TO MAKE INVESTIGATION,
Commission Will Be Appointed To Visi,
and Make Report Upon the Con-
ditiOns of Army Camps.

WASHINGTON, Sept. lot is said
that the proposed commission for the
investigation of affairs of the war de-
partment has been under considera.
ton for some time by the president.
Just what its duties will be when ap-
pointed has not been definitely de-
termined, but il can be stated
that one reason for its creation
will be to visit and report upon
the conditions in the various army
camps and to satisfy the anxious rela-
tives of soldiers that the care that is
being taken of them is the best that
can be afforded, and, if not, to ascer-
tain what should be done and report
to the war department Officials at
the war department say that in
Spectors and army officers have been
sent to make Investigations, and where
any fault has been discovered it has
been corrected. The suggestion is to
have q commission composed of emi.
nent men, whom the people all know,
to make tour of the camps and see
what is lacking and to say what the
real conditions are. Whether or not
the commission is to extend its inves.
LEGATIONS into the conduct Of the
war department in relation to
other features of the war
remains to be seen. The war depart
ment officials believe that there have
been greatly exaggerated com plants
made of the different camps and that
this should be first investigated so as
to convince the fathers and mothers
and other relatives of the Soldiers
that their men are being we'll taken
care of.
The president has decided to appoin:
a commission to investigate the war
department Maj. Gen. Schofeld and
ex-senator John B. Gordon, of Geor-
gia, have been asked to accept places
upon the commission.

The American Evacuation Commission
Arrived Saturday and Were We'll
coined by Spanish Officers.

HAVANA, Sept 12.-The United
States transport Resolute, having on
board the American evacuation COM
mission, was sighted at Z o'clock Sat
urday morning from MORO Castle and
entered the port of Havana at 7:45 a.
N. She anchored near a place called
Triscornio, a most healthy part of the
bay.
At o'clock Gen. Solano, the chief of
staff, and Maj. Garcia Bonitor, of the
general staff, left the palace in car
riage, and a little while afterward
Gen. Parade, a member of the Spanish
commission. and DIR. Congosto, secre-
tary general of the government, drove
in a carriage to La Machina wharf.
Both parties there embarked in a
steam launch and went on board the
ResOlute to welcome the American
commissioners.
The palace of the captain general
has been pre- pared to do honor to the
American commissioners. The stairs
have been carpeted as upon the occa-
sion of great reception days and the
commissioners will be received in the
salon of the crown. Capt. Gen. Blanco
will be in full uniform.

INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE.
Several Prominent Gentlemen Have Been
Asked to Serve, But Most of Them,
it is Thought, Will Decline.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-At the white
house no statement was made Sunday
night as to the status of the commits
sion to inquire into the adninistra-
ton of army bureaus, although it was
understood that most of the gentle
men invited by the president to serve
on the commission were heard from.
Some of them had written that
they had the matter under cOnsidera-
ton, and it was thought to be de-
sirable to await final conclusions by
all of those asked to serve before max
ing any announcement. 1t appears tc
be accepted among high officials that
Gen. Gordon, Mr.. Lamont and Mr..
Lincoln are not likely to accept. The
two eX-secretarieS of war are very
busy men of affairs and it is thought
to be hardly probable that they can
spare the time for the work
of the commission. 1t was re-
ported Sunday night that Mr..
Lamont's declination had been re-
ceived, but this, on inquiry, failed Of
confirmation. The opinion was eX.
pressed by high officials that Gen.
Henderson, Col. Sexton and DR.. Keen
might serve. AS stated, however,
some of the gentlemen have written
that they had the matter under advise
ment and there is considerable doubt
what the result will be.

AN EXPLOSION.
Four and Possibly a Dozen Lives Lost
by the Catastrophe.
Seven Persons Were Terribly Injured
Four Dead Bodies Were Taken
From the Misunderstanding
Postponed Till Daylight,

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 12.-By the ex-
plosion Of 40 gallons of gasoline in the
cellar of a grocery store at 1444 South
street, Sunday night, surely four and
possibly a dozen more lives were
lost. AS an immediate consequence of
the explosion, the building, where it
occurred and those adjoining it on
either side, collapsed, and up TO 10
o'clock, four hours after the occur
renee, four bodies had been recovered
from the ruins and three of these
iden titled, as follows:
Samuel Schattenstein, keeper of the
grocery store; his 19-year-old son,
Abraham; a ten-months' old child
named Gold berg; the fourth body was
that of a girl about ten years old.
How the explosion occurred is yet
unknown. The front of No. l444
was Immediately blown out and
this was followed by the col
lapse of that structure and Nos.
1442, occupied by Morris Goldbrig,
furniture store and 1446, Louis Sallo-
noses shoe store. The west wall of
144O, occupied by L. Wangers clothing
store, was blown out. All the build
ings were of brick, three stories in
height. In the confusion and excite
ment following the disaster, it is as
yet impossible to secure anything like
an accurate census of the occupants,
but it is generally stated that the up.
per floors were crowded with families,
huddled together in tenement fashion.
Coming as it did at the supper hour,
it is feared the loss of life will be
heavy. The list of injured will be
long. They were taken to all hos
pitfalls within radius of mile.
After the recovery of the four bodies
the authorities decided to postpone
the search for additional victims until
Monday morning, thus obviating the
dangers and delays of working upon
the mass of debris and wreckage in the
darkness.
The corpses of Schattenstein and his
son were picked up on the steps of No.
1444. The unidentified ten-year-old
girl was found pinioned by a mass of
timbers in the rear of the same build
ing, and the Goldberg child died while
being taken to a hospital
The injured at the Howard hospital
are: l.. Schattenstein, aged -, broken
nose and laceration of scalp; Alexan-
der Schattenstein, aged 6, lacerated
scalp, condition serious; Mary Healey,
aged 65, fractured leg; Annie McPhil-
omy, 40 years, confusion of ankle;
Harry Rothermet, 10 years. Iacerated
scalp; Maggie Goldberg, 80 yeasE, la
cerated scalp; Sarah Goldberg, IA
years, lacerated scalp and confused
ankle.
At the Jefferson hospital are A. F.
Fish, SO years, fireman of truck D,
lacerated wound of scalp, and Yetta
Goldberg, nine years, confusion of
leg anG back and lacerated wound of
scalp.
At the Polytechnic is Rose Schatten-
stein, eight years, lacerated finger.

you should act at once before the relapse
from the war puts prices on the advance.
