ALGER TELLS A' WAR' 3T0RY. Originated the l'lan of flemlln the Siunltli Roldleri Home. WAflitiHO'nw, July as. Secretary Alger has always fo'.t n pardonable prldo In thu succjsi with which tho war depirtmont met tho tremendous problem thrust upin It by tho neces sity with which it was suddenly con fronted during tho war with Spain of suddenly disposing of tho thousands of Spanish prisoners cnptuicd In San tiago province. The histo.-y of that time has not been fully told, und it remained for Secretary Alger to sup ply tlie need by the following bit of reminiscence: On tlio night of July 0, 1803. the President naked mo what, in my judg ment, we should do with tlio Spanish prisoners of Santiago after their cap ture. The matter had received very much thought from tho President nnd myself, but no detluilo conclusion had been reached. I then suggested that Galveston. Texas, would bo tho best place in tlio United States, In my judgment, whero we could send thorn; thnt It was awny from tlio coast lino trnvol; a good haibor; that thcro would bo plenty of room for camping them, and that Its cllmato would bo us nearly similar to that of Santiago as wo could probably select. This seemed to meet his approval, ns it was only it question of timo, of cour.so, when their capttiro would bo effected. I went to my home, ns nearly as I cun remember, about 2 o'clock In tho morning nnd, being too tired to slojp, I lay awako for n while, but tinally dozed off. I awoke at daybreak and my first thought was concerning tho Spanish prisoners, nnd the new idea cntno in to my head, 'why not send them back to Spain?' Tills thought so deeply impiV35cd me that I formulated my plan, nnd, on tho morning of July 10, instead of going to tho department di rect, 1 went to tho White liouso nnd laid tho new plait before tho Presi dent, saying that it would bo an un precedented procedure and a most gracious act; that to transport the prisoners to Galveston would bo half thu dlstaucc; that wo should havo to clothe, shelter, guard and feed them there, und no doubt havo to ship them back to Spain in the end. I also stated that I believed that it would be a great' inducement to the Span iards to surrender, which General Shatter afterward assured mo was tho effect. Tho President readily ap proved tho plan and on tho samo day I cabled General Shatter as follows: " 'Should tho Spaniards surrended unconditionally, and wish to return to Spain, they will bo sent back at tho expenso of the United States govern ment.' 'Some days after tills contract was awarded, tho president said to me, as I entered the cabinet room: " 'Mr. Secretary, would you Hko to hoar something favoraHlo to you printed in tlio New York Times? and went on to rond the cdltoriul comment complimentary to- tho man who origin ated tho plan of transporting thr Spaniards buck to Spain." MyrnoV llntth Wltti lUntlti. Washington, July 2"!.
