CAMP ALGER, Va, August S, 1905.
Both divisions of the I'd Corps are to be
encamped permanently at Thoroughfare
Gap, Va So much has been decided since
Maj. Gen. Buffers return from tour OF
inspection of the Manassas country. The
site on which Gen. Butler and Engineer
Officers Lusk and Egery have fixed is at
tie base of Pond and Bull mountain. and
Is trayersed by Broad Run. Drinking
water will be obtained from a spring at
Beverly Mills about two miles distant
from the camp According to the tests
made by Col. Lusk this spring yields about
10000 gallons of clear cold water day.
Arrangements have been made with the
officials of the Virginia Midland railroad
to draw the water to the various regiments
in camp in engine tenders. Thoroughfare
Gap is about Twelve miles west of Manas-
sas Junction
Gen. Davis has been directed to proceed
at once to Thoroughfare Gap with the I'd
Division, and is expected to reach there
Wednesday about noon. Col Lusk and
Col Edgery, who remain behind. have
already mapped out the camp of Gen.
Davis command, and. although such
things are not strictly in their province,
they are making every effort to have all
preliminary arrangements for commissary
and quartermaster supplies completed be-
fore the I'd Division reports.
The 1st Division will not be able to start
until the baggage train now with Gen.
Davis returns to Camp Alger, which may
not be this week. If the wagons are
available, corps headquarters, division
headquarters, both division hospitals and
the eight regiments of the 1st Division will
leave Dunn Loring about Tuesday.
Typhoid Fever Diminishing.
Much relief is expressed everywhere at
the rapid diminution of typhoid. Neither
division has had more than ten new cases
al day since Wednesday. Today's record
includes but sixteen cases, most of them
being only slight attacks. There is almost
no other sickness in camp. The staff Off
GERS, who have given the matter consider
able attention OF late, are therefore in
clned to believe that the epidemic resulted
from continued occupation of one tract of
land.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BRISTOW, Va, August Seen. Davis
in company with Coils. Lusk and Edgerly,
left Bristow yesterday and went to Ttor-
oughfare Gap to locate the permanent
camp. When seen this morning, Gen. Davis
said the camp of the ID Division was TO be
located at Beverly Mills, where an abun-
dant supply of water could be secured for
all purposes. One spring in the place has
a f1owage of 10000 gallons per minute, and
Broad run is clear and pure. There may be
a little difficulty at first, but the eng;neerG
are at work remedying these matters. The
location for each regiment has been chosen
and the water supply arranged for.
Rations will be reshipped by rail- and
the wagon train will start in advance to
avoid making the troops endure hunger
longer than necessary. Fresh meat and
fresh bread were issued yesterday evening
for the first time since the march began.
Eighteen men are now in the field hospital,
none of whom Will be sent to Fort Meyer.
Great Indignation is expressed by the
Tennessee troops at the sensational reports
of attempted assault on a little girl by a
member of that regiment while at Clifton.
The report Is wholly unfounded, and Gen.
Davis. in command of the division. denies
emphatically that such a thing took place
Other reports about the slaughter of cattle
are included in the denial.
