Always Plenty of Medical Supplies.


He declared there had been 4 sufIl-
| cheney of medicines and medical sup
plies at all times-a wasteful abundance
| in fact. From first to last during the
history of the camp ffty-four carloads
were received. Notwithstanding this
| fact there was complaint of the scarcity
| of medical supplies and medicines, due
largely to the fact that the doctors often
required proprietary medicines. which
We're not kept on hand. No acquisitions
We're required in getting medicines.

disappointed because he did not get q

complaints concerning the purity Of the

men who had filters and distfIling ap-

He said the transportation facilities
Of the camp were poor and that often
the vehicles received were not COM

THE PRIZEFIGH FAKE.
a Earcicai.Inquiryb by the Directors
Of the Lennox Club.

The inquiry instituted by the
directors of the I,ennux club, with
the intention OF fixing the blame
for the sudden end of the Corbett-
Sharkey fight was held in New York
this week. Both principals with
their managers, handlers and the
referee were examined. No collu-
sion was shown by the statements
made. Corbett WAS the last ques-
toned, and he rnphntically stated
that he did not believe McVey had
been bought by any person or per-
sons,
He has been with me for years.
said Corbett, ''and would not throw
me down After | had returned to
my dressing room OH Tuesday night,
McVey told my brother Tom that
he could not see the big fellow
(meaning me) licked, and as he
considered l was being beaten he
jumped into the ring to save me. |
believe in McVey and am positive
he was not actuated by any other
motive in doing as he did last week
Tuesday"
Corbett's statement was satisfac-
tory to the committee and the mat
ter dropped right there.
Tom O'Rourke promised to give
Corbett another chance at his man.
The Lennox club has adopted a
rule which provides that hereafter
a seconds action, such as was the
case of McVey in the Corbett-Shark-
ey affair, shall not disqualify his
principal.

SPAIN ACCEPTS.
Gives Notice That she Will Sign the
Treaty.

The joint meeting of the two peace
commissions was held in Paris this
week and the Spanish commits
sioners announced the acceptance
of the American demands. The
Spanish acceptance was made verb
ally.
The Spanish commissioners an
nounced that. being authorized by
their government to reply that the
American propositions are inadmiss-
ible on legal principles and are not
a proper compromise on legal prin-
ciples, on the Spanish part all diplo-
matte resources are exhausted and
the Spanish commission is now
asked to accept or reject the propo-
sition Spain, inspired by reasons
of patriotism and humanity and to
avoid the horrors of war, resigns
herself to the power of the vic
tor She accepts the offered con-
ditions in order to conclude treaty
of peace.
The American demands include
the acquisition of the whole of the
Philippine and Sulu groups for
$20,000,000, and it is also under
stood the United States will pur-
chase the Caroline group. The
question of the debt of Cuba is left
unsettled.
The answer of the Spaniards was
so short that less than ten minutes
were consumed in rendering it into
English for the Americans.
The secretaries were ordered to
prepare the treaty articles en-
bodying the cession of Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines and the
payment by the United States Of
500, 100000 for submission to the
next meeting, which will be held
in few days
