PRIVATE SPARKS, Of THE THIR

APPEARS TO I3E A MILD CASE OF
TYPHOID FEVER.
From n Staff Correspondent.
Cnmp Alger, Vn., Muy 23. The rep
resentations made by aggrieved con
gressmen from I'cnnsylvanla and other
rtatca regarding the condition of af
fairs at the camp have evidently had
their effect, for today a corpj of nrte-j-ian
well sinkers arrived on the ground
and begnn searching for water. Major
(loneral Graham also came on the
Held to p?rfionally superintend the
work of bettering affairs and by way
of bringing assurance to the complain
ing men lost no tlmo In sending out
a formal notice that he had taken act
ive command and would hereafter lw.
permanent hcadfiunrters on the ground.
It was given out with Genenl
Graham's coming, that the war depart
ment had definitely decided not. to
change, the camp locatloii.belngsatlslled
that the plans it has under way for the
bettetment of the water supply and the
Improvement of the roads will over
come all rawe of complaint, regard
ing the fear of a water famine and the
delay in getting oil" supplies and equip
ment. General Graham, accompanied by
Colonel Glrard, has chief sutgeon made
a personal Inspection of the camp this
afternoon and at Its conclusion they
impressed thcmselvrrf as being satls
l'nd that with the completion
of contemplated Improvements the
camp will be satisfactory In
very way. Now that there Is
a head to the division some system In
the management of affairs is prom
ised. BRIGADES TO UK FORMED.
General Graham Informed Colonel
(Vii'son that he will in a day or two,
il 'possible tomorrow, brigade the var
ious regiments and place them In
i hat-go of the senior colonel who will
act and be rewarded as a brigadier.
The four Pennsylvania re.glments,
Mxth, Eighth Twelfth and Thirteenth,
m ill form one brigade and Colonel'
Schnll, c.x-lirlgndler of the llrst brigade,
National Guatd of Pennsylvania, now
olonol of the sixth, will be placed in
command.
Surgeon General Glrard made an an
nouncement during the visit to the
Thirteenth that caused a big flurry
among the doctor). Tomorrow ho says
he Intends to establish n division hos
pital. The regimental hospital will be
nothing more than a dispensary for
l-.eadacho and slight cold medicines
and the like. Hospital corps will be
no more and the staff of surgeons
w'll bo run down from threo to one.
homo of the deponed surgeons will be
plven a place In the division hospital,
but all those who cannot be thus ac
commodated will have to accept dis
charges. So much of this as Is detail, is liable
to cliango, Coonel Girard said, that
the general plan, he believed, would
assuredly be followed. Two stories
went out today that I feel called upon
to correct. One waa that a man had
been arrested while attempting to
poison a spring from which the Penn
sylvania regiments obtain water. Tho
other that typhoid fever Is already In
camp. Neither story Is true.
RESEMHLES TYPHOID.
The only thing resembling typhoid
was n. case In our own regiment, that
of Private Sparks, In which there nro
Eomo typholdal symptoms.but which
the doctors are loath to say Is such, be
cause of tho extremely mild nature of
the case.
There has been Just onoughralnevcry
day o give nssuranco that the sprlngw
will bo kept at their free flow until
the artesian wells and mountain reser
voirs aro completed nnrt after that
there need bo no further worry about
scarco water supply. Tho weather
continues temperate and the men are
In good health and wplrlts, there being
but two men In tho hospital, the one
above mentioned and another who is
sweating out a cold.
Not a word Is heard of the depart
ment's intention regarding tho soldiers
at this camp. One thing Is sure, though
If the talked nf Immediate invasion of
Cuba takes place, none of the Penn
sylvania regiments here can partici

pate. It Is suspected hero that tho
matter of equipping tho camp of Alger
troops will bo disregarded until the
department lias finished tho equipping
of the troops at more southern points,
who are, It Is said, to be hastened
across Florida straits.
Tho Thirteenth Is having a very lazy
time of It, dolnir only enough drill
ing to keep tho stiffness out of their
boncsj eating fairly good rations filnco
Sunday, fixing up their tents and com
pany streets and scouring the woods
and fields for wild strawberries and
some that arc not wild mako up tho
routine of tho day.
EASY GOING CAMP.
An Instance of tho happy-go-lucky
way In which this camp is being run,
or rather Is allowed to run itself, Is
found In the fact that Lieutenant Da
vid J. Davis, tho Thirteenth's advance
detail, located and staked out the regi
ment's position, without advice or In
struction from any source. When ho
arrived on the ground Thursday morn
ing ho went to headquarters and in
quiring for the o'llcor in charge was
directed to General Uounther. Lieu
tenant Davis made known Ms busi
ness and asked for insttuctlon as to
where his regiment was to be located
and what steps had been taken to lay
out the camp. General Geunther did
not know that nnv nirangemnnts had
been made for the regiment's recep
tion, but told Lieutenant Davis ho
might inquire from some of the other
ollleers as to what was best to be done.
Diligent Inquiry failed to discern any
one w ho. had or cared to assume tho
atithoilty of tecelving and locating the
regiment, so Lieutenant Davis proceed
ed on his own responsibility to pick out
a camp ground and with the assistance
of Lieutenant Wellington, an engineer
of the District guanls, laid It out. The
Thltteenth Is encamped where Lieu
tenant Davis stationed it
There Is no open complaining, as
said In a previous letter, but quietly
the men and otlleers are having their
little san and If the powers-that-bo
heard It, they would not be highly edl
llcd thereby. "If we were out on an
active campaign and ut an Inconveni
ent distance from a supply station,
this sort of treatment would be ac
cepted without a murmur, but here In
a permanent camp, only u few miles
from the national capital, there Is no
reason for such neglect."
Some of the men have no shoes at all
and no money to buy them. There
have been instances of where the man
who was assigned to picket duty had
to borrow a pair of shoes from a com
rade until his tour of duty was ful
lllled. ARE ACTING NOHLY.
The old guardsmen are acting nobly
under the disagreeable conditions.
They keep their discontent to them
selves and when a recruit Is heard to
mutter some complaint, silence him
with a derisive laugh and a question
as to "what'ell do you expect, custard
pie and rice pudding'."' The recruit
remembers that he hasn't heard the
veterans making any complaints and
walks away, pietty well convinced
that everything is all right and that,
on second consideration, he is really
being treated like a prince.
It must be said for the United States
army officers on the ground, and par
ticularly Captain Little, the comnils
sury, that they are doing all they can
to relieve the distressing conditions.
My offering to exchange fresh meat
and baked bread for the Held rations
of salt pork and Hour, he saved the
Thirteenth and the other Pennsylvania
regiments from famlshlnsr, for no or
dinal y man's digestive apparatus could
put tqi for ten days with salt pork of
the kind that the government Issues.
Jim. Flanlghan's famous Interroga
tory Is being hourly applied here. It
was understood when the Thirteenth
was hastened from Mt. Gretna that it
was coming to a camp of equipment
and instruction. In fact It was so
stated by the war department. Noth
ing has yet occurred, however, to In
dicate that the regiment has reached
Its prescribed destination. There to
no equipping going on and the only
instruction received Is what tho regi
mental ofllcers give nnd that is neces
sarily of a limited nature because of
the lack of the first requisite of mili
tary instruction, a. suitable drill
ground. There hasn't been a regimen
tal drill tdnee the arrival In camp and
there cannot be one until a drill ground
is made, and as far as a Inyman can
judge, no drill ground can be made on
this particular plot of 1,.",00 acres leased
from the Influential Mr. Campbell, of
Washington. T. J. Duffy.
GOSSIP OF THE CAMP.
From a Staff Correspondent.
Camp Alger, Va May 23. The resi
dents of the neighborhood cannot do
too much tor the soldiers. Tluw seem
to think that because the soldiers are
from the North they have a double call
on Southern hospitality. The same
suit of blue that was once so detested
In these parts Is now the open sesame
to the warmest welcome and open
handed generosity. In front of one
house on thu road te Falls 'Church, yes
terday, was ii big tank of ice cold
lemonade bearing tho legend: "Free
to soldiers."
Every shady lawn along the route
was strewn with lolling Meddler lads
and at every pump und well extra
glasses Invited the tired and thirsty
men from the camp to come in and
refresh themselves. Many n boy re
turned teucamp after lib) walk to town
gloatingly rubbing tho neighborhood
ef his belt-plate and telling his en
vying companions of how tho lady
came out on the porch and Invited him
In and gave him the "greatest layout
that ever happened." These are but a
few examples. Everywhere our boys
are treated ns If thoy were neighbors'
children. It Is a grand contemplation
and will nn doubt be n favorite theme
with the writers of the history of this
war.
There is no little complaint over the
delay In distributing the state pay for
the Mt. Gretna service. The boys are
nearly all dead broke and are sighing
anxiously for the coming of tho com
monwealth's golden chariot. Adjutant
General T. J. Stewart assured Colonel
Coursen Just before the regiment left
Mt. Gretna that the pay-rolls were
about made up and the pay would be
distributed at Camp Alger In a few
days. No tidings of the pay have been
received as yet, let ulone the pity Itself,
nnd there Is much worrying In conse
quence. Colonel Coursen has secured accom
modations for Mrs. Coursen In a farm
house within a stone's throw of the
Thirteenth's camp, and as soon as she
Is ublo to leave she will come on here

Hoimj beds stretched on frames made
of young saplings and supported on

in many of the tents. The Ingenious
soldier boy has not allowed himself
to be Inconvenienced any by tho ab
sence of the comfortable lodging equip
