washington. Aug. 7.-Governor Johh

the secretary of war that there is no

All the Men Are Anxious to Get Into the
New Quarters.
Washington. Aug. MANY people
from Washington and the surrounding
country journeyed out to Camp Alger
and Dunn Loring to-day TO take a hnal
look at the regiments of the First d.
vision which are so oon to leave those
places for Manassas, where the new
camp Is to be located. The weather was
again very hot and the roads dusty.
There IL very little news from camp,
and all the men are looking onward
eagerly TO the proposed movement.
which they feel is now but a short time
ahead. A detachment of yellow fever
immunes will leave camp tomorrow for
New York city. where they will go
aboard of the government transports
for Porto Rico.
General Davis, with the Second di-
vision of the corps originally stationed
at Camp Alger. has now advanced -four
miles beyond 10 Bristow. In
this locality the expectation was a per
manent camp would be located. bur
this may have to be changed, as IN
v~estigation of the country shows a
great scarcity of water. II the camp Is
located at Bristow many artesian wells
will have to be SUM to supply the de-
mand.
There were a few heat prostrations
as the result OF the hard marching, but
so far as ascertained, none of them are
serious.

washington, Aug. 7.-Secretary Alger

which is kept clean and fresh, and all
are receiving excellent medical atten-
tion and nursing. At present there are
about 1876 men in the hospital. Some
of them are very seriously i'll and a
few are not expected to recover. Thus
far the fatalities among the troops at
Camp Alger have numbered 80. This
is not considered a great loss in an
army of nearly 10000 men during the
three months the men have been in the
service.

SAVED BY THE QUEEN.
victOria's Great Grandchildren WIN
Be "ROya1 Highnesses" bZ
Her Decree.

An interesting writer has lately
pointed out that the children of
Prince Arthur, the only son of the
duke, of Connaught, who is himself
third son of the queen, will no longer
be royal highnesses," but merely
mobiles, and should these children have
children, they will be obliged to con-
tent themselves with the common
place prefix Mr." 1t is this fact, says
the Boston Herald, that has induced
the queen to issue letters patent. I'M
der the seal, declaring that the chill
dren of the eldest son of the prince
of Wales shall have and at all times hold
and enjoy the style, title or attribute
of 'royal highness" Hitherto these
children of the duke of York had no
right to be so termed. They were
just plain princes, and their children
would fare no better than their cous-
ms of COnnaught. This state of af-
fairs results from the queen of Eng
land living to see three generations
of her direct heirs, and it doubtless set
her to thinking how Grandpapa Wales
would like having an untitled great
grandson with no place in the royal
procession. Until the issue of these
letters patent, little Eddie, David and
Baby Victoria were nothing but COM
moners in the eyes of the law. It
seems odd to Americans that this de-
cree of the queens should have lifted
quite weight from the Waleses' and
Yorks' hearts; but what say the Con-
naughts of being left out in the cold
with their plain your grace" and
''Mr. ?" They haven't been benefited,
and what is to become of them 100
years hence?

ROWS IN CAMP.
A Number of New York Commission
ed Officers Resign.

Chickamauga Park, July 20.-The tel
ephOne system at the park has been
abandoned and the army officers are
depending entirely upon the telegraph,
the signal corps having perfected an
excellent system with an office at each
of the division headquarters. The Sys-
tenn gives Gen. BrOOke's headquarters
direct connection with the government
at Washington.
Yesterday the work of tearing down
the telephone wires was begun.
Major LOrigan, whose resignation as
major of the second battalion, Ninth
New York, has been accepted, left for
New York city. Major Lorigan's resig-
nation grew out of his opposition to
Col Greene for the colone!cy OF the
regiment. Both men had been prom
inent in New York state military affairs
for years. Because of existing friction
and the unpleasant results attendant,
Major LOrigan decided to withdraw
from the command. Later after having
filed his resi- gnatiOn, he reconsidered the
matter and wished to Withdraw it, but
was informed by Col. Greene that TINS
could not be done. the matter oeSaI an
to assume more general proportions by
this time, Major LOrigan's resignation
being accompanied by that of Captain
D. Walton, Company D Since that
time the resignation OF Captain Byru'
Company F. Captain ThOmpkins, Com
pany B, First Lieutenant Leon Bardy,
Company B, First Lieutenant Winter,
Company V, have been filed through
sympathy.
Col Greene refused to discuss the
matter or to speak of the probable sue
cessors of the commissioned officers
who have resigned.
A spirited row is now on between the
line of the Fourth Ohio and the medical
staff. Lieutenant Huidekoper has or
dered Captain Surgeon Wright over to
the division hospital. Col. Colt claimed
the order should come through him and
appealed to Brigadier General Haines:
Iaines sustained Colt and Wright will
stay until the matter can be carried

A BEAUTIFUL CITY.
Such Is Manila, the Central Point of
Interest in the Philippine
Islands.

Manila is a beautiful city, about the
size of San Francisco. 1t is built on
both sides of the River Passig, which
is navigable to it's source, says the
San Francisco Chronicle. Old Manila
lays on the left bank. Parts of the
masonic stone wall, which was
built around it 200 years ago, are still
visible, and some of the gates survive,
through which a stream of solemn
friars, grinning Chinese, Respondent
Spanish officials, beggars in rags, pious
nuns, handsome senoras, gay native
girls, mestizos in uniform, natives in
breech-clouts, fOur-horse carriages,
two-wheel pony wagons and creaking
buffalo carts pour from morning till
night. The cathedral, monasteries
and government offices are in old
Manila; the business quarter, the for
eign shipping houses, the banks, stores
and custom house are in Binondo, on
the other side of the river. Between
the walls and the shore are the Lu-
meta, the fashionable promenade,
where the band plays and society en-
joys the evening breeze, hirts under
hundreds of electric lights and drives
around the circle in carriages, which
follow each other in slow, dignifed
procession. The best houses in Manila
are built of stone, and are handsome
residences, though there is no win
dow glass used in their construction.
Instead of glass the windows are
glazed with translucent oyster shells.
This is cut into squares so small that
a window eight feet by four will contain
$50 of them. It is found that they tenn

MAPS OF VALLEY FORGE.
Recent DiscOvery-TradittO
of the Camp.

1t is somewhat remarkable, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer, that the only
known maps of the Valley Forge en-
campment during the winter of 1777-
rs were made known to an American
as late as last summer, when Judge
Pennypacker discovered them in Am
sterdam, and that, presented before
the Sons of the Revolution on their re-
cent visit to Valley Forge, they will
only become known to the American
public when published in the society's
year book. The series of maps now in
Judge Pennypacker's possession and
made originally by French engineer
with the American army, include not
only careful drawings of the Valley
Forge encampment, but plans also of
the battlefields of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey.
It is understood that the plat of the
Valley Forge encampment modifes
materially the traditions concerning
the camp, showing the location of
troops where heretofore no troops
have been supposed to have had their
encampment. The careful Hollander
who contributed so heartily to the
American cause appears to have con-
tributed the last chapter to the his
tory of the cause by preserving these
maps until they fell into the right
hands
