ALGER HAS NOTHING TO DEFEND
Wants the Strongest Searchlight Turned
On the War Department.


On the War Department.
Detroit, Sept. 12.-The reception given
to Secreatry of War Alger Saturday
evening by his fellow citizens was a
huge success. At 6 p. m. the secretary
was escorted from his residence on Fort
street to the Light Guard armory by
about 1000 marchers headed by the De-
troit battalions of the Michigan naval
reserves and company M, of the Thirty
third Michigan volunteers the only De-
troit company which participated in the
Santiago campaign. In addition to the
military there were several G. A. r.
posts, headed by Detroit post and about
200 of the Detroit letter carriers. Sec
rotary Alger stood on the front steps
Of his residence with Governor Pingree
while the procession passed in review.
Then his and other carriages brought
up the Iear of the parade. The new
Light Guard armory had been made re-
splendent with flowers and bunting in
honor Of the secretarys reception.
Among the speakers were GovernU
Pingree, Hon. Alfred Russell, Rev. w.
J. Gardner, and others, and they all
| eulogized the war secretary. In the course
of his speech in response to the well
come Secretary Alger said: The or
ganizing Of an army of 200 600 men was
great task. That some things might
! have been done better have no doubt,
but as regards the war department 1
ask the world to turn the strongest
searchlight 1t has upon it. am making
no defense, as the department has moth
ing to defend. In war there are always
sickness, death, wounds and misery, but
with one single exception there has been
no complaint to the department from
the men in the field. The men are all
heroes, those who have spent their time
in the great camps in the south as well
as those who fought in the terrible cam
| paignS."

 ies masked by trees. We had only g
 miserable little howitzer to oppose tc
 them. But Lieut. Creole, a brave
 young West Pointer, was in command
 of it, and he had advanced it right out
 into the open, and with his little squad of men he was standing there, full in 1 the face of the rebel batteries, and
 blazing away at them as fast as he
 could load. Just as we came in sight | of him ball hit him in the forehead
 and carried away the top of his head.
 Of course he dropped like a stone. Poor fellow! I emptied his pockets for him | lest we should have to leave him on the field. Among other things was a revolver and lot of cartridges, and when turned over his effects to the Guartermaster I kept two or three Of the cartridges as a memento Years after I happened to meet an army off cer from far western post, and in the course of our talk I told him this story.
 "'By jove!' he exclaimed. I wish you would give me those bullets. Gre ble's son is serving now under me, and I should like to be able to take back to him such memento of the father he never saw The lieutenant, it seems, had been manfred shortly before he was killed, and his son was born after his death. Of course I was very glad to send him such a relic of his father.
 "Well, our lieutenant-coloneFs sun stroke was not the only casualty of the kind that the day brought forth in our regiment. Our major was attacked with dysentery, and it wasn't the ditch water in his case, either, for he wasn't a water drinker. He fell to the rear and joined the lieutenant-colonel. and the two together found my ambulance and confiscated it in their turn, and drove back to Hampton, loading as they ran-with p1under from the houses along the way. Lace curtains, bric-a-brac siiver-whatever they could lay their hands on and get into my sick-cart. Ben Butler. who was in command of the forces about Fortress Monroe at the time, had just promul- gated his 'ccntraband-of-war decision, and zoundsl if they didn't meet him face to face.
 "'Why, how's this. gentlemen?' he said. The battle over?' And while they were humming and having for an excuse. he lifted the cover that they had thrown over their booty. They were given the opportunity to resign that night, and the next day they left for home. As a matter of fact, every body ran away from that battle, only most of us did it more decently. We ran back to camp, and the rebels back to Yorktown"
