STOCK OF FLAGS.

Said to he Exhausted, and 1t Is Impossi-
BILE to Supply the Demand.
The stock of American flags has been
practically exhausted, and the unprcce-
denied demand has caused n rise IN
prices, which, it was stated the other
day, is in some cases as high as 70 to
100 per cent AT one wholesale head
quarters it was stated that sufficient
bunting to make the flags could not be
obtained, and at another it was said
that the flags could not DO made fast
enough.
At tho largest flag factory in Phila-
delphia the manager said that he had
never known such demand for the
star spangled banner. All manufactur-
ers and dealers are sold out. There is a
great demand from stores, but orders
cannot be filled. The call is general,
and kilograms from all over the United
States are received to hurry orders.
Among the kilograms received was
one from an Illinois man, who asked for
flag which would probably be the lar
gest ever made. He wanted one $50 by
500 feet and said that his purpose was
TO cover the side of hill with it, 1t
was estimated that two tons of bunting
would be required to make the flag.

task of making the huge bannAr.-Chl-

THE ALGER coMMIssIoN.
Not Known Whether Those Invited
Will Serve

washington Sept, 11.-At the White
House no statement was made tonight
as to the status of the commission to
inquire into the administration of army
bureaus, although it was understood
that most of the gentlemen invited n,'
the president to serve on the commits
sion had been heard from. Some or
them. however, had written that they
had the matter under consideration,
and it was thought to be desirable 10
await final conclusions by all vi those
asked to serve before making any an
nouncement.
1t appears to be accepted among high
officials that General Gordon, Mr.. La
mont and Mr.. Lincoln are not likely to
accept The eX-secretaries OF war are
very busy men of affairs, and it is
thought to be hardly probable that
they can spare the time for the work
of the commission 1t was reported
that Mr.. Lamont's declination had been
received. but this. on inquiry, failed OF
confirmation. The opinion was eX-
pressed by high officials that General
Henderson, Colonel Sexton and DR..
Keen might serve. AS stated, however.
some of the gentlemen have written
that they had the matter under advise
ment. and there is considerable doubt
what the result viii be.
The war department had compare
lively quiet day although the adju-
tant generals office was open through
out the day, expediting the mastering
out and furloughing of troops in va
rious sections. General Corbin made
his usual call on the president tonight
to sum up the developments of the day,
but he said there was nothing of an
important character. No word had
come from Manila. There are no more
volunteer troops at Montauk Point, II
regiments of regulars being the only
troops remaining, except those detained
in hospitals. General Corbin says Camp
Wikoff has practically completed the
service for which it was established,
but that no final conclusion has been
reached yet as to ordering away the
remaining regulars and disposing of the
camp.

CHANGES AT CAMP WIKoFF.
Believed That Regulars Will Be Sent
to Army Posts.

Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, Sept.
ia fall of ten degrees in the tenn
perature was experienced last night.
The cold wave was accompanied by
high wind, which, for several hours,
threatened to blow down the tents.
The storm moderated towards morn
ing.
The first three trains that arrived to-
day brought from New York a large
number 'of Sunday visitors, who spent
several hours inspecting the camp.
The transport Saratoga arrived from
Santiago today with about 60 members
of the signal corps, in command of
Lieutenant Colonel Frank Green.
/. The Saratoga also brought $50 negro
laborers, who were sent to Santiago
several months ago to act as teamsters,
drivers stevedores, etc. Two of the
negroes died of malarial fever on the
voyage Twelve men were sick when
the steamer reached here and were
taken to the detention hospital. None
of the cases are considered serious.
The members of the signal corps
aboard were taken to the detention
camp. The Saratoga viii be fumigated
and will then go to New York, where
the negroes will land.
Colonel Roosevelt expects to have his
regiment Of rough riders mustered out
on Thursday, when the men will go to
their kones. The officers and men of
the regiment are preIsring to present
to Colonel Roosevelt d testimonial of
their regard, in the form of a small
bronze statue, designed by Frederick
Remin-ton, the artist.
The general belief in Camp Wikoff
today is that great changes will be seen
here before the present week is over.
Reports are circulated freely that Gen.
eral Miles has assumed the active di-
rection of the affairs of the camp, and
that he intends to have all regular
troops removed from here as soon as
possible. and sent to regular army
posts.
General Bates. who is now in COM
mand of Camp Wikoff, admitted today
that new orders had been received from
Washington City for the disposition of
soldiers here, and the general under
standing is that they will all be moved
aWay as rapidly as possible.

REVIEW OF TROOPS.
Miles Orders Parade of His Soldiers
at New York.

New York, Sept 11.-Deputy Quar-
! termaster Colonel Kimball today re-
ceiyed an order from General Miles,
setting forth that a parade of the re-
1 turning Porto Rican troops will take
/ place in this city on Saturday next.
Colonel Kimball was instructed to pre-
pare a suitable camp for the men, who
are on their way from Ponce in the
! government transports.
As soon as Colonel Kimball received
/ the order he communicated with Gov
ernor Voorhees, of New Jersey to con-
4 suit as to the establishment of a tenn
porary camp at Seagirt. Early in the
war Governor Voorhees, offered to the
war department the use of the camp at
! Seagirt, and the site was inspected
by the surgeon generals assistants.
The mess halls and the kitchens erect
ed and the accommodations for the
troops are said to be excellent. There
( is plenty of water, and the camp is in
/ a healthy location. Colonel KEnball
desires to know if the camp is still
available. No agreement was reached
today, though it is probable that the
camp at Seagirt will be used
The transports COncho and Alamo
are on their way from Ponce and they
are expected to arrive this week
Though none of the arrangements have
Deen decided upon, II is more than
probable that the event will be made
the occasion of a grand review of all
the troops that are able to take part,
whether they have taken part in the
| Porto Rican campaign or not. The
troops that arrived in the city in the
Mississippi will take part in the pa
rade. This includes troops A and c, as
well as the Pennsylvania troops that

TO investigate the condition of the com

ness among the soldiers, General Alger
said:
The whole trouble has been in the
volunteer troops not knowing how to
care for themselves. and carelessness
in warding off disease. The regular
men have not been troubled as the vol
unteers have. They have had yellow
fever. and fevers from exposure in the
trenches before Santiago, but their
general health has been good, and the
proportion of sickness and deaths from
sickness IS very small

of regulations that will be better may
