Why this was true.
Colonel Denby pressed for information

Major Gallagher stated that there were
probably two days when the men were
without these articles. A storm was the
cause Of this deficiency, but II there had
been a sufficiency of lighters, this deficiency
would not have occurred. The major said
there was not, to his knowledge, short

The Parrett Case
WASHINGTON. Oct. 10.-The board Of
inquiry appointed to investigate the
charges against Contract Surgeon Tabor,
growing out of the death at Camp Wikoff
of Private Hugh Parrett of the Eighth In
fantry (regulars). has submitted It's re-
port to Secretary Alger.
The board presents simply the testimony
taken in the course of inquiry, making no
recommendations.
The charges against DR.. Tabor were, In
brief, that he neglected to attend and pre-
scribe for Private Parrett, and that the
soldiers death was due to negligence or
incompetency Of the surgeon.
The evidence taken by the board shows
that DR.. Tabor did prescribe for Parrett,
and that he attended him twice on the day
of his death. Not fifteen minutes before
the man died DR.. Tabor was talking to
him In front of his tent. The man was then
suffering from a case Of acute pneumonia.
superinduced by bath which he had taken
in the surf only short time before.
The report of the board of inquiry was
referred to Judge Advocate Lieber and by
him returned to the secretary of war with
the opinion that the charges against DIR.
Tabor would not lie under the testimony.
The matter was then referred to Surgeon
General Sternberg, who decided that un-
der the circumstances the best course to
pursue would be to relieve DR.. Tabor from
duty by canceling his contract as army
surgeon. The necessary steps to this end
will be taken at once.

WASHINGTON. Oct 10-The order des-

Gen. Breckenridge was to have commando

occupied with Maj. Gen. James H. Wilson.
It is also understood that there will be
other changes In the commands Of army
corps stationed in the south.
Gen. Wheeler, who win command the
Fourth corps, stated before leaving Wash.
ineton that he expected to resume his seat
In the house soon after 1t meets.
Gen. Graham. who Is to command the
Second corps, has been retired as br:ga-
dier general, and the question has risen
as to whether he shall be continued longeN
N the volunteer service. The attorney gen.
eral has rendered an opinion that there Is
no reason why he should not, but there Is
feeling among army officers that this
would not be altogether fair to the young
men. and It Is probable that Gen. Bates and
Gen. Iawton win succeed to the Second
and Fourth army corps, and Gen. Wilson
Will continue to command the First corps.

nat
dians will see that they have made great
mistake In going on the warpath," says
Geronimo. the famous Apache chief, who
is one of the Indians now in camp at the
Indian Congress.
Il have never been In Minnesota, but 1
heard that up there and for hundreds of
miles beyond the white men are as many
as the blades of grass. If that Is so. what
can few poor Indians do in a fight? They
are making q great mistake and are fools
For years fought the white men, thinking
that with my few braves 1 could kill them
all and that we would again have the land
that our great father gave us and which
he covered with game thought that the
Great Spirit would be with us and that
after we had killed the white man the
buffalo, deer and antelope would come
back. After fought and lost, and after
Travelled over the country in which the
white man lives and saw his cities and the
work that he had done, my heart was ready
TO burst I knew that the race Of the In
dian was rum"
Asked what he thought would eventually
become Of the Indians, Geronimo said, and
pointed to the west:
THE sun rises and shines for while and
then it goes down, sinking out of sight,
and it is lost. So 1t will be with the In
dians.
when I was a boy my father told me
that the Indians were as many as the leaves
on the trees, and that off in the north
they had many horses and furs. I never
saw them, but I know that II they We're
there then they have gone now, and the
white man has taken all they had. 1t VII
