FAVORABLE TO WOOD
Report of the Committee Investigate
ing VIII Probably Be.


Washington, Nov. 24-Two sessions
were held to-day by a sub committee
of the Senate Committee. on Military
Affairs, which is investigating the
charges against Gen. Leonard Wood.
nominated by the President to be ma
jor general. An adjournment was ia
ken until Friday at IL O'Clock, when
Maj. j. r. Runcie will be the first
witness.
Opponents to the confirmation of
Gen. Wood openly express the opinion
that the Military Affairs Committee
will report the nomination favorably to
the Senate, but declare that when this
course is taken some charges will be
presented to the Senate which the COM
mittee has excluded from the testi-
mony. From the attitude of senators
opposed to the confirmation of Gen.
Wood, it is certain that a demand will
be made for the appointment of sub
committee to go to Cuba to inquire per-
-sonally into several of the charges.
Maj. Estes G. Rathbone resumed his
testimony to-day in explanation of his
personal charges. He also asked the
committee to subpoena Maj. E. Ladd,
U. S. A., and interrogate him concern
ing the condition of Gen. Woods San
tiago accounts in 1898, when he was
acting as auditor of Cuba.
Brig. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss of the gen.
eral staff was asked for certain infor-
nation he is said to possess concern
ing the charge made by Maj. Rathbone
that Gen. Wood accompanied E. G.
Bellaires from Havana to New York in
1900 with full knowledge that Bellaires
was an ex-convict. Gen. Bliss was
asked also in regard to charges that
presents for Gen. and Mrs. Wood were
admitted to Cuba without payment of

AN INTERNAL MACHINE

the Mine Disaster.

Denver, Col, Nov. PA special to
the Rocky Mountain News from Grip
pie Creek says the coroners inquest in
to the case of the two men killed
in the Vindicator was conluded to-day.
The evidence demonstrated conclu-
sively that the explosion was the re-
suit of a plot to blow up the mine,
but nothing of a definite character de-
veloped to indicate the guilty persons.
The articles found at the scene of the
explosion were put in evidence. They
consisted of part of a stick of giant
powder, similar to that used in the
mine, a piece of wire clippers of a pat
tern not used by the indicator min
ers, some electric wire, and fragments
of a 32-calibre revolver.
Adjt. Gen. Sherman Bell, who was
in Denver, stated that a large amount
of evidence had been secured for the
trial of the men suspected of the out
rage. He said that internal machines
ready to be exploded had been found
in two other mines, and there was
positive evidence that the pot included
five mines.

to-day. The Countess, who was on the
variety stage when she was married,

when he married Kate Walsh she had
a husband, named Cooke, alive.

ess was that the man with whom she
had gone through the ceremony of
marriage, before she marrded the Earl
of Euston, already had a wife living,
so that she was free to marry the
Earl.
