The Military Governor Has Succeeded
in Bringing Order Out of tho Chaos
That Issued Upon the Departure OF
the Spaniards.
I Santiago de Cuba. Oct. 1.-THE
health of the United States troops now
in the province of Santiago has con-
siderably improved, not more than 10
per cent now being on the sick list.
Most of-tffe' cases of indlspOsition are
merely light malarial fevers. Yellow
fever has been practically stamped out
of the city by the systematic cleaning
process put into operation.
For several weeks Major Barber, who
is at the head of the street cleaning
department. has had 800 men engaged

which is burned at one or the other
Of the crematories. General Wood has
shown wonderful executive ability In
bringing order out Of the chaos that
issued upon the departure of the Span
iards. He is without question one of
the most popular officials in this part
OF the island. In making appointments
he places no personal favorites, but
takes the verdict of SO of the most
prominent Cubans, who are answerable
for the honesty and efficiency of the
candidates they propose.
General LaWton Is well satisfied with
the soldierly qualities displayed by his
men since they have been here. and all
reports from other places in the prov
ince as to the behavior of the American
troops are equally satisfactory. There
has been very little drunkenness. which.
when one remembers that. as soldier
tersely puts it, drink is cheap. and
you are always thirsty" is really re-
markable.
officers Of all grades. and even en-
listed men, are receiving letters by ev-
cry mail from persons in the United
States asking for information as to the
possibilities for Investment in this part
of Cuba. In the early future there
ought to be numerous openings, but
at present General Wood advises in
vestors not to come If they intend their
investments to take the form of land
purchase. as the records and archives
have been left in a shocking state by
the Spanish authorities, presumably
with the intention of making additional
difficulties for their successors.
A man with little capital would do
well here with small laundry. an
American bakery or small store with
good groceries. Such enterprises could
be made to pay from the very outset.

THE WAR INVESTIGATORS.
ON ,ers Still Denying Charges of Neg
lect and Shortage of Food.

Iect ana shortage OF ROOD.
Washington, Oct. 1.-THE war inves.
tigating commission had three Witness
es before 1t yesterday-Captain Culver.
of the Grfss5y rough riders ;,Dr. Hysell,
chief surgeon Of the Second division. To-
Gated at Camp Thomas, and Major
Gallagher. who was in charge of va
riOus commissary depots In the Santi-
ago campaign. DIR. Hysel's testimony
dealt with the sanitary and hospital
conditions at Camp Thomas. He said
that there was less typhoid fever In the
troops of the Second division than in any
other division, and stated that upon
his advice the division hadksecured its
water from outside springs, instead Of
from the Chickamauga river. as he con-
sidered the river water liable to be i'm
pure. Major Gallagher detailed the pro-
cess of supplying rations to the troops
In the field. He said that at one time
there was a deficiency in coffee and
sugar for two days, and he expressed
the opinion that this shortage would
have proved serious If 1t had continued
for any length of time. He said the
supply of lighters was not sufficient to
cradle quantity of food at any one time.
Captain Culver said that he had been
stationed at Camp Thomas. Chicka-
mauga. from May until he was mus
tered out on Sept. II. His company
had been located in the woods. but
while the site was dry. he thought they
would have been better off in the open.
The food generally was abundant and
good. At first they only received fresh
meat two or three times week. and
for a week the bread was hard, but
this was soon rectified. On one occa-
sion the meat was tainted, but 1t was
condemned and exchanged. He stated.
however, that the tainted meat was not
badly spoiled. and that he would have
been glad enough to have had
use of 1t In the civil war. Captain
Culver metioned an instance when the
bacon received was wormy and when
the command first arrived there was
shortage of tentage, but these defects
had been speedily remedied.

Fever situation More Serious

! jackson, Miss, Oct. 1.-THE fever
situation here Is more serious today.
With the appearance of the disease in
North Jackson there is no section Of
the city free from infection. and new
cases are multiplying already. DR.. ].
II. Purnel. state health officer, has is
sued the following procamation: "Yel-
low fever is appearing in all parts Of
the city. The spread Is becoming gen.
eral, and as 1t will be three or four
weeks before cold weather can reason
ably be expected, it is again urged that
all parties who possibly can do SO, leave
at once for northern or other points
that will receive refugees. Remaining
in Jackson several days longer will
make 1t dangerous to leave"

Mr.. Merritt was not present at this af-

NAVAL MILITIA.
The Massachusetts Contin-
gent Warmly Praised.

Washington, Nov. Capt. John r.
Bartlett, who was in command of the
United States auxiliary naval force
during the war, has submitted a re-
port showing how that force was or
ganized with expedition and thorough
ness, in spite of the short period of
time available for the excellent service
it rendered. In the course of the re-
port ne speaks of the naval militia in
terms of highest praise. 1t was the ma
val militia that was called upon to
man first the coast defense monitors
next the coast signal system, and then
the vessels of the auxiliary navy as
signed to coast work. OF the last call,
he says:
This call was one which taxed to
the utmost the resources of the naval
militia organization, coming closely as
II did upon that for volunteers to man
the monitors, but it was responded to
with most gratifying alacrity TO fill
the complement of these vessels each
organization called upon contributed
about $50 men. AS examples of the
promptness with which the call was
met, the contingent from the first ma
val battalion, New York, reported uni
formed, armed, equipped and ready for
duty in six hours after receiving notice
ana the contingent from the Massa-
chusetts naval brigade. which was
notified at l o'clock on a Saturday af-
ternoon arrived at the New York navy
yard fully prepared for service on the
Pralrle at O'Clock the next morning.
For the first time in the history of the
navy professional men, business men
ana men of leisure and highest educa-
ton were brought into the lower rat
lhgs' ana from the reports which have
come incidentally to my notice, it an
pears that they served with great in
telllgence and enthusiasm, and after a.
snort experience made good men of
Warsmen, although they had had little
or no training as Sea-going sailors,
ana exhibited some of the lack of
knowledge of the care of property and
themselves that is common to all vol
unteers.
On the whole, the work of the Off
GERS and men from the naval militia
was performed in a thorough and eff
clent manner, but our recent expe-
flence shows that there is O certain
class OF work which they should not
undertake to do. Their anxiety to see
active service and to get away from
receiving ships led many men of edu-
cation to enlist as coal passers and
other ratings, which they We're not
physically competent to fill. This. Of
course, was quickly discovered and
easily remedied without mishap. and
only resulted in the discontinue of
the men themselves"
capt, Bartlett says that these milli-
TIA men were called upon to perform
duties that should never have been i'm
posed upon them willingly. such as
augmenting the crews of blue Jackets
aboard regular naval vessels This
should never happen again, he saws
and therefore he recommends the Gre
alton of system of naval reserves
based upon some part of the militia
where the men have shown themselves
experts IN revenue marine service and
tne me saving service. He submits
lhe graft OF q bill to provide for re-
serve on these lines.
