ALGER IN HIS OWN DEFENSE.
His Answer to the War Investign
t1On COMMITTEES,

His Answer to the War Investign-
ton Committee.
New York, Oct ia dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Alger has sent an answer
to the war Investigating commission,
which, in the words of one Of the COM
missioners, "does not answer" In
the first place." said this commis-
s:oner, "we asked who had been in
fuential in selecting the camp sites.
The only answer vouchsafed is that
Gen. Lee selected the camp at jack
sonville. l do not think any other
camp is mentioned. But this omission
will, no doubt be remedied in the sup
Elemental report for which we will
call on Secretary Alger."
Secretary Alger's report includes
about 5000 words, and in addition to
the Jacksonville camp matter covers
only these points: The selection of
Tampa as point of embarkation;
Rear Admiral SIMPSONS dispatch the
cause of fastening troops to Santiago;
Commodore {Remy's dispatch, the
cause Of the subsequent delay of the
& troops. Discussion of these topics ex-
hausts the report. No attempt seems
to have been made to explain the
causes Of the hardships suffered by
the soldiers in Tampa. Secretary. AL
ger will be asked for fuller answer. =
Members of the commission expect
to leave for a tour of the camps q
week from Monday. They may go
first to Camp Meade before it breaks
up. They will go to Jacksonville,
where Col. Bryan will be one Of the
important Witnesses The tour of the
camps will, it is thought, consume
about two weeks. The commission
will return to Washington and later to
New York city.
Three witnesses were before the
commission yesterday. Capt Culver,
Of the Grigsby rough, riders; Dr. Hy-
sell, chief surgeon of the Second di-
vision. located at Camp Thomas, and
Maj. Gallagher, who was in charge of
various commissary depots in the San
tiago campaign. DR.. Hyselrs testi-
mony dealt with the sanitary and hos
p1tal conditions at Camp Thomas He
said that there was less typhoid fever
in the troops of the Second division
than in the other divisions. and
stated that it it secured it's
water from outside springs in
S'ceiu VI Ilou CulChdulduSd river, as
he considered the river water liable to
be impure. Maj. Gallagher detailed
the process Of supplying rations to the
troops in the field. He said that at
one time there was a deficiency in cot
fee and sugar for two days, and ex-
pressed the opinion that this shortage
would have proved serious if it had
continued for any length of time. He
said the supply Of lighters was not
sufficient to permit the accumulation
Of any considerable quantity of food at
any one time ,..@.. .s-

Cass Lake, Mimi, Oct. 12.-Two en-
gines are now standing in front Of the
depot awaiting orders from Mai. Lib
bey. The right Of way has been OBJ
tanned from division superintendent,
both east and west, and the troops are
held in readiness to move should hostil-
tiles break out anywhere along the
line. Gov. Clough wired Maj. I1ibbey
to remain at this point, but this would
probably be modified should settlers
be attacked in the vicinity. Gov.
Clough's message occasioned consider
able surprise here, as none Of the Of
ficers had yet Informed him trip to
Bemidji was contemplated The ap-
peal for troops coming from Bemidji
early yesterday morning caused con-
sternation among the people here
when the prospects of a withdrawal
from this point became strong, and
they put up all sorts Of arguments
against it. The reports from Bemidji
last night are much more quieting, but
the people were nearly frightened out

st. Paul, Oct. 1.-THE department.
Of Dakota is undoubtedly preparing
for; an energetic campaign against
the belligerent Chippewa Indians.
This seems especially evident because
yesterday morning, acting on instruc-
tions from Gen. Bacon, Acting Adjt.
Gen. Sturgis telegraphed to the Rock
Island government arsenal for 10000
rounds Of ammunition, a third Of
which is for the Gatling and Hotch-
kiss guns now at the front, the rest
being Krag-Jorgenson and Springfield
an munition. The ammunition is ex-
pected to arrive by express as soon as
it~can be shipped here, either this aft
ernoon or tomorrow morning. 1t will
be sent to Fort Smelling, where it will
be held in reserve pending orders. q
A further Indication of Gen. kBacon's
determination to fight the Indians un-
til they surrender is apparent in his
order for ten days rations, to be sent
at once. - ~ .~.5
. All the ammunition at Fort Smelling
has been sent to the front, and the ad-
ditional equipment is, therefore, very
much needed. By order Of Maj. Stur-
gis nearly all the available Springfield
and artillery ammunition, amounting
to about 1000 rounds, was shipped by
express to the volunteer troops that
went north to garrison Farris and
Bemidji. Capt. French, quartermas-
ter of the department of Dakota, also
shipped to these points tentage and
camp equipment amounting to 5000
pounds, for the use of the volunteer
troops. The main object to be accom-
plished by these troops is TO guard
Farris and Bemidji :~@s e.

same time pick up any parties of the

Acting Adjt. Gen: Sturgis received
only one communication from Gen.
Bacon yesterday From the tenor Of
this dispatch Maj. Sturgis believes
that an effort will be made by the
military department to bring the In
1ans to terms and a sharp realization
Of the power Of the government that
they have defied in an open and bloody
attack on it's soldiers. Gen. Bacon did
not ask for further 9reinforcements,
but his telegram indicated that he
might do so. He asked for complete
details as to the local situation. He
wanted to know the number Of avail
able men at Fort Smelling and as to
the strength of the volunteers Of the
Twelfth and Fourteenth, together
with information as to stores, ammu-
milton and equipment.
you had better eprovide plenty Of
ammunition" telegraphed Gen. Bacon,
3'in case you are short, and have it on
hand ready to be shipped per order.
The situation here now isHmore serious
than it has been at any time"
Maj. Sturgis considers this state
ment from Gen. Bacon Of vast i'm
portance.

he generally begins to practice, and it
is matter Of considerably dificulty

winter Of 1890 he remained there ex-
actly forty-eight hours, twenty-seven

Mrs. Willard, the wife Of the English
actor, in appearance so resembles her

them as husband and wife, readily
would take them for brother and sis

which her husband has, and she is fur
ther distinguished by beautiful iron-
gray hair, which with Mr.. Willard also
is a marked feature.

turned to the east, and at the invita-
ton OF the maharajah of Karpurthala,
who. on the occasion OF her first visit
to Europe, wrote such an amusing ac-
count OF what he observed in London,

Alarming Report From McGregor-
Woman Driven From Her Home.
st. Paul, Oct. 12.-Attacks by Indians
guerrillas On defenseless settlers have
begun If this story from McGregor
proves true. IL.
E. c.. Blanchard, division superin-
tendent of the Northern Pacific. ele-
graphs from Barker that woman has
just brought this report to McGregor.
that her home at Portage lake, four
miles west Of McGregor, in Aitkin
county, was attacked by two dozen In
dians in war paint, who drove her
away. She believes her husband and
fatler were killed. General Superin-
tendent Kimberly, at st. Paul, who re-
ceived this message, at once turned
the information over to Gov. Clough.
Unless this woman Is Icing, this
is the most serious report since the
fight. There was no apprehension for
the soldiers. There was little chance
that they would be attacked. The
only fear was that the Indians would
begin indiscriminate warfare on the
woodsmen. and settlers.

Cass Lake, Mimi, Oct. 12.-Nott a
hostile Indian has been seen here yet
that is, one who has openly declared
his hatred for the settlers. There are
plenty of peaceful Indians here, who
hunt and fish and supply the settlers
here. They depend upon Cass Lake
patronage entirely, and this is cited as
a reason why there will be no trouble.
The arrival of Battery A has reas-
sured the timid ones, and they now
unhesitatingly take long trips into the
woods with no danger of parting COM
pany with their precious scalp locks.
Reports from the surrounding country
are disquieting to some extent, but no
special stress is placed on them. A
train crew passing Farris, a station
four miles from here, were peppered
with rocks, thrown through the win
dows Of the caboose, but it is just pos
sible that the depreciation was com
nnitted by drunken lumbermen as In

Quite an industry is now carried on
in the production of green gutta
percha from the leaves of tho
caoutchouc tree, q product which is
said to possess not only all the ad-
vantages of the article procured by
incision into the stem, but ever to
excel it in durability, thus promising
to enter largely into use industrially
and commercially in a hitherto un-
known way. 1t is not only readily
prepared, but is also cheap, and does
not require the expensive publication
which has hitherto increased the price
of the substance some fifteen to
twenty-five per cent. It is highly
plastic, very strong, a be divided
into the thinnest leaves, and receives
the most delicate and, at the same
time, most distinct impressions by
moulding and pressing. In addition
to these advantages there is the i'm
portant n of perfectly withstanding
action of water and the strongest
acids, and even in a worn and broken
up condition is still worth one-fourth
its cost of production.

Household Hints.

AAAs
To prevent flies from alighting or
picture frames or chandeliers, rub {
little oil of lavender on.
To remove flower pot stains from
window lodges, rub the stains with g
little fine wood ashes and afterward
rinse with clear water.
If a fshbone gets in the throat be.
You'd reach, swallow at once the white
of an egg, and it will generally carry
down the offending bone.
Fruit stains may be removed by
chloride of lime, but should it fail,
oxalic acid will do the work. Be
careful to we'll wash the fabric after
wards.
For the destruction of ants, spiders
and ~cockroaches, a strong solution of
alum in boiling water, poured over
the infested parts, will be found ex-
cellent.
Ribbons and silks may be cleansed
and freshened by washing in naphtha;
while grease spots on the most deli
cate fabrics may beremoved by spong-
ing the spot in naphtha.
Occasionally your pet canary bird
should be fed with a hard-boiled egg,
chopped fine aud mixed with cracker
crumbs, giving it not more than a
thimbleful of the mixture at a time.
Do not overlookthe fact that screens
at doors and windows catch and har-
Dor an immense amount of dust. They
should be busted often, and at least
once a week be vigorously brushed on
each side with a whisk broom.
The only way to learn to make good
coffee is to go to work and make it.
Try a half a dozen times, and do it
yourself, and you will know how. A
genius for cooking is an infinite capac-
ity for taking pains, if no other kind
Of genius is.
To clean old flower pots on which
green moss and a sort of white mold
has grown, scrub them vigorously
with sand and water. This will make
the pots look bright and new. Use
porous vessels only to pot plants in.
They will do better in such that in
tin cans.
A new way to disinfect a room is to
use a small disinfecting pan with q
reservoir that contains the disinfect-
ing liquid. This is to be heated and
converted into a gas by a flame be-
meath the reservoir. The gas is di-
rected through a nozzle to any part of
the room.
Lamp explosions arise from the
same conditions that produce explo-
sions in the case of kerosene cans,
The oil is allowed to burn too low, ex-
gas fills the space above the
and the gas is ignited by a draft
Of air or by an attempt to extinguish
it by blowing down the chimney. It
should be remembered that a full
can not explode.
