The Sick at Camp Alger

CAMP ALGER, Aug. 4.-Reports
reached Camp Alger today that the
site chosen near Manassas is as un-
satisfactory as the old camp, but it
is not known whether this report is
correct.
One death resulted yesterday from
the march from Camp Alger to Burke
station, Va. Private John Hiland,
company D, Thirty-fourth Michigan,
was overcome by heat, and has since
died. The march yesterday was Of a
struggling character, the men con-
tinuing to arrive at Burke station
until after midnight. The men will
remain at that place until tomorrow,
in order to secure rest after yester-
days hard work.

AWAITING MERRITT'S ORDERS
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. AID
vices received today at Gen. Mer-
Rams headquarters are reliably
stated to have informed the general
that the secretary Of war and Gen.
Merritt have not yet decided as to
the necessity of forwarding to Ma
Mia troops in addition to those now
in this city waiting for transports.
These same advices intimated that if
Merritt required more men they
would be sent through the Suez ca

lions. It is feared he has given out
such information as may cause q
break in peace negotiations. SHAFT
ter has made an error from the de-
partmental standpoint which is un-
forgivable, in permitting the presa
to carry the request of Col. Roose-
welt and other officers for transports
alton to more salubrious camps. The
communication was turned over to
the press by Gen. Shafter, and was
today published, to the dismay Of
the administration. 1t is regarded
at the White House and war depart
ment as simple imbecility, as it will
have a direct tendency to lead tho
Spanish to believe that the United
States desires peace more than the
enemy. "If our peace negotiations
were not so well along" said mem-
Der of the secretary's Office, "this pub
LEGATION might protract hostilities for
some months. Very little encourages
the Spanish greatly. Shafter needs
personal censor"
Secretary Alger sent Gen. Shafter
a brief but forcible suggestion that
the matters set forth in the commu-
nication and the transportation Of
troops northward might well and
easily have been settled without
taking the entire world into conf
dence.

IL IL Puxsling the Autborities-He-
Inducements for shnfter.

! WASHINGTON, June m.-It was an
nounced at the War Department to-day
| that no additional transports for troops
| other than the Newport. which has been
impressed Oh the Pacific coast, nave been
secured. The officials. however, have
been busily engaged during the day IN
comforting with the agents Of steamship
companies. as well as individual owners.
with view to securing additional veszeis'
The department is decidedly averse TO re-
sorting to impressment. for various rea-
sons, and only does so when all otner
efforts to obtain ships fail.
OF the eleven transports available by
the department In the East, arrangements
are being made TO have half dozen or
more rendezvous at Tampa, for the pur-
pose presumably OF carrying addluonal
endorsements to General Smarter Inc
four ships which were at Fernandina LAST
week have been given orders TO go 10
Tampa. and one from Mobile Is already
there. Just what portion of General
Skaters achievements are to be taken
from Tampa has not yet been announced,
but with half-dozen ships at its COM
transport approximately 1000 men, with
their equipments and subsistence stores.
Most of the remainder, IL Is expected,
will be taken from Camp Alger, Virginia,
amounting. it is said, TO q brigade, but
this has not yet been definitely settled.
Secretary Alger was asked this eve
ming just how many reinforce ments
would be sent TO General Shafter. but he
declined to state definitely the number
saying. however, in a general way that
there would be between 5000 and 10000
men.
The lack OF suitable vessels for carry
ing supplies of fresh refrigerated beef for
the army in Cuba, as we'll as for the
starving people there. is proving very
embarrassing 10 the officials OF the COM
missary- generals department. Nearly
week ago General Egan opened bids for
supplying this necessary article Of the
soldiers diet. and would have awarded
the contracts before this, but for the rea-
son that there are no ships available TO
carry the supplies. The ships. when Sc
cured, will have to be fitted with re-
frtgerating apparatus, in order 70 pre-
serve the meat fresh, and this will take
some little time. The General is anxious
that the work shall be gotten under way,
not because there Is a lack of rations,
but because Of the fact that among the
soldiers the fresh beef is necessary, and
he is anxious to keep them supplied as
far as practicable.
Tho improvements at Fernandina, Fla,
with a view to making the place suitable
to the comfort OF "A large body of men,
are being completed by the War Depart
ment. Up 10 this time, however. II is
stated that no troops have been ordered
to rendezvous there.

to-day.
Mr.. Wright Is a well-known tobacco
man. and is a great traveller. He has been
around the world several times. He was
in Manila when war was declared, anu
talks most interestingly Of the conditions
that existed there when he left, just a
few days before Deweys victory. MI.

he has the control in certain eastern coun-
tries He finished putting up the ma
chimes on the evening Of April "a, ana
when his expert went 20 the factory the
next morning 10 look after starting up the
machines the proprietor told him he had
better leave, as excitement was running
high, and his presence in the establish
ment might cause serious trouble. MT.
Wright and his workman therefore re-
paired to the steamer-the last one TO
leave Manila before the battle-and sailed
that afternoon. Their treatment had been
courteous and friendly during the three
weeks they were at Manila.
The Governor General of the Philippines
had issued that morning two proclama-
tions, both quite unique and amusing in
the light Of after events. Mr.. Wright has
with him a copy of the translation of the
more important one, published in Hong
kong paper. The Governor General, Basilo
Augustin Davila, very truly predicted in
this paper: 1.-The struggle will be short
and decisive" and added: THE God OF Vic
tories viii give us one as brilliant and
complete as the righteousness and JUS
tice of our cause demand" He speaks OF
Deweys fleet as squadron manned by
foreigners, possessing neither instruction
nor discipline" &c. The whole paper is
very ridiculous. almost as much so as
