JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 1.-THE war
investigating committee spent the afternoon
in inspecting the camps in the immediate
vicinity OF Jacksonville A heavy rain was
falling during part of the day, but the COM
missioners performed their self-appointed
task OF going through the camp from one end
to the. other in very painstaklng manner.
The commission inteSviewed privatesan Of
flcers alike and made personal visits to the
quarters Of the men and their commanders.
They lifted the covers of the commissary
stores, went through the kitchens, talked
with the physicians and nurses and made
special inquiry into the methods of conduct
ing the hospitals.
All three Of the division hospitals were
visited and inspected, the commissioners 60
ing through the tents and in some instances
where conversation was allowable, talking
with the patients. The patients were all
found occupying clean beds or cots, and in
no instance was hospital tent or pavilion
the hospital tents were effectually screened
against flies and mosquitoes.
But one complaint was heard in the en-
tire round, and this was evidently not made
in spirit of fault finding Colonel Jones

mate, saying that fully 20 per cent Of his

result of the inspection, General Dodge, the

1--WE have compared notes after the days
work, and find that complaint was made but
from one regiment during the day. This
was the objection made to the climate by
Colonel Jones.
We shall tomorrow begin the inquiry by
swearing the men under oath. and we hope if
there are any shortcomings to thus uncover
them. We find the sick doing exception.
ally well, and we are pleased to congratu'
late their physicians on the excellent ar

Cuban Occupation
WASHINGTON, Oct. l7.-It is said at the
war department that nothing has occurred
movement of troops to Cuba. 1t was not
intended that the occupation of the island
should be begun Immediately, except at such
towns az Manzanillo and perhaps Holguin,
where immune regiments may he used to
advantage: The investigation into the situ-
alton has been of great value to the depart
ment, disclosing, as it has, the views of
thoroughly practical man based on keen OBJ
servatiOn. But Colonel Hecker's primary
object was to locate camp sites for the occu-
patton OF the troops, and he is proceeding in
exact accord with his instructions. The
conditions that he found, it is said, thor
oughly warrant the belief that the war de.
partment will be obliged to face the most
difficult problems that have yet arisen in
connection with the handling of troops in
order to secure protection to the health of
the soldiers. 1t has become evident that
the men must be isolated for some time in
their camps to avoid the danger of in
fection, and the department is not quite
clear that any useful purpose will be served
by placing soldiers where their services
cannot be available.
A proposition that is now under consider.
alton looks to the employment of the Gu.
bans as local gendarmes, it being urged that
they would be more serviceablN in main
tanning order in the towns than American
soldiers, unacquainted with the Spanish lam
guage and Cuban customs.
Unless General Lee specifically asks to be
relieved from that duty, he is to command
the first expedition, seconded by General
Greene and General Arnold.
