CHATTANOOGA Tenn. June 2o-Dr.
Frederick II. Wines. one of the commit
tee of the Illinois Army and Navy League,
sent to Chickamauga Park to investigate
and report on the conditions of the camp,
in an interview tonight with the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press, said:
1.-The qHartermaster and commissary de-
partments are rapidly overtaking their re-
spensibilities, bat the medical department
lags painfully behind. The regiments are
inadequately supplied with necessary medi-
cines, and they cannot get them. The re-
QUESTIONS of the regimental surgeons are not
promptly filled and are only filled in part.
1t is to be presumed that this is because
there is an insufficient supply on hand but
this is fault which calls loudly for
remedy The lack of proper surgical instru-
ments is stu more obvious There are regi-
ments which have no instruments other
than a pocket case for minor surgery The
larger instruments in the possession of
other regiments are Anticipated and ineffi-
cient. OF course where medicines and surg
ical instruments are LACKING there is a de-
ficiency of other things needed in sickness.
The supply of ice ana eggs, for example is
almost shamefully inadequate The COM
mittee observed with somewhat painful in
terest the existence of a division of opinion
and sentiment with respect TO the proper
organization of the medical service The
army allow a certain NUMBER
of division surgeons, but the proper num-
Der has not been furnished, and this lack in
the staff has necessitated the drafting of
many regimental surgeons who are needed
IN their own commands In some cases
regiment has been left with a single sur
geon and that not the major. but one of
his assistants. II is evident that one man
cannot attend to the wants of twelve hun
dred enlisted men, The committee does not
believe that public opinion will approve of
the. ordering away from the regiments the
md Gnr and Ia.,x -frs,
those less competent to do the duty in their
stead. The policy of weakening the regl-
mental medical staff in ORDER TO organize
this branch of the service exclusively for
divisions appears TO be open to some grave
objections, whatever advantages il has to
oifer from the administration points OF view
and common sense suggests a medium
course
Fortunately the Red Cross has made its
appearance in camp in the person of DR.
Gill, Of New York. who Is about TO organ
lie medical supply depot which will he
centrally located. He will furnish certain
supplies until the government arrangements
are more complete"

A commission, appointed by the navy
board to investigate, examine and re-

has decided in favor of the Minneapolis

for the material that the, company will
probably have to quadruple its plant.
The great advantage of the local prod

Berlin, July 16. - The Cologne lei
tung denounces the story Of the Ger
man warship Irene interfering at Su-
big bay, Philippines, as a fabrication.
THE Lokal Anzieger says the Ameri-
cans are unreasonably excited about
the Irene incident, adding:
Even if it occurred as Admiral
Dewey says, the Irene did not inter-
fere, but retired upon the arrival of
the Americans. Therefore, every
courtesy was shown that the Ameri-
cans demand of a neutral country.
But if the Irene did hinder Aguinaldos
landing it is no business of Deweys.
II the American admiral sees fit to
make COMMON cause with insurgent
chiefs it is none Of our affair. Ger
many still preserves her Neutrality to-
ward Spain, and does not recognize,
nor intend to recognize, Aguinaldo and
his horde as belligerents. The matter
lis so plain that we do not believe any
diplomatic step will be taken. and do
not doubt for moment that the
American officials will admit the cor
rectness of the German proceedings"
The foregoing is believed to be in

right elbow, and five Cubans suffered
trifiing injuries. How many Spanish
lives answered for these will never be

enough to balance the score. The de-

ST. Paul, July 16.-The Pioneer Press
in a special from Washington says:
Independence for Cuba.
The transfer of Puerto Rico to the
United States in exchange for the
Philippines.
A coaling station in the latter islands
for the United States.
Spain is willing to make these con-
cessions to obtain peace, according to
dispatch received by President McKin-
ley from q semi-ot6cial sources. Ad-
ministration officials with whom
talked after they had learned of the
contents of the dispatch, informed me
that an official proposition embracing
these terms would be accepted by the
United States. Thus, if President Nc
Kinley's informant is correct, peace in
the near future is an absolute GER
tainty. His dispatch stated that the
ministry at a meeting to-day had de-
tinitely determined to abandon the
struggle and had decided to sue for
peace on the terms set forth.
In some circles find disposition to
accept the information as entirely
trustworthy, while in others there is
some doubt. There seems to be gem
,eral impression among administration
officials, however, that the prospect of
the commencement of negotiations for
the cessation of war is extremely
bright. This impression is primarily
based upon the action Of Gen. oral, aft
.er consultation with Madrid, in sur
rendering the city Of Santiago de Cuba
and the troops under his command.
Secondarily, it is based upon the re-
ports received from Madrid showing
that tlfe people are becoming convinced
of the uselessness of continuing the
struggle, and that pressure is being
eXerted in the interest of pace by the
Vatican and by at least one European
power.
1t can't be stated on authority that
no representation has yet been made
to this government, either from it's
agents abroad or from foreign repre-
;sentatives in Washington, respecting
its attitude upon the question Or the
terms which it will be willing to ac-
cept. There is no doubt Of the inten-
ton Of the president to push the cam
paign against Puerto Rico and to dis
patch the Eastern squadron to operate
against Spain, provided the Madrid
government should not be satisfied
with the mauling it has been given.
Mr.. Mckinley would, however, much
prefer that the war should end, and is,
therefore willing to be as lenient with
the Spanish government as possible.
