Conditions at Camp WikofT Not as Had as He Expected. Nr.w York, Aug. SO.—Secretary Alger arrived in this city last night, and is at the Fifth Avenue hotel. In an interview he said: "I did not find the condition of Camp WikofT nearly as had as I had expected. I cannot see that there is any justification in the talk that neither the ill nor well soldiers are properly treated. I think there are splendid accommodations for all sol diers who will go to Camp WikofT, and especially now that so many have been given furloughs. Thursday I re ceived offers from New York and llrooklyn hospitals to take at least 300 sick from the camp." .Secretary Alger was asked: “How do you account for the confusion and lack of facilities at Camp WikofT.'" To this General Alger replied: “Did you ever go into camp with 100 or even fifty men? If so. you know there is much confusion with that number of men. What do you suppose it must be then with thousands of men who know hut little about soldiering? There may appear to be much confusion and privation, but it is only what is to bo expected in roughing it. On many occasions I myself have been in camp and have encountered these tilings. I found many soldiers lying with noth ing hut a blanket between them und the ground. Still there were thousands of hugs ill camp. 1 asked tile men why they did not fill the bags with straw, of which there was u largo quantity in camp, and so make beilw for themselves. They said they hud not thought of such a tiling.” CASE OF THE OLIVETTE. Surgeon In ('linrge Says I lie Ship U... In Terrible Condition. Toi.kdo, Ohio, Aug. ?!» -Dr. Phi!

I.osnoN, Aug. 2t5.—A dispatch totht Standard from Madrid, by way of France, aays: “A very unfavorable iin • precision has been caused in Madrid by telegrams attributing to President Mc Kinley the intention of instructing tho peace commissioners to insist upoa tbo cession of Luzon, that American com merce should have the same footing as Spanish in tho Philippines, and that Spain should pledge itself that none of the Spanish colonics should be ceded to Knropcan powers. If such are the intentions of the United States govern ment. the negotiations ara sure to bo laborious, even if art understanding is ever arrived at. The Spaniards con sider the cession of Luzon, their best and most important island, to be a. death blow to their prestige and sov ereignty in these regions, and that this would be Irretrievably weakened and crippled by the presence of Amer icans in the heart of their colonies, "Commercial equality with tiro United States in the archipelago would annul the only advantage and compen sation which they might have expected to have derived from the cost and sac rifices which have been necessary to maintain their rule in the archipela goes. The separation of church and state would bo most unpaiutablc to most Spaniards, and would create grave difficulties in their relations with tile Vatican and (lie church, let alone tiie powerful religious orders in Spain, which arc always disposed to side with Don Carlos against tho pres ent dynasty. "Last, but not least, any pledgo to refrain from ceding any part to tho jsiwers would displease many states men und people of all classes who aro daily more and more inclined to advo cate the sale of the Spanish arcliipel- A ngoon to the highest bidder, especially to Continental powe rs most likely to be in position to arrest the growth of nmcrican pmutMi ana commercial in fluences in the far East.” 0.V1 I'hliiMQ Women Arrive.
