Newport News, Va, Oct. 5.-Just be-
fore the tide from old ocean reached
Its crest at 1885 yesterday, the H.

Sans fighting navy, plunged into the
historic James. As the steel monster
trembled in her fight from earth to

Of sparkling champagne upon the yes

that made it the 9odchild Of the great

the 10000 people assembled to send up

reportera shortage or rations, ana ne
had Immediately telephoned to the
rear and the shortage, which was due
to accident, had been adjusted. The
meat was poor and they had no bread
but hard tack. They were forced to
live in the sun and water alternately
and necessarily there was much sick
ness. While they had the full quota
Of doctors and nurses, he thought that
II more had been furnished the men
would have been better cared for. As
for rations, three days supply was
generally issued. He said that as a
rule the quality Of hard tack was good.
Where there was any deterioration 1t
was due to local rains and not to the
fact of original inferiority.
Capt Howell asked to what he at
tributed the development Of disease
after the capitulation of Santiago and
Zen. Wheeler replied that it was due
to the climate and to the exposure
made necessary. SO far as he knew
there was general commentator OF
the medical corps, except that on one
or two occasions there had been some
grumbling in regard to general condi.
tons. lie thought there was a def.
cheney In the number of ambulances,
but this deficiency was due to the ext.
gencies Of the campaign.
He said in reply to a question that
the tents had been left on board the
transports so no time should be con.
sumed in removing them. 1--WE were
there for business" he said, 'and we
felt that prompt disem barkatiou and q
speedy movement to the front would
impress the enemy more than anything
else we could do" There was also .
shortage at this time Of Transports
ton facilities. The deficiency Of traus
portation after the landing was the
reason why the tents were not brought
up, why the siege guns were not
brought up and why many things were
not done.
After recess Gen. Wheeler devoted
his testimony chiefly to his experience
at Wikoff, Montauk point The presi.
dent, in giving him commanA there,
had ordered him to spare no pains or
expense to make the men comfortable
He made an examination of the camp
and found 1t necessary to undertake
much preparation to care for the men
properly, to bore wells, lay water
pipes, build laundries, disinfecting
plants, get floors for the tents, erect
hospitals, etc. The surgeons, at his
request, had made list Of special arti.
cles to be purchased for the sick. The
people came with many kinds Of food,

that no army on earth was ever 90

and luxuries"
The general location and the trans

in the throng proceeded to enjoy the

the banquet in the afternoon and the
ball at Old Point Comfort in the even

From many points of view the
launching Of the Illinois was the most
important Of the kind In the history
Of our country. The vessel is the lsrg-

Long before the hour Of the launch

spot and by II o'clock standing room

Enthusiastic cheers greeted the arrival
of the distinguished guests In shor,
time the work Of releasing the grea'
mass of iron and steel was complete
and as the first thrill OF life was i'm
parted to the great ship Miss Mamie
Letter, the eldest daughter Of Mr.. L.
2. Letter, the well-known Chicago
capitalist, seized the gsyly decorated
bottle Of champagne which hung pend.
ant from the deck above by q silken
cord and broke 1t over the side bow.
As the bright, sparkling wine ran
down the vessels side, Miss Letter ex'
claimed: II christen thee Illinois"
Few in the vast crowd could hear
the words spoken by Miss Letter, but
nearly all were able to see her, and
when she raised the bottle of wine In
her hand and dashed 1t against the
steel Of the battleship the action was
q signal for their enthusiasm to break
forth with full force. There was q
groaning from the timbers, the ground
trembled as the thousands Of tons OF
steel shot downward and the spray
that was sent ,aloft rose higher than
the platform On which stood the little
woman who had named the new craft.
An interesting incident, not on the
official programme, was the presents
tion by one OF the workmen employed
on the huge frsighteI of q souvenir to
Miss Letter. A small piece of steel
had been cut from one Of the plates by
the workmen, one side Of which had
been polished and looked like silver,
and the other side painted red. the
color Of the Illinois. A silver chain Is
riveted to the souvenir, which IL in
scribed as follows: This piece Of plate
was cut from the hull Of the United
States battleship Illinois, and pre-
scented to Miss Letter, sponsor, by the
men employed in its construction.

WHEELER TESTIFIES
The General Appears before the
War Investigating Committee.
The PLAN OF CAMPAIGN PERFECT.


Washington, Oct 5.-The war in.
vestigating commission began Its ex-
animation Of witnesses yesterday by
placing Gen. Joseph Wheeler on the
stand. Chairman Dodge stated to him
the scope Of the commissions duties
and asked Gen. Wheeler whether he
had any objections to being sworn.
He replied that he had none, and Maj
Miles, recorder for the commission,
administered the OATH Ex-Gov. Beaver
conducted the examination, develop.
Ing the essential facts as to Gen.
Wheeler's rank and his command. Gen.
Wheeler stated that he left Tampa for
Cuba on the l4th Of June, but that he
had no knowledge Of the plan Of
campaign before going aboard the
transport Discussing the plan Of
campaign, he said he doubted whether
any more perfect plan could have been
adopted. Speaking Of the medical de.
psrtment he said that at times there
were complaints, but that they were
not serious On occasions there was q
shortage Of surgeons, some Of the sur.
geons being sick or wounded Accord
ing TO Gen. Wheeler's belief the
wounded In battle were promptly
cared for by the surgeons After the
fight Of July all the wounded were
carried from the field that night The
witness had heard that there was more
complaint Of the shortage Of medicine
among the infantry than in the cavalry.
Going back to Tampa, he said that
ct the season he was there, the frst
half Of June, the site was without Oh.
lection, but he had felt that 1t would
be wet later in the season. 1t was his
impression that Tampa had been Sc.
lected as camp site after the begin.
ming Of the war and was incidental to
the intended movement on Havana.
There was, he said, at times some
shortage Of supplies at the camp, but
nothing" he added, that q soldier
could complain Of" They had com.
Portable tents and the commissary
supplies were sufficient The water
also was good. lie said the men In his
command were we'll taken care Of.
