TO INVESTIGATE CAMP ALGER,

Washington, June 2-In consequence
of numerous and repeated complaints
against the healthfulness of Camp Alger,
near Falls Church, Va, the secretary of
war has given personal orders for tho
rough and impartial investigation of the
sanitary condition of the camp and its
surroundings. He has intrusted this
work to his military aide, Major George
H. Hopkins OF the volunteer army, who
had considerable experience III the field
during the civil war.
The principal complaints against the
camp are that the water supply is in
sufficient and of bad quality, and that
existing conditions there predispose the
soldiers to malaria.
If the report of the army board shows
these complaints to be we'll founded. the
camp will be abandoned in favor of a
more healthful site, The latest arrival
in camp was the ninth Massachusetts,
94S strong, late last night. The sale OF
liquor within the camp has been abso-
lutely prohibited.

How Our Tars in Asia Received the News
of the Names Destruction.
(From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. }

(From the Chicago Inter Ocean
Springfield Ohio, May 23.-Through g.
II. Burke of Cleveland news was received
here today of an interesting paper pub
Hshed at intervals on the United States
flagship Olympia of the Asiatic squadron.
The paper just received by Mr.. Burke
Is called the Bounding Billow, and was
printed at Hong Kong on March 81.
This is the fourth number of the first vol
the extreme. At the time this paper was
printed the sailors had just heard the
news of the blowing up of the Maine.
The front page of the paper contains On
account of the Maine disaster, sur
rounded by deep black border. The
article states that the United States had
conclusive proof that the Maine was
blown up by an external explosion, and
1t Is limited that serious international
complications may arise. A part Of the
story is as follows:
divers were sent down to examine the
wreck, and found indisputable evidence
that the Maine, with her gallant Grew,
was blown up by some foul fiend whose
death thousand times over could never
atone for the loss Of go many human lives
-shipmares, brothers, friends, all hurled
into eternity without word of warning
no chance for farewell grasp Of the
hand; sorrow and desolation brought to
hundreds of homes; gray haired mothers
bewaiting the lives Of their sons; loving
wives eagerly scanning the papers, dread
ing. yet hoping, and anxious sweethearts
waiting for the return Of their loved ones.
'Tis picture to make the heart ache.
Volunteers for service are applying at
all military and naval stations, and, in
the face Of this, jingoists and other I'M be
Giles are crying about the spirit Of '76
being dead. The spirit of '7e win re-
main in the heart Of every American as
long as our glorious banner floats. Patri-
OTIS all, when the tocsin sounds, not q
man will fail in his duty, and our battle
cry shall be, Remember the Maine. "
Next follows On article describing the
Maine relief fund. "The repsonse on this
station" says the little paper, "was
typical American one-generous and hu
name. $500 in United States gold was
collected among the crews OF the Olym-
pia, Raleigh, Concord and Petrel."

news at Key West is, of course, that a
battle has been fought at Santiago, but
this information comes from New York.
Every boat, whether battIeship, cruiser,
monitor, gunboat torpedo boat, scout
or tug, is ''held up by the newspaper
launches Immediately after it enters the
harbor. All vessels that arrived today
were eagerly questioned for news, but
none were able to give any.
The newspapers have left the Havana
blockade almost noovered, it being un-
derstood that nothing of importance is
likely to happen along the north coast
for some time.
The Osceola lies in the harbor with
great punches cf bananas hanging from
the upper decks. These and other fruits
came from Cuba, where the Osceola has
been protecting the landing of the La
Cret expedition. Those who witnessed
the return of the steamers which carried
the expedition have got the idea thatCuba
is land of plenty instead Of starvation.
The returning people came laden with
fruit and delioacies sent from Cuba to
friends in Key West and Tampa.
