While there is not the faintest desire

Havana, as result of the unfortunate

the authorities to a sudden realization
of the exact state of affairs in Havana

such outbreak, which, perhaps, might
run into the proportions of a riot and
cost many innocent lives. With only a

Further RiotinE At Havana During the
Funeral Of Cuban.
HAVANA, Dec. 14.-About 9 q. m.
when funeral procession was escorting
the hearse containing the remains of
Jesus Sotolongo, who was killed in the
riot of Sunday night, reached the corner
of Infanta and San Jose streets, vio-
lent ARRAY took place between members
of the funeral party and some employees
of the military hospital. The following
were wounded: DR.. Betancourt, Cuban
deputy for Santiago de Cuba; Rafael
Portundo, Cuban deputy; Cuban Gen
eral Vidal; Cuban Colonel Armando
Rivas; Francisco Lucas Blanco, Span
lard; Ramon Garcia, Spaniard; three
women and two children. Garcia, who
was stabbed, may die, and Portundo
was badly hurt.
One version of the ARRAY is that the
military hospital employees and num-
Der of Spanish privates, who were
standing in the hospital portico, refused
to remove their hats when requested to
do so by persons in the procession.
Thereupon the Cubans, it is alleged,
tried to knock off the hats and q fight
ensued.
The privates fired upon the procession,
the windows of the hearse being broken
and bullets striking the coffin. Knives
and pistols were freely used.

Commanding Officers for Conditions.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Lieutenant
Colonel Hartsuff, chief surgeon at Camp
Thomas under General Brooke, was
again before the war investigating COM
mission and testified that the supplies
on hand there were meagre. He went
to that camp April Is and at the begin
ming called for supplies in bulk, but
they were not sent. He said there was
no provision at all in advance for large
body of troops there and that there was
no hospital furniture with the first sup
plies received.
" "Were the various regiments that ar
rived supplied with such medicines as
they needed in such quantities as were
wanted?" DR.. Conner asked.
'In no instance" was the reply.
Blames Commanding Omce1s.
Witness said because of the deficiency
supplies had to be peddled out very scant-
lily, giving just enough to last from day
to day. He said there were instances in
which his. recommendations were disre-
garded by the commanding general. He
said all his recommendations as to SAM
tary matters were practically only paper
manifestos and th4 evils complained of
were not eradicated. The responsibility
for tho unsanitary condition of the
Chickamaugua camp rested on. higher
shoulders than the medical Department.;
that the department had exerted every
effort, but he was reluctant to name
General Brooke, who was in command,
as responsible, though not hesitating to
say his reports and recommendations
repeatedly were unavailing.
