rick F. Clark of Central Falls has en-
gagged an attorney TO enter objection tc
the committing Of the sentence Of death
on Saiter d. Worden to life imprison-

soldiers was guarding being wrecked by
the striking employees of the Southern
Pacific railroad. Certain strikers were
tried for wrecking the train, among
them being Salter d. Worden, who was
convicted and sentenced to be hanged.
Many labor organizations tried to save
Worden, and President Cleveland wrote
Governor Budd in Worden's behalf. Mr..

hanged. as do other relatives, and a
determined effort will be made to bring
about that end. The necessary papers
are now being prepared and legal means
will be used to bring the matter before

Saturday and be kept before the senate

MORTALITY WAS VERY SMALL.
OF the Fourteen Hundred Wounded At
Santiago Hut Eleven Died.

WASHINGTON. Nov. ls.-An important
point was developed by the war investi-
eating commission during the day
through the examination Of Major
Lagarde, II of the surgeons in charge
Of the hospital at Siboney. 1t was that
OF the 1900 or l.i0o wounded men
treated in the hospital only II had died.
This was less thar 1 per cent and DR..
Lagarde ventured the statement that no
wal in history showed SO small IA NOR
tality among wounded men. The tcsti-
mony Of Colonel j. w. Jacobs. who
was in charge Of transportation facilities
at Santiago. showed that the reason
why camp equipage and cooking uten-
sils had not been forwarded from the
coast to the troops on the battle line il
front of Santiago was to be found in an
order issued by General Shafter ex-
pressly %forbidding it. The order pro-
vided that only rations and forage
should be sent forward. Colonel Jacobs
declared the luartermaster's depart
ment was not responsible for the condi-
ton OF Inadequate camp supplies al the
front. as the officers merely obcved the
orders of the commanding general.
