illness with malarial fever which he con-
tracted in the service. Voris proved himself
a valuable man to the officers in the Porto
Rican campaign until his sickness, as he
had previously lived for some time in Brazil,
where he acquired a knowledge of the Span
lsh language. On his accomplishment be-
coming known he was promptly detailed for
duty as interpreter to the officers of the di-
vision who had dealings with the natives
of the country.
His was the first letter to reach this citv
announcing the arrival of the battery in
Porto Rico and when printed in the Journal
the following day proved interesting to
many readers. He never was able to send
another one however, as shortly after this
ne was taken i'll and was sent to the d.
vision hospital. Here the physicians dag
nosed his case as typhoid fever and gave
him what attention was possible The facili-
tles, however, were not as good as could
have been desired, and after two days Voris
made up his mind to leave the hospital and
return TO his friends in the battery. He was
accordingly given discharge from the hos
pital as cured, although only two days be-
fore the surgeons had pronounced his case
to be typhoid fever. on his arrival in the
battery camp he was put 10 bed on the
ground which was the best accommodation
that could be offered, and the boys, in their
own language made him comfortable by
making up his bed by picking out the
powders and StumpS from under him every

TROOPS TO BE SCATTERED.
Regiments at Chickamauga VIII Be Re
moved to Various Points.

Washingt on, August 9.-The interesting
feature of today's news of the war depart
ment was the cable from Gen. Miles stat
ing that he did not need reinforcements
and advising that no more troops be sent
to Porto Rico. The effect of this des-
patch was to stop the embarkation OF
troops at Newport News and to stop Gen.
Wade's corps from sailing. The disposit-
ion of the troops which are not now need
ed for active service was considered at
once by the department. officials and the
determination was reached that there
should be general movement from the
larger camps. Some of these troops will
be sent north where they will be in
warmer climate and stationed at camps
which are under conSi ideratiOn but which
have not yet been definitely selected. In
vestigation of number Of places Is IN
progress with special reference to the
health of the camp and water supply. lt
is believed by the authorities that good
water will go long way toward man
tanning the hea1thfulness OF the troops.
Some regiments will be moved at once
and those which cannot be moved prob
ably will be ordered to proceed upon prac-
tice mar ohes, the object being TO scatter
the troops as much as possible, and TO
relieve the several camps from the effect
of concentration. The belief is now gen.
eral among the officials Of the war depart
ment that concentration in large camps
and comparative inactivity. together
with the failure of troops to take rigid
precautions as advised by the medical de-
partment, has been the cause of so much
sickness in the various camps. 1t is stated
that one reason why con ,entTation has
been allowed to continue and no orders
were issued for the practice marches, was
the expectation that the troops might be
called for in short time for service in
the field.
AS this is no longer probable, orders are
expected to be issued very soon which
will move any of the troops and spread
them around the country in new camps
OF upon practice marches.
A despatch from Gen. Merritt. concern
ing the report Of a small engagement
near Manila gave only the merest details
and did not convey much information as
to the situation of the troops under his
command. Gen. Merritt has something
over 10000 troops with reinforcements on
the way. The next expedition is expect
cd to reach him about August 15.

most momentarily expected from the
moment the cabinet adjourned. The
President was in readiness for the call
| throughout the afternoon, but toward
three o'clock took brief respite from his
work and gained short nap. Several
members of the cabinet called, but left
after remaining few minutes in ths
| White House. Shortly after four O'Clock
Secretary Day drove over from the state
department. and joined the President, am
nouncing that he had received word from
the French mbassy as to an appointment
and ii was agreed tho President should
see NJ Cambon at half past five.
Tie embassy carriage at the appointed
hour stopped at the entrance to the
grounds and NJ. Cambon and NJ. Thieraut
sauntered leisurely up the circular walk.
When the ambassador and his secretary
entered the White House, it was $40
O'Clock. The President and Secretary Day
joined them in the library.
From then until scant hour and a
half afterwards the four were closeted to-
gether, going over the answer of the
Sagasta government. 1t was noticeable
that neither Assistant Secretary John
Moore nor Assistant Secretary Adee,
both of whom are authorities on
diplomatic phraseology, and one or the
other of whom has been called into con-
ference on previous occasions was present.
When the meeting ended 1t was five
minutes past seven. Secretary Day had
been accompanied to the executive
mansion by Mrs. Day and they remained
to dine with the President and Mrs. Nc
Kinley.
Shortly after eight o'cloc k Secretary
Day went to his offlos in the State Depart
ment, remaining there about an hour. In
response to inquiries concerning the re-
suit Of the conference with NJ. Cambon.
the Secretary said that no information
could be made public tonight. He could
not discuss In any way he said, the
answer which had been submitted by
Spain. Secretary Day returned to the
White House about 80

Postmaster General Smith and Attorney
General Griggs had arrived at the exeou
tive mansion.
The i've members of the cabinet re-
NAMED in conference with the President
until 10. 80 O'Clock. Assurance was given
that the conference did not amount to a
formal meeting Of this cabinet although
the reply submitted by the Madrid gov
'ernment was discussed.
At the conclusion of the conference,
Secretary Alger said that nothing could
be given out tonight about the reply of
the Spanish government, indicating that
it was q subject for further consideration.
