charges was again taken up. The gen
oral said II there were any camp hor-
ror,s'' on the 9th of August. as charged,
the commander of the camp was re
sponsibIe, for he had full power TO fur-
nish relief. There probably were indi-
yIdual cases of suffering, but as rule
he knew the soldiers were well cared
| for. There was certainly no lack OF
food. :
General Wheeler admitted that In
many instances there were men Ill IN
the company quarters. Often men not
very Ill preferred not to go TO the hos
pitals, and. the hospitals were too
crowded to make room for them
General Wheeler also explained the
circumstances concerning the death of
Private Hugh Parrett. My inquiry
he said. ..deyeloped the fact that DIR.
Tabor was little gruff TO the men, but
1t also developed the fact that lie had
proved so efficient in the field that they
were devoted TO him and had petition
cd for his retention In the army"
This, he thought. was one of those
Individual cases of neglect, and he
thought 1t was to be explained by the
fact that DIR. Tabor was probably ILL.,
He found this to be true in other cases
and had demonstrated with physicians
for being irritable with patients.
General Wheeler said 1t was true
that many soldiers would fall on the
streets. He thought that all of them
had been weakened by their experience
in Cuba. and most of them had the
germs of fever in them. 1t was not
strange, therefore, If some of the men
had fallen TO the ground at Wikoff.

and children. They went into camp
about five miles from the agency and
ah-Ge-Gay- Bow called on General
Bacon at once. He said that lie had
told the hostiles on the islands that lie
could not go with them. that he and
his friends were for peace with the
white men. and that they were going
to the agency.
Minneapolis. Mimi. Oct. ga spe-
cial TO the Tribune from its stan cor
respondent at Walker says:
The situation tonight is more omi-
nous than ever. At the agency to-day
n counsel was held between the In
dians, General Bacon, Colonel Her
bach. Indian Agent Sutherland and
Marshal O'Connor. The result of the
conference was not in any way like
that of those previously held. except
In the fact that not one of the leading
men of the different bands was pres
ent.
There were, however, representa-
tives present from Bear Island. Cass
Lake, Otter Tail point, and Pine
Point. but none of these has any in
fiuence with the tribesmen.
The only conclusion to be drawn is
that the leaders of the different bands
sent men there merely as stool pig
cons and that others of their number
are now preparing for the war path.
A most significant fact is this: Sat
urday thirty canoe loads OF Bear
Island Indians and their faMilles. pro-
Tossing TO be peaceful. arrived nj the
agency. To-day every one of the
bucks In the party left. but where
they have gone is only to be sur
missed. There is little doubt. how
ever. that they have left for Bear
island TO join those who are already
prepared to fight. There must be by
this time several hundred armed men
on the island and from what can be
learned to-day many more are on the
road. Two or three Of the Bear
island men who are still on the agency
have been questioned in regard to last
Wednesdays battle. but they posi-
lively stated that they knew nothing
whatever In regard to the dead and
wounded among the Indians and had
seen none of those who We're in the
fight. -'sy yfYf'
General Bacon announced that the
last council would be held Monday
and the Indians dispersed.

GENERAL LEE TEsTIFiEs.
He Has no Complaint to Make Abau
Army Management

Army Management
Washington. ID. c.. Oct. 6.-The War
Investigation Commission held two ses-
sions to-day. In the forenoon General
II. V. Boynton concluded his testimony
and General Fltzhugh Lee was heard
in the afternoon.
General Boyntor :.welt to-day upon
the causes of disease at Camp Thomas,
charging the increase toward the close
of the camp TO lack of sufficient care
ON the part of the regimental and bri-
gade commanders in covering the
sinks. General Lee detailed the condi-
tions prevailing at the camp at Jack
sonville. He said the site was good,
the supplies We're PLENTIFUL the men
well taken care of and he had no com
plnint TO make of the War Depart
ment's treatment of his command.
General F'itzhugh Lee was before the
commission at lis afternoon session.
General Lee had no complaint to make
| in regard to supplies. In June. while
the expeditions were being sent off,
there was some delay. but this was
natural. and since then supplies of all
kinds had come with regularity and in
abundance.
There have, of course" he said.
VNttf NOiit it'piuitis aA z
like school boys: they sometimes com
plain. even when there is no occasion
for complaint"
He thought the army ration was
abundant. and in the main well suited
to campaign in n tropical climate.
Yet lie thought some changes might be
made. For instance, IT would be bet
ter TO send live animals TO Cuba than
to send refrigerator meat, us at pres
ent. According to his ideas the men
should have more fruit and less meat.
During the course of the questioning
1t developed that General Ice was no
titled that he wonld be- expected to
move his corps to Cuba In the vicinity
of Havana about November 1st. and
that he considered his troops properly
equipped for the campaign.
Governor Beaver read letter com
planning of the situation in the Jackson
vile camp. This letter said the camp
was filthy, the bread mouldy, and doc
tors generally intoxicated, etc.
"Is that from my commnnd?" Gem
eral Lee asked. in evident surprise.
When Informed that 1T was, he said
that he was astonIshed and asked for
the name of the author. He said in
this connection that occasional COM
plants had come to. him. which he ex-
amined and in every case found them
to be unfounded.
