In the first place" said the commits
sioner, I'VE asked him who had been in
fuential in the selection OF camp sites
The only answer vouchsafed is that Gen
eral Lee selected the camp at Jackson

mentioned. But this omission will, No
doubt. be remedied in the supplemental
report for which we viii call on the Sec
retary."
Secretary Alger's report includes about
1900 words. and in addition to the Jack
sonvIlle camp matter covers only these
points:
The selection OF Tampa as po.nt for
emoarkation; Rear Admiral sampson.s

Santiago; Commodore Remey's dIsr=ssa
the cause Of the subsequent delay Of the
troops. Discussion Of these topics ex-
hausts the report. No attempt seems ts
have been made TO explain the cause Of
the hardshIps suffered by the soldiers in
Tampa. The matter is brushed aside
with apparent contempt in the relation
that Tampa was considered good Ioca-
ton and the most convenient point OF
embarkauOn.
