Brought From the ( out a Prison. Now I'nnnlleHH and IIomulexH. New Tork, Nov. 8. The 16 Cubans who were recently released by the Spanish government from the prison at Ceuta, and who arrived in this coun try last week on the Kaiser Wllhelm II, were yesterday released from the barge office and allowed to go, penni less and homeless, Into the streets. They applied for help at the Cuban Junta, but were turned away with the reply that no funds were available for them. The situation of the men Is peculiar. They were released from the prison, ana as they had no money for transportation and could not secure help from tho Spanish government they were forwarded to this country by tho United States consul there at the expense of this government. No arrangements were made for their re ception on this side, nor for their trans portation from this port to the Island of Cuba. When they arrived Commis sioner Kltchre sent a message to the Junta Informing them of tho Cubans' arrival here, and asking the Junta to caro for them. The Junta declined. After n conference on tho subject It was decided that the Junta would take care of the men for the night. An ef fort will be made by Mr. Palma to get the state department to provide for the men until they can be sent to Cuba. l.viichinix In Control llllnolx. Lacon, Ills., Nov. 8. The first lynch ing In central Illinois In many years took place here early yesterday morn ing, when a hundred miners from To luca, a mining town a short distance cast of here, brokee Into the county Jail, took out F. W. Stewart, a Toluca negro, and hanged him to a tree. The work was done quickly and quietly. The mob was well organized, and short ly after midnight marched In a body to tho Jail, broke In the doors, after a short parley with the sheriff, dragged the negro from his cell, carried him to a tree a mile from town, where the remainder of the party awaited them, and swung him to a limb. Stewart' crime was assault upon Mary O'ltrlen, the daughter of one of the local min ers. There Is a general impression that the negro was punished as ho deserved, and no special effort Is being mado to discover the Identity of the members of the mob. Gold Prom Terra Del Ktioiro.

Boynton and llottpltal Surgeons. Chicago, Nov. 8. General Dodge, Colonel Sexton and Dr. Conner, of the war Investigating commission, arrived la Chicago yesterday and Immediately began the examination of witnesses at the Auditorium hotel. A large number of witnesses are on the list, and It la not likely that the three membvrs of the commission will leave Chicago be fore Wednesday. They will then leave for Detroit, where the investigation will be sontLnutd. From Detroit the commissioners will go direct to Wash ington. Dr. Lewis Schooler, of Des Mlnes, la., was the first witness lo testify yes terday. From June 7 to July 17 Dr. Schooler was stationed at Camp Thomas as chief surgeon of the Sec ond division. Third corps. Questioned by Dr. Conner he said that during the time he was there the sanitary condi tions In the hospitals was not very good, the sinks in the whole division were bad, owing principally to the character of the ground, and the dis cipline was rather lax. There was also a scarcity of medicines. The doctor thought both the nurses and olllcers were overworked. Another witness was Mrs. Virginia F. Hot, of Chicago. She entered com rlalnt In regard to the death of her son, Frank T., who enlisted with Company L, First Illinois volunteers. He was takn sick at Santiago, and was taken to Montauk on the transport Berlin. From here he wan allowed to go home on furlough, when he should have been sent to the hospital. He was sent home entirely unattended, and was compelled to ride Hn a day coach instaad of being provlde.J with a berth In a sleeping car. II arrived home on Sept. 1 und on Sept. 19 he died. It was the opinion of Mrs. Hot that the medical ofllcerB should :aave sent him to the hospital, or If he iniH'l be sent home she claim ed that h should have had an at tendant. Dr. MiDo 11. Ward, of Kansas City, who sn i a lirhrade surgeon at Camp Thomas from July 12 to Sept. 10, asked as to true condition of the hospitals, said tha t tliere was a great lark of medicine s, tmly some of the simplest of medl' :lmw being on hand. "'The food which was furnished the ruen." said he, "! Mould not want to give to my pet ilng." He said that the fooj would hu vp been nil rij;ht bad it been proTly conked, but In the sh.ipe in whk'h it wus brought to in-? men It was enou eta to make anybody sick. The docto r was then questioned as to the lot-k of attention shown patients Just comb ig clown with disease. The doctor Hta ted that he knew of several cases who re the patient was allowed to lie out n the ground tho whole day, and also 1 iting the nlirht, before taken to the ho ipJttU., Son, climes some of the men wi -re put on the bare ground, but within a Tew hours they were al ways put o n cots or stretchers." Dr. Conn r "What was the reason that the Se( ond division hospital of the Third anny corps had. as It certainly did have, ti ic worst reputation of any hospital du.rlng the war?" Dr. Ward-'-"Th First reason. In my Judgment, is that the hospital had for its corps si irgeon a man who never paid any att enUun to It whatever. Ills name wn-t 1 loff. The next reason is that th man- In charge of .V hospital, the division targoun, very seldom vis ited the busp Ital or paid any attention to It. His name was Jenny. The next reason Is thnt there were not enough doctors at a rtv time to take care of the patients without overworking the doctors and mukimr them too til to get out of bed. T lie tfxt reason Is that the nurses were never compel n any pcnf:e of the word, but they dl.l the best they could when you consider thelt Ignorance, flume of them could not even road. TI ey vro forced to do the work under protest, and of course did only what tliej" were obliged to." In reply to further questions Dr. Ward said: "The necessities wero not available from the nnny mppli. s, nnd had It not been for the Red Cross some of the soldiers would have starved. Requisi tion after requisition was forwarded, and yet no relief came." When asked ns to his opinion for the responsibility of the conditions at Camp Thomas Dr. Ward said: "For the condition of the camp, first the man who Insisted that the camp was perfect and that the hospital was well run. That man was General Boyn ton." Dr. Nicholas Senn gave testimony before the commission at the evening session. He was at Chlekamauga three weeks In June. "Forty thousand troops were there at the time." he said, "and the sick accumulated very rapidly. When I was there a good many of the sick were on the ground. Medical supplies v.oro on hand to a lim ited extent." Dr. Senn said he thought the men In charge of the hospitals did very well considering that they were new In the service. When asked as to the conditions pre vailing at the front at Santiago Dr. Senn said there were very few cots for the sick ones, and most of the men slept on the ground. In Porto Rico Dr. Senn said he found the hospitals In gocd condition. Tho Khalifa Closely I'lir-iu il. Cairo. Nov. 8. Khalifa Abdullah, the defeated dervish leader.
