WAR INVESTIGAlIoN- The comnis-
si IN for the inv nyes5igation of the war
clos I'd it's sitting for the investigation
of the condition at Chickamauga Park
on the 10Th. The testimony generally
sustsins the claim of the healthfulness
OF the situation of the condition of the
park, but went to show that the
diseases which prevailed were attri-
bntabie to the disregard of sanitary
regulations on the part of the volun-
teers, and the lack of experienced
cooks. Many of the officers were in
competent, and the discipline was lax.
Some volunteer regiments never took
down their TENTS during their stay at
ths camp.

Wherever D. M. Clough has

it is cold fact. 1t is openly

BRITISHERS OFFENDED.
Mad Because War Bonds Are Offered
In France

London, June 15.-The ST. James Ga
zette, in its financial article, says:
1.-The city was surprised at the an
nouncement tlat Messrs. Seligman
were to receive applications for sub
scriptions to @the United States war
loan, and it also caused surprise to
learn that an appeal is being made
other continental centers, in identical
terms TO the appeal made in London.
1T was severely questioned in GER
to issue the loan on the continent, par
ticularly in France, where it was
thought the popular pro-Spanish feel
ing was so strong as to make the issue
ill-advised. 1t is opined by competent
financierS that had the issue been
properly placed before the British in
vestors there would have been no ne
cesSity to seek assistance on the con-
tinent. This action upon the part of
the United States is not liked in this
city, though sentiment would not have
been allowed TO enter into the financial
aspects had not the United States gov
eminent publicly announced that the
loan was a popular issue, appealing to
the sympathies of the Anglo-SaXon
race. There is no doubt whatever that
the issue will be over-subscribed in the
United States, but a certain portion is
reserved for European applications. al
though the exact as.ount is not known
to Messrs. Seligman."
The Westminster Gazette remarks:
The loan is no great catch. The IN
satisfactory feature is its possible re-
demption in silver. We think it can be
advantageously left to America, where
a large over-subscription is assured"
Washington, June 15.-The attention
of Secretary Gage was called today to
the cablegram from London, quoting
the st. James Gazette. to the effect
that subscriptions TO the new war loan
were being sought in London, Berlin,
Paris and other continental countries.
Secretary Gage made an emphatic de-
NAL that any steps of that character
should be taken or were under consid-

for Tampa, Fla, in the next few days
is the main topic of conversation in
Camp today, and it is being eagerly
discussed by both officers and men. 1t
is impossible to confirm the report, as
the army officials refuse to discuss it,
but nearly every man in camp now be-
lieves it.
Washington, June 15.-An authorita-
tive statement was made at the war
department today, contradicting the
reports from Chickamauga that 1900
troops have been ordered to move at
once. 1t is said that the orders sent
to the commanding officers at Chicka-
malaga direct the equipping and arm
ms Of the troops at the earliest possible
moment This, however, is in line with
the general policy of hurrying up
preparations all along the line. The
order did not suggest any movement
of $4,000 men. 1t may be naturally in
ferred that these orders to expedite
the equipment will lead up to subse-
quent orders for the movement of
troops.

MARINES AND SPAN|ARDS
Continued from Page -

two of the staff officers of General Gar
cha came here to confer with General
Miles. AT that time, Garcia and Rabi
were at Bayamo, in the western part
of Santiago province. and more than
100 miles northwest of Santiago de
Cuba Admiral SIMPSONS dispatch
shows that Rabi and his force have
made a complete circuit of Santiago de
Cuba, and, coming up to the south of
it, have occupied Accerraderos. This is
looked upon as a fine military stroke.
for Accerraderos is the port where an
iron wharf will afford facilities for I'M
loading the heavy artillery carried by
General Skaters invading expedition.
The news also indicated to the au-
thoritieS here that the Spanish garri-
son at Santiago has practically retreat
ed inside the city proper, giving up the
outlying towns.
Admiral Sampson also states that
General Garcia is cooperating with
the American forces. Whether this
means that Garcia himself has arrived
he has. the joint forces of Garcia and
Rabi will make 5000 to 5000 seasoned
Cubans, recently armed with Spring
fields, as a bushwhaclxing guerilla
force to aid the American troops. From
sources other than the dispatch of Adj
miral Sampson the navy department
has been informed that 500 Cubans
were rendering efficient aid to the ma
rines at Crest Hill. Now that Rabi
and Garcia are on the scene, this 500
will be swelled to thousands.
In making his march, Rabi has
crossed the line of communication be-
tween the Spanish commander, General
Pando, at Holguin. and the Spanish
forces at Santiago de Cuba. This fact
makes it clear that Santiago is not
likely to get re-enforcements from
General PandO. In circling around
Santiago to reach Accerraderos. Rabi,
it is believed here, has also established
it as a fact that the lines of commu-
and relief to Santiago are in
terrupted and practically cut off in all
directions

PURPOSE OF EXPEDITION.
Will Destroy Spanish Fleet and Then
Withdraw.

Washington, June 15.-Some of the con-
gressional visitors at the war department
have questioned the officials as to the
exact purpose of the military expedition
to Santiago. The IDEA has gotten abroad
that Santiago was to be made the base
of operations against Havana. 1t Is
learned. however, that the department S
plans do not contemplate this. The sole
purpose of landing troops at Santiago
and capturing the town is to destroy or
capture the Spanish fleet. Therefore, 1t
is said that as soon as Santiago is re-
duced and the Spanish fleet disposed of,
the United States troops will be dispatch
ed to some other point, either Porto Rico
or Havana. leaving the insurgents in
eastern Cuba to prevent the Spaniards
from reoccupying Santiago. If the insur-
gents cannot be depended upon to do this
and it must be confessed that the Off
Gals are beginning to be oppressed by
very great doubts as to the amount of
service to be expected from the insurgents
in natural warfare, then some of the
United States troops, perhaps 5000, will
be left in the vicinity of Santiago, under
the protection of some of the American
cruisers. which by that time will have
effected an entrance into Santiago bay.

TRANSPORTS LOADED DOWN.
Thirty-six Vessels Carried the Army
of Invasion to Cuba.

Tampa. Fla, June 15.-When the last
transport disappeared from Port
Tampa the count showed that there
were Sc vessels bearing the army of
invasion. These sc transports were ac-
companied TO Cuba by 16 warships.
Many of the transports were literally
black with soldiers, the great loads Of
humanity causing the vessels to draw
all the way from 16 to q feet of water.
The departure of the fleet was a most
picturesque sight. From the time that
the first vessel loaded with United
States soldiers left the bay until the
last ship here disappeared there was
not the slightest confusion or accident.
Every vessel cleared easily and per
haps with less difficulty than would
have happened in any other southern
port.
One of the striking features before
the fleet left was the brilliant effect
given by the electric lights supplied by
one of the largest electric plants in the
south. 1t is believed that many of the
outgoing vessels will return from San
tiago within the next week or ten
days, and will probably transport an
other great army to Porto Rico, which
is now being hurried forward from
various points in the south, especially
from the national camp at Chicka-
mauga.

THIRD EXPEDITION.
Will Sail About the 25th, and Take
the Idaho Troops.


San Francisco. June 15.-No definite
date can be named at present for the
sailing of the third expedition to the
Philippines. Preparations will be
/ pushed forward rapidly
/ Thus far the steamers chartered for
the next expedition are the Indiana,
/ Ohio, Morgan City, City of Para and
! three Northern Pacific steamers now at
Seattle or en- route hither from Puget
Sound. There is talk of securing the
! Sar Bles.
/ The Indiana is now being QUILTED
and the Morgan City is ready 10 re-
ceive troops. The Ohio is not yet
locked, and the Pueblo is on her way
90 this port from Puget Sound.
June 20 has been mentioned provis-
iOnally as the date of sailing. 1t re-
quired p days to prepare for sailing
The four vessels which went out today,
but the long delay was caused by the
non arrival of supplies. There are hun
dreds of carloads of supplies here now,
and so it will hardly take so great a
length of time to prepare the third
fleet for service.
Much interest is manifested by the
troops stationed at Camp Merritt re-
garding what organizations are to form
the third expedition. 1t is the general
understanding that the expedition will
be in command of Brigadier General
King, but just what troops Will be as
signed to him has not yet been an
nOunced. The opinion of the officers in
camp is that the expedition will be
composed OF the Idaho battalion, the
Thirteenth Minnesota, the Twentieth
Kansas, the First Montana and the
Seventh California regiments. These
troops are now equipped and could
leave in a short time.
Major General Otis this afternoon is
sued an order directing that details Of
men be sent TO guard transports in the
bay, as follows: From the Minnesota
regiment, TO guard the steamer City Of
Para; from the Idaho battalion. to
guard the Morgan City and the Ohio;
from the Seventh California regiment,
to guard the Indiana. The details were
given five days rations.

Washington, D. c., June 15.-The favor
able report of the house committee on
the Cannon bill opening the Uncompahgre
mineral lands was printed today. The
house committee amends the bill by au-
] thorizing the secretary of the interior to
! lease the reserved mineral lands on royal
/ ties. determined by the secretary. The
amendments, and more particularly GER
! tain language in the report, have outraged
| the members of the Utah delegation. In
| this report there are expressions that the
members of the delegation regard as per-
| Sonally offensive. 1t is stated that the
| opening of the reservation. as provided
! by the senate bill, would lead to "A scan
dalouS capture of the mineral wealth of
! Utah by few Shrewd men, and that
| the proposed opening is a case of Min
eral prospecting in the corridors of the
capitol.
The Utah senators do not mince words
in denouncing this report as having been
drawn uD in the interests of the eastern
syndicate that seeks to seize the lands.
They say that, whatever happens, the
Uncompahgre gilsonite lands shall never
be leased. as provided in the house
amendment.
Judge King. has carefully investigated
the action of the house committee on this
matter. He says that the report was
never formally submitted to the commit
tee. and is the individual work of Judge
Lacey of the house committee.
RELIEF FROM ASSESSMENTS.
Representative shafroth this afternoon
reported from the house public lands COM
mlttee the bill relieving enlisted mine
owners from assessment work. The bill
contains the amendments suggested by
Judge Bell, extending the operations of
the law to cover partial as well as entire
owners of mines. In his report Mr.. Shat
roth says: The statutes of the United
States require that the locator of each
mining claim shall do 800 worth of work
each year upon the same in order to re-
tain his right to acquire title to the prop
erty. This work is called the annual as
sessment work A great many soldiers
who are interested in mines have enlisted
in the army. and 1t is impossible for them
to do the assessment work on their claims
while they are absent risking their lives.
there ought to De no possibility of them
losing an interest in any mining claim
they possess by a failure TO do this work.
The amendments which are made are for
the purpose of protecting those soldiers
and sailors who have undivided interests
in mining claims. which should be pro-
tected as well as where the claim is en-
tirely held by enlisted men,.

GERMANS AT MANILA.
May Oppose the Debarkation of the
American Troops.

London, June 15.-HThe Star today reit-
crates the story that Emperor William of
Germany has ordered the German consul
at Manila to oppose the debarkation of
American troops unless in sufficient force
zens. The Star adds that an order to this
effect has been officially given to the
United States embassy at Berlin and to
Secretary Day of Washington.
Admiral Dietrichs. according to the
Star. has 2,400 troops. and he could dis
embark 1850 with two batteries of ar
tillery for the partial occupation of Ma
Mia.
Continuing. the Star says: Germany is
not likely to have taken such a grave step
without securing the adhesion of other
powers interested in the far east, namely,
Russia. Japan and England. They are
certainly hostile to Germany's project. but
it is not thought likely that they will
raise objections and we may soon have
very imnOrtant news from Manila,

GRAVEYARD IN CAMP.
Two Chinese Skeletons Dug Up By the
Soldiers.

San Francisco, June 15.-Lieutenants
Dull and Wilson of the Fifty-frst Iowa,
while prodding the ground in their tent
with a bayonet, unearthed a coffin con-
tanning a human skeleton. About the
same time another skeleton was dug
up just outside the tent. The bodies
are. supposed to be those of Chinese,
the site of the camp having once been
used as a burial ground by these peo-
pie.
1t is stated that the order issued by
Major General Otis directing all Of
ficers who had brought horses with
them to either ship their mounts home
or turn them over to the inspectors to
be examined and bought by the gov
eminent for cavalry purposes. will be
rescinded if a vessel suitable for their
transportation can be secured.

ROUTE OF THE TRANSPORTS.
Probably Sailing Eastward Along the
North Coast of Cuba.

washington, June 15.-Although the
Tampa dispatches say that the trans
port fleet was going to double Cape
Antonio, the western extremity of
Cuba, in proceeding TO Santiago. the
navy officials DO not believe that this is
the case, for the reason that the west
ern route is fully 200 miles longer than
the route by way of Cape Mayai, and
that the transports would have to fight
the gulf stream until they go clear
around Cape Antonio.
On the eastern course the ships
would have the full benefit of the fav-
orable current until they reached Cape
Maysi, about two-thirds of the distance
to be Travelled.
1t is believed here that the idea that
the ships We're westward bound comes
from the circumstances that they head
ed for Tortugas, the point selected for
the fleet of transports to pick up the
heavier vessels of the convoy squad
ron, such as the Indiana, which has
not been able to get within ten miles
of Key West because of the lack of
water. The officials see no reason to
correct their original estimate that the
troops will be off Santiago Friday.
