in Cuba.
TELLING WHAT He SAW
Nothing But Mismanagement Before and
After Leaving American Soil, Especial
ly in the Medical and Quartermas-
ters Departments.

Lexington, KY, Nov. 2-The first
witness before the war investigating
commission today was General Joseph
p. Sanger, in command of the Sd divis-
ion. He said the I'd divisions camp at
Chickamauga was badly located, being
on rocky ground, where sinks could not
be dug deep enough.
When asked why the quartermaster's
department could not furnish the arti-
cles necessary for supplying the army
General Sanger said: "The complex
system of furnishing supplies to our
army is at fault. If there was one de-
partment to supplyal the army wants
there would be no clashing and COM
plications could not arise. At Chicka-
mauga the control of my division hos
pital was taken from me and given to
the chief surgeon of the corps"
The general then went into a dis
cussion on the complex system of our
war regulations taking away the regi-
mental surgeon and causing the mis-
management which led up to over
crowding the division hospital and the
great spread of typhoid. General
Sanger said he considered the weak
point at Camp Thomas was it's bad san
itary condition. Men had plenty of
clothing and plenty to eat. There were
over 900 licensed hucksters who Wis
tied Camp Thomas, and much lemon
ade was sold. General Brooke did all
he could to bring the camp to a good
sanitary condition, but was surrounded
by medical board which did not ap-
preciate the serious condition of af-
fairs. DR.. Huidekeper especially
thought DR.. Griffith unnecessarily
alarmed. DR.. Griffith insisted that
case diagnosed as typhoid malaria fe-
yer was in reality typhoid fever. He
examined the Chickamauga creek
where it was located; and an engineer
officer examined it and pronounced it
bad"

Major komeyne's Testimony.

Washington, Nov. 2.-The war inves-
today to hear the testimony Of Major
Henry Romeyne, 5th infantry, retired.
He said he had asked for military as
signment, but was refused. So he went
paper. He said when he went to Port
Tampa the canal bank was covered
with troops. He wanted to go over with
the 5th infantry, his old regiment, but
no one could tell him where the regi-
ment could be found There was great
confusion in consequence, and part of
one regiment would go on one vessel
and part on another. Regiments were
thus separated from their stores. He
had seen no order for any systematic
embarkation of troops, and he heard it
said that they We're told to go aboard
er-skelter. When asked to express
an opinion as to preparation for en-
barkation, witness hesitated, saying to
do SO would involve criticism of his su-
periors. When the commissioners in
sisted upon reply, Romeyne said he
did not think preparations We're such
as they should have been.
"There was,' he said "a lack of surf
boats, also Of order and preparation
for landing. When landing was under
taken, the troops left their ships indis-
criminately, part going at one time and
other parts at other times"
In response to questions from Cen
eral McCook, Major Romeyne said that
ambulances and wagons could have
been landed as easily as artillery. He
had seen only one ambulance at the
front, at the battle of Ell Caney. In
speaking of other incidents of this bat
tie he said there was a general surprise
that the inflated balloon should be car
ried at the head of the attacking col
umn, thus indicating to the Spaniards
the exact location of the troops. He
said Siboney was without exception the
dirtiest place he had ever seen and no
effort was made to clean it up before
the fever brok out. Then there was
deficiency of proper food at the hos
pitfalls, where the cooking was generally
poor.
Romeyne said he came north with
many other convalescents on the trans
port Concha. He criticised the provis-
ioning of the vessel in severe terms.
Many men were compelled to sleep in
hunks without blankets or pillows, and
with no covering at night except the
cotton uniform they wore during the
day.
"The water was offensive, both to
sight and SMELL" he said. 1.-THE food
was poor and scanty, none being pro-
vided especially for convalescents."
Witness stated there was only one ply
sician on the vessel and he a GONZALES
cent. OF the six men who died on the
way up, Romeyne thought that with
proper attention and good food, some of
these could have been saved. He said he
was unable to place the responsibility
for neglect but the captain Of the ves-
sci stated that when he made applica-
ton to go to Jamaica for fresh food and
water before starting on the voyage
from Santiago, his request was refused.

 Star: A meeting was held Friday composed of ex-Surveyor General Geo.
 A. Roskruge, County Surveyor Contzen and others to adjust permanently the city base line. The survey made a few days ago was adopted.
 Star: There is very strongly ex- pressed desire to have the telegraph office near the business center. It is now located on the edge of the mer- cantile center, much to the disadvan- tage of the business public.
 Star: The postotfice has been i'm proved and the interior made more comfortable by having a cover over the screen work, which stops the cir culation of air or the passing in of wind or dust from the outside.
 Star: The removal of the former
 residence of Paddy Woods, south Of court plaza, has been about com pleted, preparatory to the erection of the handsome building of the Elks
 It is the most eligible spot in the city for such a structure.
 Citizen: The free delivery of mails will be inaugurated in Tucson Feb l. There will be two carriers and one substitute. The carriers will receive a salary of $500 each. There will be fifteen street letter boxes instead of ten as proposed when the inspectors were here. The free delivery system will extend east and west as far as the city limits, and from Third street on the north to Eighteenth on the south. | It is probable that there will be a civil service examination for apDli cants for positions about the first of January.
 Citizen: An insane man who has been about the streets good deal for some time, in fit of anger yesterday hurled big stone at Vicente Soto, striking him In the face, rendering him unconscious and cutting his face so that several stitches were required. 1 It was several hours before he fully | recovered consciousness. Dr. Olcott, | the attending physician, thinks he will recover, though there Is some danger of inflammation Of the brain setting in. If he escapes that, he will be about tn week or SO. The | insane Mexican who threw the stone las been locked up, and being sub ject to outbursts of passion is likely to be kept in custody
 Citizen: Ed Jones, colored, was shot in the Cactus saloon Saturday | night and died in few moments. K. Miller, barkeeper in the saloon, who fired the fatal shot, surrendered to the authorities at once. An inquest was held this morning, and the testi- mony Of several witnesses was taken. ! All agreed that Jones had given Miller great pfovOcation, finally to "smash" him with also making movement toward his hip pocket as if to draw gun. Till this occurred, the witnes- ses agreed that Miller had been most patient and forbearing, in spite of re- peated threats. The coroner's jury rendered verdict to the effect that the deceased came to his death by gunshot wound at the hands of T. Miller, who was justified in his action. Jones had been employed in town as a

Force Of circumstances has compelled
a number Of people to stand off their coal
