CASE OF SURGEON TABOR.
Testimony Taken in Regard to Pri
vate Parrett's Death.


vate Parrett's Death.
WASHINGTON, Oct 1O.-The board of in
quiry appointed to investigate the charges
against Contract Surgeon Tabor growing
out of the death at Camp Wikoff of Private
Hugh Parrett, of the Eighth Infantry (reg-
ulars), has submitted It's report to Secre-
tary Alger The board presents simply the
leSumony taken in the course Of the in
qulry, making no recommendations The
charges against DR.. Tabor were, in brief.
that he neglected to attend and prescribe
Tor Private Parrett, and that the soldiers
death was due directly to the negligence or
incompetence of the surgeon.
The evidence taken by the board shows
that DR.. Tabor did prescribe for Parrett.
and that he attended him twice on the dav
Of his death. Not fifteen minutes before
the man died DIR. Tabor was talking to him
in front of his tent. The man was then
suffering from case of acute pneumonia.
superinduced by a bath which he had taken
IN the surf only short time before. Par
rett had been ordered by one of the SER
geants Of his company to take a bath and TO
go to the cooks tent to get warm water in
which to bathe. For some reason Parrett
ala not get the warm water, but went to
the beach and plunged into the surf The
SAOSA PlOuUCSu ny the COlQ sea water on
his system, which was much reduced by
leVer ana other diseases, was so great that
pneumonia instantly developed and he died
in short time. The evidence further shows
that DR.. Tabor was very cross with Parrett.
and that he spoke to him sharply This was
accounted for in the testimony by the fact
that DIR. Tabor was himself nearly i'll from
the effects of the hard work he had been
doing and was nervous and unstrung.
The report of the board of inquiry was
referred to Judge Advocate General Leiber.
and by him returned to the secretary of
war, with the opinion that the charges
against DR.. Tabor would not lie under the
testimony. The matter was then referred
to Surgeon General Sternberg, who decided
that in the circumstances, the best course
to pursue would be TO relieve Dr. Tabor
from duty by canceling his contract as an
army surgeon. The necessary steps to this
end will be taken at once.

TRYING TO SWAY AMERICANS.
far1s Editors Urge Peace Commits
sioners to Be Generous.


PARIS, Oct. 10.-The United States peace
commission held two sessions to-day. They
were devoted to acquiring and weighing in
formation relative to all the questions in
volved in the matters under the immediate
believed that the questions now uppermost
relate to Cuba and the adjustment of the
debt Of that island.
The Paris newspapers show evidence of
anxiety in behalf of the Spanish cause The
Matin on Sunday alleged that an under
standing regarding Cuba and Porto Rico
was possible, "as the United States claims
everything and Spain refuses nothing, but
the difficulty arises on the question of the
Philippine islands" The Matin closed its
remarks on the subject by expressing the
belief that I'VE shall see the Republic,
which has just shown herself to be so brave
and strong. show herself also generous"
AS the joint commissions have not yet
considered the Philippine question, the
Paris papers appear to Americans as MAX
ing the statement that the Philippines are
under consideration in order to be in a posi-
ton to adjure the American commission to
treat Spain generously.
The Gaulois this morning reviews the po-
litical situation and draws the conclusion
that between the alleged Republican pur-
pose of expansion and the Democratic op-
position thereto President Mckinley and the
United States commission will be inspired,
after all, with the sentiments of generosity
which are the honor of victorious nations"
The keynote Of these expressions seems
to have been sounded by Spanish diplomat
to an American here last week. the diplomat
saying that the United States should be
generous to Spain.
A dispatch from Madrid this morning says
the cost of the Cuban and Philippine cam
paigns will exceed 1900, 900, 600 pesetas.

bassador at Washington arrived in Paris

NEW YORK, Oct. 1O.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: Secretary
Alger has sent an answer to the war in
vestigating commission which, in the words
of one of the commissioners, does not an
swer.' In the first place., said this COM
missioner, we asked who had been in
f1uential in selecting the camp Sites The
only answer vouchsafed is that General Lee
selected the camp at Jacksonville. 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 Secretary Alger.'
Secretary Alger's replies include about
three thousand words, and in addition to
the Jacksonville camp matter covers only
these points: The selection Of Tampa as a
point of embarkation; Rear Admiral Samp-
sons dispatch the cause Of Fastening troops
to Santiago; Commodore Remey's dispatch
the cause of the subsequent delay of the
troops. Discussion of these topics exhausts
the report"

ARMY CHANGES.
General Breckenridge to Leave the
Volunteer Service.

Volunteer Service.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The order des-
ignating the general officers to be mustered
out of service dated Oct. was published
officially to-day and at the head of the list
was Major General Joseph c. Breckenridge,
whose name was not in the first publica-
ton. General Breckinridge will return to
duty on Nov. 80 as inspector general of the
army. General Breckenridge was to have
commanded the First Corps, which post now
will be occupied by Major General James
II. Wilson 1t is also understood that there
will be other changes in the commands of
army corps stationed in the South. General
Wheeler, who will command the Fourth
Corps, stated before leaving Washington
that he expected to resume his seat in the
House soon after it met General Graham,
who is to command the Second Corps, has
retired as brigadier general, and the ques-
ton has arisen as to whether he shall be
continued longer in the volunteer service.
The attorney general has rendered an opin-
ion that there is no reason why he should
not, but there is feeling among army off,
GERS that this would not be altogether fair
to the younger men and it is probable
Generals John G. Bates and Adna r.
Chaffee later on will succeed to command
of the Second and Fourth Corps and Gen.
Wilson will continue to command the First
Corps.

moved to FL Poso, seven miles inland. AT
this point there were never enough rations
on hand for even a day ahead, and it was
impossible to I'LL all the acquisitions. There
was a shortage in coffee and sugar, which
continued for two or three days, because of
the high surf at Siboney All the rations
were good, but in some cases the hard bread
would be injured by sudden showers. When
this happened the bread was thrown aside
and not issued. Some potatoes, onions, to-
matoes and canned beef had been thrown
away at Santiago, being spoiled. Major
Gallagher said there was shortage of
lighters, but he was not able to say why this
was true.
NOT ENOUGH LIGHTERS.
Colonel DENLY pressed for information as
to the shortage of coffee and sugar, and
Major Gallagher stated that there were
probably two days when the men were
without these articles. A storm was the inn
mediate cause of this deficiency, but if there
had been sufficiency of lighters this de-
ficiency would not have occurred. The
major said there was not to his knowledge
shortage in any other article of food dur
ing the campaign
Mr. DENLY told him there was complaint
of deficiency covering a months time
but Mr.. Gallagher said he knew nothing
Of it.
Suppose" asked General McCook, 'this
shortage of rations had lasted for seven
days instead of two, what would have been
the result?
I'VE would probably have had to face
back" replied Major Gallagher, Men can
not fight on short rations."
Major Gallagher said that of the five CIV
ilian assistants he had had two. were in
efficient and Indifferent to their duties. They
were Captain Lord of New York. and
Captain Ryan, Of Kansas.
Mr. Gallagher said the commissary supply
at Montauk was abundant and good while
he was at that point.
General Beaver to-day received a letter
from Mrs. Hugo Lange, of Brooklyn, who
participated in the relief work at Montauk
Point, relating to her interview with Presi-
dent Mckinley when he visited Camp
Wikoff. She was reported to have said to
the President that some of the men were
carried out in a dying condition in order
to get rid Of them" This. she says, she
did not say, but she asked If in passing
through the wards the President did not
notice the number of empty cots. He re-
piled that he had noticed them, and she
then requested him to ask why the men
were without care in the detention and in
some of the regimental hospitals. The letter
continues Il will also ask you to go back

arrived and investigate why no prepara-
ton was made to receive and care for our
