THE PEACE COMMISSION.


Paris, Oct. l4,--The fifth joint SEES.
sion of the two commissions was con.
vened yesterday afternoon. 1t is said
to be not unlikely that since Tuesdays
meeting the Americans, who have been
exceedingly busy, have determined
upon an attitude toward the Spanish
proposition that the United States
assume the Cuban debt in whole or in
part and that II has been reduced to
writing for the presentation to the
Spaniards at Fridays session, stating
the American view broadly as to what
is the Cuban debt what proper.
ton is fairly chargeable to the
island as legal and beneficial
thereto, and the proportion to be
charged to Spain as beneficiary of So
called Cuban debt. A hasty conclu.
sion, however, should not be drawn
from the fact Of this careful weighing
Of the Spanish proposition by the
Americans that they accept either
alternative classification OF the Cuban
obligation, but rather that they are
acting on line and purpose to meet
every point raised as exhaustively as
presented

STAFF OFFICERS NEEDED.


Washington, Oct l5.-It is not prob
able that there will be muster out
Of any number of staff officers to cor
respond to the number of general Off
GERS which were included in the dis
charge order few days ago. The de.
partment finds, in view of the fact
that n number of officers have re-
signed or been honorably discharged,
that the demand for staff officers in
different places makes it almost i'm.
possible to dispense with services of
many more at present Gen. Otis has
asked for additional quartermasters,
as has Gen. Wood at Santiago. More
subsistence and other staff officers are
needed at nearly every place occupied
by United States troops. Subsistence
officers and quartermasters have been
ordered to ports in Cuba in anticipa-
ton of the occupation of the island by
the United States forces. A number
Of staff officers are on the sick list and
their places have to be supplied with
others, 1t is, therefore, thought that
few more discharges will be made.

GEN. GRAHAM TESTIFIES.
He Saws Casuh Conditions W~rr mt All
That Could B- D->tr~d. but Blames
kegimentmi Onir~r.

Washington. Oct. H. ten. Graham
continued his testimony before the
war investigating committee yester.
day. Gen. Graham believed that the
proximity of the tents to one another
at Camp AlQer was responsible more
than any other cause for the sickness
there and said the medical officer also
were OF this opinion. lie thought the
want OF water for bathing purposes
and the habits of the men in eating
other food than that prescribed by the
regulations mad had deleterious in.
buence. In the beginning of his story
OF the camp there were no bathing
facilities but later the mea were
marched seven miles in Drigades
once week for baths. There had
been no lack OF medical supplies, but
some of the medical ATTENDANTS were
inexperienced and inefficient. Gen
Graham stated that when the commits
sary supplies were plentiful the r..an
were often without the prescribed
food because the regimental officers
were not sufficiently impressed with
the choice of drawing their food. This
was especially true in the matter of
fresh meat. In one case an officer of
a Kansas regiment had refused to draw
the fresh beef rations until he could
have saw with which to cut it up.
Gen. Graham testified to temporary
shortages of hospital linen, ice and
other supplies at Camp Alger,
but he did not believe any deaths
had been caused thereby. He positive.
ly denied that the surface drainage had
found its way into the wells. Taking
it oil in all, Gen. Graham said he had
no doubt that the medical department
at Camp Alger was administered in
competent manner. Gen. Graham said
some Of the officers from civil life had
proved efficient but that others were
incorrigible. Some of them were, he
said, too old to learn. He had no com.
plant to make as to the management
OF the war department, but he thought
the war was such an emergency that
the department was at first not pre-.
pared to meet its demands as promptly
as desirable. He thought, however,
that the criticisms of citizens concern
ing the conduct of the war WIRE due
10 the ignorance of the people who
meddled without sufficient information
to enable them to speak wisely.

True bills Probably Found.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct l5.-There Is
little doubt that true bills Of indict-
ment were found against Jesse James,
Jr., and Andy Ryan yesterday by the
grand jury on the charge Of robbing
the Missouri Pacific train near Leeds on
the night Of September 90. The vote
is given as 10 to-. Three others were
also indicted, but their identity is un.
known. They are, presumably,
Charles Polk, Caleb Stone, and the
mysterious sixth man whom the police
are keeping in hiding. No report was
made on the case, but the information
as to the findings Of the jury was OBJ.
tanned from sources which cannot be
doubted.

parks Of the city completed the day
light programme OF entertainment

position building the greatest throng
OF people addressed by President Nc
Kinley under cover thus far during
his present trip gave him magnif.
cent greeting. As he entered the Coli.
scum the immense crowd arose to its
feet and cheered for several minutes.
1t was some time before quiet could
be restored and the president could
begin his speech, which was inter-
rupted repeatedly with applause.
Tired out with his days experiences,
the president and party left at II
o'clock for Terre Haute. Ind, the next
stopping place. During his stay here
all the presidents movements were
carefully guarded by 81. Louis police
and detectives to prevent his being
subjected TO the slightest inconven.
fence or discomfort and 1t was through
their efforts that everything passed
of smoothly.
