SOLDIERS GIVE TESTIMONY.
What Ohicers of the Army Told the War
Investigators at Huntsville.

Huntsville. Ala. Oct. 2S.-The war in
vestigating commission began its work
yesterday with Captain Augues. who
was in the quartermaster's department
at Tampa. He said that for time the
department was swamped there, and he
attributed the congestion to the rail-
roads. Captain Cutter. an Ohio volun-
teer surgeon who had charge of the am
bulance corps at Tampa. said there was
a shortage of ambulances there. and
that the camp conditions were bad.
Colonel Duffy. of the Sixty ninth New
York said his command had never
lacked commissary supplies. but that
there was some delay in furnishing
quartermaster stores. The sick had
been we'll cared for. and while he had
seen some criticism in the New York
newspapers he thought most of the
sickness originated in the swampy
camp at Tampa. There they had to
dig only six inches for water. and there
were no tent floors.
Captain Charles V. Parkhurst, OF the
Second artillery. detailed the partioipa-
tion Of the artillery in the siege Of San
tiago. There were times when his men
did not have time to eat. but there was
no time when they did not have food
He was wounded twice on the I'd OF
July. and his wounds were dressed
within a few minutes after they were
received. First Lieutenant Conklin. OF
the Second artillery. who was in the
Santiago campaign. said the only ma
terial defect in the supplies was in the
powder. which he thought should have

NO FAITH CURE.
ABOUT STUART DYSPEPSIA
TABLETS.
They Cure stomach Troubles and Indi-
gestion Anyway, Whether You
Have Faith in Them

Mere faith will not digest your food
for you, will not give an appetite, will
not increase your flesh and strengthen
your nerves and heart. but Stuart S
Dyspepsia Tablets will do these
things, because they are composed OF
the elements of digestion, they con-
tain the juices, acids and peptones
necessary to the digestion and assim-
ilation of all wholesome food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will di-
gest food if placed in jar or bottle
in water heated to 9S degrees, and
they will do it much more effectively
when taken into the stomach after
meals, whether you have faith that
they will or not.
They invigorate the stomach, make
pure blood and strong nerves, in the
only way that nature can do it, and
that is plenty of wholesome food well
digested. 1t is not what we eat, but
what we digest that does us good.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by nearly all druggists at so cents for
full sized package, or by mail from
the Stuart company, Marshall, Mich.

PRoTECToRATE OVER EGYPT.
Defiant Action Attributed to the British
-Kitchener's Grand Welcome.

-h1tchenerS Grand welcome.
London, Oct. est is reported that
the British cabinet has decided to pro-
claim a British protectorate over Egypt.
Although nothing official has trans
pired regarding the deliberations of the
cabinet council The Times today says
ii may be taken for granted that the
decisions reached are in full agreement
with the policy formulated in the re-
Gently published blue book. The Daily
Mail understands that an arrangement
has been arrived at which removes all
danger of friction with France Judg-
ing from the tone Of the papers in gen.
eraI whose editorials are seemingly in
spired the cabinet has decided that there
can be no question of any concession in
the nature of an outlet TO the Nile for
France. The whole valley of the Nile
must be restored to Egypt, though free
dom in trading facilities will naturally
be granted to France as to the world
generally.

NEW PREMIER OF FRANCE.
cinet. minister of war; Constans. min
lister OF justice; Delcasse. ministerof for
eign affairs: Ribot. minister of finance;
Bourgeois, minister of public instruc-
tion.
London, Oct 2S - The Paris corre-
spondent of The Daily News says: The
Brisson cabinet was overturned ostensi-
bly, because it failed to protect the army
from SANDER. The real facts are that
the ministers Pconstantly, but vainly,
urged the slandered staff officers
to take proceedings against their SLAM
derers. General Mercier, General Eur
linden and General Charoine all declined
to assist the government to vindicate
the army's honor on the plea that it
was useless to proceed against filthy
newspapers rags
Reopening of the Dreyfus Case.
Paris. Oct. 2S.-The court of cessation
took UP the Dreyfus case yesterday
Reporter Bard opening the proceedings
by a review of the history of the trial
One of his strongest points was the
confession of Lieutenant Colonel Henry
before he suicided. He said that the
confession Of forgery related to a period
subsequent to the Dreyfus trial, but
Henry's evidence was the most crush
ing against Dreyfus. and the evidence
Of a forger is open to suspicion. Bard
animadverted severely on the withhold
ing of the secret dossier from Dreyfus
himself. as the presenting of the docu-
ments to Dreyfus could rot have COM
promised the national interests, and the
course adopted was in fragrant violation
of the rights of French prisoners since
1855.
How the Court VIII Probably Decide.
Although the proceedings so far are
favorable to Dreyfus ii must not be as
sumed that there will be any real clear
ing up of the mystery. 1t looks rather
as though an attempt is being made to
stifle the real truth by liberating Drey-
fus without a new trial.
The belief is general here that the
court of cessation will pronounce neither
for revision nor for annulment of the
decision in the Dreyfus case, as either
course would entail awkward conse-
quences. To avoid these it is expected
that the court will decide that as the
affair now presents itself there has
been no treason and therefore the con-
demnation pronounced upon Dreyfus by
the court-martial cannot be upheld.

PHILADELPHIA'S PARADE.
Today's Pageant Was an Imposing
Affair.

Philadelphia. Oct. 2S.-Vast crowds
witnessed the third of the great pro-
cessions in honor of the return of
peace. Today's pageant was purely
of a civic character, as the others had
been naval and military, respectively.
The days exercises opened with a re-
dedication of the old Independence
hall, the historic building from which
the Declaration of Independence was
read July 4, 1875. Following this
came the procession, which moved in
10 divisions and was very long. 1t
included an immense number of
floats, representing nearly every line
of business carried on in the city, to-
gether with various civic and patri-
otic societies.

Washington. Oct. 2S.-It is said at the
state department that there is nothing
disGuieting in the situation at Havana.
The evacuation commissioners are
meeting at intervals to suit their con-
yenience and the needs of the work in
hand: Spanish troops are being shipped
homeward. and the way is being cleared
for the occupation OF the island by the
American garrisons the end of the pres
ent year. The attitude of the insurgents
is not cause for apprehension now
more than IL has been, and the officials
are confident that the sentiment of the
better element on the island of Cuba
will be effectual in securing for the
United States officers who are charged
with administration of the temporary
government Of Cuba the cordial support
of the vast majority of the Cuban peo-
pie. 1t is conceivable that the end of
the war will find some bands of lawless
men. perhaps Spaniards as well as Gu
bans. ravaging remote and unprotected
districts. but this is an incident OF most
wars and even after our late civil war
trouble encountered in suppressing such
lawless elements.
Order of Interest to Soldiers.
BY direction of the secretary of war
COlcnel InomaS ward, acting ad1utant
general. has issued a general order in
regard to the cases of members OF
volunteer organizations who enlisted
therefrom in the regular army. 1t is
explanatory of a previous general order
issued in September last prescribing
that such men will be given credit for
their service in the volunteer army. The
Endorsement required by the regulations
on the enlistment papers of men who
have served in the volunteer army and
subsequently enlist in the regular army
results in giving such soldiers credit on
the records OF the department for time
actively served in the volunteer army.
but without intention that the term OF
enlistment. or re-enlistment. in the reg
ular army shall be shortened by reason
II volunteer service.
To Whom the Advantages Accrue.
According to the order just issued
such soldiers begin a new enlistment
in the regular army for the full term
of three years. and their clothing al
lowance likewise begins at the first
years rates. The age limitation of 81
years for original enlistments in the
regular army does not apply in such
cases. The principal advantages. how
ever. accrue to those who re-enlist iE
the regular army within three months
from date of discharge from the vol
unteer army. In their cases the time
actually served in the volunteers is add
ed to the time served in the regular
army in computing the soldiers service
pay from time TO time" Future enlist
ments and re-enlistments in the regular
army will not be governed by the same
rules which prevailed during the war
with Spain.

HARvEY's FINANCIAL SCHEME.
Chairman Jones Declares Certain Current
Statements To BE without Truth.

Statements To BE Without Truth.
Little Rock, Oct. 2S.-United States
Senator James K. Jones. chairman of
the Democratic national committee, ar
rived in the city last evening. The
senator dictated and authorized the fol-
lowing statement in regard to the pub
lished statement in various newspapers
announcing that he had removed Coin"
Harvey from the management of the
affairs of the ways and means commit
tee of the national Democratic commit
tee, and announced that the scheme con-
Quoted by Harvey was a rare disap-
pointment to him ant.> sex Governor
Stone, of Missouri, would take Har-
vey's place on Nov. 1.
Jones stated that the whole story was
a fabrication without a semblance of
truth in it. He said that he went to
Chicago a few days since to look over
Harvey's plan, as he felt great interest
in it's success. So far from being dis
satisfied with Harvey or his plans he
was, in fact, very much pleased with
both and that careful examination of
what has been accomplished and the
plans for future work had inspired him
with the utmost confidence in the sue
cess of the movement.
