Camp Bills Held LIN.

According to dispatch from Wash
ington, there was another hitch which
prevented final action on the bills pre-
sented to the amount of 100000 fol
the construction of Camp Willis. Sec
retary of War Baker called for the pa
pers and expected to dispose of the
matter before leaving for New YORK
City. This was the first time he has
given his personal attention to the
bills. The upshot was that he did not
give his o. K. to the payment of the
bills, and no information was given
out as to why he did not do so. 1t
was said, however, that it will be four
or five days before any action is taken
and it may be longer. 1t is inferred
from this that Secretary Baker is not
satisfied and wants further inVesti
cation. The general opinion among
army officers who have looked into
the matter is that in the last analysis
the government will have to foot the
bills.
