He continued by saying that the

few days that he had always intended
to send him to Havana and in case
there had been an assault upon the city
that he should have led it.
General Lee dwelt upon the impor-
tance Of taking proper care Of the sinks
as a preventive of disease. He said
the healthiest regiment in his camp was
the One Hundred and SiXty-fi first In
diana regiment, which burned all it's
effete matter. Most of his troops were
anxious to go to Cuba, but some desired
to be discharged. He said in con-
clusion that he knew of no case of
distress, starvation or death f-~-- any
neglect or that was due to any in
efficiency on the part of government
officials. He said he had no complaint
to make against the war department

Contracts For Men,

Employees of the Rock Island Plow
company, whom the company desires
to return to work on the resumption
of operations next Monday, received
through the mail this morning cop
les of contracts binding the men to
work through the coming manufac-
turing season, and providing that
3-days' notice shall be given before
any of them quit work, but expressly
stipulating that the contract has no
binding force on the company's side.
General Manager Head, when seen
this afternoon, stated that while the
company was unable as vet to fix the
price of piece work in the foundry
owing to changes in the patterns, it
would he found the general scale was
12@ per cent higher than that which
the men received a year ago. The
men who had been dropped from this
department, Mr.. Head said, were only
those who had been a source of
trouble to the company in the past.
The friends of the men laid off say
that their dismissal is not due either
to failure on their part to do their
work efficiently and faithfully. but
that it is for other reasons.

supplies were plentiful the men wen
taken care of, and he had no complaint
to make of the war departments treat
ment of his command. He also took oc-
casion in reply to a question put by
Captain Howell to say that he did not
consider that he had been sighted in
the war. He had wanted to go to Ha-
vana and the president had recently
told him that in case it had been nee
essary to take Havana by assault he
had intended to ask him General Leo
to lead the assaulting army. In June
while the expeditions were being gotten
off there was some delay in supplies; but
this was natural, and since then sup
plies of all kinds had come with regu-
larity and IN abundance. There have,
of course" he said, been some COM
plants. Soldiers are like school boys;
they sometimes complain even when
there is no occasion for complaint"
He thought the army ration was
abundant and in the main well suited
to a campaign in a tropical climate
During the course of the questioning it
developed that General Lee had been
notified that he would be expected to
move his corps to Cuba in the vicinity
of Havana about the 1st OF November
and that he considered his troops prop
erly equipped for the campaign. Cen
eral Lee made the significant announce
ment that he was counting upon land
ing in a friendly coHntry. as he had re-
ceived direct information that the
American troops would be welcomed not
only by the Cubans. but by the Span.
iards as well. He said the conservative
and property-owning Spaniards were
especially desirous to have the Ameri-
can troops come for the preservation
of order
The health of his troops had been good
only about per cent being sick. Gov
ernor Beaver read a letter complaining
of the situation in the Jacksonville
camp This letter said the camp was
filthy. zhe bread nodded, the doctors
generasiy drunk, etc.
is that from my commando" General
Lee asked in evident surprise. When
informed that it was, he said that he
was astonfshed and asked for the name
OF the author. He said in this connection
that occasional complaints had come to
him, which he examined and in every
case found them te be unfounded.
Then" said Governor Beaver, after
some further questioning, you consid-
er yourself in good condition in every
way to start on the expedition to Cuba ?"
Il do replied General Lee. Touch
a button and we are prepared even to
go to Madrid"
