erations ago and at the time of the civil
war are conditions which have been
outgrown. and a great deal more ought
to be done in the way Of sanitary i'm
provement.
Francis r. Muzzicott, sergeant Sew
enth Illinois. then read a statement
which he had very carefully prepared
in which he said he had no complaints
to make particularly except that he
thought refuse matter was not properly
buried, and that the selling of beer to
the soldiers was deIeterious and had a
bad effect He considered that the food
that was furnished was good, but that
there should have been a greater va
riety and not have been given the same
diet day after day.

SOLDIERS VINO COMPLAIN LITTLE.
DIR. Wines States What He Observed at the
Big CAMPS.


Big Camps.
First Lieutenant Charles McQuiston,
of the Fourth infantry. stationed at
Fort Sheridan, said his regiment had
nc complaint to make. He made refer
ence to his having served as recorder Of
a court of inquiry at MOntaUk, appoint
ed to investigate the conduct of DR.. Ia
Dor, one of the surgeons in the camp
who was charged with having caused
the death OF a sick man by neglect. He
said the court had great difficulty in
finding competent witnesses. Such evil
dence as it could gather vas forwarded
to the war department without recon-
mendation. DR.. Conner here observed
that DR.. Tabor was afterwards dis
missed from the service practically in
disgrace, and he commented upon it as
outrageous in view of the lack Of in
eliminating evidence.
Colonel Edward c. Young. of the First
Illinois cavalry, who was encamped at
Chickamauga from June 1 until Aug.
%, had no particular complaint to make,
except as to the water at Chickamauga.
Colonel Kavanagh. of the Illinois Sew
enth infantry, had very little to say in
the way of criticism. his having been a
particularly fortunate regiment, very
men in all.
DR.. Frederick H. Wines, of Spring
field, Ills. during the war was secretary
of the Illinois Army and Navy league,
an organization formed to look after
the interests and welfare of the Illinois
soldiers in the field. In June a commit
tee appointed by the league, consisting
Of DR.. Wines, Major r. w. McClaughry
and Hartwell Osborne, visited the
camps at Chickamauga, Tampa and
Jacksonville. and in JuIy went to Camp
Alger This committee afterwards Wis
tied Secretary Aiger and filed with him
a written statement briefly detailing
conditions as they found them, also
making some recommendations. DR..
Wines stated that this written report
commended conditions in the camps as
generally satisfactory.
Summed up Dr.W Wines testimony was:
II did not see any evidences of care
lessness. neglect or Incompetence on the
part of those in charge of the hospitals,
but there was difficulty in obtaining
medicines in proper quantity. and COM
plant that special diets-lce. milk, and
similar supplies-could not be secured
I personally observed no case Of a SOL
der in a hospital being ill-treated, al
though many rumors to that effect came
to my notice.
Major Lawrence n. Ennis. OF the
Seventh Illinois, detailed some Of his
experiences at Camp AIger. He said
his men had nothing to complain Of ex-
cept not being sent to the front His
talk was very humorous and kept the
committee laughing Said he: Il found
none OF our men neglected in the hosplt-
ais / believe one of the greatest troU-
bles at Camp Alger was on account of
the sinks" He said that the water at
ChickaInauga was contaminated and
complaint was made of this. which was
caused by the men bathing in the river

of an Important Document.
He denied that Hubbard required sick
men 10 stand at attention when he was
in the hospital and said he was one of
the best qualified men in the service.
General Dodge-There must have been
something wrong, when supplies were
there, yet were not available for the
sick men. The surgeons in command
of the hospitals ought TO have got them
in some way. Did you make report
direct to headquarters?
DR.. Smith, once wrote a report to
the surgeon general. but I think it
never got any further than General
Compton'S office. l was asked by Gen
eraI Compton and Major Jenney to
withdraw il, as it might get me into
disfavor personally, but 1 told them
there was nothing in it that I wished
to withdraw.
General Dodge-when we get back to
Washington we will see if it ever
reached the surgeon generals office.
a copy of this report had been pre-
served by DR.. Smith and was handed
to the commission.
Rev. Charles S. Bullock, chaplain of
the First Illinois cavalry, with rank as
captain, said that in the great ma
jority of cases of complaints of poor
manga such statements were absolute
~ unfounded, as was proved by his
personal observation. He further
stated that the stories published in the
various newspapers about the inhuman
treatment of the soldiers were without
any foundation whatever. and he cited
numerous cases, which he took pains
to investigate.
THAT newspaper story" he said, ''in
which it was stated that men were
known to die with flies crawling in
their mouths, was certainly pure false
hood. I offered S25 to the person who
could point out such a case
Mrs. Trumbull White, of Chicago,
who went to Cuba with Miss Clara Bar
ton on the Texas was the next witness,
but testified to nothing new or impor-
tant. Colonel L. NJ. Smith, purchasing
agent of the United States army sta
toned at Chicago, was called to tell
about the supplies he bought and that
out OF all of it there was official COM
plant made of but eight barrels Of
pork. There was also some testimony
here in regard to corned beef and its
capacity to stay good-favorab BILE to the
beef.
Rev George H. Hoover, a Chicago
clergyman whose son died in the Sec
ond division hospital at Jacksonville,
Fla, Sept. 19, testified that in the hos-
pital there seemed to be a lack of medi-
cine-some OF the simpler medicines.
When any attendant gave him informa-
ton the attendant would add: You
must not give my name or I viii be
subject to punishment" 1t seemed that
there were not enough curses. Some
body was there either Incompetent or
else cruelty neglectful.
General Dodge read from q written
report of Surgeon Major Keene. in
charge Of the Jacksonville hospital, in
which he denied statements made by
Hoover to the effect that ice-bags. hot
water-baGs, etc, were not on hand in
the hospital. In reply to a question
Hoover said they might have beer there
somewhere, but they certainly were not
TO be found while he was there

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid
Increase of Heat Troubles.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For the !
Cause.

Cause.
Heart troubles, at least among
Americans, are certainly increasing
and while this may be largely due to
the excitement and worry of Ameri
can business life, it is more often the
result of weak stomachs, of poor di-
gestion.
Real, organic heart disease is in
durable; but not one case in hun
dred of heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by
branches of the same great nerves,
the sympathetic and pneumoSastric.
In another way, also the heart is
affected by that form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food; there is a
feeling of oppression and heaviness in
the chest caused by pressure of the
distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action;
hence arises Palpitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the
blood, makes it thin and watery,
which irritates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treat for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion
and to insure the prompt assimilation
of food
This can best be done by the regu-
lar use after meals, of some safe.
pleasant and effective digestive prep
aration, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's, which may be found at most
drug stores and which contain valua-
BILE, harmless digestive elements in a
pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular.
persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time Will cure any
form Of stomach trouble except can
Ger of the stomach
Full sized package of the tablets
sold by druggists at so cents.

Emperor Williams sympathy with the
Cars Disarmament Proposals and
the Increase I'm the Army.

Berlin, Dec. 13.-During the course
of the debate on foreign affairs in the
reichstag yesterday. Herr Richter, the
German radical leader, expressed the
opinion that Emperor Williams tour
of the Holy land had left a mixed inn
preston in the minds of the Protest
ants.
Continuing, Herr Richter protested
against the recent explosions from
ncrth Schleswig as being unworthy of
a great people, and expressed the hope
that the negotiations with Great Brit
ain for Il commercial treaty were pro-
crossing well. The radical leader also
said no unnecessary obstacles should
be placed in the way of the importa-
ton of American products. He then
advocated the new army bill, but said
it was of such proportions hat it did
not harmonic with the sympathy ex-
pressed in the speech from the throne
on the subject of the cars disarma-
ment proposals.
In conclusion, Herr, Richter severely
criticised the treatment of the Lippe-
Detmold question, and demanded that
Emperor Williams kilograms should
be countersigned by the responsible
minister.

AS A MEASURE OF PRECAUTION
to Prove a Check Upon Tur-
bulence-"AIways Ready"

Washington. Dec. 1.-THE Brook
Iyn. Texas. Castine and ResOlute have
been ordered to Havana.
While there is not the faiRtest desire
to convey a threat in the dispatch of
these war ships to Havana, it may be
noted that when they lie within the
harbor they will hold the town in per-
feet subsection. 1t is surmised that
the suggestion came from Admiral
Sampson. who is o in one of the
suburbs of Havana. as Il result of the
unfortunate eruption Sunday night at
the Hotel Igletarra. At any rate the
event brought the authorities to Il sud-
len realization of the exact state of af-
fairs N Havana. and the imminent
danger of another such outbreak.
which might perhaps run into the pro-
portions of Il rio and cost many inno-
ccnt lives.
With only Il small force of American
soldiers in Havana province and those
removed at such a distance from the
city as to make it difficult of access
in time to be of service to- the Ameri-
Can element in the city, now swollen
to large proportions by the advent of
many hundreds of commercial men
and others seeking opportunities for
employment. the necessity for some
protection was apparent. To increase
the number of soldiers materially is
not easy. in view of the difficulty of
transporting them as well as providing
for them when they reach Cuba. but
the navy's motto is now Always
ready" and it was decided to hasten
the ships named to Havana to form a
formidable bulwark against any an
aIchistic outbreaks that might occur
before the completion of the Ameri-
can occupation of the city. The Texas
is a fu~ll-fledged armOr clad. and might
stand Il good deal of pounding even
from the heaviest fertilization: the
Brooklyn. with her protective system,
can he rated as even better than the
New York. of the same type: the Cas-
tine is an efficient. though small gun
boat, and the Resolute is a trans
formed merchantmen. with a battery
large enough to make her formidable.

COLD STORAGE PLANTS.
Chicago Packers and Others Will Invest In

Chicago. Dec. 1.-THE Record says:
Chicago packers will spend Il large

Eether they will visit the different
CITIES of Cuba and fix on a location fer
a cold storage plant. just how large
a plant is to be erected by Armour &
Co.. is not definitely decided on yet.
