AGU1NALD0
IS AN ALLY
The Insurgent Recognized
by Our Commanders
at Manila.
INSURGENTS AS WARRIORS
Washington Advised That His For
ces Fought Well and Rendered
Great Assistance to Our Troops.
As Valuable in the Camp as in tUo
Held Effect of the News on the
Work of the Peace Commission.
Washington, Auk. SO. The war de
partment Is In receipt of Information
which may have a most important ln
lluencc on the dellbciutlona of the
peace commission. An official report
has been received which settles the dis
pute us to whether Ocneial Agulnaldo
was recognized as our ally during the
operations In the Philippine), and set
tles It alllrmatlvely. Not only was he
recognized as our military ally but his
conduct and that of his troops diew out
the warmest commendation from our
commander In the field.
The insurgents aie described In offi
cial correspondence as being splendid
fighters, and It Is added that they ha e
been most useful In the drudging la
bor of camp and field. In throwing
up entienchmonts and in performing
the outlier routine work pertaining to
a siege they nre described officially as
fully the equal of the American troops.
The fact that Agulnaldo was recog
nized as a military ally and that his
co-operation was of great value to our
troops is to be tihen into full consid
eration by the peace commission. The
extent of the recognition and of the co
operation of the Insurgents with the
American army Is not known, neither
is It known how close were the rela
tions between the two armies or what
obligations were Incurred, but if Gen
eral Agulnaldo was recognized for
mally as an ally by the American gen
eial it is impossible for the American
peace commissioners to dispose of the
islands without taking him into ac
count. The information regarding General
Agulnaldo was not received until it had
been decided that General Merrltt
should go to Paris to advise the peace
commission. His presence will now bo
the more necessary, as he can explain
the nice points with regard to our re
lations to the Insurgent leader.
Manila, Philippine Islands, Aug. SO.
Opaclble. the Insurgent leader, Is go
ing to Hong Kong In order to confer
with the Insurgent Junta there. He

Inductions by cable. Agonolllo, an
other of the Insurgent leaders, Is going
to Washington.
It Is considered probable that the In
surgent Junta of Hong Kong will send
a delegate to the Paris peace confer
ence. General Agulnaldo remains at
Bakoor.
Hundreds of unarmed Insurgents
vlsted Manila yesterday.

FAULT
Grosvenor States That He Never
Saw a Body of Soldiers Better Fed
nnd Better Clothed He Explains
tho Cause of Dissatisfaction Tho
Men Much Better Off Than Sol
dleis of the Civil War.
Washington, Aug. 30. Representa
tive Grosvenor, of Ohio, called at the
war department today In company
with ex-Representative Thompson to
report to Secretary Alger the results
of their visit of Inspection of the camp
it Dunn Boring nnd partlculaily the
statu of affults In the Seventh Ohio
Volunteer regiment General Grosven
or was emphatic In his appioval of
what he saw. He said;
"I never saw a body of soldiers bet
ter fed, better clothed and bettor shel
tered, than is tho Seventh Ohio regi
ment nt present. So much for the
general condition. Now ns to particu
lars' There were 1,300 men In the reg
iment. Except fiom suicide then' have
been but two deaths among them since
the mgnulz.Uinn four and one-h ilf
months ago. Including the men who
were at home to recuperate and those
In the hospitals there weie only 11 men
not iblc to repoit for duty yesterday
moining. A finer, abler set of men, I
never saw in mj life."
Continuing Geneial Grosvenor said
that the dlsatisfoi tlon among the nol
dlcis was all traceable to the fait
that thev had not been able to get to
the front. On the whole, ho (Gio.sveii
or) was satlsliod the men were veiy
much bettei off than were the soldieis
In tho Civil war. This lust view .vus
continued bj Senator Allen, of Ne
braska, who called at the war depart
ment to get news about the Second
Nebraska leglment, which he was told
was en loutt from Chlckaniauga to
Omaha. He said the main complaint
among the men was their enforced de
tention at tho camps Instead of being
sent to the front. So fnr us their phys
ical condition was concerned, while the
men had suffered a good deal at Camp
Thomns, so far as ho could Judge fiom
his own experience in the Civil war,
they were ceitnlnly no wotse off than
the soldiers then engaged.

PRESIDENT'S OUTING
IS NEARLY OVER
WILL SOON RETURN TO WASH
INGTON AND RESUME WORK.
The Contemplated Visit to Canton
Will Be a Mere Call Montauk
Point and Camp Wlkoff Will Bo
Visited nnd an Investigation of
Reports Will Be Made.
Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 30. While
President McKlnley very much desired
to pay more than a brief visit to his
home In Canton ho finds that the duties
of his office are such that he will be
obliged to cut his visit there to a mere
call.
The president will spend n couple of
days in camp at Montauk Point and
Camp Wlkoff so as to correctly In
fottn himself as to the condition of
affairs and the truth of the reports
that have been cheulated, from per
sonal observation nnd contact with
the men. The presidential party will
be at Colonel M. T. Herrlek's lesldpne-e,
"The Overlook," on Buclld Heights,
this city, until Tuesday morning,
when thej' will leave for Canton.
Big preparations have been made to
lecelve the president nnd Mrs Mc
Klnlej theie by their old friends and
neighbors, and the people of Canton
In geneial. It wns the Intention to
make the occasion a civic Jubilee. All
this, however, will now be reduced In
a mensuie from the fact that Pics
ldent McKlnley and party will only be
In Canton for two or tluce houis,
and then will take a ttaln for New
Yoik. Undoubtedly the picsldent will
bo given a loj-nl welcome dm lug his
shoi t stopover In Canton. On the
eastern tilp which Is part tif the pro
giammo outlined, the presidential
party will haidlv stop longer nt New
York than will be nccessaiy to catch
a train for Camp Wlkoff and Montauk
Point.
The president probably will be In
the two places mentioned on Friday
and Saturday, leaving Mis. McKlnley
In New York city while he will le
turn to spend Sunday and then go
back to Washington. The trip fiom
Canton to New York will be made over
the Pennsylvania road, departing from
Canton during the afternoon of Thuts
day. Mrs. McKlnley, the lntter's maid,
and Mr. George II. Cortelvou, assist
ant secietary to the president, will
accompanj the chief executive to New
York.
NO DBFINITF PLANS.
"The president really hnd no very
definite plnns for spending his time on
this trip when he Htm ted our" said his
secretary today ' He made the plans
along the way nnd has been constant lj'
receiving telegrams and other matters
In connection with the war that need
ed his attention. President McKlnley
and pattj had Intended spending two
or three days with Aimer McKlnley,
the piesldent's brother, at Somerset,
but the plans weie changed. It Is the
Intention of the president to get jih
much lest as possible. He probabl.v
will return to Washington for a short
time after this trip and Intends taitlng
a longer vaeitlon a little later this
fall "
Colonel Heirlek took another dtlve,
this time out Into the country Din
ing the aftcinoon Miss Helen McKln
ley, the piesldent's sister and Miss Mc
Klnley, his niece, of Canton, called at

WEBB HAYES' SCHEME.
He Has Plans for Reconatructing the
National Guard.
Cleveland, Aug. 30. Major C. Webb
Hayes, son of the late piesldent Hajc,
who Is said to be the only volunteer
officer that served in both the Cuban
and Potto Rlcan campaigns and who
is accompanying President McKlnlev
on his ptesent trip has proposed n plan
to the chief executive looking tow aid
the leorganlzatlon of the national
guard under the military law. The
plan provides that the president shall
appoint an udjutunt geneial for each
state, that as many bodies of militia
shall be lalsed In each state as cir
cumstances shall lequlre and that all
officeis of such militia shall be nomin
ated by the governors of the various
states. They would then be under tho
dlieet control of the national military
and much difficulty experienced when
the gunid was called Into service for
the Spanish war, would be obviated.
Major Haj'es said he disliked to dis
cuss the matter now for the plan was
still In nnd embryonic state and he did
not like to go on recoid until some of
the detulls me worked out.
Major Hayes, when asked what he
thought of the charges of staivatlon
from the leglments at the front, said:
"Look at me, do I look starved? I
lived on the samo rations as the sol
diers and have giown lleshy on thnt
fare." "I may bo wrong," he added,
"but In my opinion the gieatest cause
for complaint Is summed up In 'cooks
nnd homesickness' ". "Tho government
purchnsed bountifully of all needed
supplies There was some mismanage
ment It Is Impossible to deny, but In
vestigation will show It u case of
'cooks nnd homesickness' that crip
pled tho army and packed the hos
pitals." A conference of gieat Impoitnnco
was held at Colonel Herilck's home to
night. Piesldent McKlnley. Secietary
Day and Justice White were the con
feiees, and they weie closeted together
after dinner until a late hour. It was
admitted that the confeienco had to do
with the nppolntmenton thepeacecom
mission offered by the president to Jus
tice White, but nt a lute hour It was
announced that no definite conclusion
had been i cached, although hope was
expiessed that JuBtlce White -would
see his way clear to accept the ap
pointment, The opinion regutdlng the

In the wall of the cellar was a large
log with a slot In the end Into which
one of the dies had ev Idently been

TO RESCUE
Thinks That Camp Con-

Exaggerated.
RESULTS OF OBSERVATION
Claims That There Has Been a
"Perfect Hydiophobla" Among
Newspapers Concerning the Condi
tion of Troops Denounces Stories
of Camp Neglect as Unjournalls
tlc Knavery.
Chattanooga, Aug. 30. Governor
Black was seen tonight bv an Associ
ated Pi ess representative and was ask
ed as to the londltion ns ho found them
In the tumps of the New Yoik regi
ments as well as those at division hos
pitals. Governor lllnck said there appealed
to bt "n perfect hydrophobia" among
newspnpeis over the condition of tho
soldiers, that the pi ess bristled with
such plut'ses as "Hollow ej'ed" and
"Starving" In articles descriptive of
the lioops. He gave It as his opinion
that the matter was exaggetated,
"nnintif ictuied In newspaper offices"
and "the outcome and icsult of unjour
nullstic knnverj."
"My Impression " saltl Governor
Black, "of tho camp ot the New York
troops at Chlckamauga Is not half as
bad as I expected It would be. The un
favorable condition ot the camp and
hospltnls hne beyond a doubt been
very gieatlj exaggerated by the pa
pcis. "The ell vision hospital In which tho
sick soldieis of the Ninth New York In
fintry aie quartet ed. Is certainly In a
very bad condition. The present situa
tion of this hospital ought never have
been permitted to exist and should be
con octet! also.
"I think 'hat the troops at Chlcka
mauga park should have been moved
long before any sickness broke out in
the ranks.
"This Sternberg hospital is In excel
lent condition. I do not bee that It
could be made any better. It Is admir
able both in plan and management.
"As to the New York troops at Chlck
amauga I mean to take as many homo
to New Yoik ns I can. I shall endeav
or to have mnnj' mustcted out and I
will employ every endeavor to have
them moved to northern camps at tho
eaillest possible date.
"The hospitals of the Hlghth and
Fouttcenth New York me much better
in evei j- paitlcular than the one In
which tho sick of the Ninth New Yoik
Infantry nte quartet ed."
