are uneasiness after eating, fits of ner-

HARDSHIPS OF MARINES.
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE OF PORTER'S
MEN IN SAMAR.

Manila. Jan. 2S-General Chaffee curtailed his
trip and returned mere this morning. He says
he found the conditions apparently satisfactory
everywhere except at Samar. where continuous
rain in the last two months has retarded the
campaign, especially against such an elusive
enemy.
The condition of Captain David D. Porter's
marines. who took part in the expedition into
the interior of Samar, is much worse than pre-
viously described. They suffered fearful hard
ships and were without food for several days.
The natives who accompanied the marines al
legged they unable to distinguish the edible
roots, which the marines did not believe. The
anger Of the marines against the natives Is
intense None of the natives returned with the
marines.
The Americans suffered so acutely from star
walton that they ate raw the flesh Of two dogs
When Captain Porter and the first three OF
his men staggered into camp, they were de-
lirious and difficulty was experienced in ascer-
tanning the location of their companions.
Williams, of the 1st Infantry, headed the re-

PREFERS THE NICARAGUA ROUTE.

mittee on Interoceanic Canals to-day. He Is
an old sea captain, and has spent much time in
the coastwise trade Of Central America He
also has had an experience OF several months
in navigating Lake Nicaragua. and has ira
versed the Panama route. He expressed a
strong preference for the Nicaragua route both
account of climate and feasibility One oh
lection raised by him to the Panama route was
on account of the harbOrs. He said that on the
Atlantic end of the proposed line there is no
harbor at all, rendering il necessary for ships
to put to sea in case of storm. while on the
Pacific side sailing ships entering the harhor
invariably find themselves becalmed In that
harbor he said a tow for two miles out was

CHAFFEE DENIES FRICTION.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT NOT TO REPRI-
MAND GENERAL WHEATON

MANI bENEhAL NftEAION-
Washington, Jan. 2s.-At the Cabinet meeting
to-day Secretary Root read a private letter from
General Chaffee which denied the reports of fric-
tion between the military and civil authorities
in the Philippines. and gave an encouraging ac-
count of the situation. His statement con-
sidered gratifying by the President and the
members Of the Cabinet. The discussion in the
Senate yesterday concerning General Wheaton
came up incidentally. and Secretary Root read
General Whea toms record, which showed that
he had enlisted in the volunteer army at the be-
ginning of the Civil War, and after gallant SER
vice had been appointed at the close of the war
to the regular army, in which he had risen
through each successive grade TO the rank Of
major general.
The War Department is not disposed to take
any action respecting General Wheaton's ut
terances. This is because the officials after
studying the Manila dispatch in which General
Wheaton was quoted, satisfied that the de-
bate in the Senate proceeded on an entire mis-
apprehension OF what General Wheaton was
reported TO have said. 1t is found that General
Wheaton did not crticse the Senate or its COM
mittees. and ii is thought at the department
that the Misrepresentation arose from a general
statement in the dispatch attributing such criti-
Cisms to other persons.
