OREGON is THE PRIZE.
Spanish Fleet Hopes To Intercept the
Battleship.

Washington, May 13-Te.egram to Ihe
Constitution.-Is the battleship oregon IN
danger of capture?
In the hurry and excitement of naval
preparations this question has played JUS
part in stirring up the officials to eXpedl-
tious action.
1t Is suggested that the Spanish
squadron has been lying in wait for the
Oregon, which with the Marietta snd
Nictheroy, sailed on the 18th from Bahia
TO join Sampson and the reported activity
of the Spanish torpedo boat destroyerS
in running in and out of Martinique seems
to show that they are being used as scouts
to give the rest of the squadron nodce
of the approach of the American battle
ship.
If so the mission will be fruIuess, for
having discovered the whereabouts of the
Spanish force. Admiral Sampson viii AIRY

can reach them.
The Race Around the Cape.
The race Of the oregon around the cape
has been watched with unabated interest.
Starting from San Francisco, when there
was no talk of war, she was at sea when
that conflict became a fact. and being in
ignorance of the changed state of affairs
she would have been an easy prey for tie
Spaniards. This was increased when it
was discovered that the Spanish
torpedo gunboat Temcrario was in
MontcVideO harbor for tie purpose
of interceptng Iar. The Oregon
passed her however, ana was next
heard from in Rio De Janeiro. She was
then considered safe and SoiiIitude ceased.
But three days ago the OREGON. accom-
panied by The Marietta and Nictheroy
put to sea agoin and their next stop would
be at Nartnique, where the Spanish fleet

EVERYTHING is SERENE.

Washington. Aug. "a few days
ago Secretary Alger issued an order TO
General II. v. Boynton, now at Chicka-
mauga park. to make a thorough and
searching investigation OF all the hos
pitfalls in Camp Thomas and to report in
stantly any lack OF attention to the In
mates, any inefficiency in the medical
offices or any need Of supplies Of what
ever kind. General Boynton's attention
was directed TO the sensational charges
made by one DIR. Terry against the con-
duct OF the hospitals at Camp Thomas,
and he was urged to make prompt re-
port Of the exact conditions as he should
find them. Sunday night the following
telegram was received by Adjutant
General Corbin: Have completed in
vestigation of hospitals under secre-
tary's orders. Result exceedingly ia
vorable in all essential features. The
facts effectually dispose of all recent
sensational adverse criticisms. etc."
The results OF the investigation afforded
the officials of the war department great
satisfaction.

= Washington, Aug. 29.-Nothing IL
talked Of but the probability OF an in
vestigation into the causes for the con-
ditions at the various camps. Every
body comedies that the facts will be
elected in one way, IL not In another.
Things have been going from bad to
worse. The several fever camps are
killing more and more soldiers every
day. II Is now said by good authorities
that Camp Wikoff Is the worst fever
camp yet established In the country,
and anything that can beat the record of
Camp Thomas and Camp Alger Is some
thing awful. There Is no Improvement
In the transports. The Yucutan, one
OF the last to arrive. is as bad as the
Seneca, the Concho and the Mobile.
Two hundred were brought home sick;
the remainder were hungry and ex-
hausted. Saturday morning there was
no food for the sick except army rations.
and these. not Of the best quality, were
left. The sick and suffering soldiers
would have had to go without break
fast but for General Joe Wheeler, who
heard of their awful condition and sent
proper supplies on board. The Yucutan
came from Santiago without doctors,
nurses or attendants sufficient to make
the sick comfortable; without proper
supplies or medicines; in short, the
Yucutan came up in the same condition
that the other horror ships have come.
General Egan OF the commissary de-
partment declares that the responsibility
for any mismanagement of the affairs
OF his department at Montauk Point
must be looked for there: that he is now
personally responsible for the expense
attached to providing articles not In
cluded in the army ration asked for by
General Wheeler.
General Egan further said: II will
furnish the law on which base my
statement whenever 1t becomes neces-
sary. The law states what shall be
given to the soldiers. If anything is is
sued not authorized by law, the officer
so issuing or ordering this issue. is held
accountable to the treasury. The SOL
diers at Montauk Point have always
received everything allowed by law
that is, the ration established by con-
Eress. The president himself cannot
add to 1t. and any addition TO 1t must be
authorized by congress. No officer Is
allowed to take the law into his own
hands and disburse government money
according to his own opinion. and this
j regard as a wise provision of the law.
II he makes these disbursements he Is
therefore charged with them. I re-
peat that there was way by which the
delicies could have been furnished to the
sick. That way was shown in general
