vestigatlon of the Camnpnd the Many
Rumors Concerning the Suffering
and Hardship End uedfllhere. Four More
Deaths in Camp.
Camp lVikoff, Montauk Point, Aug.
25.——Secretary Alger arrived here yes-
terday on a special train, accompanied
by W. H. Baldwin, president of the
Long Island Railroad. The train that
left Long Island City at 8.30 reached
here at 11.07. The secretary of war
was met at the railroad station by
General Joe‘VVheeler and some of his
staff, General Young and Colonel For-
wood.
To the correspondents Secretary Al-
ger briefly stated rthat he hoped to
make as thorough an inspection as pos-
sible of the camp in the length of time
he had at his disposal. He rode with
the army officers to headquarters, and
as soon as he was recognized the sec-
retary was loudly cheered. On the way
different camps were pointed out to
Mn and the method of conducting each
explained. Secretary Alger was espec-
ially interested in the condition of the
sick men and how they were being
cared for. He intimated that President
McKinley was much concerned in the
matter of properly caring for the sick
soldiers.
The reports which had reached Wash-
ington that the hospitals at Mon‘tauk
were overcrowded and that many of
the men did not have cots and were
sleeping on the floor or ground, were
evidently one of the urgent reasons
which induced Secretary Alger to make
the flying trip to Camp Wikoff.
Later information regarding the dam-
age done by the great storm Tuesday
night showed that it was more serious
than at first reported. although no one
was injured. ' In the, Red Cross supply
ten-t in the genera-1 hospital, which blew
over, were ~Miss Annie L. E. Wheeler,
daughter of General Wheeler, and six
other nurses. At midnight, when the
worst blow 'came, the tent went over.
The tent of General” Randall, on the
first hill east of the'rallroad station,
blew over and he was drenched. The
ten-ts of Lieu'tenan-ts'Rowell and Jones
and Captain A. M.‘ Fuller, nearby, were
wet through, but did not fall.
The news that an order is soon to be
issued at Washington to muster out
the volunteers in camp, including the.
Rough Riders and 'the Seventy-first
regiment, has been renewed with much
satisfaction by the velunteer troops.
W'thewn these men are discharged, it will
materially relieve the overcrowding and
discomfort in the camp, as many of the.
soldiers now on the sick list will be
able to go to their homes.
, Colonel Roosevelt’s furlough expired
yesterday and the' colonel will be here
to remain until his men are mustered
out.
There'is much complaint in the camp
over the lack of fresh fruit and vegeta—
bles. The troops say their army fare
is good, but it its the same thing they
had in the South and they are tired of
it. One-third of the Sixth cavalry
were on the sick list yesterday morn-
ing, and they attribute their condition
to the lack of vegetables and fruit.
Many men are sick in the Second and
First cavalry, also. The grumbling a:
present is not open. but the men talk
a good deal among themselves.
In the general hospital there are
between 500 and 600 patients, a. consid—
erable decrease from the previous re-
port. In the detention hospital there
are 350 sick men. The Rio Grande
sailed for New York Monday after—
noon, carrying 325 sick, to be quarter-
ed ln Forts Hamilton, Wadsworth and -
Columbus. The yacht Red Cross on
her daily trip to New Haven carried
twenty-one typhoid cases. -
Four deaths [in the hospital were re—
ported yesterday. Lieutenant W. F.
Osborn of the Ninth cavalry, died of»
typhoid fever at eight o'clock last eve-
ning. His wife was at his bedside ,
when he expired. He leaves no chil-
dren and his body will be buried in the
Arlington military cemetery in Wash~
ington. Henry Benjamin, private in
the Second infantry, died of dysentery
this morning. The two other deaths
reported are W. W. Duggan of Com—
pany M, Second Massachusetts, from
exhaustion, and James Morris of the
Eighth infantry, Company C.
The cruiser Yale was in the bay yes- .
terday morning. She lan'iVed during
the night. She has on board 1,069 troops

s THEPEACECOMMISSIONERS "l
Senator Frye of Maine Will Be Chosen
and Probably Justice White and Tracy.
Washingtb‘ll, Aug 25,—“ is under-
stood that Senator William P. Frye of
Maine, a member of the committee on
foreign relations, has accepted the pres-,
ldent’s tenderof a place on the Paris
peace commission.
This will be good news to all lovers
of American interests. No more en-
thusiastic advocate of a progressive
American poliscy lives than Senator
FrYe, as his record «in behalf of a re-
vival of the shipping interests of the
United States, the construction of the
Nicaragua canal, the annexation of
Hawaii, and the abandonment of Spam-
lsh control and sovereignty on the
western continent show. He believes
in flying the Stars and Stripes wher-
ever, in the providence of God, they
have been raised. '
Senator Frye was ranking member of
the committee on foreign relations
when Senator Sherman left to enter
the cabinet last year, and would have
been its chairman had he not voluntari-
ly stepped aside for Mr. Davis of Min-
nesota, who will be a. colleague on the
commission. ,
He preferred to retain his chairman-
ship of the committee on commerce be-
cause of his interest and experience in
the questions coming under its juris-
diction.
Secretary Day does not agree with
Senator Allison and other prominent
men who have been quoted as saying
that negotiations will be long drawn
out; on the other hand he looks for
their speedy conclusion.
In this matter the war department
does not agree with the representa—
tive of the state department. In .2931-
eral Corbin’s dispatch of instrfi‘ctions x15
General Merritt, forwarded yesterday,
it was said: ‘ '
“The question of returning any
troopsffrom the Philippines) can only
be decided after the ratification of (the
report of the peace commission, which
may not be for some weeks, even
months yet.” ' _ ~
The three members of'the peace com-
mission thus definitely decided upon
are Secretary Day and Senators Davis
and 'Frye.‘ J notice White’s appaintment
is probable, but the fifth member is
unknown. ' . ' =
It seems to be the general opinion
that General Tracy would make an
ideal commissioner, and he may re-
ceive the appointment.
