THE CAMP ALGER BOYS WILL PRO-
BABLY STAY IN VIRGINIA.
NOT NEEDED IN PORTO RICO
So Says a Washington OfhciaI, Who
Predicts That Lee VIII he Made
magisteriaI and Personal.

| cu bdShs 40 IepOileu yesterday anu. az
far as information can be obtained al
the War Department here. the Original
programme of marching through North
ern Virginia. in campaign order will not
be departed from.
when will the troops now at Camp
ouired to go?' was the question 1 put
TO an official in the Adjutant-Genera S
| Office this morning.
ITO tell you the truth" he said, between
| YOU and me on the quiet, / don't think
they will ever CO."
"Whatr / said, mot give the boys a
chance to see some foreign service; ii
will break their hearts"
yes" he replied. that part of it is
bad. admit, but since Spain has accept
ed our terms, the eighteen or nineteen
regiments ordered to report to General
Wade will not be wanted in Porto Rico.
There are enough troops there now. with
those on the way. to garrison the island,
and TO meet all the necessities of the oc-
casion. We will require all our trans
ports to bring Skaters army back to
this county, and / do not think Wade's
Corps will ever go to Porto Rico"
LEE DESTINED FOR CUBA
How about Cuba. them" l inquired.
"Oh. l think it is pretty we'll settled
that Lees Seventh Army Corps will take
care OF Cuba after the peace terms have
been concluded" was the reply.
Then you don't think there is anything
in the newspaper reports that Major
General VI. c. Butler will be made Mill
tary Governor of Cuba?'
Nothing whatever" replied the Off
cial. Il think that idea was suggested
TO the reporters by the mouthpiece of
clidue here which is jealous of the promi-
nence already given to Lee. There is no
doubt in my mind that the President
has always intended 10 make General
Lee Military Governor Of Cuba. and his
corps has been reserved for Habana,
whether there should be hostilities or not.
General Lees thorough knowledge OF the
situation in Cuba renders him peculiarly
fitted for the military governorship of
the island, and the President fully ap-
preciates this, and considers the appoint
ment a fitting reward for General Lees
invaluable services.
SWANSON'S OPPONENT.
testant for the seat Of Representative
Swanson from the Fifth District, is in
the city, stopping at the Hotel Johnson.
He declined 10 say whether he will again
be a candidate for Congress. He stated
that he was not seeking the nomination,
but II IL came TO him, OF course, he would
respond to the wishes Of the people.
1t is understood that Mr.. Berkeley Davis.
OF Henry, is working for the nomi-
nation, and as he is young and ener-
getic, he may give Brown a hard race
for it.
Mrs. II. r. Woodward, OF Middleburg,
Va. is at the Shoreham.
Ex-Postmaster-Ge General and Mrs. Wana-
maker will spend September at the Vir-
ginia Hot Springs, where a large number
of well-known people have engaged ac-
for the autumn.

member of the Virginia Legislature, is
in the city. stopping at the Metropolitan.
Captain c. w. Westbury, passenger
