New York, August 31 —Secretary Alger Is hero. In an interview he said: ‘‘l did not find the condition of Camp Wlkoff nearly as bad as 1 expected. I can pot see that there is any justification in the talk that either the ill or the well sol diers are not properly treated. I think th< re are sufficient accommodations for all soldiers who will go to .Camp Wikeff, and especially -pow that so many there have been given a furlough. Thursday I re ceived offers from New York and .Brooklyn hospitals to take at least 300 of the sick from the camp. "To a person who knows but little about sol liering there may appear to be much confusion and privation in camps, but. it is only what Is to be expected in roughing It. On many occasions I myself have been tn camp and have encountered these things. "I found my soldiers lying with nothing but a blanket between them and the ground. Still there were thousands of bags in camp. 1 asked the men why they did not fill tile bags with straw, of which there was a large quantity in camp, and so make beds for themselves. They said they had not thought of such a thing. "The first day 1 went through the de tention hospital, and later the general hos pital, and 1 talked with nearly every man who was awake. I said to all of them: IBoys. is there anything you want?’ They all answered. 'Nothing; we are quite eorn fortabh ’ A few of the men had no cots, but this was soon remedied. There are some few sick men. but there is no yellow fever. There Is some typhoid. 1 saw some men there as yellow as any paint you ever saw, and nothing remained of them but skin and tones,” cerverTancT HIS OFFICERS Will Return to Spain Immedi ately and Without Parole.

London. August 31.—A dispatch to the Central News from the Wady Hamed camp depicts a striking desert scene on the Nile banks before the Sirdir Friday evening. A motley horde of Jaalins and emits from other friendly tribes paraded before their commander, Major Stuart Wortley. The tribesmen acted In the most elated manner possible at the prospect of revenging themselves upon the dervishes. Their evolutinos were strange and pictur esque m the extreme. In a circular forma tion they swept across the sand waving their weapons. Then came a deafening noise from a number of tom-toms con cluding the weirdly fierce war dance. The tom-tarns rumbled away into silence and the scene changed. Ln single file and in across the field. Each man as he reached the Glare where Major Wortley stood stopped and impressively saluted the Egyptian colors. Most of them had fought the Egyptian forces determinedly for year®, but now showed their devotion in common cause against the dervishes. After the a squad of camel men, armed With great double-edged swords, such as had been used in the crusades, also paraded. All sought to show their devotion to Wortley, who was delighted at the physique and appearance of his wild recruits. His ranks are swelled daily, many coming from a great distance. Their equipment is motley and their discipline is all their own. but they are all fighters. Several deserters from Omdurman have joined the British- Egyptian forces. Proper Styles.

HENRI WROTE 1 LETTER Which Figures in the Case, and that He Was the Author Will Nullify Much Evidence. Paris, August 31.—The arrest of Lieuten ant Oolonel Henry on the discovery that he was the author of a letter which figured In the Dreyfus case, is one of the most sen sational developments in this whole affair. Colonel Henry has been throughout the ’champion of the army against Colonel Pi quard, with whom he fought a duel. The new developments appears to alter the aspect of both the Dreyfus and Zola cases and will practically nullify the evi dence of Generals Pellieux and Boisdeffre and the declarations of Minister for War Cavaignac in the chamber of deputies. Some believe the turning point in the Dreyfus case has been reached and the arrest of Colonel Henry will lead to a new trial of the prisoner of Devil’s Island. It appears that as soon as Cavaignac as sumed the office of minister of war he charged the official bureau to make a thorough research of the 'Dreyfus ease and it was this inquiry which resulted in the discovered documents, recently read in the chamber of deputies by Cavaignac, showing that the proof of the guilt of Dreyfus was forged. When Henry was summoned to the ministry of war and questioned in the presence of Gen. Boi.se deffre he first affirmed itne authenticity of the incriminating document, but when diserepanies were pointed out he at first admitted adding the sentences and finally confessed to the fabrication of the wnole letter. It is affirmed, however, that while this discovery is not changed by Cavaignac's belief in the culpability of Dreyfus the minister is determined to punish all the guilty parties no matter what their rank or position may be. Col. Henry is to be tried by court mar tial. BOUND FOR NEWPORT. Nurrber ot Vessels Have Left Porto Rico for Northern Port.

Charged that He Refused to Give Medicine to Soldiers. Chambersburg, Pa., August 31.—Dr. J. S. Kennedy, first assistant surgeon at San tiago. writes regarding camp conditions as follows; “There is an utter lack of suitable med icines to combat disease. There has been so much diarrhoea, dysentery and fever, and no medicine at all to counteract 'them, that the men have acually died for the want of it. Four days after my reporting here there was but a single medicine in the entire hospital for the first two named and nothing but quinine for the fever and no tonic save the preparation of iron for the convalescents. The preparation of iron will not agree with nine-tenths of the cases and when the soldier or officer cannot take quinine he has simply nothing to take. “A captain sent to the Olivette for dys entery medicine for his dying son; there were quarts of it on the ship, but the drunken officer refused to give the medi cine because he might need it himself. The doctor went down to the Olivette and says it was packed with the stores for the hospital under Red Cross seal and not one package ever got to he hospital.” WILL SHUTOUT NEW YORKERS If They Endorse a Gold Man for President, Savs Gov. Stone. New York, August 31.—William J. Stone, former governor of Missosuri, was here yesterday on business. Mr. Stone, who is now perhaps the closest friend and pol itical adviser of AV. J. Bryan, made some significant remarks on the national situ ation, and with regard to the contest in this state. He said that if the Syracuse convention, which meets next month, should ignore the last national as he had heard it might, and nominate a gold standard man, the Democracy of New York would place itself in opposition to the party in every other state in the union and practically be without standing In -.he next national convention. “I don't ■believe,” continued Stone, that the Deuiycr«ts of Missouri have un dergone any change of sentiment on the money question, and the same may be said of all the Western states. They are more determined than ever to force that issue until what they believe to be right shall have been obtained and bimetallism shall be come a fact. With us it s not a a conviction that it is neees country.” With' reference to Bryan, Stone thinks he will certainly be renominated in 1900, un less there shall be very decided changes in party sentiment and conditions.

SHERMAN SAYS IT IS HORRIBLE, The Old Statesman Thinks that Someone in Office Around Washington OUGHT JO IE IMPEACHED The Story to Horrible to Talk About and the Officials Are Responsible for Soldiers’ Deaths. ‘Washington, August 31.—The interview with Hon. John Sherman, charging neg lect and mis-management upon the War Department, created a sensation in Wash ington. To another interviewer he reiterated some of the criticisms and spoke with deep feeling of what he termed “monstrous mis management.” He said: “I don’t see how there can be any mis take or misrepresentation as to the con dition of affairs among our soldiers in Santiago or in the camps. The official re ports, the statements of responsible of ficers and of the men who suffered in that campaign are to the same effect —that there were horrible suffering and great loss of life resulting from inadequate pro vision for the care of the sick and wound ed, and that suitable food was not pro vided for those whose condition of health would not admit of their eating army ra tions. They were short of medicines and suitable food and did not have surgeons enough to perform the services which the army demanded. “The whole story is too horrible to talk about and there can be no possible excuse offered. I cannot undertake to sav what individual authority is responsible, but the facts themselves are monstrous, and whether the fault lies with the officers In the field, or those in the department of the Secretary of IWar himself, the responsi bility should be fixed and the person re sponsible should be severely punished. It was known that there was going to be a battle; our army was sent there for that purpose and it was nothing short of crim inal to neglect those preliminary prepara tions for the care of the wounded and sick and to provide for the sustenance of the army. “The president might order an investi gation, but I doubt whether the matter can be adequately dealt with, except by Con gress. The persons responsible should be Impeached and Congress alone has the power of impeachment.” SUGAR MADE FROM A Peculiar Industry Now in Operation at Marengo, 111. A Marengo, (Ill.) special says: Illinois Is now producing sugar from milk. The great dairy district of the Fox River Val ley has another and novel method of dis posing of its product. A queer-looking factory is in operation in Marengo. A barbed-wire fence is stretched around it, so that the over-curious are kept at a dis tance. The owner is F. W. Patrick, who owns a large number of creameries throughout the valley. The secret of re fining the sugar is well kept, and seems to be in the possession of the one about the premises. The cream is separated from the milk upon being brought to the factory the for mer being churned into butter. The skim med product is curdled and then dried, af ter which it is ground as fine as cornmeal and shipped away to the East, where it is converted into a liquid and used for glaz ing purposes. The whey left from the curd is the substance from which sugar is produced. It is boiled down to a syrup and reboiled until sugar of a dark brown hue is formed. It is then trucked to the refinery where it is sent through the secret process, after which it is as fine and light as any of the granulated grades purchased in the stores. Milk sugar is not destined to compete with the product of the best because the former Is intended only for medicinal pur poses, and sells for something like 50 cents a pound. The industry is in its infancy and it is not known at present what its manufacture will lead to. CHEAPER WATER WILL RESULT. Committee Has Decided that Macon Is Paying too Much Monev.

They will be brought up at the next meeting and it is probable that they will be decided upon. ■lt was the opinion of the committee that ■the city was in need of a meter inspector.

Yellow Jack Is on the Increase in Havana and People Are Starving. Key West, Fla., August 31—Reports from Havana are that yellow fever is in creasing, caused by the concentration of Spanish troops, the bad sanitary condition of the city and the large number of half-, starved people yet wandering about the streets. The iDiario de la Marina calls attention of the health officers and civil government of Havana to the poor people who are dy ing daily of fevers and other illnesses. It says: “Corpses are left without burial hour after hour, some remaining over forty eight hours in a state of decomposition; others lie in small houses where fifteen persons are living, full of misery, having to be in constant contact with the sick or dead." The Cuban general, Mario .Monocal, has taken charge of the troops and the com mand of Havana province. The Cuban government has appointed 'General Rodri guez as general inspector of 'Havana and Pinar del Rio provinces. The situation in Havana is better as to provisions, but prices are still high.

London Says, Is Blamable for Our Wretched Camps. London, August 31—The Spectator says today: "The United States is learning with in dignation the details of what Its troops had to endure before Santiago, and is in clined to make a scapegoat of Mr .Alger. Obviously Mr. Alger is not a Carnot, but it is hardly fair to put all the blame on him. The real cause of the misery and muddle was the absurd belief so widely entertained in America that you can make war without preparation. Amateur sol diering, especially amateur transport and commissariat, is cruel work.” NEWCOMB STILL MANAGER. The Hotel Man Savs He Has Not Resigned at Hotel Lanier.
