AT CAMP w1KoFF.
Tour OF Inspection and Reports
10 the President.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Secre: ary Al
ser returned from Camp Wilioff, Mon
tauk Point, L. l., Saturday morning,
and at once drove to the white house
to have short conference with Presi-
dent Mckinley before the latter start
ed for Somerset, Pa, for short yaca
ton. 1t was arranged that the presi-
dent should go to Camp Wikoff next
Saturday to pay his respects to the
heroes of Santiago, and Secretary AL
ger will meet hi1l there. He assured
the president that the camp is in bet
ter condition than has been reported,
and that the sick are being well cared
for in the hospitals, while the con-
valescents have the best of wholesome
food, which wfl, in the salubrious cli-
mate of Montauk, build up the men
and put them in condition to go home
in comfort.
The secretary declined to discuss for
publication the criticisms of the war
department, but he said that the pos
sibilties and almost certainties of ter
rible ravages from the fevers had been
fully discussed Ivy the war officials and
by the press before the army went to
Cuba, and the government had held
back against sending great army to
Cuba when the same agitators who
| now complain that men have died were
demanding thai an army of 100000 be
sent to Cuba. He was thankful that 30
few men had died from disease in Cuba
and that so many of the sick who had
returned were suffering from o worse
complications than malaria1 fever

The OTHER SIDE.



There are Not So Had as Reported.
Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug. 31.-Gov.
Black was seen last night by a press
representative and was asked as to
the conditions as he found them in the
camps of the New York regiments as
well as those at division hospitals.
Gov. Black said there appeared to be
"a perfect hydrophobia" among news
papers over the condition of the sol
diers, that the press bristled with
such phrases as "hollow eyed" and
starving" in articles descriptive of
the troops. He gave it as his opinion
that the matter was exaggerated,
manufactured in newspaper offices"
and the result Of journalistic knav-
cry"
When assured that his views would
be printed verbatim and not withheld
because they failed to concur with the
present newspaper craze" his excel
lency gave the following Interview:
MY impression" said CIV. Black,
''of the camp of the New York troops
at Chickamauga is not half as bad as
| expected it would be. The unfav-
orable condition of the camp and hos
pitals has, beyond a doubt, been very
greatly exaggerated by the papers.
"The division hospital in which the
sick soldiers of the Ninth New York
infantry are quartered is certainly
in very bad condition. The present
state of this hospital ought never to
have been permitted to exist and
should be corrected also. think that
the troops at Chickamauga park
should have been moved long before
any sickness broke out in the ranks.
"This Sternberg hospital is in excel
lent condition. L do not see that il
could be made any better 1t is ad-
mirable both in plan and manage
ment.
"As to the New York troops at
Chickamauga, mean to take as many
home to New York as / can. 1 shall
also endeavor to have as many mus.
tered out as possible, and those that
/ cannot have mustered out will EN-.
ploy every endeavor to have moved to
northern camps at the earliest possible
date.
"The hospitals of the Eighth and
Fourteenth New York regiments are
much better in every particular than
the one in which the sick of the Ninth
New York infantry are quartered."
The case of Private Num-, of the
ambulance company, who was trans.
| ferred from the Ninth New York, was
reported to the governor by Capt
O'Connor, of Company A, Ninth New
York, and was reported by the gov,
ernor to Washington for investigation
Capt. O'Connor's statement was that
he had found the body of Num- lying
naked in a division hospital two days
after death, infested by maggots; thai
an autopsy had been held and that nc
preparation had been made for the
care or interment of the body up tc
the time found by O'Connor. The af
fair has created a great stir and il
will result in the trial of Capt. O'Con
nor by court-martial.

THE COMPANY WON.
Case of T. S. Bent ys. The s. A. M. R. R.
 Decided at Montgomery.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Montgomery, Ala, May 2S.-The case of T. S. Bent, ct al. vs. the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery Railway company was de- cided in the city court here today in favor of the company. It involved $4O0,OOO and was naturally of interest in local railroad and commercial circles. In the cause decree was rendered everything demurrers and motions to dismiss for want of equity, and dismissing the bill on the merits of the case T. s. Bent, receiver for the Pennsylvania Steel company, sued the Sa- vannah, Americus and Montgomery com pany for steel rails used on the company's track.
 When the road went into the hands of receiver Bent filed his suit in the courts at Americus, petitioning the court to force the receiver to pay the bill for rails be- fore the first mortgage bonds were paid. These bonds were held by the Mercantil Trust and Deposit company, of Baltimore. The Georgia court rendered decision in favor of the defendant, holding that the first mortgage was payable first. Judge H. B. Tomkins, of Atlanta, and Colonel H. O. Tomkins, of Montgomery, were the attor- neys for the plaintiffs, and Judge Miller, of Macon; Judge Fisher, of Baltimore; MT. Carter, of Savannah, and Colonel John D. Roquemore, of Montgomery, represented the defendant
