Camp wikoff. Sept. 12.-orders re-
ceived here today prove abundantly
that Gen. Nelson A. Miles is the real
commander OF the United States army
and that whatever Views Secretary of
War Alger may have in regard to army
administration will avail nothing
against the directions of the military
chief OF the forces.
In spite of the secretary's plans TO
maintain permanent garrison at Mon
tauk, Gen. Bates. now in command here,
received today orders from Gen Miles
that the camp must be stripped of all
troops as rapidly as possible.
In accordance with these orders the
Third cavalry and 10Th and 2lst In
fantry will break camp tomorrow
morning and proceed to their per-
manent barracks, and all the rest OF
the troops will follow as rapidly as Ii
is possible to procure transportation.
When Gen. Bates was asked whether
this order OF the commanding general
of the army did not conflict with orders
previously received from Secretary Al
ger. all he would say was, These are
new orders"

MILES STAND
IS APPROVED

Among the officers the generals
stand is universally commended.It was
bitterly cold last night, and they all
realize that 1t will be impossible to
keep the troops in comfort, not to say
in health, If they are to remain much
longer under canvas. The cquinoctial
storms are at hand, and old residents
of Montauk say the first big blow will
leave not a sheet OF canvas standing.
This blow. they assert. may come any
day.
Even If the proposition TO erect per-
mapent lumber barracks is carried out
there is not stick Of lumber now on
the ground available for the purpose,
and recent bitter experience of the in
capacity of the Long Island railroad to
transport supplies conyinces all that IL
Is already too late TO begin the work
with any reasonable expectation of
getting the barracks up IN time for
occupation before The first storm.
Every one here is praying that the
exodus may not be delayed and that
General Miles will expedite matters To
the utmost and obviate all the misery
that will attend the delay OF even a
few days under the present conditions
OF camp life.

ORDERS ARE
PEREMPTORY.

From an officer learned that in con-
veying his orders providing for the
abandonment of the camp, Gen. Miles
had been careful to impress the fact
that they were peremptory and should
be regarded as superseding any order
that might previously have emanated
from the secretary of war.
Great satisfaction Is expressed among
the troops at the determination OF Gen.
Miles that Camp Wikoff shall be aban-
doned. They are weary of the monot-
ony and discomforts of life under can
vas, and are anxious to get back TO
their permanent stations. which an
