MANY ADDITIONAL CASES OF FEVER A General Inspection Ordered the Second Division. OF NOTES THE CAMP Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAMP ALGER, Va., July 26, 1998. Contrary to expectations, the decisiur of the War Department that the camp shall rot be moved seems to meet with general approval. So much has been said by the regimental and brigade surgeons of the prevalence of typhoid germs in the camp, and so much adverse criticism of the trans- portation facilities offered by the quarter- master and commissary officers here, that it was expected yesterday's announcement would create something of a furor. On the contrary, the staff officers of the second division are much pleased that their men are to remain where they are, while those of the first division look forward to the time when their regiments shall be com- fortably installed in their new camp at Dunn Loring. All the officers on duty at headquarters express themselves as fully satisfied that everything will go nicely when once the first division has removed to its new camp. tis pointed out that not the least of the evils of a volunteer camp, the indiscrim- inate sale of intoxicants, is here practically avolded. If the corps were to be in camp in any of the counties adjoining Fairfax county, said one of the surgeons this morn- . it would be impessible to exercise even a decent restraint over the enlisted men, ct by establishing a rigid exterior & It is possible as the case now is to permit a certain number of men to leave camp every day. Some of these, jt is true, mis- conduct themselves whiie in Washington, but it is also true that the number of men ch would be more than quadruple if the sale of spiritous liquor; were not limited to a practical nullity. It is pointed out, in support of this argument, hi all the agitatios in favor cf having the camp changed that has been evi- dent here in Camp Alger has come directly from men materially interested in the sale of beer or whisky. Half a Score Sick. Half a score of men were taken to Fort Myer this morning either suffering from typhoid fever or suspected of having in- curred the dis Their names are: Pri- vates Price, Company F; Gilbert, Company K; Pease, Company D; Bowers, Company L, and First Sergt, Cunningham, Company 3d New York. Privates John Owens and vi McElroy, Isi Rhode Island; Frederick Fay and R. B. Page, Company G, 12th Pennsylvania. and Anton Carlson, Com- pany K, 63th New York. The symptoms are well developed only {n the cases from the Rhode Island regiment. The other men named have continued high temperature or some other indication of fever which hus excited the suspicion of the surgeons. The Deaths. One of the men removed to Fort Myer yesterday died shortly after reaching the hospital. His name is Peter Waldron, Company D, 7th Iilin At the time he was placed in the ambulance he was much weaker than was at first suppose]. He died within an hour or so after being placed in his cot at Fort Myer. The re- mains are to be sent to Chicago, where he lived. Two other deaths have been reported since yesterday afternoon, both due to wood alcohol. The unfortunate men were Privates J. T. Sheffiirn and John Lee, both of Company a Ohio. These two, to- gether with Private Kimbark of the sume company, drank some wood alcohol Sunday and suffered from its effects all Sunday mien id Monday morning. Kimbark dicd ye at noon, Shefflin yesterday even- ing at 7:30 o'clock and Lee at 2 o'clock tals morning. All three suffered terribly. The remains of the two last named will prob- ably be interred at Arlington. General Inspection. A general inspection has been ordered in the 2d Division, and is new in progre: ‘the 4th Misscuri was inspected yesterday, and the 7th Mlinois is belng put through the ordeal teday. Word has been sent to all the other regiments in the division to hold themselves in readin This is the severe inspection that has taken place in this camp. In the Ist Division every one is awai crders te move to Dunn Loring. The 3 Virginia and what was left behind of the 7th Ohio left camp this morning, the Vir. ginians having been routed out at’ 8 o'clock Col. Nalie’s men struck their tents at o'ciock, and had reached their new quar- ters and were at work setting up tents by 8:30. This is the record so far. No regiments will leave camp tomorrow, the Ist New Jersey will leave Thursday and the 65th New York and 12th Pennsyi- vania will probably not go until next Mon- day. These last regiments may leave Sat- however, if the wells on which the ruction companies are now engaged become productive before that time. Gen. Butler expects to remove his headquarters Thursday. The hospital will be the last Institution to go. Notes of Camp. Gen. .Davis will review the Ist Brigade of the Division, consisting of the 8d New York, 22d Kansas and 159th Indiana, afternoon. The ceremony will take p on the 1st Division parade groun¢ and will begin about 5:30. A second meeting of the chaplains of the corps is to be held Wednesday morning at 3» o'clock. There was much excitement in the camp ci the 7th Mitnois this morning when it vas learnéd the mascot eagie had escaped. It finally caught by Orderltes Me- Guire and McCall. Lieut. C. E.

One of the men arrested not long ago for selling whisky in camp, was caught again last night ard placed in the guard house. He begged to be taken before Gen. Butler, and when once before him attempt- ed to justify himself. The general, how- ever, refused to interfere to prevent the operation of the county law. One company of the 4th Missouri has thirteen cases of measles. ‘The construction of the 2d Division rifle range is delayed because most of the men in the construction corps are suffering from sore arms, the result of vaccination. First Lieut. Mitchell, one cf the bat- talion adjutants of the 8d New York, has sent in his resignation. He did this in order to accept a place as second Heuten- ant in the 4th Artillery, U. 8. A.

SERVICE RENDERED BY CUBANS For Nearly Three Days No One Slept in the Camp. HE IS NOW ON DUTY HERE nd First Lieutenant F. J. Moses, United” States Marine Corps, who was at Guan- tanamo during the exciting times there, and who returned to Portsmouth, N. H., on the Harvard with 800 Spanish prisoners, is in the city, having been ordered to command the marine guard at the navy yard here. Lieutenant Moses was seen by a Star re- porter today. The Harvard brought not only the Spanish sailors who are now being cared for at Portsmouth, but some of the Spanish naval officers now at Annapolis. “The Spenish naval offieers on the Har- vard,” said Lieutenant Moses, “did not know that Dewey’s fleet had destroyed the Spanish Manila fleet until they came on that ship. One of the officers got a news- paper after he came aboard, and reading of the destruction of the Spanish fleet, came to some of our officers to ask whether the report was true. It was not until after July 4 they heard the result of that battle, which had taken place over two months previously. They had, however, heard of the opening of the fight and of its progress up to the time Dewey withdrew to have breakfast served his men. “The prisoners after I went aboard the Harvard were well behaved, the only trou- ble being in having them keep their quar- ters clean and in order. While at Guantanamo did you gee any evidence that Spanish soldiers mutilated bodies of soldiers killed by them?” Lieut. Mores was asked. I do not believe there was any such ruutilation. The two marines shot while on picket duty June 11 appeared at first as if they tad been mutilated, but that was doubtless owing to the fact that together they recelved about forty bullet wounds at close range. The Spaniards evidently fired a volley on them. Strain on Officers and Men. Lieut. Moses recounting the incidents at Guantanamo said the strain on officers and men was terrific, not because of the dan- ger of thefr position, but because of the loss of sleep and the constant activity dur- ing the first part of their stay there. “From 5 o'clock on the morning of Sat- urday, June 11,” he said, “until 10 o'clock the following Monday night I did not cl my eyes to sleep, and did not lie down. No one in our command had more than a cat nap of two or three minutes during that pericd. I am sure not a man slept half an hour. We were kept awake at night by the attacks made on us by the Spaniards, and we had to work during the day.” “The Cubans rendered us valuable ser- vices. The first lot of eighty of them came to us Sunday, and afterward the number was increased to 120. They were valuable for picket and outpost duty, and gave us information about the location of tle ene- my and the roads, which are really only paths, leading to our camp. Once knowing all the roads about the camp it was an easy thing for us to station enough guards on these roads, so that we cculd sleep safely Monday ‘night. The Cubans were valuable for picket duty in the woods, be- cause their training was such that they could see and hear things there that wouid, not be observed by strangers, or, if seen or heard, would not be understood. The Cubans on picket duty appeared to rely more upon sound than anything else, and they could distinguish vartous sounis in the woods in a way our men *ou'd not. After we had been there some time came more familiar with things. stance, the sound of a land crab crawling on the sand sounds to the man not fa- miliar with It exactly as If some one were sneaking up on him, and our men were given many false alarms in this way. The Cubans distinguish these sounds at once.” Lieutenant Moses has no high idea of the ability of either Spaniard or Cuban as marksmen. They all fire too hign. Cubans Indifferent to Bullets. “On the morning of Tuesday, June 14, the Spaniards made an attack on us,” h2 said. “The Cubans’ camp was down the hillside toward the water, and when the firing opened they rushed up the hill. The firing was from the south, and they came on the hill from the north. When they reached the top they threw up their hats, shouting “Vive Cuba’ and ‘Vive los Americanos,’ a parently utterly indifferent to the fire. I would not be surprised if their indifferenc> to the fire of the Spaniards was the result of the long experience in seeing bad marks- manship. We have always taught our m2n to take advantage of every cover consistent with the execution of orders. The Cubans fired and overshot the enemy fifty fe2t at least. The Spanish fire also overshot us. ‘The fact that our marksmanship was of a different kind is shown, when, on Tues- day, June 14, we attacked the Spaniards in thtir camp. Capt. Elliott took two and a salf companies of marines and about fifty Cubans, under Col. Tornas, and succeeded in routing the Spaniards. According to the statement of a Spanish officer who-surren- dered to us the Spanish soldiers there num- Ler2d 400. Cubens went over the ground very thoroughly the next day and reported to us that they counted sixty-eight dead bodies of Spaniards, and a few days later four more dead bodies were found, among them bsing the bodies of two officers. On the American side one man was wounded and three Cubans were killed or died of wounds afterward. “Our entire Ist of killed while at Guan- tanamo was six and four or five wounded. We had 630 officers and merf in our force. That was about ene killed to every 100. At Santiago 22,000 troops were engaged ind 230 were killed. That was about the same proportion of killed to the number of troops engaged, though at Santiago the list of wounded was very heavy. So it doesn't seem to me that the Spaniards shot well at Santiago. “The Spaniards didn’t allow our force of marines attacking them to get with’ yards of them before they broke. what I have observed } am inclined to think the battles between Spaniards and Cubans we have read of have been fought at long distances, and $f they shot as I have seen them shoot most of their bullets went over their heads.” —————— Carson & Macartney’s Affairs.

Business of the County Court—Fun- eral of John Robertson—Gen- eral and Personal. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King street. Bell telephone No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 26, 1898. A telephone message was received at the station house shortly after 4 o'clock yes- terday afternoon that Philip Warren, a well-known negro character, was in the neighborhood of King and Peyton streets Grunk, and that he was flourishing a pistol. Cfiicer Ferguson proceeded to that locailty. When within a short distance of Warren, the negro saw him and took to his heels. Officer Ferguson started in pursuit, but his lack of training soon began. to show upon him, and he was compelled to give up and return to the station bcuse. It Is sald that during the chase Warren would stop at intervals and tantalize OMi- cer Ferguson by requesting him to put on a little more steam and hurry up. Last night Warren was arrested by Officer Da- vis, who caught him napping.

Fouche, the vice president of the French Astronomical Society, has invented a way of altering the present inclination of the earth’s axis to the ecliptic. What he wants to do it for is not very clear, Perhaps, however, he doesn’t want to do it, and merely puts forward his method as one possessing a purely academic interest. At all events, it is worthy of the attention of company promoters. All that has to be done is to dig an enor- mous circular ditch, say, in Africa or South America (its center must be on the equa- tor), and to fill it with sea water. Fresh water will do if you can get enough of It, but as the radius of the ditch is to be a few hundreds of miles, that is hardly likely. Having got your ditch full of sea water, nothing remains but to make it race round and round in the trench, whereupon the earth’s axis will begin to point toward dif- ferent quarters of the heavens from those it Tomgenh at present. amount of de- viet ‘will depend on the radius of the ai the amount of water it hoide, the speed at which the latter moves, and the time during which the motion is kept up. ‘We may suggest to M.
