CAN DECIDE WITHOUT HELP The War Commission Listen to the Testi- mony of Dr M. R. Terry Surgeon-Gene- of' the National Guard of the State of New York and Pres. Baldwin of the L. I. 1%. R. Then a Letter from R. Roose- velt is Read. New York, Nov. 28.—The first wit- ness before the war board Saturday was Dr. M. R. Terry, surgeon general of the National Guard of the state of New York. He told of his observa- tions while on a tour among the army camps. Dr. Joseph ‘Chmelicek, acting assist- ant surgeon in the army, who was as- signed to duty in the hospital at West Tampa, testified that everything pos- sible was done for the sick soldiers. W. H. Baldwin, Jr., of the Long Is- land Railroad Company made a. long— thy statement. At the close a. letter from Robert B. Roosevelt, secretary of the committee for the protection of soldiers, was received, which was as follows: New York, Nov. 26. To the Presidential Commission of In— quiry: Gentlemen: I have noticed in the \morning press that one of your mem- bers criticises the witnesses who have testified at the request of the commit- tee formed in this city. to protect the soldiers, for the reason that, while establishing the fact that much groundless and inexcusable suffering was inflicted on the army, they d9 not fix the responsibility nor show who is to blame. If the views of your commission are correctly. reported, there seems to be a misunderstanding between us. We supposed all the witnesses were to do was to prove the facts, and that the commission would fix the responsibil- ity—indeed, was appointed for the ex- preSS purpose of fixing the responsibil- ity—and that it would have been a case of presumption, might be even a case of cruel injustice, if any witness had undertaken to express his opinion on the condition of which he was of necessity only partly informed, for the men who are guilty of the ill treatment of our soldiers will be execrated in this community. No one knows better than myself how deep this feeling is. Any party or person who trifles with it will regret doing so, and any person, who, through ignorance or prejudice, directs it into an erroneous channel is doing a great wrong. The heroic boys may forget their sufferings, may even refuse to testify to them, but their mothers will not and their fathers will not. Nor will it do to take refuge behind the errors of the civil war. Then we were wholly taken by surprise at the North. No one here could believe in the possibility of so hideous a folly. There followed blunder after blunder, disgrace after disgrace. There was no intentional cruelty, such as has so or- ten prevailed in this War, but do you forget the rumors of peculatvion, the paper shoes, the shoddy clothing, the demurrage on transport? But the men were not starved and the sick were, treated with all possible attention and kindness. Water was not sold to fever racked sufferers at ten cents a glass, food was not sold to starving men at 25 cents for a sandwich, and dainties‘ for the dying were not eaten by the officers. : But suppose matters had been a thousand times worse in the civil war, would that be any reason now that our men should be sent with arms out of date, that there should be no ambit-l lances, no pack trains or transporta— tion to carry fd'od to the front, not half suffipient medicine or doctors, no prop— er hdspitals, and that men with freshly. treated wounds should be left to lie in the mud on a. blanket, if they had 0119, without if they had non , nor even why mid—winter underclothng should be sent to Cuba and midsummer gauze u dersuits to Montauk, in company th the siege guns intended for San- tia’goa? The witnesses have established mon- strous incapacity, even greater negli- gence and indifference and political in— t'erferenee. That they'have not full confidence in the power of your com- mission, no mustter how good its will to meet all the requirements the pub— lic demands of it, is only echoing your own doubts, but in spite of that they seem to have done their share, and it would seem that it only remains for you to do your best, even if that best is not quite satisfactory to yourselves. If done in good faith it will teach the soldiers that at least there is a power which has honestly endeavored .to do them justice; has endeavored to re- vive that patriotism which was so grandly flourished five months ago, but has been nipped in the frost of brutal- ity and neglect. You can direct your inquiries in thefirst place to the food supply. Find out who gets the differ- ence between the liberal rations al- lowed by the government and the mea- gre hardtack, bacon and green coffee served to the soldiers. The witnesses are the books and rolls in the public departments, to which you have full actess. Find out who left the medii—' cines, the rtwo fully equipped hospitals, and the ambulances at Tampa, when. there was abundant time to ship them‘ on the transports which were delayed? for a week by the rumors of "the Spa-1 nish fleet. Why General Miles’s intel- ligent directions to make a list 01' ev-.‘ erything which was stowed on board and where, so each article could easily, be got at, and to put a variety on each; ship, were not followed. . How can'any witness Within our reach give you this information? We have furnished you the facts, shown you brutality, cruelty, neglect, indiffer- ence, how men whOm the government was under every obligation to prot'éct and who had a. right ito rely on such protection, were starved even in e. lam. of plenty, were uncured for when sick, left without attention when wounded, were abused, maltreated, in some cases practically murdered.

In Saying this I do not mean in the least to express a doubt of either your ability or desire to do so, for the whole country urges upon you the necessity to succeed. Yours very respectfully, ROBERT B. ROOSEVELT. Secretary Committee for'Protection of the Soldiers. General Dodge suggested that the letter be received and filed. Captain Howell seconded the motion. “We have invited all the witnesses to tell everything they know,” he said,. “and we have made and are making every honest effort to get witnesses and to get the truth from them. I do not see that Mr. Roosevelt’s letter de- serves any answer. I am ready to stand on the record of the commission when the commission has made 2. rec- ord. I do not need Mr. Roosevelt nor any one else to make up my mind for me.” The afternoon session completed the work of the commission in this city, and the members went to Boston by the midnight train. nub-I.— GEN ERAL BUTLER.S REPORT. Work of the Evacuation Commission Pro- ceeding] Smoothly. Washington, D. 0., Nov. 28.—General _M. C. Butler of South Carolina, a mem- ber of the Cuban evacuation commis— sion, .arrived here Saturday from Ha- vana in response to a telegraphic sum- mons from President McKinley and in the afternoon he had a two hours’ con- 1 sultation with the president at the White House. He made an extended report of the terms upon which the Spaniards had agreed to complete the evacuation by January 1. General Butler gave it as his opin- ion that all the Spanish troops will have departed ten days before the date fixed in the agreeme ft. He says that the Spaniards met the American commissioners with reason- able fairness, and that there has been little friction. In addition to his report upon .the actual work of the committee, General Butler gave to the presidént much _i'n- formation as to the general situation in Cuba, the ability of rthe Cubans for . xv . self government, the sanitary condi- tion of Havana. and the general re— sults of his observations duriiig his stay there. He thinks that the military govern~ ment of the island must be cofilinued . for some time, but that it should only be as vigorous as may be necessary to preserve order. If military cont’r’bl is exercised with discretion, he believes there will be little trouble. General Butler describes Havana. now as a pest hole. filled with filth and des— titution. The Spanish authorities have agreed to inaugurate the work of put- ting the city in a sanitary condition, with the aid of the American authbri- ties, and the work to this end is'to be- gin at once. ' The general paid a high tribputc to the discipline and uncomplaining suf- fering of the Spanish troops. They en- dured hardships, he said, which would have caused American soldiers to re- volt. HOLLAND’S'QUEEN TO wso. Beirotlml to Prince William of V'Viedo Now ' Practically Settled. London, Nov. 28.—Thc you queen of Holland, who recently spldyed her strong will by ré‘ca’lling a whole is- sue of postage stamps because her por- trait on them made her look too gm- ish, is again showing her spirit in the question of her betrothal to Prince William of Weide, an officer in the German army, which has been practi- cally settled upon. The official announcement of the be— trothal has been kept back on account of certain difficulties in tht protocol, the question being whether the prince should be invested with the rights and perogativcs of prince consort or retain his present rank. Unless the former plan is adopted neither the laws of Holland nor the for- eign courts will recognize him as :1 member of the Dutch royal family. The VVeide family insist upon the ti- tle. of prince consort, but Queen Wil— helmina demands that Queen Victoria’s precedent be followed and that the ti— tle of prince consort be not conferred until eighteen months after the mar- ridge. It is expected, however, that the, dif- ficulty will be overcome before long. The wedding has already been fixed to take place at The Hague next spring. Hobson ‘Will Return to Annapolis. Washington, D. 0., Nov. 28.—~Naval Constructor Hobson arrived at Wash— ington yesterday from Norfolk and came directly to the navy department. He has just returned from his trip on the Vulcan to Cat island, the scene or the casting away of the Infants. Mari-.1 He brought with him the report of Captain McCalla, who was in charge of the expedition sent on the Vulcan. to endeavor to save the vessel. The report is merely an elaboration of the history of the journey and its results already contained in the telegraph re- port to the department and where it touches upon the present condition or the Teresa makes the wreck appear even more hopeless than Captain Me- This statement was strongly reln~ forced by Constructor Hobson’s verbal report to Acting Secretary Allen. Captain McCalla. will resume his du- ties as captain of the Norfolk navy Constructor Hobson will go to An- napolis to take un'the direction of his course in naval architecture. He was desirous of returning .to Sagfiago an? blon, .t the department had made other ar- rangements that made this impractica- ble.

Peace Commission Says Open Door Does Not Mean Free Trade. Madrid, Nov. 28,—The Imparcial says “the Spanishgovernment thought that :after the signing of the peace treaty friendly relations between the United States and Spain lwould be resumed. and the government would negotiate directly on matters of secondary im— portance. “But the last note of the United States requeststhat the Paris commis- ‘ sioners be empowered to arrange a. re- ; vision of the treaties of commerce and l a special trezity for the Philippines, as ' well ,as settle other questions. The 1 Spanish cabinet is obliged to accede to :the request, and therefore several ad- ‘ ditional sessions of the commission will . be necessary after to-day’s session. “Instructions were sent to Senor 1 Montero Rios ordering him again to in- ‘sist that the absolute rights of Spain in the Philippines should be maintain- ed in accordance with the very clear text of article 3 of the protocol. How- ever the government declares that Se” ,nor Montero Rios will sign the peace treaty without reserve, as its signature under protest will deprive the treaty of a definite character and leave mat- ters as bad as they are now, and we ghave ministerial authority for saying that the government desires the spee- ______.-_.__.__.__—..— .._...“ .. diest settlement of these matters, as .otherwise they may result in grave" dangers to Spain.” Spain Will Not Ask More Time. a Paris, Nov. 28.—Spain will not ask ' for time beyond to-day. She‘will then meet the Americans and make a. con- clusive reply. Speculation continues rife here as to the acceptance or refusal of the Amer- ican terms, but a majority of those who are in any degree able‘to judge believe that Spain will yield, and the American commissioners expect that a treaty will be signed. Regarding the discussion of the so- ‘called “open door” policy in the Phil- ippines, the American peace commis- sioners understand that it does not mean free trade nor even low duties, but that the-Philippines, whatever the tariff rates, shall be open to all trade on equal terms. ~ The Philippine islands will be ex- pected to yield sufficient revenue to meet the expenses of its own adminis- tration, and a large schedule of dutia- ble goods may be established, or only a few may be taxed.‘ ' This constitutes a question, but an immaterial one. Another and .a. more important question will be splived fa- vorably to other nations. Tillie, the ships of all nations will be permitted to engage in commerce throughout the archipelago. This is in contradfstiric- tion of the United States’ int'erdict of coast trade in foreign bottoms, ~which may possibly extend also to Cuba and Porto Rico. The advantage to the United States in the Philippines’ coasting trade lies in the factjhat Am- erican goods willlonly have one ocean to cross, while the goods of other na- tions must cross twpoceans. .._};— D‘on Carlos Has Money and Men. London, Nov. 28,—An English Carlist pagitively assents that Don Carlos’s ar~ " Will take the field in Spain soon af- ter the tr'éaty ofppeace is signed. e declares that" a loan has been fuly financed, and that it is divided equally between France and England, arid ,he adds that after the English capitalists were shown the evidences on which Don Carlos's chances of suc— (less are based they offered several times the amount'asked. . Finally, the English 'Carlist asserts, much more money would have been secured had it not been for the. fact that Don Carlos stipulated that there should be no assistance from Jews, as he ‘is apprehensive of their obtaining financial control of the monarchy. Continuing, it was asserted that the Spanish government has known for some time that Don Carlos possessed an army, organized into battalions and batteries, ofiicered and largely armed. But the Spanish ministers counted on his failure to secure funds. Therefore, the Spanish government is said to be panic stricken and to be endeavoring to make the Spaniards believe that Great Britain has agred to finance Don Carlos and that he in return has un— dertaken to cede the Canary islands to Great Britain in the event of suc- cess. New Justice for Santiago. Santiago dc Cuba, Nov. 28.——General Wood has appointed Senor Eudaldo Tamayo chief justice of the supreme court, and Senores Jose Berela and M. de _J. Mandulny associate justices. The chief justice will receive a. sal- ary of $3,500 a, year and each of the associate justices a salary of $3,000. These are about half the salaries paid to the chief justice and associate justices in the Spanish regime, but ow- ing- to the fact that the officials now receive full pay instead of, as before, being paid less than half their sala- rieS, the positions. are now really worth more than they were under the Spanish sovereignty. ' The men appointed are well known Cubans who have been connected for years with the Bar Association of San- tiago and have held many important positions and their appointment ap- parently gives satisfaction to all class- es of inhabitants.
