Camp Alger was completed yesterday

whom he commands, and TO give the off,

probably be the last in which the men
will participate at the present camp. as
many or the regiments will shortly ba
mustered out of service.
An order has been issued by the War
Department directing the commanding
general TO appoint the proper mastering
out officers. II Is probable that Major

1t VIII Cost Money.


Il hope now, that peace has come. that
there'n be no doubt in the minds of the
Administration as to the policy to be
carried out. The American flag should
not be pulled down from single pole
on which 1t has ever been raised. Porto
Rico, Cuba. the Ladrones and the Philip
pines ali belong TO Uncle Sam by right
of conquest and he should keep them.
OF course, such a move will cost plenty
of money but il must come in time any
way and the game is worth the candle.
All four colonies are of sufficient value
for every nation in Europe to want them
and if they're good enough for Russia
and France they are certainly good
enough for US. England has reached her
present position simply through the ex-
tent of her acquired territories, and it
strikes me that she affords an excellent
example for her sister country.
From a pecuniary point of view, the
islands are of unGoubted worth. Cuba
especially abounds in mahogany, bananas,
indigo and coffee. most of which products
have never been brought up to half their
normal rate. Populate the place with
energetic Yankees and let them have
few years to cultivate the soil and the
return will more than warrant necessary
expenditure. Then, TOO, the place has
strong value as a coaling station and
from a strategic side, two considera-
lions that must weigh heavily in de-
Gliding whether to let il go or not.
