HEAND ALoER DEAR FRIENDS.
Gen. shafter Says Talk of Friction Be-
ween Him self and Miles is Poppycock.

Camp Meade, Middletown, Pa, sep
TENDER 9.-Secretary of War Alger and
Gen. Shafter were at Camp Meade today.
They witnessed review of the troops and
made hurried tour of the camp. Gen.
Alger resumed his journey at noon to
Detroit and Gen. Shafter went to Wash
ington. They were closeted together an
hour this morning in the secretary s prl-
yate car, which was run on to siding az
Camp Meade station.
Gen. Shafter said the secretary was a
very dear friend and that they hao oeen
in the ciyil..war together as colonels he
is at work on his report of the Santlago
campaign and expects to complete III TO-
morrow. Speaking of the controversy Win
Gen. Miles he said:
ut is all poppycock. There is no fric.
ton between Gen. Miles and myseI; Al
least there was not when he left Santi-
ago. Our relations have always been
pleasant and do not understand the
meaning of all this talk. The general
NAV have been talking, but pelieve
that much of it is due to antagonistic
newspapers whose motives are certainty
not patriotic. NJ.

who is suffering from camp fever aud
was too weak to witness the review Gen
Shafter brought with him his aid, Major
Miley, and little Cuban boy, whom he
took a fancy to while in Santiago ana
adopted.
Generals Alger and Shafter were driven
to Gen. Graham's headquarters ID an open
carriage with Col Hecker and Major Hop
kius, special aides to the secretary. After
being received by Gen. Graham and staff,
the secretary was asked if he would like
a review. He said he would, and the
entire corps of 10000 troops was massed
Gen. Graham and his distinguished
guests. 1t was an inspiring sight and
Secretary Alger and Gen. Shafter was
very much pleased. Both said they Were
delighted with the camp and the superb
arrangements. Secretary Alger compli
mented Chief Surgeon Girard on the SAM
tary condition Of the camp, and gave
directions to extend the water system to
the general and auxiliary hospitals.
Gen. Alger will spend week at his
home in Detroit, after which he will make
a tour of all the camps, beginning at
Cincinnati, going to Lexington, Knox
vile, Chattanooga and as far south as
jacksonville.
When asked what he had to say about
the criticisms of the war department. the
secretary replied that the people have no
idea of the task of equipping and sending
an army across the waters.
''The war department." he added. tasks
no favor, all it wants and expects is fair
treatment.
Gen, Shafter was delighted with the ap-
pearance and condition of the men at
Camp Meade and said it was an ideal
location. He expects to meet Gen. Miles
tomorrow in Washington. He said the
Santiago campaign was one of the most
successful in history. His army was in
a position where he could not retreat and
it was necessary to force the fighting.
Many chances were taken. which would
not have been taken in the face of any
army than that Of Spain.
