To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The friends of the soldiers at Camp Alger
need not be alarmed at the Investigations
and reports that have been made as to the
sanitary conditions there. In reality the
percentage of sickness is very small when
it is remembered that these men are
brought from the malaria of Illinois, from
crowded city offices and remote western
states to clear, dry, salubr:ous climate
altogether free from malaria, or from any
thing engendering malarial troubles The
effort of nature in sudden changes of eli
mate TO throw off latent malaria and i'm
purities in the system frequently produces
a low fever, or boils (Which are safe al
though disagreeable), or chills Intermittent
fever and Various other results of the dis
persion of bile from disordered livess. This
could be largely avoided if the medical men
would pursue the plan frequently adopted
by persons coming from the cities for the
summer, viz, use a mild anti-blious treat
ment at first to get rid of the malaria
brought with them. Fairfax county has al
ways been noted for its wonderful health
fulness- The water is freestone, and the
hneSt water in the country. The region has
been famed for the quality OF the water
Streams of winter ard surface water may
be poor drinking, but they dry up in sum-
mer and are not considered or depended
upon. During the civil war hundreds of
thousands of men camped in Fairfax. They
were from every part of the United States.
and came straight to This region from The
far south, north, east and west. They had
TO time for complaint, and, indeed. found
much comfort in a locality free of mos
quitoes and chills. AS a camp this legion
was subjected to four years lest and
found peculiarly satisfactory. AS break
in the transition from the north to the eX-
IRENE south it is an admirable selection.
To transport western and city men to
distinctly mountainous region would speed
lily change a heavy percentage of their
malaria into typhoid.
Camp Alger is 400 feet above tide water;
Dunn Loring, the camp station, is a few
feet more elevated; the road to camp is
short and excellent; the climatic conditions
delightful. There is no reason. then, why
the distant families of these soldiers should
have their grief and apprehension aug
mented by groundless reports. Especially
does this seem an absurdity in a historic
region where, doubtless, the fathers of
many of these young men saw large part
of their four years service in the last war

that their state would be given a brigadier
generalship. They decided to offer the posi-

ficer of brilliant record in the civil war.
Gen. Hoke lives in Raleigh. The tender of

agreed upon.

Famine in Havana Tobacco Has -,
Last Becomes r eaAity.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, June o, 1895.
The much-talked-of land s1ong-expected
tobacco famine is practically here. Before
the war with Spain began the air was
filled with prophecies or such a famine.
The Cuban rebellion was on, but still there
was genuine Cuban tobacco to be had.
AS the rebellion dragged along stories were
heard about the price Of tobacco going mp
and the quality going down. But Ha-
vana tobacco was still to be had for
price. ~
The importers knew all about 1t some
time ago, but 1t fell upon the smokers un-
awares. 1t has even reached the clubs
which were supposed to be plentifully sup
pied with the fragrant weed. 1t has de-
yeloped that the stock Of Havana cigars
Is almost exhausted, and that the import
ers are holding on to the remainder with a
death grip. The supply is to be appor-
itoned SO that 1t may last as long as pos
sipie, and for that reason the sales of
box lots are almost entirely prohibited.
one OF the largest clubs In the city. club
that year ago bought over 10000 Ha-
vana cigars from single importing house
IN the city, is almost in sight of its last
cigar 1t had laid in such heavy stock
over the winter that it was willing to sell
to members in any quantity for almost any
price. and row it will not sell a box at
any price. The most that smoker can
get is handful.

Ready to Swear In.

I'm here to be sworn in," was what
an elderly colored man said when he
visited the Capitol today.
Sworn in for what?' he was asked.
ITO rule the country" was his response.
The old man seemed to imagine he had
been elected President, and he was anxious
that he should be sworn in without delay.
Capitol Policeman Rohm, fully satisfied
that the old mans mind was affected,
placed him under arrest and turned him
over to the police of the sixth precinct. He
gave his name as Robert Jones and said
he was seventy years old last summer.
When first arrested Jones said he was
from Maryland, but later he said he had
tramped here from South Carolina. The
police surgeons will examine him this
afternoon.

NEWsIEs IN COURT,
Five Lads ArrniSned Today for
Violations of Law.

Policemen Narrower and Turner of the
sixth precinct are after the newsboys who
earn their living in the vicinity of the Bal
timore and Ohio depot. Five of their VIC
Tins were before Judge Scott this morning
fer crying aloud their papers yesterday
morning, while enc boy was in court for
getting on street car. He gave his name
as Joseph Junani, and his respectable ap-
pearance indicated that he Ieaped the bene-
fit OF his labor. Policeman Turner had ar
rested him for getting on q horse car.
"A man On the Car called me-" said the
boy, but didn't have the paper he want
ed and jumped off the car"
renee for street car passengers to call
newsboys. Such case had never been
called to his attention before, and he did
not feel as If he ought to fine the boy
After being warned against repetition OF
the offense. the lad was released on mis-
own recognizance.
Policeman Narrower lodged a complaint
against the five boys for alleged viola
items of the Sunday law. Counsel for the
boys argued that they were earning then
living In this way, and while they were
probably guilty of a technical violation OF
law, they ought not be fired.
THE policeman was in citizens clothes

hand in his pocket as il he wanted q paper
before two of the boys called their papers
for his benefit"
