CAMP ALGER's SICKNESS.
Fatalities Number Only 30 In Three
Months Among 80 900 Men.

Washington Aug. 7-Secretary Alger
visited Fort Meyer this afternoon with a
view of ascertaining personally whether
everything possible was being done for
the soldiers of Camp Alger who are in
the hospital at the fort.
He found the sick men as comfortable
as could be expected in the circumstances.
Each one has a good bed, which is kept
Immediately clean and fresh, and all are
receiving excellent medical attention and
nursing. At present there are about $40
men in the hospital, Some are very seri-
ously III and few are not expected to re-
cover.
Thus far the fatalities among the troops
a. Camp Alger have numbered 80. This is
not considered a great loss in any army of
nearly 5000 men during the three months
the men have been in the service.
The army authorities dep.ore the death
of every one of the 80 whose lives have
gone out, but some losses are to be ex-
pected in an army so large as Gen. Gra-
hams in view of the changed conditions
encountered by the men when they entered
the service.

Madrid ImpnrciaI Proposes sOIu-

London. Aug. S.-A special dispatch from
Madrid says: Apparently the public Is
little concerned about the progress of the
peace negotiations. There were bull fights
as usual to-day Sunday and the custom
airy amusements proceeded with the utmost
gayety.
"El Imparcial proposed a new solution
for the settlement of the Cuban debt. 1t
takes It for granted that the United States
cannot be asked to assume the burden Of
about f32 O0,OO0 $l60, ,0OO0C0) of debt exist
ing when the rebellion began in 1896 and
the f9OOOO,OOO Gl5O,OOO, COO spent since. II
suggests that Spain should undertake to
pay interest and redemption on the Cuban
debt until the new West Indian republic
is in a position to do so, which ll Impair
clal affects to believe II could soon do,
when its vast natural resources were de-
Veloped under an American protec fora te
The papers comment on Senor Sagas-
ta's astuteness in consulting the political
leaders This act has greatly strengthened
his position, because neary all approved
his peace policy and none had any feasi-
bic plan TO propose for prolonglng the war
or getting better peace terms.
The comments on the conditions of
peace are very reserved. If the United
States insists upon an immediate evacua-

ALGER UNDER FIRE.
Serious Mismnnagement OF Santiago
Forces Alleged.

London, Aug. S.-The Times says edi-
torially this morning: 1T Is a hand nut
the negotiators have to crack regarding
Cuba. The Americans cannot garrison
the island and 1t would be rather absurd
to be compelled to ask the Spanish troops
TO remain and 10 keep order there. There
is such thing as victory so complete and
easy as to be more embarrassing than
struggle upon something like equal terms.
Had the Spanish army In Cuba been
beaten IN the field the situation would
have been much less complicated as the
administration of the island would simply
be taken over by the victorious army
THE American war Office is the sub
ject of severe criticism from men OF all
parties and Secretary Alger, as our New
York correspondent caustcaly observed,
As regarded seriously as a candidate for
retirement into private life. There un-
dobbtedly has been most serious mis-
management In connection with the San
tiago forces, and had not public opinion
intervened upon the manifesto Of the gem
erals, II is not improbable that the war
Office would have gone on covering up its
own mistakes until the Santiago force had
succumbed entirely TO disease and priva-
ton
Now the troops are being deported from
the island as rapidly as possible, but with
them goes every trace Of American power
to deal with a possession OF which Spain
is to be deprived.
mo native government Is possible; no
American government Is ready, or likely
to be ready for long time TO come. In
the meantime the Spanish army is starv-
Ing with the civil population. Events
seem to have moved so quickly as to leave
the American war office absolutely unpre-
than the provisioning of the field forces
at Santiago"
