Major General Graham was the only
witness before the war investigating
committee to-day. He was the first
commander of Camp Alger. Va.
There was, he said. only one railroad
running into the camp, and the station
was about one and one-half miles dis
tant. He thought the water supply was
sufficient when the camp numbered no
more than five-eighths of the troops.
but as the troops increased IL became
necessary to dig wells. There was de-
lay digging the wells. eight of which
were sunk. one for each regiment. The
supply then was ample for all pur-
poses except bathing. II was his i'm
preston that there had been some COM
plants OF sickness on account of the
water famine, which had continued
from the 20th of May until the 25th of
June. with varying degrees of intensity,
but he had been through campaigns be-
fore in which the water supply was not
equal to that at Camp Alger. He was
inclined to attribute much of the sick
ness at Camp Alger to the fact that
the soldiers insisted on taking the
water from the little streams running
through the camp. There had been
considerable typhoid fever at the camp.
but IL did not originate there, and the
first cases were isolated. During his
entire stay at the camp less than per
cent Of the command was sick. There
were 60 deaths, five being those of Off
GERS. Much of the sickness. in his opin-
Ion. was due to delicacies sent to the
soldiers from home. and he had issued
an order prohibiting the sale Of ice
cream, pies, etc. in the camp. When
typhoid fever began to be considered an
epidemic, he issued strict orders for the
detailing of guards for the care of the
sinks, making any neglect an offense,
punishable by arrest.

SHE HAS HER NERVE
SPAIN ASKS us To ASSUME THE
CUBAN DEBT.
The Question Of the Philippines Has Not
Yet Been Broached-The Commis-
sions Adjourn Until Friday.

| Paris, Oct. 10. 1920 a. m.-After a
fourth joint session lasting from 9
o'clock yesterday afternoon to a quar-
ter past o'clock. the American and
| Spanish peace commissions adjourned
| without having reached a final conclu-
| sion as to any point in the protocol
Thus far there has been no joint for
nation or capitalization of views to be
returned by each commission TO its
| government for embodiment in the final
| treaty.
The question of the Philippines has
not yet been considered in Joint ses-
sion, though the Americans at their
separate sessions have acquired ex-
haustive information from persons who
have lived i'm the Philippine islands and
done business there. They are now
therefore, well equipped/to discuss the
subject when il comes up.
The Spanish commissioners have pre-
sented written views. expressions and
propositions. to which there have been
written rejoinders. These in the origi-
nails and translations have been read
at the joint sessions, while during the
recesses they have been respectively
digested and responses formulated TO
them, rendered in both English and
Spanish, for the next joint session.
The Spanish, IL is believed, have
asked to have the Cuban debt assumed
by the United States, urging that the
debt should pass with the sovereignty.
The debt so presented for American as
sumption covers the expense OF the 10
years insurrection. the recent insur-
rection and the war with the United
States. as far as Spain's outlay in the
war can be classified against Cuba.
The Americans probably have re-
piled that IL indeed any part of the So
called Cuban debt is allowable. the part
incurred in suppressing instructions or
in the war with the United States is not
allowable.
The Spanish will doubtless also urge
equities in stocks. water front better
ments. public buildings and perhaps
war material. 1t is possible that this
connection Will receive consideration on
the basis of equities between mortgagor
and mortgage. Thus far no DISPOSE
tion has been developed on either side
to delay the ultimate conclusions and
the end Of the work in hand. The
American commissioners are anxious
to conclude as soon as possible, and on
recess days they are devoting from
three 20 five hours TO discussion and de-
tails.
The adjournment yesterday was to
Friday. Both commissions have ac-
cepted an invitation to a reception 10

day) evening.

No American ship at any time during
the battle was within a mile Of an un-
surrendered Spanish ship.

nothing to effect the issue Of the battle
When the Colon's nag came down the
New York was nearly 10 miles to the
eastward.
Sampson. on the New York. was near
Siboney. where he heard the firing and
turned about and came back AZ fast
as forced draught could bring him. The
New York was further in shore than
any Of the other vessels. but too far
away to assist In the destruction Of the
Spanish fleet. All she did was to nre
two shots at longe range at a torpedo
boat destroyer. She did not reach the
Colon until three-quarters Of an hour
after the Oregon and Brooklyn and Is
minutes after the Texas reached there.
At the time Of the hottest fight tbe-
tween 1000 and 10:15 a. MI the Brook
lyn was in line with the Oregon. but
three-duarters OF a mile further out to
sea- The Oregon at that time was pour
ing fire into the Maria Teresa The
Oquendo was about 5000 yards distant,
with the Texas and Iowa a half mile to
the rear OF her.
According to the testimony the
Brooklyn was lying farther to sea than
any OF the American ships. She head
ed in at once and when about 1000
yards from the Maria Teresa. which
was leading the Spanish fleet out. she
turned to the eastward. then doubled
southwark to sea for a short distance.
Schley then followed a parallel course
with the Spaniards. keeping up a run
ming fight. He was well outside Of the
other American vessels and in the lead.
He kept this position. an average dis
tance OF two miles from the Colon.
until that ship surrendered.
The issues OF the battle. the board
learned. were not affected by any sig
nails that Schley made from his flagship.
The oregon dashed out from the very
beginning of the engagement and kept
within range of the enemy until the
fight ended.

The board finds In a general way that

Each captain fought his ship on plans
prepared and given by Sampson.
The findings OF the board are sum-
married as follows: The battle was
fought and won upon plans prepared
by Rear Admiral Sampson. The direct
ing of the movements of the ships done
by Schley during the battle was incon-
siderable. The New York had no active
part In the fight. The Brooklyn was
not engaged at so close quarters as has
been represented by the first report.
on an average she was two miles away
from the enemy.
The bulk OF the fighting was borne
by the Oregon. Texas and Iowa. The
New York was about nine miles from
the Colon when the ship surrendered
and between four and five miles from

which signal distance is taken).

day by Mr.. Frye, on behalf OF the for.
eign relations committee, that the res.
olution calling upon the president fol
the Cuban consular reports lie upon
the table until such time as the com.
mittee desired to take it up, unexpect-
edly precipitated a discussion on the
Cuban question. Upon the conclusion
of the Cuban discussion the sundry
civil appropriation bill was taken up,
and forty pages of it were disposed of.
The measure was then laid aside, and
Mr.. Hawley presented in amended
form the joint resolution offered by
Mr.. Bacon concerning the erection Of
temporary Notifications. 1t is as fol
lows: "That in case of emergency,
when, in the opining of the president,
the immediate erection of any tempo
rary fort or fertilization is deemed i'm
portant or urgent, such temporary fort
or fertilization may be constructed
upon written consent of the owner Of
the land upon which such work is to
be placed, and the requirements of
section 355 of the Revised Statutes
shall not be applicable in such cases"
The resolution was passed and the
senate adjourned.

For three hours today the packed
galleries and excited members of the
house listened to a passionate out
burst of oratory on the Cuban ques-
ton, during which the intensity was
alternately manifested by cheers, jeers,
and Kisses. Time and time again the
excited throngs in the galleries were
admonished to be silent. At one time,
at least, it seemed as if motion
would be made to clear them. The
three speeches that stirred the assem-
blage to its depths were made by Mr..
Grosvenor Of Ohio, who, it was as
sumed, spoke for the administration,
and who practically pledged it to the
cause of free Cuba: Mr.. Bailey of
Texas, the democratic leader, who an
nonnced the democratic position as for
Cuba without war, if it could be
avoided, but with war if necessary;
and Mr.. johnson of Indiana, who
spoke for peace, declaring that it was
our duty to go to the extreme in mag
nanimity to avoid the horrors of war;
Little progress was made on the naval
appropriation bill. The only impor-
tant amendment was one appropriat-
ing 100000 for the erection of new
buildings at the Naval Academy.
