MORE TROOPS FOR PUERTO RICO
Three Additional Regiments Order
ed to the Island.

Washington, Oct. 3.-The war depart
ment has decided to send more troops to
Puerto Rico. Orders have been issued
directing the Fifth regiment of cavalry,
now at Huntsville, Ala, the Sixth Unit
ed States volunteer infantry, now at
Chickamauga, and the Forty-eighth New
York. now at Fort Adams, TO proceed to
such points in Puerto Rico as may be
desired by the commanding general IN
that island. All troops at Camp Meade
will soon be ordered to points in the
south. Some of them may 60 to Cuba,
but the ma jority will, for the present,
occupy the new camps recently selected
in Georgia and South Carolina.
1t is expected the troops sent to garri-
son Cuba will not remain long, and when
they have seen service for a few months
will return to this country. The same Is
probably true as to Puerto Rico.
1t is also intimated that when the
troops return the volunteers will be given
90 days Through and mustered out. BY
that time congress will have had oppOr-
tunity to determine what shall be done
in regard to garrisoning the new pos
sessions.
This determination is no doubt due
10 the pressure brought by members OF
congress for the mastering out of volun-
teers from their states and districts.

San Francisco. Oct. d The United
States transport Senator has arrived from
Manila via Honolulu. She left Manila 80
days ago. The trip from Honolulu was
very slow, the vessel taking nine days
and IS hours to make the spin. The
Senator had about 80 soldiers ON board,
six of whom are very sick. She was sent
to the government quarantine station at
Angel island and will probably remain
there all day
The Indiana is 80 days out from Ma
Mia, the Ohio 80 days and the Pennsyl-
vania 20 days. 1t is estimated that these
steamers will average seven knots an
hour, which would lengthen out their
voyage to more than 40 days. The Rio
de Janeiro, which has on board about 300
sick soldiers from Manila, left Hong
Kong on September p and will probably
arrive here about the Goth inst. The
Newport is expected here on Sunday. The
Others now on the way will probably ar
rive during the month.

BEFORE TIE COMMISSION
GENERAL WHEELER TEsTIFIES.
He Tells the Committee on the In
VestIgation of the War About the
Santiago Campaign From His
Point of View.

Washington, Oct. 4 - General Joseph
Wheeler was before the war investigating
commission this morning. He told Of the
embarkation from Tampa and landing IN
Cuba; of the engagements with the Gu
bans which they failed 10 keep; OF reports
OF his own illness which he by great Ell
forts overcame: of the battle OF FL Cahey,
and of the magnificent action OF officers
OF high rank in accepting without COM
ment the fortunes OF war.
Speaking of the character OF the roads
the Americans were obliged TO traverse
to reach the point where the American
forces attacked the Spanlards, he SAID
they were narrow but equal to the de-
mands The supplies, he stated, were
sufficient except in few instances ana
those instances were only temporary. lie
eulogized General Shatter.
General Wheeler SAID, in response to a
question, that Cervera's fleet was the OBJ
iective point of the campaign. There was
no reason why the Spanish troops should
not have made a sortie from Santiago,
and he had asked Tolal after the sur
render why he had not attacked. Ioral
replied the failure to do 50 was because
his men were footsore, yet Wheeler could
not accept this explanation, tor the span
ish soldiers were not footsore. Wheeler
opinion was that the Spanish commander
was not able to face the Americans III the
open
Reviewing the campaign, General
Wheeler doubted whether a more effective
plan could have been devised. He thought
nothing was seriously wrong with the
medical department, and the sick were
promptly cared for. Going back to the
camp at Tampa, he said the site was
without objection, and as to supplies,
"there was nothing soldier could COM
plain of.
Returning to the Santiago campaign,
Wheeler said only two regulars reported
a shortage of ations, and the shortage,
which was due to accident, was at once
adjusted. There was, of course, suffering
when the men were in the trenches and
there was much sickness. While they
had full quota OF doctors, he thought i
they had had more the men would have
been better cared ion. He had no per-
sonal knowledge Of any shortage OF med
zeal supplies. Wheeler thought the health
of the regulars was better than that OF
the volunteers because Of the fact that
the regulars are more used TO camping
out. The witness knew OF no case where
tho siaL OF Wounded died from want OF
care by physicians. He heard Of no con
fusion in securing supplies from Tampa.
The generals memory was not distinct as
to complaints from physicians in his COM
mand as to the scarcity OF medical sup
plies, but he thought there were some
such complaints, and in such cases he had
the supplies furnished as soon as possible.
