A COLD WAVE.
Thermometer Fell Ten Degrees at
Camp Wikoff

CAMP WIkOFF (Montauk Point,
Sept. IA fall of ten degrees in the
temperature was experienced last night.
The cold wave was accompanied by a
high wind which for several hours
threatened to blow down the tents. The
storm moderated towards morning.
The three trains that arrived to-day
brought from New York a large num-
her of Sunday visitors, who spent sew
eral hours inspecting the camp.
The transport Saratoga arrived from
Santiago to-day with about sixty men,
bers of the Signal Corps in command
of Lieutenant Colonel Frank Green.
The Saratoga also brought $50 negro
laborers who were sent to Santiago sew
eral months ago to act as teamsters,
drivers, stevedores, etc. Two of the
negroes died of malarial fever on the
voyage. Twelve men were sick when
the steamer reached here and were
taken to the detention hospital. None
Of the cases are considered serious
The members of the Signal Corps
aboard were taken to the detention
camp. The Saratoga will be fumigat-
ed and will then go to New York where
the negroes will land
Colonel Roosevelt expects to have his
regiment of Rough Riders mustered out
on Thursday, when the men will go to
their homes.
The officers and men of the regiment
are preparing to present to Colonel
Roosevelt testimonial Of their regard
in the form of a small bronze statue
designed by Frederick Remington, the
artist
The general belief in Camp Wikoff to-
day is that great changes will be soon
made here, before the present week
is over. Reports are circulated freely
that General Miles has assumed the
active direction of the affairs of the
camp and that he intends to have all
regular troops removed from here as
soon as possible and sent to regular
army posts.
General Bates, who is now in COM
mand of Camp Wikoff, admitted to-
day that new orders had been received
from Washington in regard to the dis
position of the soldiers here and the
general understanding that they will
all be moved away as rapidly as possi-

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Deputy
Quartermaster Kimball to-day received
an order from General Miles, setting
forth that a parade of the returning
Porto Rican troops will take place in
this city on Saturday night. Colonel
Kimball was instructed to propose a
Suitable camp for the men who are on
their way from Ponce in the Govern
ment transports.
AS soon as Colonel Kimbau received
The order he communicated with Gov
ernor Voorhees, of New Jersey, to con-
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 as
sistants. The mess halls and the kitch-
ems erected 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 KIM
ball desires to know if the camp is still
available. No agreement was reached
to-day, though it is probable that the
camp at Seagirt will be used.
The transports Concho and Alamo are
on their way from Ponce and are ex-
pected to arrive this week. Though
none Of the arrangements have been de-
cided upon, it is more than probable
that the event will be made the occa-
sion 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 ar
rived in the city on the Mississippi will
take part in the parade. This includes
Troops A and c, as well as the Penn
sylvania troops that returned with
them
On the Concho are General Wilson

The little WinSlow that had just got
in that morning was an object of much
interest. The shot holes she received

were minutely examined and felt by
the curious crowds that every moment
threatened to swamp the famous little
torpedo boat.
1t is Well known in the navy that
service aboard these small craft is less
desirable than anywhere else. They
are merely low steel shells, susceptible
to changes of heat and cold in de-
gree exceedingly uncomfortable TO their

These men of the Winslow looked

Of Cardenas seemed written all over
their faces, and they laughed seldom,
and then grimly Though young, they
had more the air of veterans than any
of the sailors aboard the larger ships.
When questioned about the fight they
appeared reluctant to refer to it, and
one sailor changed the subject by tell
ing how, the day before the fight, they
had landed at Cardenas lighthouse and
gathered the curious shells they found
there. He had had his gilded and
