Food Growing Scarce at Santiago

CAPE HAITIEN, Haiti, June
1.-The condition of the popula-
tion of Santiago since the Begin
ming of the blockade has grown
rapidly worse, and it is now said
to be nearly desperate. Food is
very scarce and the poor people
are finding it almost impossible to
obtain any, because of the enor-
nous prices. The expectation is
general that Santiago must soon
fall into the hands of the Arneri-
cans.

COVERS ONLY A FEW POINTS
DUMB ON THE SELECTION OF
 CAMP SITES
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald sends the following: Secretary Alger has sent an answer to the War Investigating Commission, which, in the words of one of the commissioners to me tonight, 'does not answer"
 Tn the first place." said this com missioner, i've asked who had been in- fluential in selecting the camp sites The only answer vOuchsafed Is that General 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 supplemental report for which we will call on Sec retary Alger"
 Secretary Alger's report, in addition to the Jacksonville camn matter, covers only these points: Selection of Tampa as point of authorization; Rear Ad- miral SampSOns diSOatch the cause of haStening troops to Santiago; Commo- dore Remy's spook dispatch the cause of subsequent delay of the troops. Dis Cussion of these topics exhausts the re- port. No attempt seems to have been made to explain the causes of the hard ships suffered by the soldiers in Tampa.
 Then the arraignment of Sampson and Remy is approached with pOmp and ceremony. As exclusively stated in the Herald two days ago, these dis patches were sc managed in Adjutant General Corbin's report that they should be emphasized before the com mission. In the face of the subsequent denial of General Corbin, as reported, comes practically a direct charge from Secretary Alger that the very dispatch es quoted so significantly and triumph antly are relied upon by Secretary AL ger as the chief point of his defense.
 The Commissioner who talked with me failed to see how these dispatches bore upon any alleged neglect except in a distant and perhaps irrelevant way.
 What we want to know" said he, lis why these men suffered, If they did suffer, unnecessarily. We get no suffl- cient answer in the report

 It is expected that General Brooke will send three and possibly five regi- ments of volunteers, now in Porto Rico, back to the United States soon after the arrival of the troops which sailed to- day. The returning troops are expect ed to leave Porto Rico probably on Sunday, the 16th inst.

SKATER PLEASED WITH
 <WHEELER'S TESTIMONY

NEW YORK, Oct. A Kalamazoo, Mich, special to the Herald says: Gen eral Shafter has been here since last Thursday, and will remain several days visiting old friends and scenes of his bOyhood. Speaking of the work of the War Investigating Commission. Gener- al Shafter said:
 General Wheelers testimony before the Investigating committee Is very forcible and very convincing. but wait until the line officers tell their stories. They will not be as cautious as General Wheeler, and will tell a story that will not only cOrrObOrate General Wheeler, but be much stronger.
 General Miles and others may say that this commission is not legal. Per haps not, but the testimony it Is bring ing out will satisfy the public that the stories paraded up and down he land about neglect and starvation and need less suffering of troops at Santiago have been grossly exaggerated for political purposes"

SITUATION GROWS
 0MIN0US ONCE MORE
Belief That the Supposedly Friendly Indians Are Joining Their
 Warlike Tribesmen.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minr. Oct. A special to the Tribune from it's staff correspondent at Walker says: The situation tonight is more oninous than ever. At the agency to-day a council was held between the Indians, General Bacon, Colonel Farbach. Indian Agent Sutherland and Marshal O'Connor The result of the conference was not in any way like that of those previously held except in the fact that not one of the leading men of the different bands was present
 There were, however, representatives present from Bear Island, Cass Lake Otter Tail Point and Pine Point, but none of these have any influence with the tribesmen The only conclusion to be drawn is that the leaders of the diff ferent bands sent men there merely as stool pigeons. and that others of their number are now preparing for the war path.
 A most significant fact is this: On Saturday thirty canoe loads of Bear Island Indians and their families, pro- fessing to be peaceful, arrived at the agency. To-day every one of the bucks Tn the party left, but whither they have gone is only to be surmised There is little doubt, however, that they have left Tor Bear Island to join those who are already prepared to fight There must De by this time several hundred armed men on the island, and from what can be learned to-day many more are on the road.
 Two or three of the Bear Island men who are still on the agency have hee1 questioned in regard to last Wednes- days battle. but they positively stated that they knew nothing whatever In regard to the dead and wounded among the Indians, and had seen none of those who were in the fight
 General Bacon answered that the last council would be held on Monday. and the Indians dispersed.
