EXCITEMENT. AT RICHMOND. '
Richmond, July 31. The high excite
ment caused, here by the announce
ment of-'yellow fever at Hampton sub
sided as soon as a rational view was
taken of the situation. The state board,
of health promptly served notice on the
Chesapeake railway, the only line con
necting that station with the balance of
the state, not to run trains further east
than Newport News. - The order was
hardly needed, as the keeping of New
port News open to traffic is so vital to
the Chesapeake and Ohio that they
have furnished a hundred men to help
maintain the quarantine at that city.
About two thousand people from
Richmond, visited Hampton and Old
Point yesterday and fully five hundred
were caught in the quarantine, intend
ing to spend the night at the seaside
and return (today. Many spent the dav
sightseeing and not a. few went into the
'Soldiers' home grounds' and did - not
hear of the yellow fever until they re
turned here. Much consternation was
felt here by the friends of the quaran
tined visitors until this afternoon,-after
tremendous pressure had been brought
to bear, the state board of health gave
permission - to run a1 single train to
bring away the' guests at Old Point and
sdeh others as wanted to leave. The
state board of health will go to New
port News tomoraw to confer with the
national health ctfHcers.
. Dr. Oppenheimer, president of the
Richmond 'board of health, stated that
there was no reason to fear an epidem-

Alger Mafe a State
ment as He
Retires.
Says Not One Dollar Was
Embezzled or Care
lessly Used.
Will Ask His Succpsanr in
Open Accounts to
Public
He Also Denies That Volunteer Regi
ments Were Officered Through
Political Influence. t
Washington, July 31.-wSecretary AI--ger
gave out a statement this evening
intended to refute the attacks on &im
by the public press, especially in a re
cent amticle in the London Times,
which contains, he says, false asser
tions. He denies the charge that the
volunteer army was officered by men
selected through political influence. In
all except fifteen regiments the officers
were appointed by the governors of the
states exclusively, while the volunteer
officers appointed by the president
numbered, all told, 1,032, of whom 441
were taken from the regular army. The
581 from civil life were chosen out of
25,000 applications, each of which was
accompanied by a certificate showinc.
well fitted for
that the "applicant. .
the appointment.
Secretary Alger says very few -of
these appointments were made on hte '
recommendations, but he would have"
been only too glad to have had the hon
or of having made them.- The only of--fleers
selected by the secretary were
those of the three rough rider regi
ments, including General Wood.
"Criticisms as to the amounts., and
methods of expenditures which would
imply wrong or careless use of money,"" -says
Alger, "were also made. - Thisr'v
charge was also false."
He insists that of hundreds of mill
ions of dollars expended, not one dollar
was stolen or embezzled, and adds that
he will ask his successor to open the ac
counts to public inspection so that the
entire truth may be known.
WILL SOON SAIL
Capt. J. A. Wagner's Regiment Abont
Ready for Service. -
It is presumed' that John A. Wagner,
Jr., who was recently appointed to a
captaincy in the Thirty-first regiment,
at Fort Thomas, Ky., will leave in a
short time for Manila.
Colonel Pettit, commanding the
Thirty-first, has telegraphed the war
department! his enlistments number
1,150, which is within 204. of the full
quota of the regiment. He will with
draw the recruiting officers immediate-

for Manila on the Grant, Sherman and
