VAR DEPARTMENT. INQUIRY.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The var IN
vestigat;ng commission devoted its
time Saturday largely to the consider
alton OF statement fled by Nelson
Hersch on behalf of the New York
World, giving what he styles "a
record Of facts concerning the estab-
lishment of Camp Wlkoff and it's man
agement, together with specific
instances of abuses, charged to have
existed, dates, number of sick in hos
pitfalls, deaths, ETC." The statement
was made in response to the general
invitation from the commission. The
specifications cover twenty-one pages
OF type written matter, taking up the
movement of the Santiago troops after
the surrender of the Spanish at that
place and before the breaking out of
yellow fever there in July.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The war in
vestiga,ion committee decided to begin
the taking of testimony to-day, when
Gen. Wheeler will be present. A large
number of complaints are being re-
ceived. Surgeon General Sternberg
has invited the commission to visit his
office for the purpose of Investigating
the methods employed in his Office dur
ing the war.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-General Joe
Wheeler was before the investigating
commission yesterday. He declared,
that so far as his observation went, the
soldiers lacked neither food nor medi-
cines. He had known of no instance
of sick or wounded men dying for want
of care from physicians. He said the
development of disease was due to the
climate and the exposure made neces-
sary. The regulars, he declared, took
better care of themselves than the vol
unteers. At Montauk, he said, ';there
were undoubtedly individual cases of
suffering and of neglect, but they were
the exceptions"
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Gen. Wheeler
resumed his testimony before the in
vestigating commission yesterday. He
maintained that conditions at Camp
Wikoff were not bad. The drinking
water was not contaminated. There
was plenty to eat. The sinks were
carefully looked after. Hepraised the
work of all the supply departments and
said the medical department were eff
fcient. Gen. Boynton, who has been
on duty at Camp Thomas, followed
Gen. Wheeler. He pronounced the
camp one of the health1est spots in the
country. He declared the water was
not contaminated and the camp was
not crowded. He declared mo army
was ever so we'll supplied, and if the
men did not know how to cook GER
tainly Secretary Alger nor President
Mckinley, nor anyone in Washington,

Petrol, being smaller in proportions,

TORNADO OF Passion Breaks Loose over

PARIS, Oct. 3.-There was a decidedly

Revislonists and anti-rcvisionists ap-

Captain Dreyfus, whether guilty or
innocent, has certainly caused a yer.
liable tornado of passion to be let
loose. Paris was in turmoil all day.
Crowds, scuf1ies, uproar and accidents
formed the program. The mounted
republic guard were obliged to patrol
certain parts of the city, and all of the
police force was on the alert. About a
score of persons are said to have been
seriously wounded in the various free
fights that have broken the monotony
of the Partisan Sunday. In one quar-
ter alone over forty arrests were
made. OF these thirteen have been
kept and the others liberated.
