 From a report made by Colonel Wood- ruff 1t appears that he became satisfied that the purchase privileges of commits sary stores in Manila was being abused This induced him to make an investiga- tion and it was found that flour, bacon and other supplies were being sold Tn Manila It was also found that the ra- tions which were not used by the troops were being disposed of and this was at tributed largely to the salts made by the returnig volunteers. Colonel Woodruff also found that Reid had accepted rebates from a cigar dealer and through a naval officer had solicited a percentage from vegetable contractors. Colonel Woodruff also found that there was stealing to a certain extent on the lighters something that was very hard to prevent owing to the conditions prevailing in Manila har- bor and the methods of unloading goods from the transports to the lighters and thence to the shore.
 It is said that the men who engaged in the peculations expected to cover the losses by boards of survey which would report certain losses of stores but fixing no responsibility as there have been ir the cases of such goods to Manila, and their delivery to the troops losses oi which are said to be unavoidable.

DoWIEITES INDICTED.
They Are Blamed for Death of Pa
 tient.

Chicago, May A.-Another coroner's verdict was registered against the follow CTS of Dowie this evening. when the jury which has been listening to the ev- idence in the case of Mrs. Mary Louis Christenden. declared that her death was due to the neglect of the authorities of Dowies church, and urging the State of ficials to investigate the works of the hospital run by Dowie which, it is said, is managed in defiance of the State law. Steps will also be taken to prosecute some of the nurses and "deacons" in charge of the place for practicing medi- cine without license. Mrs. Christenden was burned in her dwelling and so se- verely injured that she died some days later. No medical attention was given her; but evidence was brought out to the effect that the burns had been treat ed with vaseline, and although the Dowieites disclaim against antiseptic precautions, insisting that there Is no such thing as infection, it was admitted today that the bandages used in treat ing the woman had been carefully boiled. The matter of the hospital will be brought before the state board of health.
