WAR CONDUCT INQUIRY
REVEALS THE ABSENCE OF RED
TAPE
Skaters Chief Commissary Says the
Lack of Supplies at Santiago Gave
No Cause Of Complaint

WASHINGTON, Dec. l6.-Brigadier Gen.
eral Weston, chief commissary of the Shaf-
ter expedition, testified today before the
war investigating commission that there
was an absence of red tape methods in feed
ing the volunteers at Siboney. He said he
never heard complaint of the condition
OF the commissary supplies at the front.
SO far as the food was concerned General
Weston characterized the Santiago cam.
paign as mere bagatelle, the hardships
being trivial compared to his own experience
IN frontier Indian campaigns, when he and
his men were forced to use the wagon mules
for food
The Rev. DR.. Henry G. McCook of Phila-
delphia, chaplain of the Second Pennsyl-
vania and commissioner of the National Re-
lief association, said that on his return from
Cuba he had called on President Mckinley,
August 9th, and added:
IF there was anything I did know and
he did not get it out of me am unaware
of it. He has wonderful powers Of cross
examination"
The president at that time commissioned
him to find and permanently. mark the
graves of the soldiers and he, did so.
Quartermaster General Ludington testi-
fed as to the operations of his department
prior to and during the war.
The chief difficulty in preparing the army
equipment, he said, was in securing the
duck and kersey for tents, both of which
were manufactured especially for the army.
acquisitions for tents were filled promptly
as rule, and he recolected very few DELAYS
in furnishing hospital tents.
