Secretary Alger says he does not
intend to order an investigation of the
charges of mismanagement of the war,
but will stand on his record. He will
stand on his official head after the in
vestigators are through with him. He
says he has done his best. No doubt
of that, but Ayers best is not far from
the worst. The meanest thing in AL
gers plea, however, is his effort to lay
the blame on the officers in the field.
He cannot escape responsibility that
way, for the officers in the field are
not to blame for unfit appointments
in the commissary made at Washing
ton.

Which the city of Manila is situated.
TSecond-Equal trade facilities with
Spin in the remainder of the Philip
pinexgroup.
"TAird-None of the islands to be
dispo}ed of to any foreign nation.
"Feurth-The severance of all ex-
listing relations between church and
state in the entire Philippine group"
If we are not to assume control, of
the entire Philippine group. is it not
rather strange tRet the President
should demand that lchurch and state

A FAVORABLE REPORT.
| Gen, Boynton Finds Everything in Good
Condition at Camp Thomas-Other On
GERS fyISapraa


Chattanooga, Tenn, August 30-Geo.
H. V. Boynton, chairman OF the Chick
amauga -CnatJanoog National Military
Park commission, ordered by the war
department TO thoroughly investigate
the conditions at Camp Thomas and
report thereon, has completed his re-
port and forwarded it 10 Washington.
The report is favorable On nearly every
matter Investigated. The water is said
to be good, tRe ground well adapted
for camping purposes, the hospitals
well located ana the attention given
the sick as good as could be expected.
The indications are that the report
will bring on warm dispute as nu-
merOus statements contained therein
are cCntradicted by high army officials.
The full, text of the report is expected
to be- made public by the government
officials after they have passed on it.
Owing to a slight and unexpected
hitch which has occurred between the
army officials and the railroads the
work Of removing the First corps to
Admission. Ala, has not yet begun.
Two regiments, the First Mississippi
and Third Tennessee, are expected to
go tomorrow.
1t is the intention of the officials to
have the seven artillery batteries away
from the park within forty-eight hours,
but Maj. Atwell, who is in command,
states that this will be almost impos-
sible The batteries will net be music
I'd out here, but will be sent to their
respective States. The two Georgia
batteries will go to Camp Northen.
Griffin. Ca, where they were mustered
in. The four Ohio batteries will prob
ably go into camp at Columbus until
mustered out, but it is not yet known
just where the Indiana battery will so.

LA CHAMPAGNE SAFE.
The Overdue French Liner Towed
Into Halifax Harbor.

into HulitnN HarbOr.
New York, Feb. 2S.--Saturday night
the .Holland-American line steamer
Rotterdam from Rotterdam, arrived at
Quarantine with Third officer George
Unswerth and nine seamen of La
Champagne on board. They were pick
ed up from a lifeboat on Feb. "a The
men when taken aboard the Rotter-
dam were in helpless condition, hav-
ing been in the ships lfeboat for six
days and nights. They suffered ter
ribly from the effects Of the weather,
and We're all more or less frost bitten.
Third officer Unswerth stated that
La Champagne broke her tail shaft on
Feb. II, at p. m, and the vessel was
totally disabled.
on the morning of the 18th, the life
boat being fully provisioned, Unswerth
and his crew of nine men left the ships
side in the hope of intercepting some
passing steamer and getting assistance
for the disabled liner. The men work.
ed steadily at the oars until, on the
24th, at l D. m, the Rotterdam bore
down and stood by, and with no little
difficulty rescued all hands. Captain
Bonjer and his officers made the men
as comfortable as possible, and the
Rotterdam's surgeon attended careful
ly to the suffering seamen.
officer Unswerth reported that La
Champagne was in no danger when he
left, but as the vessel was totally dis
abed there was considerable anxiety
regarding her until last night when
a telegram from Halifax announced
that the vessel had been towed into
that harbOr by the steamer Roman,
with all on board safe and well.

A PECULIAR FACT.
Thousands of People Have Dyspepsia in Its
Worst PORN and DO Not Know It.

A weak stomach is the cause of about
nine tenths of all disease, yet in most cases
the wrong thing is treated and the true
cause overlooked
This is because weak digestion pro-
duces symptoms utbling neatly every
disease because it weaAens and disturbs the
action of every nerve ahd organ in the body;
poor digestion causes hIeart trouble, kidney
troubles, lung weakness and especially ncr-
vous break down or NERVOUS prostration, the
nerves cannot stand the wear and tear unless
generously fed by well digested, wholesome
food.
Keepthc digestion go Pd and no one need
fear the approach of dis ease.
Mrs. H. NJ. Lee Of Rochester, n. Y,
writes For the sake of suffering humanity

weak stomach, threw up my food very often

TRIED TO KILL A KING.

Driving with HIS Daughter.

George of Greece Fired Upon While
Driving with HIS Daughter.
Athens, Feb 2S.-While King George
was returning from Phalerum Satur-
day evening in a landau, accompanied
by the Princess Maria, two men who
were hidden in ditch alongside the
road opened fire with guns upon the
occupants of the carriage. The first
shot missed, but the second wounded
a footman in the arm. The cOachman
whipped up his horses, and the royal
party dashed away at gallop. The
miscreants fired seven shots after
them, none Of which took effect, and
the king and princess returned to the
palace unhurt.
When the second shot whizzed past
the carriage the king rose and stood
in front of his daughter, in order to
shield her. One of the horses was
slightly wounded. one of the assail-
ants knelt in the middle of the road
and aimed straight at the king, who
noticed that the mans hand was shak-
ing. The shot missed, and the king
had clear view of this man, who, his
majesty says, was barely 20 years old.
He continued to fire after the carriage
until it was out of range. His COM
panion, who was more cowardly, did
not leave the ditch.
The action of his majesty in shield
ing his daughter, the princess, at the
risk of his own life has aroused great
enthusiasm.
The first shot was fired at a distance
of 20 yards. The king relates that he
perceived a third individual little fur
ther away, and several persons who
