was reached the enemy had all got

the brush, but the Americans were un-
able to examine the spot where their
firing had been most deadly. No time
was lost in burning the buildings and
filling the we'll with earth and stonos.
The Dolphin landed water and am
munition, as an attack was expected
on the return march, but none was
made. Evidently the Spaniards were
too thoroughly beaten to attempt fur

reach the American camp until after
nightfall, and as they had been with
out food since the early morning they
were thoroughly exhausted.

AN EMERGENCY CAMP. ~

If Necessity Compels.

II I'SSSp'hsS >oHpoho'
Washington, June 18.-Secretary AL
ger has just received the report Of the
special board headed by Major Hopkins
that was charged with an inspection of
various points that were offered as good
camping grounds for the United States
troops. The board found that good fa-
cilities could be furnished at Jackson
vile and Fernandina. Fla. and Sa-
vannah Charleston had many points
to recommend II, but sufficient ground
space was lacking. The best features
for large military camp were found
at Fernandina, Fla. This point lies
II miles off the main line of railroad
communication. which makes II pos
sible TO easily Isolate the camp should
II become necessary TO do so through
the appearance of yellow Jack. A broad
plateau affords splendid camping and
drill ground for 20, 900 troops, and within
mile lies one of the finest sea beaches
In the country. One Of the best features
Of the site Is a great well, ! 700 feet
deep, flowing pure water at the rate Of
20. coo, COO gallons day. Pure and nbuEd-
ant water has been discovered to be the
very finest requisite Of a healthy mill
tary camp. The board reported that
this water could be piped all over the
camp, and Secretary Alger, with view
to having everything in readiness. has
ordered the piping to be laid at once.
thus indicating the departments choice
of sites.
There is no intention to break up the
present camps unless disease should
appear, necessitating the change. Sec
retary Alger's purpose in sending Ma
jor Hopkins board was TO prepare a
camp not for immediate occupation,
but for the instant reception Of troops
who might necessarily be removed from
,ther camps where contagious disease
appears. Touching Camp Alger, the
secretary said that no less than five
wells had been opened there, and that
there was every evidence that the water
Supply. which had been source Of
complaint, would be ample in the fu-
ture. The place is free from flies and
mosquitoes, the sick rate is very low,
and altogether. in the opinion Of Sec
retary Algcr, there is no better camp.
