That night no supplies came and the men were without food or blankets, except had in their haver: 3 The witness said the command began to break down about the 14th. They had dug trenches at night and lay in the wet ditches all day. The hot sun and the wet weather broke the men down. When a march of three miles | was made not more than one-fourth of the men kept up, but all got in by night. The morning after the surren- der the witness took the regiment to higher ground and kept them In camp. | By personal appeal to General Kent, he secured one wagon and cooking utensils and a change of clothing for the men. Centralization was the trou. ble — centralization in staff depart- ments, he meant. If the witness could have got one wagon after the surren- der he could have kept his regiment supplied. But nothing could have pre- vented the sickness that followed the exigencies of the Cuban campaign. Being asked about the diet, he said he would recommend pickles and vege- tables for Cuba. The canned beef was nauseating, and men who were almost starving - would not eat it. It seemed to be meat that had been boiled for extract and was as free from nutrition as chips. Colonel C. B. Hunt of the First Ohio Infantry testified that when his regi- ment reached Chickamauga it was poorly supplied with clothing and arm: and never was fully supplied ,and never had a requisition filled completely. If he made a requisition for 500 blouses he would get 150. The sickness among the troops was not the fault of the camp and not due to’lack of medicines, but more to the incapacity of the com- manding officers in not enforcing dis- cipline and giving necessary care. William H. Davis of Cincinnati was the next witness. He was sent to Chickamauga to examine the water supply, which he reported as bad. General H. C. Egbert was examined. He is now Brigadier General of Volun- teers and Colonel of the Twenty-second United States Infantry. He com- manded the Sixth Infantry after the re- tirement of Colonel Cochran until he was wounded July 1. He had no fault to find with the camp at Tampa or the supplies, or even with the transport Miami, except with the ventilation. General Egbert said the Seneca was not in good condition for transport- ing troops, and that its officers did not seem to me in command along the voy- age as much as the surgeons. When the Seneca reached Fortress Monroe the surgeon telegraphed to New York. The next day, to his surprise, the ves- sel had not gone. He asked why and was told the captain refused to go until ordered to do s0 by the Quartermaster’s Department. The witness called on the captain and found this to be true. After remonstrance against holding the wounded men in such a place, the wit- ness told the captain he would tele- graph to the Secretary of War telling him of the conditions and asking for orders. Meantime he sent a note to.the quar- termaster at Fort Monroe, and as soon “as the situation was understood there an order was given for the vessel to sail at once to New York and the cap- tain obeyed it. Fred J. Flueger of Newport, Ky., tes- tified that he went to Chickamauga August 1 to bring home Albert Boe- decker of the Second Kentucky, who was lying in the hospital. He found him in a very bad condition. He was in a tent with four other patlents, the | from typhoid fever in this hospital was | | Thomas there was trouble for lack of 1| GENERAL LAWTON rs | ing, and, lovking in, he saw & man with & quantity of maggots on his body.

The witness detailed Boedecker's case, how he took cold irom marching | through the rain and was taken sick the day he reached Chickamauga.

That is where I make my point. Two men cannot command the same affair.” MORE SOUTHERN PACIFIC BONDS ON THE MARKET A New York Firm Announces That It Has Purchased $10,000,000 Worth of 5 Per Cents.

Gross. SANTA ANA, Cal., Nov. 4—John Han- cock, belleved to be the murderer of John Engelke: and Pete Edminston, was not taken to Fullerton to-day to have his pre- liminary examination on a charge of as- sault with a deadly weapon upon one Gross at Fullerton a few days ago. To- day Hancock was more communicative than yesterday. To a reporter he mitted making the trip from Riverside to Salt Lake City by team in company with Mrs. Gross, alias Mrs. Myers, who now accuses him of murdering tke two-men, and talked freely of the dual life led with the woman, but he denied knowing_or ever hearing anything about either En- gelke or Edminston. Upon his arrival here yesterday Han- cock>was met by his two brothers, Tom and Walter, both of whom were closeted with him more than an hour and imme- diately afterward he refused to be inter- viewed. One of his brothers a short while ago conducted a gambling den here, and it now transpires that a chum of his re- cently, while under the influence of liquor, told a portion of the murder story to a po- lfceman, but the officer paid no particular attention to it at the time, thinking the fellow was only indulging’ in drunken talk. The next day, however, the officer tried to learn more of the story, but Han- cock’s friend had sobered up somewhat, and would say nothing concerning his statement of thedayl before. HOBSON STILL WANTS THOSE SPANISH' HULKS Argues With the Bureau Chiefs to Allow Him to Continue Work on the Wrecks. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.—Constructor Hobson was before the Naval Bureau chiefs again to-day, and spent two hours | in argument to convince the board of the advisability of allowing him to con- tinue the work of wrecking the Spanish warships sunk off Santlago. Secretary Long had concluded that further.prosecu- tion of the work would better cease, at least so far-as it is conducted at Gov: | ernment expense. However, he consented to allow Mr. Hobson an opportunity to in- duce the: Board of Bureau Chiefs to re- consider - “their - original determination. The ~constriictor was reinforced in his opinion that the Colon and perhaps one or two other ships might be saved by Mr. Merritt, of the wrecking firm of Merritt & Chapman, although his opinion is in turn contrary to that of the wreck mas- ters on the spot at Santiago. Mr. Merritt as not present 4t this afternoon’s meet- ing, so the board contented itself with the recommendation to Assistant Secretary Allen, who has the matter in charge, that the Merritt company be allowed to con- tinue its work on the Colon under an agreement to pay salvage only in case the vessel is raised, and meanwhile to dis- | continue the heavy per dlem payments the company is now receiving. CARPENTER WILL CASE 1S FINALLY SETTLED On the Fourth Trial a Verdict Is Found for the Bailey Chil- dren.

TULARE, Nov. 4—Yesterday, while George Blakely and Robert Smith were hunting doves near Chism’s ranch, five miles southwest of Tulare, a large, viclous wildcat made its appearance but a few steps from the hunters. The guns wera both loaded with small bird shet, and both boys opened fire upon the cat. This only served to infuriate the brute, and he came direct for them. As firing small shot at a wildcat was of no avail clubs were re- sorted to and a pretty battle took place. The cat made a desperate fight, but against too great odds, and the life was soon batted out of the savage feline. Aside from a few scratches thg young men were comparatively unharmed.” The cat meas- ured three feet from head to tail and was two feet high. Very few specimens of the wildcat are ever taken on the plains, and this was one of the largest ever captured in this vicinity. ably second in_of el?s o NEGOTIATIONS FOR PEACE Joint Session of the Commissions. OUR PROPOSITION REFUSED SPANIARDS OBJECT TO DEMAND FOR THE PHILIPPINES. Paris Papers Continue to Argue the Cause of the Dons and Liken Uncle Sam to a High- wayman. Special Dispatch to The Call PARIS, Nov. 4.—The joint session iof lasted - two hours. The Spaniards refused the prop- osition made by the Americans on Mon- day last, but the negotiations were not broken off. While it is believed that no formal counter proposition was made there was a discussion of the Philippine question outside the lines of the Americans. The commissions then adjourned until Tuesday next. A statement is vrinted here to-day with much prominence that at to-day’s joint session of the Peace Commissions the Americans insisted upon a complete surrender of Spain’'s sovereignty, over the Philippine Islands, and that, in the event of the Spanish Commissioners re- fusing to agree to this, Judge Day, president of the American Commission, acting under instructions from Wash- ington, detlared he would present an ultimatum to the Spaniards. It is fur- ther alleged that this seeming haste is due to the desire to settle the negotia- tions before the elections in the United States take place. Reference is made to these allega- tions in view of the fact that they may have also been circulated in the United States, but there is no truth in the statements made. 0 ultimatum is contemplated and there is no probabil- ity of drastic measures being taken by the Americans. The two commissions are now considering an open question, and the Americans expect to earefully | weigh all the points invelved and to carefully consider the arguments of the Spaniards. The two commissions met at 2 o’clock this afternoon. The Americans were aware before the session opened that the Spaniards would decline their pro- posals made on Monday last. The Gaulois to-day says it has been informed, on absolutely reliable author- ity, that Spain will refuse to discuss the unconditional surrender of the Philippine Islands. Spain, it is further asserted, had made particular reserva- tions concerning the retention of the Philippine Islands, and the Spanish Minister of Foreign affairs, Duke Al- modovar de Rio, had himself, at the time of the signing of the peace proto- col, stipulated that the island of Luzon alone should remain occupied by the American troops while the peace nego- tlations were In progress, and that Spain should resume sévereignty over the archipelago as soon as a more lib- eral form of government for the isl- ands should have been decided upon. The Fronde says: “The claims_of the United States on the Philippine Isl- ands are looked upon with disfavor at St. Petersburg. The powers might, in case of America proving too obstinate on this point, be provoked to protest.” The Evenment says: *“ ‘Your money or your life’ is the attitude taken by America in relation to Spain. The lat- ter, having no money, offers Porto Rico and the abandonment of Cuba, and thinks she has thus discharged her ran- som. ‘Pardon me,” answers Jonathan, ‘vou yet have the Philippine Islands, which are only an encumbrance to you. I will relieve you of them. Why? Because, with Fontaine, I have the strongest reasons for so doing.' " g ee SPAIN NEVER INTgNDED TO GIVE UP PHILIPPINES MADRID, Nov. 4—The Imparcial to- day, commenting upon the peace ne- gotlations now in progress in Paris, says: “If the United States had shown in the protocol the intention to keep the Philippine Islands the matter would not have taken the course it did. Spain never considered the Philippines ‘as lost, nor has she desired their loss. On the contrary, her intentions were shown by her facing the anger of Ger- many on the question of the Caroline Islands.” In conclusion the Imparcial remarks: “America, by her conduct, has lost her place among civilized peoples, and henceforth will only count as the most numerous and opulent of hordes.” son.
