will consult tomorrow with some of
his advisers concerning the amount to
be named in the American communica-
ton, but the sum to be paid will not
under any circumstances exceed the
aggregate of the debts contracted by
the Spanish government for improve
ments in the Philippines. All military
debts and debts contracted in the name
of other islands, such as Cuba, Will
be barred and the Spanish commission
ers viii be informed that they must
recognize this fact as promptly as pos
sible.
Secretary Hay has received a full
statement of the context of the Spanish
note. It's character was just what the
officials expected-without any new ar
guments of Importance. Senior Rios
and his colleagues call attention to the
action of the government in delivering
a note through NJ. Camben, the French
ambassador, to President Mckinley,
w'aich set forth the understanding Of
the Spanish government that in agree
ing to the protocol its sovereignty over
the Philippines would not be affected.
1t is also claimed by the Spanish COM
missioners that this declaration was
assented to by President Mckinley AS
a matter OF fact, the note had been de-
livered, but the president had declined
to answer it, either in writing or YER
bally to NJ. Cambon.
The Spanish commissioners have de-
clared, it is said, that instead of the
United States acquiring the Philippines,
this government should pay their gov
ernment an indemnity for the attack
on Manila after the peace protocol had
been signed and for the damage conse-
quently done. Rear Admiral Dewey's
victory in Manila bay was unimport-
ant and the possession of Cavite during
the war was not such as to give the
Americans, the Spaniards declare %
troll of the islands, and it is claimed,
and the claim is fortified by argument
and many legal precedents, that the
American government has no right to
demand the cession of the entire group
of 1 400 islands when it held only such
small bit of territory as that at Ca
vite and controlled only the bay of
Manila.
All during the war Spain's troops
were stationed on other islands and
were not molested. The Spaniards in
dicated their willingness, however, to
sell the islands and the authorities have
no apprehension now that any rupture
will occur unless it be over the amount
to be paid.
After the Philippine question has
been disposed of the commissioners will
consider the determination of claims
which have been filed by Americans
against Spain and by Spaniards against
the United States. 1t was thought that
this government would bond itself to
satisfy all American claims, in consid-
Grafton of the territory ceded to the
United States, but. this statement is
incorrect. The Spanish commissioners
have heavy claim for filibustering
against the United States to Offset the
claims filed by Americans for personal
and property injuries, and the question
of their disposition will have to be de-
| cided.

colleagues to renew on Tuesday their
demand for cession of the group to the
United States and they Will make IN

toned at Camp Thomas as camp sur
geon of the Second division, Third
corps. Questioned by DR.. Connor, he
said that during the time he was there,
the sanitary condition in the hospital
was not very good. Sink holes in the
whole division were bad, owing princi-
pally TO the character of the ground
The discipline was rather lax.
AT the opening" said DR.. Schooler,
there was practically no facility for
the care of the sick; we were short of
medicines. and had no apparatus by
which the stewards could prepare the
medicines that we had. The regimental
hospitals, all but one or two, were as
poorly supplied with medicines as the
division hospitals. Requisitions were
made for more, but they were generally
disapproved at the camp headquarters.
The supply department had certain
hours for issuing supplies, and at other
times nothing could be obtained. There
was g. scarcity of beds in the hospitals,
and practically half our nursing force
were sick or in the guard-house for in
subordination."
DR.. Cuthbertson, surgeon of the First
Illinois cavalry, said sinks at Chicka-
mauga had to be dug with axes and
shovels, the supply of which was tre-
mendously insufficient. The surface soil,
he said, was very shallow and non-ab-
sorptive, and the sinks would soon be-
come in very filthy condition, which
was aggravated whenever a rain oc-
Cured.
"When a requisitoin was sent in for
quick-lime with which to disinfect the
camp" he continued, there was no
supply of that material, and the medi-
cal department was handicapped by
the lack of many articles for the proper
sanitation of the camp"
Mrs. Virginia F. Betz of Chicago was
the next witness. She entered complaint
in regard to the death of her son,
Frank NJ, who enlisted with company
l., First Illinois volunteers. He was
taken sick at Santiago and was taken
to Montauk on the transport Berlin.
From there he was allowed to go home

with rations at Chickamauga and the
