An Omcer,s Statement.

The reports in circulation that the Six
ty-fifth is an undisciplined, dissatisfied
regiment, and that the condition of af-
fairs in their camp has been exaggerated
have induced the hitherto silent officers to
speak, and Col. Samuel NJ WEIGH, jr..
said yesterday:
I'VE went into service with the expec-
tation of being sent Immediately to the
front, and our sole desire was TO be in
the fighting. Instead we have been suf-
fering in camps during almost the entire
time. The cause of this suffering has
been an insufficient supply of good water,
bad location, and neglect on the part of
higher officials to move the camp when
necessary.
I'VE have always been a healthy regi-
ment and so much sickness in the camp
has disheartened the boys and I think
they will be glad to get home Although
our present camp is better than the Old one
in some respects, We have to haul water
two miles and a half and it is hard to
get sufficient supply for drinking and
cooking, and there is none available for
bathing. This is our condition and is
responsible for the large amount of sick
ness in the regiment"
A Chaplain's Story
Chaplain Harvey S. Fisher spoke even
more freely than Col. WEIGH of the treat
ment the regiment has received, and saws
that while the boys suffered in silence
and willingly undertook the disagreeable
duties assigned them. when they were so
anxious to fight, they are now glad to get
nome. but that the regiment has ever
asked anything of the War Department,
and their desire to be mustered out was
discovered through Brig. Gen. Plume, who
requested that the question be put to the
regiment.
The first site given us for our camn, y
said Chaplain Fisher, was on the ground
just evacuated by another regiment and
left in a very bad condition. l am told by
medical officers that a regiment should
not occupy the same site longer than two
weeks at the utmost, and yet we were
kept there for sixty-one days cortinu-
ously, despite the request of our colonel
that the camp be speedily moved
THE water supply on this site was in
sufficient and impure, and we have never
had sufficient water for bathing purposes
since we have been at Camp Alger. On

M'KINLEY AT moNTAuK.
The President Visits Camp wikoff and In
spects the Hospitals.

NpoCSb INC HOopIJhNs
Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, N. Y,
Sept. 5.-Presldent Mckinley spent
five hours liz the camp Saturday, visit
ing the sick in the hospitals and in
specting the well in their encamp-
ments. He made speech to the as
sembled :nfantrymen, reviewed the
caYalrymen, expressed favorable
opinion of the camp to the reporters
and issued an order directing the reg
'llars to return to their stations east
VI the Mississippi.
With the president were Vice Presi-
dent Hobart, Secretary Alger, Attor-
ney General Griggs, Senator Proctor,
of Vermont; Brig. Gen. Eagan, COM
missary of the army; Brig. Gen. Lud-
ington, quartermaster of the army;
Col. Henry Hecker and the secretaries
to the president, Porter and Cortelyou.
The ladies of the party were Mrs.
Alger and Miss Hecker, daughter of
Col. Hecker. Gen. Wheeler, his staff
and nearly every officer of prominence
in the camp met the president at the
station.
Mr.. Mckinley drove to Gen. Skaters
tent in the detention camp. The gen.
sral, who was weak from mild case
cf malarial fever, was sitting in
chair at the door of the tent. He
tried to rise, but Mr.. Mckinley said:
stay where you are, general. You
are entitled to rest"
The president congratulated Shafter
on the Santiago campaign and after
few minutes rest proceeded to the
general hospital. The soldiers recent
ly arrived on transports and detained
in the detention section of the camp
lined up irregularly on each side of the
road and cheered.
Miss Wheeler, daughter of the gem
eral, was in the first row of the hos
pital tents and she showed the presi-
dent through her division. Gen.
Wheeler announced in each ward:
Boys, the president has come to see
you" or Soldiers, the president of the
United States"
The great camp will dissolve dur
ng the next three weeks and by
October it will have shrunk to slen-
1er proportions. The well men, ac-
,ording to the war departments
present designs, will leave the camp
as fast as transportation can be con-
Veniently provided, probably at the
rate of 1900 or 1000 week. The con-
Valescent from the hospitals, instead
Of being sent again into camp with
their commands, will go to their
homes. The president, Secretary Alger
and Gen. Wheeler had talk about it
Saturday and although Gen. Wheeler
thought the men would do well in
camp until October 1, it was deter
mined to continue sending the men
away. The regulars taken from the
posts east of the Mississippi will, ac-
,ording to the presidents directions,
be sent where they were before the
war. The war department has not yet
transmitted the order to Gen. Shafter,
but it will no doubt be received by

injunction on complaint of Secretary
Ross, of the state labor statistics
bureau, closing the Springside mine
at Taylorville, near Pana. The writ
was served on the mine owners and
closes the mine until the case is heard
by the court. 1t is alleged the mine
has no fire boss and that the escape.
ment shaft is not large enough. The
petition for injunction is the outcome
of the trouble over imported negro
miners TO take the places Of striking

Detroit, Mich, Sept 5.-Michigan's
volunteers who took part in the San
tiugo campaign received a thrilli1S
welcome when they reached Detroit
early Sunday morning. The tired, sick
and emanciated men of the Thirty
third and Thirty-fourth Michigan en-
ioyed the substantials and luxuries of
life to an extent unknown to them
since they left the state last spring
All the hotels utilized their space to
give food and comfort to the soldiers,
and the hospitals and homes cared
tenderly for the sick.
In all 200 men were removed directly
from the depots to the hospitals. Al
though many of them were in serious
condition there were no deaths among
them Sunday, The men are being sent
to their homes as fast as transporta.
ton can be arranged for them. Up to
6 D. M, about hal1 of both regiments
had been sent home. Many of the
men, although scarcely able to move,
were so anxious to get home that by
almost superhuman efforts they kept
up so as to be taken to the trains with
their stronger comrades. The men OF
both regiments did very little com
planning, most of what was done being
al the medical facilities in Cuoa. which
they said were very inadequate. The
reason ascribed for this by many Of
the volunteers was that the regimental
surgeons were taken from their regi'
ments and sent to general hospitals.
Praise for Camp Wikoff was heard in
nearly all directions.

speech denouncing all leaders who had

ocrats. He referred to Grover Cleve-

ty and Senator Butler as a traitor to
the peoples party.
The session disclosed many differ
ences between the middle of the road
ers who were denouncing fusionists
as demoralizers. They were united
on the subject of such a permanent
reorganization as to prevent fusion or
desertion hereafter and on an inde-
pendent ticket for 1900, but there were
wide differences as how to prevent
fusion and desertions and how to
name the candidates. As the commit
tee on credentials had not reported,
the convention adjourned until to-day.
