OPPOSED TO THE PROJECT.
Action in the Senate on Mr.. Proctor's
Resolution.


Senator Daniel yesterday called up the
resolution offered few days ago by Sen
ator Proctor providing for select COM
mittee of the Senate to visit Cuba and
Porto Rico for the purpose of gaining in'
formation in regard to the present con-
ditions prevailing there, so as to be of
assistance to the Senate in framing leg
islation looking to a municipal govern
ment-
Senator Hale, who has heretofore OBJ
jected to the consideration of the resolu-
tion on the ground that the committee
was not only useless, but would be in
the way of the Administrations military
government, called for the reading of
the resolution, and demanded the yeas
and nays on Senator Daniels motion 10
take it up for consideration.
The vote disclosed the fact that no
quorum was present, as eight senators
voted for the motion and thirty against
it. Senator Hale then demanded cali
of the Senate, giving notice that should
a quorum be secured he should move an
executive session, which order prevailed.
as forty-seven senators answered to their
names.

Selection of Camp AIger.


Gen. Miles said he had recommended
sending troops to Chickamauga Park, Jut
had no idea that 75.0o0 men were going
TO be sent there. He replied 10 the state
ment from the adjutant general about
the selecting of camps. Gen. Corbin had
credited the selection of Camp Aiger to
Gen Miles, who said:
Il had nothing to do with Camp Aleer.
Major Seabury, who is reported to have
recommended it, was detailed to my head
quarters. but he reported direct to the
Secretary of War.
He did not recommend Camp Alger but
suggested other localities His report was
made to the Secretary on May 10. and
received copy of it on May %. AT that
time, no less than dozen regiments had
gone to the place selected"
Gen Miles declared that Fernandina
and Miami were good places for camp
sites.
What criticism, if any, have you to
make about the selection of any camp
Sites" was asked.
In my opinion Camp Alger was the
most objectionable. 1t was low ground
and lacked facilities for bathing. There
are three things necessary for men
cleanliness. shelter and proper food"
Gen Miles explained in detail the prfn-
cipal reason FOR his objection to sending
troops to Cuba in the beginning. 1t had
not been definitely determined where
cervera's fleet was and should troops be
sent to Cuba and the American fleet be
destroyed the soldiers would be left on
the island without means of getting home.
while the Spanish fleet could blockade
the American coast He was. therefore,
opposed to sending troops in large body

feet was determined

better than the position occupied by the

Gen. Miies's idea was that the. opera
hons were precIpitated prematurely. that
II the men had had time to rest and get
their supplies they would have been in
proper trim for the attack on Santiago.
Gen. Miles was asked about the supply
of medicines and declared that in his
opinion 1t was never sufficient. In a dis
patch sent by Gen. Shafter to the War
Department. he said, attention was called
to this condition, Gen. Shafter stating
that surgeons could not get all the medi-
cines needed. He added:
