THE RAR INVESTIGATION.
An Important Point Developed Through
Major La Gnrdo'S Testimony.

ululoE La NhEUu'u Agutltu0Aye
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nov. 15.-An
important point was developed by the
war investigating commission to-day
through the examination OF Major La
Garde, one Of the surgeons In charge
OF the hospital at Siboney. It was that
OF the 1900 or 1,4O0 wounded men treat
ed in the hospital only eleven had died.
This was less than per cent, and DR..
La Garde Ventured the statement that
no war history showed so small NOR
taEfty among wounded men. The testl-
mony Of Colonel L. w. Jacobs, who was
In charge OF the transportation factu-
ties at Santiago, indicated that the rea-
son why camp eQuIpage and cooking
utensils had not been forwarded from
the coast to the troops on the battle
line in front OF Santiago was to be
found In an order issued by General
Shafter expressly forbiddingit The or
der provided that only ratlonS and for
age should be sent forward. Colonel
Jacobs declared that the Quartermas-
ters department was not responsible
for the condition of inadequate camp
supplies at the front, as the officers
merely obeyed the orders Of the COM
mandlnE general.
