here an attempt was made to collect
these accounts but the men refused to
pay them and some of them were de.
tanned on the ship for some time,
many of them stealing ashore, and
sending their baggage by their com.
rades who were more fortunate.
These facts were given to the Times
by P. Hennessy, one of the passen-
gers on the vessel and verified by sew
eral others. Hennessy went to the
Philippines last fall as a government
packer and served until March of ihts
year. He had contract with the
government under which he was to fur
nish transportation and subsistence to
to the place of his enlistment, pro-
vided he served year. But as he
was released upon his own request he
was "given transportation without
subsistence" term which, when ap-
piled to a thirty day voyage, seems
something of contradiction, as the
only way in which a man could make
such a voyage without subsistence
would be in an embalmed state. Hen
messy said:
There was room in the quarters
on the Oopack for only about one-half
of the men. The rest were compell-
ed to sleep in the horse stalls betewen
decks. The galley where our food
was prepared was next to useless. The
vessels furnished us to cook in were
shallow tin pans which in rough
weather were useless. At Nagasaki
our orders were changed and as we
only had khaki suits we suffered a
great deal from the cold. No arrange
ments were made on the boat for
drinking and wash water for the men.
We managed to steal or buy or beg
drinking water from the Chinese cook
and went without washing. This dig
nitary also sold the men at exorbitant
prices, food from the cabin mess.
Those of us who had some money left,
managed to live in this way, but it
was no consolation to those who had
none."-Seattle Times.

Returned Government Employees Grun,-
bIe-Furnished Transportation
Without Subsistence.
The seventy odd discharged SOL
diers and government employees who
returned from Manila recently on the
transport Oopack are very loud and
vigorous in their denunciation of the
alleged carelessness with which the
vessel was managed on the trip and
declare that they were mistreated, ne
elected and allowed to go hungry dur
ing Tie greater portion of the vsy
age.
Among the indignities to which they
were subjected was that of being COM
PEELED to sleep, in horse stalls without
other accommodations than their own
blanket for protection against the cold.
This would not have been a serious
matter had the vessel gone the south
ern route to San Francisco as she
was ordered to do upon her departure
from Manila. But at Nagasaki the
orders were changed and the vessel
directed to come to Seattle and the
route here is colder and consequently
the men suffered The men declare
also that no arrangements were made
for their cleanliness and they were
compelled to make the entire voyage
without more than one or two oppor-
tunities to wash or bathe
TIL food, too, the men declare, was
insufficient in quantity and improper
ly prepared. A civilian cook was
employed to cook for the men during
the voyage, but no proper provisions
were made in the way of utensils for
him to use. Instead of having a reg
ular galley stove where the food could
be properly prepared only small
cook stove was provided with tin
utensils. which, during stormy wcstL
er, could act be used at all. MANI oi
the men were given transportation
without subsistence and expected to
provide for themselves before they
started. Many of them did this. but
some were unable to do so, while
others had their provisions stolen or
provided them in insufficient quantity.
For these the officers dealt out enough
in the way of rations to prevent star
walton, charging the. men with the is-
sue. Upon the arrival Of the ship

THE MEDICAL BOARD
Is AGAIN REVERSED
A Helena Jury Decides That Doctor
Alan is Competent.

The state board of medical examin-
ers was again overruled by verdict of
jury in Judge Clements court yester.
day in the case of DR.. Arthur G. Al
Ian of Butte, and another appeal has
been taken and will shortly follow,
says the Helena Record.
The work of instructing the jury
and arguing the case occupied the

tinued in the afternoon until 3 o'clock

argument for the doctor and delivered
his we'll known philippe against the
medical trust, as he calls the state
board of medical examiners. Harry
D. Moore, the assistant attorney gen.
eral, who has taken up the other side
as friend of the court, expressed his
Joy at finding the colonel on the same
antitrust platform as himself. The
colonel replied in the same strain un-
til politics and medicine became bad
ly mixed, but the jury enjoyed it.
The jury retired at 3:05 and before
4 o'clock returned into court with a
verdict signed by Herman Tom, the
foreman, finding that DR.. Allan was
qualified to practice. Judge Clements
gave judgment reversing the order of
the medical board.

MANILA, March 30.-In company with
Col. Vellia, his chief of staff and DIR.

This morning Aguinaldo was recognized
by crowd of natives going up the
