NO SUFFERING FROM HUNGER Testimony Before the Board of Inquiry. REGULARS GIVE EVIDENCE HARDSHIPS OF THE FIRST IN- FANTRY IN CUBA. All but Seventeen Were Invalided at One Time or Another Dur- ing the Santiago Campaign. Dispatch to The Call. Oct. 24.—The War mission sat from 9 and examined about including a number | an wit er n patients. there covered with vermin, but they did not remain so. Major John H. Heatwole, chief com- missary of subsistance, said the quality of the rations had been excellent. As | for the quantity, a man would have to e hospital, but en ca; in Often th ot offiers and n of the regular | troops, as well as a number of volun- | teer officers. It is nmow expected that | the Commission will leave for Hunts- | ville to-morrow night | Replying to charges made by a Sig- nal Corps patient in the Chickamauga | Hospital, Surgeon Drake said he had | se ots on one occasion in a box | | | | enumerated in the receipt signed by me. Until my co nce yesterday with Major Bradley I believed th ipplies, like many others, were bought by out- be a gormand to eat it all. General Dodge read a letter from Dr. Seaman of New York, who was before the Commission in Washington, in which he corrected an error in his tes- | timony. He stated that he had received | only the regular army rations for the | convalescents on the steamer Obdam from Porto Rico to New York. He says that such supplies as had been received up to the night previous to sailing had been received from the relief societies. “During the night,” he continued, “the | hospital ship Kelief arrived and early ! the next morning 1 boarded the lhllefi and personally secured, without any | requisition, the additional supplies | | | side contributio; and were not Gov- ernment suppl e letter is dated October 16, and is directed to the surgeon general of the arm Major Vickers, who was inspector general for the Second Division of the Third Corps at Chickamauga, at- tributed the troubles in that camp to the shallowness of the sink: He said, also, that some of the regimental offi- cers inp ed on making poor selection | of camp sites, and in one instance a | Mississippi colonel, who had put his men in a swamp, had insisted upon re- | maining on the ground as the Missis- sippians had a natural affinity for | swamps. Neverthel his men were taken sick. Major Vickers also com- plained that the drinking water was poor. Asked as to the competency of the surgeons at the hospital he said | there was one man in the hospital | whose proneness to profanity unfitted | him for the service. This man_was Major Hubbard, surgeon in the Ninth New Yo ““His profanity was of such | a villainous character,” said Major Vickers, “that it pretty nearly made | me sick, and I knew it could not have | a pleasant effect on patients.” | Lieutenant Colonel Bisbee, in com- | mand of the First Infantry, told the | story of the transportation of his regi- | ment to Santiago, briefly described the fighting about Santiago, spoke of his | experience in Cuba, of the return to Montauk Point, and of the stay at that place and the transfer south. Asked if | the landing at Santiago could have been accomplished if opposed, he re- | plled: “The facilities were so poor that 1 think not; at least, I should say if I had been on shore no enemy would have been permitted to land. I cannot say how it was with the Spaniards.” | He said there was considerable dif- | ficulty in getting food while in front of | Santiago, “but we had enough.” He | added: “If there had been more to eat, the men would probably have been | sicker.” | He expressed the opinion that the only deprivation had been in not hav- ing proper food for the sick. They could not take the food in their condition, he said. He thought the rations contained | too much fat meat for the climate. | Colonel Bisbee stated that himself and sixteen men were the only members of | his regiment who had not been ill at‘ some time during the antiago cam- “It had been impossible tosecure said the witness, “and if we had them we could not have carried them.” He added that the army was badly broken up in that respect, and it did not get into shape promptly for some reason. He said the men were | just beginning to break in health when Santiago surrendered, and the capitula- tion came at just the right time. He did not believe there was a sufficlent | number of doctors in the Cuban cam- paign. He thought the contract sur- geons were capable doctors, but they were not familiar with army methods, and did not know how to get the neces- sary medicines. Speaking generally of the Cuban experience, he expressed the opinion that the supplies had been as liberal as could have been reasonably expected. Major Dempsey of the Second Regi- ment Infantry covered much the same ground as Colonel Bisbee. He said his command had never during the San- tiago campaign suffered for want of supplies. Men had sometimes at night felt the want of covering, but not of food. Not more than half the men in the regiment were fit for duty at the time of the surrender of Santiago. He had heard a doctor say that quinine and castor oil were the only medicines he c%ul get. = Other members of the two re of regulars stationed here who ‘5;;:\3215 arained were Captain Waring of the First; Lieutenant Lutz of the Second: Quartermaster Katz of the First; Pri vate Feldus of the First; Quartei mas- ter Sergeant Stahl of the Second and Private Hounchell of the Second. All testified that while there was a differ- ence in rations issued while the troaps were in the trenches in the vicinity of Santiago, there was no real suffering on the part of the men on this account. They expressed themselves as satisfied that they received as good attention as they could have expected under the cir- cumstances. Colonel H. M. Seaman of the Fourth ‘Wisconsin complained that the sup- plies his regiment had drawn at Camp Douglas, including clothing, shoes and arms, had been poor. He did not con- sider the men sufficiently well clad for the harsh weather, and said they had suffered somewhat on account of the recent cold. Plague Suspects Inoculated.

TERRIBLE PRIVATIONS OF A KLONDIKE PARTY Two Men and a Woman Arrive at Skaguay After a Thrilling Experience. SEATTLE, Oct. 24.—T. A. Baker of Portland, Or., who arrived from Alaska Jast night, says he met two men and a woman at Skaguay who had just finished a trip of incredible hardships over the Edmondton trail. They were Henry Mitchell and wife of Goldendale and George Le Fevre of Spokane, who left okane fourteen months ago for the the overland route. When they started they had 2000 pounds of pro- visions and twenty-one horses. Now they have nothing. All their supplies and ani- | mals were lost and they consider them- selves fortunate in having escaped with their lives. : They saw provisions scattered along the trafl from the time they were well up in the interior until they left for the coast and found several graves of those who had perished in attempting to reach the gold fields. Several times they lost their Way, and it was only by good fortune that the trail was found again. After travel- ing several hundred miiles and perceiving to gel through by keeping to the regular route, they made directly for the coast, going down one of the rivers to the south of Skaguay. HUNTER e UNEARTHS A GHASTLY MYSTERY Skeleton of a Man TUndcubtedly Murdered Found in a Ravine Near Hollister. HOLLISTER, Cal., Oct. 24.—A deep ra- vine leading into the Pajaro River re- vealed a ghastly mystery to-day when Benjamin Fiint, while out hunting quall, found the body of a man, evidently the victim of a cruel murder. The body was found encased in clothes and a heavy overcoat, the latter up around the neck, showing that It had been dragged some distance. No shoes or stockings were on the corpse, which was that of a large e OO s font I heiant. The poch: ets were empty save for a few car- tridges and some matches. The flesh was | all gone from the body and the features were unrecognizable. The right side of the skull was badly crushed. The body was lying on its back, half buried in sand and had eveidently been in that po- sition for a year. No clew to its identity could be found. The skeleton and clothes are now at the Morgueand Coroner Black and District Attorney Hudner are mak- ing a searching investigation. The scene of the mystery is a deep dry run seldom visited. e Three Lives Lost at a Fire.

'MISS EMMA A. SMITH IS ONE MRS. V. RYAN, HER NIECE, THE OTHER VICTIM. | | | Both Bodies Recovered—No Witness | to the Sad Occurrence and Only Surmise as to How It Happened. Special Dispatch to The Call. VALLEJO, Oct. 24.—Miss Emma A. | Smith of San Francisco and her niece, | Mrs. Vincent Ryan, were drowned in | the bay here to-day shortly before | noon. They had been staying at a | house on Florida street, a few yards | trom the water front. The younger | woman had been under treatment at a sanitarium at St. Helena and came to Vallejo last Thursday. She was suf- fering from melancholia, and her aunt was taking care of her. | The two ladies left the house about [10 o'clock this morning for a walk and | were not seen again alive. Their bod- | | ies were found shortly after noon, that | of Miss Smith near Kane’'s wharf and that of Mrs. Ryan near Virginia street wharf, where the tide had washed it. There is nothing to indicate how the two ladies came to their death, but it is surmised that Mrs. Ryvan, in her de- | mented condition, jumped from the | wharf and her aunt leaped into the | water to save her, or that Miss Smith was seized by Mrs. Ryan and they fell | from the wharf together. Both were fully dressed and showed no sign of a | struggle. | Coroner Trull was notified and the | bodies were taken to Connolly’s under- taking parlors and prepared for burial. It was learned that each had a brother in San Francisco, J. F. Smith and W. R. Snell. They were notified and ar- rived in Vallejo to-night to take charge | of the remains. An inquest will be held to-morrow morning and the re- mains will be shipped to San Francisco to-morrow night. | | | | Mr. Smith received the Coroner's dis- patch from Vallejo at 5 o'clock yester- day afternoon and immediately left for that place. Inquiries made at his resi- | dence last night revealed the fact that | Miss Smith had been a sufferer for | some time from mental nervousness. Three months ago Mrs. Ryan accom- panied her to the sanitarium at St. He- lena, and about two weeks ago they went to Vallejo, hoping the change would prove beneficial. At times the unfortunate woman was very violent. | The family are of the opinion that Miss | Smith attempted to throw herself into the water, and that in trying to pre- vent her from doing so Mrs. Ryan was dragged off the wharf and both were drowned. SHOT TO DEATH IN A PRINCETON SALOON William St. Louis Slain by John Ashley, the Bartender, Who Is Charged With Murder. COLUSA, Oct. 24—Willlam St. Louls was shot and almost instantly killed by John Ashley, a bartender, in Hoessli's | saloon at Princeton Sunday night. St. Louis, who was slightly Intoxicated, came into the saloon and began quarreling with another man, when Ashley came up to him and told him to either behave himself or get out. St. Louis made some insult- ing reply, when, without further cere- mony, Ashley drew his pistol and fired. St. Louls dropped to his hands and knees and Ashley fired again, when St. Louis regained his feet and rushed out of the room, his shirt covered with blood. Ash- ley followed him to the door and fired a third shot, when St. Louis exclaimed, “I am done for,” and sank to the ground. Friends hurrfed to St. Louls' assistance and carried him into his mother-in-law's hotel, where he died an hour later with- out regaining consclousness. Ashley came to Colusa and gave himself into the cus- to}(}_v of l!he Sheriff. i yve-witnesses say was a very cold- blooded affair. The murdered man leayes a voung widow and a baby girl about a year old. Coroner R. A. Gray held an in- auest on the remains and the Jury brought in a verdict of ““Murder, caused by a gun- shot wound fired by John Ashley. -~ STILL NO TRACE OF WANDELL. The Young Rancher Believed to Have Been Murdered. SAN JOSE, Oct. 24.—Not one trace has yet been found of Ben Wandell, the young rancher who so mysteriously disappeared from his cabin near Mount Hamilton. It is now firmly belleved that he was mur- dered, but why and by whom is a mys- tery. 'The Sheriff is busy on the case, but gives out no informatio g e Edwin Gould’s New Job.

NAME OF BROWN. Down—Death of George E. Barron Discloses the Deception. Special Dispatch to The Call AUBURN, Oct. 24—Auburn society will be startled when it learns that the Browns, who recently purchased the handsome fruit farm and villa home of the Pointings, are not the Browns, but their true name is Barron. Several months ago Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Brown, hailing from San Francisco, located in Auburn for the benefit of Mr. Brown's health, who unmistakably showed signs of lung trouble. At first they rented, and while they did not entertain they livéd well and apparently had lots of money. This latter fact was verified some time later by the purchase of the Ponting ranch at a big price, for a ranch would certainly not be a moneyed investment to a sick man. A week or 80 ago Mr. and Mrs. Brown went to San Francisco and it is learned that Mr. Brown has since died. On reading the account in The Call of Saturday last of the death of George E. Barron The Call's representative here began to compare notes and now finds that George E. Barron of San Francisco was none other than George E. Brown of Auburn. The deed to the Ponting place gives the name of Bar- ron. The agent who made the sale says the name first given him was Brown, but when the deed was filed the name recorfed was Barron. George E. Brown of Auburn was certainly George E. Barron of San Francisco, son of millionaire Barron and noted for the bitterness of the contest he waged in the courts of San Jose against the pro- visions .of his father’s will. It is be- lieved that prior to their departure for San Francisco Mr. Barron made a gift deed to his wife, or at any rate the woman who passed as such.
