WITNESSES FOR THE CHAPLAIN
WHAT M'INTYRE SAID AND
WHAT HE DID NOT SAY.
Did Not Say the Government Was
Cheated and Did Not Charge That
Evans Ran Away.

Denver, Sept. S0.-In the court
martial trial OF Rev Joseph P. Nc
Intyre, chaplain Of the battleShio
Oregon, Benjamin H. BayIes of Denver,
4 retired business man, testified that
nothing was said by Chaplain Nc
Intyre to the effect that Captain Evans
took the Iowa to the rear and. kept her
there during the battle. On many
points at issue regarding the wording
of the lecture, the witness, said his
memory was not clear. He remember
ed that the chaplain said at one point
in his description of the battle that the
Oregon in going forward, passed the
Iowa going the other way, but was not
clear what the connection was. He
could not recall what was said about
division of prize money.
John Collins, minister of the Metho-
dist church, testified that Chaplain
Mcintyre said the Oregon was one Of
the best built vessels in the navy. He
stated that the reason western manu-
facturers had not been able to secure
contracts for other vessels was that
the eastern shiobuilders had more in
fiuence with the government Witness
remembered that the chaplain said that
when the Spanish ships came out of
Santiago harbor the Oregon was
farther away than the Iowa. The
Oregon Immediately went into the fight
and passed the Iowa going the other
way. Mr.. Collins could not recoIlect
having heard anything to the effect
that Captain Evans kept the Iowa in
the rear during the battle. The chap
lain's manner in referring to CAPTAIN
Evans as Fighting Bob was partly
humorous and partly exultant. The
chaplain Said,S Witness remembered,
that Admiral Sampson would receive a
much larger share of the prize money
than Captain Clark.
Upon cross examination Mr.. Collins
testified that Chaplain Mcintyre said
something to the effect that the audi
ence, which had as mu Il to do with the
battle as Admiral Sampson. would not
receive cent. He denied that the
chaplain said anything about the gov
ernment being cheated by eastern
shipbuilders. The chaplain expressed
the opinion that the work of eastern
shipbuilders was of an ordinary char
acter, while that done on the Oregon
was extraordinarily good.
AT the conclusion Of Mr.. Collins
testimony. court adjourned for the
day.

GEN. DUFFIELD INDICATED.
shafter Says He Did as Well as Was
Expected

Detroit, Mich. Sept SO.-It has been as
serted in many quarters that General
Shafter in his report to the war depart
ment spoke slightingIy of General H. M.
Duffield and his part in the Santiago cam
paign. Skaters alleged remarks in his
report on the feint of General Duffield' s
brigade at Aguadores are said to have
been the basis of the above mentioned
feeling of slight to Duffield. Today Gen.
eral DufieId received a telegram from
Secretary Alger, which, his friends think.
is vindication by Shafter of the alleged
slight In this telegram Secretary Alger
quotes a message just received from Cen
eral Shafter in which the general says: i.
General Duffield did all that he was ex-
pected to do in a most satisfactory man
ner. In looking over my report l see
that the reference to his action at Aqua
dores was not clearly expressed and it
escaped my notice. There was no inten-
tion that ne should do more than make
such demonstration as would hold the
enemy's troops at that place. To have
attacked il with q view of it's capture
with the force under Duffield would have
been the height of folly"

LEES PLACE IN CUBA.
Should Command American Forces
That Occupy Havana

Washington. Sept. 3O-Major Cen
eral Fftzhush Lee was at the war de-
partnent today If there is no pres
sure for his immediate return to Jack
sonville, he intends. after going to
New York for a short visit, to spend a
few days in the Virginia mountains,
upon the recommendation of his physi-
clan. General Lee has been suffering
somewhat from malaria.
There seems to be no doubt in Of
fetal circles that General Lee is
scheduled to go to Cuba. Some ques-
tion has arisen, however, as to the
post in Cuba that he will occupy. Quite
a number of public men, and it is
probable that General Lee himself,
would prefer that his command go to
Havana. There is some sentiment in
the matter and some persons have eX-
pressed the hope that as Blanco
marches out, General Lee might march
into the city. a number of men in Of
fetal life have already interested them
selves in the subject and will urge the
president TO issue his orders for the
occupation OF Cuba with this end in
view

IYacA;aston, Sept. 3l.-The war inves-
ti.&ciyn .ola57 lission today decided to
-, General Lee to follow General
Y net-ler in giving testimony concern
:ng t8e charges made against the war
department, and suggested Wednesday
&c next week as 2 date when he could
i,e heard. General Wheeler will be be-
forc TIE commission on Tuesday and
viii be iuterrogated about Camp Wi
koff and the Santiago campaign, the
examination concerning Santiago COW
ering especially the facilities for ca~-
ing for, The sick and wounded, and the
precautions taken to preserve the
health of the men in the trenches.
The commissioners state their pur-
pose IA be 10 make q very complete IN
Vestigation of these features of the
Santiago siege, but Vice Chairman
DENLY stated today that the policy of
calling General Miles or Shafter had
not yet been under consideration. The
decision to call General Lee at so early
81 date was reached because he is in
the city and is liable to be soon or
dered to Cuba
The commission today continued its
examination OF letters bearing upon
charges of mismanagement-som call
Ing attention to such charges and 9TH
ers attempting to refute them. Many
IF the letters referred to newspaper re-
ports of abuses, and in most cases let
ters We're sent to the editors in QueS-
ton, asking them for precise informa-
tion.
Among other newspapers considered
was. an editorial article from the
brooklyn Eagle, making various
charges concerning the abuse of sick
soldiers by subordinate officers, and
referring especially to the death of
Lieutenant LaIerty, under the head
ing, Medical Murders; Their Victims
and Their Cause
The secretary was instructed to send
an especially prepared letter to Hon.
St. Clair McElway, the editor of the
Eagle, reading as follows:
Il ain directed by the presiding Of
ficer to ask you whether you have any
facts within your personal knowledge
y upon which you have based the charges
set forth in the article, and whether
you will oblige the commission by fur
nishing it with those facts in complete
and explicit form.
1.-The commission would be glad to
have testimony of a kind that can be
used in this investigation, not only re-
lating to the circumstances attending
the death of Lieutenant Lafferty at
Camp Wikoff, as alleged in the article
under consideration, but also relating
to the other incidents TO which you
make reference. Such testimony is ex-
actly what the commission wants. Will
you oblige this body with what you
have at your disposal, or can obtain,
for the purpose?'
Tooay's letters deal especially with
the conditions at Camp Wikoff. They
relate to the lack of preparation of the
camp before the soldiers were received.
A minister wrote that he had pointed
out the inaccessibility and exposed con-
dition of the location and the poor con-
dition of the water before the place
was selected.
The members Of the commission ex-
press their determination to make a
complete inspection of affairs at that
point, and will visit the place before
completing their work.

CONGRESSMAN BAKER BLIND.
Man Who Defeated William R. Nor
rison Three Times.

rison Three Times.
Chicago, Sept. 3O.-A special to the
Times-Herald from Belleville, Ills,
says: Congressman Baker is blind. At
ter an active career covering half a
century he must travel the remnant of
his road with sightless eyes. At his
age-he is 76-the doctors say there is
no hope of a restoration OF sight This
calamity has not fallen suddenly The
congressman has been failing for some
time. In fact, he has never quite re-
covered from his serious illness of four
years ago. Congressman Baker has
been for years a conspicuous figure in
politics in southern Illinois. He is the
William R. Morrison, so long congress
trict, and more recently chairman of
the interstate commerce commission.
Mr.. Baker whipped Colonel Morrison
three times.
AT the last election, in which Morri-
son was defeated, the tariff was the
great issue, and Colonel Morrison was
such a conspicuous low tariff man that
he was known from one end of the
United States to the other as "Hori-
zontal Bill" Mr.. Baker was prevailed
upon by the Republicans to take an
other nomination against his old op-
ponent. The campaign which followed
is historic in this part of the world Its
like was never seen before or since.
When the ballots were counted Mr.. Ba-
ker was elected, and Colonel Morrison
never again became a candidate for an
elective office

WINNIE DAVIS TITLE.
General Gordon Says the Confederacy
Has But One Daughter.

Reynolds, Ca, Sept. SO.-General
John B. Gordon, commander-in-ehief of
the United Confederate Veterans, was
shown the Associated Press dispatch
from Chicago in which Miss Lucy Hill
claims to have had the title Daughter
of the Confederacy" conferred upon her
by her southern friends since the death
of Miss Winnie Davis, and was asked
if the title could be thus transferred.
He replied with great earnestness:
''Emphatically no. In the very ma
ture of the case no one except Miss
Winnie Davis is entitled to be called
the Daughter of the Confederacy.'
That title was unique and peculiarly
her own, and is very properly TO be
placed upon her tomb. To designate
anyone else by that title would be al
most a sacrilege.
.As with Jefferson Davis passed the
title of president of the confederacy,
so with Miss Winnie has passed that

The only cessation of the fire that is
reported comes from Cottonwood and

have consumed everything that will

On the south side of the Rio Grande
