HEOKER EXAMINED AGAIN.
War Inquiry Board Probes Some
Charges of Corruption.

| Washington. Dec. 10.-The Transport
tation to Spain by the United States of
the Spanish prisoners surrendered at
Santiago was taken up by the war in
vestigating commission and Colonel
Hecker. who made the contract for the
| United States, was recalled to testify on
this point. He said there had been a
! combine Of New York shipping concerns
| which would have caused an outlay of
II, 100000, while the actual outlay made
was s513,000 The most feasible bidder
was the Spanish Transatlantica COM
pany. Their bid. unlike the others, re-
lieved the government of all medical
attendance, and finally, on the govern
ments representations. the company
agreed to reduce its figures about $780,
300.
Colonel Hecker read long statement
signed by one William E. Ryan, detail
ing the alleged methods of the trans
portation bureau in connection with the
attempted sale of certain ships to the
government. Colonel Hecker said he
did not know Ryan. Several members
Of the commission said they would be
glad to summon Ryan if he could be
found. Asked If he was ever approach
purchase of ships, Colonel Hecker re-
piled:
Never but once. He spoke to me
once about a water barge, for which
there was no use at the time, and so
Informed him. l never had any other
communication from him, either direct
b or indirectly"
What part did the firm of which Abb
ner Mckinley is member play in the
sale of ships?" asked Ex-Governor
Woodbury..
None at all as to the army" replied
Colonel Hecker. II do not know as to
the navy
Asked as to Ryan's charge that there
was a subordinate in Colonel Heckers
Office who exercised much influence and
could be approached, Colonel Hecke-
replied that the negotiations were con-
Quoted directly and that no subordinate
in the Office could have exercised any
influence. That was the first direct
charge of corruption he had seen against
himself, as he considered himself re-
sponsible for what went on in his office.
He should he said, like to be confront
ed with Ryan. The commission decided
to summon Ryan If he could be found.

Siam, has returned here after visiting
Picking and the principal Chinese ports.

chief northern port for the movement
of American products. is also practical
ly Russian and Is liable to be closed

guard to the paramount American and
British interests. FIR. Barrett says, is
immediate and united action by the in

tegrity of the Chinese empire, to en-
force reforms in the government, to
prevent further cessions of ports and
provinces and to insist upon the open
door" policy in all ports of China.
