GENERAL BOYNToN'S DENIAL.
Soldiers Hospitals ant

Investigates soldiers Hospitals and
Declares Results Favorable.
Washington, Aug. ga few days
ago Secretary Alger issued an order to
General II. V. Boynton, now at Chicka-
mauga Park, to make a thorough and
searching investigation of all the hos
pitfalls in Camp Thomas and to report
instantly any lack of attention to the
inmates, any inefficiency In the medical
officers or any need of supplies of
whatever kind. General Boynton's at
tention was directed to the sensational
charges made by one DR.. Terry
against the conduct of the hospitals at
Camp Thomas, and he was urged to
make prompt report of the exact con-
ditlons as he should find them. Last
night the following telegram from Cen
eral Boynton wns received by Adju-
tant General Corbln, dated Chatta-
noOga:
"Have completed investigating hos
pitals, under secretary's orders. Re
suits exceedingly favorable in all es-
sential features. The facts effectually
dispose of all recent sensational ad-
verse criticism. Report viii be written
out tomorrow"
The results of General Boynton's in
vestigation, as briefly stated in his tele-
gram, afforded the officials of the war
department great satisfaction.

Manila, Aug. 29.-Steamers are enter
ing the river as usual. The Americans
are temporarily maintaining the former
Spanish tariff. Business is brisk. The
United States war ships Olympia and
Raleigh have gone to Hong Kong to go
into dock. Admiral Dewey has trans
ferred his flag to the Baltimore. Gem
eral Merritt will sail on the steamship
China tomorrow on his way to Paris to
attend the session of the peace confer
ence. No agreement has yet been
reached with Aguinaldo upon any sub
ject, although circumstantial rumors
are current that everything has been
settled to the mutual satisfaction OF
those concerned.
The situation, though undoubtedly
unsatisfactory remains unchanged,
pending a final settlement. Auginaldo

He further intends to send a represen-
tative to Paris to argue his claims for
the establishment of an insurgent re-
public.
Malolos is an excellent strategic
point. covering a rice and tobacco dis
trict, beside the route to Biacnabato
where the Spaniards were formally
obliged to make a treaty by which they
purchased a cessation of hostilities.
The movement was probably neces-
sary partly because Auginaldo was fast
losing his influence in the province of
Cavite, where the insurgents evidently
expected to be permitted to occupy
Manila cojointly with the Americans.
Considerable dissatisfaction is apparent
among the insurgent troops, and a
frank expression of opinion is fire.
