Found Things Better Than BE Ex-
pected at Camp Wikotf.

New York, August 26.-Secretary Al
ger arrived in-this city tonight and is
at the Fifth avenue hotel. In an inter-
view he said: Il did not find the con-
dition Of Camp Wikoff nearly as bad as
had expected. l cannot see that there
is any justification in the talk that
either the i'll or the we'll soldiers are
net properly treated. l think there

Have you realized

Particularly true, now that the couns
try is a United States possession. Scarce

CO 'ntry of grand possibilities for capi-
tai and enterprise. And also that the
makes it possible to secure the very
finest Sugar, Tobacco, Fruit, and
Timber growing lands at a mere frac-
ton of their value. But, single hand
ed, the man of average means Is help
less to avail himself of this opportu-
nifty. Money is needed to make
money there, and, realizing this, the
Cuban Land and Trading Company
was formed-a syndicate of small in
vestors. BY co-operating-clubb ng to-
gether, as ii were-the many small
amounts become large capital, by
which the plan of buying, selling, AMI
developing of Cuban and Porto Rican
lands is undertaken. Representatives
of operations and negotiations are
now pending for the purchase cf huge
tracts of Cuban lands The whole en-
terprise is practical-tnere are no Wis
1onary enthusiasts In II. More men,
bers are wanted-not many-as the
amount of stock offered is limited and
