Omaha, Oct. 17.-Majm .(leneral
William It. Hhaftcr was accorded a
molt generous welcome by Omaha to
day. When his tiain arrived in the
morning a large number of people had
gathered at the station to greet the
hero of Santiago. Later, upon the ox
position grounds, tho manifestation of
love and resct for tho general were
evetywheie in evideuoe. This after
noon, in the auditorium, General Shnf
ter addressed an audience that filled
every inoh of avuilublo space in the
great building. His address was a
plain, matter-of-fact disoussion of the
Cuban campaign, and the simple pre
station of facts was far more effective
than tho mot exalted orutorical effort
from one who had not participated in
tho struggle.
Ono or two statements made by the
general are new. Ho said that with
the capture of El Caney tho campaign
was practioally over. It wus simply
necessary, he laid, to convince tho
Spanish commander that his case was
hopeless.
"Why the Spaniards surrondored
when they could havo abandoned their
position and kept up the war," ho
said, "I do not understand, but I be
lieve it wa because they hud been in
formed thut the Spanish government
bad decided to give up tho fight und
surrender their soldiors in the custom
part of tho island."

Hospitals In Chlrkamaugu.
Washington, Oct. IS. Lieutenant-Colon-I
L. J. Hoff wus beforo the war
rr.ve.-tig.it ing commission at tho fore
noon session. He Is u regular army
officer, and was chief surgeon in thu
Third army corps at Chickamuuga.
Hoff did not consider tho camp to havo
been in tho best sanitary condition, but
cxprosseil the opinion that it could not
bo bettor, under the circumstances. In
the beginning, the camp was short of
medical supplies, duo to tho expecta
tion that arriving troops would bring
supplies of medicines.
Continuing, Dr. Hoff said tho capa
city of the division hospitals was often
doubled an I trebled. It sometimes oc
curred that there woro eight men in
tents which were intended to accommo
date six, because of delay in securing
tentugo to euro for tho increase ol dis
ease, which wus unexpectedly rapid.
On one or two occasions putients wero
nocessaiily placed in beds made upon
tho floors, because ol a temporary tie
flceincy in cots. As a rule tho nurses
wore without training, and this lact
occusiouotl some difficulty in dealing
with typhoid cases. Yot ho knew of
no speoillo cases of suffering on this ac
count. Ho speoilled the case of a man
afflicted with an infectious disease, who
had been compelled to lio in tho open
air one night on account of lack of tent
age. Tho doctor was sure that no in
jury resulted, us the weather was pleas
ant. Dr. Hoff said thut the shortage,
in me. heal supplies hud continued for
several weeks, but thero wus generally
sufficient to meet the immediate de
mands. He also .-aid that some requisi
tions had been returned by the Wash
ington authorities because improperly
tilled, and ho was undo? the impression
that there had been complaints of some
flufforing on this uccount. Thero was
considerable delay in securing flooi ing
for tho tents.

from Moscow reports thut news bus
reached thero from tho Asiatic border
ol the discovery of an entile village,
the existence of which g unknown to
Rnssinn und BurQpean ethnologists and
geographers. None of the many tribes
in this weird region knew that there
was such u village, nor have thoy ever
met any of tho inhabitants.
Tho villago lies Bnugly ensconced in
the valley of a group of lofty mountains
in tho almost imp. net table Urul range.
Tho tcnple - pi al; U language of their
own, which beats no rescmbliince whut
ever to tho 70 or moio luugiiugos which
prevail in tho vast regions of tho gieut
white czar.
Tho tmvelers who chanced upon thie
community havo boon unable to elicit
any information regarding their ante
cedents. Their dress consist princi
pally of animal skins and thoir huts ure
constructed of twisted boughs.
Tho report adds sarcastically, refer
ring to the heavy burdens ol tho czar's
subjects, which hnvo been discovered,
thut the viRago seems to form n sort ol
ideal commonwealth, in which taxes
and tax gatherers, nmong other trouble
some things, nre unheard of. This lat
ter defect, however, is now to be rem
edied, ami it will no doubt bo only a
matter of n few weeks or mouths be
fore the villagers partake of nil tho ad
vantages and privileges of tho Russian
peasants.
