AN OLD FEUD AGAIN.
Two DusI<y Rivals, Who Once At
tempted Duel, Meet.

Some months ago Jack Strange and
Jim Russell attempted to decide by duel
which should have the hand of Essie Tay-
lor, but as the two bloodthrsty contestants
were about to open fire on each other the
police inconsiderately broke in between
them and took them to the police station.
Both the men and the woman are colored.
Though the duel was not held. Russell won
the dusky bride.
Last night he and his wife were in
Vaughn's saloon on Indiana avenue. just
above the Yellow bridge. Strange and
friend, Albert Green. entered the place and
Strange old passion, which once had urged
him 10 risk his life in a duel, aroused
by the sight of Mrs. Russell, nee Essie
Taylor. He suOke TO her softly, saying,

ire was aroused, and soon he and Strange
were engaged in real fight. Green at
tempted to play the peacemaker and Rus
sell struck him on the head with beer
bottle. cutting a deep cash. The fight con-
tinued out into the alley by the canal side.
At this juncture Russell struck Strange on
the forehead with a stone, laying the flesh
open. Both Strange and Green had enough
and they started for the City Hospital
Their wounds were dressed. and they were
afterward taken TO the police station. Rus

THOSE STARVATION COMPLAINTS.
AIger Finds They Gene from Typhoid
Pntients Who Must BE Diefed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Secretary AL
ger with Mrs Alger, paid a visit to the
hospital of Fort Myer last evening and in
spected the arrangement there for the treat
ment of the cases of fever coming from
Camp Alger These were found to be of the
first order. The surgeons in charge are sup
piled with everything conducive to the COM
fort of the patients that money can buy
1t was a noticeable fact that many of the
sick soldiers complained of hunger, and this
in spite of the fact that they are given all
the food that the nature of their ailment
will admit of. Few of the visitors to the
army hospitals who see the typhoid patients,
emaciated in appearance, calling for food
realize that to grant their desire for solid
food would be TO condemn the patients to
death: that the immediate result of the adj
ministration of any more than limited uuan-
titles of liquid food would cause perforation
of the inflamed intestnes. hemorrhage and
death. Secretary Ayers attention has been
strongly directed towards this fact by the
reports that come to him from the medical
officers of the field and garrison hospital
Major Taylor, the surgeon in charge at
Fort Mcpherson, Ga, hospital, has suffered
from adverse criticism based on the obser-
walton of inexperienced visitors. His state
ments exactly bear out the observation of
Secretary Alger as to the mistakes made in
assuming that the patients were underfed
Moreover, Major Taylor takes occasion to
show by figures just what he has done for
the patients in the way of food and atten-
ton. His bill for milk alone is $500 per
month. He has more ice than can be used
either for drinking purposes or for ice bags
and caps for the patients He provides a
special diet in especially arranged Kitchens
he has seventy-one trained nurses, over one
hundred hospital attendants, and employs
numerous laborers to clean the mess hall
and tents. The female nurses are indignant
at the criticisms that have been passed on
the hospital and Major Taylor pays high
tribute to the untiring devotion shown by
these nurses 10 their charges. Secretary AL
ger says these statements are but samples
OF those that come from all of the hospi-
tails and from unprejudiced observers whose
experience enables them to give a fair opin-
ion

WASHINGTON. Aug 3.-General Miles
not having yet turned IN to father those
offensive newspaper interviews, there are o
really substantial new developments to-day
in the controversy between the commanding
general of the army and Secretary Alger.
There is no question but these published
statements will constitute the foundation Of
courJ-martial proceedings if they are
avoNed and responsibility for them ac-
copied by Miles. Secretary Alger and Ad-
jutant General Corbin are both included in
the alleged statements of Miles.
This makes an Investigation by army Of
tcals, whether it take the form of court of
inquiry OF court-martial. unsatisfactory.
Indeed it is recognized on all hands that if
an investigation into army affairs is to be
had that will be satisfactory to the people
it must be by congressional committee.
No other body would have the necessary
power to summon witnesses, put them under
oath and compel them TO testify and to send
for persons and papers This congressional
investigation will be had, of that there Is
no doubt, but it will probably show that
whatever suffering there has been is really
due first to the fact that there was war,
and, secondly to the difficulty of elaborat-
ing a system of administration devised for
5000 men into a working system for ten
times that number without mistakes. fail
ures and blunders and consequent suffering.
One thing is noteworthy and that is that
it has not been charged in any quarter that
dishonesty any action of a criminal char
acter can be laid at the door of any official.
Meantime Miles's arrival in Washington is
awaited with absorbing interest
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1898-09-01

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3l.-It cannot be
said that Secretary Alger is Indifferent
to the many sensational stories that
are printed as to the conditions that prevail
in the great military camps, for his first
interest lies in the welfare of the individual
troops. But he said to-day that with a full
knowledge of the lack of foundation for
most of these, he deprecated such publ
atoms, not because of fear that the Amer
lean people would be mistaken in their I'M
derstandng of the actual facts, but rather
from an apprehension of the evil effect
such publications would produce abroad.
There the people who, with their full mill
tary training, knew just what hardships
must be encountered by troops in a cam
paign. and especially in military camps and
maneuvers, would regard with amused sur
prise the innumerable complaints that are
pouring forth upon the government here on
the preteXts that would be disregarded en-
tirely in Europe, and they could scarcely
fail to gain the impression that the Amer
lean people are lacking in soldierly quail
ties

rectlng all men absent from their posts to

mental commanders. Surgeons are required
to report the names of each man in their
charge to the regimental commanders of
such men. Another order states that all
books. papers, etc, are the property of the
United States and will be required in the
settlement of claims against the govern
ment and for this reason must be carefully
preserved. All soldiers, sick and wounded

Fever Alarming at Camp AIger.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S1.-An increase of
fever cases has caused some CONSERVATION
among the members of the Sixty-ffth New
York Regiment, which is soon to be mus
tered out. During the afternoon twenty
five such cases were reported, following a
record of fifteen yesterday. Ten men of the
seventh ONO, whose camp adjoins that of
the New Workers. were also sent to the hos
pltal suffering presumably with fever. A
number of the officers of the Sixty-ffth
New York called on General Goblin and
asked that if the regiment could not be
mustered out at once that it be sent TO Mid
dletoWn or some other place. No change.
however, is likely other than to some loca-
ton within the precincts of the camp.
