An inti resting story is told of the
bullet which struck and come near kill
ing correspondent Edward Marshall in
Cuba. It has heen removed front his
anatomy, and its caliber and character
show. It is said, that it came from an
American gun, and not Irom a Spanish
gun. The truth probably is that Mr.
Marshall was the victim ot some inex
perienced volunteer who had never
handled a gun in his life uutill he joined
the army and had never fired one until
he got into a light in front of Santiago.
There were many such in the volunteer
army. The statement is no disparage
ment of the volunteers. Their lack of
kuowledge of firearms was their misfor
tune, not their fault.

IT WAS A CAPTAINS’ FlOHT.
Elag. Officers Had Little to do With
Cervern’s Defeat.
New York, (lit. II.—Although the
American fleet in the battle ofl' San
tiago on July o obeyed the general or
ders of Rear Admiral Sampson, given
in advance to meet just such an emer
gency. it was essentially a “captain’s
tight.” This is the substance of the re
port of the naval board, which has been
investigating disputed points in the
battle.
Rear Admiral Sampson was not pres
ent and the two orders signalled by
Schley, “Close in” and “Engage the
enemy,” did no good ami were unneces
sary. for the ships already had closed
in nnd were engaging the enemy whet
the orders were run up.
The board finds in a more general
way that each ship in ti e fleet knew
exactly what to do should Cervera come
out, and did it when he actually came
out. Each captain fought his ship on
plans prepared and orders given by
Sampson. The finding of the board are
summarized as follows:
1. The battle was fought and won
n|>on plans prepared by Rear Admiral
Sampson.
2. The directing of the movements
of ships done by Schley during the bat
tie was inconsiderable,
3. That New York had no active
part in the light.
4. The Brooklyn was not engaged at
so close quarters as had been repre
sented by the lirst report. On an aver
age she was two miles away Irom the
enemy.
!i, The brunt of lighting was borne
by the Oregon, Texas and Iowa.
0. The New York was about nine
miles from the Colon when that ship
surrendered and between tour and five
miles from the nearest sister ship en
gaged (from which signal distance is
taken.)
7- The average range of the ships
most engag >d was about a mile and a
half.
The New York, the board finds,did-
nothing to affect the issue of the bat
tle.
At the time of the hottest fighting
(between 10and 10:1 *>ti. m.)the Brook
lyn was in line with the Oregon, but
three-quarters ot a mile farther out
to sea. The Oregon at that time was
pouring fire into the Maria, 'Teresa.
The Oquendo, was about three thou
sand yards distant, with the Texas
and Iowa a half a mile to (he rear of
her.
The issue of the battle, the board
learned, was not affected by any sig
nals that Schley made front the Hag-
ship.
'The Oregon dashed out from the
very beginning of th- engagement and
kept within rage of the enemy until the
fight ended.
'The board was made up of Lieuten
ant Commander Richard Wainwright
of tlie Gloucester, presiding officer;
Lieut. Samuel Cotnly ot the Indiana,
Lieut. Lewis 0 lleiiner of the'Texas,
Lieut. William ll.Schuetze ot the Iowa,
Lieut. Albon C. Hodgson of the Brook
lyn, Lieut. William Allen of the Ore
gon and Lieut. Edward E. Capehart ot
of the New York.
It is announced that Senator Justin
L. Morrill, of Vermont, will resign his
seat in the senate. He is 38 years of
age, instead of 1)8. as some of our ex
changes put it. The venerable Ver
monter has heen in the senate thirty-
two years and served in the house
twelve years, making forty-four years
ot' continuous service in congress. Few
legislators in any country can show a
longer period ot service in a position of
so much usefulness and importance.

Spanish Rule Ceases December First.
President Has Fixed Date for Ameri
cans to Assume Control.
I
Washington, Oct. 11—Instructions
have been sent to the United States
military commission in Cuba fixing
December 1, as the date when Spanish
control over the island must cease.
The commissioners, acting on these
instructions, have notified the Span
iards that all ports arid customs re
ceipts, and the management of muni
cipal affairs will pass into the hands ot
the American military commander in
the island. This order was not intend
ed to work hardship to the Spanish
troops or government, but it was
best to fix a definite time to end the
Spanish rule and to begin operations un
der the United States.
It is probable that the United States
troops will go to Cuba before that
time. By December 1, it is expected
to have troops so stationed that there
will be no need of Spanish troops to
preserve order.
The proclamations that have been is
sued by the president, establishing
custom rates and defining tlie manner
in which Cuban territory shall lie gov
erned will prevail until it becomes ap
parent that new regulations are need
ed.
On October 18, General Brooke will
assume absolute control ot the island of
Porto Rico. It is possible that all tlie
Spanish troops will not have left Porto
Rico at that time. It so, they will be
quartered in barracks until they can
be taken away.
In the language of Secretary Alger,
the United States will be the host, and
the Spaniards the guests alter October
i 18th.
i The United States will not ship the
j remaining troops to Spain at its own
i expense. That was no part of the
| protocol.
| The custom houses, the money re-
j eeived tor customs, and the government
j of the island will pass completely from
j Spanish control on the date set. The
i present custom regulations under the
| proclamation of the president will pre-
I vail.

General Lee’s Testimony.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
General Fitzhugh Lee made a most
excellent consul at Havana. lie was
American to the core during the try
ing times which preceded the t?panish-
American war. He administered the
duties of his office with great tact and
skill and he won the admiration of his
countrymen. His return to the United
States from his Cuban post was marked
with a great ovation. It was repeat
edly stated during the war and alter
that the Seventh corps under Lee was
the best orgunized department in the
army.
General Lee has submitted his testi
mony to the war investigation eomntis-
i sion. His testimony lilts him a notch
I or two in the estimation ot his coun
trymen. He has no complaint what
ever to make of the war department’s
treatment ot his command. General
| Lee doubtless took very good care to
see that none of his men lacked any
thing. Moreover, he took good care
to see that the simple sanitary rules
were observed and that the men were
protected from the climate and Irom
I themselves, lie harbors no resentment
whatever because his command did not
see action. He says that he is perfectly
content with the way in which he was
treated. He brought out a number of
excellent points in his testimony. In
the first place, he thinks that the uni
form should he modified—that the ordi
nary fatigue uniform of the United
States troops is too heavy for comfort
in the southern country. He tLinks
the soldiers should be fed more fruit
and less meat.
The greatest commendation that
could be offered General Lee is that
but 2 per cent of his men were sick,
which conclusively shows that he had
instructed the officers how to care for
the men.
Old fashions in dress may he re
vived, but no old fashioned medicine
can replace Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. For

Scrofula to
Consumption.
Any one predisposed to Scrofula can
never be healthy and vigorous. This
taint in the blood naturally drifts into I
Consumption. Being such adeep-seated ;
blood disease, Swift’s Specific is the i
only known cure for Scrofula, because I
it is the only remedy which can reach
the disease.
Scrofula apneared on the brad of my little
grandchild when only 18 months old. Shortly
after breaking out It spread rapidly all over
her body. The scabs on the gores would peel
off on the slightest touch, and the odor that
would arise made the at
mosphere of the room
Sickening and unbearable.
The disease next attacked
the eyes, and we feared she
would lose her sight. Em
inent phvslclans from the
surrounding country were
consulted, bu t could do
nothing to relieve tho lit
tle innocent, nnd gave it
as their opinion that the
oase was hopeless and Im
possible to save the child’s eyesight. It was
then that we decided to try Swift's Specific.
That medicine at once made a speedy and com
plete cure. She is now a young lady, and has
never had a sign of the disease to return.
Mbs. Rctk Berkelkt,
Satina, Kan.
Scrofula is an obstinate blood disease,
and is beyond the reach of the average
blood medicine. Swift’s Specific
is the only remedy equal to such deep-
seated diseases; it goes down to tne
very foundation and forces out every
taint. It is purely vegetable, and it
the only blood remedy guaranteed to
contain no mercury, potash or other
mineral substance whatever.

ALGER’S STATEMENT TO BOARD,
Washington, Oct. 11 The war in
vestigation commission devoted its
forenoon session today to the examina
tion of Secretary Alger’s statement
and the papers furnished by him in re
ply to the commissioners inquiries.
The accompanying papers include
the reports from the various bureaus
of the war department and also the va
rious letters and telegrams hearing
upon the conduct of the war.
Secretary Alger, in his report, re
plies to the various questions pro
pounded by the commission, but lie
gives especial prominence to the cam-
p lign and to the changes that were
made in the original plan.
lie states that Tantpa was chosen as
the base ot operations because of its
proximity to Havana, at which point it
was originally intended the first attack
should he made. The determination
to make a change was due to the de
velopments on the southern coast ot
Cuba and to Admiral Cervera’s course
in locating his fleet in the bay at San
tiago. When it became certain that
lie was securely entrapped in the bav

The text of this message is given as

grams showing the cause ot delay in
putting the expedition off, this cause
being, as frequently published, the re
port that Spanish warships were lying
in wait for the transports.
Secretary Alger adds that the Span
iards were reinforced after Admiral
Sampson had sent his message. The
report shows that General Miles ad
vised in the beginning that the first
move should be made against Porto
Rico and after that island should he
subjugated that the American forces
should he landed on the north coast of
Cuba, at some point from which they
could move conveniently either to the
east or to the west.
Another reason for locating the.
camps in the south was that the troops
might become acclimated betore being
