General Ludlow explained that on ar riving at Tampa he found General Shatter had turned over the whole mat ter of transpoitatlon und dlsemhaika tlon to Colonel Humphreys, of the quartet master department, nnd Gen eral Ludlow thereupon confined him Holf to studying the problems of de fense In the roads around Santiago, He did, however, buj two large deck scows at Tampa, one of which was lost en route and the other of which did invaluable service at Slboney. Ho alo tried to get steam launches to aid in the landlnir but It vvns Impossible ami he figured that with the assistance of the navy's boats all the force could ba landed in one day. UNEXPECTED ORDKRS. There were ordeis and counteiniand- ing of orders at Tampa, General Lud low explained, and he did not know till "Just prior to the sailing of the Shafter expedition" whether ho wns to go with It or to Pnito Rico. At tho last moment ho lecelved u foimal letter from General Miles announcing that he (Ludlow) was chaiged witli the full responsibility of tho Shafter expedi tions, transportation and disembarka tion, that he was "unrestricted In his orders und expenditures" and woulJ Ixi held to account for tho success1 or falluro of the expedition in theso re spects. General Ludlow thereupon formally disclaimed this full measme of responsibility, expressing his opin ion, however, that the ptepatatlous were adequate. General Ludlow liicmpotates In his statement a report of a rather warm controversy he had with General Miles ut the m my headquarters In Washing ton after the return from Moutauk, In which Genet nl Miles had said that General Ludlow's "fighting at Santiago wns iiood, but his engineering was very bad." General Ludlow said that he refuted this statement at the time, pointing out that ho hnd done all the englneei Ing work that I ho time nnd (ileum stances permitted, that the Santiago expedition was not an engineering cam paign but a race between the physical endurance of the at my and the Cuban nialuiin, and that "If tho utmy had J stopped to build ralliomlti and bridges son gave ins tatner extra wrapping for his feet and as a result both the son's legs were frozen In a few minutes and he was unable to proiced.

Then he lay down In the snow and wns oon lulled Into a last sleep b the duullv frost Charles Khion wanted to He down nnd die when the trip was almost at an end. His c omradet. kept him moving In spite of the pain of his badly frozen feet and at last got him Into Valdez. His toes were so badly frozen that they fell off when his boots wete cut away. Blood poisoning set In soon atttr and in ten davs he was dead. He was a membei of the Manhattan Mining com pany of New York, a Geiman, and leaves a widow and family In that city The thlid man of 'the party to lose his life was a miner named Henderson fiom some small town In Wisconsin. He btatted out with the party but wns frozen before they reached tho summit ot the glacier. He decided his onl hope was to turn bnck. Soon uf ter lie lett the patty a blizzatd swept over the glacier, obliterating nil trails and making travel Impossible. He probably lost his way then and perished. Geoige Pnalowltz. of the Manhattan Mining company, of New Yoik, was the loin th inemb"t to be bidlv frozen. Ho leturned on the Cottage City today In charge' of Dr Lewis, of Chicago. Ho will lose the greater part of both feet anil Is In danger of losing his life fiom blood poisoning. He would not let Dr. Lewis nmputate his feet In the north.

The court was In executive session for n little over an hour nnd In this btief space of time i cached Its con clusions, for it soon became known when the doors weie re-opened that a eidlct had been i cached, or, In mili tary pni lance, that the court-martial had made It" findings. Tho fact was confirmed by the an nouncement fiom the Judge advocate that the tourt had adjourned without day. It can be recalled only to cop ied a fault In the pioceedlngs, which is a rare occurience. Of the nature of the verdict, or findings, nothing Is known positively outside of the mem bei s of the coiut, who are nil under oath to keep the proceedings secret. This secrecy Is maintained for all time by the coiut, but there Is nothing to pi event a leviewlug olllcer from mak ing the matter public, though It Is also the custom for them to refrain until tho last chapter has been written and the conclusion of the coiut Is ready to be ollklnlly promulgated. In the icgular order the flnliugs nnd proceedings must now be carefully gone over by Judge Advocate Davis. He thought It was possible this after noon to conclude his task tomorrow or Monday.

The military administration has had no communications with the Cuban commanders regarding the question of pay but Governor General Brooke is In a position to learn quickly the purposes of any considerable portion of the army. The expectation Is that the Cubuns will accept the .situation, after complaining a little or a good deal, and then disintegrate. Generals Wilson, Davta, Bates and Lee, department governors having been in communication with the gov ern"r general regarding the Pfls-lblllly of the discontented taking to brigand age, and they will know what to do In such an event. That a few small gioups will take to tho woods Is aulte probable, but that the numeious large bands will follow this course Is quite unlikely.

Tho senato continued the consideration of tho peace treaty in executive session to day, the doors being closed for almost three hours. Senutor Fryo, a member; of the Paris peace commission, and naturally a strong friend of the treaty, held tho attention ot the senato dut Ing the greater part of this time. Con structs cly he occupied the lloor during the entire session but he wan frequent ly Interrupted by other senators. Most of these Intetiuptlons camo In tho wav of Questions but Homo of them took the form ot speeches. This was no tably ithe case with Senator Berry'a lntertuptlons. He spoke for some time and In to doing denounced the treaty In seveie terms. Senators Mason and Caftery asked many questions. Senator Frye devoted himself largely to an explanation of the proceedings of the commission, reading liberally from the record us already printed, but stopping as lie proceeded, to explain, the quotations which he made. Ho had not proceeded a great way in his ex position ot the subject when he was asked If the president had not orig inally Instructed ithe commission to only Insist upon securing a coaling sta tion In the Phlllpplno group. To this, Mr. Frye leplled thnt he did not feet at llbertv to give his interpretation of the president's Instructions, but it was not necessaiy that he should do so, as the ptesldent had, he said, determined to comply partially nt least with the senife's request for the documents on .ij" hem ing upon Ibe negotiation for tut- iivuly, and Mi. i-iyo said he felt Justified In assuring1 the senate that tho papers would be received not later than Monday. Mr. Frye devoted the principal por tion of his speeHii, outside of the read ing of the repoit, to an explanation of whv the Philippine archipelago was Ir tiuded in the cession to the United States. He was asked the question why those Islands wero not placed in the same class as Cuba, the sovereign ty over this Island being merely re linquished while in the case of the Philippines It hnd been made over tee the United Slates, and replied that the dllfetence was made because In th case of Cuba the commission was act ing under lnstiuetlons from congress. PURPOSE OF FILIPINOS. He wus lenilnded that tho Filipinos piofessed to bo lighting for freedom Just as the Cubans were and that they weie still contending tor their own in dependence Ono senator lemimled him of the tep. resentatlons of Agulnaldo's Ameiicar, agent, Agnncillo, and neked If he meani to foite the Philippine people to actual hostilities, to which Mr. Fiye retoiteet that it was the opposition which vval foieing a continuance of the state ol war and which would be tesponslbM for hostilities if they should occm. A-f for hlins'elf, however, he did not know the Filipinos transaction. Tho treats should have been tatllled ten days ag and If If had been, ull danger of -nai with the people of the Philippine In lands would havo been avoided. Senator Mafion put the quostlot whethei the comnUsslonets did not know when they made the treaty and whether he did not know that tht natives of those Islands weie then ai now demanding their Independence. Ii tesponse Mr. Tiye lepeated that thl commission hnd dealt with Spain r. gardlng the Filipinos as subjects- o that countiy. Spain had lost in the eonfllct of war and hence tho United Slates had a perfect light according t the law of nations to acquire nnj pail of her possessions or ptople In nd Justing the balances nftep tho war w.it over Senator Beiiy In his speech declare that the acquisition of the Islands wni meitly a speculative scheme contain Ing nioie of the element of laud grab, blng than of patilotlsm and phllani trophy.
