WAR INQUIRY.
Captain Mckay Denies Statements
Regarding Transports.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-At to-day's
session of the War Investigation Com
mission the examination of Captain
Mckay, who was in charge Of the trans
ports in the Santiago expedition, was
continued. Captain Mckay also super
intended the embarkation of the troops
which came north from Santiago after
the surrender, and he Indignantly de-
MED any of the published statements
regarding the filthy condition of the
transports.
In conclusion, he gave it as his opin-
ion 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 waters in the harbor at Siboney.
Lieutenant Colonel Goethal, who was
chief upon General Brooke's staff, fol-
lowed Captain Mckay. He criticised
the condition Of the camp at Chicka-
|mauga, which he said was bad owing to
the failure of the soldiers to use their
sinks. He described the condition at
headquarters as particularly dirty"
He did not think that fact set very
good example for the rest of the corps.
He thought there were better sites in
the park than those occupied but they
were mainly in the northern part, which
had been reserved for the Sixth Army
Corps.
The witness described General
Rrooke's expedition to Porto Rico. He
could not answer for any vessel except
the ST. Louis upon which he embarked.
'sThe conditions on that Ship" said
he, were awful. The staterooms were
not cleaned, the bedding was foul,
there was no ventilation, and the meats
were abominable.' Still he did not
think the troops were incapacitated by
reason of the voyage.
This characterization of the Ameri-
can liner caused much surprise.
General McCook said he had made
trip in the ST. Louis, and that she was
finely ventilated, the staterooms below
decks being almost as well ventilated
as the deck rooms.
Colonel James M. Moore, Assistant
Quartermaster General, explained the
difficulty in obtaining clothing and
camp equipage at the opening of the
war, and how, in many cases, the
Quartermaster's Department was COM
PEELED to buy inferior articles or do
without altogether. This was particu-
Iarly true of tentage.

SENATOR VERNON BURKE.
The Trial Committee Recommends
His Disbarmeut,

CLEVELAND, Dec 3.-The report of
the Trial Committee of the Bar Asso-
citation on the disbarment proceedings
against Senator Vernon Burke was pre-
sented at special meeting of the as
sociation to-day. The report says. in
part:
We find that Judge Dellenbaugh,
while acting as Judge of said court, in
troduced and sent to Burke Mrs. Edith
Manning; that Mr.. Burke performed
services for her in connection with a,
settlement of a claim asserted by her
against woman for alternating the
affections of her husband, and in con-
nection with the preparation and hear
ing of. a divorce case against her hus-
band, and that Mr.. Burke received
from Mrs. Manning for these services
about $3, 900. $1,100 of which was paid
by him to Judge Dellenbaugh as fol-
lows: $1,000 July s, 1895, and 500
July 1S, 1895.
From the evidence offered by Mr.
Burke to establish the truth of the
words so spoken, the committee find
that Mr.. Burke is guilty of misconduct
in his conduct as an attorney at law.
and in his relation to the Cleveland
Bar Association; that he wrongfully
connived and conspired with Judge
Dellenbaugh to procure a divorce for
Mrs. Manning in an irregular manner.
contrary to law, and without proper ey-
idence, in that he wrongfully conspired
with Judge Dellenbaugh to falsify a
record of the Court of Common Pleas
of Cuyahoga County,"
The committee makes the following
recommendations:
First-That Vernon F. Burke be ex-
PEELED from the Cleveland Bar Associa-
tion.
Secondhand the Secretary of the
association be directed to present a
copy of these findings to the Committee
of investigation, to be treated as a
complaint in writing, authorizing such
proceedings against Hon. Frank e. Del
lenbaugh, as they may deem proper.
Third-That the Secretary Of the as
sociation be directed to present a copy
of this report to the Circuit Court of
Cuyahoga County for such action in
the premises as the court may deem
proper.

in a copyright suit to-day, brought by
Emanuel Lederer against Mckee RAN
kin, Nance McNeill and Thomas Nc
Wicker, in which service was had upon
the defendants in this city in Septem-
ber last.
The plaintiff sought to restrain the
defendants from producing the play
of "Magdau," of which he claimed to
hold the copyright for America The
defendants moved to set aside the SER
vice, on the ground that the defend
ants were not residents of this. district.
The court held that in cases of play
wrights and copyists, service could
be had at any point where the defend
ants could be found, and that this
class of suits was not affected by the
statute governing service in other suits
in the United States. The motion
was denied.

This communication was sufficiently
serious for the contingency of the use of

cussion was to put summary stop to

This put an extinguisher on the pro-
posal. Nothing more was heard Of the
contemplated intervention. It never
got SO far as to be submitted to Eng
land. The whole design was checked at
the very outset by the calm audacity
with which the representative of Amer
lea played his cards, including the
trump card Of the Anglo-American en-
tente, which henceforth will play a
leading part in all the dealings Of the
English speaking people with jealous
