POINTING THEN OUT.
officers Tell Alger Who are the Gull
ty Parties.

Lexington, KY, Sept. PA promi-
nent gentleman close to the national
administration, as well as the officers
here at Camp Hamilton, says the tour
of inspection of the southern camps by
Secretary AIger, Quartermaster Gen
eral Ludington and Surgeon General
Sternberg will develop numerous charg-
es from regimentaI and general field Of
f1cers against both the medical and
Quartermaster departments, and eSpec-
tally against some commissioners. The
talking was begun here by General
Wales against the quartermasters and
other officers who will add testimony
before the tour is over. Secretary AL
ger stated that all of this information
and all other evidence that could be Sc
cured would be presented to the inveS-
tigation committee at Washington At
the conference of Secretary Alger with
General Breckenridge, the command der
of Camp Hamilton, and other officers,
General Sanger said that while the di-
vision hospital might be good thing,
that as it was conducted it had been a
disgrace to the service; that it had de-
prived the regiments of ther surgeons
and caused hardships on the sick, who
should have had better attention at the
proper time. Surgeon General Stern
berg in reply insisted that all requisi-
tions had been honored in Washington,
and that any medical failing to do their
duty should be reported.
General Wales told Secretary SAIger
that the neglect of some of the officers
to furnish supplies was criminal. While
in Chickamauga he frequently made
acquisitions which were not honored.
An imperative order had been sent to
have all water boiled. He had made a
requisition on Quartermaster General
Lee for water boilers. No attention was
paid to his requisition and he repeatedly
urged Quartermaster General Lee to
send the boilers, telling him how the
men were contracting typhoid fever, he
met with a reply which read:
1.-THE war department does not fur
nish boilers"
General Wales then purcha ased the
boilers himself, but the seeds of typhoid
had been sown and the daily report
showed the list of deaths and of cases
in the hospitals.
Pointing to Quartermaster Ludington
General Wales said:
"These men cannot say it was some
body else's fault. It was the fault of
Quartermaster Lee, and it was the fault
of Ouartermaster Ludington, who is
standing right there
Ludington made no reply to Wales
as Sternberg had done to Sanger.

San Francisco. Sept. 22.-Miss Anna
Rose has won her way into the hearts
of all who have met her, and Frisco
and California people vie with each 9TH
er in showering her with invitations OF
all kinds.
Yesterday afternoon she was driven
through Golden Gate park, and was en-
tertained at the Cliff house. In the
evening Colonel Funston and Lieuten-
ant Hamilton escorted Miss Rose and
party to the theater, and every moment
tin she is to leave Frisco is to be spent
In sight seeing.
Half a score of reporters and artists
have visited Miss Rose, besides repre-

The Hotel Colonial where Miss Rose is
stopping, is the headquarters of the ar
my and navy officers and all are taking
a great interest in her visit to the Unit
ed States. This is the first time she has
been away from the islands, but she is
thoroughly cognizant of the places to
be seen. Miss Rose has many friends
in Frisco whom she met at Honolulu,
and she has been invited to visit San
Jose, Sacramento, San Francisco, Ala
media and other places after her re-
turn.
The corridor of the Colonial hotel is
decorated with American and Hawaiian
flags in her honor, and her suite of
rooms is literally crowded with flowers.
Fruits and flowers are presented to her
in quantities that would do for a regi-
ment Miss Roses gowns are of the
most stylish pattern, and thoroughly up
to date. Her pictures published do not
do her justice.
Miss Roses father was a soldier in
the q. s. army during the Mexican war.

a native He is of German parentage,
but claims no home but Hawaii. I'VE
We're sorry to see our native flag drop

islands. We shall be true blue Americans
and I am glad to visit the main land of
our country. Uncle Sam will find no
more loyal subjects than the Hawaii
ans''
Many people here who did not at first
take much interest in the Hawaiian

they can for Miss Rose, since her arri-

tieth Kansas regiment and band will

to take part in several entertainments.
Today Miss Rose received a telegram
from the Karniva1 Knights, welcom-
ing her to the United States. She feels
proud of the honor she is receiving and
will grace the position of queen in every
way.

tives and friends She opened up the
box Of chocolates and passed them
around. Mrs Deane, her sister, ate sew
eral pieces along with Mrs. Dunzhng and
Mrs Pennington, mother of the murdered
women; Leila Deane, the 14-year-old
daughter of Mrs eDane; Mary Elizabeth
Dunning. Mrs Cummings little girl, and
Misses Ethel M.ll5ngton, Josephine Bate
man and Ethel Clark. the latter three be-
ing friends who had called, each ate one
piece of the candy. All were sitting or
the porch in front Of the Pennington nome
at the time.
Every one who ate of the chocolates
was made sick except Mrs. Dunnlng' 5
daughter, one Of the two persons the
prisoner aimed TO kill. The Misses
Baueman and Wilmington were seriously
i'll. but it is believed that the fact that
they ate sparngly OF the candy saved
their lives
Miss Bateman had a very narrow es-
cape from death. She was on her way
to make a cau elsewhere when she
stopped at the Pennington nome, but de-
clared afterward that had she remained
there ste would have eaten more OF the
chocolates. just to please Mrs. Dunnlng
After she had swallowed the chocolate
she had put in her mouth she noticed
something gritty on her tongue and tee'uh
1t was tasteless and would not dissolve
so she wiped it off with her handkerchief
That powder was white, and it is declared
now that il was arsenic. Has Miss Bate
man swallowed the powder she would
have died. the doctors declare Miss
Milhngton's escape was almost as mar
row. but she succeeded in vomiting the
poison before it ssad time to get at work

Mrs. Pennington said she did not Ike
the chocolate and spit out the piece she
had taken. Harry Pennington was quite
seriously i'll and so was Miss Deane.
But little Lizzie Dunning was helped out
by uck She piADsd out one OF the little
chocolate drops. because 1T had little
white drops or IT. and as tire poison
was only in the pieces of candy that had
been specially prepared by The poisoner.
there was nothing harmful in the choco-
late drops and the little one escaped with
out even being sick.
AS for the others who might nave been
taken sick, Congressman Pennington
father of the two women, was present,
but refused TO eat of the candy and Mr.
Deane came in later, and did not wish
