Democratic Gains in KentucLv.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 1O.-The DEM
ocrats of Kentucky won a sweeping VIC
tory by electing 8 and possibly 1Ocon-
gressmen out of II, and prevented the
Republicans from gaining control of the
court of appeals. Democratic congress
men were elected in the First, Second,
Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh,
Eighth and Tenth districts, and while
the vote is close in the Ninth, it looks
like Williams, the Democrat, has won.
This is a certain gain of two congress
men with a possible gain of three.

Colonel Tanner of Illinois Tells About
Conditions Before Santiago.
CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-The most sensa-
tional testimony of the day before the
war investigating commission, in ses-
sion here, was given by Colonel Turner
of the First Illinois, a participant in the
Santiago campaign. After detailing the
conditions at Chickamauga and Tampa,
he said:
81 think there was very great over
sight at Siboney. We reached Siboney
on Saturday morning, July 8. and Gen.
eral Reynolds then informed me that he
had received telephone orders that I
was to disembark at once. When I
asked him what preparations had been
made for Decentralization he said: L
don't know anything about that. You
must fight that out yourself went
ashore and spent about two hours trying
to find somebody who would give me
some information as to howl was to get
my regiment on shore. We got off all
our men by the next day at noon. some
c. our rations and some of our tentage.
but a good deal of our stuff remained on
the transport and some Of it was taken
to Porto Rico. For the first three days
we were at Santiago

We could get no supplies in any way.
Finally three Of my men agreed to foot
it to Siboney and bring back on their
backs enough supplies to keep the men
alive. In connection with this General
Shafter sent me a very sharp note COM
planning that l had not reported the sit
uation directly to him."
Regarding conditions at Montauk
Colonel Turner said he found little to
criticize. One thing he noticed wa a
disposition to turn the men out of the
hospitals before they were entirely re-
covered. II found men," he said, ''who
had been discharged from the hospital
while in almost a state of delirium. We
found four or FIVE Of men, one OF
them almost unconscious, discharged
from the hospital"
