PRESIDENT’S {PROMPTNESS I
The President Considers the Attack of
Certain 'Papers Upon Secretary Alger
and the War Department as a Perse-
cution. He Has Cmnplete_ Confidence
in Alger.
Washington, Aug. 27.——The war de-
partment has announced that the pres-
ident has ordered General Henry V.
Boynton of Chickamauga to make an
immediate investigation of all (the hos—
report their
condition to headdrarters here. In-
structions were given to investigate the
New York troops, and Dr. Terry’s re}
port especially, and to recommend what
action should be taken. _ '
Within the last few days the presi-
dent ‘has taken the opportunity to
speak .to a number of senators in re-
gard to the criticisms now being made
in various quarters of Secretary Alger
and the war department. The presi-
dent is quoted as saying that the criti-
cisms are-nothing short of persecution,
and that [there was not a. more consci-
entious officer connected with the gov-
ernment, nor one in whom he had more
confidence than General Alger.
The senators to whom the president
made this remark have repeated it, un-
derstanding it to be an ofllcial rebuke
of the criticisms. .
The ofiicials at the department still
refuse to talk about the alleged inter-
view wlth General Miles, but say that
they do not fear an
cause all orders to General Miles and
General Shatter were issued by the
presiden and are in writing. Every
order sent is on record with the appro-
val of th-te president.
No Complaint, Says Corbin.
Washington, Aug. 27.-—Gene-ra1 Cor-
bin says no complaint has reached the
war department from major general,
brigmdier general, colonel or men of the
' army regarding want or destitution or
lack of supp-lies for the care of the
troops. .
No demand has been made for sup-
plies, other than the regular requisi-
tions for troops, which come in the or-
dinary routine way.
General Corbin declined to be inter—
viewed on the many stories afloat re-
garding destitutiovn and mismanage—
ment of the war, saying that the facts
will come out in due time, and the
people will see for themselves what has
been done. - v j -
The whole department is greatly
stirred 'over thc many newspaper sto-
ries, and they were the subject of dis-
cussion everywhere, but apparently
each head of a bureau believes that an
investigation of the subject will vindi—
cate him and his department .
i'Dhe officers in Washington say that
the accounts of suffering have been-exc-
aggerated, but if there has been suf-
fering further than what war naturally
brings, the fault has not been wrth the
officers in the department here. Each
officer professes to be ready and ’w1l-
ling that there should be an investiga-
tion-3% _
Some officers say that it W111 be nec‘
essarvandthat they will welcome a
complete ”c gressi-onal inquiry which
will bring o it all the facts.

W. Philip received telegraphic advices
from Washington yesterday assigning
him to the command of the North At-
lantic squadron. Commodore Philip by

linquishes command. Admiral Samp-
son has been assigned to duty as a

Friends of Commodore Philip in this

A Fatal Encounter in Manila. I
Manila, Philipgine Islands, Aug. 26.—
On Wednesday a corporal and two pri-
vates of Battery 3 of the-Utah artil-
lery, after disembarking at Cavite,
were sent on an firm-ind. ile passing
through the strebfts, Private Hudson,
ln’fun, discharged, his revolver.
The natives, whd became alarmed,

London, Aug. 27.—A special dispatch
from Madrid says: .
‘-‘In consequence of inquiries as to the
situation in the Philippines since the

tinued.

g 'GOVERNOR eL'AcK INTERCED'ES
Be Visits the President“ in the Interest
1 {or N, "x. State Troop“.
Washington Aug. 27,—Governor Black
arrived in the city last evening- and
called upon the president. He laid be-
fore him a proposition that the New
York troops be permittedlto be brought
to New York. If the government did
not feel disposed to pay ”the expense
of transportation, the state of New York
would gladly bear it, even to feeding
the men while on the cars and in the
camp. ' . _
He recommended to the president that
all the invalid troops be placed on Fire
island, where they could have the best
of medical attention. While the gov-
ernor did not recommend :to the presi-
dent that the well troops be camped in
the Adirondack mountains, he is Stron-
gly in favor of that proposition, and
bin and the secretary of war, strongly
urge, for the best of sanitary reasons,
that this be done.
Governor Black said that :his recep-
tion by the president was of the most
cordial nature, and that the president
wished him to say to General Corbin
when he. called upon him this morning,
. that Mr. McKinley heartily approved
the suggestion of removing the state
troops to New York.
The governor will call upon General
,Corbin this morning and lay the sug-
gestions that he made to the president
before him. "
I It is Governor Black’s intention to
visit the New York troops at their
camps in the South for the purpose of
finding out their actual needs. He ex-
pects to take with him on this journey
Surgeon General Terry and Dr. Doty.
General Hoffman will probably a so be
invited to accompany the gover or on
his trip.

abandoned the policy of the open door,

“Diplomatic conferences have been of
constant occurrence within the last few
days. Lord Salisbury insists upon the
recognition by the powers interested in

Talk About U ,v’s Successor.
Washington, Aug. 27.—W>hi«tela.w
Reid's appointment as a. member of the
peace commission leaves the question
of Colonel Hay’s successor as ambas-
sador to England still an open one.
When Colonel Hay resigned it was the
president’s intention to make Reid his
successor, and this fact was semi-offi-
cially announced in a. newspaper of
which a member @f the cabinet is edi-
tor-in-chief. ‘
The Serious and determined opposi-
tion «to‘Reid’s appointment, however, by
the Republicans of New York shook the
president’s determination, and when a.
week ago he was told by those who
knew the situation that the Senate
would certainly reject the nOmination
he changed his purpose, and after: a.
little'consideration decided to offer Reid
a piape onjhejeace commisgigngs}
This appointment does not reduire
the approval of . e Senate, and Reid
is therefore safe in accepting it. The
only name now known to be under se—
lri-ous consideration by the president as
ambassador -to England, is that of
' Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, but it
is not known whether the place has,
. been formally offered to him or Whether
he would accept it if it ,were. The
question .as probably discussed at the
cabinet meeting.

“If the movement can be inaugurated

people to pay to the memory “of one
without whose aid we would, perhaps,
never have achieved that independence
and freedom which has become our 51,0-
rious heritage.”
THE SECOND N EW JERSEY
Poll to Be Taken to Find Out How Many
Want to Go to Cuba.
Hackensack, Aug. 27.-——Senator Wil-
liam M. Johnson and ex-Judge James
M. Van Valen left for Jacksonville yes-
terday. at the instance. of Governor
Voorhees. They will poll the Second
regiment and find out how many of the
members are in'favor of going to Cuba
with General Lee.
Some reports say that 75 per cent.
are in favor of going, but the soldiers
assert that these reports were started
by officers, many‘of whom are receiv-
ing good pay an are anxious to re—
main in the service. '
Dr. Currie of Englewood, who is a
home on a furlough on account of ill-
ness, says the Second regiment is not
in a fit condition to go to Cuba or any-
where else except 'ho-me.
Three deaths have occurred in the
Rutherford company and another mem-
ber is dying. -A letter received'from a
member of the Hackensack company
says that outside of ‘the ofllcers there
are not more than three in the company
who want to go to Cuba.
BANK OF SPAIN THREATEN ED
Security for Loan of About $150,000.000
is Worthless,
London, Aug. 27.-—The Financial
News says that the loss of Cuba to
Spain and .the certainty that neither the
United States nor the new Cuban gov-
ernment will assume the public debt
of the island affects tge Bank of Spain
more seriously than is rcaliz by out-
siders. The Cuban debt ‘ _nt’s to
46,813,760 pounds. The mill _ of fin—
ance in Madrid borrowed 34,000,000
pounds from the'Bank of Spain, giv-
ing‘as security 30,000,000 pounds of Cu-
ban interior bonds. Apparently these
bonds were issued without legal au-
thority, and they are therefore mere
waste paper. .
With Cub-a lost, the paper continues,
the situation is, aggravated by .the fact
that Spain w» 11 have to confess [the
manner in which she has misused her
control of the Bank of Spain. The re-
pudiation of the Cuban debt will tell
severely upon the bank and the gigan-
tic loss will perhaps compel it to close
its dors. '
A Sixty Day’s Furlough.
Was-hingym, Aug. 27.—A furlough for
sixty days‘will soon be granted by the
volunteer soldier at Montauk Point who
was actively engaged in the Santiago
campaign. The soldiers will be allowed
to go to «their 'homes, and at the end
of sixty days will be required to re-
port at a designated point probably
for mustering out. _
The furloughs for thirty days gran-
ted yestenduay to the men of :the Sev-
enty-first New York and the Second
Massachusetts volunteers have ben ex-
tended to sixty days.
This action was taken as a. result
chiefly of a telegraphic message receiv-
ed last night from ‘Senator Hoar of
Massachusetts. The senator asked the
actingvsecretary of war personally to
request the president to allow the fur-
lough'of the Second Mais'sachusettts to
[be made for sixty days.
