GRAVE CHARGES MADE
ILL TREATED BY OFFICERS
Some Alleged to Have Been Triced T1) and
Other Men Beaten. Scarcity of \Valer
and Poor Food. Officers Deny the Stor-
ies and Say StrictlDiscipline Was _Neces-
sax-y.
New York, Nov. 26.7—5The First Vol—
unteer Engineers, to the number of
nearly nine hundred men, returned
from Porto Rico on the transport Min-
newaska. Thursday.
Yesterday they were transferred to
the foot of East Twenty—sixth street
and were marched up Fifth avenue to
the Eighth regiment armory at Nine-
ty-fourth street and Park avenue. '
The First Volunteer Engineers were
recruited from all sections between
Maine and Virginia.
The charges made by the men, as set
forth below, were not only not made
by any particular individual, but; by
bodies of men from the various conT—
panics, who promised after reaching
the armory yesterday afternoon and
receiving their pay, to volunteer to ap-
pear before the War commission, and
make it hot for those responsible for
the brutal treatment and shameful ne-
glect which the men claim they were
subjected to.
More than fifty Inch testify to the
truth of the first charge, which is as
follows:
That a private, named Scott, a. mem—
ber 03 Company L, and a resident of
Troy, was spread eagled for intoxica—
tion while; the regiment was at Ponce:
that he was pinioned to the ground for
thirty-six consecutive hours, the most
of which time he spent with his body
in six inches of water unable to move
hand or foot; that the members of his
company were told that the guard had
positive orders to kill the first man
other than an officer who attempted
to approach him; that several of the
men asked permission to give the un-
fortunate man a drink of water and
were met with the rebuff: “N o, a. thirst
will do him good.” ‘
Charge 2.—Private Lewis of Com-
pany H, was, according to the men,
hung or tried up by the thumbs at
Ponce by order of a lieutenant whose
name is withheld because he could not
be found :to defend himself.
The man had been under the influ-
ence of liquor, it was charged, and
became unconscious tWice before being
finally cut down.
He had to be taken -to the hospital,
where he remained for a week.
Charge 3.—Running a sword into the
calf of the leg of a. private because the
latter failed to properly obey the order
of an officer, who is said to have'com-
mitted the assault.
Charge 4.—-Poor and insufficient food
and confiscation and subsequent use
by some. of the officers of stores and
delicacies furnished by the Red Cross
Society for the men.
Twelve members of Company L say
that there are seventy-seven witnesses
to the fact that certain ofl‘iéers, whose
names are to be given to the War com-
mission, took provisions that were in—
tended for the sick.
Charge 5.--—Unjustifiable assault upon
Thomas Firm of Company L,"'a resi-
dent of Bridgeport, Conn., by a ser-
geant and corporal. Finfi was intoxi-
cated, tied in his hammoc ;was order-
ed to pull one of his legs in, refused
to do so, and was beaten, it is charged,
by one of the men while being held by
the other.
Charge 6. —Unjustiflable assault upon
Private Sullivan of Company G, by a
sergeant, who subsequently is said to
have told Sullivan to go to his superior
officer and be hanged, or words to that
effect. Sullivan was placed in the
guard house for forty-four days after
the assault. .
Charge 7.—Deprivation of the men
on the trip South on the transport
Chester, which left this city for Porto
Rico on August 5.
The men claim that there was an in-
sufficient quantity of fresh water on
hand, that even while the transport
was lying at anchor off Liberty island,
within hailing distance practically of
three big cities, they were obliged to
pay twenty— five cents cash for a can-
teen of fresh w;ater that frequently on
the way south they had to pay ten
cents each for a piece of ice the size
of an egg; that their sole mess on the
trip was canned corned beef too fat
to eat, inferior coffee that was served
without either milk or sugar, and hard
tack that could not be broken by the
teeth; that the trip to Ponce lasted
five days and thirteen hours, and that
during the whole of this time few, if
any, of the men were permitted to
bathe because of :the scarcity of wa-
for.
In justice to the officers, many of
whom were seen and questioned, they
replied that to their personal knowl-
edge the majority of the charges were
untrue.
Th’ere was some hardship, but offi-
cers suffered as well as the men.
Thole was intoxication among the
men and radical means had to be re-
sorted to.
The Florida at Havana.
Havana, Nov. 26,—The United States
transport Florida arrived in frd‘pt of
Morro Castle at six o ’clock yestlsrdav
morning and took a pilot on bd‘hrd
and proceeded. At 7 o'clock, she ar—
rived in front of MarlanKS Beach.
General Greene and his staff left the
Hotel Inglaterra yesterday morning
for Marlanao to superintend the Ishm-
ing of American troops there.

LOSS OF THE MARIA TERESA.
Arrival of ’iho Vulcan and the Potomac
With Important Witnesses.
Norfolk, Va... Nov. 26.—The naval
court of inquiry to inquire into the
abandonment of the cruiser Infanta
Maria Teresa resumed its session yes-
terday after having secured important
papers bearing on the case.
The examination of witnesses has
just fairly begun and, being necessari—
ly slow, the court may be in session
for several weeks. .
The United States ships Vulcan and
Potomac arrived in Hampton Roads
yesterday morning from the scene of
the. Teresa wreck at Cat island. They
report that the cruiser has been left
to her fate.
She was stripped of everything that
would be valuable as a relic.
Both vessels came up to the navy
yard in the afternoon, when Captain
McCalla and Naval Constructor Hob-
son reported to the commandant of
the yard.
The arrival of the Vulcan. brings im-
portant witnessds, and the actual facts
connected with the casting adrift of
the Teresa are expected to be brought
OUL.
The courf. will try and ascertain
II hether any persons on board opened
the port holes so that the ship should
sink before she drifted far.
Another vessel expected is the tug
Merritt, which had ithe Teresa in tow.
It is thought that Captain Chittenden,
who had charge of the wreckers, will
be summoned before the court of in-
quiry.
The Merritt’s representatives here
believe that the published interview
with the second mate of the Antilla,
Webber, who is credited with saying
that the Teresa’s port holes were
found open, was incorrect. They think
that the port holes were closed, and
doubt whether the British officer ever
said they were open.
The President’s Message.
XVashington, D. 0., Nov. 26.—-Thc
president is devoting all of his spare
time to the preparation of his mes-
sage to Congress. Minor matters will
be considered only briefly and by far
the larger share of the message will
be devoted to the great questions
which have been raised by the war.
Sections of the message have been
gone over by the president with the
members of the cabinet to whose de-
partments ”they particularly relate,
and the indications now are that the
message will exceed in length any
sent to Congress during the last sev-
eral years.
Secretary Long’s Report.
Washington, D. 0., Nov. 26.—~Mr.
Long, secretary of the navy, has sub—
mitted his annual report to the presi-
dent, the most important recommenda-
tion in it, perhaps, being the immedi-
ate addition of fifteen warships to the
American navy, beyond the fifty-five
vessels now under construction, which
include eight first class battleships,
fOlll coast defence monitors and one
cruiser.
The total cost of this formidable ad-
dition to our navy is estimated at
$25,000,000.
President Iglesias to Prolong His Visit.
Washing-ton, D. 0., Nov. 26.—Don
Rafael Iglesias, president of Costa
Rica, has decided to prolong his visit
to Washington and does not contem—
plate returning to New York until
some time next week.
He is much interested in the work
performed by the various executive de-
partments here, and willgmake a thor-
ough examination of théir organiza-
tion and operation.
He visited the Congressional Library
yesterday afternoon and spent several
hours inspecting the treasury depart-
ment.
The. Battleship Texas to Sail.
New York, Nov. 26.—Officers, marines
and sailors of the battleship Texas at-
tended a ball in LenoxLy ceum last
night. It was complimentary and was
paid for by the sailors, as a farewell
to their wives and sweethearts on
shore.
The big Texas is now being coaled
at 'l‘ompkinsville. She will have her
bunkers filled when she puts to sea un—
der sealed orders on Monday.
Her sailors believe that she will sail
on a long trip to Manila, so they gave
their farewell dance last night.

‘FEW CARE TO WITNESS
Commission Will Not Hear 'of the
Regimental Quarrels.
INQUIRY WILL SOON END
What is Vlantcd Is Testimony Regarding
Negligence, Carelessness ‘or Unmilltary
Conduct. Says Son’s Death Was Due to
Inattention on the Part of Some One.
New York, Nov. 26.—In-ternal trou-
bles of the Seventy-first regiment are
not to be considered by the war inves-
tigating committee, which convened
again at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yes-
terday after a recess since Wednes-
day. ”_ ~ $373,}:
Before the session was called to or-
der General Anson. G. McCook, talk-
ing to several Seventy-first men who
-had come to offer their testimony, said
no witnesses were desired unless they
could tell of negligence, carelessness
or unmilitary conduct of some kind' on
the part of officers connected with the
war or campaign. Any attempt to talk
about regimental difficulties, accord—
ing to General McCook, will prompt-
ly be suppressed.
Fifteen persons, mostly professional
men, had volunteered to give testimo—
ny, but when the session was called
to order at half past nine o’clock none
of them was present.
The commission, ‘for this reason,
consented to hear Daniel McKeever, a
lawyer, at No. 120 Broadway, whose
son, E. Percy McKeever, CompanyK,
Seventy-first regiment, died of ty-
phoid fever at Mount Sinai Hospital.
Mr._ McKeever says his son, who
was twenty-one years old, was brought
from Santiago on a transport while ill
with typhoid fever, and that he was
unable to eat the regular rations giv-
en him on the vessel.
The boy wastaken to Camp Wikoff,
where Mr. McKeever went to see him
on August 20. He found his son, but
was not allowed .to go near him, nor
was he able to procure a furlough for
him.
When he returned on August 26, Mr.
McKeever says, a colored guard, after
consulting Dr. Cronin, the hospital
surgeon in charge, told him no such
person as McKeever was in the hos-
pital.
Unwilling to be put off in that way,
the father sent the guard back to the
surgeon. Just as both returned and
gave the same answer, some one rais-
ed the flap of a tent, Mr. McKeever
says, and asked for whom he was
looking.
VVh-en he answered he was told that
his son was in that very tent. Mr.
McKeever said he found that his son,
though very ill with typhoid and dys—
entery, had been without any atten-
tion for six days.
General Alger was at Camp Wikot‘f
at the time, and when he heard Mr.
-IcKeever’s story at once issued a fur-
lough to the young man.
Dr. Monae Lesser of the Red Cross
Society was the first witness yesterday
afternoon. He testified that in no in-
stance had the services of the Red
Cross nurses been discourteously de-
clined in Cuba.
There was never any clashing between
the army people and the Red Cross
nurses. We worked together frequent—
ly in the hospitals at Siboney from
June 29 to July 14. The relations of
the army medical department force
and the R ed Cross were at all times
most pleasant.”
Dr. Lesser said that the fever cases
were attended to in two buildings, and
the wounded Were cared for in tents
of all kinds, which Major Lagar‘de
found.
”And if I may be permitted,”’ said
he, “I think too much praise cannot
be bestowed upon Major Lagarde for
his untiring efforts.”
Dr. Lesser said that the Cuban hos-
pitals had plenty of medicine for yel-
low fever.
In spcaking of the trip from Cuba
on the transport Coneho, he said that
there was no way of telling that 175
men were going to develop genuine
Cuban malaria after they got out to
sea.
Preparations had been made to treat
about twenty-five patients should that
number of cases develop. But when
one hundred and fifty more cases of
malaria developed than had been con-
templated there was not sufficient
medicine.
“Still,” said Dr. Lesser, “not a death
occurred in that ship which was not
due to the carelessness of the soldier
himself or to some kind—hearted but
misguided comrade, who let him eat
too much. I might say, parentheti—
cally, that more men died from over-
eating than from insufficient food.”
The members of the commission dc-
cl'arc that they are disappointed so
far in the testimony taken in this city.
They had had enough testimony rela-
tive to the condition of affairs, and
what they sought in this city was the
fixing of the responsibility.
The members of the commission ale
also disappointed in the non— appear-
ance of witnesses they depended upon,
such as Dr. Delafield and Colonel
Downs, the latter of the Seventy-111st
regiment.
They have not appeared and say
they will not appear.
Another Cut in Sugar.
New York, Nov. 26.——A11 grades of re-
fined sugars have been reduced in
price 1-160 31 pound, which brings the
price to 5 1-40 a pound for granulat-
ed.
The reduction was participated in
by both the American Sugar Refining
Company and the independent refining-
interests. Lack of demand was stated
to be responsible for the cut.

the supply ship Celtic at Montevideo
Thursday.
