THIRD VIRGINIA.
Investigation of the Charges Against the s Regiment Continued.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The investigation into the charges affecting the conduct of the Third Virginia regiment at Camp Alger was continued today. Counsel for the regiment concluded his case shortly before noon, the witnesses introduced including Lieutenant Frank Adams of Company E, Third vir- ginia; Captain c. H. Moore of the First Connecticut; Lieutenant 8. D. Magsen of Company I, First Connecticut; Colonel Dodge of the Thirteenth Pennsylvania; Sergeant J. T. Taylor of the Third Virginia. and Major Scruggs of the Third Virginia All the witnesses corroborated the testimony of Captain Hutchins the reg mental officer of the day, whose evidence was given yesterday, and whose story of the events as he saw them has already been made public as part of the statement signed by twenty-eight officers of the regiment
 Lieutenant Adams passed through the camp twice at the time the riot is supposed to have occurred and saw no disturbance or insubordination of any kind. Captain Moore, who is temporarily in charge of the first battalion of his regiment, was with his men to the Virginia line and the hos- pital enclosure, where they remained about fifteen minutes. While present he noticed no disorder in the Virginia camp, made no arrests and received no order to drive any Virginians back to their camp,
 Lieutenant Magsen went with his com- pany to the. division hospital, but did not see General Butler, and remained on the ground only about ten minutes. He heard some yelling, but did not consider it dis orderly, and took it to be giving us a send off,
 The chief witness was Colonel Dodge " w cd fn %D hospital and post entinels around the road all night. Everything was quiet when he arrived, he said. He neither saw nor heard anything unusual. While General Butler was giving orders, Colonel Dodge noticed no disorderly conduct in the Virginia camp. Everything was quiet before the Connecti- cut gentleman arrived
 Sergeant-Major Taylor testified to about the same as Lieutenant Adams and sub mtted a measurement of the distances of the Y. M. c. A. tent, the division hospital and the camp of the regiment. He also spoke of General Buffers profanity. at

FRAMING THE
GOVERN MENT
GContinued From First Page.]

 the dispatch from General Lawton rela- tive to the CubanS in Santiago, but the order which General Corbin sent to General Lawton indicates something of its nature. General Lawton reports that the Cuhans are encamped about the city and do not seem disposed to accept the conditions im- posed by the armistice and some. troubles have occurred. Secretary Alger, in speak ing of the matter today. said 1t might as well be fully understood that the United States would control the surrounded terri tory, and that 1t would manage the af- fairs of that territory. Those who re- mained within the jurisdiction would have to obey the laws and officers of the United States, as General Lawton was informed.
 The war department today began the work of mastering out the volunteers which will not be needed further. The or der was prepared but not issued, as it was deemed best to await news from Manila before disbanding any troops. It is expected that all the cavalry and artil- lery of the volunteer force now in the United States will be mustered out.
 Reports of better conditions in the vari- ous camps are being received and espe- ciallyl flattering reports come from Mon- tauk Point, showing that the soldiers are being well cared for there.
 Preparations have been going forward for the movement of the troops from the camp which were originally established in order to scatter them about the country.
 Report of Yellow Fever
 The first report concerning yellow fever among the United States troops in this country came from Key West today. Sur geon General Sternberg believes that 1t can be kept under control.
 The war department has been anxiously awaiting news from Manila all day. Sec. retary Alger said tonight that General Mer- ritt and Admiral Dewey had full instruc- tions and full power to act and there was not the least doubt that whatever was done that in the changed condition of affairs since the protocol was signed, General Mer- ritt might ask for further instructions. but he had not done so. The war department will welcome the restoration of cable com munication to Manila, so that 1t may hs advised at all times as to the progress G events.
