TO General Brooke. but did not think It
worth while to burden the surgeon general
with a report, as he understood Surgeon
General Sternberg was very much occu-
pied with other matters.
Concerning the interpretation of order
166. for the sixty Communication of rations
derstand that it could be drawn for sick
men in quarters and he did not think II
should be. This was directly opposite to
the testimony of Commissary General
Eagan yesterday.
DIR. MARTIN INDICATED.
Reference was made to the case OF DR..
J. c. p. Martin, who was threatened with
court martial for stating that typhoid
fever was prevalent in Camp Thomas.
Or. Hartsuff said that he mad warned DR..
Martin that he would have TO substanti-
ate mis- statement, or retract II, or be
court martialed.
DR.. Connor-Do you think this was the
right treatment to accord an officer who
was making an official statement of this
sort for tne good of the service?
DIR. HartsuffI don't think any wrong
was done him or intended. He made
authority for 1t.
DR.. Connor-But as ii turned out, DR..
Martin was right and the authorities were
wrong. Is that not so?
DR.. Hartsuff-Yes, sir.
DR.. Connor-And yet this doctor was
threatened with court martial for report
ing a condition of affairs that ought to
nave been as patent to you as TO him?
Colonel Frank Gunther, Fourth artillery,
testified that in Camp Alger the water
supply was inadequate and the drainage
bad.
Typhoid was imported by the Sixth III
inois regiment. At that time there was
no medical staff whatever nor supplies
for the number of men to be cared for.

EXPLOSION N A NINE
At Poteau, |. 7. With Full Re-
suits Yet Unknown.
STORIES DO NOT AGREE
Estimates from Two Dead to
Probably Twenty-Three.

Poteau, T. r, Dec ia few minutes
after 9 O'Clock last night in mine No.
of the Indianalo and pathway Coal COM
pany, situated about three miles from this
place, a terrific explosion took place.
Five men are known to have lost their
lives from the immediate effects and
about SO more are buried in the shaft
The explosion was caused by the igni-
lion Of coal dust after a blast had been
fred 1t was something terrific, and was
very plainly heard in this place. The
timber work of the hoist was blown far
into the air and the shattered remains
Immediately caught fire. Over a hundred
men were at work in the mine at the
time of the explosion. and only one-half
of these have been accounted for. Those
who escaped were employed IN another
part of the mine.
There seems to be little hope of rescuing
the entombed miners, as the explosion lit
orally rent the Eub-ways asunder, and
there are hundreds of tons of earth to
be taken away before they can be
reached.
A hundred men are working valiantly
TO rescue their comrades. They are driv-
en- away at times because of the intense
able that the interior of the mine is also
burning. although at the present time
this cannot be determined. 1t is also i'm
possible to ascertain the names Of those
who have been killed and are buried ia
the mine. The fire lights up the country
for miles around and there are thou
sands of people arriving on the scene.
This is the second time within three
weeks that an explosion mas occurred in
This mine, two men having been killed in
the previous one.
NOT so BAD, AFTER ALL
st. Louis, Mr.. Dec. ia special to the
Post-Dispatch from Fort Smith, Ark, and
one from the Associated Press correspond
ent at that place say that only two men
were killed in the Witteville coal mines
near Poteau, !. T, last night. Both state
that it is believed that they were the on
ly men in the mine at the time of the
explosion.
The men killed were shot firers on the
regular nightly round firing shots. break
ing coal for the next days work The
extent Of the damage cannot now be
learned, for the mouth of the mine is
blocked by a fall of rock loosened> by the
explosion, and the ventilating apparatus
Is so badly damaged that were the en-
trance open it would be impossible TO
enter the mine
1t is not known what caused the expIo-
sion, but it IS thought that a gas fissure
was struck. These mines have been par
ticularly unfortunate. They were worked
by the Kniffin Coal company, which went
INTO bankruptcy, and a new company took
charge. The manager skipped with the
funds, and one month ago an explosion
took place, killing a shot-firer and block
ing the mine 1t is only short time since
the debris was removed and men put to
work again.
