Has Been Pictured.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2e.-secretary AL
ger arrived in this city tonight, and IS
at the Fifth Avenue hotel. In an in
terview he said:

L cannot see that there is any iusttfl-
cation in the report that either the III
or we'll soldiers are not properly kept.
1 saw sufficient accommodations for
all soldiers that will go to Camp WI
koff, especially now that many have
been given furloughs."
How do you account for the con-
fusion and lack Of facilities at Camp
Wikoff?"
To this, Gen. Alger replied: did
you ever go into camp with 100 or
even fifty men? If SO. you know there
is much confusion with that number
OF men. If there was any lack Of sup
plies or medicine, those whose duty It
was to furnish these things would be
to blame"
Talking of the Chickamauga caur,
Secretary Alger said affairs were not
In perfect condition, but. to the best
OF his knowledge, he said, the only
men now there are those who are too
i'll to be moved.

the gates the crowd increased, and
amid deafening cheers the admiral and
his wife, the former with hat off, pass
ed through two solid lines of people. A
lieutenant and squad Of police with
difficulty cleared a passageway to the
carriage which was in waiting.
Through a mass Of vehicles that had
been drawn up by curious drivers, the
hanson pulled into Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and proceeded directly to the
Shoreham hotel. There were groups Of
cheerers all the way, and a cavalcade
Of cyclists formed a voluntary escort.
The admiral stayed only a few min
utes at the hotel, and then drove over
to the navy department, where, with
out any prelminaries, he reported di-
rectly to Acting Secretary Allen. The
latter accompanied him over to the
White house, reaching there at 4:50.
The president gave him g. most cor
dial reception. The president thanked
the admiral, as he had Admiral Samp-
son, for the success Of that memorable
engagement Of July g. and took occa-
sion to say that it was that battle
which brought about the surrender Of
Santiago.
The president then entered into dis
cussion Of the work of the Porto Rican
commission, to which the admiral has
been appointed. He went over with
him the general instructions which will
guide the body In arranging for the
departure Of the Spanish from the
island and other work. During most
Of the conference, which occupied about
an hour, Assistant Secretary Of State
Moore was present.
On leaving the president the admiral
drove to his hotel. He said his health
had improved greatly. He will have
another conference with Acting Secre-
tary Of the Navy Allen tomorrow morn
ing, and probably early in the after
noon will leave for New York. From
there he will go back to Westport,
Conn. He will spend a few days there
before returning here, preliminary to
taking up his duties with the commits
sion.
Many Of the friends Of the admiral
and Mrs. Schley learned of their pres
ence at the hotel and called during
the evening. Although considerably
CGCI6r, ne Is uOI well, aItO BdlO tonight
he expected to leave here tomorrow
to visit relatives in Maryland, which
propably will consume several days,
after which he will go to Connecticut
to remain until about time to start
for Porto Rico. Some ship other than
the Brooklyn, he said, would be select
ed for this purpose, as the Brooklyn
was about to undergo needed repairs.
The admiral during the evening talked
briefly Of some Of the principal Incl
dents Of the fight which led to the
destruction of Cervera's squadron, and
Of some other pertinent matters new
at this time, new features Of which, he
said, were recurring to him as time
passed by. He said:
"It Is my opinion that the Spanish
admiral might have escaped with pos
sibly one or two Of his ships, had he
adopted different tactics tn coming out
of the harbor. Had he diverted the
course Of his ships, sending some Of
them east and others to the west, 1t Is
my belief that he might have escaped
with one or possibly two Of the ves-
sells. Such a course naturally would
have compelled us to separate our
fleet, and some Of Cervera's ships
might have been able to have reached
Havana"

SHERMAN FOR GOVERNOR.

Rumor That the Venerable States
man May Make the Race.
COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 26.-A passing
through visit of John Sherman and his
call on the governor started the cred
lted runIor that the venerable senator
would like to round out his career by
a term as governor of the state. Mr..
Sherman's political intlmaItes broadly
hint that he is ready to accept a propo-
sition Of the kind. Mr.. Sherman was
closeted with Gov. Bushnell for some
time. Judge David F. Pugh Is credited
with being the chief local promoter Of
the Sherman boom. Mr.. Sherman has
never before done the Bushnell-Kurtz
faction the honor of discussing public
affairs, and the incident has caused
much curious speculation. Mr.. Sher-
man, characteristically reticent, refus-
ed to discuss expansion or any other
current problem. He is apparently in
splendid health.

PRICE TWO CENTS s-,srE;,Is; srys Ss;:

States government will soon appoint an
experienced business man to arrange q
tariff for Manila, and thus remove the
dissatisfaction which exists over the
retention Of the Spanish tariff.
The family Of Senor Cortez, one of
the wealthiest Filipinos, will return 10
Manila tomorrow and Senor Cortez
will strive to recover his property
there, which was confiscated by the
Spaniards owing to the aid which he is
alleged to have given to Aguinaldo.
Senor Cortez assured President Nc
Kinley Of his allegiance to America,
through Consul General Wildman, on
May 6, and he now trusts to recover
all his property. He says that the
family mansion is occupied by the
Spanish commanders and denies that
he gave aid, as alleged, to Aguinaldo.

Deluge In Porto Rico Does Much

PONCE, Porto Rico. Aug. 2s.-A del
uge from the mountains today flooded
the rivers and the bridge between the
town and port was destroyed. This will
prevent Gen. Miles attending a recep-
tion given in his honor by Porto P1cans
at the leading club tonight, and will
probably cause much Inconvenience in
transportation Of troops who are re-
turning home. Several camps were
washed out.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-The presi-
dent has received the following letter
from Gen. Joseph Wheeler,
Camp Wikof. Montauk Point, New York
Aug. N.-President of the United States:
was very glad to hear that you would visit
Montauk Point very soon. The visit Of the
secretary OF war has accomplished more than
can express. He has promptly corrected
evils made valuable suggestions and given
directions regarding administration. In addi-
ton, his personal visit to 1900 sick soldiers
IN the hospitals has cheered them up, and
1T Is difficult to adequately convey to you the
cnange for the better since the secretary's
arrival. The announcement that you would
visit the soldiers has already added to this
Improvement, and your presence here for
even single day will accomplish good. the
great extent OF which you can realize only
after you have made your visit.

to straighten out things they Say that he
only adds to the confusion. The nurses call
him oold-blooded. They are afraid Of him
and the hospital stewards avoid him as much
as possible. They do not go to him with
information or suggestions OF complaints, be-
cause he does not receive them kindly, and
as consequence he knows little of what
is going on within his jurisdiction. Col. For
wood complains that the noble women who
are working here as volunteer nurses are
''insubordinate' and interfere with the "dis-
cipline' of the hospital.

GUILTY OF MURDER.
Verdict ia the Collins Case at Topeka
Kansas.

| Topeka, Kas, Dec 24-The most
remarkable trial in the history Of
Kansas came to close TO night when
John Henry Collins, on trial for the
past two weeks, charged with killing
dis father, was found guilty Of muir
der in the frst degree.
st 9 clock to night the jury re-
ported that il had rescned a verdict
| Judge Hszen requested that the
prisoner be brought in and then call
ed for ths juries finding.
Collins maintained his wonderful
nerve at this crisis, showing not the
slightest emotion.
He sat erect IN his chair looking
straight at the judge. Not muscle
twitehsd nor finger moved. He
heard the verdict without exhibiting
the least feeling and then turned
with seeming carlessness to his law
yers and began a whispered CONVEX
sation.
He walked TO tho Jail without
speaking Taking half burned
cigar from shelf in bis cell, he
struck a match and, while waiting
for it to blaze up, said with perfect
GOODNESS, "Well, this is sad
Christmas present"
Then he lighted his cigar The
sheriff watched him in wonder 10
see If his hand would tremble. There
was not a tremor.
The jury was unanimous on the
verdict of guilty of murder ia the
FIRST degree.
Judge Hazsn, who tried the case,
says he thinks Collins can have 10
hope for new trial,
