EXONERATE THE OFFICERS
Report OF the Board That Examined
Charges Against the Enterprise,

Boston, Nov. 1S.-Rear Admiral BclknaD
Dr. X. b. Dixon and Prof. Albert b. Hart,
commissioners or the Massachusetts Nauti
cal Training School, today submitted to
GOV. WUlcott the report of their investiga-
ton into the affairs ON the Enterprise dur
ing its last cruise
In general the commissioners exonerate
Captain Eaton and the other officers OF the
ship, but they do not consider Surgeon
Olcott Il suitable officer to retain in the
school
In-chsrges again st the quality and quan-
tity OF food, and alleging that the cadets
were not given proper care and medical
treatment, were preferred by James p.
Clare. OF Quincy, father OF one OF the
cadets who was taken from the ship on
her arrival here, and who died from
iiphtheria in the hospital October 3. The
board says the sincerity OF Mr.. Clare in
'Tinging the charges is not questioned.
After reviewing the evidence of the forty
eight witnesses in detail, the report says:
"on the question of the provisions the
commission finds thatthe ship wasproperly
proyisioued when she sailed: that the
articles which ran out Were not essential
to the health or well-bcng of the hoys;
that the charge OF dirty quarters or neglect
OF nursing are not sustained, and should
lie dismissed
That the board finds that DR.. OIcott,
by carrying lighted cigars with him into
the sick bay, did not show proper respect
for the sick: that he disobeyed the eN-
plicit orders to keep journal. that he
showed ut best ineNcusable carelessness in
mutilating the nurses journal, but that he
was not intoxicated on board ship nor
incapacitated for his duties by the use OF
liquor. But the commission feels that it
does not consider him desirable officer
TO retain in the school. and that his ap-
plication to the Navy Department to be
detached from the ship has its approval"
In conclusion the commission does not
doubt that there are sometimes errors of
Judgment or faults on the part Of the
officers, but it finds that, beside the
surgeon. no officer or petty officer of the
Enterprise deserves censure for his part
in the cruise

MORE OF
WEYLER'S
INHUMANITY.

His latest order is the very refinement
of cruelty He is operating at present in
the province of Pinar del Rio, Maceo's
stronghold, and he has commanded the
entire rural population to move into the
fortified towns All who fail to do SO will
bere garded as rebels or rebel sympathizers,
and death S their portion. The inhumanity
OF this decree will be appreciated when
it is remembered that these people have alb.
solutely 10 means and that their only
livelihood must be derived from what they
can grow on their little patches OF land.
II they leave these and go into the towns
they have nothing with which to buy sub
sistence; even if they had the scarcity
of provisions in the towns is such that
thepeople now residing there can get barely
enough to satisfy their wants. weyler's
order. therefore, means nothing less than
a condition bordering on famine for the
whole population Of the province. as the

IMPOSING
UPON
CHARITY.

sons quite able to pay for the services of
a physician is founded upon reason and
justice. ANY one may now apply for
treatment ut this hospital without being
subjected to questioning as to his ability
to pay for medical or surgical attendance
Not only are regular practicinS physicians
thus deprived OF revenues justly their due,
but the District is taxed improperly in that
free service is rendered to persons who
should pay for it.
Perhaps it is just as Well that this issue
should have been raised at this time, for
attention is thus directed to the suggestion
made by Health Officer Woodward in
his annual report, that board of charities
should be established in the District to
which should be referred all cases Of aid
to be extended, whether this be in the
nature of medicines to be dispensed, medi-
cal or surgical attendance admittance to Il
hospital, or supply of provisions, fuel or
clothing Such central authority ought
to investigate every application and keep
a record of the results OF the inquiry and
by this means the Identification Of any
person as deserving of aid, or not entitled
to it, could be readily effected. Diffusive
methods in the dispensing of charity always
lead to abuse.
The subject is of prime Importance and
should engage the careful consideration Of
the Commissioners who may well avail
| themselves of the advice and suggestions
OF bodies who have sufficient experience to
make their counsel of value. If it be
found best and most practical to establish
such central board of charities as DR.
Woodward recommends, a bill should be
carefully Ella borated for presentation to Con-
gress with u view to prompt action upon
the same The abuses complained of should
be remedied in order that no injustice be
done to any one and charity be not i'm
posed upon.

bage by direction of the court. The prob
ability presents itself that whichever way
the garbage cat jumps the entire service
will not be performed as satisfactorily as
expect from the amount of money ex-
pended for this purpose. In the meantime
the erection of another crcmatory is con-
templated, but if 1t is to run the same
course as the South Washington establish
ment, il were better to leave it where 1t
is now, .'in nubibus." To the ordinary
citizen the whole muddle must appear
supremely absurd. The owner of large
store would be regarded as fool II he
and the removal and proper disposal of all
the rubbish there without extraordinary
trouble. The collection and disposal of
clty's garbage is the same thing on a
larger scale. and comparatively should
present no greater difficulty.
There is, however, this difference: the
business man would employ his own men
and himself superintend the work, whereas
the city lets out the job to contractor
and has interlninable worry and bother
over it, Probably the Commissioners VIII
have to go on until the termination OF
the present contract as best they may, Tor
expericnce has taught that the contractor
has always the best of the bargain. If he
b elieves himself aggricved, he has or
seeks redress; the District, on the contrary,
seems ever to be at the contractor S mercy.
Perhaps, therefore, the people viii have
to contain their sosls in patience until the
expiration of the present contract. BY that
time, at least, it is to be hoped law
may have been passed by Congress author
izing the Commissioners to do all public
work by day labor, and without the inter
yention of contractors or other middle
men. When that is done the District may
possess and operate its own garbage crcma-
tory, and have the garbage collected by
its own laborers. We shall hear no more
then of such absurd and unseemly squab-
bles: the work will he done better in
every way, and whatever profits now go
into the contractors pockets can be di-
verted to the support OF deserving laboring
men resident in the District.

an advance of wages which will be equal

1t is the brutality Of this butcher of men
and the horrible deeds OF the soldiers under
his command and his generals that calls
for interpostion on the part of the United
States. We have raised our hands in holy
horror over the outrages in Armenia, yet
they are scarcely worse than those that
are perpetrated under cur very nose in
Cuba. Nothing more Infamous has oc-
CURED in Asia Minor than the murder OF
DR.. Betancuurt by Spanish soldier, who
struck the physician down as he was in
the act of minstering to n patient in a
hospital. The doctors head was cut off
and carried about on the point of bay
onet, and, of course, all the sick and
wounded men in the hospital were put to
the sword. The knowledge of acts like
these. which are Of daily occurrence, make
the blood of Americans boil, and well may
they wonder how long the Cleveland admin
istration will stand by and permit them
