very determined old colored citizen Of
Owl Greek valley. He had young
mule which his boys were unable TO
ride, and their failure to break the ami
NAL so exasperated the old man that he
determined to ride it himself. He was,
however no sooner located on its back
than he was thrown into an adjoining
lot, where he was picked up with both
legs broken and his neck badly sprained.
"What OH earth did such an old man
as you mean by trying to ride wild

ON THE QUI WYE.
Sec. Alger investigating Affairs
at Camp Wiko6.
Those Able Will Go to Their Homes
on FurIoughs.
The Secretary Refuses TO Talk Concerning
Sherman's Criticism.

New York, Aug. 2s.-secretary Alger
had breakfast early this morning and
promptly resumed his work OF investi-
eating the affairs of Camp Wikoff.
Among the first things he did was to
give attention to granting of 30 days
furlough to the list New York Volun-
teers and the I'd Massachusetts,. Gen.
Alger told the commanders of those
regiments to make out a list of all the
men who were able to leave camp SO
they can depart for their homes, as
soon as possible. The list men will go
by train to New York. while the
larger number of the I'd Massachusetts
men will probably go by boat direct
from Montauk.
The Rough Riders are also granted
furloughs and so will be the Michigan
Volunteers. The the expiration of their
furloughs, the list men will not return
here. but to Camp Black to be form
ally mustered out. The I'd Massachu-
sets men will report to South Franz
ingham for mastering out after their
furloughs. Some of the sick men in
1.-THE hospitals who are able and willing
to be removed to their homes will be
included in the list of those on fur
Tough.
Gen. Alger has given notice that the
regulars will also be. allowed to go
home on furlough so that within few
days thousands of men who are now
in camp will be away to make room
for those now on the transports in
Fort Pond bay wanting to come ashore
and those expected on the transports
yet to come from Santiago, including
Gen. Shafter and his staff.
The secretary did not care to make
any reply to the alleged criticisms OF
ex-Secretary Sherman on Secretary
Alger's management Of the war de-
.partment, in connection with the cam
paign.
Gen. Alger while making his rounds
made careful inquiry on routine at
fairs and whether sufficient supply of
ice and milk has been received at the
hospitals. When he found what he
considered neglect anywhere he plain
~ called to account those responsible.
Secretary Alger left Camp Wikoff
this afternoon for Long Island City.
