water was unpalatable, caused by the
rolling of the ship and that the soldiers
suffered other discomforts. but many of

tenuating circumstances. He heard no
complaint of lack of medicines. There
were two contract surgeons aboard.
He denied emphatically the statement
that Colonel Humphreys devoted all his
time to getting quartermaster and com
missary stores Notwithstanding re-
quests for medical stores. In conclusion
he gave it as his opinion that when the
expedition sailed it had ample facilities
for landing. The difficulties subsequently
encountered were due to the loss of some
of the lighters and a tug en- route and
the rough water in the harbors at Dali
quiri and Siboney. He claimed the
transport captains showed no disposition
to obey orders.
Lieutenant Colonel G.. w. Goethal,
who was chief engineer upon Generar
Brooke's staff, criticised the condition of
the camp ut Chickamauga, which, he
said, was bad owing to the fault of the
soldiers to use their sinks. He described
the condition at headquarters as 'parti-
cularly dirty" He did not think that
set a very good example for the rest OF
the corps. The witness described Gen
eral Brooke's expedition to Porto Rico.
He could not answer for any vessel ex
cept the ST. Louis, upon which he was
embarked.
''The conditions on that ship" he said,
''were awful The state rooms were not
cleaned. the bedding was foul, there was
no ventilation and the meals were abom-
inable." Still he did not think the
troops were incapacitated by reason of
the voyage. This characterization of the
great American Liner caused evident
surprise.

proved the report and passed resolutions

testimony is being taken in support of Il
motion which Mr. Ryan proposes to
make in the State courts, for a manda-
mus requiring President Hoffman to
procure the books of the Seaboard Air
Line Company. so that Mr.. Ryan may in

tilted shat il was almost an invariahIe
custom to buy supplies of all kinds for
the road through the firm of Hoffman
and Company, of which President Hoff-
man is the principal member. and that
the prices paid were invariably higher
than those charged by other firms. Tes-
timony was also taken to prove that at
least 100000 was paid out by Hoffman
as rebates to shippers in violation of
an agreement entered into by the Sea-
BOARD Air Line and its competitors.
