Praise for Soldiers and Sailors and Tribute to the President—Gea. Grecty’s Remarks. Discourses on the Spanish-American war were delivered last evening by the Secre- tary of, War and the chief signal officer of the army before the Men's Club of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. Mr. Charles Moore presided during the evening. and there was a large attendance. Following the informal talks by Secre- tary Alger and Gen. Greely, a violin solo was rendered by Mr. Anton Kaspar, ac- companied by John Porter Lawrence on the piano, and their execution called for:h appreciative applause. Secretary Alger spoke of the war, the manner in which it had been thrust upon the country, the unprepared con@ition of the Kovernment, and the great effort that was made to equip an army of 250,000 men. Speaking of the manner in which war had come upon the country after the destruc- tion of the Maine, Gen. Alger remarked: “The gauge cf public thought carried such a great pressure that there was no stopping it.” Then. he said, 250,000 men were put in the field. ail eager to go to the front. while there was scarcely any equipment for them. “There were,” he said, “some ol? guns, with black powder, in the arsenals, but there were few modern guns, except those in the regular army. “Consider these men, unprepared as they were. and you can realize what an under- taking it was to equip them. There not a factory in the United States could manufacture canvas for tents fdly enough, though they were runni their full capacity day and night. Extended to All Departments. The same condition existed in respect all camp equipments, he said, and there wi not a mule or army wagon at command, though 4,000 wagons and 18,000 mules w at once needed. All the harness for th mules had to be manufactured.
