Commissioner Carleton has re-
turned from Bangor where he went to
conduct case against F. H. Stinson

other trip to Bangor to prosecute
Stinson's accomplice in the crime
When Mr.. Carleton arrived there
Thursday, Mr.. Stinson wished to set
tie for the usual amount under the law
ton declined to do this. as he wished
to prosecute all who were concerned
The man was taken before the court
and the name of the other man in the
case was drawn from him, after he had
pleaded guilty to the crime. His SEN
tence was withheld until Saturday
Mr.. Carleton swore out warrant
againstith accomplice and sent war

The fish and game department, that

case with the other sporting supplies
by the company.
Later their attentions was paid to the
camp chair and camp beds that are
there. The handy and comfortable ar
ticles were praised and discussed.
Upon one thing concerning the beds
Chairman Carleton and Adjutant Gen
eral Richards, who were two of the
party, agreed that they were all right
for summer use, but for cold weather
they were not in it with the bough bed.
The Dough bed with one blanket over
it and a plenty over the sleeper. will
keep the man perfectly warm, as not
enough draught can pass under the
body to cause any harm. With the
canvas camp bed though, there is too
much chance for a draught, if there
is any at all, and not SO liable to be
warm.

loid Manufacturing Company, at Ash

NAVAL CHAPLAIN'S TRIAL
Rev. Joseph P. Mcintyre, OF the
Oregon, in Trouble.
C0URT-MARTIAL EXPECTED
The Big BnttIeship's Pastor Declin-
ed to Retract Statements Made Mt
Denver That SIMPSONS Flagship
Was More Than Four Miles Dis
taut When Cervern Surrendercd-

For the first time in the history of the
American Navy one of it's chaplains is
about TO be court-martialed.
The action is a most unusual one, and
so far as naval officials of the old school,
now in Washington, can recall, it is with
out precedent, not only in our own navy.
but those of other great countries.
The accused in the present and only
known instance is Chaplain Mcintyre. of
the great battleship Oregon. and while
the proceedings are regarded as extraor-
binary the opinion prevails that they will
be pressed.
The circumstances that have caused
the Department to consider a court-mar-
tial necessary for Chaplain Mcintyre, oc-
CURED in Denver, Col. when during
public lecture he boldly asserted that the
Oregon did the bulk of the fighting in the
engagement with Cervera's fleet, and
that Admiral Sampson on the New York
was not within four miles of the Cristo-
bal Colon when she surrendered.
No fault is found with him for claim
ing that the Oregon did the whole of the
fighting at Santiago, but his statements
that Admiral Sampson hurried from
Guantanamo TO secure part of the prize
money; that the Oregon met the Iowa
with Fighting Bob going To the rear 10
get out of the fight, and that the Union
Iron Works. of San Francisco, were not
given more contracts for political rea-
sons, are considered detrimental to the
service and unbecoming an officer in the
navy
Chaplain Mcintyre has been given an
opportunity to justify himself but has
failed 10 do so.

The new camp of the District Regiment
is not much less of a prison than
was the detention camp. The new quar-
tiers are back OF the detention camp and
the roads leading into it pass through
the latter place which is forbidden soil.
Therefore visitors can hardly get into
camp any more than the boys can get
out of it.
Several visitors from Washington yes
terday had to drive all over the point be-
fore they could get into the lines and then
only obtained admission through the
courtesy OF sentry who failed to line
up to his instructions. In order to get
out of camp the boys have a choice be-
tween walking through big salt swamp
on one side or climbing round the cliffs

The worst possible site was chosen for

the way Of everything and everybody.
Gen Shafter passed through the Dis
trict camp yesterday on his way 10 the
artillery camp. His presence was Known
TO the boys but they made no demonstra-
tion.
The boys are taking plenty of solid
comfort out of the pipes and tobacco
sent by The Times. They tell some weird
tales of having paid $50 an ounce for to-
bacco while at Santiago.
Private Howell, OF Company 4, has one
OF the most interesting relics of the war.
1t is the flag Of truce which was raised
by a party of Rough Riders during the
seige of Santiago The flag was fired
upon by the Spaniards and twenty of
our boys killed. The flag is filled with
holes made by Mauser buEe-s-

The boys say they are full Of quinine and

get anything else they have decided 10
remain in quarters rather than accept the
inevitable quiuine.

boys. 1--WE get it for sprains and wounds

CAMP WIKOFE WATER
Colonel Hecker Arrives With
Samples for Analysis.
SECRETARY ALGER'S FRIEND
Claim Is Made That Private Anaiy-
ses Are Not Always to Be Relied
Upon, and Army Officials Seek
Government Inspection of the
Water Given Troops.

Col Hecker, the close personal friend
of Secretary Alger, caused to be brought
to the War Department this morning a
number of bottles, each filled with wa
ter and Theoretically sealed. They are
supposed to contain the contents of well
water furnished the troops at Camp Wi
koff.
The purpose of Col. Hecker in obtaining
this water and bringing it TO Washing
ton is to have it analyzed by Government
chemists.
Chemists not in the employ of the Gov
ernment who have examined this water
from these salf-same bottles have been
a unit in pronouncing it of questionable
quality, and most of them have declared
il unfit for use.
Col. Hecker is charged with the respon-
sibility for the selection of most of the
camps, and. it is said. water may also
be brought from those at Middletown and
Huntsville and Lexington, KY. Camps
Alger and Chickamauga are not named
AS no complaint has been made about
the waters of the camps in Alabama and
Pennsylvania, it is pretty safe to do this
This Governments analysis of water
means one of two things" said suffer-
ing volunteer officer: "either Secretary
Alger wants to protect somebody's negli-
gence. or else he is willing to at least ad-
NIT the truth about the filthy water q
soldiers were compelled to drink, Every
body knows what expert testimony
amounts to in courts, and it is the same
with expert analysists The longest pole
knocks out the best report. This entire
matter suggests that heads of the
army can at last read the handwriting
on the wall They fear an investigation
and are preparing for it
Other army news today is to the effect
that from now on soldiers who are not to
be mustered out at once or within rea-
sonable time are to be sent to camps of
