CAMP ALGER TO BE ABANDONED,

Washington, Aug. Camp Alger is
to be abandoned by the War Department
and the 10000 men there are to be re-
moved to more healthful locality near
Manassas, Va. This determination was
reached by Secretary Alger today as re-
suit of recommendations made to him
by Surgeon General Sternberg of the
army who believes in frequent changes
of camping grounds of large bodies of
men and because of the rapid spread
and the constantly increasing mortality
from typhoid fever.
The trip to Manassas will be in light
marching order, giving the troops some
practical experience in army movements.
Some of the Camp Alger regiments
will be selected for Porto Rico, but the
expectation is all will first go to Manas-
as.

GARCIA HAD FIGHT.
Cuban General Met spaniards Near HoI-
gum.

downright 1898, the Associated Press.
PLAYA del Este, Guantanamo Bay.
Cuba, August Pa p. 1n.-News has been
received today from Gen. Calixto Garcia
and the Cuban forces under him at
Mayari, near the bay Of Nipe on the
north coast of this province of Santiago
de Cuba.
The report is that Gen.. Garcia has been
in heavy fight with Spanish troops
who were trying to effect juncture with
the main body of Spanish regulars at
Holguin.
These Spaniards were probably the force
that evacuated Nipe bay during the re-
cent naval bonn bardment. A large body
of Cuban reinforcements had reached
Gen. Garcia and the impression is that
he defeated the Spaniards in this engage
ment, or at least, held his own at Mayari.
The Cuban despatch says that two can
non had already been taken from the
enemy and that the Spanish cavalry had
been defeated whatever that may mean.
Gen. Garcia had moved toward Hol-
gum es it was reported that the Span
iards were trying to open their way
through the Cuban lines to the province
of Purto Principe.
The inhabitants of Caimenara and
Guantanamo are now receiving Red Cross
supplies from Santiago Col. Ewers,
without troops, is at Guantanamo. The
immunes who are to garrison this vicini-
ty have not yet arrived. The conditions
therefore are much the same rs they
were before the surrender none of our
forces being on the spot. The marines
here are likely to see service in the
neighborhood of Manzanillo SO soon as
the army can get focres into this vicinity.
The tug Mantle recently surrendered,
arrived here today from Cienfuegos in
charge of Ensign MaoFarline of the gun
boat Helena. Ensign MaoFarline says
that the reports from Trinidad, Cape
Cruz, Manzahillo and Cienfuegos indi-
cate great suffering and starvation
throughout the whole section, where the
blockade is doing it's work with much
expedition.
it is believed that Manzanillo will have
to surrender on demand to the navy be-
fore many weeks. A movement in force
against these places has SO far been rem
dered impossible by the necessity of
keeping ships here to fit out, probably
also to the weakening of the force in con-
sequence of the Porto Rico expedition.
| On the whole, however, our ships have
| been doing excellent work. The fleet
has completed all it's preparations and
| is now only awaiting the arrival Of the
battleship Massachusetts from Ponce. The
| Massachusetts, is expected tomorrow and
| she will probably have to go. All the
ships are deep in the water with coal.
| The provisions are in good order, but
several vessels weuld have been better
| if dry locked.

TO Shield a Big Band Of Crimi-
mails
WHO ORIGINATED THE GREAT -
LUBEC SWINDLE.

They BlackmaiIed and Hounded Him and
Finally Compelled Him to Leave the
Country-This the Belief of Ohcers OF
the Company.
Boston, August a.-The Herald tomor-
row will say:
"The officers of the Electrolytic Marine
Salt company and the detectives employed
in the case, now believe that Jernegan
has been bounded and blackmailed for
months past by gang of shrewd crimi-
nails, and finally forced to leave the
country for fear of exposure.
Zone of the officers of the company
said last night that he was of the opin-
ion that they could name every man of
the gang who originated the swindling
scheme, induced Jernegan to come in
with them and go to the front and do
the work while they remained under
over. and directed himiin his movements.
"Some of the other, in the opinion of
the police, have done their bit in penal
institutions and had no fear Of new
experience of like nature.
SIT is the general opinion among the
officers of the company today, said one of
them. that there were nearly a half doz-
en- men in the deal beside Jernegan."
The Portland daily press., 1898-08-03

Upon its II ceipts it will be transmitted
to the President without delay. In the
event Of Spain's acceptance of the terms
proposed by this country, the first steps
probably will be towards IAN agreement
20 close active hostilities, pending the
drafting of Il treaty of peace along the
lines of thu accepted terms.
According to presidents ordinarily re.
earded, an armistice would be pro-
claimed, and in the circumstances this
would mean the practical close of the
war.
It is pointed out, however, tina several
presidents have been set aside by this
government in the conduct of the war
and in the treatment of events which led
I'D to it. Ons notable instance in which
recognized diplomatic presidents were
swept away was the personal demand
made by Secretary Day upon Minister de
LONE to know whether the Spa nish min
lister was the author of the letter reflect
ing upon the president. Another prece-
dent was relocated to the past when the
government decided to return to Spain
the prisoners taken with the surrender of
Santiago. Precedents have been disre-
oarded in other instances by this govern
nent In view of this fact, therefore prec-
edents may not govern absolutely in the
conduct of the peace negotiations. After
the proclamation of an armistice, dipio-
matically the next step would be the des-
ignating by the President of tbs COM
missioners to represent the United States
in the conduct of final negotiations Of
peace. The terms proposed by this gov
ernment provide for joint commission
to draft peace treaty and to solve the
difficulty relative to the future govern
ment of the Philippines. Again, &C.
cording to the best accepted precedents,
this Joint commission would meet upon
neutral grounds.
Pending the conclusion of the work OF
the commission, the probability is that
the armies Of both Spain and the United
States will be kept in the field, their rela-
tive position remaining unchanged
during diplomatic negotiations.

MAY GO TO PHILIPPINES.
Possible Opening for Soldiers Anxious for
Active Duty.

Washington, August 2.-Although the
war department officials will not admit
that they have intentions of reinforcing
further Gen. Merritt's forces at Cavite,
thereS is reason to believe that some of
the troops now in eastern camps who
desire to see active service will soon find
the opportunity unless the government
shall change its present plans with re-.
spects to the Philippines.
1t is realized that 20, 900 soldiers can
scarcely be expected to maintain its pos
session and protect the Inhabitants over
territory of this extent.
Of course a considerable force would
not be necessary if the insurgents under
Aguinaldo could be brought to realize
that their interests lie in permitting I'M
disputed possession of this territory by
the United States. But it would be ex-
pecting too much of native character to
keep the eyes of the insurgents off the rich
loot to be had in Manila without an ade-
quate force to protect the place. Then
with the growing heat and dampness, 1t is
to be expected that illness will show up
among the troops. not to the extent that
it appeared Santiago. but sufficient to
require some of the men to be invaded
home and their places to be taken by
fresh troops from the United States.
MERRITT WANTS MORE TROOPS.
San Francisco, August AIN reply to
dispatches received FROM Gen. Merritt
now at Cavite. Gen. Merriam today cabled
that since the departure of the governor
general of the Philippines. five transports
with 4,S97 men had sailed from this port.
Scarcely had the message been sent be-
fore Gen. Merriam received word from
the war department that Gen. Merritt
had asked to have his command increased
from 10000 to $4,000 troops, in order to
be able to meet any emergency which may
arise on account of the hostile attitude
of Aguinaldo and the insurgent forces.
