During the Fighting Beforé the Phil- ippine Capital There Were Many Acts of Individual Heroism. a2 Spectal Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.—The reports of General Thomas M. Anderson, com- manding the Second Division of the ighth Army Corps, and General Mac- Arthur, commanding the First Brigade | as to operations about | of that division, Manila were made public at the War Department to-day. General Anderson had command of the- first expedition. The following extracts are taken from his report: On the first day of July I had an in- terview with the insurgent- chief, gul naldo, and learned from: him_that Spanish ~force had withdrawn, driven back by his army, ashe. claimed, to the with the co-operation of the American fleet. Believing that, however .successful. the insurgents ' have been in_ guerrilia warfare against the Spanish, they could y ault or .reduce that a hearty and effective co-operation could not beé executed. 1 at once had made a number of reconnoissances to ex- actly locate the enem lines of defense and to ascertaln its strength. General Anderson thus describes the attack on: Manila, which was under his - immediate command, subject to orders | from General Merritt, whose headquar- ters were on a dispatch-boat: The fleet opened fire at 9:30 a. m. The firss shot fell short, but the range was soon found, and then the fire became evi- dently effective. 1 at once telegraphed seneral MacArthur to open on blockhouse nd begin his attack. At the same eral of ‘the guns of the Utah opened fire on the enemy’s works in front of the Second Brigade and two guns on the right of this brigade opened an oblique fire toward blockhouse No. 14. Riding down to the beach 1 saw two of our lighter draft vessels approach and open on the Polverin with rapid-fire guns, and observed, at the same time, some men of the Second Brigade start up the beach. I ordered the First California, which w. the leading regiment of the service, to go forward and report to General Greene. Going to the reserve telegraph I received & message from MacArthur that his fire on the blockhouse was effective, but that ‘he was enflladed from the right. 1 knew from this that he wished to push the i | surgents aside and put in the Astor Bat- Instantly Relieved and Perma- mently Cured by Stuart’s Dys~ £% pepsia Tablets. A New Discovery. but Not.a 'Patent z ‘Medicine. Dr. Redwell relafes an hitéresting ac- count of what he considers a remarkable cure of acute stomach trouble and chronic dyspepsia by the use of the new discov- ery, Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. He says: ‘The patlent was a man who “had suffered to my knowledge for years with dyspepsia. Everything he ate seemed to sour and create acid and gases in the stomach; he had pains like rheu- matism in the back, shoulder blades and limbs, fullness and distress after eating, poor apretite and loss of flesh: the heart ecame affected, causing palpitation and sleeplessness at night. .I gave him powerful nerve tonics ami blood remedies, but to no purpose. As an experiment 1 finally bought a fifty-cent package of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tabiets at & drug store and gave them to him. Al- ~most immediate relief was given and after he had used four boxes he was to all ap- pearances fully cured. There was no more acldity or sour wat- ery risings, no bloating after meals, the appetite was vigorous and he has galned between. 10 and 12 pounds in weight of solid; healthy flesh. Although Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are advertised and sold {n stores, yet I consider them a most valuable addition to any physician's line of remedies, as they are perfectly harmless and can be given to ‘children or invalids or in any condition of the stomach with perfect safety, being harmiess and containing nothing but vegetable and fruit essences, pure Kensln and Golden Seal. ‘Without any question they are_ the saf- est, most effective cure for indigestion, biliousness, constipation and all derange- ments of the stomach, however slight or tery. 1 then authorized him to_attack, which he did, and soon after the Twenty- third Infantry and the Thirteenth Minne- sota carried the advance line of the ene- my in_a most gallant manner, one gun of the Utah Battery lending most effective assistance. ‘In the megntime the Colorado. regiment hiad charged and carried the right of the enemy’s line, and- the Eighteenth Infan- try and the Third Heavy (regular) Ar- tillery, acting as infantry, had advanced and passed over the enemy’'s works in_ their front without opposition. The re- érve was ordered forward to foliow the Second Brigade, and a battery of Hotch- kiss guns was directed to follow the Eighteenth Infantry. Going to the tele- graph station on the left of our line on the beach, 1 found the operator starting forward in_the rear of the First Cali- fornia and 1 moved forward until the in- strument was established In the first house in Malate. The first ticking of the sounder informed us that Genéral MacArthur was heavily engaged at a sec- ond line of defense near Singalong. 1t was evident that the best way to as- sist him was to press our success on the left. I therefore directed General Greene to connect, if possible, with General Mac- Arthur by sending a regiment to the right. But the army seemed determined for a time to give us a street fight, and the Colorado and California regiments were the only ones avallable. At this uncture the Eighteenth Infantry and the otchkiss battery appeared to be stopped by a broken pler of a bridge, but the engineer company brought forward a portabie bridge and in a few minutes these organizations pressed through for the Malate Ermita redoubts. Soon the men from Nebraska and Wyoming came ‘on shouting, for the white flag could be scen on the sea front, yet the firing did not cease, and the Spanish soldiers at the front did not seem to be notified of the surrender. - In the meantime the reserve had been ordered forward, except one regiment, which was ordered to remafn in the Second Brigade trenches.” The Sev- enth Utah were also ordered to the front, one Infantry bn}tfil‘lor{) being directed to assist the men of the batterdes i the guns by hand. nslog The field telegraph wires, extendin a wide circuit to the extreme rlght,";grl: severe, 5 Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are made by the Stuart Co. of Marshall, Mich., and sold by drugilsts everywhere at fifty cents per package. ; Little book on stomach. diseases mailed free.

SAMUEL KNIGHT LEAVES OFFICE ed Publicly by the Fed- eral Judges. In the United States District and Cir- cuit courts yesterday -the.resignation of Deputy United States Attorney .Samuel Knight was announced formally in open court. Judge Morrow said: The court has.learned with regret your pur- pose to retire itom the office of Assistant United ‘States Attorney for this district. You have been an able and efficiént officer, per- forming your duties with the highest regard to- the. interests of the Government and at the same tfme having a proper and an inteiligent care for the rights of those whose conflicting interests you have been compelled to oppose. Your relations with the courts and its officers have always been most agreeable: in other words, you have discharged your official duties in aceordance with the highest professional F standard. You will, T am sure, continue. to maintain this standard in your practice, com- manding deserved success. You certainly have the best wishes of the court and its officers, with whom you have been so pleasantly asso- clated. Judge Morrow added that he re- gretted that the Government did not see its way clear to pay Depu- ty United States Attorheys suffi- clent salary to keep men of Mr. Knight's ability in office. United States Attorney Foote made a similar _announcement in_ the United States District Court, and his eulogy of Mr. Knight was fully concurred in by Judge de Haven. —_———— Thirty-Third District Club.

Special Dispatch to The Call. | WASHINGTON, Oct. Investigation Commission devoted its time to-day largely. to the statement fiied by Nelson Hersch, on behalf of the New York World, giving what he styles a ‘“record of facts -concerning the es- tablishment of Camp Wikoff and man- agement, together - with specific de- scriptions of abuses charged to have existed, dates, number of sick in hos- pitals, deaths, etc.” [ This statement was made in response [ to the general invitation from the com- | mission. The ° specifications = cov twenty-one pages of typewritten mat- |ter,” taking -up’ the movement -of the Santiago troops after the surrender of the Spanish at-that place and before the breaking -out of yeliow fever there in July. 1 Montauk Point was selected as the site | for the camp it was “a barren: waste.” The details of the selection of the camp | site are given, as are also those of the | transportation of troops, and it is as- | serted when the first detachment of 275 troops arrived on’ the 8th of August, | “the camp was not ready to receive | them, and that they slept under their blankets, and in the open air, as no tents-had arrived.” : “This,” it is added, “was eleven days after it had been decided to establish the camp.” Continuing, the assertion is made that by the 10th of August the sick were re- ported suffering from want of proper accommodations and food; that their tents were without floors, and with only their blankets between the sick men and the ground; and that a glass of sour milk apiece was. the only nourish- ment they received in twenty-four hoars. The War Department is charged with frequent changes of plans, and it is as- serted that General Young was given only six days for the preparation of the camp before the arrival of troops, when two weeks' time was necessary, which caused ‘‘great confusion.” On the 14th of August Dr. Edson visited the camp and found that the 1400 troops there were almost wholly dependent upon a body of water without inlet or outlet and known as "Fort Pond-for their drinking water. This pond received the drainage from the camp, and the doctor found the water to contain 90 grains of. salt to the gallon. This condition, he said, caused-disease and rendered the pond a constant menace to the men. By August 20th there ‘were 20,000 men in camp and 1300.in the hospital, with many unable to secure admission from the transports. e.regulars were re- ported to be -suffering for the neces- saries of ljfe and had received no pay for .three months. * €ontract surgeons were reported living at the expense of patients. Tt 5 “‘After the doctors had lunched,” says the account, “twenty-five empty apol- linaris bottles were ccunted on the table, said to have been diverted from hospital stores.” Particulars are given of the death in his tent of Private Hugh Parrett on August 28, and it is asserted that Dr. Tabor refused him permission to enter the hospital, on the ground that he was not- sick. ©_Lhe assertion is made when, on the 5th of September, Dr. Lee went to Camp Wikoff with a special train to take sick soldiers to Brooklyn hospi- tals, he 1 1s unable to get more than fifteen -men to the train on account of the lack of ambulances, which were being used to carry sightseers around the camp. While hundreds of sick sol- diers were waiting to be transferred to boats and trains. a dozen ambulances stood at the depot filled with laughing ‘men and women who were seeing the camp with officers’ friends. ¥ After this Jncident General Young gave orders that the ambulances were to be used only for.the transportation of the sick.
