who are III. He went TO Camp wlkoi
to ascertain for himself whether the
men in the ranks needed anything that
they were not getting. His orders were
that they should want for nothing, but
he desired personally to know whether
these orders were being carried out.
After several hours OF patient investiga-
tion he left camp satisfied that the men
were being as well cared for as they
could be in feld hospital. He took no
ofllclal's word for anything. He had
gone to the camp 10 see for himself, and
his conviction as to the conditions was
reached only after he had come In per-
sonal contact with those conditions. In
the hospitals he went from ward to
ward, almost from cot TO cot, stopping
every few seconds to talk to the sick
men and cheer them with kind express
sion OF a grasp OF the hand. II was an
experience not soon 10 be forgotten.
Such a visit as President Mckinley
made to Camp Wikof yesterday Is al
most unique in military annals. He
went 70 the camp equipped with knowl-
edge, Judgment and experience TO make
an Investigation. He had served in the
camp and in the field himself. and ne
knew Just what ought to be expected in
the circumstances. That he was rea-
sonabiy well satisfied with the condi4
tIons as ne found them is In itself a
guarantee that they are mot far wrong"
A rumor was given some currency
that the camp, having been found oy
the President 10 be unsuitable for its
purpose, was to be abandoned immedi-
ateiy. This Secretary Aiger pronounced
to be without foundation. 1t probably
grew out Of the order by the President
that the regulars at Camp Wlkofi, whose
former posts had been east OF the Mis-
slssippI river would proceed as soon as
possible to their old stations. Secretary
Alger said that this order had been de-
clded upon ten dayS ago and had no
possible relation to the condition OF the
camp.

from Havana that General Luis n.
Pando, the former commander Of the
Spanish troops at ManzanIllo. had se-
cretly fed from Cuba on the French
steamer Eotre Dame du salut for Spain

unfounded to-day. when the Ward liner
Philadelphia came to her dock on the
East River front General Pando was
the first Of the forty-eight passengers
who arrived from Havana on the vessel
to land. He was plainly dressed, and
wore nothing to indicate his rank In
the Spanish army. He looks more like
Frenchman than a spanlard, being
short and stout. and wearing thick
black beard. He claims to speak no
English. and after arranging for the
removal OF his pieces OF baggage drove
to hotel, where hen engaged suite

LONDON, Sept. 6.-Ths war cores
pondent of the Daily Telegraph, with
the Anglo-Egyptian forces, says:
"Khalifa Abdullah, with his harem,
and osman Dlgna, his principal gem
eral, managed to escape, but Abdullah's
banner and thousands OF prisoners are
in our hands. II IS estimated that 1900
Of the enemy were slain. Our total cas-
ualties were about 600.
Besides Col. Rhodes, another corras-
pondent was slightly wounded. Mr..

The war correspondent of the Daily
News says:
"our Victory was not easily or cheap
iy won. The dervish loss was enormous.
It is estimated that the killed Of the
enemy were no fewer than 5000.
"Our whole force was engaged IN the
fighting from $3.50 a. m. until sundown.
The dervishes displayed remarkable
bravery to the last. Instead Of waiting
for US IN Obdurman, where they could
have made a resistance that would
have cost US thousands OF lives, they
advanced to meet US. The sight was ex-
traordinary. Some 1900 men In four
brIgades attempted to rush our Zeriba.
with desperate gallantrY they were
repulsed, suffering huge loss. Our Max

The Standards war correspondent
also pays a tribute to the magnificent
courage Of the dervishes, but says:
"FoFtunatelV for US, their leaders
showed little or no wisdom IN chooslng
a battlefield. BY not occupying the nil
on our left front the enemy missed his
opportunity"
Describing the attempt Of the Bag
CARA llorsemen to retrieve the days for
tunes by final charge, the correspond
ent says:
''Dashing across the level stretch of
pebbly soil the Khnlifa's cavalry rode
madlV ut the steady line OF our infan-
try. Our troops awaited the charge
without fllnching. on came the der
wishes, but again the deadly fire poured
into them did It's work. Men and horses
fell thick and hardly rider in that des-
perate charge escaped.
"A large body Of the enemy's infantry,
undisnayed by the slaughter, eeould be
seen preparing to follow the cavalry,
but our field artillery and MaIlms de-
scending from the hill on which they
were posted came again into action, and
then the conflict entered new phase.
"The attack on our camp had been
repulsed, and the only question was
whether the defeat OF the enemy was
complete. 1t was not long before the
dervIshes were seen In full flight toward
the right, leaving their dead on the
field as they ned. Practically the whole
army of the KhalIfa was destroyed. Our
casualties number over 200.
our losses In the Zarlba, when the
enemy first attacked us, were small,
considering the number Of the enemy
Our artillery and rife fire was terribly
effective. The derVishes fought well,
displaying a courage that would have
seemed marvellous had we not known
their spirit"
