ROOSEVELT TESTIFIES
His Story of the Embarkation and
s? Struggle at Siboney
SOME CONFUSION AT TAMPA‘
The Rough Rider: Leader Appears Before
the ‘Var Board. Gives Col. IVood Much
Credit. Accommodations for the lllcn
Were Not as Good as They Should
Have Been.
New York, Nov. 23,—Colonel Theo-
dore RooseVelt, who served with the
First United States volunteer cavalry
in the war with Spain, appeared be—
fore the war investigating commission
which is sitting at the Fifth Avenue
hotel, yesterday afternoon.
When the colonel entered the room
he shook hands with every member of
the commission, after which he :took
a seat in a corner to wait for the wit-
ness then on the stand to finish her,
testimony.
It was 3.35 o'clock when Colonel
Roosevelt was called 1to the stand. He
took the oath, and, in answering to
questions by General Wilson, said:
“I was lieutenant colonel of the
First Volunteer. Cavalry, which I
formed at San Antonio. It was due.
I think, to Colonel Wood that the regi—
ment was equipped and got into the
field of action so quickly. I acted as
lieutenant colonel from May 6 to July
8, and from August 1 to September 5
as brigade commander.”
“Did the men have sabres?”
“No sir; they were 1to have had me-
chetes, but it was just as well that
they never got machetes. They had
Krag— Jorgenson rifles and revolvers."
“Were your men properly rationed
in San Antonio?”
“I don’t know about San Antonio. I
was so busy learning my own duties
that I couldn’t tell whether the food-
was all right or not. But at Tampa.
there was a period of twenty-four
hours when there was considerable
confusion. I had to buy food for the
men, but after we got to the camp
outside of the town everything went
smoothly.”
“Were you ever reimbursed for the
food you bought the men?”
“Oh my, no! That was merely a per-
sonal matter. It was one on me.”
“Who was responsible for the con-
fusion at Tampa when your regiment
was embarking?" ,
“I can’t say. But it seems to me
that it should have been known he
forehand what regiments were going
in certain transports. Colonel Wood
found, after one hour and a. half spent
trying to get the quartermaster, that
our regiment was assigned to the Yu—
catan. Then I found that the Yucatan
had also been assigned to the Second
infantry and the Seventy—first regiment
New York volunteers, and I had to go
aboard the Yucatan and hold the tran-
sport down against the Second infantry
and rthe 7lst New York.”
“Who do you think was responsible
for this confusion, the department or
some of the officers there?”
“That I would not know. I was only
a lieuntenant colonel at that time."
“What were the accommodations for
the men?”
“They were not as good as I could
have wished. Still they were not bad,
and the men had the liberty of the
deck. The only bad food was the can-
ned corned beef. An arrangement was
made by which the men could boil
their coffee at the galleys and 'the men
arrived in Cuba in good condition.”
“There was little facility for unload—
ing the transports on lighters. One
of my horses was drowned in landing
but General Wood got both of his
horses through.
“We reached Siboney at nine o’clock
on the night of the day we landed.
After supper General Wood informed
us that We were to start on the next
morning and catch the Spaniards. The
next morning’s march was a hard one,
especially for Rough Riders. There
was no opportunity for fiankers, and it
was so hot that about one hundred
men dropped out for a while. Ithn
the first Spanish outpost was discov-
ered General Wood ordered silence in
the ranks, and I was sent to the right
to deploy with‘the right wing.
“When the Spaniards began firing I
didnlt at first know what to make of it.
I had never seen smokeless powder at
work before. A newspaper man was
with me when the firing first began,
and he called my attention to the
Spanish hats in the distance across the
ravine. "
“We soon routed the men and word
was sent around that Colonel Wood
was shot. But I soon found Ithe colo—
nel and when I asked him where the
Spaniards were, he ‘said: ‘They have
run away-.’
“Then the fighting was over, and We
captured, among other things, Spanish
mules loaded with beans, of which we
were in need, and we cooked the beans
for supper that night, and that ended
the battle of Las Guasimas.”
“After the first battle, and before all
the provisions had been landed,” he
said, “our men wanted beans and to-
matoes. There was none, the com—
missary of Siboney said, for the men,
but there were some for the officers.
The commissary would not even let
the men buy these things, saying that
they were for officers only. So I had
to stretch my conscience as much as
possible, and loaded two horses with
beans and tomatoes for officers which
I immediately distributed to the men.
That put them in good condition for
the next battle.”
Colonel Roosevelt then narrated the
other skirmishes and the battlé of San
Juan Hill.
Colonel Roosevelt paid tribute to
Assistant Surgeon James R. Church of
the Rough Riders, a former Princeton
football player, who, he said, frequent-
ly ran to the front, and, putting a. man
on his shoulder, would dash with mm
to the rear.
He also told how admirably Genera]
Youngs handled the brigade until he
got ill.
The colonel called attention to the
marked superiority of the smokelesg
powder over black powder, especially
in the case of artillery. ,
The black smoking powder of the
Americans made an excellent target
for the Spaniards.
THE JOINT HIGH COMMISSION.
The Bering Sea. Question Likely Soon to
be Settled.
Washington, D. 0., Nov. 23.—The Bo-
‘ring sea question was the main topic
before the joint high commission yes-
terday. when it resumed its sessions
after several days’ recess.
For the. first time the two sides were
prepared to exchange their estimates
on the value of the Canadian sealing
fleet, the purpose being to arrive ‘at
some fair valuation and retire the
fleet by purchase.
The initial steps in this direction
were taken while the commission was
at Quebec, since which time Captains
H. T. Taylor, on behalf of the Canadi—
ans, and M. Thayer on behalf of the
Americans, have been making apprai-
sals of the fleet .
After Sx. veral weeks at Victoria,
Messrs. Taylor and Thayer have ar—
rived here, accompanied by Captain
Cox, who represents 'the sealers. The
two-appraisers made their reports to
the respective sides, and these reports
in turn were exchanged by the commis-
sioners with a View to reaching a com-
mon ground of agreement.
It is understood that both' appraisals
are considerably below what was ex—
pected, and that instead of running
into millions, they do not much exceed
half a million. ,
Under such circumstances strong
hopes are expressed by members of
the commission that a sum may be
agreed upon for the buying out of
this industry, and the final settlement
of this long pending and vexatious con-
troversy. It is said, however, that
there is still considerable difference be—
tween the appraisals of the Canadian
and 'the American expert, which will
have to be reconciled before an agree-
ment is possible.
After the joint meeting of the_ com-
mission, :1 special committee, consist-
ing of Lord Herschell and Sir Louis
Davies, Senator airbanks and ex-Sec-
retary Foster, took up the Bering sea
estimates. Besides the written reports
of the appraisers, the latter were cal-
led in person .and examined regarding
the sealing fleet.
no HAVANA OURS DECEMBER 20.
Spaniards Say They Can Turn the City
Over to Us Then.
Vi’ashington, D. 0., Nov. 23. —-Notice
has been received from the Spanish
evacuation commissioners that it will
be possible to turn the city of Havana
over to the military authorities of the
United States by December 20.
In view of this announcement and
of the difficulty of securing another
suitable port on the south side of Cuba
in place of Cienfuegos, it is probable
that no further attempt will be made
to open a port there for the benefit of
the sugar planters.
It was not explained that the remo—
val of Spanish troops from Havana
could be accomplished before January
1, but as better progress is reported
and thirty transports have sailed from
Spain to bring back the army, the
Spanish authorities feel justified in fix-
ing December 20 as the date of evacu—
ation.
Cienfuegos will probably be the port
from which the last of the Spanish
'troops in Cuba. will embark for home.
DANGERS OF IMPERIALISM'
President: DIcKinley Warned by Andrew
Carnegie.
Washington, D. 0., Nov. 23.—Andrew
Carnegie called upon the president
yesterday ‘to warn him of the tremen-
dous dangers to which he was subject-
ing his party and the country by the
adoption of the imperialistic policy.
Mr. Carnegie said:
“No country is good enough to rule
any other country, any more than one
'man is good enough |to hold another in
subjection. I do not believe in vassal
states. I want the republic kept
squarely 0:1 the foundations of the
fathers, in whose doctrines of liberty
I have not lost faith. England’s great—
est weakness to—day is the possession
of colonies, which necessarily diverts
her attention from home problems and
needs. I do not believe in shooting
down insurgents, and if it keeps on I
hope the insurgents will also do some ~
shooting.”
Ensign Curtin and His Bride.
Bellefonte, Pa, Nov. 23.—Ensign Ro—
land I. Curtin, United States navy,
has arrived at his home in this place
with his bride, who was Miss May
Radolph I‘Iamersly of New York.
Ensign Curtin has been assigned to
the Massachusetts since his unpreced—
ented performance at Ponce, where,
acting for Captain Davis of 'the “Vasp,
he demanded and received the surren-
der of that port by telephone.
A reception was given in honor of
the young officer and his bride last
evening by his grandmother, Mrs.
Katharine Curtin, widow of the old
war governor of Pennsylvania, and a
public reception is being arranged for
him by the citizens of the town.
Gold Fever in Ohio.
Alliance, 0., Nov. 23.—The eastern
portion of Carroll county is ablaze
with excitement over recent discover—
1es.
Farms which two weeks ago were
worth but thirty dollars an acre can-
not be purchased now for five times
that amount. .
The cause of this is the alleged gold
discovery‘onthe Leyder farm of an
outcropping of mineral bearing rock
ten days ago, and the finding of gold
rock on the farm of Andrew Emmons
last Thursday.

The betting was lively, the prevail-
ing odds being 100 to 80 on Corbett.
Tom O’Rourke was said to have wag-
ered $800 to $1,000 on his man, Sharkey,

ed when the bell rang.

SPAIN DISPOSED TO YIELD.
Grumbling However Over America’s De- .
mand.
Madrid, Nov. 23.—The proposals of
the United States peace corni'nission—
ers have been received here without
any public sensation. The general feel—
ing is in favor of a speedy ending of
the negotiations.
The newspapers lament the “Lingeri—
erosity” 01". the United States in offer
ing “such a small indemnity.”
They think that Japan or some of the
European powers would have paid a
higher price.
There are those who contend that it
would be better to decline indemnity
altogether, because the government
could then decline responsibility for the
Philippine debt.
There is much irritation at thespi—
thy of Europe. The Imparcial has the
following:
“President McKinley now boasts of
having himself written the protocol in
order to mislead Spain. This is adding
insult to injiuy. Yet Europe looks on
undisturbed. All ideas of justice have
vanished from the uorld.”
iri-tish Island for Us.
London, Nov. 23.—The Daily Chroni-
cle publishes a dispatch from Vienna
according to which England has ceded
on lease to the United States for a
naval cooling station, the island of So-
kotra, off the gulf of Aden, the Ameri-
can government undertaking to erect
on it two lighthouses, but not to fortify
the island 01 sell coal here, as this
would in jure the British coal trade of
Perim and Aden. ,
The Chronicle adds editorially:
“We are doing a good deal for Amer—
ica just. new, and everybody in this
country will be glad of it; but we shall
all be the more interested to learn what
she is proposing to do for us in re-
turn.”
