Of Watsou's squadron, which, in all

TROOPS ARE IN
 FAIR CONDITION Camp Wikoff Not As Bad As Has
 Been Reported. IS NO LACK OF MEDICINES Number of Sick Troops, but No Gases of Yellow Fever-Alger Says There
 Is No Room for Crit
 icisms.

New York, August 26.-Secretary Alger arrived In this city tonight and is at the Fifth avenue hotel. In an interview he said:
 'T did not find the condition of Camp Wikoff nearly as bad as had expected I cannot see that there is any justification in the talk that either the ill or well sol diers are not properly treated. I think there are sufficient accommodations for all soldiers who may go to Camp Wikon and especially now that so many there have been given furloughs. Thursday, received offers from New York and Brooklyn hos pitals to take at least 300 of the sick from the camp"
 Secretary Alger was asked: How do you account for the confusion and lack of facilities at Camp Wikoff?'
 To this General 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 with 1000.
 "To one who knows but little about sol- diering there may appear to be much con- fusion and privation, but it is only what is to be expected in roughing it. On many occasions myself have been in camp and have encountered these things. I found many soldiers lying with nothing but blanket between them and the ground Still there were thousands of bags in camp. asked the men why they did not fill the bags with straw of which there was large quantity in camp and so make beds for themselves. They said they had not thought of such thing"
 Then the secretary was asked again: You cannot see, then, that there is Justification for the complaints that have been made?"
 "None," he replied If there was any lack of medicines or necessary supplies the blame would be on those whose duty it was to order these things. The first day I went through the detention hospital and later the general hospital. talked with nearly every man who was awake. I said to all of them: Boys, is there anything you want?' They all answered: Nothing; we are quite comfortable.' A few of the men had no cots, but this was soon rem- edied. There are some few sick men, but there is no yellow fever. There is some typhoid. I saw some men there as yellow as any paint you ever saw, and nothing remained of them but skin and bones." Talking of Chickamauga camp, Secretary Alger said affairs were not in perfect con- dition there, but to the best of his knowl- edge, he said. the only men now there are those too i'll to be moved.

GIVEN A BANQUET
Returned Spanish Soldiers Concede Su-
 periority ofAmerican Artillery.

Madrid, August 26.-6 D. m.-The Spanish army officers who arrived on the steamer Alicante, which reached Corunna on the 2ith instant with the first of the Spanish repatriated soldiers, were given a banquet by representatives of the Madrid press at Corunna. The officers declared that both the American and Spanish nations adhered to the methods of civilized warfare through out the campaign. They conceded the su- periority of the American artillery.
 The cabinet was in session again today. Senor Sagasta said the government was principally occupied with the position of the troops that had capitulated at Manila. It would be better, he thought, to trans port them to the Viscaya Islands rather than bring them home, but the question must be decided by agreement with the American government. It depended upon whether or not the troops were considered prisoners of war.

BEGAN THE ADVANCE.
Anglo-Egyptian Forces Are Moving on
 Kerreri-War Dances by Natives.

Wady Hamed, August S.-The Anglo Egyptian forces began to advance yester- day. moving in five parallel columns at deploying distans+< They were led by Jalin guides, and by bands of pipers, who were playing. It was an imposing spectacle. The friendly natives on the opposite bank of the Nile indulged in delighted war dances. The camp is now wilderness of broken biscuit boxes and other rubbish.
 The Dervish scouts are active, and 1t is rumored that there IS Deryish force on the right bank of the river under command of the Emirs Seki and Wadbishara. It is also reported that the Khalifa is preparing to make stand at Kerreri seven miles north of Omduran and will defend the Mahdis tomb to the last.
