A Court of Inquiry to Find Out Who
IL to Blame.

The recent cruise of the Newark in cir
Communicating South America is to be made
the subject of an official inquiry by
naval court upon the arrival of that vessel
at San Francisco. 1t will be remembered
that the Newark ran short of coal while
off the southern coast of Chile and was
compelled to seek refuge in an island In
that vicinity and apply to the Chilean au-
thorities for supply Of coal sufficient to
enable the vessel to continue her voyage
to Valparaiso.
The particular question to be determined
by the naval investigation is as to the re-
sponsibilty for this shortage, and the Off
GERS mostly concerned in the determination
of this question are Capt c. H Goodrich,
in command of the vessel, and Lieut.. AL
bert Moritz. who Is In charge of the en-
gineer department of the vessel, and there
fore supposed to be thoroughly informed
as to the condition Of the coal supply.
According to the story told at the Navy
Department. the Newark was supposed to
be fully supplied with coal when she left
Montevideo to make the run around the
Horn to Valparaiso, and consequently did
not stop at Punta Arenas route to re-
inforce her supply. Soon after reaching
the Pacific ocean, however, 1t was discov-
cred that the coal supply was exhausted,
and that the vessel had actually started
with shortage of about 200 tons
1t is to determine the responsibility for
that state of affairs that Acting Secretary
Allen has ordered a court of inquiry to
meet at San Francisco on the 9Th proximo
for the examination Of the officers of the
Newark. The vessel Is expected to arrive
there before that date. The detail for the
court is as follows:
Capt. Charles S. Cotton, commanding the
receiving ship Independence, at Mare ISL
and; Commander F. ]. Drake, ordnance Of
ficer at the navy yard. Mare Island. and
Lieut.. Commander Thomas F. Phelps jr.
now on waiting orders. with Lieut.. Samuel
Strife. attached to the Independence as
judge advocate of the court.

HiRONIC PLAGUE AT ASTRAEHAN.
Duke of Oldenburg Sent to Stricken

ST. PETERSBURG. August 26-Many
evidences point to the fact that the out

plague. Many Of the cases there have ter

The Duke Of Oldenburg, who is president
of a committee formed for combating the
plague, has been sent to Astrakhan. ac

SHANGHAI, August 26.-It is announced
that the number of cases Of buDGnic piag

that seventythree deaths from the disease

The authorities of Shanghai are taking

WAR EXPENDITURES.
No Likelihood of Deficit Before Con-
Grels Meets.


Some misleading statements have recent
" been published about the state of the
public fina noes, with reference especially
to war expenditures. The fact that the
treasury statement under head of war
expenditures showed an expenditure of
;2,.::4 $50 for less than two months of this
fiscal year was urged as evidence that the
sum of SSn,o0D,o00, appropriated by Con-
gress for the military establishment for the
current fiscal year, would be exhausted
even before Congress could meet to pro-
vide Il deficiency appropriation.
The fact is that the term war eXpendi-
lures in the treasury statement refers
not only to the expenditures for the army
for which SSO.SD.4po was provided, but to
the expenses If the entire War Depart
ment, for which about Sl1i,0Oo,GO was
provided. The $220GO.000 expended thus
far in the fiscal year. therefore, does not
represent the expenses of the army. charge
able to the $50, S,b.0JO appropriation. The
sum also includes some payments made
from balances Of last years appropriations
to meet the contracts of that year. 1t
also includes payments for river and har-
Dor work, Fertilization expenditures and
miscellaneous War Department items. for
which items S1.1.oo000o was provided.
The upshot of the matter is that. even
continuing at the present rate of expen-
diture, the War Department should not
have a deficit before Congress meets in
December, and upon that date any further
demands that may be made upon the treas
ury be provided for by that body.

Number of Patients Treated There
Lust Fiscal Year.

The report of DR.. d. Percy Hicklng. visit
ing physician to the Washington Asylum
for the past fiscal year states that during
that period 4.373 patients We're treated. OF
that number 226 died. 81 dying within forty
eight hours after being admitted to the
hospital. The Increase in the number of
patients treated over that of the previous
year was 800. Dr.: Hickling commends DR..
George r. Sorrell, the resident physician,
for his work, and especially during the
outbreak OF smallpox in the Workhouse
last February.
For the first time tabulated statement
gives a complete record of the medical
work done at the hospital. BY arrange
ment with the Emergency Hospital the
Washington Training School for Nurses is
to take charge of the theoretical training
of the pupil nurses of the asylum training
school for nurses. while the Emergency
Hospital will furnish them practical train
ing in acute surgery and in the care Of
private patients.
has been required to take care of larger
number of cases of contagious and
pected cases of diptheria than ever before,
and it stated that there Is constant
liability of outbreaks of contagious dis
eases in the institution, and especially in
the workhouse. DIR. Hickling therefore rec
omnends that a building for the care of
such cases be erected.
For twenty-four days during the past fiS-
cal year three of the wards had more pa
tents than could well be accommodated
therein and two wards were in the same
condition for 122 days, another ward being
overcrowded for 102 days, showing that
for two-thirds of the year the wards con-
tained more patients than there were &C
Communications for therein.
DR.. Hicklirg recommends that the sum
of $4,000 be appropriated for the erection
of suitable hospital building and $4,000
for building wherein contagious diseases
may be treated and cared for. He also
recommends the employment of a registered
pharmacist, who shall take care of the drug
room.

ter and what the latter had said in regard
to Col. Maurel The latter replied:
Il answer with all frankness and all
truth. 1 only listened to the reading Of the

laughter.)
The witness concluded with saying:
That is all, Monsieur lie President I re-

Captain Freystaetter was then requested

tested against the use Of the word ''com-
mentary," which caused laughter.

Capt. Freystatter's Statement.
Addressing Col. Jouaust Captain Frey
staetter said:
MY excuse for my attitude, my colonel,
is my ignorance of the legal regulations.
i u,u no. nnow at all that it was forbidden
to make any communication in the judges
room. (Sensation) Moreover, April 8
last, / wrote to Colonel Maurel, clearly ex-
planning everything / intended to do, when
l learned it was irregular to communicate

Colonel Maurel admitted the truth of his
statement. adding:
Captain Freystaetter referred to doubts
which had been awakened in his mind by
Colonel Henrys forgery. He spoke of the
anguish by which his conscience was tor
tured. l did not reply to Captain Frey
staetter. because l am accustomed to al

In my opinion, every ought to guide

M. Labor requested the judges to note
Freystaetter's statement that the PanZ-
zard telegram of November 2 was COM
municated privately to the judges in 1894:
ard. under these circumsta nces. Gen Mer-
cier having testified that he had given an
order that the telegram should not be COM
municated. and whereas he had also testi.
fled that the order was carried out, counsel
begged the president of the court to ask
Gen. MERCER for explanations concerning
the statement. which entirely contradcted
his evidence. Great sensation.)
