THAT ROUND ROBIN.
Gen. Shafter Claims 1t Was q Bit
Too Pesimistfc.

WASHINGTON. Aug. Seen. Shafter has
telegraphed the president regarding the pub
lication Of the round robin" signed by the
general officers Of his command follows:
can very readily see what intense ex-
element the publication must have occa-
sioned great deal more than the situation
warranted. Situation is greatly aggravated
from the fact that before any of the men
hausted At least Is per cent Of the COM
mand had been down with malarial fever,
from which they recover very slowly. and are
in ;, no condition to withstand an attack of
yellow fever or dysentery Placed here
now in the condition in which they were
when they came here. 1 do not believe they
would be in any particular danger. The regi-
ment Of immunes that recently. arrived Is
not suffering at all, and 1 don't believe they
will. They can keep out of the sun, are
well clothed and well fed. What put my
twenty days of the campaign, when they had
nothing but meat, bread and coffee, without
change of clothes, without any shelter what
as 1t has been since the surrender Fresh
troops reaching here in the middle Of Au-
gust. with good camps, good water. abund-
need not apprehend serious danger. 1 thank
you for the high regard in which you hold
my command and the value of the service
they have rendered 1t pays for al the suf-
Gems Wheeler, Lawton, Bates and Kent, who
concur with me in the view expressed above
This evening Gen. Shafter supplemented his
first dispatch with second on the same
subject as follows:
Santiago, Aug. s.-Adjutant General of the
Army, Washington, D. c.: In connection
with my telegram of the Sd instant and the
letter of the general officers to me of the same
date, l have tie honor to say that since then
l have talked with the division commanders
and they join me in saying that the first re-
port was made so strong because of the
weakened and exhausted condit on of the
command. more than 75 per cent Of which
have been i'll with very weakening malarial
fever, lasting from four to six days, and
which leaves every man too much broken
down to be of any service and in no condition
to withstand an epidemic of yellow fever
For strong and healthy regiments com ng
here now and little later with plenty Of
tentage to cover them and not subject to any
hardships, together with plenty of nourishing
food. the danger, in my opinion, and that Of
the division commanders, will be Reduced
to minimum. -Shafter, Major General.

Missing Party of Seventeen bound
for the MuskOvite River.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. S.-A letter re-
ceived by the Alaska Commercial company,
dated Alaska, July %, says:
Information reached here is to the effect
that an entire party Of twelve prospectors,
calling themselves the Columbia exploring
company, together with the Rev. Weber, q
Moravian missionary, his wife and two native
pilots bound for the Muskovite river, have
been lost Not long ago the Rev. Weker was
asked by some of the prospecting party who
were aboard the steamer Lakme, to go with
them pilot and interpreter, with two In
dian pilots up the Muskovite river. He
agreed to do SO, taking his wife and children
along. On June "a. Weber met the party.
who had fifty-foot steamer and two barges.
They were at Good News bay, but were short
one boat which was needed to carry their
stores. On July q, the natives say the small
steamer with two barges in tow left Good
News bay to proceed up the river Soon
after their departure terrific storm arose
A few days later the natives reported a
strange barge ashore the north side CT the
river. 1t was laden with supplies, all of
which were appropriated by the finders.
Later on raft was found adrlft. Netting
has been heard of any Of the seventeen peo-
pie who started I'D the river and all are
thought to have perished The names OF the
prospectors have not yet been ascertained."

position to the requirement Of territory,
says today: ~s5@. a
There will be no trouble about the
platform. All that Bland desired from
the start was to prevent declaration
against the annexation Of territory His
position is just this: We will have
Porto Rico in short time. When peace
is declared the Americans will pour
into Cuba and develop its industries.
Before year, perhaps, formal applica-
tion will be made to be annexed to
the United States. and Cuba will in
evitably pass into our hands. Why
should the Democratic party Of Mis-
souri, declare itself against procedure
which will be shortly consummated? AS
to the Philippines, we have no business
with territory ON the other side Of the
world, except sufficient to answer for
a coaling station or naval harbor
Therefore I say that Bland and Stone
are in perfect accord on this subject"
Democratic State Committeeman Vir-
gil M. Conklin. Of, Carroll, voiced the
Missouri sentiment in it's extreme to-
day, when he said:
II am in favor Of acquiring all the
territory favored by every other Dem
ocrat, and, in addition, a coaling sta
ton at Cadiz"

On the Santiago Expedition Sub
verted to Individual interests
Alleges That Officers In Charge of
Hospital Ships Disobeyed Orders.
WASHINGTON, Aug. s. Surgeon
General Sternberg has received re-
port concerning the conditions existing
at Santiago, medical supplies. transpor-
tati0n and other features connected
with the expedition to Santiago under
Gen. Shafter. The report explains
what has been done by the medical de-
partment, and gives the disadvantages
under which the department operated
in Cuba.
The report claims that the medical
department eXerted every effort to per-
form its duties in caring for sick and
wounded, and that the lack of facil-
itieS to handle medicines and supplies
was solely responsible for the suffer-
ins 5 endured by the men of Gen. Shat
tiers forces before Santiago.
Edward l.. MunSon, captain and as
sistant surgeon in charge, who makes
Ghe report, adds:

officially that the captain of the steam
ship Segra positively refused to obey
the orders emanating from your office,
given him by the contract surgeon in
charge, to proceed to New York-he
remaining nearly an additional day at
Hampton Roads with sick and wound
ed, and asserting that he would obey
no orders given by the medical depart
ment. a similar experience of my own
al Daiquiri, which had to be settled
by force, emphasizes the fact that no
one should be placed in charge of such
q ship who is not accustomed to COM
Tmand men and enforce obedience.
with regard to the Red Cross So
ciety, it would seem as if the lofty
purposes of this organization were, on
the Santiago expedition, subverted to
Individual interests. While at Tampa
the Red Cross ship State of Texas was
Formally placed under the control Of
the chief surgeon, Fifth corps, by DR..
Egan, the representative Of the So
ciety, he acting under Geographic in
structions to that effect. Col. Pope
accepted this offer and directed that
the State Of Texas accompany the eX-
petition of Gen. Shafter to it's desti-
nation. Although this order was fully
understood by DR.. Egan, the State Of
Texas did not accompany the eXpedi-
tiOn, nor did it arrive at Siboney until
the forces nau Deen landed, battle
fought and our hospitals established
and in working order. The first offers
of aid made by this society dealt large
ly in generalities and manifested reluc-
tance to subordinate the organization
to the medical department.
Too much praise cannot be given to
the individual efforts of DR.. Lesser and
the Red Cross nurses. Their work was
untiring and unselfish. and the assist
ance rendered by them was of great
value"

American mission establishments In
Turkey, during the Armenian troubles.
1t is learned that this answer was re-
turned some time ago. and. in fact,
has been persistentiy rendered by Tur-
key whenever approached on this sub
jeot. The Turkish answer has adroitly
cited the attitude Of the United States
in cases where claims were preferred
by foreign governments for damages
sustained by their citizens in riot.

CONDEMNS SCHOOL MAPS
ARE OFFICIALLY DECLARED TO
BE INCORRECT


WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-The official
maps OF the government are, by the
authority of the government. declared
to be incorrect. and, as now printed
perpetuate mistake which Is being
taught in many of the schools of this
country. The map in question is de-
clared faulty in that 1t shows the
Louisiana cession to extend beyond the
ROCKY mountains and to include what
are now known as Washington, Ore
gon and parts of Montana. Idaho and
wyoming. Commissioner of the Gen.
eral Land Office Binger Hermann, af-
ter an exhaustive examination of au-
thorit1es, has recommended that the
new maps make the Louisiana cession
end at the Rocky mountains, and his
suggestion has been adopted by Score
tary Of the Interior Bliss. The com
missioner has had published an official
report upon the subject, containing
maps and illustrations. The country
beyond the Rockies will on the new
maps be shown to have been acquired
by discovery in 1892, by exploration in
1905, by Astoria settlement in 1911, and
by the Florida treaty In 1919. Author
tiles are cited to uphold this view, and
the erroneous statements are given
upon which popular, misconception is
based. The facts Of history, Jefferson,
Marbois, Greenbow and others, are
quoted in opposition to the present
idea. A review of annexation by the
United States is included in the re-
port, and the benefits arising from
such acquisitions are pointed out. The
report says. .
THE grand total Of the sums paid
for our foreign acquisitions amounts to
y52, 200, coo. a sum less than the value
Of one years output of Montana's min
erals, Of Minnesota's annual wheat
yield, or Of the cattle and hay product
Of California for one year."
A new map Of Alaska, showing new
gold discoveries, and other mineral de-
posts, land offices, new routes to the
interior, ETC., Is also Incorporated.
