SECRETARY ALGER'S TRIP.
Going to Inspect Posts in Cuba and
Porto Rico.

Secretary Alger, who has been to Mon
tt cal on private business, is expected to re-
turn to Washington this evening or tomor-
row morning. Unless present plans are
changed he will leave here early next week
on a tour of inspection of the principal
military posts in Cuba and Porto Rico. Ar
rangements have been made, it is said, to
have the transport Ingalls,, formerly the
Clearwater, at Savannah by next Wednes-
day. so that the Secretary and party may
board il at that point and accompany it on
the regular trip to Cuba and Porto Rico.
There will be nothing in the nature OF a
junket about this trip. and the Secretary
will bear all the expenses of the party. The
only persons who will accompany him are
MIR. Victor L. Mason, his private secretary,
and Maj. Hopkins his military aid.
1t is not expected that the party will be
gone more than two weeks. The ingalls,
will start south from her pier in Brooklyn
at 10 o'clock Monday morning and is due
at Savannah on "Wednesday. This vessel
was formerly in the service of the LOUISIANA
Lottery Company when that institution had
it's headquarters in British Honduras She
is about 223 feet long and is able to make
16 knots an hour without exerting herself.
She will carry provisions for thirty days,
but is not expected to be out that long,
Secretary Alger first planned to take this
trip of inspection to Cuba and Porto Rico
Immediately after the adjournment Of Con-
gress on the transport Meade, and invited
the members of the congressional military
committees to be his guests that occa-
sion. but the pressure of business which
arose about that time in connection with
the military operations in the Philippines
and the reorganization of the army neces-
STATED an abandonment of the trip as orig
lnally proposed.

NO FRESH ADVICES FROM OTIS.
Expectation of a Conference Looking
Toward Peace.


1t is stated at the War Department today
that additional advices have been re-
ceived from Gen. Otis regarding operations
in the Philippines. Considerable gratifica-
ton was manifested, however. over the
message received from Gen. Otis yesterday
to the effect that the conditions in the
archipelago were such to justify the
hope that the insurrecton was near an
end, inasmuch as the Filipinos gave indi-
cations of an earnest desire for a cessation
of hostilities. Latest advices from Manila
indicate the strong probabifit of a confer
ence between the special commissioners ap-
pointed by the President and representa-
tives of the natives of the island looking to
an arrangement for the peaceful conclusion
of the present disagreements.
Notwithstanding the prospects for an
amica5le settlement of the troubles in the
Philippines, the War Department has de-
cided not to change its arrangements for
the dispatch of reinforcements to General
Otis, which involve the transportation or
six regiments of infantry from San FRAN
cisco within the next two months. The 9TH
Regiment of Infantry will embark at san
Francisco next week for Manila, and the
other regiments will follow rapidly as
transports can be made ready for them
The light batteries of artillery which Cen
eral Otis requested in a recent cable mes
sage will be sent soon as possible, as
they may be useful in future operations
necesstated by possible disturbances in dis
tant parts of the islands.

IN FAVOR cr DEFENDANTS.
verdict In Suit ,yRmages Against
Albert and Others.

A jury In Circuit Court No. late this
afternoon returned verdict in favor of the
defendants in the suit at law instituted by
Thomas M. Kelley against William Stone
Albert. Glenn Brown, David t. Cissel John
A. Schneider and Charles f. Schneider to
recover 100000 damages.
The trial was in progress for "A month
past. Mr.. Kelley formerly conducted a
cafe on the north side of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. between 12th and 18th streets. His
building was demolished and his business
ruined by the falling west wall of the Albert
building that gave way during the severe
storm of September. 1896.
The plaintiff contended that the wall
would not have fallen had ii been properly
and carefully constructed. This outcome Of
the Kelley case, it is understood, may do
away with the necessity of trying the other
similar suits growing out of the fall of the
wall, as the same questions are involved in
ali and Ii will probably end all litigation at
law in connection with the occurrence.
During the trial ended this afternoon the
plaintiff was represented by Attorneys
Henry e. Davis and Charles Cowles Tuck
er, the attorneys for the defendants being
Messrs. r. Ross Perry, William F. Mat
tingly, j. ]. Darlington and Job Barnard.
Justice Hagner presided
