at Camp Alger. Many of the boys have
been expressing their grievances very
loudly and are not slow to state that
they believe Brig. Gen. Goblin has only
been fooling them, and that he is trying
to keep them from getting to the front
This statement has found an alarming
number of believers, and although the
regimental officers have done all in their
power to quiet the men, the latter grow
more abusive each day.
The boys of the Sixth are bound to
make a break for home on payday, and
In view of past trouble, the camp will
be heavily guarded, and ball ammunition
issued. Col School, of the Sixth, is
bound to keep his men within limits,
and they are just as determined to go
home.
Corporal Charles Alger, of Company F,
Fourth Missouri, was sent to the post
hospital this morning. suffering from ty-
phoid fever. Alger is a nephew of Sec
retary Alger, and a great favorite with
his uncle. Now that this last case has
appeared the boys think the Secretary
will give the typhoid epidemic at Camp
deavor to prevent its spread among the
troops.

Eighth Ohio, who was taken sick with
typhoid when the regiment left for San
tiago, has received his discharge and

sAMpsoN's REPORT.
Newspaper Opinions ON the Treat
ment Of COmmOdOre Schley.

Admiral SIMPSONS Official report. while ac
cording to Commodore Schley, a brief need Of
praise, is not calculated to raise the commander
Of the Atlantic squadron in popui,r Estimation
Pittsburg Dispatch. ."
He mentions Commodore Schley by name only
twice in his long and detailed report, and then
only to say that he did not overFule one of the
commodore's orders and that the commodo e's re-
port is forwarded with his own. The warmest
commentator he has for his gallant and dstin-
guished subordinate is half-hidden, away in
general panegyric upon the Ane behavior of all
the officers and men engaged.+HartfoId Courant.
Admiral Sampson was unfortunate in not being
present at the battle which has added so much
luster to the name OF the United States He
should have accepted that embarrassing acci-
dent with more philosophical grace than is ap-
parent in his report. He would have been wise
II he had promptly recognized. the vanity Of t-r-
ing to blockade the well-won prestige Of Coll
modore Schley-Baltimore Herald =.
Simpsons report reads as il II had been writ
ten in a cold storage vault instead Of under the
tropical skies Of Cuba In it he refers to Schley
by name only once, and then, as ;haying given
minor order. It is not a pleasant thing to criti.
ciEe a man in authority. but Sampson has laid
himself open not only to criticism, but also TO
censure. He is willing to taAe glory th1t does
not belong to him. and that Is a grave otfense.
II the President will find out Just what he is fit
ted for and send him to do It, the county will
be greatly pleased. He evidently is not fitted
to command feet.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

NFrOm Slhcinnhti InqulfcT.J
Eugene Saully, chairman OF the Indiana Re-
publican central committee. is strangely af.
ficted. Some time ago he became entirely blind,
and it was feared that he was hopelessly robbed
OF his sight er
Gradually his sight returned. so that he could
see indistinctly as he was led or driven about
the city, and he improved until something like
his old-time viaor was restored.
One day. while stopping at dorist's viewing q
handsome wreath of vines, his sight changed,
and for three weeks everything upon which he
looked. whether man or beast. fowl or plant,
showed bright color Of green,
In time this disappeared. Again his sight
has undergone . strange transformation. Now,
il he looks at his watch, the whole face Is .
cleaning sheet Of brass, but where the figures
stand there is q wealth Of blue Everything at
which he looks now appears the. same Speak
ing OF his peculiar ah1liction. VI. Sauiley says:
1T 10 not pleasant. when talking to . friend,
TO see instead Of genial face = hideous, bright
yellow countenance embroidered with wealth
Of blue"
