graduates in nurse training. There

addition To these schools which have
been established for the negro in pro-
fcssional life, the doors of tho leading
colleges and universities of the North.
East and West. are open to him.
Since 1895 there have been 1886 grad
yates who received diplomas from repu-
table medical colleges, making II total
OF 800. This list does not include the

A SURPRISING. EINDINC

With respect to canned beef. the com
mission will find that the meat was
good and underwent no chemical treat
ment: that in the hot climate of Cuba
the fat melted and gave an unappetiz-
ing appearance to the contents of the
cans, but that they were entirely pala-
table and healthy
Stress Will lie laid upon the failure Of
the major general commanding to call
the attention Of the Secretary of War
to the character of the beef and canned
meat when DR.. DAILY first reported the
discovery of chemicals. and the fact
mat ne did not bring the matter to the
attention or the commission until De-
ccmbcr u. nearly five months after the
alleged discovery was made.
The report will find DR.. Days state
ments unsupported, and the commits
sion vii! indicate that it places 10
credoncc i'll them.
MEDICAL DEPARTMENT..
An insufficient number of inspections
were made by this department; proper
sanitary regulations were not strictly
enforced; delay in some instances in
furnishing medical supplies.
PAY DEPARTMENT..
Administered satisfactorily General
Miles statement that had the troops in
Porto Rico been supplied with money
they would have been able to have pur-
chased supplies is not borne out by
the paymaster general. who shows that
there We're Il half million dollars with
the Porto Rican army.
TO COMMEND THE CAMPAIGN.
No fault will be found with any of
the other departments. General Shaft
ers admission of mistakes will be re-
cited. With respect to the Santiago
campaign. the commission will COM
mend ii, and will find that the Rough
Riders did not fall into an ambuscade
at Las Guasimas. but that the point
had been selected US Il camping ground.
The report will say there was as
much Illness in Porto Rico as there was
m Cuba, and the climatic conditions
were responsible. 1t will be shown
that the Porto Rican campaign was
well conducted.
With respect to Montauk Point. the
commission will say that the War De
partmcnt had no idea of the condition
OF the men returned from Santiago. and
that there was a great deal of confusion
due to the camping there of 1880 men
and large number or animals ius;
before the arrival OF the army from
Santiago.
Only 263 deaths are registered there
40 of which occurred on the transports.
