THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 12, 1898. AN ANSWER WHICH DOES NOT ANSWER Secretary Alger's Reply to the Iniesti- giM Committee's Question is - Very Unsatisfactory. .. WHOLE REPORT IS FARCIAL Secretory Will Be Called Upon to Fur-, nish a Complete Report Matter of Locating of Army Camps Barely Touched Upon in Report. New York, Oct. 10. A diepatch to the herald from Washington save: Secretary Alger has gent an answer to the war investigating committee, which, in the words of one of the commissioners "does not answer." . "la the firet place," said this commis sioner, "we asked who had been influ ential in selecting the camp sites. The - only answer vouchsafed is that General Lee eelected the camp at Jacksonville. I do not think that any other camp is mentioned. But this omiesion will, no doubt, be remedied in the supplement al report for which we will call upon the secretary." Secretary Alger's report includes 3000 - words, and in addition to the Jackson--ville camp matter, covers only these points: The selection of Tampa as a point of embarkation; Rear-Admiral Sampson's dispatch ; the cause of has tening troops to Santiago; Commodore Remey's dispatch ; the cause of the subsequent delay of the troops. Discus cussion of these points exhausts the re port. No attempt seems to have been made to explain the cause of the hardships suffered by the eoKiiers in Tampa. The matter is brushed aside with apparent contempt in the relation that Tampa was considered a good loca tion and the most convenient place of embarkation. Secretary Alger will be asked for a . more complete answer. The program of the commiesion for this week is to have no witnesses ex cept those who may be caught passing through Washington. The time will be spent in reading the voluminous report of the adjutant-general, then the report of Surgeon-General Sternberg, and then the reports of other heads of depart ments. Members of the commission expect to leave for a tour of the camps a week from Monday. They go first to camp Meade before it breaks up. They will go to Jacksonville, where Colonel Bryan . will be one of the principal witnesses. The tour of the camps, it is thought, will consume about two weeks. The com mission will return to Washington and later go to New York city. In New York two prominent witnesses will be called Colonel Theodore Roos evelt and R. B. Roosevelt. The latter made grave charges against the admin istration of Commiseary-General Agan, and he will be asked to substantiate them. -THE SITUATION IS CLEARING UP Spaniards Indisposed to Prolong the Negotiations Since Becoming Con vinced that No Outside Aid Can Be Expected. Nkw York, Oct. 10. A dispatch to the Herald from Washington says: From a dispatch received from Chair man Day, the authorities are still of the opinion that the work of the peace com mission will be com ploted by the time congress meets. Mr. Day takes quite an optomistic view of the situation.. It is his deeire to limit the time of discus eion of the various points raised as much as passible, in order that the negotia tions mav reach an earlv co'ncluaion. Information which has been received here, shows conclusively that Spain has no further hope of foreign intervention, ' and this fact leads the authorities to the "belief that she will not at tempt to drag the negotiations out as long as she would if she thought there was a chance of any European government attempting to se cure a modification 'of the American terms. " The United Stales may submit a dip lomatic protest to Spain through the French government against its action in sending a Spanish auxiliary cruiser loaded with arms and ammunition to the Philippines. In any event, the mat ter is under consideration, and it is be lieved has been called to the attention of the American commissioners now in Paris. i THE EXCEIENCE OF SY8UP OF FIGS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the California Fis Syrtjp Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other pat ties. The high standing of the CALI FORNIA Frs Sykup Co. with the medi cal profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guaranty of the excellence of its remedy. It is far in advance of all Other laxatives, as it acts on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weaken ing them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate. In order to get its beneficial effects, please remember the same of the Company CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. SAN FRANCISCO. Cat lOflSVIIXE. Ky. NEW YORC V. T. Wool, Wheat mnd Sugar. Dun's Weekly Review of Trade says: "The large Eastern advances on wool to be held for higher prices had helped to retard the natural decline in that pro duct, of which 100 quotations by Coates Bros, of Philadelphia average 13.71 cents, against 20.S3 cents February 1, while extraordinarily small sales, only 2,614, 300 pounds, for the week, at the three chief markets against 14,337,000 pounds last year 7,663,800 in 1895, and 7,099,600 in 1892, indicate very little demand at this time for manufacture. The truth is that demand for goods is not helped by high prices for wool. "Wheat has been declining a little with foreign reports Eomewbat more favorable as to European crops, and yet the actual shipments' have been 3,586, 947 bushele, flour included, for the week, against 4,468,954 bushels for the corres ponding week last year. All Teports still Indicate' that farmers are quite generally holding back their crop in the hope of higher prices, and collections at the West are almost everywhere retarded on that account, and ret the Western receipts amount to 10,539,359 bushels, against 8,310,720 for the same week last year. Nor is the corn crop any obstruction, for while 2631,002 bushels were exported during the week, against 1,855,067 last year, the movement does not indicate large supplies in the interor. "The battle between the great sugar producers has reduced prices of refined sugar over half a cent during the cast week, and yet the opposing companies find no satisfactory ground for agree ment, and the contest is likely to con tinue for some time."

Among them was the little 3-year-old daughter of Mr. Hutchinson. The children had some matches, which they ignited. Some straw caught fire, and this was communi cated to the barn. All the children ex cept the little Hutchinson girl fled. She was left at the mercy of the flames. A neighbor, Brown by name, rushed in and found the child hanging by her bands to a piece of burning scantling. Her clothing was on fire. He grasped her in his arms and rushed rut into the open air, rolling ber on the ground and extinguishing the flames. It was found that her legs, back, arms and head were frightfully burned. Drs. Cole and Vin cent were called, and succeeded in allay ing her pain. Brown, who so heroically rescued the child, was badly burned en his bands and arms. Today the child died of her injuries. .'
