The Loss of Life Now Placed at Over One
Hundred.
LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE Atlantic Trans
port company has issued the following
statement regarding the fate of the pas
sengers and crew of the steamer Mohe-
gan which was wrecked last Friday
evening off the Lizard, between the
Manacles and the Lowland:
"Of the passengers II have been saved,
10 bodies have been recovered and 33
are missing. Of the crew and cattle
men 80 have been saved, ID bodies have
been recovered and 81 are missing"
Since this statement was issued nine
other bodies have been picked up in
cluding two men identified as those of
passengers. ...
The reports of various correspondents
differ widely as to the losses and res
cued, although none have been able to
secure accurate information of the
numbers of those saved or bodies re-
covered.
The cause of the disaster remains the
profoundest mystery.
Many persons were undoubtedly killed
by being dashed on the rough rocks who
would have escaped if they had been
cast ashore on an ordinary coast, Some
bodies are horribly mangled. A good
deal Of jewelry and money have been

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 20.-The
war investigation commission examined
a large number of regimental and other
officers during the day. One of the
most outspoken witnesses of the day
was DR.. Frye of the Third division hos
pital. He condemned methods in vogue
in hospitals and said that in many cases
the contract physicians and members of
the hospital corps were incompetent.
Dr.. Frye spoke in very uncomplimen-
tary terms of the men engaged in the
hospital corps, saying they had been
picked up at random over the country
and were generally "a scabby looking
lot, /" not fit to adorn that walk lin life.
He also expressed himself against the
contract surgeons, saying that he would
not be willing to trust his family or
friends to so per cent of them.
"Many of them," he. said, "are recent
graduates from medical colleges, and I
do not consider the average medical
graduate capable of taking charge of
from IS to 80 typhoid fever patients"
