MDP.E SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY
BROUGHT OUT BY WITNESSES.
BHD FOOD AND BSD WATER.
Kansas City Doctor Severely Roasts Army
Surgeons—* Tells a Highly Inter¬
esting Story.
General Dodge, Colonel Sexton and
Dr. Conner, of the war investigating
commission, armed hi Chicago Mon¬
day and immediately began the exami¬
nation of witnesses at the Auditorium
Lotel. A large number of witnesses
were on the list.
Dr. Lewis Schooler, of Des Moines,
la., was the first witness to testify.
From J U n e 7th to July 17th Dr.
Schooler was stationed at Camp Thomas
•as chief surgeon of the Second divis¬
ion, Third corps.
Questioned by Dr. Conner, he said
that during the time he was there the
sanitary condition in tte hospitals
was not very good; that the sinks in
the whole division were bad, owing
principally to the character of the
ground, and the discipline was rather
lax.
“At the opening,” said Dr. Shooler,
“there were practically no facilities
for the care of the sick; we were short
of medicines and had no apparatus by
which the stewards could prepare the
medicines that we had.
“The regimental hospitals, all but
one or two, were poorly supplied with
medicines as division hospitals. Re¬
quisitions were made for more, but
they were generally disapproved at
the camp headquarters.”
Asked to give, in as few words as
possible, his opinion Camp about the gen¬
eral condition at Thomas dur¬
ing the time he was stationed there.
Dr. Schooler said:
Colonel Lee Censured.
“In the first place, the quartermas¬
ter and surgeons could not agree as to
the have. number Colonel of tents Lee that contended we should that j
we were limited to a certain number of
tents, seventeen, I think it was, in the
beginning. We afterwards prevailed
upon him to give us twenty-one. His
contention was that lie could not issue :
tents beyond the prescribed number, j
I think the quartermaster’s depart- |
xnent was largely responsible for the I
great sickness; themedical department :
(that is, the supply department) was
also responsible for somethings. Then
we lacked facilities to make reports
on—did not even have stationery. ”
Water Not Fit to Drink.
In regard to the water supply at the
camp, Dr. Schooler stated that he did
not think any of^tlie surgeons in his
division considered the water fit to
drink. Ann, again', there was not
enough teams at the disposal of the
officers to enable them to bring suffi¬
cient water.
He gave as his opinion that the
radical officers were hampered too
much by officers of higher rank, hut
who had no medical training.
When questioned .** 4° the lack of
the . doctor ,
nurses, said that he thought ,
that, both the nurses as well as the :
officers were overworked.
Food Wag Bad.
who WSfiB* was a brigade surgeon - at Camp
Thomas from July 12 tlx to September
10th, when asked as to the condition
0 i the hospitals, said that there was a
great lack of medicines, only some of :
tie very simplest medicines being on
jywl. “The food which
'd was furnished the
men,’’ sa lie, “I would not want to

HEW REPUBLIC FORMED. 1
Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador Have
Federal Form of Government.
A Washington special says: A oom-
plete transformation of the geography
of Central America occurred, on No¬
vember 1, by the birth of a new re-
public, the United States of Central
America, and the disappearance of the
republic of Nicaragua, Salvador and
Honduras, except as states of the new
union.
Senor Corea, charge d’affaires of
these republics during their transition
stage, has received detailed informa¬
tion of the cbf-uges effected and tho
form of government of the new repub¬
lic. As indicating the dignity and
importance of the United States of
Central America, Mr. Corea points
out that it has a population of about
two million, an area of about 110,000
square miles, a great stretch of sea-
coast on the Atlantic and Pacific, and
the site of the Nicaraguan canal
through which commerce will ulti¬
mately pass from ocean to ocean.
The movement to form the new re-
public began June 20, 1895, when the
three presidents—Zelaya, of Nicara¬
gua; Gutire, of Salvador, and Bonilla,
of Honduras, formed the treaty of
Amapala. This provided for a union
on the foreign affairs of the three
countries and created a diet which
directed these foreign affairs. It did
not amount to a national union, how¬
ever.
The diet therefore recommended
the formation of a general assembly
with twenty delegates from each of
the three countries, to draw up a com¬
plete constitutional union. The as¬
sembly met on June 20 last, the anni¬
versary of the treaty of Amapala.
On August 27 last a constitution for
the new republic was finally drawn up
and signed with due formality.
The constitution provides fer a
president elected for four years by the
direct vote of the people, with a pro¬
vision against immediate re-election.
It is provided for four years, also,that
the three presidents, Zelaya, Guttier-
rez and Bonille, shall not be eligible
at the first election, thus removing all
possibility of influences favorable to
one of the executives. The president
is made the commommander-in-cbief
of the army and navy, and his func¬
tions are much in the line with those
of the president of the United States,
The inauguration of the president
is fixed for March 15th next, and in
the meantime from November 1st the
exeeulive power will be directed by a
council of three selected by the gener-
al assembly, these three being Coro-
net Matuse of Nicaragua, Gallos, of
Salvador, and Ugart, of Honduras,
The presidential election occurs the
first Sunday in December, and at the
same time representatives to the new
house of representatives will be
elected,
The legislative power is given to a
congress of two houses, the senate be¬
ing made up of six senators from each
state, and three from the federal dis¬
trict, while the house of representa¬
tives has one representative for each
thirty thousand inhabitants.
This makes a senate of 21 members,
and a house of about 79 members. The
congress meets next March, the inau¬
guration of the president following on
the 15th.
The federal judiciary provided by
the constitution is patented after the
system of the United States, and in-
deed, throughout the whole constitu-
tion there is a close resemblance to
the system in this country.
The governments of Nicaragua, Sal¬
vador and Honduras become states,
SMSASUttS
affairs of a purely local character, and
have legislatures and direct local af¬
fairs much as the states in this coun¬
try control their local affairs.
ORDERS DISTILLED SPIRITS.
English Government Makes Contract In
Chicago For Abont 3,000 Barrels.
The British government has closed
fl contract in Chicago for the immense
delivery of 125,000 gallons, or about
3 > 000 barre,s > ot distilled ...... . spirits ... at
Montreal. An intimation . was also
given that abont 450,000 more gallons
would in all likelihood be ordered
within about ten days,
The use of the distilled spirits thus
ordered will be in the manufacture of
smokeless powder, of which distilled
spirits is one of the chief ingredients.

MORGAN. GA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1808.
FOR MOVEMENT OF TROOPS TO
ISLAND OF CUBA.
Will FIRST COMPRISE S BRIGADE.
Third Georgia and Eighth Cavalry Will
Bo Taken From the Seventh
Army Corps.
The war department has issued a
general order for the movement of
troops to Cuba.
The first troops will leave about
November 22, and will comprise a
brigade under Brigadier General Car¬
penter. The brigade will be taken
from the Seventh army corps. The
brigade will...be sent to Neuvitas,
Puerto Principe.
Orders were issued Thursday morn¬
ing making the Thqql, Georgia regi¬
ment a part of the brigade of Brigadier
General Carpenter. The headquarters
of the brigade will be at Neuvitas,
which is in the province of Puerto
Principe, on the north coast.
The quartermaster’s department has
been ordered to furnish the Third
Georgia and the Eighth cavalry with
sixty days’ rations at once, and they
will proceed immediately to Savannah,
Ga., embarking on or before Novem¬
ber 23. It is understood that three
transports have been ordered there to
take the regiment off.
The Third Georgia and the Eighth
cavalry will be the first of the troops
to go to Cuba, but they will be rapidly
followed by other commands, for the
president has expressed his intention
of putting fifty thousand soldiers in
the island of Cuba as rapidly as it can
be done. Brigadier General Carpen¬
ter is now at Huntsville and is a man
in whom the president and the officials
of the war department have great re¬
liance.
Neuvitas, being in the north part of
Cuba, is considered a particularly
healthy place. It is not likely that the
troops will arrive at their destination
before the first of December.
It is the intention of the war de¬
partment to have General Lee’s corps
sail about the last of December, and
the greater portion of ' it is to go
to Havana provinco. It is expected
that the transports will enter Havana
harbor about the last of the year, that
on the first of January they will be
able to disembark and march into
Havana wifh a triumphal entry.

tions to our present territory.
STAKC'H WORKS BURN.
Town of Glen Cove, Long Inland, Has a
»100,000 Blaze.
The works of the National Starch
company at Glen Cove, L. I., were
visited by a disastrous fire Thursday,
The volunteer fire departments from
Glen Cove and surrounding places
were unable to check the flames, after
a most heroic fight. The loss will
amount to over $100,000.
EXPLOSION' IS CAPITOL.
Uiiitod States Supreme Court liooiii Badly
Wrecked.
A Washington special nays: An ex¬
plosion and fire at 5:13 o’clock Sunday
afternoon wrecked the court 1
supreme
room and the rooms immediately ad- j
joining itol. it on the main floor of the cap- j
The damage is enormous. The
entire central eastern part of the great
marble pile, from the main floor to
the subterranean basement, is practi¬
cally a mass of ruins.
The force of the explosion was so
heavy that the coping stones on tho
outer walls just east of the point
where the explosion occurred were
bulged out nearly two inches, win-
dows in all parts of the building were
blown out and locked doors were
forced from their binges quite 150 feet
fiom the scene of it.
F ire followed the explosion so
quickly as to be practically simultane-
ous with it. The explosion shook the
immense structure to its foundations
and was heard several squares from
the oapitol. It occurred in a small
room walls tightly inclosed by heavy stone
in the subterranean basement
immediately below the main entrance this!
to the old capitol building. In
room was a 500-light gas meter, which- I
was fed by a four-inch maid. Very
little gas is used in that part of the
building, sion the but at the time of the explo-1
gas had not been turned 1 •
at the meter. The meter itself was
wrecked and the gas pouring from the
main canght fire.
The flames originated from the ex¬
plosion darted up the shaft of tlio ele¬
vator, which had been completely de¬
stroyed by the force of the explosion,
and communicated with the record
room of the supreme court, the office
of the marshal of the court ami the
supreme court library, Before the
flames could bo subdued the priceless
documents in the record room had
been almost totally destroyed and se¬
rious damage had been done in the
marshal’s office and some minor rooms
in the immediate vicinity.
The library of the supreme court,
located immediately below the supreme
courtroom, was badly damaged by fire,
smoke and water, water practically de¬
stroying the great collection of law
reference books. The library contains
about 20,000 volumes, and was used
not only by the justices of the supreme
court, but by members of congress
and lawyers practicing before the su¬
preme court.
Mr. Justice Harlan said that the
library was very valuable. Many of
the works it contained would, he
thought, be difficult to replace.
STRONG POINT FOR SPAIN.
Answer to Americans Regarded a Fine
Legal Document.
A Washington special says: The re-
P°rfs the state department has re-
ceived from the peace commissioners
* n Fa 1 ’’ 8 indicate that that body has
proceeded in exactly the line antici- Fri-1
pated, consequently the action of
da Y was not a disappointment. It was
fuJ^Y missioners expected would that endeavor the Spanish . com-
to make .
better terms than those offered by the '
American commissioners. j
It freely admitted in Washington
that the presentation of the Spanish j
objections ^ admirable to the last in American propo- j j
sa 1vas many respects, i
an( i evidenced the possession of keen
legal talent by the Spanish side. Yet I
the objections and points made were j
not new.
The strongest point made by the !
Spanish side relates to the taking of
Manila two days after the signing of
the protocol in Washington, on which
they base their assumption that the j
United States was not in poasion of
any part of the Philippines outside of 1
the insignificant station at Cavite at
the time hostilities ceased and were
estopped legally from extending our
possession.
But against this contention it can
be shown by the Americans that re-,
gardless of the exact date of the sur-
render of Manila Admiral Dewey,
afloat, lay for two months before the
city, while for most of the time United
.States troops were ashore near the
Spanish positions, and that the town
might have been taken at any moment
during that period. j
The only restraining influence was
a desire to make sure before taking
possession that the lives arid property
of the inhabitants of the city should he :
safe-guarded to the utmost, and in
reality the American forces were as
much in possession of the place then
as now. j

RECLAIMED SPANISH VESSEL NOW
AT BOTTOM OF OCEAN.
WRECKED BT H FURIOUS STORM
Was Being Towed to Norfolk Navy Yard
Front Cuba—The Crew, Consisting
of 114, Were Saved.
The oceau , ,, Merntt P nl . lnto . .
Charleston, S. O., Saturday morning
for supplies. She reported tho loss of
the cruiser Maria Toresa, raised by
Constructor Hobson i eoentlr off San
Salvador > Bahamas, 'November „ 1, in .
the midst of a furious storm,
Tlio cruiser left Cnimanera, Cuba,
on the mornillg of October 30, in tow
for , VT Norfolk She had already , passed
'
Cape Maysi and started northeast
around tho Bahamas. A furious storm,
wflrn { n g 0 f w hich had already been
8ent , out , ’ overtook , , , ller an<1 , 111 . , her C0T "
ditiou she was unable to weather the
gale. The strain opened rents in her
hull which had been patched to enable
her to make the journey and she be-
gan to fill rapidly.
The Merritt took off Captain Harris
and the crew from the sinking ship
and she soon went down. No lives
were lost as far as known. There were
114 of the Teresa’s crew, officers and
men, landed In Charleston, and
while many of them were half-naked
they were as happy and jolly a party
as one could wish to see. There was
an enormous crowd gathered at the
Central wharf when they landed, and
the people of the city did everything
in their power for the shipwrecked
mariners.
Commander I. E. Harris, United
States navy, at once made a full report
to the department of the disaster. The
officers and men remained in Charles¬
ton throughout the day. At 5 o’clock
Saturday afternoon ths entire party
started north.
It is said at the navy department
that provision was made by which the
Teresa could have weathered any or¬
dinary storm. A rough wooden deck
had been nailed over her upper works.
Her hull was then sheathed,and heavy
chains were wound around her so as to
hold her together. Although far from
seaworthy, all that was eT.peeted was
that the cruiser might be kept afloat
until docked in this country. She had
been stripped of all guns and valuables
save the big turret eleven-inch guns
before starting, so that it is believed
there will be no loss on that account.
It is the opinion of the navy de-
partment that the government has
lost, besides the value of the ship her-
self, only the amount of the per diem
of $800 per day through the sinking
of the vessel, because the contract
appears to have required the delivery
by the wrecking company of the vessel
at the navy yard at Norfolk, Va.
The wrecking of the ship, owing to
the engineering difficulties presented,
occupied a good deal of time, so that
while the vessel was raised on Septero-
her 22d, and the work was prosecuted
with vigor.it was not until October 30th
that she was able to start away from
Cairaanora under her own steam bound
for Norfolk. She was accompanied
on tho start by the repair ship Vuloan,
the collier Leonidas and the cruiser
Cincinnati, ships at Cape but Maysi. the latter left the other
During the progress of raising the
ship a great deal of valuable matter
was recovered by the wreckers. Just
what this amounts to is not positively
known, but, it included expensive
guns, torpedoes and much matter of
value. The opinion is expressed that
with what material was raised from
the Teresa and the other ships which
have been operated upon so far, the
navy department will be able to reim-
burse itself fully for the outlay of
$800 per diem to the contractors.
The loss of the ship was a bitter dis-
appointment to the people in Norfolk,
where extensive arrangements had
been made to bring excursions from all
points to the nay yards there to look at
the famous ship, and where the recon-
struction < l tho vessel would have af-
forded at least a year and a half’s
work to a large body of mechanics and
laborers.

was questioned as to whether it was a
fact that the Spanish government had
addressed a note to the powers asking
the latter if they would support Spain
in protesting against “the intentions
of the United States toward the Phil¬

*1 PER YEAR.
BIG BUILDING IN COURSE OF
CONSTRUCTION COLLAPSES.
VICTIMS ARE CRUSHED BT DEBRIS.
Besides Those Killed Eighteen Employes
W ore More or Less Seriously
Injured.
The new five-story Wonderland theft-
building in course of erection at De¬
troit, Mich., collapsed Saturday and
eleven lives were sacrificed. Shortly
before 2 o’clock, while some thirty-
five men were at work in various parts
of the half finished theater, a portion
of the structure, the roof, fell ia with¬
out asocond’s warning. Nearly every
workman was carried down into tlib
theater pit.
The top gallery was crushed down up¬
on the lower gallery, forming a hill¬
side down which slid the broken steel
girders, planks, timbers, brick and
a great quantity of cement from the
roof and carrying along a struggling
company of men into the pit below,
very few of whom escaped injury. The
front wall of tho building remained
practically intact, but the side wall
bulged threateningly.
The work of rescuing the injured
and taking out of tho dead was rushed
with good progress until 5:15, when
the upper portion of the east wall fell,
a shower of bricks striking around the
crowd of laborers, officers and news¬
paper men, extinguishing the tempo¬
rary electric lights and causing a stam¬
pede for tho street. No one of these
struck by the second downfall was
seriously injured.
Mayor Maybury and other city offi¬
cials wero on the scene, and thereupon
decided not to further imperil life in
order to save dead bodies, and work
was suspended until Sunday. When
tho second crash occurred two more
bodies were visible in the debris.
Three more victims were dug from
the ruins Sunday morning, making
the death list, so far, eleven.
All the injured at the hospitals aro
reported on the improve excepting
Edward Fischer, who is expected to
die. A mass meeting of Represent¬
ative citizens was held at noon at the
mayor’s office, and over $1,000 was
subscribed fer the benefit of the fami¬
lies of those who were killed. The
loss of property was estimated for the
first time. It is believed that $20,000
will entirely cover it.
Tho cause of the catastrophe has not
yet been settled. It seems to rest,
liowever, between too much weight on
the roof and faulty steel beams used
in itB construction.
The workers in the building say
that there was no warning given of
the collapse, the first thing heard be¬
ing a crash as the roof fell. The
lower balcony held firm, which doubt¬
less saved the lives of a number of tho
workmen who were under it. The in¬
stant the crash occurred the fire bells
were tolled and the firemen rescued a
number of those who had fallen on
top of the wreckage.

appointed by the president under an
act of congress directing a complete
inquiry into this project, with particu-
lar reference to its practicability and
