E. Fisher of Chicago told | the story of General Wood’s intimacy with Bellairs and attempted to show | that General Wood knew of Bellalrs’ | bad record. Dr. Fisher said that in| September, 1900, he accompanied Gen- | eral Wood on a trip to the Isle of Pines and there told him of an article | which he had ordered printed in the | Havana Post exposing Bellairs. The | witness said that General Wood told him he did not want the story printed | and it was not used. | Dr. Fisher testified that he told Gen- | | eral Wood all he had learned of the | character of Bellairs and that he had | offered to General Wood to produce | witnesses who couid prove Bellairs to | be indecent morally. He said that | General Wood told him he did not care | to krow anything about the stories; that all he asked was that they not be printed in Havana. CORROBORATES DR. FISHER. J. O. La Fontise, city editor of the ! Jacksonville (Fla.) Times-Union, cor- | roborated the testimony given by Dr. | Fisher. He said that before General | Wood and Dr. Fisher started on their | trip to the Isle of Pines the latter in- structed him (La Fontise) to write the article concerning Bellairs. La Fontise said he took the question under consid- eration and decided that as the matter would be highly sensational and in case of a libel suit it would be necessary to summon witnesses from the United States to prove the charges he would not print the article. He said that when Dr. Fisher returned he was greatly agi- | tated and asked: | “You did not print that article, I Kl i When Dr. Figher learned that thé ar- ticle ot printed he was greatly re- lieved and said General Wood did not want it used. In addition Fisher's testim to corroborating v La Fontise told ol‘ the manner which he had learned of ‘ Bellairs’ character and swore also that General Wood knew all about it. He | he learned from persons who went to Havana from Florida that Bellairs | had served five years in Florida con- vict camps—three years in one and two | The crime of which he had been convicted was forgery on a branch | of the Bank of England. WOOD SHIELDS BELLAIRS. La Fontise said that in May, 1900, a convict from Florida named Johnson came to him and said that he had seen Bellairs and General Wood together at | the races in Havana, and that he rec- ognized and spoke to Bellairs, who | mentioned to him to keep silent. Ac- | cording to Johnson's story, as told by La Fontise, Beilairs excused himself and met Johnson, asking him to remain quiet concerning his criminal record. After this incident, testified La Fon- tise, General Wood sent for him and asked what he knew of Bellairs’ rec- | La Fontise said he told General Wood of his talk with Johnson and also what he had learned from other per- sons from Florida. That was in June, 1800. and, according to La Fontise, Gen- eral Wood then asked him to see John- son and ascertain whether he would leave Cuba and remain away if his pas- sage were paid tc New York and money Johnson answered: “Why do I want to leave? I have too good a thing here bleeding Bellairs.” La Fontise returned to General Wood and gave him Johnson's answer. La Fontise said that later Beilairs and General Wood went to New York. GENERAL BROOKE RECALLED. When General Brooke was before the | committee two weeks ago he referred to two orders, one issued by the War Department and the other by himself to carry the first into effect, which he was unable at that time to furnish. He went on the stand to-day to pre- sent the orders and undergo an ex- amination concerning them. The order issued by the War Depart- ment directed that afl funds collected in the provinces of Cuba should be sent to the military auditor at Havana. The charge was made that the order had been issued by direction of General Brooke for the purpose of getting hold of the funds collected at Santiago, and to devrive that province of its own revenue. The newspapers at Santiago were particularly bitter. General Brooke told the Military Affairs Com- mittee that the order was issued at a | | he had had no previous knowledge con- cerning it. The other order filed with the com- mittee to-day was one that the wit- ness issued after his recovery. It di- rected General Wood, in command of the province of Santiago, not to make expenditures for public purposes in ex- cess of $10,000 a month without first submitting the question to the Military Governor. WOOD IGNORES THE ORDER. General Brooke said to-day that Gen- eral Wocd ignored that order and went on spending public money without au- thority from the Military Governor. General Brooke was asked whether he had withdrawn the revenues from Santiago for expenses elsewhere. He answered that San had received all its own revenue and more uun $200.000 additional.

Hamilton Swallows Crystallized Cyan- ide of Potassium After Writing Explanatory Letters to His Wife, the Coroner and Dr. Gere 3+ * WELL-KNOWN MEDICAL MAN wHO ENDED HIS LIFE BY POI- SON WHILE DESPONDENT. XX g2 After sixty-seven years of sturdy in the life-battle, achleving more than ordinary triumph and ac- | quiring a fair share of the material spoils, Dr. John W. Hamilton, the best-known physicians in Califor- nia, deliberately ended his career yes- terday morning by swallowing évanide of potassium crystals. The suicide took place in his office in the Parrott buil ing, and every phase of it reflected pre- meditation and desire to preclude post- | mortem misconstruction of the motive. After writing three letters—one to his wife, one to his fellow practitioner, Dr. George G. Gere, and one to the Coro- ner—Dr. Hamilton took the deadly poi- lay down upon a lounge and awaited death. When discovered he was beyond hope of resuscitation. Tae letters were as follows: Dear Wife: Forgive me. T am so weary of the world. The days are days of burden. The 1ghts are all unrest. I seek a rest 1 most sorely need. Good-by. With love, J. W. HAMILTON. This is a plain case of 1 took cyanide of potassium. Don't but let Dr. Gere send one of Coroner Leland: suicide. J. W. HAMILTON. Dr. Gere: Good-by. I hold vou in the high- t steem. 1 am tired Remember me kindly. the fight. J. W. HAMILTON. BIDS WIFE GOOD-BY. Dr. Hamilton left his home at Point Richmond yesterday morning, and his demeanor at that time gave no indi cation of the fatal purpose then evi- dently possessing his mind, for he bade with wonted cheer- fulness. Nor was there anythinz in his manner to cause suspicion on the part of the young woman attendant whom he greeted when he entered his waliting room in the Parrott building. He passed at once into his private of- fice, and when one of his patients called the attendant tapped at his door, but received no response, and suggested that the patient wait until he should be disengaged. Soon afterward Dr. Gere, who shared | his office accommodations, entered and | also sought admission to Dr. Harml- ton's room, but his knock upon the door was equally fruitless. Then he opened the door, and saw his associate lying upon a lounge, seemingly uncon- scious and with the gray death shad- ows gathering upon his face. Dr. Gere realized at once that it was a case of city. He said that there was still due his company the sum of $8000 on con- tracts and that Cuban officials in Ha- vana swore the money was paid to General Wood to discharge the indebt- edness. Morrison said he believed that General Wood received that money. During the hearing' to-day Senator Hanna made a formal request of the committee that General Wood be sub- penaed to come hcme from the Philip- pines, in order that he may answer the charges against him and that he may be questioned concerning his actions in Cuba. A ARG A ROOT DEFENDS WOOD. Says Reports of the Investigation Mis- represent Evidence. WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—Secretary Root has addressed the following let- ter to Senator Proctor, acting chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs: “Sir: 1 inclose a letter from Briga- dier General Tasker H. Bliss calling attention to the report of his recent testimony before your committee as a witness regarding certain objections to the confirmation of General Wood. It appears that the press reports of Gen- eral Bliss’ testimony are the precise contrary of what he in fact testified. He wished this set right for his own reputation, and I shall take the liberty of doing so as far as practicable by giv- ing his letter to the press. < -+ poisoning, and labored hard to offset the effects of the drug, but the unitzd efforts of himself and Drs. Schmitz, Dierdorf, Atkins and Mason were un- | availing. The dose was too large and had too much time in which to operate to be offset by the known remedies. In compliance with the deceased's re- quest, the remains were removed to an undertaxing establishment instead of to the Morgue. ENJOYED BIG PRACTICE. Dr. Hamilton was a native of Wis- consin, was graduated from the Ben- nett Medical College of Chicago in| 1870, and- practiced his profession at | Maryland, Wisconsin, until 1888, when | he came to San Francisco and at once became actively identifled with the California Medical College. At the Llimne of his death he was;treasurer of that institution an@ it§ Professof of gync- cology, and had a lucrative private practice. For many years he lived at the Windsor Hotel-in this city, but about two weeks ago he moved to Point Richmond and took up his residence at the Critchett Hotel. He had sev- eral talks with Thomas McMahon, the proprietor of the hotel, about pur-| chasing the lease of the premises. He explained that he desired to reside in Richmond and travel back and forth to his office in San Francisco each day, and he thought he might be| able to conduct the hotel in connec- | tion with his practice. On Friday he delivered to Mr. Me- Mahon a check to bind the purchase of the lease, said that he would proba- bly make arrangements to purchase the property as well as the lease and | asked Mr. McMahon to see if an ex- tension of ten years could not be had upon the property. He agreed to pay the balance upon the property last | night and take possession after dinner last evening. | TRANSFERS PROPERTY. Besides the widow, he leaves a | daughter, Mrs, Vera Higgins, M. D., | of “Sterling, Butte County, and a son who is believed to be in Arizona. About a month ago he made his will bequeathing all his real and personai property to his wife, and a few days agn he transferred all his worldly be- | longings to her name, Beyond occasionally complaining of gastronomic derangement and inability ito sleep, Dr. Hamilton never said or did anything to indicate morbidity of mind. Indeed his associates regarded him as a man that relished fully tae Juys of living. In respect to the memory of Profe sor Hamilton, the California Medical | College yesterday adjourned till next Thursday, and a committee of stu- dents was appointed to assist In the obsequies. | attention of the committee to the fact that some persons seem to be persist- ently furnishing to the press false statements of the testimony taken by you, the perversion of the evidence be- ing in every case to the prejudice ‘of General Wood.

It is evi- dent that some person is v.mdertaklng, to convey to the press representatives | information of what goes on in the committee and is taking advantage of the fact that the evidence is not pub- lished, to state it falsely, for the pur- pose of injuring General Wood in the public estimation, so that, while your committee will act upon the evidence actually before it, the public judgment as to how you ought to act will be based upon an entirely different and erroneous idea of what the evidence is.
