Washington, Oct. 4.-The war inves-
tieation commission began its exami-
nation CT witnesses today by placing
General Joseph Wheeler on the stand.
Chairman Dodge stated to him the
scope of the commission's duties and
asked General Wheeler whether he had
any objections to being sworn. He re-
piled that he had none and Major
Miles. recorder for the commission, ad-
ministered the cath.
Ex-Governor Beaver conducted the
examination, developing the essential
facts as to General Wheeler's rank and
his command. General Wheeler stated
that he left Tampa for Cuba on June
IA, but that he had no knowledge of the
pan of campaign before going aboard
the transport. He then told Of the voy-
age. On June q General Shafter or
dered him to disembark the next day,
which he did with a portion of his COM
mand. He rode into the country four
miles that day, and the next day moved
his troops to J~aguaracita. He then be-
gan his accommodating, arranging with
General Castillo OF the Cuban army to
send Cuban troops with his men for the
reconnaissance. but unfortunately the
Cubans did not keep the engagement.
He told Of the first battle at La Quasi
ma, stopping to compliment specially
the regular troops, and also to speak OF
their excellent firing. They soon
Learned to mistrust the reports and es-
Inmates of the S~paniards. General
Wheeler had not been able ON his own
account to secur any accurate esti-
mates Of the Spanish loss during the
American approach upon Santiago. .
Speaking of the proceedings after the
first battles, he explained that he had
been reported sick, and there were
some movements just prior to the bat
tie at Ell Caney with which he was not
familiar.

There was. he said, at times some

also good. He said the men in his COM

ever, very few men were at that time
sick. He had himself gone into the
hospitals and had found the men doing
well.
General Wheeler said he had no con-
troll over any Of the supplies that were
taken to Santiago on the transports

He only knew from conversation with
these that there was an abundance OF
supplies OF all character.
Returning to the Santiago campaign,
he said that only two regiments had
reported a shortage Of rations, and
he had Immediately telephoned to the
rear and the shortage. which was due
to an accident. had been a~djllseted.
There was suffering when the men were
compelled to lie on the breast works.
The meat was poor, and they had no
bread but hard tack. They were forced
to lie in the sun and water alternately
and necessarily there was much sick
ness. While they had a full quota OF
doctors and nurses. he thought that If
more had been furnished the men
would have been better cared for. As
for rations, three days supply was gen.
orally issued. Whenever the troops
went into action they would throw
their food away, as we'll as their packs,
and they often did not them.
General Wheeler took up the COM

Pat" Reagan is the latest San Fran

success than did Mr. Ferguson at Butte

to the Anaconda Standard says:

Feno. 1t is something worthy of noting at
this time that the spectators very much

So Declare Witnesses at
Denver.
0REG0N'S CHAPLAIN'S WORDS
SCoFFED AT SAMPSON AND
"FIGHTING BOB.".
Newspaper Reporters Swear That
His Statements Were Much
Stronger Than Those That
Were Printed.
Special Dispatch TO The Call.

DENVER, Colo, Sept. 27.-The court.
martial Of Rev. Joseph P. Mcintyre,
chaplain of the battleshir Oregon, on a
charge of scandalizing the navy in a
lecture delivered in Denver on August
s, was resumed at 10 o'clock to-day AS
on the opening day the courtroom was
crowded, many being turned away.
J. B. Burnett, business manager Of
the Rocky Mountain News, was the
first witness called: He identified the
copy of the News containing a report of
the offending lecture by Chaplain Nc
Intyre.
Miss Minnie J. Reynolds. who report
ed the lecture for the News, was called
to verify the report published and from
which extracts contained in the charges
against Chaplain. Mcintyre were taken.
She fully corroborated the report she
had written, which was introduced as
testimony. Miss Reynolds testified that
Chaplain McIntyre's reference to Cap
tain Robley d. Evans, as Fighting
Bob. was contemptuous in manner.
ross-examination failed to shake her
testimony that Chaplain Mcintyre as
serted that Admiral Sampson reported
himself within four miles of the Span
ish ship Cristobal Colon when she sur
his share of the prize money, and that
Sampson, though no more entitled to
participate than were the members OF
his audience, would receive $lO,0OO,
while Captain Clark, who fought the
Oregon as no man ever fought ship
before" would receive but $500. She
had also testified that Chaplain Nc
Intyre declared that the contracts for
all Eastern built battleships were Sc
cured through political pulls. and
hence the Oregon, which was built in
the West, was the only one honestly
built. She maintained that the chap
lain said that while the Oregon was
going into the fight the Iowa was 60
ing to the rear and that she was kept
there during the fight, and said that
he offered no explanation of that al
legged action.
Paul w. Beck, who reported the lee
ture of Chaplain Mcintyre for the Den
yer Times, was next called. He stated
that the chaplain said Admiral Samp-
son reported himself within four miles
of the Cristobal Colon when she struck
her. colors and in reality he was not
within that distance of the Colon. In
other respects Mr.. Beck corroborated
the testimony of Miss Reynolds regard
ing the charges against the prisoner.
He identified a report of the lecture
written by him and published in the
Denver Times In. this Chaplain Nc
Intyre was quoted as having said Adj
miral Sampson, with the hagShlp New
York, and tn other vessels were ten
miles away when the Cristobal Colon
hauled down her flag. This, Mr.. Beck
said, was correct. He also corroborated
the report published in the Rocky
Mountain News, though he declared
Chaplain McIntyre's statements were
much stronger than those given therein.
Charles H. Sage, a prominent real
estate broker, testified. No new facts
were brought out by his testimony. He
was still on the stand when the court
adjourned for the day.

THE CATHOLIC SCHOOLS.
They Have Been Put in Good ordor for the
Winters Work.

Among ether schools in the city, the
work done at Kavanagh school, prepara-
torv sfor the opening today, is deserv-
ing of mention, for q corps of workers
have been for some time past diligently
engaged in getting the rooms in shape,
and tho scrubbing, repairing and general
renovating that has been done has put
the rooms in the very best Of condition.
Tho building has been cleaned from base
nent to include the large hall in the up
per story and when it is remembered that
there are accommodations for about seven
hundred pupils, the task was not SO easy
one as might at first appear. aEach room
in the primary and grammar department
is a model of neatness and every atten-
ton has been paid to matters of sanitary
and hygienic Importance.
To the rooms of last season one has been
added for the accommodation of pupils.
and the boys school located near the
cathedral on Cum berland street has not
been overlooked and notable improve
.nent there is the stone steps which have
been recently placed about the building.
The Sisters of Mercy will have charge
of the teaching, as usual, and the curri
culum advances scholars to a grade which
would admit them to the High school
of the city.
