PARRICH WEAKENS Tho Witness Speaks of nn Improper Man In a Responsible Position But Refuses to Name tho Party to tho Members of the Commission Miss Chadwick Tells of the Devotion of tho Regular Army Soldiers Work of the Lady Volunteers at Camp Wikoff. Now York. Nov. 21. Rcfor.. ilie war Investigating commission today Dr. Louis A. Stlmson, of New York, tesll llod that ho hail made two visits- to Camp Wikoff to investigate the reports of lack of precautions agnlnst an epi demic of typhoid fever. He told of un sanitary conditions he found in the gen eral hospital. The surgeon In charge uf the general hospital told him he rec ognized tho situation but watf unable to obtain the necessary help to carry out his orders. "If I want a thine done," the sur geon told him, "I have to tako a man by the car and make him do it." On Sent. 4 Dr. Stlmson paid he went again to Slontuuk Point to investigate a report that ioldlcrs were starving there. "I found many men," the doctor said, 'whn tola me they had bad nothing to cat for twenty-four hours. Of course there was enough food in tho camp for well men, but there wero a great many men in cuuid who were sick and were not cared for and not In hospitals; I know of forty men In one regiment who were put on a milk diet when there was no milk In camp. Except In the case of the few men In charge and an occa sional robust negro, all tho men In camp wero In very poor condition. I llnd no fault with the physicians who yielded to pressure and permitted the patients to leave before they wero well. 1 criticize the system that permitted Mich a condition of affairs." The pressure came from governors', senators, wives, mother? and sweet hearts. "I think tho whole conception of the camp was wrong. It should have beun called u hospital camp and conducted as a hospital camp entirely. Tho bur den of proof rests upon tho authorities to show why the proper things were not done." NO COStPLAINTS. Miss Julia Halsted Chadwick, one of the women who worked for tho sick at Camp Wlkoff.submltted a written state ment of the condition she found there in the latter part of August and told of the distribution of food and drink to tho Rough Riders, negro cavalry and Eighth and Twenty-second infantry. Miss Chadwick told of the inelllclent supply of bodclothlng and underclothes. She heard that there was plenty of both in store, but she knewjsthc soldiers did not have them. Some of the men told her they tried to buy clothes, but they bad no money. "Did you hear any complaints from the regular soldiers?" "No, they would not complain, but any one could see they wero suffering. I would ask them If there was not something we could do for them and they always replied, 'Oh, we're all right. We'll gut along all right. Don't trouble about us.' Still I know thoso men really lacked necessaries, not to speak of comforts." Miss Chadwick told of men too sick to stand, who left tho hospitals at camp and were found delirious on tho trains' and at the railway stations. Replying to a question as to the sym pathy that prevailed between olllcers and men, Miss Chadwick said: "Among the olllcers and men of tho regular army I saw the most beautiful and noble devotion. An officer who looked as ill as any of his men, came up to our carriage and thanked us for our kindness to bin men. 'You know.' he said, 'we regulars have no friends.' I replied that tho whole nation were their friends, nnd he burst Into tears and walked away." Miss Chadwick told at length of the work done and attempted nt Camp Wikoff by the volunteer visiting wo men. "Could the L'nlted Stntcs have done what you ladles did so willingly and bravely?" "Why certainly the government could have done all we did." "How?" "I cannot say how, but the resour ces of the United States are sureiy equal to caring for its sick nnd Issuing food nnd clothing to those soldiers who were without. Thnt is all we did." Dr. Connor asked Slls Chadwick If the condition of the sick was not mode worse by the crowd of visitors constantly at tho camp. COULD NOT KAT RATIONS. "No, most decidedly not." she re plied. "The Infantry would have, btorved but for the food we gave them. They were, tho majority of them, In very poor heilth and could not oat the regular army rations." General Dodge complimented Miss Chadwick on the work done by tho women of New York and said tho en tire country wns grateful to them. Samuel L. Pnrrich, a lawyer of this city, who spent tho summer at South ampton and (sited Cninp Wikoff nv end times, told of tho conditions as ho saw Mom and sold that on Sept. 2 there were m offleera and mon sick of tho .'.25 of tho Seventh regiment anil there was no hospital accommodation fir them. General Wheeler took no tlon nt once when Mr Parrlch report ed to him. Replying to General Reav erMr.Piirrlohsnld that the great draw back to the camp was tho lack of one uctlvo, continuous, Intelligent, direct ing mind. Pverybody In authority did his bast, hut thpr" nf too many changes. Ono day General Wheeler was In charge. When he became fa miliar with tho conditions he went nwny. General Shnfter succeeded him unit aenernl Rates succeeded General Shafter and he again was now to what was going on. General Reaver asked If there wero many complaints. "Indeed, no. There never was a more uncomplaining man than tho American soldier. I saw disgraceful conditions but heard no complaints. If President McKlnley had put him self In my bunds I could have shown him some things that would have shocked him. Ho saw none of them. Hi was permitted to make only a par ude Inspection." Mr. Parrlch said he assisted Colonel Goddard, of Providence, R. I., who with his steamboat, the St. Lawrence, took two consignments of Invalids to Providence. As General Shatter was leaving camp, Mr. Parrlch said he asked him: "Why Is it we can't move some of these sick men from quarters, as you have no hospital accommodations for them?" THE WIRES CONGESTED. "I would like to let you have the men," Generic Shatter replied, "and have wired to Washington, but tho wires are congested, and I cannot get any reply." "I said," continued Mr. Parrlch, "If we don't get these men away irom here many of them will die, nnd then It will be a bad thing for tho Republi can party at the next election." "I don't care about tho politics," the general replied, "but I'd like to help tho sick man. I guess I'll take tho re sponsibility nnd let you take fifty men if Colonel Goddard can carry so many In his boat." "Did you take the men?" "General Shatter gave mo n written order and we took two consignments of fifty each." "All the trouble and suffering at the camp," Mr. Parrlch declared In sum ming up his views, "was due to a lack of foresight and tho neglect of some one. I cannot say who Is responsible for tho conditions that prevailed, but I can testify that very undesirable conditions did prevail." "Did you see any ollicer of the army or doctor neglecting his duty In any way?" asked General McCook. REFUSED TO TESTIFY. "General, that Is a hard question, because If you had the power of pun ishment for contempt I would have to answer nnd that Is tho trouble with this commission, a man does not feel he is protected, because everything he says Is really volunteer testimony." Colonel Sexton lnterrupteu by say ing: "Rut you don't need any protec tion, you're a private citizen." "Yes, I know," replied tho witness, "but I know a case where I think a man was" a most Improper man to have a responsible position, and yet I would not like to say so." "You, yourself," aid Dr. Conner, "are acquainted with the facts. The coun try Is complaining of tho government and certain olllcers of the government, and particularly that tho medical de partment of the government had not been doing its duty. Do you therefore think It fair to decline to give us facts?" "There are hundreds of olllcers who would be delighted to tell you what they know," replied the witness, "if they could protect themselves after stating what they had to tell." "You are the fln't man who has said that to this committee," exclaimed Dr. Conner angrily, "that you decline to give Information because you are not compelled to give it." After a considerable discussion on these lines tho witness still continued to decline, which led General Reaver to say: "If there are other gentlemen like you who want to testify before a con gressional committee, with a trio to Washington, they may have an oppor tunity to do so. It would bo better for you to testify to us now." There were no other witnesses pres ent when Mr. Parrlch concluded his testimony nnd tho examination was ad journed until tomorrow morning, when Colonel A. S. Kimball, of the quarter master's department here, will appear. An Invitation was sent to Colonel Theo doro Roosevelt to appear before tho commission. No time has been fixed for his examination, but It Is thought he will testify tomorrow. SUSIE GRAHAM IN JAIL. The Young Woman Implicated in tho Pepper Murder Will Also Be Tried.

Philadelphia, Nov. 21. Thu stato Su perlors court today granted a new trial to Rev. Dr. Silas C. Swallow, the "Hon est Government" nnd Prohibition can didate for governor at the recent elec tion, in tho criminal libel action brought ngalnst him by John C. Delaney, state superintendent of public buildings nnd grounds. Dr. Swallow, In his paper, tho Pennsylvania Methodist, had accused Delaney of corruption nnd malfeasance In olllco In connection with the pur chase of material nnd supplies for tho use of the Ptnte legislature, after the burning of tho capltol. At tho trial Dr. Swallow was convicted and sentenced to pay a tine of $500. Judge Smith, who delivers tho opin ion of tho Superior court, reversing this verdict and sentence, nays the defend ant had been convicted of a libel on the superintendent of grounds and build ings, and the state olllcers who are by law commissioners of public grounds nnd buildings in their olllclal character as such. Tho alleged libel was con tained In an article published In a news paper of which tho defendant was edi tor. In defence It Is contended that this publication "does not libel or charge any criminal act on the part of any of the Individuals alleged to have been libelled;" that the Indictment "does not charge any Indictable offence" nnd Is also defective In setting forth the al leged libel: nnd further, that the publi cation relates to the oflielal conduct of olllcers or men In public capacity and was not maliciously or negligently made, and Is therefore privileged under the constitutional provision on the sub ject. DR. SWALLOW IS HAPPY. Hnrrlsburg, Nov. 21.

Tho war de partment has found that It Is Imprac ticable to occupy Clenfuegos before the first of January and Major Gen eral Wilson commanding the First corps, which was designated to occupy Clenfuegos, has been directed to make such disposition of the troops that were about to sail as, In his Judgment, will best servo the Interests of the army. A short time ago a brigade un der command of General Snyder was ordered to bo placed In readiness for Immediate service and occupation at Clenfuegos. Since that time It has been found that there are now 19,000 Spanish troops at Clenfuegos and that more Spanish troops are to be sent there so thnt the Spanish garrison cannot bo removed In time for occu pancy by tho American troops on or about Dec. 1. Tills was the date or iginally llxed when General Snyder should go to Clenfuegos.

No ships for transports have been assem bled at Savannah, and no orders have been Issued for the quartermaster's de partment to send transports to south ern points for the embarkation of troops to Cuba.

"Will you remain In the city until It Is called?" "That Is more than I can say; but you may rest assured that I will bo here when the time comes." Senator Quay refused to discuss the matter any further. He said he was in the hands of his lawyers, and that they could do all tho talking they wanted to. A. S. I.

Thu new proposition, with Its collat-' erals, was embodied toward the end of the American memorandum, which filled thirty typewritten sheets. Only this part was read In the joint session, tho memorandum being then delivered to the Spaniards for translation by their own staff. Spain's proposition to Invoke the offices of a third power to construe tho words 'control, disposition and govern ment of tho Philippines" was rejected by the American commissioners on the ground that the diction of the third nrtlcle of the protocol, dealing with thn Philippines?, Is so broad and clear as to afford no justification for arbitration ns between the parties to the agreement. LIBERAL TERSIS. An analysis of the American mem orandum shows that all other sugges tions und considerations in It bingo upon treaty cession, nt tho amount named by tho United States and with in one week. In the event of cession Spain may enjoy for a term of twelve years lights of commerce In the Phil ippines equal to thoso ot the United States. If the United States acquire the Islands by conquest, Spain may not enjoy such rights. Should Spain refuse cession sho would remain llnble for indemnity claims, national und individual, slneo the outbreak of tho last Cuban Insur rection. Should she refuse, sho would nlso lose, prob.i.ly, as further Indemn ity for tho expense of conquest, ono of the Carolines, which sho may not now sell; and other cable privileges within Spanish jurisdiction might bo taken by the l'nlted States without any return to Spain for them. This evening tho Spaniards, doubt less, do not know whether they will accept or reject the American terms. They ure telegraphing tho substance of the American memorandum to Madrid and they expect to reply at Wednes day's meeting. Possibly they may conclude that be cause ono money offer is mnde anoth er and a larger offer may follow pres sure upon the American commission ers. Hut If this be their expectation It will not be realized. The American lerms. submitted nlmost at the closo ot eight weeks of patient hearing nnd painstaking argument, aro a practical ultimatum.
