Example for the Msn-Ac-
Kay In Contradiction.

Washington, Dec. AT to-day's ses-
sion the testimony Of Captain Mckay.
who vas in charge Of transports of the
Santiago expedition, was continued.
Captain Mckay also s~uperintended the
embarkation of the troops that came
north from Santiago after the surren-
der, and he Indignantly denied any of
the published statements regarding the
hlthy condition Of h transports. He
cited the case OF the Allegheny partic-
ularly. That vessel had been criticised
especially. yet he insisted that IL was
one of the best ventilated and one of
the best cared-for ships Of the trans
port fleet. There had been plenty of
ice for the ships at Santiago. mainly
supplied by the Red Cross. and ne had
personally superintended the loading of
the supplies for the ships.
He himself came north on the Seneca.
She was crowded with sick soldiers
from Siboney. He admitted that many
OF, the soldiers were berthed between
the decks, hat the water was unpalat-
able. caused by the rolling of the ship,
and that the soldiers suffered other dis
comforts. but many of the crew were
sick N there were extenuating cir
cumstances. He heard no complaints Of
lack of medicines. In conclusion he
gave IL as his opinion that when the
expedition sailed IL had ample facilities
for landing.
The difficulties subsequently encount-
cred were due to the loss of some of the
lighters and a tug en- route and the
rough waters in the harbor at Siboney.

chief engineer upon General Brooke's
staff. followed Captain Mckay. He

a very good example for the rest of
the corps. He thought there were bet
ter sites in the park than those occu-
pied. hut they were mainly In the north
ern part. which had been reserved for
the 9th army corps. The witness de-
scribed General Brooke's expedition to
Porto Rico. He could not answer for
any vessel except the st. Louis. upon
which he was embarked.
The condition OF that ship" he said,
was awful. The state rooms were not
cleaned. he bedding was foul. there
was no ventilation and the meats We're

the American liner caused much evil

General McCook said he a made a

lated as the deck rooms.
