CAMP WIKOFK , N. Y. , Sept. . " . . The
President and Secretary of War ar
rived at Camp "Wikoffi at 8:45 this morn
ing. Major General Wheeler and his
staff greeted Mr. McKinley , Mr. Alger
and their party on the station plat
form. Outside 1,000 smart troopers of
the Third cavalry were drawn up and
the converted yacht Eileen in the
roadstead slowly boomed forth the
President's salute of twenty-one guns.
General Wheeler met the President
because General Shaf ter has a touch
of fever and does not feel able to move
from his cot. Besides , General Shaf-
ter is still in detention and it would
hardly comport with the discipline of
the camp for the commanding general
to disregard the detention rules.
With the President , besides the Sec
retary of War , were : Vice-President
Hobart , Attorney-General Griggs , Sen
ator Proctor , of Vermont , Brigadier-
General Egan , Brigadier-General Lud-
ington , Major Webb C. Hayes , son of
the late President Hayes ; Colonel M.
T. Herrick , of Cleveland ; William
McK. Barber , of Canton ; H. II. Her
rick , of Cleveland ; Secretary Porter
and Assistant Secretary Cortelyou.
The women of the party were : Mrs.
Algcr and Miss lleckcr.
Major-General Wheeler was sur
rounded by a number of his staff. The
carriages , preceded by the cavalry ,
wound up the hill to General Wheeler's
headquarters.
There the President took a long
view of the wide , treeless expanse ,
checkered with regimental camps and
hospitals , ouses of canvas amid
stretches of grass.
"This is beautiful , " Mr. McKinley
said , and then later : "Itnink I never
saw a handsomer camp. "
After a two minutes' wait , the Pres
ident drove through the detention
camp to Major General Shaf ter's tent.
The general was in fuU uniform , but
his face was flushed with fever. He
endeavored to rise from the chair in
which he sat as the President entered
the tent.
"Don't get up , general , " said Mr.
McKinley , as they shook hands. "You
are entitled to rest. How are you ? "
"A little achy , ' ' replied the general ,
"but otherwise all right. "
Mrs. Alger remained in General
Shafter's tent while the President ,
Secretary Alger , Mr. Griggs and others
went to the general hospital.
ROOSEVELT IS THE MAN ,
The Famous " -Rough Rider"V111 Be
Is"ominitccl for Governor.
NKW YOKK , Sept. . a. Roosevelt ,
nothing but Roosevelt , was heard at
political headquarters yesterday.
Whatever may be thought of the
source of the report , the positive an
nouncement was made at Democratic
headquarters in the Hoffman house
that Colonel Roosevelt will ba nomi
nated for governor by the Repub
licans. Chairman McCarren confided
this information to a friend , and he
added that Richard Croker is of the
same opinion. He also announced that
the Democratic campaign committee
is making plans to meet the situation.
The news from Democratic head
quarters was practically confirmed by
various Republican leaders at the Fif tn
Avenue hotel. It was admitted that
100 of the 132 delegates from Brooklyn
would vote for Roosevelt. This , it was
said , settled all doubt about Reese
velt's nomination.
Senator Platt is quoted as having
made this statement to a high state of
ficial :
" I have decided to favor the nomina
tion of Colonel Roosevelt for governor.
I know he will be nominated at the
state convention to be held in Saratoga
September 27,1 believe by acclamation.
I am also convinced that he will l > ? .

Seeking the Missing Mines.
SAN FRANCISCO , Sept. 5. Major
finer of the United States engineer
corps has removed fifty-six of the
sixty-three mines or torpedoes put in
this bay at the outbreak of the war
with Spain. He is experiencing some
difficulty in locating the remaining six
mines , as they have dragged their an
chors for a distance of a mile or more ,
and several 01 them have been de
tached from the cables connecting
them with the shore. The major
hopes to locate the missing mines in a
flay or two and store them with the
others on Goat island for future use.
ESCAPE FROM A PEST HOLE ,
Colonel Studebaker ot the 157th Indiana
Volunteer * Makes a Bold Statement.
IXDIAXAPOLTS , Ind. , Sept. 5. Colonel
Studebaker's "Tigers , " ' the One Hundred
Indiana volun-
dred and Fifty-seventh
tners , reached hero from the South
yesterday morning.
There arc 130 hospital patients , anc
two were unable to march two dead
bodies were brought home. They were
those of Clifton Lowell of Fort Wayne
and William Snyder of Maysville.
Robert Darling of Elkhart died as the
train pulled into the station. All
were privates.
Colonel Studebakcr said : "This is
not the same regiment I took awaj
from Indianapolis last May. The per
sonality is the same , but it is made up
of a different lot of men. They have
fever in their very bones ; they ar * =
hungry and their strength is wasted.
It is all due to the cesspools in whicli
we lived in the South. When the men
left Indianapolis they were strong anc
showed their hardiness. They were
all right when we left Chickamauga
park.
"Port Tampa there is the most
God-forsaken , health-destroying spot
on the continent. I charge the condi
tion of my men to it and to the condi
tions surrounding it. For weeks we
were in camp there , exposed to the
fevers and the unrelenting sun oi
Florida. We have not been in the
shade of a tree since last June. It
was a happy day for us when we re
ceived orders to leave there. But
when we moved we did not better oui
condition much. The fevers followed
us , and , day by day , the regiment be
came weaker. At Feruandina we had
the same difficulty to obtain proper
food. The United States authorities
seemed willing enough to provide us
with what we needed , but Fernandina
is such an out-of-the-way place that
it is difficult to reach it. One railroad
runs to the town.
"When men who have been investi
gating the condition of the Florida
camps say we have not been in actual
need of food and madical assistance ,
they do not know what thej' arc
talking about. My men cannot march
in straight lines on account of their
weakness. They cannot carry their
rilles at the right position. They can
not march any distance without many
of them having to drop out of the
ranks to rest. I think that our com
ing home has saved the lives of hun
dreds in the regiment. "
The officers of Colonel Studebaker's
regiment hesitate about fixing blame
on any particular government officer.
They say they are still in the service
and a court-martial might meet the
man who talks too much.
SICK TO BE CARED FOR ,

department yesterday , looking after
the interests of sick soldiers of. the

telegram from Omaha sa3'ing that

without provision having been made
for their care. Secretary Alger at
once directed that the adjutant gen
eral of Nebraska take charge of the
sick soldiers and place them in hospi
tals , the expense to be borne by the
United States Subsequently a gen
eral order was issued to the adjutant
generals of different states directing
them to take charge of sick soldiers
on the same basis.

Misses Bodino Become Brides.
PARIS , Mo. , Sept. 5. Miss Lollie
Bodine , daughter of Congressman
Bodine of this city , created quite a
surprise here August 9 by marrying
A. B. Mosher , her family having no
previous knowledge of it. They im
mediately left for New York , accom
panied by Miss Mary Bodine , sister of
the bride. Yesterday the family and
friends were again surprised by receiv
ing a letter saying that Miss Mary
had married Brooks Cason , a prom
inent attorney of Washington , D. C. ,
the ceremony being performed at the
home of the bride's sister , in New
York. Both young ladies met their
husbands while in Washington last
winter.
Havana In Good Condition.
HAVANA , Sept. f > . To an outsider ,
to a foreigner just arriving at Havana ,
the first impression is one of surprise
at the peaceful and gajr aspect of the
town. The sleek , well-fed appearance
of its citizens appears entirely out of
keeping with the reports , the exag
gerated reports of suffering and dis
tress with which Americans have
been fed so long.
No Controversy for Shafter.
MONTAUK POINT , N. Y. , Sept. 5.
General Shaf ter declines to enter into
any controversy , he says , with Dr.
Senn in regard to yellow fever among
the soldiers at Santiago , and as he

Taken Kitchener "With 24,000 Men
Faces 34,000 Fanaticj Near General
Gordon's Ioith Place.
X , Sept. r . The British war
office at noon to-day received a dis
patch from Nasri , upon the Nile , say
ing that a gunboat had returned there
and had reported that there were no
casualties among- the Anglo-Egyptian
forces , that the right bank of the
river had been completely cleared of
all forts , that the forts on Tuti island ,
opposite Omdurman had been demol
ished and that the guns had been cap
tured. The dispatch also said the
howitzer practice of the sirdar's force
was excellent.
Later the war office received another
dispatch from General Sir Herbert
Kitchener by way of Nasri. It was
not dated and read as follows : ' "Owing
to the wet weather the lines have been
broken and telegraphic communica
tion has been interrupted. Am send
ing this to Nasri to be forwarded.
The march has been very favorable.
Practically none has fallen out of the
ranks or been invalided.
"During the two days we have driven
in the dervish cavalry and small par-
tics , after slight resistance. From Jo-
bel Royan we inarched to Wad-el-Obcid ,
thence to Surarat. This morning1 we
reached Egina , a mile and a half south
of Keneri , six miles from Omdurman.
The mounted camel corps , with a horse
battery , pushed forward to Khorsham-
ba , whereupon the entire dervish force
issued from Omdurman and were clear
ly visible. I estimated his force at
3J.OOO men. They advanced at 11 a.m. "
The sirdar's dispatch was apparently
sent after receiving Kcppel's report
and the telegram breaks off at an im
portant point.
In another dispatch General Kitch
ener added : "The dervishes advanced
at 11 o'clock a. m. as if to attack us. to
meet which I disposed of our force in
a good , open position , with a clear
field of fire. The Khalifa's force had
halted three miles southwest of our
position and is now there , at 5 p. m.
"Early this morning , according to
orders , the gunboats advanced , towing
a howitzer battery and barges , in sup
port of the Arabs upon the right
bank. The howitzers took up a po
sition opposite Omdurman , and the
gunboats bombarded the forts. They
have not returned , but their fire has
partially demolished the dome over the
Mahdi's tomb. All well. "
Omdurman is the dervish camp across
from Khartoum , where an army of
35,000 fanatics awaited the attack of
General Sir Herbert Kitchener's Angi1o-
Egyptian arnry of L'4,000 men. Khar
toum , nearly 1,500 miles up the Nile ,
has been the objective point of the
English army ever since Gordon per
ished there. Sir Herbert Kitchener
has conducted a brilliant campaign , so
far. losing few men in the burning
heat of the desert , and keeping in
touch with his base of supplies all the
way up the Nile.
SOLDIERS WITHOUT PAY ,
The Paymaster's Department of the Army
Charged With Incompotency.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 5. Criticism is
now being directed at the paymaster's
department of the army. It is assert
ed that regiments which have been
furloughed from one to two months
preparatory to being mustered out of
the service have been sent home with
out their paj % In some cases three
month's pay is due the men. The
army in Porto Rico has not been paid
and there is no prospect that it will
be paid for some months. A part of
the Santiago army was not paid all the
time it was away from this country.
There has been no time since ths vol
unteer army was mxistered in that the
pay department has been up with its
work. It is now from one to three
months behind with the entire army.
Honors for Uawey null HI * Men.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 5. The navy de
partment has closed a contract with
Tiffany for Admiral Dewey's sword ,
the consideration being ? . ' ! ,000. The
remaining ST,000 of the congressional

fraying the expeu.se of striking medals
for the officers and men who partici
pated in the battle of Manilla bay May
1. It is proposed to have this work
done as soon as possible at the Phila
delphia mint.

disposal of the Red Cross society tem
porarily , for the distribution of relief
here , being wanted for the govern
ment , President McKinley instructed
Miss Clara Barton to return to the
United States for the present , es
pecially as the Spanish government
had not reached a definite decision re
garding the entry and distribution of
the Red Cross society's supplies.
A Place for Captain Cotton.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 5. Acting Secre
tary Allen yesterday consigned Captain
C. S. Cotton to duty as captain of the
Mare Island navy yard in the place of

WASHINGTON , Sept. 5. General
Gobin left Camp Alger to-day for Camp
Meade , Pa. , his position as command
ant of the Camp being assumed by
General Plume. No deaths occurred
in the camp yesterday.
JOE WHEELER BLAMES NONE ,
Tbo ScCoring ; In tbo War , the General
Says , Was Unavoidable.
MONTAUK POINT , L. I. , Sept. 5.
Major General Joseph Wheeler gave
the following to the press yesterday :
In reply to a direct request that I
give the exact facts as I see them ,
1 will state : Every oflicer and soldier
who went to Cuba regarded that he
was given a great and special privi
lege in being permitted to engage in
that campaign. They knew they were
to encounser yellow fever and other
dangers , as well as the torrid heat of
the country , and they were proud and
glad to do so. They knew that it was
impossible for them to have the advan
tage of wagon transportation which
usually accompanies an arm } ' , and yet
officers and men were glad to go , to
carry their blankets and their rations
on their backs , and to be subjected ,
without any shelter , to the sun and
rains by day and the heavy dews by
night. They certainly knew that the
Spaniards had spsnt years in erect
ing defenses , and it was their pleasure
to assault and their duty to capture
the Spanish works.
"One reason why our army was
lacking in some respects in equipage
was that a telegram was received from
Admiral Sampson stating that if the
army reached there immediately they
could take the city at once , but if
there should be delay the fortifications
of the Spaniards would be so perfected
that there might be great difficulty in
taking it. On receiving this dispatch
from Admiral Sampson the war de
partment directed the army to move
at once , and as all conncctsd with the
army will recall the orders were re
ceived after dark and the army was in
motion , had traveled nine miles and
was on the ships at daylight. When
the expedition sailed for Cuba it
went there escorted by a large fleet of
warships. At that time it was re-
gai-ded as impossible for a merchant
ship to sail on the ocean safely from
an American port to Santiago , but as
soon as the Spanish llect was de
stroyed so that it was possible for un
armed ships to sail safely to Santiago
the generous people of the United
States subscribed money without limit
and dispatched ship after ship loaded
with luxuries and delicacies for the
Santiago army , and everything that
could be accomplished for their com
fort was done by the President and
secretary of war.
"I have just finished my daily in
spection of the hospitals. With rare
exceptions the sick are cheerful and
improving. I have nurses and doctors
to care for them and in all my many
tours I have not a single patient who
made the slightest complaint. It is
true there has been suffering , and
great suffering. The climate of Cuba
was very severe upon all our soldiers ,
but instead of complaining , the hearts
of these brave men are filled with
gratitude to the people for the boun
teous generosity which has been ex
tended to them.
WILFORD WOODRUFF DEAD ,

Rough Kidcrti Not to Parade.
NEW Yoiuc. Sept. r . Colonel Roosevelt
velt had a consultation with General
Wheeler yesterday , and when it was
over the commander of the rough
riders announced that there would be
