Sick Soldiers at Fort Myer.

Washington, Aug. 8-Secretary AL
ger visited Fort Myer yesterday after
noon with a view of ascertaining per-
sonally whether everything possible
was being done for the soldiers of
Camp Alger who are in the hospital at
the fort. Each one has a good bed
which is kept Immediately clean and
fresh. and all are receiving excellent
medical attention and nursing. At
present there are about 375 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 50. This is not considered
great loss in an army of nearly 10000
men during the three months the men
have been in the service.

SANCTION OFTHE CORTES
Necessary For the Cessicn of ANY Span
/ ish Territory-Its Convoca-
ton Necessary.

I london, Aug. 8.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of The Times says: "All the
best authorities agree that the govern
ment has decided to accept the Ameri-
can conditions. The answer of the
Spanish government declares that
Spain cannot discuss the American
proposals, but only accepts them. be-
cause they are imposed on her by force.
Only few unessential changes in the
American demands were asked for and
1t is not expected that President Nc
Kinley will refuse them.
Though the king, according to the
constitution, has the right to declare
war and make peace, any cession of
national territory requires the sanction
Of the cortes. and any minister con-
Senting to such cession without this
sanction Is liable, according to the
penal code, to Imprisonment for life II
Will be necessary, therefore, to convoke
the cortes some time before the treaty
of peace Is ratified. but the government
has not yet decided at what stage of
the proceedings this necessary formal
lty will be observed"

Philadelphia. Aug. s-The greatest
crowd that ever witnessed a bicycle
race in America gathered at Willow
Grove Saturday, the attendance being
estimated at close to $4,000. The event
scheduled for the afternoon was a rs
mile race between James Michael, Of
Wales, and Edward McDuffee,, of .BOs-
ton. The race was a miserable affair.
almost farce. There" was jockeying
from the start Michael was forced to
take the lead. The first mile was rid
den in the miserably poor time Of
2.09 4-5. The time for 1S miles was 1872.
McDuffee hung back of Michael till
near the 18th mile. He kept in front
of the little Welshman till the 18th mile,
both going at a snail's pace. On the
18th McDuffee swung wide OH the turn.
forcing Michael to take the lead. There
was squirt in the last two miles. and
1t looked as If McDuffee would win out.
but If he intended to do so he left 1t
too long, for Michael maintained his
position, winning by about ten yards.
Time, 45.25 1-5.
Last night, however, Referee Uhler
awarded the race to McDuffee. Michael
LED at the end of the 25 miles. but the
referee Withheld his decision, McDuffees
managers having lodged protest at
the end of the third mile that Michael
had more pacemakers than were speci-
fled in the contract. The contract call
ed for 80 pacemakers to side, and
after an investigation it was found
that Michael had SO. Under these cir
cumtsances McDuffee was given the
