the stay at the camp less than per cent OF
the command was sick. There we're sixty-nne

washington. Oct. 1.-THE War Department
Investigating Commission devoted its morning
eession to-day to the examination of Secretary
alser's statement and the papers furnished by
MIN in reply 10 the Commissions Inquiries The
accompanying papers include the reports from
tho various bureaus Of the War Department, and
cleo letters and kilograms bearing on the con-
duct OF the war
Secretary Alger in his replies to the questions
asked by the Commission gives especial prom-
nence 10 the plan Of campaign and to the
changes that were made in the original plans.
He says that Tampa was chosen as the base
of operations because of It's proximity TO Ha-
vana. where il was originally intended to make
the first attack. The determination TO make a
change was due TO the developments on the
southern coast Of Cuba and TO Cerveras course
IN taking his feet into the bay Of Santiago,
When ii became certain that he was securely
entrapped in the bay Admiral Sampson tele-
eraphed the fact TO the Secretary of the Navy,
asking that troops be sent immediately. He
said that he had silenced the batteries which
were accessible from the sea. and that ten thou
sand men co1ld capture the town within forty
eight hours. The text of this message Is given,
as is also the text Of various other kilograms
showing the cause Of delay in getting the ex-
petition of. this course being, as frequently
published. the report that Spanish warships were
living in wait for the transports.
The report shows that General Miles advised
IN the beginning that the first move should be
made against Porto Rico. and that after that
island was taken the American forces should be
landed on the north coast Of Cuba, at some point
from which they could move conveniently either
10 the east or west
