SOLDIERS IN GREAT DANGER
ReinforCementS Necessary to
Save the Command From
Annihilation.
General Uprising of Reserva-
ton Indians Among the
Possibilities.

WALKER, Mimi, Oct. GA hard
fight with the Indians has occurred
and the reports from the scene OF the
battle on the other side of Leech lake
are somewhat conflicting, although
all reports agree that the result has
been considerable shedding of blood
and some loss of life on both sides.
A dispatch boat that has arrived an.
nounces that although they cruised up
and down near the scene of the battle
for two hours they were unable to see
man and fear that all soldiers and Of.
fcers have fallen. About 100 armed
citizens, including a detachment from
Brainerd, are about to start for the
scene.
The most serious report received is
that the detachment of troops with
General Bacon was massacred, the gen.
eral himself beng said to be among
=. the dead.
This little town has been full of ex.
element all day and as the reports
from the other side of the lake came in
the people became frantic and efforts
were made to get up force to go to
the help OF the troops. This will be
sent in few hours. reinforcements
having come on special train from
Brainerd. However, additional soldiers
are most needed and the feeling is
general that they cannot come toe
soon.

WIKOFF A MODEL PLACE
No Military Camp in History
So Well Supplied in
All Respects.
Deaths in the Army From All
Causes Nearly Three
Thousand.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The war in.
vestigation commission began the TAX.
Ing of testimony during the day and
Major General Joseph Wheeler was on
the stand the greater part Of the day.
There was a full attendance Of the
commission and the doors of the room
in which the inquiry was conducted
were for the first time opened to the
representatives of the press.
General Wheeler's testimony GOV.
cred the case of the soldiers at the two
important points of Santiago and Wik.
off. He said with reference to the con.
duct of affairs at Santiago that there
had necessarily been some suffering In
the trenches, but that General Shafter
had exhibited the utmost effort to sup.
ply his men.
Land Transportation Bad.
There had been, he said, shortage
of land transportation facilities for a
time and there had been no tents for a
week. The roads were very fair.
The general contended that Wikoff
was model camp, the climate a
salubrious one and the accommoda.
tions quite exceptional in character.
He considered the hospital capacity
equal to the demands upon it and that
no military camp in history was ever
80 we'll supplied IN all respects as was
this. Red tape methods were entirely
abolished and the demands of the men
were met as soon as they were prop.
erly voiced.

In Speculation.
Whole Affair Stamped as a
Political Move by the
Defendants.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 6. - United
States Senator Quay, his son, Richard
B. Quay, and Charles H. Mckee Of
Pittsburg, law partner of Lieutenant
Governor Lyon, appeared before Mag.
istrate Jermon in the central court in
this city to answer the charge OF con.
spiracy in the alleged misu Sc Of public
money in connection with John 5.
Hopkins, former cashier of the Peoples
bank of this city, who committed sui.
eide soon after the failure of the bank
in March last.
After hearing lasting three hours
Senator Quay and his son and Mr.. Nc.
Kee were bound over for appearance at
the next term of court. Bail was fixed
at 50, 900 in each case, David H. Lane,
local political leader, going bail. The
case now goes on the list for trial at
the term of court beginning in No.
vember.
Evidence of the Prosecution.
The testimony produced by District
Attorney Graham was in the shape OF
about 20 letters and numerous tele.
grams addressed by Senator Quay to
Cashier Hopkins. The district attor-
ney averred the evidence he produced
showed that Senator Quay had the use
of $500, 900 of the states deposit Of over
$500, 900 in the Peoples bank for stock
speculation; that State Treasurer Hay.
wood placed 500, 900 of state funds in

that amount of money be loaned to
Senator Quay's son, and that there
was regular assignment of interest
on state deposits in the Peoples bank
to certain accounts, one-third Of it 60.
ing to Mr.. Mckee, all of which, he
claimed, was in violation of the state
law prohibiting bank official from
making such transactions, and that the
accused persons were guilty Of con.
spiracy in joining with Hopkins in
these transactions.
Defense Fought Hard.
Attorney Shapley, for the defense,
after the district attorney had con-
cluded his presentation of facts, said:
I'm all these transactions tScre is not
an instance to prove that elsner Sena.
tor Quay or his son Richard engaged in
speculations with the state money.
They bought and ordered shares of
stocks which they paid for with their
individual funds, and that is proved by
the letters read by the district attor.
ney." Mr.. Shields, associate attorney
for the defense, referred several times
in the course of the hearing to Mr..
Graham's arguments as Swallow

deal Senator Quay bore an air of COM
posure. He prompted his lawyers FIRE.

dred Died of Disease.
WASHINGTON, Oct. ga bulletin
posted in front of the office of Adjutant
General Corbin says the total mum ber
of deaths in the army from all causes
to date is 2,9lO. OF this number 1855
died from disease. General Corbin is
unable to separate the volunteers from
the regulars and not even an approx.
mate estimate can be made as to the
ratio between the two branches of
service.
It is asserted that total OF 1855
deaths from disease in six months
among an army of 272, 900 is but very
little higher rate than prevails in the
cities of the United States. This is an
annual rate of about 20 in 1000, while
the rate for all cities in the country
ranges from Is to 80 in 1000.

No Direct News Received.
No direct word has come from either
the correspondents who were with the
troops or from the soldiers. This is
looked on as additional cause for ap-

official communications had it been
posi- BILE to do so. No word whatever
has come from him. Neither has it
been possible to confirm the report that
the entire detachment had been wiped
out.
