for the sick and wounded brought
from Santiago to the United States on
the Senaca and Concho. Everything

sick and wounded. The patter Of
Shortage of water. he says is inexcus-
able. He concludes his report as fol-
lows;
There is no excuse for lack Of food.
as there has at all times been plenty
of that. | nave no doubt that many
more werc put on the ships than
should have been because Of thc great
desire to set home, as they had the
fear Of the yellow fever ana were al
most wholly without hospital accom-
modations.
The sick and wounded had only the
time they reached home. There was
none TO issue 10 them at the time they
left. and their own extra clothing
they could not get at. There has
never been i case of suffering here
that could not be rcmedied by the
means at hand that was not attended
to.
The surgeons have worked as we'll
as any men that ever lived. and their
complaint has been universal Of lack
Of means and facilities. l do not com
plain Of this. for no one could have
foreseen all that would be required
but / viii not quietly submit 10 hay

of these hospital facilities
Gen. shafter speaks in high terms
Of DR.. La Garde, and says that he has
worked under disadvantageous cir
oumstances. From the day the forces
left Tampa until the present time, he
says, that Were have never been suf
ficient medical attendance or medi-
cines for the daily wants of the com
mand. Three times since reaching
Cuba has the command been almost
entirely without medicines. This
statement he declares. is made to him
by the medical directors and on one
occasion they suggested taking medI-
cines away from the Spanish hospi
tails.

ment the publicati must have occa-

"The situation is greatly aggravated
from the fact that before any of the men

haustod. AT least - per cent. of the COM
mand had been down with malarial fever

KNIFE AND PISTOL
Used in Murders at Boston,
Monday Afternoon.
An Italian Shoots Fellow Countryman
---He Is Arrested.
Portuguese Stabs His Companion to Heart
Is Also Caught.

Boston. Aug S.-Two Provincetown
Portuguese fisherman became involved
in a quarrel on T wharf, late this af-
tcrnoon, with the result that one of
them, William Garapa, plunged a fish
knife into Joseph Pascaco Alves' heart
and then ran away. Alves Gied within
few minutes.
Just before this or about $50 p. NJ,
and only short distance away on
Commercial street, Antonio De Lucia
shot Salyato Rent in the abdomen,
but was arrested before he could es-
cape Renti's death is hourly ex-
expected
the two last named are Italians, and
it is said that an old love affair caused
the quarrel. De Lucia claims that he
acted in self-defence.
The murder of the Portuguese, Pas
caco, grew out of quarrel which be-
gan. early this morning, after their
schooner, the Isaac Collins which had
Just arrived from the fishing grounds,
and had tied up at the wharf.
The two men came to blows about
noon, but Were separated by the rest
OF the crew. The matter did not rest
there. for few hours later they again
took up the quarrel and this time it
did not end until Graopa, Selling a
fishing knife, plunged it into Pascaco's
side.
After three hours search through
the city Garapa was found and ar
rested at the Park Square station,
where he was about to take the train
for New Bedford. He gave his name
as William Silver and denied striking
Alves with the knife, claiming that the
latter fell on it. Alves was 40 years of
age, married and lived in Province
town. Garapa is % years old and has

Washington, Aug. S.-The secretary
lently attacking Admiral Sampson.
The following is copy of his reply to
one of them which ne has furnished
for publication:
Navy Department. Washington, d.
G.. Aug. s.:
My Dear Sir:
Il am in receipt of your letter. and
hasten to assure you that what you
say about Admiral Sampson is SO I'M
just that it can only be pardoned on
the ground Of your ignorance of the
whole matter. You have no apprecia-
ton of the responsibilities that have
been upon Admiral Sampson, of his
superior attainments as an officer and.
the splendid work ne has done in pre-
pairing for the naval victory which
was the crowning accomplishment of
his efforts for the weeks and weeks
before Santiago.
Justice is always done in the long
run. But whs2 You indulge in such
unfounded criticism l cannot forbear
to protest. as l should feel bound to
do if you had referred in similar terms
to any other Of our deserving officers.
First Admiral Sampson was Sc
lected FOR the Command of the North
Atlantic squadron because the de-
partment in the exercise Of its best
judgment With an eye single to the
public interests, believed he was es-
pecially fitted for the place. Admiral
Sicard, who held the command. hav-
ing become incapacitated for duty by
reason of sickness, was necessarily
withdrawn, by order of the depart
ment ana Sampson was next in COM
mand.
THE two are especially accom-
plished ordnance officers, having been
each at the head of the ordnance bur-
eau and having dcvted themselves to
that branch of naval science. Samp-
son is a man of the very highest pro-
fessional atainments solely devoted to
his duty. He never pushes himself
forward and when you accuse him of
any thing of the sort you do most
cruel injustice to a man who never
sought favor or applause in any other
way than by the simple discharge of
his duty.
oecond-The movement on Porto
Rico was not a movement for it's cap
ture. The department, which has
very rarely interfered with the move
ments of admirals commanding squad
rons, did, however, make one express
order, and that was that our battle
ships should not be exposed to the
risk of serious injury from the fire of
any fort At that time the Spanish
feet was strong It's whereabouts and
destination was unknown. The pri-
NAL necessity was to meet and crush
alton of the sea The oregon had not
arrived. the Maine was destroyed and
no naval authority would justify the
unnecessary risk Of the destruction of

Washington. Aug. S.-The reply of
the Spanish government to the peace
conditions laid down by the United
States was received by the French
ambassador, N. C2mhon, shortly be-
fore O'Clock this afternoon. The re-
ply came in sections. the dispatch first
received giving only the opening pas
sases cf the Spanish reply. i few
minutes later another dispatch
broueh, a second section and the sec
lions kept coming until seven sections
of the spanish reply had been receiv-
ed at $50. when the last part was still
to arrive.
In the meantime the cipher experts
We're al work and by 40 O'Clock. they
were abreast Of all that portion of the
reply received VI TO that time and
there was a lu!l of some time pending
the arrival of the concluding portion
1t was thought that a terrific rain
storm which had swept over Washing
ton about / o'clock might have oc-
casioned delay eli The remainder
Pending the receipt Of the complete
reply no steps We're taken to fix a
time for a conference with the Presi-
dent as the time for that depended
largely upon some of the features Of
the reply and also upon the explicit
instructions concerning the delivery
of the answer which usually accom-
panies document of this solemn
character.
Neither at the White House nor at
the state department was there any
knowledge that the reply had reached
Washington and the usual office hours
closed with no appointment made for
a conference.
There was felt to be little likelihood.
even though the ambassador received
the complete reply and instructions,
that there would be night conference
at the White House for the purpose of
presenting the document.
Pending the official delivery of the
answer speculation was rife as to its
contents. There was little or no fur
Their doubt left that the length of the
reply meant that Spain had given Il
simple and direct affirmative to the
American CONDITION
This caused considerable apprehen-
sion in official circles here, for it was
felt last week that Spain would sure
" yield in every particular, it began
to be felt that possibly an indirect at
tempt to open up a diplomatic eX-
change on the nature of terms.
The prevailing view. however, was
that the reply was on it's face an ac-
ceptance although not such a one as
precluded all possibility of further dis
cussion.
All vital points We're believed to be
conceded-the abandonment of Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Ladrones. and the
establishment of a commission to pass
upon questions relating to the Philip
pines. In the carrying out of this
programme, it was believed that Spain

"Our first and fundamental
maxim should be-" wrote Thomas
Jefferson, "never to entangle our.
selves in the broils Of Europe; our
second, never to suffer Europe to
intermeddle with our Atlantic
affairs. America, North and
South, has a set of interests dis
tinct from those of Europe, and
peculiarly her own. She should,
therefore, have a system of her
own. separate and apart from that
of Europe. While the last is
laboring to become the domicile of
despotism, our endeavor should
surely be to make our hemisphere
that Of freedom"
There was u convention of An.
neke Jams heirs at Cleveland few
Gays ago at which over q hundred
delegates were present. The claims
of these heirs are singularly mod
est--comprising $80,000,000 al
legged to be held by the bank of
Holland; 1872 acres in the business
district of New York city, of value
80 great as to be pra cticably in
estimable; and over 5000 acres of
land in upper Harlem, valued over
half century ago at $S0,000,000
The heirs express cheerfulness
over their prospects, asserting that
they expect to get possession very
soon of the Harlem portion
