BoyntOn Ordered to Report Fully
All Facts Pertaining to the Chick
nmauGa Camp, and TO Name Faulty
Persons in HIS Report.
Washington, Aug. 26.-Adjt. Gen. Cor
bin says no complaint has reached the
war department from major general, brig
adler general, colonel or men of the army
regarding want of, destituton or lack Of
supplies for the care of the troops, No
demand has been made for supplies fur
ther than the regular requisition for
troops, which come in the ordinary rout-
inc way.
Gen. Corbin declined to be interviewed
on the subject of any stories aaoat re-
garding destitution and mismanagement
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 bureau believes that an inyesti-
cation of the subject will vindjcate him
and his department.
The officers in Washington say with re-
gard to the accounts of suffering further
than the incidents of war naturally would
bring about, the fault has not been with
the officers of the department here. Ea eh
officers processes to be ready and willing
that there should be an investigation.
One of the complaints which had been
made was in regard to the Eighth New
York at Chickamauga 1t is stated at the
war department that Cen Boynton, in
command at Chckamauga has been or
dered 10 nike a thorough and complete in
vestigaton of the hospitals a that place
to ascertain how the men have fared and
report all the facts to the department. If
there has been any shortcomings he is
instructed to ascertain who is responsible
and to include the names of those found
faulty in his report
There seems to have been neglect in
carrying out the order of the department
No 116, which allowed 60 cents a day to
all soldiers in hospitals, Che amount TO
be a general fund from which could be
drawn money TO purchase delicacies. The
surgeon generals Office complains that
other orders sent out have not received

the order has been disregarded and why.

GERS and soldiers who have returned from
Santiago de Cuba bitterly accuse the
Americans of unfulhlled promises made
at the time of the capitulation of Santi-

The Americans. they say. forced the
Spanish troops to encamp on spot
where hundreds of corpses of the Spanish
defenders Of Ell Caney were buried. The
rains almost unearthed the bodies, tho

Secretary Alger Declares Camp
WikOR in Good Condition.

WikOff in Good Condition.
New York, Aug. 26.-Secretary Alger ar
rived in this city Tonight, and is at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel In an interview, he
said; 81 did not find the condition of
Camp Wikoff nearly as bad as I had ex-
pected. 1 cannot see that there is any
justification in the talk that either the i'll
or well soldiers are not properly treated.
I think there are sufficient accommoda-
ton 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 account for the confusion and lack of
facilities at Camp Wikoff?"
To this Gen. Alger replied: "Did you
ever go into camp with 100 or even fifty
men? If so, you know there is much con-
fusion with that number of men What
do you suppose it must be then with thou
sands? To persons who know but little
about soldering there may appear to be
much confusion and prIvauons but 1t is
only what is to be expected in roughing it,
I found many soldiers lying with nothing
but a blanket between them and the
ground Still there were thousands Of
bags in the camp. l asked the men why
they did not fill the bags with straw, Of
which there was 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 cannot see that there is justihca-
ton in the complaints which have been
made?"
None" he replied. 'ff there was any
lack of medicines or necessary supplies
the blame would be on those whose duty
il was TO order these things. The first day
/ went through the detention hospital ard
later the general hospital, / talked with
nearly every man who was awake l said
to all Of them: Boys, is there anything
you want% They all answered. Nothing,
we are quite comfortable few Of The
men had no cots, but this was soon reme-
