SPANISH TROOPS.
Great Discomfort Now Pre-
walls Among Them.

Havana, via Key West, Oct. 22-
Spanish troops because of lack of pay
ment, in some cases for six months, in
others for seven months, and in still
others for even eight months and the
soldiers fear that they will be embark
ed for Spain without receiving their
pay.
The poor quality of the food supplied
to nearly all the soldiers has occasioned
much i'll feeling, and serious insubordi-
nations are feared in several localities.
In the province of Puerto Principe, of
the 400 members Of the civil guard, 300
have deserted and gone over to the in
surgents. At Neuvitas the Tarragona
battalion became insubordinate and at
tempted to join the insurgents on ac-
count of short rations and the wretched
quality of the food supplied by their
chief Gen. March, in command in that
province, on learning of this occurrence,
went to Neuvitas and succeeded In con-
trolling the soldiers by furnishing them
with good and plentiful rations.
Many soldiers, until recently, were
deserting. but Gen. Blancos decree re-
garding the disbandment has put stop
to the defections over 5000 soldiers
have been mustered out since the issu-
ance of the decree.
The sanitary brigades of Havana,
Guanabacoa, Reglas and Guines, with
those of several other localities in Ha-
vana province have petitioned Gen.
Blanco that they be disbanded so they
may remain in the island. Some of the
engineer brigades have also solicited
their discharge here. The greater part
of them are composed of the best drilled
soldiers over 400 of the 700 members Of
the Orden Pubico, at Havana. have
also asked to be mustered out In order
that they may remain in Cuba, and so
per cent of all the civil guards in the
island have made a similar request.
None of the artillerymen, however,
have asked to be allowed to remain.
The reason for this is said to be the
artillery chiefs ability to maintain an
honest administration and that the SOL
diers are well supplied with food and
clothing and are paid up to date.

ATCAMP SHIPP.
The War Board Makes an
Inspection.

Admission, Oct. 22.-The war investl-
eating commission began it's work here
today by making an inspection of the
site of Camp Shipp in the forenoon, and
then devoting the afternoon to ques-
tioning Gen. Frank, commanding ofil-
Ger of the camp, and his chief surgeon,
Major Henry f. Hoyt.
Both were identified with Camp
Thomas at Chickamauga, Gen. Frank
having been in command of the first
division of the third corps at that
point, and Maj. Hoyt had been his chief
surgeon there.
Gen. Frank said he considered Chick
amauga Park a good site for tenn
porary camp, but not for a permanent
camp for q large army. The chief diff
ficulty was in putting sinks down deep
enough. Owing to the rock formation
near the surface, sinks could only be
made two or three feet deep. and were
frequently overtlowed There WAS also
a general impression that the springs
in the locality We're impregnated by
these sinks and it was impossible to
prevent the men from drinking from
the springs. He thought the camp
should have been moved as early as
July. He said he had heard no com~
plant from the men in regard to the
food received at Chlckamauga, but be-
cause of the necessity of getting the
first corps ready for service, there was
a shortage in clothing for time. Re-
turning to Chickamauga, he said the
hospital tents were not hoored while
he went to the camp early in July,
cFrff ffif4fsAt Ina
to have furnished flooring for the en-
tire company. Gen. Frank said that
his corps commander had never been
on an inspection of the camp with ref
erence to sinks, drains, etc.
Dr. Henry f. Hoyt was examined, es-
pecially with reference to Camp Thom-
as. He said the increase in sickness
above the normal had begun about the
middle of July and had been rapid
from that time forward, until there
were $50 patients in the first division
hospital on the first of August. Al
this time 1t was impossible to receive
new patients for period of a hours
The increase in disease had begun with
the rainy season, and he thought much
of the malaria had been due to the fact
that the men were compelled to sleep
on the ground. He attributed the in
crease in typhoid to the sinks, to the
flies, to the fact that the wells We're
infected, and to the carelessness of the
men. The water used was taken
through pipes from Chickamauga river
and the pipe was located only a few
feet from the mouth of the stream
that drained the camp.
DR.. Hoyt expressed the opinion thai
surgeons in the division hospital hac
been competent, and in support Of his
opinion, he adduced the fact that there
had been only 81 deaths out Of l34s pa
tients in the hospital for the entire
three summer months.

THE change of tone of the press is

HAGENBACK'S SHOW.


bringing to ais country from Ger
many an exhibition of trained wild
animals of the most ferocious species,
the equal of which had never before
been seen. Immense as was Herr Hag-
enbeck's aggregation that season, still
greater by far is Hagenbeck's Trained
exposition. The magnitude and popu-
larity which confound all and, in the
representation at the daily perform
ances, amazes and attracts the larg-
est audiences of any show in numbers
of daily attendance on the grounds.
Hagenbeck's is without doubt the
finest and most valuable collection of
wild animals in captivity in America.
1t was regarded as of so great import
ance as an educational feature toward
increasing the interest o. the children
in the study of natural history and
wild animals which inhabit the Afri-
can jungles and other remote parts of
the globe, that the managers of the
exposition erected $4,000 building
as a special inducement for the pro-
prietors to visit Omaha. Hagenbeck's
show contains over 300 animals, every
portion of the globe having been
searched regardless of outlay in or
der to bring to the Omaha exposition
the finest specimens and the greatest
animal actors of every kind procura-
BILE.
A strong element of popularity at
Hagenbeck's is the lion display. So
many and such noble specimens were
never before gathered together under
one roof in the United States at any
one time. The numberless baby lions
which are handled like kittens, are the
delight of the little folks. One of the
grandest specimens of the kings OF
