No Justification for the Complaints Made,
Says Secretary Alger.
New York, Aug. 27.-Secretary Alger
arrived in this city last night. In an
interview he said: "I did not find the
condition of Camp wikoff nearly as bad
as 1 had expected. 1 cannot see that
there is any justification in the talk
that either the i'll or the well soldiers
are not properly treated. L think there
are sufficient accommodations for all
soldiers who will go to Camp Wikoff,
and especially now that SO many there
have been given furloughs.'
Secretary Alger was asked How do
you accountfor the confusion and lack
af facilities at Camp Wikof?"
To this General Alger replied: Did
you ever go into camp with 100, or even
fifty, men? If so you know there is
much confusion with that number of
men. What do you suppose it must be
then with thousands? To a person who
knows but little about soldering there
may appear to be much confusion and
privatfon, but it is only what is to be
expected in roughing it, On many occa-
sions myself have been in camp and
have encountered these things. 1 found
many soldiers lying with nothing but a
blanket between them and the ground.
Still there We're thousands of bags in
camp. I asked the men why they did
not fill. the bags with straw, of which
there were a large quantity in camp.
and so make beds for themselves. They
said they had not thought of such a
thing
Then" the secretary was asked
again. you canot see that there is
justification in the complaints which
have been made?"
None" he replied "If there was any
lack of medicines or necessary supplies
the blame would he on those whose duty
1t was to order these things. The first
day 1 went through the detention hos
pital and later the general hospital, and
I talked with nearly every man who
was awake. said to all of them, Boys,
is there anything you want? They all
answered, Nothing; we are quite COM
fortabIe'"

Gov. Tanner the White House.

Washington, Aug. %. - Among the
callers upon the president last night
was Governor Tanner, of Illinois. One
Of the objects of the call was the desire
on the part of the governor to ascertain
what disposition was to be made of the
Illinois volunteers, and to arrange, if
possible, for the early mastering out of
such of the Illinois troops as desired to
return to their homes. Another mat
ter in which the governor is interested
is that of the reimbursement to the
state of about 100000 expended by it
in connection with the maintenance of
the volunteers pending their acceptance
by the national government.

Suffering of Soldiers.
Washington, Aug. 27.-Genefal Cor
bin, adjutant general of the army. says
no complaint has reached the war de-
partment from any major general,
brigadier general, colonel or men of the
army regarding want or destitution or
lack of supplies for the care of the
troops. No demand has been made for
supplies other than the regular requisi-
tions for troops which come in the ordi-
nary routine way. General Corbin de-
clined to be interviewed on the subject
CT the many stories afloat regarding
destitution and acknowledgement of the
war. saying that the facts Will come out
in due time. and the people will see for
themselves what was done. The whole
department is greatly stirred over the
many newspaper accounts of what has
been going on, and it was the subject
of discussion everywhere about the war
department, but apparently each head
OF a bureau believes that an investiEa-
tion of the subject Will vindicate him
and his department.
The officers in Washington say that
the accounts of suffering have been ex-
aggerated. but If there has been suf-
fering further than the incidents of
war naturally would bring about the
fault has not been with the officers in
the department here. Each officer pro-
fesses to be ready and willing that there
should be an investigation. Some Off
GERS say it will be necessary and well
come a complete congressional inquiry
which will bring out all the facts One
of the complaints which had been made
was in regard to the Eighth New York

1t is stated at the war department
that General Boynton. in command at
Chickamauga, had been ordered ia
make a thorough and complete investi-
cation of the hospitals at that place to
ascertain how the men have Jared, and
report all the facts to the department
If there have been any shortcomings he
is instructed to ascertain who is respon-
sible and to include the names Of those
found faulty in his report Officers of
the war department deprecate the man
ner in which complaints have been
made. on the ground that the whole
matter will discredit the American
army and have a bad effect on dis
cipline.
The soldiers, they say. will be made to
believe that they have been badly
treated. that they are being imposed
upon. and al some juncture it may re-
suit in mutiny and INSTRUMENTATION. for

Men Sick and Hungry.

New York, Aug. 27.-When the Sth
Ohio landed, nearly 800 were reported
sick and were sent to the general hos
pital. but it developed that 40 of the
sick men were suffering from
hunger. When they were fed they
were able to leave the hospitals. They
repeated the stories of hardship en-
countered coming up from Cuba, and
said it was almost impossible to got
food. One hundred and fifty men in
the general hospital were allowed to
go on 90 days furloughs, as they had
improved.
Some of the nurses in the general
hospital at Camp Wikoff are suffering
from dysentery. Orders were issued
today that they be given more time to
themselves III which TO exercise, bathe
and rest. More iarses arrived today
and will reach camp ready to take the
places of those overworked until all
needed are there.

Wisconsin regiments in Porto Rico be
mustered out instead of the First. He
said the First Wisconsin was one of the
best regiments in his command, and
he was anxious to retain it
Governor Scofield telegraphed General
Lee that the two regiments most avail
able for mastering out were the Fourth,
at Camp Douglas. and the First, at
Jacksonville He declined to change his
recommendation that the First and
Fourth be the two regiments mustered
out. The oolonels of these regiments
are the juniors OF the other coionels.
