GENERAL LAWTON'S NARRATIVE
Thiaks No Gross Mistakes We're Made
in the War.

Thiaks No Gross Mistakes Were Made
| in the War.
| Washington, Nov. 5.-Acting for the
war investigation commission, Colonel
DENLY has taken the testimony of Cen
| eral Lawton. who was in command Of
| the Second division of the Fifth army
| corps in the Santiago campaign, and
who has but recently been relieved Of
| the command Of the department of San
tiago.
His narration begins with the en-
barkation Of the troops at Tampa.
Speaking Of the voyage over he said
the transports were furnished as well
as could be expected as they were not
troop ships The medical and commits
sary supplies We're sufficient to prevent
absolute discomfort, True there was
some confusion owing to mlsunder-
standing Of orders, but the general did
not believe that any real hardship had
been occasioned thereby.
The general held the climate respon-
sibe for the sickness that followed
the Santiago campaign. though It was
possible that with more appropriate
food, better cooking and shelter, some
OF the sickness might have been pre-.
vented, He had, he said, remained in
Santiago until about two weeks since,
and while the health conditions were
now improving there had been much
suffering among the soldiers left there.
ut Is my opinion" he said, "that any
one going from this climate to Cuba
will have to suffer the acclimating fe-
yer there. doubt If per cent have
escaped absolutely
Replying 10 : question as to whether
the navy should not have control of
the transports he said; mo, indeed"
'You think that the army ought to
have control OF them"
absolutely" was the laconic re-
ply.
while they are acting togather?'
Colonel DENLY asked, and the reply
was:
They won't act together. That Is
where make my point. Two men cam
not command the same affair.""
Summing up General Lawton said.
Taking into consideration the con-
ditions that we were Obliged to face,
the character of the country, its ell
mate and other things being consider
ed, l can say there were no serious
or gross mistakes made. can say
there was no lack of care on the part
OF any of those in authority"
