ill. These men were held in the
camps of the. regiments. Many .‘
worse in camp and at; fast as provision
could be made they were transferred
to the general hospital. The hospitals
were excellent, and every provision
and care that was necessary for 0.1ch
men, I believe was given them.”

In concluding, General Chaffee said
he thought that the supply of medi-
cines for the army in Cuba. was inade-
quate. There was also a scarcity o
the light food necessary for fcvcr pa
tients and convalescents.

“If I were to express my opinion ir
a nutshell on the whole situation." ll"
declared, “I would say that the lot.“
of medical supplies and of the net-cs.
sary light food for fever patients was
the only thing regrettable.”

THE WRECKED WARSHIPS.

 

N0 Dior-e Govei-nnlent Efforts to Raise

Them.

Washington, D. 0., Nov. 8.——Captaiu
Chester’s decision to abandon the work
of wrecking the Cristobal Colon marks
the end of that undertaking on the
part of the government. It is said a:
the navy department that the captain
was directed to stop the work when in

his discretion it was no longer profitv

able.

Because the contract with the wrec-
king company has been terminated it
does not follow that all idea. has been
abandoned of saving some of the sun-
ken Spanish warships.

The navy department is ready to en-
gage with thoroughly , responsible
wrecking concerns, providing the lat-
ter absolve the government from pay-
ment unless the ships are delivered in
a United States navy yard. .
»Already one of the largest wrecking
concerns in the world, a. Swedishbr-
ganization, has opened negotiations'ion
the subject. It is willing _..to under-
take at once the raising of the Reina
Mercedes, which lies in the channel in
Santiago harbor, and it has indicated
a disposition to undertake the raising
of tho Colon. This concern has large
experience in this class of work and
if no American concern able to do t‘li-a'

probably will be made with it on the
basis of a cash paynent for the ship
delivered in the United States. '
