a Model Camp In Every Way,

Washington, October 4.-The War In
vestigating Committee began the taking Of
L testimony to-day, and Major General
Joseph Wheeler was on the stand the
greater part of the day. There was full
attendance of the commission, and the
doors of the room in which the inquiry is
conducted for the first time were opened
to representatives of the press.
General Wheeler's testimony covered the
case of the soldiers at the two important
points of Santiago and Camp Wickof. He
said with reference to the conduct of af-
fairs at Santiago that there had necessarily
been some suffering in the trenches, but
81 that General Shafter had exercised the ut
most effort to protect his men. There had
been, he said shortage of land transpor-
tation facilities for time, and there had
been no tents for week and the roads
were very fair.
He revealed for the first time that he
had some feeling over the fact that his
command had been given the fourth place
in General Skaters order for the landing
at Santiago, when he had thought he was
entitled to be allowed to land first on &C.
count of his rank.
Discussing the plan of the Santiago
caWpaign, he said he doubted whether a
more effective plan could have been
adopted.
Speaking of the medical department, he
said that at times there were complainants,
but that they were not serious. On oc-
casions there was shortage of surgeons,
some of the surgeons being sick or wound
ed. According to General Wheeler's be-
lief, the wounded in battle were promptly
cared for by the surgeons. After the fight
of July lst, all the wounded were carried
from the field that night. The witnesses
had heard that there was more complaint
of the shortage of medicine among the in
tantry than in the cavalry arm of the SER
vice.
The entire afternoon session was de.
voted to the explanation of conditions at
Camp Wikoff, on Long Island. The gen
eral contended that Wikof' was model
camp, the climate salubrious one, and
the accommodations quite exceptional in
character. He considered the hospital
capacity equal to the demands upon it,
and that no military camp in history was
ever so well supplied in I'LL respects as was
this. Red tape methods we're entirely
abolished and the demands Of the men
were met as soon as they were properly
voiced.

mob started for McMillens mill. 1t
was about Loco strong. and as usual
composed largely of women Warning
had been sent ahead and the gates to the
yard were closed. Five hydrants were
opened and the hose turned on the
crowd, but it was not to be kept back.
1t broke in the gates and took possess

avail. All of the working men received
severe beatings. Ed Casey. the big Irish
engineer. was struck in the face with
stone. He retaliated by hitting the

with a wrench, inficting fatal injuries.
To save Casey then from the vengeance

that Germany h.s landed naval fsrce
at Manila is discredited in the mos-
positive manner at the state depart

part of the persistent foreign prop
aganda inspired from Madrid. which
for weeks has been seeking to stir VI
aninosity between the Urited States
Germany. France. and other countries
That the report is purely conjectura
is shown from the fact that there is n
