MAJ. J. A. LOGAN, JR.'S DEATH.
Is Said to Have Been Killed by His Own
Soldiers

Soldiers.
If the stories told by those who re-
turned OH the transport Sheridan,
which carried the Thirty third infan-
try to the Philippines are true, Maj.
John Logan, Jr., may not have met
his death at the hands of the Filipino
sharpshooters, as cable stories have re
ported.
According to the statement of Geo.
H. Koppitz, purser of the Sheridan,
supported by others of the crew of the
transport, Logan was shot by some of
his own men. 1t is hard to believe
that any American soldier would carry
his hatred OF an officer so far as to
wait for a favorable opportunity to
cover his treacherous intent to shoot
him down. but this is what is alleged
to have occurred in Logan's case.
Purser Koppitz was disinclined to
go into particulars regarding the
young majors taking off, as he did
not like the idea of talking i'll of the
dead man, but on being pressed to ex.
plain some OF the circumstances said:
"Maj. Logan made himself particu-
larly offensive to the men by his over
bearing manner toward those under
him, and this feeling was heightened
by an incident which occurred one
day out at sea. Maj. Logan had pc
dog to which he was very much at
tached. One of the soldiers also had
a dog which was looked upon as a sort
of mascot among the men. 1t hap
pened that the two dogs got into a
fight and Logan's canine came out of
the scrimmage the worse for the en-
counter. Logan was so angered that
he seized the soldiers dog, and threw
him overheard. This action only
served to make the feeling more bitter
against the officer, and the threat was

openly made and repeated many times
that Logan would not last after the
first battle"
The fact is pointed out by the men
who returned on the 7th inst. on the
Sheridan that the cable accounts OF
just how Maj. Logan received his
wound in the battle OF the Thirty
third infantry at San Fabian are
rather vague and they think this is
significant.

WILL CAMP NEAR ATLANTA.
Secretary AIger-s Determination i'm
HeEard to Returning Troops.

Secretary Alger has come to the deter
mination to maintain summer camps for
the United States troops in the southern
states, and the delegation OF Georgians who
called upon him yesterday to secure that
object will be SO informed. 1t is also the
intention to maintain one OF the camps in
the neighborhood of Atlanta.
The only condition is that the present
Georgia quarantine regulations, which ope-
rate SO as to prevent the movements of
troops absolutely demanded by the military
needs of the case, shall be adapted 10 the
requirements. At present incoming troops
from Cuba who are anxious 10 get home as
rapidly as possible ara subject to unreaSon-
able delays at Savannah, and in case of
emergency that may arise at any moment
the War Department would not be able to
carry out its plans for the rapid distribu-
ton of troops. However, 1t is said that
surances have been given that the matters
complained of will be remedied, in which
case the camps will be established. The
number of troops to be located at any one
camp will not be large for it is said at the
department that only about 1900 soldiers
will be so located, but there is likely to be
much changing around among the men.
Troops returning from Cuba are to be de-
tained in Georgia camps about twenty days
at least before being sent to their homes
or to the northern post.

The War Department has been investi-
eating the charge that four of the second
Heutenants recently appointed, having been
discharged from the West Point Military
Academy were ineligible. The provision Of
law is that no cadet who has been dis
charged from the academy shall be ap-
pointed in the army ahead of the class in
which he was serving. The cadets in ques-
ton are Edward E. Downes, appointed from
Texas, and now in the Philippines; Nathan

bama; Louis j. Van Schak of New York
and Edward +. Haskell.

Department that two of these-Downes and

ANOTHER SHIP FOR SHERMAN.
Secretary Long Cables Instructions
to Admiral Sampson.

Secretary Long has cahled to Admiral
Sampson on his flagship now at Guantana-
mo, Cuba, to do everything possible for the
accommodation and comfort of ex-Secretary
Sherman upon the arrival of the Paris and
II necessary, to assign one of his own ves
sells to the task of carrying the sick man
to his own land.
The Navy Department is disappointed at
the failure of the Chicago to connect with
the Paris at Kingston, Jamaica, according
to orders The vessel has been a long time
in making the 100 miles between. Havana
and Kingston, and, realizing that she can
scarcely reach Guantanamo before the
Paris leaves for the next point on her itin
erary, if the warship goes into Kingston
for orders, the instruction was given to
Sampson to assign another ship to the duty
cut out for the Chicago. The north Allan
tic squadron includes several vessels well
fitted for the service required such as the
Detroit and the Marblehead, but the naval
officers admit that none of the warships
is quite as comfortable for an invalid as
the big ocean liner on which Mr.. Sherman
is voy2ging.
Secretary of State Hay has received a
cable message from the United States con-
sui at Kingston. Jamaica, saying that eX-
