PENNSYLVANIA and Atlantic Coast Line

sons, including the nine commission
ers, their recorder and commissary Of

alive of the Associated Press.
1t is the expectation of the party to
practically live in it's train during the
absence from Washington. 1t is spe-
cial furnished by the Pennsylvania
Railroad company. and 1t has been
fitted out with the view of rendering
the party comfortable and at the same
time making it possible for its mem
bers to pursue their labors very much
as if they were in their quarters in
Washington.
The train consists of a combination
baggage and parior smoker, a Pullman
dining car, a sleeper composed eXclu-
siveiy of drawing for the men,
bers of the commission, a 12-section
double drawing-room sleeper and the
private car of General Dodge, chair
man of the commission. The party
will be personally conducted, and the
train will be in charge of one of the
Pennsylvania company's tourist agents
throughout the tour. The party will
reach Jacksonville about II; 80 o'clock
Monday and will remain there until
ready to move to another point. This
course will be followed at each stop

Secretary Alger Says No One Need
Fear to Testify.

Washington. Oct 16.-Secretary Alger
was asked tonight if it was the purpose
of the war department to take any Of
fetal action concerning the statements
made by Major Seaman. surgeon of the
First volunteer engineers.
Not at ALL" replied the secretary,
mot ut all. l want it to be understood
distinctly that any officer or man in
the army may speak freely and unre-
servedly concerning his observations of
the war without the slightest fear of
possible consequences. While / am
secretary of war no man shall be the
sufferer for speaking what he believes
10 be the truth.
above all, the witnesses who appear
before the war investigation commits
sion shall be protected to the fullest
extent. The commission and the coun-
try want the facts, and no obstacle will
be placed in the way of getting them.
We are all interested in having the
clearest light thrown upon the conduct
of the war. and the standing or promo
ton of no enlisted man or command
ing officer shall be affected in the
slightest way by any testimony or
other assistance he may give the COM
mission We mean to keep absolute
faith with the commission and with
the witnesses. 1 cannot be more ex-
plicit than that"

The principal procession left the Pla-
"a de Martis at o'clock for the ceme
terry, where were unveiled the monu-
ments presented by Cuban refugees
who live in Jamaica, in honor of Marti
and Cespedes. The widow of Cespedes
was the guest of honor.
The procession marched through the
principal streets, which were decorated
with flags and flowers. The ceremonies
at the cemetery were very impressive.
The address at the grave of Cespedes
was delivered by Senior Trujillo. editor
of Ell Porvenir. and that at Martfs
grave by Senior Ceriozo. The process
sion then went from the cemetery to
the slaughter house famed as the
scene of the massacre of the crew of
the Virginius and Of Cubans without
number
A striking commentary upon the I'M
willingness Of the Cubans to work is
the fact that Senior Trujillo, one of the
orators of the day, whose paper is an
extreme pro-Cuban organ, cannot hire
any one but a Spaniard to turn his
press.

NEWSPAPER REPORTERS LUCK.
Andrew Adams to Marry the Ha-
waiian Princess.

Chicago, Oct. ia special to the
Tribune from New York says: Princess
KaiIuani is again reported to be en-
gagged to be married. The chosen royal
consort to be is-or was-a reporter.
Andrew Adams by name, VINO but Il
short time ago was a member of the
staff of the Providence Or. u Journal,
and more recently of the Hawaiian
Star, in Honolulu. But a few weeks agD
il was announced. incorrectly, as 1t now
appears, in Honolulu and in this cOun-
try. that the successful aSpirant for
the hand of the heir presumptive TO The
remains of the throne of the Sandwich
islands, was Captain Putnam Bradley

Strong.
Young Adams is the son of a railroad
engineer of Winchendon. Mass, and is
about 80 years of age. After completing
his studies at the Worcester academy,
he entered Brown University in the
class of '95. Adams abandoned college,
newspaper work in Providence, r. l.
He then went TO Honolulu to accept

CONDITIONS AT HAVANA.
Drainage Pipes and Sewers Must Be
Laid-Industrial Stagnation.

Havana, via Key West, Oct. 16.-Drs.
Lane and O'Reilly have made report
to the surgeon general. insisting on the
immediate establishment of an Amer
lean fever hospital here. The existing
hospitals do not isolate yellow fever
patients and the result is that if a
person suffering from another COM
plant is removed to the hospital he
runs the risk of contracting the fever.
This was the case with StenograDher
Dalbey of the American evacuation
commission, who is suffering from ma
iarial fever. His next door neighbor IS
i'll with a fever of a different character.
Colonel Clous has received plan OF
every fortification on the island, each
one signed personally by General
Blanco. These plans had been request
ed by our commissioners ever since
their arrival, but were not delivered
until yesterday.
The transportation commission has
begun work upon the plans for the eX-
tension of the railroad to the camp at
Guanabacoa, which will be the first to
be got ready. They have asked for the
bids, and laborers are being employed
to push the work actively.
Colonel Waring has found Havana
dirtier than he anticipated. He says
it will be necessary to tear open the
streets and lay drainage pipes and
sewers. He sees no reason to fear an
epidemic, as there was no spread of
disease when the streets We're opened
recently to lay water pipes. He is sat
isfied with the excellence of Havana s
water supply.
Industry and commerce continue at a
standstill. Manv planters and mer-
chants who recently returned here, an
ticipating an early resumption of bust
ness, are going abroad again to wait
until affairs are settled in Cuba, as
they do not dare embark in business
ventures or risk a cent in the present
unsatisfactory and indefinite condition
of political affairs on the island. In
the meantime, the country daily grows
poorer. The sugar and tobacco crops
are unSown.
That the condition of the Cubans is
not so desperate or black as painted.
outside the fact that they are short of
rations. is confirmed by Colonel Rowan
and Lieutenant Parker, who, after
crossing the island five times. covering
100 miles and visiting every insurgent
camp in the island, report that the men
in the camps are efficient, we'll disci-

ment south until hospitals have been
established in the proposed camps. and
there is no danger of an outbreak of
yellow fever. This order was received
today, and General Graham Immediate
ly suspended preparations for the
movement, which was to have begun
on Oct. q. He says the Second corps
will not be sent south until cold wealth
er sets in, and that the last of the
troops will hardly get away from here
before the middle of November.
Special orders were issued today
granting an honorable discharge to
Major Jackson, chief surgeon at the
Second division hospital, and detailing
Major Joseph K. Weaver of Norristown
as his successor. Major Jackson has
resigned to accept the chair of surgery
in the University Medical college, Kan
sas City.
Two hospital cars filed with sick SOL
diers were sent away this afternoon.
The invalids were taken to Philadel-
phia hospitals which are now caring
for over 700 sick of the Second corps.
