Visit OF Two Of the War Invests
CATION Commissioners.
PLEASED WITH THE RESULT
Surprise d atthe Large Number Of Cone
valesccnts Discharged. The Convert
cd Yacht Hornet Arrives. Captain
of thes.ycsuvius on Board,
atthe Large Number OF Con.

TWO members of the War Investiga-
ton Commission, Ex-Governor Beaver.
OF Pennsylvania, and DR.. Conner, of
Cincinnati, spent the day at Old Point
sunday going through the Josiah
simpson government hospital
There are nowsat the hospital several
hundred sick and wounded soldiers,
veterans of the Cuban and Porto Rican
campaigns. The members of the COM
mission visited all of the wards, care
ll!ly inspecting everything, and making
minute inquiries as to the details of the
arrangement of the institution. and the
hesitate to express surprise and graft
1fcatlcn at the report made to the them
OF the large number of patients that
had been discharged from this hospital
and the unusually low death rate that
has characterized the institution.
The purpose OF the visit of these two
distinguished gentlemen was simply to
examine into the workings of the hos
pital and it's present condition There
mas been no criticism of the manner in
which it has been conducted, nor any
suspicion of imprope, conditions.
The members of the commission re-
turned to Washington last night They
we're not communicative as to their i'm
Fresslons further than already stated,
but it was easy to see that they had
no fault to find, and it may be predicted
that the report that these gentlemen
W!ll make to the rest of the board will
reflect credit upon the institution.
THE HORNET AT OLD POINT.
The converted yacht Hornet arrived
at Old Point last evening from Nor
folk. where she has been in the navy
yard undergoing repairs. The brave
little vessel is bound for Wilmington,
North Carolina, and from there will so
to Southport. She will sail today
On board the Hornet is Captain John
p. Pil!sbury, the commander of the ia
nous dynamite cruiser Vesuvius, which
played such a picturesque part in the
recent war with Spain. 1t is not known
what Captain Pillsbury's intentions are.
