WASHINGTON. Sept. THAT both sides
In the Alger-Miles controversy are preparing
for the fray becomes more clearly manifest
every day.
1t is not generally known that Miles con-
duct as an officer of the army was under
investigation by congress long before war
with Spain was dclared. On February G.,
1897. the senate passed this resolution:
Resolved, That the committee on military
aHalrs be ana they are hereby directed to
inquire and report If 1t is lawful for an
omcer OF the regular army of the United
otaes, while holding his official position ana
receiving compensation from the govern
ment therefor. to receive from private citi-
zehs valuable presents in compensation for
services performed by hun while in the line
OK duty, and If SO the said committee be
ana they are hereby directed to report to
the senate a bill prohibiting the acceptance
OK Such gifts While such officer Is In the
actual service of the government
1t Is we'll known at the time this resolu-
tion was passed that it referred to Gen.
Miles. Some admiring friends it was
CANNED, made up purse after the railroad
RIOTS OF 1894 and purchased a very valuable
Washington home for Gen. Miles. The pa
pers at the time had a great deal to say
ABOUT the matter, but 1t gradually died out.
MONDAY night Secretary Aiger called at the
residence of John Sherman, and was closet
ed with him for more than an hour. It is
understood that Alger went for the purpose
OF getting from Sherman himself some
statement in confederation of the many SEN
satlOnal newspaper interviews given out by
the senator. 1t IS said that President Nc

Another View Of the Case.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-General Alger
called on John Sherman Monday night. At
the departure of Gen. Alger Mr.. Sherman
said that no significance must be attached
to the visit, as it was purely Of social
nature. He smilingly added:
The secretary and l are old and COED
friends, you KNOW"
Inc pending controversy between Secre-
tary Alger and General Miles, who has been
the lifelong friend Of Mr.. Sherman, adds
to the bellef that the secretary sought III
MS visit to pave the way for reconciliation
with the commanding general Of the army
and thereby to avert possible disaster to
himself. The significance Of the meeting is
enhanced by the fact that Secretary Alger
has not heretofore been a visitor at the
Sherman mansion. While both were mem
bers OF the cabinet the usual courtes.es
were exchanged, but no closer friendship
existed. All the circumstances lead to the
belief that for the second time General Al
ger has been forced to make peace viii.
John Sherman. Given an opportunity to
enter the cabinet of President Mckinley.
General Alger was compelled to see Mr..
Sherman and adjust the differences between
them growing out of the presidential con-
test in which both figured as aspirants for
the nomination

There are only S91 men in the general
hospital today, which is low figure. There
have been many furloughs granted conva-
lescents who have gone home. There are
four convalescent wards without patients
One hundred and fifty men in the hospital
are down with typohid fever. One hundred
men left camp on the morning train today
on furloughs.
The Sth Ohio volunteers were scheduled
to leave Camp Wikoff this morning, but
owing to the conflict IN orders the regiment
remained here.
1t seems that on last Thursday the secre-
tary of war directed the Sth Ohio to go to
Columbus and furloughed 1t for 60 days
On Saturday last, when the president was
at the camp. Col Hard, in command of
the regiment, pointed out to him that it
would be much more convenient to separate
the regiment into two sections in New
York, one to go by the Pennsylvania and
the other by the Erie roalroad, instead of
the second plan permitting the various
companies to drop off at their own town
in Ohio. The president turned to Secretary
Alger and asked him to give orders follow
ing the suggestion of Col. Hard, which the
secretary SAID would be done. The orders
undoubtedly were issued but the train ar
rangement had been made by the chief
quartermaster of the eastern division in
New York to have the Ohio men go via
Columbus, and the second order has either
been delayed in reaching the quartermaster
or it has not been acted upon. The conse-
uuence is that the Sth Ohio men are still
waiting to go. The matter is expected to
be Strengthened out. however, SO that the
regiment may get away today. after all.
The Sth Ohio volunteers left the camp at
o'clock, bound for home.
Gen. Shafter has stated unofficially that
a portion Of the Porto Rlcan troops which
are now on the way to New York will come
to Camp Wikoff and are expected to arrive
tomorrow or Thursday. The probability is
that among the troops is the 4th regiment
Pennsylvania volunteer infantry.
More desertions were reported today from
the ranks Of the regulars. This is due to
the announcement that portion of the reg
ulars are to be sent back to Cuba for gar
rison duty. There is & strong sentiment
among the regulars against returning to
Cuba on account of the killing climate there
Gen. Shafter is giving special attention to
the numerous desertions and the dssatis-
faction among the volunteers at not being
sent home. He has not yet indicated what
he proposes to do in either case, but he is
expected to take some decided action before
the day is past.

That the mortality is high is unfortun-

Oh1cers In Cuba Requested That
Money he Withheld.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-COnsidera BILE
complaint has reached the war department
from various parts Of the country because
the volunteer troops in Cuba did not re-
Ceive their pay. In most instances the pay
OF the volunteers was three months in ar
rears and the government has been criti-
cised for not paying the men promptly.
Now that the troops have returned to the
United States 1t develops that the men were
not paid because the coionels of 10 regi-
ments requested the paymaster general to
withhold the money due the troops until
they should return to the United States.
Paymaster General Stanton fays the govern
ment had an efficient corps of paymasters
and plenty of money in Cuba, and could
have paid the men promptly but for the re-
quests made by the officers commanding the
regiments.
