COMMISSIONER JONES' CHARGES.
They Are TO Be Investigated by Two
Men Especially AppOiuted.

Secretary Bliss and Attorney General
Griggs have agreed to appoint two men,
one from each department, to go to Min
nesota to investigate the causes of the
recent Indian uprising. This Investigation
will be made as a result of charges that
deputy marshals are responsible for the
behavior of the Indians The charges made
by Indian Commissioner Jones are partcu-
larly to be investigated. officials of the
Department of Justice are disposed to think
that Mr. Jones has made unfounded
charges against the deputy marshals and
to Critcse him sharply.
Attorney General Griggs has received from
District Attorney Evans of Mlnn esota and
from Mr.. Stringer. the former district at
torney, a number of letters denying the
charges made by Mr.. Jones and going into
detail to point out their absurGity. These
letters are in addition to the reply made
by Marshal OCOnnor to the charges of the
Indian commissioner.
District Attorney Evans says that the
marshais are not permitted to arrest In
dlans on insignificant charges for the pur-
pose of securing fees. He says that before
warrant is sworn out for the arrest of
an Indian the facts are laid before the
office of the district attorney. who passes
upon them, allowing the warrant to issue
If he thinks proper. Mr.. Evans further
says that the marshal can reap no benefit
from fees. because there is d limit to the
amount of fees they may collect. When
this limit Is reached the fees are turned
back to the government Nearly all the
marshals turn money back each year.

Gen. Bates Testifies Regarding Sit

TROUBLE TO GET AMBULAECES
Not Enough Medical Officers, Sup

NO EXCUSE FOR DEFICIENCY

LEXINGTON, Ky, November l-Refore
the war investigating commission today,
Grief Commissary Marshall Of Camp Ham,
lton denied the statements made by Lieu
tenant Colonel Mitchell of the LIST Terri
tor1als last night. He said every rcquisi-
tion had been honored from the territor1als
Inc second witness was General j. C
Bates, who testified as to the Santiago
campaign, the camps at Mobile and at
Chickamauga. He went to see General
Brooke regarding the lack of equipments
clothing and other supplies The day be-
fore We left Mobile we got pretty well sup

year. At Montauk Point / learned that the
Long Island railroad had an exclusive con-
tract to haul the soldiers to the city.
ISSUED orders to allow other railroads to
come In and help take off the sick
Medical Supplies short.
In Cuba medical supplies were woefully
short. The medical officers said they
couldn't get them.
This was especially true at Siboney In
going over We had enough medical supplies,
but we were cut down.
Had trouble in getting ambulances taken
to Cuba
Got one for each regiment and one for the
squadron.
Il think the ambulances / took were the
only ones ashore when the Rough Riders
fight occurred on June "a.
When asked what in his opinion was the
weakness In the medical department, Gen.
Bates said he thought a great mistake was
made In not sending medical officers in
suinclent number with regiments ordered
to the field. Additional transportation
should have been furnished for medical off,
GERS and medical supplies, ambulances and
horses.
BY DR.. Conner-"What do YOU think os
the propriety Of allowing female nurses ac-
companying an army into the field"
Il think ii would be perfectly proper to
have them at large hospitals, but not in
regimental hospitals"
Replying to leading question by Or. Con-
ner, Gen. Bates said that with modern
arms danger in removing wounded from
the line of fire was greatly increased; that
it would be difficult for ambulance men and
litter bearers to live in the increased zone
of fire. In Cuba ii was difficult 10 get oat-
meal and other delicacies for the sick.
No Sufficient Excuse.
Il think there is not sufficient excuse for
medical supplies being short in Cuba. Bet
ter preparations could have been made for
transportation. We had no way to shoe
horses and mules. Have no recommended
tons to- suggest to improvement Of War
Department regulations or regarding the
rations. These matters have been subject
to consideration of boards and able officers,
and l don't care to offer an opinion
General Bates was then excused.

OUT OF THE STORMS TRACK.
Np Apprehension Felt Regarding the.
Maria Teresa

The Navy Department is under no appre-
hension as to the safety of the Maria Ter
eSa, although some fear has been express
ed in Santiago dispatches that the vessel.
along with her consorts, the Vulcan and
Leonidas, have fallen into the sphere of a
west Indian cyclone. The Teresa passed
cape Maysf, at the eastern extremity of
Cuba, early yesterday morning bound for
Hampton Roads. and sgnaled that all was
well and that her machinery was working
smoothly. BY this time, according to the
calculations of the naval officers she should
be well on toward the Bahamas keeping
well TO the eastward and away from the
Florida coast. Meanwhile the wea Their bu-
that cyclone is forming to the southwest
or Havana and would probably come up
the southwest coast of Florida and if this
prediction is true the warship would be
well away from the pathway of the cy-
clone-at least 1000 miles, according to the
calculations.
The latest calculation made at the de-
partment is that the Teresa will arrive in
Hampton Roads next Sunday afternoon
Presuming that she has no fever aboard
she VIII probably come up to the Norfolk
navy yard for survey. Whether the repairs
recommended by that board will be made
at the same navy yard or not will depend
largely upon the report of the board and
upon the recommendation of Chief Con-
structor Hichborn. but the probabilities are
that the work will be done in Norfolk

ANOTHER BRIGADIER.
Col. ThOs. NJ. Anderson of the 18th In

The existing vacancy in the list of brig
adler generals of the regular army will be
filled by the promotion of Col. Thomas M.
Anderson of the 14th Infantry, who led one
of the divisions Of General Merritts army
at the capture of the city of Manila. and
who was promoted to be major general of
volunteers for his services on that occa-
sion.
General Anderson is a native of Ohio, and
entered the army as private at the out

was brevetted major for gallant services in
the battle of the Wilderness. and lieutenant

14th Infantry in September 1886, and served
as such until the outbreak of the Spanish
war, when he was made a brigadier gen.
eral of volunteers and assigned to duty in
the Philippines. Inasmuch as he will not
reach the retiring age until the winter of
1899, he has still years active service be-

|, was not matter of surprise to those
members of the cabinet who were acquaint-
e' with the progress of affairs relating to
the Philippines that there was no report
today from Judge Day and his fellow COM
missicnCrs at Paris. AS matter of fact
the Americans were instructed as 10 what
presentment they should make at yester-
days meeting touching the Philippines,

commissioners will be under the necessity

should the Conference Fail.
But the possibility of disagreement of
N'iO
conference is now contemplated with great
er equanimity than at an earlier stage OF
the negotiations. The administration. has
satisfied Itself that Spain is neither able nor
willing to resume hostIitles any scale
that would make her a dangerous opponent
to the United States. Therefore, supposing
the Paris conference TO fail, al that would
be imposed upon our government as an
immediate duty would be 20 take complete
military possession Of the Philippines. This,
it is believed, could be accomplished by US
without loss of time or life. The iaSt VeS-
tige of Spanish military power in the is
lands is that under Colonel Rios, command
er-in-Chief of the NiScayls Islands, and by
deputized authority in cnargc of all Span
ish territory not directly within the control
of the United States in the Philippine Is
lands His force is insignificant from
military point of view. and it is doubtful
if he could have held his own against the
insurgents had the Taglls been allowed by
Admiral Dewey to make Manila the base
of an expedition directed against the Span
ish commander.
So far as Cuba and Porto Rico are con-
cerned the difficulty might be more serious
as to the first. though entirely removed as
to the second but even in Cuba the Spanish
military forces are not in condition to Of
fer d prolonged resistance to the American
conquest of the island. And with the Span
lsE navy at the bottom of the sea they
could not be reinforced by troops from
Spain.
Therefore about the worst that could
happen would be the necessity imposed
upon US of struggling along without the
signature of a treaty of peace, but IN full
possession of all the territory we desire
ana tEat such conditions can exist without
carnage to material interests is shown by
the history OF the Spanish-American re-
Hublics.
