REVIEW OF TROOPS.
Miles Orders Parade of His Soldiers
at New York.

New York, Sept 11.-Deputy Quar-
! termaster Colonel Kimball today re-
ceiyed an order from General Miles,
setting forth that a parade of the re-
1 turning Porto Rican troops will take
/ place in this city on Saturday next.
Colonel Kimball was instructed to pre-
pare a suitable camp for the men, who
are on their way from Ponce in the
! government transports.
As soon as Colonel Kimball received
/ the order he communicated with Gov
ernor Voorhees, of New Jersey to con-
4 suit as to the establishment of a tenn
porary camp at Seagirt. Early in the
war Governor Voorhees, offered to the
war department the use of the camp at
! Seagirt, and the site was inspected
by the surgeon generals assistants.
The mess halls and the kitchens erect
ed and the accommodations for the
troops are said to be excellent. There
( is plenty of water, and the camp is in
/ a healthy location. Colonel KEnball
desires to know if the camp is still
available. No agreement was reached
today, though it is probable that the
camp at Seagirt will be used
The transports COncho and Alamo
are on their way from Ponce and they
are expected to arrive this week
Though none of the arrangements have
Deen decided upon, II is more than
probable that the event will be made
the occasion of a grand review of all
the troops that are able to take part,
whether they have taken part in the
| Porto Rican campaign or not. The
troops that arrived in the city in the
Mississippi will take part in the pa
rade. This includes troops A and c, as
well as the Pennsylvania troops that
returned with them.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. n.-Secretary
Alger tbs afternoon expressed him
self as we'll pleased at the president s
selection Of members of the committee
TO investigate the condition of the com
n-issary, quarterma ster and medical de-
partments of the war department dur
ing the war On the subject of sick
ness among the soldiers, General Alger
said:
The whole trouble has been in the
volunteer troops not knowing how to
care for themselves. and carelessness
in warding off disease. The regular
men have not been troubled as the vol
unteers have. They have had yellow
fever. and fevers from exposure in the
trenches before Santiago, but their
general health has been good, and the
proportion of sickness and deaths from
sickness IS very small
THE most stringent orders have been
issued in regard to keeping the camps
clean. After my tour of inspection,
will go over the whole situation care
fully, and it is possible that new set
of regulations that will be better may
be issued.
THE day before left Washington
said General Alger, Il called Surgeon
General Sternberg into my office and
told him I wanted to build winter nos
pitfalls for 5000 men. We will have our
hospitals. if we have to raise the 5000
to $1,000. They will be located at points
where they can be reached by trans
ports, although just where it is not
yet determined. One Of the HOSPITALS.
however. will be at Havana. 1t will be
built just as soon as our troops are
sent to the island. 1 do not know what
they have in the city in the shape of
hospitals now. but I very much doubt
If we would want to take any of their
infected buildings for hospitals for our
soldiers
Brfgadier General Duffield arrived
home today from the coast of Maine,
where he has been recuDerating from
illness incurred during the Santiago
campaign. Secretary Alger visited him
this evening.

Vancouver. B. c. Sept. 1.-THE bust
ness portion of New Westminster was
totally destroyed by fire this morning.
1t is impossible TO estimate the proper
ty loss at this writing but it will run
up into. the hundreds of thousands.
Despair and suffering are the lot of
hundreds of homeless people. Food,
clothing and aid of all kinds is being
hurriedly dispatched from Vancouver
to the Inflated Royal city.
1t is not known how many people lost
their lives, but it is feared several have
been burned to death. Campbell, fire.
man, fell off the roof OF a burning
building and was killed. A woman
dropped dead from fright. One woman,
who had been confined two weeks ago,
died while they were moving her from
a burning house, while another, suffer-
ing from typhoid fever, who had been
twice removed from residences which
were in the burning zone, did not sur
vive the shock. So extremely fierce
trees were roasted.
Three river steamers were destroyed,
the Edgar, Gladys and Bonaccord.
City planning mills and Cleveland Can
ming company has been wiped out The
Canadian. Pacific railway station and
bridge across Fraser river were burned.
HOW IT STARTED.
The fire started about midnight on
the river front and was caused by a
spark from a steamer. Famed by a
fierce gale. the flames spread with
such rapidity that within three hours
ten streets were ablaze.
The fire was first noticed at Brack-
man & Kerr's wharf. on Front street.
From there it spread down to the Ca
madam Pacific depot 1t crossed the
street at this point. From there it
went up the street, taking in the other
side of Front street and Columbia
street, the business thoroughfare of the
city. Block after block caught fire, and
in a few minutes there was nothing left
of what had been the business portion
of New Westminster.
From Columbia street it spread up
the hill to a huge building built upon
piles in a gully bridged by Carnavon
street. There was g. great space under
this building, filed with dry, seasoned
lumber. The air got in with the fire
and gave it great play. There was a
whirlwind of flame, which belched
forth destruction.
From this point the fire spread. The
English cathedral was quickly at
tackled. The Baptist church followed
and the Central Methodist also. All
were destroyed. together with a large
number of residences. The inhabitants

AUN0N PLEADS AN ALIBI.
Cannot Be Held Responsible For the
CerYera Disaster.

Madrid. Sept. lin the chamber of
deputies yesterday Captain Aunon. min
lister of marine. replying to the attacks
of Senior Canalejas, editor of FL Heraldo
reminded the deputies that when he be-
came minister of marine the Spanish
squadron under Admiral Cervera was al
ready at Santiago de Cuba. Therefore, he
declared, he could not be held responsible
for the acts charged by Senior Canalejas.
Moreover, he asserted that the admirals
met in council and expressed an unanim-
Gus opinion that the squadron should go
to Cuba,
Admiral Cervera not having coal or
food was unable said Captain Aunon, to
leave the blockade in the port of Santiago.
He wanted to blow up his ships in the
harbor but l informed him that it would
be preferable to leave the port and engage
the enemy. General Blanco ordered Adj
miral Cervera to leave Santiago and fixed
the day of his departure"
London, Sept. 12.-The Madrid CORES
pendent of the Standard says: The at
tempts of General Polavieja and Senior
CanaIejas to form 2 third party have
only resulted in an increased cohesion of
the great dynasty parties. Senior Leon
Castillo, the Spanish ambassador to
France, is returning to Paris. He has
convinced Senior Sagasta that it will be
best for him (the ambassador to remain
outside the peace commission, having in
view the possible necessity of negOtia-
lions with the powers concerning the Phil
ippineS.

Two New Gases at Taylor'5, But None
at Jackson.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 11.-No new cases
of yellow fever have developed in the city
since the singIe case reported Saturday
afternoon. Ony a few exposures have
been made to the infection, and the fear
of a general epidemic is growing less.
Nearly half the population has LETT the
city. The streets have been filed with
vehicles all day, and the highways lead
ing into the country are lined with wa

visions Most of those VINO are fleeing
from the infection have gone only a short
distance into Che country, TO await devel-
opments. The board OF health firmly be-

had to flee for their lives. The fire
swent down Carnavon street and
quickly enveloped the big brick court
house and the wooden city hall. For
tunately there was a big open space
here, and the flames were not able to
leap far enough to take in the big Cen
trail school. Agnes street, however, had
got alight, and one side of Royal
avenue. All the houses on that street
were completely burned. The wind was
blowing furiously down Fraser river.
If it had been blowing the other way
the whole of the Catholic church
buildings. convent and hospital and
other structures, would have been
burned.
This morning there was no water
supply for the use of the burned out
citizens. There was not a single
butcher, baker or provision shop that
was not destroyed, and there was only
one small hotel saved.
Some of the burned out people retired
in the early hours this morning in the
open air in front of the school house
They covered themselves with blankets
and lay down to sleep under the sky.
TWO AND A HALF MILLIONS.
The loss is roughly estimated at 81
100000; insurance, $500, 600. Bank
vaults withstood the fire One insur-
ance company vault was blown up by
gunpowder.
A citizens committee has been form
ed in Vancouver to give relief to the
sufferers
The provincial government is assist
ing. Financial Minister Cotton received
the news in Victoria about noon. He
got blankets, tents and other supplies
loaded on a special train, which reached
Nanaimo, "A miles distant, in less than
two hours. The steamer Joan was in
readiness there and reached Vancouver
in record time. Here a special Cana
dian Pacific railroad freight was ready
