Washington. Oct 16.-SecreSayv Alser
was asked tonight IL VI was the pur-
pose of the war department to take any

ments made by Major Seaman. surgeon
OF the LIST volunteer engineers.
Not at ALL" replied the secretary:
mot at all. want 1t to be understood

army may speak freely and unrescrv-
edfy concerning his observations of the
war without the slightest fear of pos
sible consequences. While I am see-e-
tary Of war no man shall be the suffer er
for speaking what he believes to De the
truth. Above all. the witnesses VINO
appear before the war Investigation
commission shall be protested to sile
fullest extent. The commission and
the country want the facts. and no
obstacle will be placed in the way Of
getting them. We are all interested
In having the clearest light thrown up
on the conduct OF the war. and the
standing or promotion of no enlisted

GEN.GOMEZ FORPRESIDENT
WILL PROBABLY BE THE CHOICE
OF THE CUBAN CONVENTION.
Cubans Would Repudiate-steal-
Ing Telephone Wires.

Santiago de Cuba, Oct. 16.-The meet
ing of the Cuban assembly at Santa
Cruz is fixed for Oct. 20, but owing to
lack of transportation facilities, the
members of tn assembly will be unable
to arrive at Santa Cruz on time, and
the end of the month will probably have
come before the election of a president
and cabinet takes place.
FL Cubano, daily paper OF Santiago.
predicts the election OF the following
ticket: President. General Maxine
Gomez; vice-president. Bartolome Ma
so; secretary of foreign affairs, DIR. Do
mingo Mendez Capote: home secretary.
Senior Benz. Guerra; secretary of jus-
tice, Senor Jose A. Lanuza: secretary
of war, General Calixto Garcia; secre-
tary OF public instruction, Senior Enri-
que Varona.
The local papers are much wrought
up over the propositions denying the
right to the Americans to grant conces-
sions which Cuba libre would repudi-
ate.
General Wood has received a letter
from Hayti. requesting permission by
many returning Cuban families to bring
with them agricultural implements free
OF duty. General Wood replied Presi-
dent Mckinley's proclamation permit
ted this.
The telephone wires in the neighbor
hood of Santiago have been broken
down by Cubans for use I'm bindins
hayricks. General Wood has ordered
the arrest of all persons found to be
concerned in the affairs.
Many things have occurred which
tend TO show that the Spanish land
safa %
perfect. Judge Advocate Blount has
been agreeably surprised by finding in
many instances his work sImplified.
General Calixto Garcia desires to con-
tradict the statement made by several
newspapers that he Is receiving pay
from the United States government for
his assistance I'm disbanding the Cuban
troops. He declares that he Is a pa
triot and Is not i'm need of money.
General Garcia had a long interview
with General Wood this morning re-
garding transportation to Santa Cruz
del Sur. He told Wood IL was import
ant for him to be there. In order to
Illustrate the plot to overthrow the su-
premacy OF those who had fought for
Cuba for three years and to put in their
places non-combatants and immigrants.
General Wood agreed to provide him
with transportation by, the Bessie on
her next trip TO Manzanilio. which will
probably be tomorrow.
General Wood has received orders
from Washington 20 secure informa-
tion as 20 such places in the province
OF Santiago as the Spaniards evacuate
and 20 send troops thither Immediately,
as well as To take over the civil gov
ernment. He is stlll awaiting news
from Holguin before sending the End
Immune regiment there. TIE ice plant
presented 10 Santiago some time ago
by citizens OF New York is nearly ready
for use. IL has a capacity of seven
tons daily and an annex for refrigerat-
ing meat.
Last night four negro teamsters got
into an alteration with three police
men. whom they dispersed and beat Sc
verely. The four are now under arrest
owing TO possible disturbances tonight |
the military guards were quadrupled
and all saloons were ordered closed.

WERE PERMITTED TO LAND.
The 4sth New York Has Arrived at San
Juan.

Washington. Oct. 16.-The following
dispatch from Colonel Eddy was receiv-
ed at the war department this evening
from San Juan:
The 9th New York arrived at San
Juan, 6 %. m"
1t is presumed by the war department
officials inasmuch as nothing Is said TO
the contrary that the regiment was per-
mitted to land at San Juan. IL was
feared objection might be raised by the
Spanish officials to the landing of the
regiment at San Juan before formal
possession was yielded to the American
forces on the 18th inst. The 9th New
York has the honor OF being the first
American organization TO enter the cap
ital OF Poro Rico.
General Brooke. chairman OF the Por-
to Rican evacuation commission. and IN
command OF the American troops on the
island, is making arrangement for the
accommodation OF the American forces
to be stationed at San Juan. The bar
racks formerly occupied by the Spar
ish soldiers. were found totally unfit
for occupancy by United States troops.
General Brooke Is having them remod-
elled. adding officers quarters and otn-
erwise placing them In a habitable con-
dition.

CONDITIONS IN HAVANA
An American Hospital to Be Es-
tablished.
INOUSTRYAT ASTANDSTILl
Colonel Warine Finds Havana Even
Dirtier Than He Expected-Drain-
age Pipes and Sewers
Must Be Laid.

Havana, via Key West. Oct. 1s.-Drs
Lane and O'Reilly have made a report
to the surgeon general insisting or
the immediate establishment OF an
American fever hospital here. The ex-
isting hospitals do not isolate yellow
fever patients. and the result is that II
person suffering from another COM
plant is removed 20 the hospital he
runs the risk OF contracting the fever.
This was the case with Stenographer
Dalbey OF the American evacuation
commission, who is suffering from ma
larial fever. His next door neighbor is
Ill with a fever OF a different character.
Colonel Clous has received a plan OF
every fortihcation on the island, each
one signed personally by General Blan-
CO. These plans had been requested by
our commissioners ever since their ar
rival, but were not delivered until yes
terday.
The transportation commission has
begun work upon the plans for the ex-
tension of the railroad to the camp at
Guanabacoa. which will be the first To
get ready. They have asked for bids.
and laborers are being employed to
push the work actively.
Colonel Waring has found Havana
dirtier than he anticipated. He says 1t
will be necessary to tear open the
streets and lay drainage pipes and
sewers. He sees no reason To fear an
epidemic. as there was no spread of dis
ease when the streets were opened re-
Gently TO lay water pipes. He Is salts
fled with the excellence of Havana's
water supply
Industry and commerce continue at
standstill. Many planters and mer-
chants who recently returned here an
ticipating an early resumption of busi-
ness are going abroad again to wait
until affairs are settled in Cuba, as they
do not dare embark in business ven-
lures or risk a cent in the present un-
satisfactory and indefinite condition OF
political affairs on the island. In the
poorer. The sugar and tobacco crops
are unsown.
That the condition of the Cubans IL
not so desperate or black as painted.
outside the fact that they are short OF
rations. Is confirmed by Colonel Rowan
and Lieutenant Parker. who. after
crossing the island Ave times. covering
100 miles and visiting every insurgent
camp in the islands. report that the
men in the camps are efficient. well dis
ciplned and officered by men Of a high
order Of intelligence and education.
From these men, who have struggled
and suffered for three long years for
their ideal OF freedom. resistance Is to
be feared to any solution of the prob
lem not having for Its basis independ-
ence.
