The American Company's Canal Con-
cession Is still Valid.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.
Managua, Nicaragua, Oct. 1.-The
contention of the American company
regarding its canal concession from the
government of Nicaragua is sustained.
A commission consisting of Supreme
Court Judge Bonival Bonilla, ex-Su-
preme Court Judges Aguillar and Silva
and Pedro Gonzales. a lawyer, met
here on Sept. %. by order Of President
Zelaya. to give an opinion on the ques-
ton: What date does the concession
to construct the canal across Nicara-
qua expire?"
The concession. ratified by the Mica
raguan congress on April 20, 1887, was
granted by the N~icaraguan government
10 the Maritime Canal company of
Nicaragua. chartered by the United
States government.
The commissioners We're asked to
keep their decision secret from every
one except President Zelaya n the
cabinet ministers. but II leaked out.
The commissioners decided, IL is said.
that the contract expires on Oct. 20.
1899.
This accords with an official act OF
Oct. s. 1889. declaring that the 10 years
in which the company bound itself to
complete the canal-the Cardenas-
Menocal concession-began Oct. 20. 1889.
That act was signed and agreed off,
cially by the Nicaraguan minister OF

Big Steamers Can Now Go 5OO Miles Up
River.
Washington, Oct. 22.-The discovery
of 200 miles of additional territory of
the United States On the Alaskan coast
and Of a new channel for Yukon-bound
vessels, which will minimize the dis
lance, time and danger, Is officially re-
ported to Superintendent Pritchett Of
the coast and geodetic survey by John
+. Pratt, assistant in charge Of the TX
petition which has been working In
these waters. What the expansion OF
mileage Of our Alaskan territory is due
to is not known. The opinion Is IL is
due to previous inaccurate charts. the
present being the first regular n re-
liable survey of the region. The ind
ing Of the new channel will effect a
saving OF about 400 or 500 miles in
reaching the Yukon. The new channel
just found In the "Kuslivak." which
will carry eight feet over the bar at
low water and will permit ships Of
moderate draught to proceed directly
into the Yukon from the south and con-
tinue up the river 400 or 600 miles to a
safe landing before trans-shipping to
smaller boats. which will go the re-
mainder of the way up the river. The
party. which has just completed its la
Dor. Is at Seattle. where the survey
maintains a branch office. 1t consisted
of about so men, under six officers of
the survey. The information obtained
will be embodied In a chart. which will
be ready for the use Of navigators in
time for the first parties going up next
spring. The same party will return to
work mex spring to complete the sur
veys. and the channel will be buoyed as
soon as possible.

HEARD NO COMPLAINTS

sion at Admission.
SHORTAGE IN CLOTHING
But That Existed Only for q Snort Time
Chickamauga Not . Good site for
o Permanent Camp-Nursss
Incompetent.

Admission. Ala. Oct. 22.-The war in
vestigating committee began its work
here to-day by making an inspection
of the site of Camp Ship in the fore
noon and then devoting the afternoon
to questioning General Frank. COM
handing officer Of the camp. and his
chief surgeon. Major Henry r. Hoyt-
Both were Identified with Camp Thomas
at C~hickamauga.
General Frank said he considered
Chickamauga a good site for a tempo
rary camp. but not for a permanent
camp for a large army. The chief DIFF
hculty was In putting sinks down deep
enough. He thought the camp should
have been moved as early az July. He
said he had heard no complaints from
the men In regard to the food while at
Chickamauga. but because OF the ne
cessity of getting the First corps ready
for foreign service there was a short
age in clothing for a time. There was
for a time also dificulty in securing
hospital room for the men when sick
ness began to increase, but this de-
ficiency was soon remedied. There has
been a constant improvement In the
command since its removal to Admission
early In September and General Frank
tnOugnt n Improvement was que 10
the change Of site.
Reverting to Chickamauga, he said
| the hospital tents were not fioored when
he went to the camp early in July,
though there had been sufficient time
to have furnished flooring for the en-
tire camp. General FRANK said that his
corps commander had never made an
inspection of the camp with reference
to sinks. drains, etc.
DIR. Hoyt was also examined. and espe-
cially with reference TO Camp Thomas.
He aid the increase in sickness above
the normal had begun about the middle
| of July and had increased rapidly from
that time forward until there were $50
patients in the first division hospital
on the LIST of August. At this time Ii
was impossible to receive new patients
for a period of "A hours. The Increase
in disease had begun with the rainy
season, and he thought much of the ma
laria had been due to the fact that the
men were compelled to sleep on the
ground. He attributed the increase in
typhoid to the sinks. to the fact that
the wells were infected and to the care
lessness of the men. DIR. Hoyt ex-
pressed the opinion that the surgeons
in the division hospital a been com .
petent. The nurses OF the hospitals.
while faithful. were. in most cases., un-
skilled and therefore incompetent.
