THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY. DECEMBER 10, 1898. 2 CONCERNING THE ' WAR TRANSPORTS TESTIMONY DEl'ORE THE WAB INQUIRY COMMISSION. Combined to Force Government Con tract for Transportation of Span ish Prisoners Asked for About $1,000,000 More Than the Sum for Which the Work Was Per formedTestimony of Colonel Hecker Before the War Commis sion Abuer McKlnley's Connec tion with Contracts. Washington, Dec. t. The transpor tation to Spain by the United States it the Spanish prisoners sttrrendersd U Santiago, was the subject taken up iy the war Investigating commission today, and Colonel Heritor, who made the contract for tlK United States, was recalled to testify. Colonel Hecker Fuld that New York j-lilpplng concerns bud formed n com bination which would have caused an outlay of ,".1,400,000, while the actual outlay made was $.".13,000. The lowest bid was from a I'hlludelphla Junlc deal er, who. however, had no vlnlblo means uf executing the contract, and admit ted his own doubt as to sotting huIU cletit bond. The PMIndelphlan pro tected n 5311151 not being a war Jed the loiitract on the ground that he had "a charted to mnk some money out of It." The most feasible bidder was the Span ish Trnnatlnntlca company. That company, unlll; the othPts. ottered to tclleve the United States government, of I'll medical attendance, ami finally, on t! e government's representations, the company agreed to reduce Its Us ui es bv about $180,000. "What Induced the government to send those people to Spain'."' was ask ed. "Don't knew. The terms of surren der provided lor It." Colon 1 HecUor rand a long statement Elgncd by William K. Hyan detailing the alleged methods of the transporta tion bureau In connection with the at tempted sale of certain ships to the government. He said ho did 'not know llynu. Several members of th' com mission said they would be glad to summon Ryan If he could be found. Asked If lej was eer approached by Aimer McKll.ley relative to tile pur chase of ships. Colonel Hecker replied: "Never but once. He spoke to me once about a water barge for which there was no use at the time and 1 bo In formed him. I never bad any other communication from him either direct ly or Indirectly." . "What part did the firm of which Abner MeKlnley Is a member, play in the sale of ships?" asked ex-Clovernor Woodbury. "None at all as to the army," replied Colonel Hecker. "I do not know as to the navy." Asked as to Ryan's charge that there was a subordinate in Colonel 1 lecher's olllee who exercised much Influence and could be approached, Colonel Hecker replied that the nego tiation: were conducted directly and that no subordinate In the oillco could have eNcrclsed any Influence. That was the llrtL direct cbarae of corrup tion he had seen .igaln&t himself, as lie considered hiniolf responsible for what went or. In his oflice. He should, ha said, like to bo confronted with Hyan. Surgeon A. K. Appell, the next wit ness, was examined as to the camp sito and division hospltil tit Jlitiml, Fla. He did not think Miami was a good place foi a camp, but knew noth ing about tl.e reason? for its selection. Tiie equipment of the hospital there was good, but at times the water sup ply wr.s Insufllcient. Witness said he had requested Dr. Kent to send some lied C'osh nurses for service with the typhoid patients, but before they ar rived he hail been Instructed by Chief Surgeon Moss not to accept them. Asked as to the conditions at Mon tauk, Dr. Appell ald that they were generally satisfactory. He found that there was much unfounded complaint. He cited the case of Mrs. Arnold, a prominent New Vcik womnn.who com plained of tile neglect of soldiers at Liollovue. Mi n ported to him that two soldier there were treated badly had been struck hv their nurses and de-dred to g-t awny. He investigated and found the soldiers perfectly satls lled and oppi ceil to being lemoved. Reverting again to the camp at Mi ami, Dr. Apnell said that the news papers leported i-corrs of deaths a day. As a matter of fact, In July, out of a eamp of 7,010 men there wire only twelve deaths.

Mh (vi'ir i 'mrf m the Atlas flour mill of Milwaukee, stat ed that ho expected the blp flour com bination would bo In operation shortly, The combination will have a capital ization of $30,000,000. A syndicate of English nnd American capitalists has been negotiating with the owners of the mills looking to the formation of a trust for some time past. Mr. Stem said that the Atlas flour mills would bo included In the new organization. DUN'S REVIEW OP TRADE. The Meeting of Congress Causes no Uneasiness. New York, Dec. 3. It. O. Dun & Co.'s weekly review cf trade will say tomorrow: The most significant thing this week has been the entire absence of tho customary nervous fright before or nftcr tho meeting of congress, the president's message nnd the treasury's report. No one showed tho least alarm and nobody could find occasion for any. Money nnd stock and grain mar kets moved on exactly as if the gov ernment wero nulomatlo, certain to do or say mor? than the people had al ready decided or expected, and so the gradual betterment since October con tinues. There Is a larger demand for products in nearly all tho great In dustries, larger export demand for for eign needs, a more healthy domestic demand since geasonablo weather or rlved and a comforting conviction that November business, the biggest ever done In this country, In any one month, was but n step toward something bet ter Kxpoits last year In December were marvellous, but this year are starting far ahead. The Atlantic wheat ex ports, flour Included, have been for tho week G,G.'3,76" bushels against 4,312, 137 bushels last year, and Pacific ex ports 5r.6,523 bushels c.galiiBt 973.0S3 bushels last year, and prices have de clined -i cents for cash, but western reelpts of 10,135,159 bushels against C,-,13,171 from last year's great crop stops argument. The wheat does not come out at low prices of the people havo less to sell than last year at 20 cents more per bushel. The corn ex ports were 4.JS1.981 against 3,312,0SC last year, and such foreign demand at) prices much higher than last year.and with wheat cheaper, Is proof of a state of things abroad, which Americans hardly appreciate. The price declined wily ftuarter with enormous receipts. Cotton shared In the export move ment fully, and nevertheless has risen 3-1G In price, with a feeling that esti mates of yield may have been exces sive. At the extremely low price yet quoted, foreign buyers do not stop to calculate commercial and mill stock3 on hand. The consumption in this country is not very large, but little changed by tiouble about wages at the south, though more by voluntary cur tailment in New England, but the de mand for goods Is better and his lifted the price of print cloths H. and of some other goods a shade, Woolen goods have been In much bet ter demand, and many of the smaller mills have been buying nfter conces sions secured by the larger. The much broader market is more healthy and promises far more for the Industry, and sales of 10,65.",200 pounds In two weeks past at the three ohltf markets, agilnst 10,852,700 pounds In the same weeks of 1S&2, ai (tite In lino with demand In prosperous years. Prices yielded about Vs cent In November, ac cording to 100 quotations' by Coates Prothers and from Philadelphia dis patches appear tr be about a cent lower this veek. This week's failures have been 24S In the United States against 212 last year and 22 In Canada against 29 last year. IN THE PLAY HOUSES. "The Old Homestead."
