| New York, Aug. 2S.-The United
States transport San Marcos. which
sailed from Tampa Aug. 20, and from
Key West Aug. %, arrived this morn
ing with two batteries of the First ar
tillery, two companies of the Third
Texas volunteers and the general hos
pital corps and detachment from the
corps of engineers. The total number of
men aboard was 52S, OF which 10 are
officers. Captain A. L. Miller, First
artillery. is in command.
The San Marcos arrived off the
! Sandy Hook lightship at IL o'clock
last night where she anchored until
| daylight, when she proceeded up the
bay to quarantine. Deputy Health
Officer Sanborn boarded the trans
port, and after brief inspection per-
mitted her to proceed.
The San Marcos then steamed up the
bay and anchored off Liberty island,
where she will await instructions from
the war department at Washington.
The troops will probably be sent to
Camp Wikoff. One artilleryman is re-
ported sick with measles. None of the
troops on the San Marcos had been
outside the United States, all having
been in camp at Tampa since the early
part of the war.
Sixty of the worst cases were remov
ed from the San Marcos this after
noon. Nearly all the men are conva-
lescents. from the general army hos
pitfalls at Key West and Tampa. Ten
were sent to the New York hospital,
one to Governors island and the re-
mainder to Fort Hamilton and Fort
Wadsworth. Very few of the men were
able to walk The scene at the landing

Private stephen Easton, troop e,
First volunteer cavalry, was the only
man landed at Governors island, as
the field hospital on the island is
crowded. He is suffering from melan-
cholia, having lost his voice and hear
ing as the result of a fever contracted
while serving before Santiago. Dur
ing the trip to this city his attempts
to end his life became so frequent and
determined that it was necessary to
have a guard watch him night and
day. Easton enlisted in the rough rid
ers from New Mexico. He is of Mex
lean descent.
The men are delighted over the fact
that they have arrived in New York.
They complain, however that they
have not received their pay for two
months There are a number of men
on board who are suffering with
wounds, but the majority of them are
recovering from malaria.
The men also complain of a lack of
suitable accommodations while on the
ship. In the main, however, the trip
from Key West was without incident.
Among the sick and wounded volun-
teers brought to this city are: John Re
Hall, A. H. Denham, Thomas w. Wig
gins, John r. Keane, Thomas Cavan-
augh, NJ. P. Mathanical, James NJ.

this morning, at the quiet Meharry
homestead, where he was taken imme-

Governor Claude Matthews passed
away peacefully, surrounded by his
wife and all the other members of his
immediate family.
There was prayer service, accompan-
led by the singing of hymns at the
bedside of the dying ex-governor.
Mrs. Matthews was very much affect

thing in the world if her husband
would manifest by a single word his
faith in Jesus.
About 8 o'clock the minister. in the
course of services, asked the dying

CHICKAMAUGA HOSPITALS.
General Boynton Was Unable to Find
Anything Wrong.

Washington, Aug ga few days
ago Secretary Alger issued an order to
General H V. Boynton, now at Chick
amauga park, to make a thorough and
searching investigation of all the hos
pitfalls in Camp Thomas and to report
instantly any lack of attention TO the
inmates, any inefficiency in the med
ical officers or any need of supplies of
whatever kind. General Boynton's at
tentien was directed to the sensational
charges made by one DR.. Terry against
the conduct of the hospitals at Camp
Thomas, and he was urged to make a
prompt report of the exact condition
as he should find it, Tonight the
following telegram, under date of Aug.
%, was received by Adjutant General
Corbin from General Boynton:
Have completed investigating hos
pitals under secretary's order. Re
suits exceedingly favorable in all es-
sential features. The facts effectually
dispose of all recent sensational adj
verse criticism. Report will be written
out tomorrow.
The results of General Boyntons in
vestigation as briefly stated in his tele-
gram afforded the officials of the war
department great satisfaction. They
have implicit confidence in General
Boynton and are satisfied that his in
vestigation has been thorough and its
results, as he states them, are accur-
ate. a copy of General Boynton's dis
patch was sent to President Mckinley.

paralysis was that governing the
speech, and the ex-governor would
have probably never talked had he
lived.
1t was the only word he spoke after
he was stricken. He Immediately
lapsed into a profound coma, from
which he did not recover before he
passed away at $50 o'clock.
Mrs. Matthews will start tomorrow
with the remains, arriving at Clinton,
Ind, in the afternoon. From Clinton
the party will go direct to Hazel Bluff
farm, the home of the dead eXgov-
ernor.
Out of respect to the oft-eXpressed
wish of Governor Matthews, the body
will not be taken to Indianapolis to lie
in state at the capital. The funeral
will occur Wednesday afternoon.
Mrs. Matthews is bearing up sur
prisingly we'll under the strain, but
friends fear she will suffer a collapse
after the funeral. Mrs. Matthews re-
ceived hundreds of kilograms and mes

chosen governor. Governor Matthews
was related, through his mother, to
some of the best families of Virginia
and Kentucky.
AS his term for governor expired, Mr..
Matthews retired to his home in 1896.
The friends of Mr.. Matthews resolved
to make him a conspicuous candidate
for the Democratic presidential nomin-
alton. The state convention was en-.
Enthusiastically in favor of his nomina-

vention. which met in Chicago in July,
1896 Mr. Matthews endorsed the ac-
ton of the national Democracy and be-
gan a brilliant canvass for Bryan and
SewaH. He never faltered for an in

until the polls were closed in Novem-
Der of that year.
On Jan.>7, 1868. he married Martha R.
Whitcomb, daughter of the late James
Whitcomb, who was governor of Indi-

Sixty Soldiers Seriously III Leave.
Santiago For New York.

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 2S.-The
transport NRoumanian viii leave for
Montauk Point tomorrow with 60 sick
men of the Seventy first New York.
Second ard Ninth Massachusetts, the
Second regiment the Tenth cavalry
and the Sixteenth and Twenty-first
is extremely bad. Ambulances were
toTnd to be necessary to convey most
of them to the steamer.
Three transports will leave tomorrow
for Guantanamo, Baracoa and Sagua,
for the Spanish prisoners there. The
condition of the men is distressing.
The transport Knickerbocker arrived
this morning with the Second battalion
of the Fifth infantry. The Second and
Third battalions of Rays Second i'm
n,Une regiment will leave tomorrow for
Baracoa and Sagua, for garrison duty
at those places.
General Toral and staff and a few
other officers will leave next week on
the Leon XIII. Over 200 Santiago ref
Igees arrived from Jamaica today, and
others are coming soon, now that peace
is restored.
The Spanish hospital will be reno
waited and put into shape for an Amer
lean hospital. Its location is excellent,
and ii has a capacity of 1000.
Upon the arrival of a Spanish major
recently. it was discovered by accident
that he had several trunks filed with
silver iewelrS'. valuable articles and
money, evidently the result of looting
the houses of residents during the con-
fusion attendant upon the Caney eX-
oduS. Large amounts of money were
carried away by Spanish officers.

session again tomorrow and probably each
day until Friday. Separate meetings of
the American ana Canadian commission
ers and meetings of the subcommittee
VIII continue during the week. Senator
bairbanks stated tonight that the frs
week s work has been very satisfactory
and that everything up to this point indl-
Gated the best results. He expects that
considerable progress VIII be made be-
tween this date and next Friday, when a
recess will be taken until Sept %.
On Thursday the American commission
ers will give hearing TO the representa-
tiyeS of the Boston chamber of commerce.
General trade questions will be consid-
cred.
Probably on the same day hearing will
be given to the interests of the Aneri-
can lunbermen. Last week Don NJ. Dick
inson was heard in the interests of Amer
lear lumbermen who own government
timber in Canada. but the hearing this
week will be for those who are interested
in other branches Of the business. The
commissioners decline to state in detail
anything concerning either of the hear
ings set down for this week.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier will probably return
this week 1t is learned that the copy
right question will be brought before the
commission as the work goes on. The
Canadian publishers desire in a measure
to be freed from the rigorous copyright
laws of the mother country and they also
desire reimbursement of the copyright
laws existing between the United States
and Canada. This question, however,
will probably not be discussed until other
matters have been disposed Of.
