CAMP ALGER
To Be Abandoned Because of Bad San.
itary Conditions Existing There.

Washington, August 1-Acting on
the recommendation Of Surgeon Cen
eral Sternberg. Secretary Alger has
practically concluded to abandon Camp
Alger. near this city, because Of dis
satisfaction with the sanitary condi-
tions there as exhibited by the large
Number of sick soldiers. The change
will not be made Immediately, how
ever, for it is not known positively
yet which regiments now in the camp
will be withdrawn to make up the total
of about 5000 required TO be supplied
to General Wades command, and IL
the second place. it is believed to be
absolutely essential to have the new
camps selected with the greatest care
and put in perfect order for the recep-
ton of the troops before any attempt
is made to install them.
Major Heistand and Surgeon Smart,
who have been making tour through
Pennsylvania recently, returned to-day
and reported the results Of their search
for camp sites TO Secretary Alger. Fur
Their information is required. however,
before the department can act.

Washington, August 1.-Gen.
Merritt has again cabled the war
department relative to the situa-
ton in Manila, which he finds very
unsatisfactory and dangerous ow-
ing to the attitude of the insur-
gents. In the opinion of Gen. Mer-
rift the attitude of the insurgents
there is similar to that assumed
by sGarcia's Cubans upon the ques
ton Of their right to enter and
possess themselves of the city, al
though in this case the insurgents
are very much more formidable
element, being not only more nu-
merous, but better armed and filled
with the arrogance following nu-
marcus victories over their Span
ish foes. Gen. Merritt. however.
indicates that he will 40 HIS .N
most to pIutout tho citizens from
the savagery of the insurgents,
his task is a delicate and difficult
one because of the fact that he
must, while fighting the Spaniards,
be ready at any moment to repel
the insurgents. The general gave
notice that he was about to COM
bine with Admiral Dewey in Joint
demand for the surrender of the
city to the United States forces,
thus fOrestalling the insurgents.
and this move may cause a rup-
ture. 1t is possible in view of the
fact that Gen. Merritt's cablegram
was sent from Cavite last Thurs
day that this movement has been
made already by the combined
American military and naval force
although there is some doubt about
this on account of statement from
Merritt that he may need all Of his
soldiers before attacking. Still,
it is possible that the demand be
made without being Immediately
followed by an attack, which
might be deferred until all the
troops have reached Cavite.
Up to the date of the report
General Merritt bad with him
about 10000 soldiers. So far seven
expeditions have left San Fran
cisco, carrying soldiers to the
Philippines, and it is the intention
to furnish Merritt at least 5000
men more. than his present force.
If he delays his attack until all
these have reached him, Manila
will not be taken in that way be-
fore September, for the last Of the
troops have not yet started from
San Francisco. 1t may be, how
ever, that the arrangement as to

Probably If the editor of the paper
containing the above quotation had
taken the second thought it would
never have appeared in print. The
old soldier is the man whom all true
citizens like to greet with a hearty
shake of the hand. God bless the old
soldier! In the dark days when the
nation was tottering in the balance it
was the old soldier who saved the
country and gave this same editor.
who now displays to heap ridicule on
the head of as brave men as the
world ever saw, a united country to
live in and one of which every man
should be proud to be a citizen.

Fresident Mckinley Designates November
"a As The Day For National
ThanksgiyinU

~ -NshtiOhdi
Thanksgiving.
WASHINGTON, Oct, 28.-The Presi-
dent today issued the following
Thanksgiving proclamation:
The approaching November brings
to mind the custom of our ancestors.
followed by time and rooted in our
most sacred traditions, of giving
thanks to Almighty God for all the
blessings he has vouchsafed to us
during the past year
Few years in our history have af-
forded such cause for THANKSGIVING as
this. We have been blessed by album
dant harvests, our trade and com
merce have been wonderfully in
creased, our public credit has beeu
improved and strengthened, all sec
tions of our common country have
been brought together and knitted
into closer bonds of national purpose
and unity.
The skies have been for a time
darkened by the cloud of war, but. as
we were compelled to take up the
sword In cause of humanity, we are
permitted to rejoice that the conflict
has been of brief duration, and the
losses we have had to mourn, though
grevIous and important, have been
so few, considering the great results
accomplished, as to inspire us with
gratitude and praise to the Lord of
hosts. We may laud and magnify
His holy name that the cessation of
hostilities came so soon as to spare
both sides the countless sorrows and
disasters that attend protracted war.
II do, therefore, invite all my feI-
low-cltizens, as well as those at home
as those who may be at sea or So
journing in foreign lands, to set apart
and observe Thursday, the Gath day
of November, as a day of national
Thanksgiving, to come together in
their several places of Worship for a
service of praise and thanks to AL
mighty God for all the blessings of
the year, for the mildness of the sea-
sons and the fruitfulness of the soil.
for the continued prosperity of the
people, for the devotion and valor of
our countrymen, for the glory of our
victory and the hope of righteous
peace, and to pray that the divine
guidance which has brought us here
tofore to safety and honor may be
graciousiy continued in the years to
come.

waters those of the first class cost
from $25, 900 to $3.50, 900 each, so that,
on an average basis of the minimum
cost in the United States, Spain's
thirty-three lighthouses may repre-
sent an outlay of &925, 900,
Spain has constructed breakwaters
at an expense not knOwa here, and
wharves of small value along thePasig
river. She has recently built barracks
for 1000 men, now occupied by
American troops, the cost of which is
not yet ascertainable.
At Cavite Spain built IA naval sta
tiOn, which, before IL was sacked by
the natives, was said to be equal to
the Mare Island station in California,
and may then have been worth
50, 100000
Whether or not the last two items
can be strictly designated pacific
expenditures" must be determined in
conference, but the lighthouses, water
improvements, barracks and naval
station are necessary to the Uunited
States as the owner of the Philip
pines and are deemed worth fair
price.
Spain has also built some school
houses, which the Americans are
willing to take at cost.
Were the Spanish commissioners
pushed to a final determination to-
night, they would reject the Ameri-
can demands, but the changing tone
of the Spanish press recently urges
the consummation of u treaty of
peace, however rigorous, the argu-
ment being that although the
Spaniards bow to the American de-
mands. the commissioners do not
acknowledge the justice or admit the
legality of them.
The Sanish commissioners feel that
the United States, to all intents and
purposes, has not offered proper
financial inducements to Spain to
cede by treaty any part of the Philip
pines. Had the American commits
sioners even offered to take the en-
tire Philippines debt of about $40
100000, the Spaniards say it would
have been as nothing. They regard
to days propositions as so meagre as
to warrant even a schedule of Spain's
"paciic expenditures in the
archipelago.
The president of the Spanish com
mission, Senor Montero Rios, whose
health recently was SO precarious as
to threaten an indefinite adjournment
of the sessions, had improved to the
extent of enabling him to attend the
meeting. He went to the foreign
office in a closed carriage.
MADRID, Oct. 31.-The news that
the Spanish peace commission at
Paris had referred to the government
a formal demand of the American
commissioners of the absolute cession
of the entire Philippine group caused
the greatest surprise in Madrid. The
strongest feeling prevails that the
government should protest energeti-
eally against what regarded as a
violation of the spirit of the protocol.

But it will be our duty now, in or
der that other promises be fulfilled,
to send majority of Republicans to

AS the Presidents opportunities to
do anything or even to give thought
to the cause of our grievance has been
obstructed by the duty of wise think
ing and sound judgment in the prose
cution of matters affecting the well

the G. A. r. and the sons of veterans
that the evils shall be removed and
equitable provisions be made for us
