Washington. Sept 29.-Secretary Al
ger has returned to Washington He
came to the war department immedi-
ately after breakfast. and was soon
besieSed by number of persons who
had Eeen waiting for his return. The
Secretary looked much improved by his
trip. Later he made a verbal report to
the president on the inspection OF the
army camps which he has just con-
Guided. on leaving the White House
Secretary Alger said he was much graft
fed with the conditions of the camps
generally. He said the results of the
trip of inspection were quite satisfac-
tory. He had visited every one of the
camps. the hospitals and the sick. He
was gratified especially to find the men
in the hospitals steadily improving, and
that there were so many convalescents
where the odds against them from their
maladies had bsen great.
Secreiary's Conclusions in EnisE.
Most of the men in the hospitals, he
SAID. were in good spirits, cheerful ana
happy and brightly looking forward to
the time when they would be well again.
In general way the camps were kept
satisfactorily. but there were, he said
points which might have been improved
upon. The main trouble / found
said the secretary, was perhaps the
lack of care the troops took of them
selyss. This was one of the great diff
culties encountered. Tents outside the
camps conducted by private enterprise
proved too tempting for the soldiers. and
the results of improper and injudicious
eating soon manifested themselves in
the general condition of the men. These
were things which sometimes could not
be helped, but where there was a most
rigid discipline along these lines the
improved state Of affairs was evident"
The secretary said the reforms or
changes which might result from his
inspection would be discussed later

A.rEnIcAS SOLDIER KILLED.
spaniards Make Fatal Mistake in Porto
Rico-Evacuation Is Near


San Juan de Porto Rico, Sept. 90
Word has reached here that a Porto
Rican residing at Agaadilla. near May
aguez, asked protection OF both the
American and Spanish troops against
depredations by outlaws which it was
predicted would occur. In response to
his request the American authorities
sent to his residence two soldiers OF q
Kentucky regiment. The resident had
not notified the Spaniards that he had
requested American protection and
some Spanish soldiers who had been
sent to guard his house. arriving after
the Americans, mistook the latter for
outlaws. In the confusion resulting the
Spaniards fired. unfortunately killing
one of the Americans. The name OF the
dead soldier has not yet been ascer-
tanned.
1t may be expected that the evacua-
ton of the island will be completed
very shortly. Twenty-Five per cent. OF
the American troops in the island are
on the sick list, and it is impossible for
them to recuperate here. The sick SOL
tiiers. it is said. could be sent home with
great advantage.

Swindler Davis in Chillicothe.

H. G. Davis, the party who has ac-
quired unenviable reputation through
his fraudulent dealings here, has been
taken in charge by Chillicothe O., offic-
ials. The following letter, received by
the Benedict Hardware Company Of this
place will show how he worked" the
Chillicothe parties.
Davis was in ChillicOthe on the even
ing Of October II, and came into
our store representing himself
to be foreman Of a bridge gang Of the
Detroit Bridge & Iron Works, Of Detroit,
Mich, and was putting up a bridge at
HillsborO, O. He said their belt gave
away suddenly that day and that he came
to ChillicOthe to get belt after having
failed to find what he wanted in a couple
other towns. He claimed he had author
ity to purchase anything that was needed
in hurry for the Bridge company. He
told us to look up their rating. We did
so and found that they were all 0. K.
He had us render an invoice for the
goods and he said he would write letter
along with the invoice and 0. K. the
invoice and we would get our money in
few days. His story was plausible and
he had the appearance Of being the fore
man Of a bridge gang and we let him
have the belt, which amounted to SOIL.
We did not receive the draft from the
Bridge Co and so we wrote them in re-
gard b the matter and they Immediately
wrote us that this man was an impOster
and that they had letter from you und-
er date Of November 26, stating that you
had him in Jail and was no doubt the
same man that we were looking for, and
sure enough it was, Our mayor soOn
made up his mind that this man was an
/ old timer and he gave him a good stiff
dose, which we think he deserves"
Yours respectfully,
Gillum & Spetnagel.
