DR.. ooNoosTo ON CUBA.
Says the Problem is Social Rather Than
Political One.

| New York, September 27.-Dr. Joee
Congosto, secretary general of Cuga. and
member of the Spanish peace commission,
arrived in this city this morning on the
Edward Line G ity Of Washington. He is
on his way to Paris, where he will bsgin
his duties of the peace commission.
DR.. Congosto was somewhat reluctant
| to talk for publication, and when the sub
ject of affairs in Cuba was brought up he
hastened to assure the questioner that
everything twas beautiful.
"Of course" he said. you must under
stand that the evacuation of Cuba by
Spain is a matter of time, but when I
left Havana everything was progressing
well. do not care to enter into all the
reasons for the delay. but the principal
cause is the fact that be have over 900
sick who must be taken care of and can
not be left behind.
"The problem of the future of the is
land is u difficult on hand have studied
it without prejudice and as a result of
this study of years, believe that 1t Is a
social problem and not political one.
It is probable that there will be large
immigration to the island and this may
assist in solving the problem. OF course
difficulty will be met in view of the
diagnosis of fever and climate.
DR.. Congosto was asked as to the condi-
tion of the reconcentradOs.
There are no reconcentrados now," he
answered with a smile. They're gone,
God knows where" "
When asked as to the establishment of a
new navy for Spain. DR.. Congosto says:
"Spain Is still great country and she
ought to have great navy, and probably
will. I know nothing Of the plans to
raise funds for our war vessels, but be-
lieve that Spain In few years will have
another magnificent navy"
Discussing the fall of Santiago and the
surrender OF, General Toral, DIR. Congoste
says:
HThere were brave soldiers at Santiago
and if their leader lacked courage he de-
serves to be punished. Santiago should
not have fallen as it did. If Toral had
pushed forward Instead of retreating to-
wards the city, he certainly would have
caused repulse. These are the things he
will have to explain"

THE TWO COMMISSIONS.
American Board Not Agreed as to
Expansion.

EHParis, September 2s.-The United
States peace commission went into ses-
sion at II O'Clock this morning.
4 The Gaulois says: Eas3
SIN spite of the mystery surrounding
the matter, we are able from high
source to give an outline of the position
of both commissions. While the Ameri-
cans have instructions which are much
more precise than those of the Span
iards, there is diversity oflopinion in
regard. o'thes Philippines. Senator Gray
is very ardent Democrat, and. conse-
auently, belongs to the party which re-
pudiates expansion. He opposes all an
nexation and his opinion, therefore, total
ly differs from that of the other four
comm issioners, some of whom would be
content with q coaling station at the
Philippines possibly Cayite, while others
like Senator Davis advocate the annex
alton of the whole archipelago.
The Garlois, however. believes that the
Americans by mutual concessions, will
come to an agreement and that they will
be largely influential by Major General
Merritt s reports on the situation.
The instructions to the Spanish COM
mission, according to the Gaulois, are
briefly, to nolu Ou1 ana make tne DeSb
terms possibly.
Madrid is we'll aware, it says, that the
conferences ct best only have to please
the Spanish people and the only hopes
entertained are that the Americans will
not abuse the situation too much.
Popular sentiment In Spain, 1t is added,
thinks it better to abandon the Philip
pine islands than to keep them under
conditions rendering them ungovernable.
After the presentation of the American
commissioners, Senior Leon Castillo,
the Spanish ambassador. presented the
Spanish commissioners to M. Del Casse
The ceremonies were similar to those
gone through in introducing the members
OF the American commission. Both Gen.
Porter and Senior Castillo, the United
States and Spanish ambassadors. will be
present at tomorrow's S luncheon.
: Mr.. Peck today had an interview with
M. Brisson, the premier, in the course
of which III. Brisson promised to do all
he possibly could in regard to securing
extra space at the exposition for Ameri-
can exhibits, but said it was not likely
that any greater space than had been
allotted could be obtained. Mr.. Peck
started for Switzerland tonight for a
weeks holiday.

The action was taken at the request of
the governor Of Connecticut. A cable

bassy at London upon which the British
police officers acted. The next step in
the case will be for the district attorney
of Bridgeport to prepare evidence to be
used in London at the examination which
must be held as basis for her detention

brought to Washington by agents of the
state of Connecticut and the state depart

an inmate of the home for five years,
came up behind and shot him five times.
one ball taking effect under the right
shoulder blade, one over the right hip
and one through the right arm. The sur
geons think the wounds are not fatal.
There is no external bleeding, but fears
|of internal injury are entertained. At
times Bradley has acted strangely and it
was supposed he was mentally unsound.
The governor is resting easy. Bradley
was arrested.
Gov. Smith was in charge of the ma
tional home at Leavenworth for many
years. Early on the morning of June i.
1897, the governors residence on the
home grounds at LeavenwOrth was
wrecked by dynamite.
The governor, his wife and daughter,
escaped with minor injuries. The crime
was traced to veteran, Joseph W.Oliver,
an inmate Of the home, and he was con
yicted.
Gov. Smiths administration at the
Leavenworth home was marked by many
troubles. Later the management of the
home was Investigated by committee
from the House of Representatives,. Many
charges were preferred against Gov.
Smith, but the investigation resulted in
nothing more than his transfer to the
governor of the Pacific branch, where
he Was wounded today. Before becom-
ing governor of the Leavenworth home,
Gov. Smith was for three years treasurer
Of the national soldiers home at Togus,
Me. Charges preferred against him there
by the governor of that home, led to his
transfer In 1885 to Leavenworth.

Washington, September 2S.-Only four
members of the commission appointed to
investigate the conduct of the war were
present at the session today and In the
absence of replies to the interrogatories
sent to the secretary of war and his sub
ordinates, very little business was tran
sacted.
Col. DENLY was elected vice chairman
of the commission and in the absence OF
chairman Dodge, presided over today's
session. The only important matter
brought to the attention of the commits
sion was a report by General Wilson OF
the engineer department of the army OF
which he is the chief. No statement was
called for from him, because there were
no charges against his department. but
General Wilson, being member OF the
commission concluded that to furnish one
would be an appropriate proceeding. The
document was held for disposition by the
full commission aud consequently was
not given to the press. 1t is detailed
statement showing the condition of the
d. .rtment on the first Of last April, just
before tie declaration Of wal, las compared
with it's condition on the 31st OF August

ten by Gen. Wilson to his suhordinatef
throughout the country just before the be-
ginning of the war, advising them OF the
prospect for hostilities and directing what
course they should pursue as members
of the engineers department..

At Its afternoon session, the commission
adopted a resolution declaring that 1t
could not act upon requests from army
officers and privates for assistance In So

other like fayors. A large number Of
such requests have been received by the
members of the commission and 1T WAS

Eat IMPROPER FOOD.
Alger Says That's Matter With the
Soldiers.
SECRETARY MAKES VERBAL Re
PORT TO THE PRESIDENT.

Found Camps in General Satisfactory but
There We're Numerous Points Which
Might Be Improved On-some Things
Can't Be Helped.
Washington, September 28.-Secretary
Alger today made verbal report to the
President on the inspection of the army
! camps which he has just concluded. Hs
lost no time in reaching the White House
and for two hours and half he was oc-
| cupied in communicating his observs-
tions to the President.
On leaving the White House, Secretary
Alger said he was much gratifed with
the condition of the camps generally. Hs
refrained from specifically charging ex-
aggeration of conditions of camp life but
sal the results of the trip of inspection
were quite satisfactory. He had visited
every one of the camps and hospitals. He
was gratifed especially to find the men
in the hospitals steadily improving sand
where the odds sagainst them from their
maiadies had been great.
In gensral way the camps were kept
satisfactorily but there were numerous
points which might be improved upon.
"The main trouble said Secretary
Alger, (which I founds was, perhaps,
the matter of troops taking care of them
selves. At some points the eating tents
outside the camps conducted by private
enterprise, proved too tempting for SOL
diers and the results of improper and
injudicious taking OF food soon mani

of the men. These are things which
sometimes cannot be helped and where
there was a most rigid discipline along
these lines. the improved state of affairs
was very evident.
Secretary Alger says ths report Of
scene in General Breckinridges's head
quarters at Lexington when he was in
specting that camp, is absolutely without
foundation. There was no scene. no high
words and no excited language. The
secretary says the story was made out of
whole cloth. Secretary Alger and Gener
ais Ludington and Sternperg each have
letters from General John A. Wiley, who
against them. expressing his regret that
any such rel port was circulated. That to
Secretary A 1ger follows:

My Dear Gen eral Alger:

any other time with reference to your
self, General Ludington or General Stern
berg, except in expression of the highest
regard and respect for your successful
and faithful performance of great task
