EAGAN'S REPORT.
Commissary of Subsistence
Tells of His Part in War.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE report of
Charles P. Eagan, commissary of sub
sistence of the army, has been sub
mitted to the secretary of war.
1t shows an expenditure of $6OOS, us
with balance of $2O,222,6S9 to the
credit of the bureau. After stating
the conditions of the commissary de-
partment and its organization for war
with Spain and the expedition to the
Santiago, he says:
"A very serious freight blockade at
and in the neighborhood OF Tampa in
May and June, 1898, was caused by the
celebrity with which the troops and
their supplies were concentrated at that
place in preparation for the invasion
of the island of Cuba. This blockade
was a matter of grave concern to the
subsistence department, and il was only
after the most peremptory orders OF
the commissary general of subsistence
to unload the cars and to hire ware
houses, if necessary, that the officers
of the department on the spot We're
enabled with unfagging zeal and I'M
firing energy to so far eXtricate the
department as to permit the taking by
the fifth army corps when it sailed on
June IA, of a supply of rations suffi-
cient to last the command of $4,000 en-
listed men for four months, and the
sending on June &c, q and rs of further
supplies"
After giving in detail what supplies
were sent to Cuba, Gen. Eagan says:
1T will thus be seen that all due dill
igence was used by the commissary
general of subsistence in placing sub
cfc +I,s. 1,a
troops operating against Santiago.
Upon landing in Cuba, these stores of
the expedition were subject to the or
ders of the general commanding, who
was in paramount control of the mill
itary operations in that quarter"
After quoting a number of official
orders, the general says: st is evident
from the foregoing statements that the
supplies of subsistence stores shipped
for the use of the army in Cuba. have
been at all times in excess Of imme-
date needs. Besides being available
for our own troops, they afforded relief
to the Cuban army and to the desti-
tute population which abandoned the
city of Santiago when preparations for
its destruction had been made, The
official returns from Cuba, showing in
detail the issues made to these several
classes of persons and others eontem-
plated by law, have not yet been re-
ceived, and there is not in this office
any information throwing light on the
subject of provisioning of the trans
ports, which brought the army back
to Montauk Point. further than there
was an abundance of subsistence stores
in Santiago and vicinity"
A considerable portion of the report
is devoted to what was done at Mon
tauk Point. the important features be-
ing published at the time the Fifth
army corps were there.
There are also details of the furnish
ing of supplies at Chickamauga and
other camps, as well as for the Phil
ippines and Porto Rican expeditions.

MARIA TERESA.
Potomac and Vulcan Trying to Draw off
Cruiser From Cat Island.

Washington. Nov. 14-Lieut Com
mander l. Harris, who was in com
mand of the Spanish cruiser Maria Te-
resa at the time of her abandonment,
has been ordered to proceed from
Charleston with the enlisted men,
formerly attached to the Teresa, to the
navy yard at Norfolk. No additional
details were received at the department
today concerning the condition of the
Spanish warship, but it is assumed that
the ships Potomac and Vulcan, which
were sent to her relief, are using their
utmost endeavors to draw her off the
beach at Cat Island into deep water
with view of towing her to the I'm
tied States.
The report that the tide rose and fell
within the wreck, would seem to in
dictate that she is in need of extensive
repairs before she can be made to float
The Vulcan is equipped with all the
tools and machinery for the ordinary re-
pair of ships of war, and unless the
Teresa is damaged to a greater extent
than is believed to be the case, the IA
cilities at hand are sufficient to repair
her and put her in condition to be
towed to a United States port when
the conditions of wind and tide are ia
vorable
turns to the United States, with or
without the Teresa, an investigation
will be instituted to determine the ne
cessity and responsibility for the
abandonment of the Teresa off San
Salvador

The officials Of the patent office
say that they have never been so

whose claims upon Investigation
prove TO have neither novelty nor

all people who investigate, and are
susceptible of conviction by proof,
there can be no doubt that Hos.

the finest tonics and regulators OF
the stomach, liver and bowels IN

There IS more catarrh in this sec
ton of country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon
full. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.

any case it fails to cure. Send for
