Gen Howard Takes of Odors, Flies and
an Inundation of Beer.
Washington, Dec 23.--The war inves-
tigation commission to-day was reduced
to two members, Chief of Engineers,
General Nj. Wilson, and Colonel DENLY.
General Wilson has practically trans
ferred his War Department office to the
commissions quarters and Colonel Den
by to-day ofticiated as interrogation with
General A. o. Howard, retired, in the
witness chair.
General Howard told how disappoint-
ed he had been III not securing assign
ment for active service during the war
and how he had done the best thing fo1
his country by accepting the office of
visiting delegate for the Army and Navy
Christian Commission and distributing
tracts and other things through the
Southern camps. He said these camps
as a rule We're in good condition but
he noticed confusion in the railway ar
rangements ut Tampa, an inundation of
beer in one colored camp there and a
plague of flies on his second visit to
Mobile. He went at some length into
the question of odors at Camp Thomas
uuFlUS July, WleFe ne Salu IHeV were
varied and repulsive. He had suggested
chloride of lime to General Brooke, who
received the suggestion favorably and
distributed thirty-nine barrels of lime
in one day. The smells continued He
praised the work of the Army ana
Navy Christian Commission.
Regarding General Lees command at
Jacksonville. General Howard said he
had not believed before it was possible
for a camp to be kept in such fine condi-
ton. General Howard said he was
strongly opposed to burocracy and
thought commanding general should
be in absolute control of his camp or
corps. General Wilson became interest
ed in this and asked if General Howard
thought the management of Camp
Thomas had been hampered by buro-
cracy. 1t took about fifteen minutes to
get direct answer, the witness offering
numerous illustrations and examples OF
what he thought constituted burocracy.
But on the third repetition of the ques-
tion, General Howard said he thought
there might have been something of
the sort in connection with Camp Thom-
as.
The commission adjourned till Tues.
day next.

Strong reliability of Modifying it to
Meet Present Conditions.

Washington, Dec 23.-It is accepted
as little short of certain in the best in
formed official and diplomatic circles
that negotiations will be opened at an
early day toward so modifying the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty as to meet the condi-
tions of the present day concerning Am-
erican construction and control of the
Nicaraguan Canal. But while recent
events on both sides of the water have
made this move obvious, the British Am
bassador Sir Julian Pauncefote has
not up to the present time, received any
instructions to open negotiations on this
subject nor any intimation that instruc-
tions are about to be received.
