THE CUBAN TRIP QUITE IMPROBABLE
Relations Between McKinley and
His War Secretary Strained—A Se-
rious Embarrassment to Sue-
cess of the Administration.
NEW,- YORK, Feb.‘ 23.——The Herald
this morning has the following from its
Washington correspondent:
“The days of Algerism in the war de-
partment are numbered. The pesigna-
tion of Secretary Russell =A. Alger, vol-
untary or by request of the president,
will occur within a fortnight.
“President ‘McKinley has practically
made up his mind as to Secretary Al—
ger’s successor.
“These positive statements have been
made by a gentleman usually well in‘
formed and were subsequently admitted
as a probability by a member of the
cabinet, who has talked with the pres—
ident confidentially on the subject.
“Secretary Alger is in Detroit. It is.
believed he is making plans for return-
ing there and resuming his old business
engagements. He is expected to return
here tomorrow, and it is not unlikely
that his resignation and the appoint-
ment of his successor may be formally
announced by that time.
“Secretary Alger’s contemplated jun-
ket to Cuba and Porto Rico is also said
to be off.
“This is one of the reasons for believ-
ing his resignation is to occur imme-
diately. It is said by one of his close
personal friends that he made up his
mind some days ago to make an ex-
tensive inspection tour of Cuba and
Porto Rico, to submit a report ‘to the
president and then to resign from the
cabinet on the ground of ill health. His
idea was that he could then retire with-
out a suspicion that he was forced to do
so under fire. .
“This same gentleman said last night
that the secretary had practically de-
termined to abandon his inspection trip,
for what reason he did not seem to
know, or, rather, was unwilling to ad-
mit. The invitations issued to the mem-
bers of the military committees and
their families still hold good, but if
the secretary does not go himself it is
probable the trip will be abandoned en-
tirely.
“In spite of statements to the contra-
ry, it can be positively asserted that the
relations between the president and
Secretary Alger are decidedly strained.
“President McKinby has felt for a
long time the serious embarrassment
to the success of. his administration
caused by Alger’s mismanagement of
the war department, and his close po—
litical friends have advised him more
a new secretary of war.
“Finding that the public comment on
the report of the war commission em-
phasized the demand for the relief of
Secretary Alger, the president has
found a way of impressing upon that
official the desirability of his early re-
tirement.”
Rudyard Kipling 111.
NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—Rudyard Kip-
ling is seriously ill in this city at the.
Hotel Grenoble. He is suffering from
inflammation of the lungs. His doctors,
however, hepe that the distinguished

will be able to pull through all right.
The following bulletin was issued at 2
o’clock yesterday afternoon by his phy-
sicians, Drs. Jaenway and Dunham:
“Mr. Kipling has an inflammation of
the right lung. This produces the usual
fever. There are at present no compli-
cations.” ‘

Photographing Elevated .ob'jeotu.
Officers of the Italian engineer corps
are making efiectual use of the tel-
escopic objective in taking photographs
of objects high above the. ground.
Among other things they have been eu-
‘abled to discover French batteries in
the Alps, which had not been known
to exist before that, and to make. pho-
to graphs of their external construction.
The application of the. telescopic lenses
for such purposes was demonstrated
for the first time when the scaffolding
was built on top of the dome of St.
Peter’s in. Rome to repair the lightning
rod. Despite the great height, an ex-
cellent photograph was made of the
scaffolding, showing a man in clear de-
tail at the top.
