Contract to tho ('hilly Greeting Ac
corded Sampson a t>w Day. Ago.
Washington, Aug. CO. — Admiral
Schley received a great demonstration
at the navy department to-day. He
came to the navy department quite
early, aid after a call upon Acting
Secretary Allen he emerged from the
main door of the secretary's office. His
pretence in the building bad become
known, however, and as soon os he
was seen cheers came from tho clerks,
who assembled to catch it glimpse of
the hero of Santiago. The officers and
clerks from the navy, state and war
departments crowded the corridors
leading up to the nary department un
til it was impossible to pass through.
They crowded urou.nd the admiral,
eagerly reaching forward to shake his
hand. The women clerks were even
more demonstrative, and the admiral
was kissed by old and young without
discrimination. It was finally neces
sary to form a line and pass the crowd
around through the large rooms of the
secretary's office in order to give them
a chance to shake hands with the ad
miral.
Many prominent nrmy officers took
part in the demonstration. The ad
miral finally escaped into Captain
Crowninshicld's office.
The ovation given Admiral Selilcy
was in striking contrast with the
chilly greeting accorded Admiral
Sampson a few days ago. when lie vis
ited the navy department.
Admiral Schley will leave Washing
ton this aft. •rn.inn for Annnnolis
After a short stay there he will pro
ceed to lialtimore before starting for

jH»sc of meeting his old friends ntid
making a few minor requests iu behalf
of officers and men of his fleet.

a Complete Success.
Xf.it York, Aug. 29.—Admiral Samp
son's squadron down the bay has been
increased by the arrival of the Vesu
vius. The dynamite cruiser—“hurler
of earthquakes,” as the Spaniards
christened it—came up from Guantan
amo, Cuba, whence it sailed August 18.
“its guns were effective in their
work," said Commander John K. I’ills
bury. “You can say the Vesuvius is a
great success,” added another officer.
Twenty-six shots iu all were fired by
the dynamite cruiser at the batteries
commanding the entrance to Santiago
lmrlior. They containe I charges of
guncotton varying from 109 to 200
pounds.
As to the alarm the Vesuvius' shots
created and the damage they caused,
abundant evidence was obtained from
captured officers and men of Cervera'a
fleet. Captain Concas of the Spanish
flagship, the Maria Teresa, told Com
mander f’illsbury that one of the Ve
suvius' shells struck the barracks be
tween the lighthouse and Moro castle
and killed over too soldiers.

SECRETARY ALGER TALKS.
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.”

Serious Trouble With Germany Seems

Xkw York, Aug. 21*.—A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
“Trouble is brewing over the Samoan
islands, which under the treaty of 1S0O
are governed under a joint proteetor
j ate by the United States. Germany and
i Great llritain. Germany had marked
| the islands for her own before the
| treaty was negotiated, but her scheme
| for absorbing them was blocked chiefly
by the United States, which, by the
treaty of 1N7.S, had acquired the right
to establish a naval station at Pago
| I’ago harbor, and had virtually estab
lished a protectorate over the Islands.
“Under the tripartite arrangement,
Germany lias been a disturbing factor
and has endeavored to procure advant
ages superior to those of the United
States and Great lirltttln. Mr. Cleve
land favored withdrawing from the
joint protectorate, but President Mc
Kinley is determined to retain ail
rights in Samoa guaranteed to this
country by the treaty. He is now
taking steps to improve and fortify
Pogo-Pngo harbor, and dispatches
from Kurope show that Germany docs

THEY BEGRUDGE-US LUZON.
Tbs President's Intention to Hold tbo
Island Aronsea Spain.
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.”
