CoMMIssARY OF SUBSISTENCE
Makes Report Showing Expenditures,
Condition of Commissary Department,
Shipping of Supplies, Etc.

Washington, Nov. 14.-The report of
Charles =. Eagan, Commissary of Sub
sistence of the Army, has been submit
ted to the Secretary of War. 1t shows
an expenditure of S6,00S, 715, with a bal
ance of SIG, ,222, $50 to the credit of the
bureau After detailing conditions of the
Commissary Department and its organi-
zation for the war with Spain, General
Eagan comes to the Santiago campaign,
of which he says:
"a very serious freight blockade at
and in the neighborhoOd of Tampa i'll
May and June, 1898, was caused by the
CELEBRITY with which the troops and their
supplies were sent to that place in pre-
paration for the invasion of the island
of Cuba This blockade was matter
of grave concern to the subsistence de-
partment, and it was only after the most
peremptOry orders on the commissary
general of subsistence to unload the ears
and to hire warehouses; if necessary,
that the officers of the department on
the spot were enabled, with unflagging
zeal and untiring energy, TO relieve the
pressure so as to permit the taking of
rations sufficient 20 last the command
of 10000 enlisted men for four months
and the sending on June 10th, 9th and
2Sth of further supplies
After giving in detail what supplies
were sent to Cuba, General Eagan says:
1T will thus be seen that all due dill
gencc was used by the commissary gen
eral of subsistence in placing stores
within reach of the troops operating
against Santiago. Upon landing in
Cuba these stores of the expedition were
subject to the orders of the general com
manding who was in paramount control
of the military operations in that quar-
ter
After quoting a number of official or
derS. the General says:
1T is evident from the foregoing state
ments that the supplies of subsistence
stores shipped for the use of the army in
Cuba have been at all times in excess of
immediate needs Beside being avail
able for our own troops, they afforded
relief to the Cuban army and to the des-
titute population which abandoned the
city of Santiago when preparations for
it's destruction had been made The of
ficial returns from Cuba showing in
detail the issues made to these several
classes of persons and others contem-
plated by law, have not yet been re-
ceived, and there is not in this office any
information throwing light on the sub
ject of the provisioning of the transports
which brought the army back to
Montauk Point further than there was

THE CASE OF JOHN ANDE
Supreme Court Affirms Judgment of
Lower Court, and Anderson $luSt
Hang.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE United
States Supreme Court today affirmed the
Judgment Of the lower court AMI denied
Il writ of habeas corpus to J0nl Ander-
son, convicted and sentenced to be hang
ed after trial in Norfolk, Va, for the
murder of the mate of the Olive Pecker
Chief Justice Fuller i'll announcing the
decision, held that Andersen had nOt bC1l
denied Il constitutional right III nor hay-
ing counsel of his own choice a. thn tliIl.
The court adjourned for two weeks and
when it reassembles will announce the
bankruptcy rule.
The Andersen case has attracted wide
spread attention. being Il sea tragedy of
singular atrocity The schooner Olive
pecker sailed from Boston laden with
lumber, for n point on the River Platte
Brazil. When 800 miles off the coast Of
Brazil. Andersen. Swede. had an al
tercation with the captain. When the
latter retired to the cabin. Andersen
followed and shot the captain dead. Then
he armed himself heavily and went on
deck. where. mounted on the forecast e.
he terrorized all on board. The mate,
who was alOft, was called down, and
while pleading for his life was shot four
times. The crew were ordered to throw
the dying mate overheard, and on pro-
testing that he was not dead, were as
sured that he was dead enough" This
done. the crew were marched below at
the point Of a pistol and ordered to
throw the captain overheard. Then
Andersen directed that oil he thrown over
the lumber. after which the oil-sOaked
ship was set afire. and the murderOus
crew took to the boats. Andersen was
unprecedented at Bahia, Brazil, and sent
North on the United States gunbOat
Lancaster He was tried and convicted
in the United States court at Norfolk,
Va. and stubborn fight was made up
TO the Supreme Court, the conviction be-
ing affirmed. The last move was in the
present application for writ of habeas
corpus on the ground that Andersen'S $
constitutional rights were eyaded when
the lower court assigned his counsel in
stead of giving him counsel of his own
choice. Chief Justice Fuller in an
nouncing the courts opinion. said the rec
ord of the case showed that no funda-
mental right had been denied Andersen,
but that he had been represented from
first to last by able counsel. The time
when counsel was not present was at a
primary hearing of Andersen, but this
was not used in the subsequent trial.
The decision of the lower court was af-
firmed. The effect of this will be to have
the execution, which had been stayed
until December 9th. next, carried out.

continue in force and unchanged, except,
possibly in a few minor administrative
features, for at least a year longer.
There will be no revision of the tar
