RAVAGES OF THE FEVER ~. ElMott Hoopes of Company I, 1st District of Columbia Volunteers, writes to his par- ents in Anacostia, under date of July 21, as follows: “We are now in quarantine camp for five days, or longer if any serious sickness develops. Everybody is well at present excepting those having colds and the like, caused by sleeping on the wet ground. I have got so used to this now that I don’t mind it. I did not even catch a cold from being out in the rain for seventy-two hours in the trenches. We have little work to do now, excepting to keep camp clean. We have to do our own cooking, and don’t get too much to cook, either. One thing our company takes pride in ts the fact that it was one of the two selected from the Dis- trict regiment to go on the firing line when we arrived. “Lieutenant Walker has been transferred from Company I to Company €. We are very sorry to lose him, as we consider him one of the best officers in the regiment. Writing under date of July 31, Hoopes mentions that he has reco from mountain fever, and says: ‘Nearly half of the regiment was down at one time, and one company had but twenty-four men to mount guard with when their turn came. No one is seriously ill, but this mountain fever shakes a fellow up considerably. I was sick only four days, but it seemed as though the time were a month. We are all enjoying life as much as any one can with novhing to do and unable to get away from camp. We have nothing to do but guara duty, and at present we have to do a little extra in this line because of so many being We are not allowed outside the picket only to go for water, and then we have a non-commissioned officer with u: August 1 he writes: “Our supplies, which came over on the boat with us, just reach- ed camp yesterday. Everybody is improv- ing fast, and about one-half of those ill were dropped from the sick roll today and the rest were marked for light duty. We signed the pay roll tod Letter From John Maupin. From a letter written by John Maupin of Company G, Morton Cadets, under date of July 24, the following extract is taken- “We are still encamped cn a hill near Santiago, a hill that was taken from the Spaniards July 2. We are acting as body guard to Gen. Shafter, and also guarding Spanish prisoners by details. When we came to Santiago we had a seven cays’ ocean trip, 2nd not many of us were sea- sick, but nearly: all were land sick fer sev. eral hours. Our transport stopped several miles up the ceast from Santiago harbor, and there we saw part of the bombard- rent of Morro Castle 2nd Santiago by our warships. We marched the whole distance from Si- boney to Santldgo—a distance of about twenty miles—in one night, and arrived at the firing line, Which averages about one- fourth of a mile.from, the city, at 9 o'clock a.m. As we marched to the entrenchments bullets were whistling about in every 4i- rection. The cannon wer making a noise also, but, above all, the roar of the big guns on our warships could be hearé from the harbor. We know how it feels to have bullets whistle over our heads now, as some of them came very close, but none of us was hit, as we did not expose ourselves unnecessarily. One of the boys shot his heel off, and another was injured in the neck by the explosion of a shell. Outside of that, we are all right. “Native Cubans live alt along the road here, some in little ‘shacks,’ and nearly all sleep on the bare ground, without cover- ing. It is a pitiful sight to see them hud- dled together in the undergrowth, like wild animals. I saw old men feeling about on the ground for crumbs of hardtaek that the soldiers dropped. I gave an old man, who was in nearly the last stages of star- vation, part of my canned beef, and I feared he would injure himself in trying to express his gratitude. “The surrender of Santiago I will never forget. The Spanish flag was pulled down and our flag went up: then the whole Spanish army was marched out of the city, our side cheering, rot being allowed to go into town on account of yellow fever. We marched back to camp, and were so full of enthusiasm that we procured a cocoanut from under a tree and had a fine game of foot ba Sergeant Dobson's Account. Henry A. Dobson, first sergeant of Com- pany D, writes his father as follows, under several dates, beginning with July 16: “We have the satisfaction of knowing that we helped the outcome. We aided in surprising the Spaniards by putting a trench within 100 yards of their lines, and we did it. ioo, after we had failed once, owing to rain and darkness. General Shat- ter expected treachery, and last night we slept on our arms. We have orders now to be constantly on the alert, and the guards are doub'ed. “We have been under fire. I have had that satisfaction personally. Yesterday 1 took a glass and located the place I struck the other night (noted in The Star pre- viously). It was fifty yards from the Span- ish trench, and I was under fire for fifty yards before I reached the shelter of our own trenches. Our regiment has taken several Spanish prisoners. We are getting half rations only. Two days we lived on mangoes and hard tack. Mangoes cost 10 cents each. Now we get ten or fifteen hard tack, a little coffee, a little sugar and some pork, with sometimes a few beans. I am in a mess with Sergeants Walker and Lee- man, Privates Noyes, Rolins, Austin and Barstow. We combine our grub and cook one mess for all, much better than com- pany mess. Fred Austin is now superin- tending a kettle of beans and frying man- goes. July 17—We are now lined up along the ridge of hills around Santiago, waiting for the stars and stripes to be run up over the city. It is approaching noon now, and at that time the surrender is to take place. In front of us, about 150 yards away, are shallow trenches filled with Spanish dead. “There are some clouds in the sky, but it has not rained for two days, scemingly keeping off for the great event. Long lines of Spanish troops can be seen in the We are still quite hungry. Please have some beans baked in the pot when I get home, and have pumpkin ple and tced tea and cold milk. I, dream of them at night, and I have had: but two glasses of milk since I left home. And please do not have any bacon in siglit. “The boys are getting pretty well tanned down here. rane, “July 19—I had no chance to write about the surrender. We saw it, and how we cheered! We are hoarse yet. We moved camp today and.are now on the Siboney side of the city. _Haye’a nice breeze. “I sit and write, while in wild glee The ants run'riot over me, likewise other sorts of -insects. I kille@ four tarantulas, this, morning. They are plentiful. “We are faring ‘better ncw. For break- fast we had coffee, fat back end fried hard tack. We ate it at 4 o'clock, and at your breakfast time we were wading along a military road—miiitery because some oftiecr walked over it orce, I guess. The boys are collecting all sorts of souvenirs—Spanish bullets, pieces of shell, shrapnel and so on; but as I have to stay at the head of the company street the only souvenir 1 hope to bring heme will be myself. I am getting quite brown, and with the custo- mary dirt lock almost like ‘a Cubano. “July 28—Fever rages among the men, but not ‘yellow jack.’ The fever lasts from four days to two weeks, but is not dan- serous. In my company—D—thirteen men were down yesterday and twenty today. Company K has thirty-five. Some of the men are getting well, others coming down, and TI guess we will all eventually tumble to it. Otherwise things are Improving. We get enough to eat. It rains every day, and is very hot when it is not raining. We have a breeze ajsaut tweve cut of twenty- four hours. I hive slept out doors in my hammock every night so far in preference to sleeping on the ground in the tent. 1 slecp well. The only thing that disturbs me is the reveille. The bugier plays it too loud; can’t sleep. “I am cailed in a court-martial case. One of Company D is accused of steeping on post, and I am to give his character in company. I think he will be cleared, as 1 believe him innocent of the charge. “August 1—I am writing by moonlight. It is after taps. The moon is so brilliant that one can read a newspaper easily. “I took six men on the h of July and Went down into a sunken road on the San Juan battlefield. Two boys of the 6th In- fantry had becn killed there and simply covered with earth as they had fallen. The rain had washed the earth away. We un- covered them completely, dug two graves and gave them Christian burial. This is terrible work—it is war. “Food is getting better all the time. I had an attack of the fever yesterday, but my supply of quinine knocked it out. Am a little weak yet, but did not give in. All the sergeants now mess together and each squad together. We had for breakfast this morning rice cakes, bacon, ‘slumgullion. coffee and bread. For dinner, good soup, boiled beef, coffee and bread. For supper, steak, rice, coffee and bread, with toma- toes.”’ Dark When They Landed. The following extract is from a letter written by Woodford Babbitt, a member of the District regiment, to a schoolmate of his in this city “It was dark as Egypt when we landed in Cuba, and the road was full of holes, stones and roots; so you can guess what a time we had. After marching about five miles we rested until 2 o'clock. We were then aroused, had coffee served and were told to leave everything except our can- teens, amrunition and guns and be ready for a short march, not more than 700 or 800 yards. We even left our coats. We started, and never let up till we had cov- ered ten miles. It was a march never to be forgotten, and proved the vast superiority of our men. 1 wish you could have seen us. “We got to the trenches and lay there for three hours under fire, though of a weak sort, for the Spaniards were pretty nearly done for, and when our batteries began to arrive they ran up the white flag. and two days later they surrendered bag and baggage. “While we were waiting in the trenches a rainstorm came up with a cold wind be- hind it, and we almost froze. You see we had left everything behind. We didn’t get anything to eat until the third Gay, and all that time it just poured rain, and you may guess our condition. Some of the bo aren't over it ye but somehow it don't seem to hurt me like it does them. It is the same with the food. We are en short rations, consisting of a half a cup of coffee without sugar, three hardtacks and_per- haps some canned beef, which generaily re- minds me of Patsy Mann's glue factory b: the odor, though that’s a small matter when you are really hungry. Some of the bo. n't make it go and are, of course. k and sick from hunger; but that’s a) over now, for the ves: 3 into the harbor and the food will reach us tonight. ‘For the last forty-eight hours we have been driving the Spaniards toward the city, so slow that they wouldn't weeks if left to themselves. but they ai start for som It is a 1 tell y every time they move camp. The Span- iards don't want to go, and quarrel and fuss till o like cracking them over their heads. Boys Collecting Relics. This letter is from Edward McGinnis of Colonel Harries’ command, a member of Company M. It was written to his brother John, under date of July 25: We are camped on San Juan hill, where the worst of the battle was fought. There are many of the rough riders and any num- ber of Spaniards buried here. 1t was the barbed-wire fence that caught the poor rough iiders in a death trap, but the Span- ish were caught in their own trap after- ward. The 7lst New York Regiment made a charge on them, and it was a hot fight. The 71st made a’ bluff and turned back, and the encmy followed them, but when the Spaniards got on the other side of the wire fence the Sth Cavalry fenced them on one side and the 7ist New York on the other, and when they got through with them there were not enough of them left to bury their dead. This scared about 1,009 of them down the valley. The Cubans awaited them on the top of San Juan hill and killed a great many of them. What was left of them rushed back toward their camp, but the Gth Cavalry caught up with them and killed and wounded a great many more. One of the 6th Cavairy with whom I went to school was killed. His name was Ed Ross, and he lived near 2Uth street and Pennsyivania avenue in Washington. The Spaniards must have been looking for trouble for a long time, for the whole place was strung with barbed wire. The bark of the trees has grown over some of it, so it must have been there for a long time. The Spaniards are not game by any means, and it was not their pluck that Kill ed and wounded so many of our soldie: It was the trap our fellows were caught in. The Spanish don't like our way of fighting. They like to fight from block houses and ambush. They are like the In- dians. They were scared by the charges and rushes the Americans made. It seemed impossible to fence their whole army in the way we did. The city has some fine old-time buildings, but the place is filthy. The streets are very narrow and the people throw all their slops and everything In the streets and it is left there until the rain carries it away. The big palace once occupied by the Spanish is now General Shafter's head- quarters. A lot of us have pieces of the boat that Admiral Cervera tried to escape in, and about 500 of us had a shake-hands from Lieutenent Hobson July 14. We had a hard time of it while we were in the trenches, waiting to get a shot at the Span- jards, but we got broke in and didn’t mind it. The Spanish ponies are plentiful here. We use them for carrying water. We also use them upon which to cross the swamps to go swimming. I tried to make one jump a wire fence with me last week, but in- stead of going over it he went under it, anti almost tore the pants off of me. I had to take a piece of my shirt to fix my pants with before I cou!d go in town. Jokes and Then. James H. Kolb, bugler of Company F, writes his brother as. follows, his letter Leing dated July 31: “If you could only see what we came down here to fight for you would say we were very fcolish. Why, the Cubans will steal cents from you, and then curse you because they were not nickels. When we left our things at the other camp they stole everything of any value, and ruined the rest. Some of the boys’ drums were all broken up, and mine had disappeared altogether. What they wanted with it I @on’t know, for they can't play it. “Well, I am rot a bit down-heartec: we have a good time. Every now and then a joke comes into camp. The other night we were all lying in the tent and one of the boys jumped to the door and stuck his head out, and one of us asked what was the matter. He said he thought he heard an electric car go past the door. “One Spaniard said to another: ‘What's the maiter, old man? You look like you had got the “blue: ‘No, it is not that; but I think the blues have got all of us,’ he re- plied. “I wish you would please write and lect me know if there has been anything said in town about a $200 bounty for the Dis- trict boys, or double pay, or anything like that. There have been so many rumors about it.. We expect to move in a few days, as soon as all the sick get well. I was down with the fever for three days, but am all right now.” oe es THE SICK ON TRAINS. Red Cross Society Provides for Re- lief of Soldier Boys. The Red Cross committee of Washington has apponited Mrs. James Tanner a com- mittee of one, with power to, so far as possible, relieve the pressing necessities of the sick soldiers who wait in this city on board the hospital trains, often for hours, on their journey from south to north. Mrs. Tanner has opened two rooms, one at 616 Maryland avenue southwest, the other at 915 Maryland avenue, and placed in charge competent women, whose business it is to look after the needs of the sick and travel- worn boys. . Last Sunday all those with the hospital train were furnished with bread and milk and oranges. Sunday, the week before, ere the existing state of things had become known to any one except the residents of that vicinity, those poor people worked from morning till late at night, relieving the suffering which they fountl at their doors. The Sunday dinners were taken from the tables, spare change from the pockets, pillows and sheets from the beds— Now for many of the sick had no clothing what- ever, being wrapped in an army blanket and iaid on straw—and there were instances where the workingmen went the next day to their labors minus their accustomed lunch pail, because there was nothing in the house with which to fill them, so gener- ous had been the gifts of food and money to the soldier bo: Any donations of fruit, soups or detica- cies for the sick may be sent to either of the above named addresses. Money for the purchase of milk, bread and ice may be sent to Mrs. Tanner, Red Cross headquar- ters, 1310 G street northwest. ee TROOPS LEAVING SANTIAGO. Gen. Shafter’s Announcement to the Department. The adjutant general last night received telegrams from General Shafter at Santia- 0 saying that the steamer Leona left there yesterday with two companies 9th Cavalry. three companies h Infantry, two com- panies 3ith Michigan, one battery heavy artillery and Lieutenant Parker with Gat- ling gun battery. Arcadia also left with two light batteries. General Shafter said that the Sth Ohio Regiment would sail on the Mohawk this morning. MUST PRESERVE ORDER. War Department's Instrections Gen. Lawton at Santiago. The War Department last evening post- ed the followirg as a reply to an inquiry frcm Maj. Gen. Lawion, commanding the Department of Santiago, for instructions as to the policy to. be obse-ved toward ¢ Cubans that ore within partment: Commanding General, Department Santia- go, Santiago, Cuba: Replying to your message for instruc- tions, the President directs that you be in- formed that the United States is responsi- ble for peace and must maintain order in the territory surrendered and in your de- partment and must protect all persons and their preperty within said jurisdiction. In- terference from any quarter will not be permitted. The Cuban insurgents shouid be treated justly and liberally, but they, with ail others, must recognize the military n and authority of the United States and the cessation of hostilities pro- claimed by this government. Ycu shculd sce the insurgent leaders and so advise them. By order of the Secretary of War. H. C. CORBIN, Adjutant General. August 16, 189s. The War Department did not make pub- lic the dispatch from Gen Lawton relative to the Cubans in Santiago, but the order wkich Gen. Corbin sent to Gen. Lawton indicates its nature. Gen. Lawion reports that the Cubans are encamped about the © his military de- city and do not seem disposed io accept the conditions imposed by the ee, and some troubles have occurre< “The order means just what it says,” remarked Secretary Alger. The United States government is in control of the sur- rengered territory and is responsible for the maintenance of peace. The laws of this country must be obeyed. If there are pecple in Santiago who are law abiding ang peaceful this order has no reference to them. If there are others who are se- diticus and disposed to make trouble the: must pcy the penalty of their disobedien: whether they be Spaniards or Cubans. We know no race or color in this country in the requirement of obedie: to law and we will know none in Cuba. The which the President has taken the matter for the present time.” Gradually the framework of a govern- ment for the civil administration of affairs in Cuba, Porto Rico and such portions of and for the Philippines as this government controls is being tormed. The development of this plan of internal administration occupied much of the attention of the cabinet yes- terday, and later Secretary Gage, Attorney Generai Griggs, Postmaster General Smith and Acting Secretary of State Movre held a two hours’ conference at the State De- going over the details of estab- Gen. Corbin At the out- in partmen lis! hi & a civil administration. present part of the time. the military authorities will be rge of all administrative affairs in C , Porto Rico and other acquired posses- sions, But the military forces can do little more than direct the orderly execution of affairs. The carrying on of postal commu- nication, the colicction of customs, etc., are civil functions which will be taken in hand by the appropriate bureaus here, the entire work being under the protection of the military authorities. Already steps have been taken to restore mail communication between this country and Cuba, but the plans now under consideration are likely to {ake in the question cf handling mail inside of Cuba, Porto Rico and other points. A mail steamer will leave New York today, carrying the first lot of mail to Cuba which has ett New York since the war began. The Spanish government has been quite solicitous as to the method of administer- ing affairs in the Antilles, owing to the large Spanish interests remaining there. The French ambassador has received a number of inquiries in this line, and these set have been laid before the State Depart- ment. After the conference held there yes- terday afternoon, M: Thiebaut of the French embassy called and was made ae- quainted with the general plans of this government in restoring a stable adminis- tration throughout the Spanish West In- dies. ————+ + SANTIAGO’S SAD STORY.

Surgeon General Sternberg received a telegram from Surgeon Borden, in charge of the army hospital at Key West, yest=r- day afternoon, as follow: “Three cases of yellow fever and three suspicious cases officially reported at ma- rine barracks here. Have fifty m2n at this (ermy) hospital, mostly from the 5th Corps, ready for duty, and thirty-one convaies- cents able to travel.” Similar information came to Surgeon Gen- eral Wyman of the marine hospital service. The latt+r at once instituted steps to pre- vent the spread of the disease to other places. A representative of the marine hospital service has been sent to K2y West to confer with the naval officer and with the state officials, and all necessary meas- ures to restrict the fever to its present limits will b2 taken. Dr. Wyman is hope- ful, in view of the isolated portion of Key West, that this can be successfully accom- plished. According to reports received by the ma- rine hospital service, two of the vessels which have arrived at Montauk Point, Long Island, with troops from Shafter’s army were infected. One of these, the Grand Duchess, whose arrival has just been reported to the bureau, had four cases of yellow f2ver and a number of “sus- TO HEAR Interest in the Discussion to Be Held at Omaha.

The idea was adopt- ed and the plans for the det are now well matured.

The California democratic state conven- ion met in Sacramento yesterday and or- ganized by the election of Gov. James H. Budd as temporary chairman. The seats of the 14 delegates from San Francisco are contested by a rival delega- tion, led by William Harney. The Harney Gelegates claim that they were regularly lected at the primaries. The conflict has its origin in the struggle of rival factions for the control of the democratic party in the city of San Francisco. Congressman James G. Maguire, who has already been nominated by the populists, will receive the nomination for governor. ‘Ibere is no opposition to him under a fu- sion compact with the populists and silver republican parties. The democratic con- Vention will nominate only so much of the State ticket as includes the governor, one supreme court justice, secretary of state, attorney general, treasurer and state printer. The populist nominations for lieu- tenant-governor, controller and school su- perintendent, and the silver republican nominations for one supreme court justice and clerk of the supreme court will be in- dersed. DNS. Texas Repubticans. The Texas republican state convention met at Fort Worth yesterday, E. H. R. Green calling the delegates to order. In his address Chairman Green referred to the war, commended President McKinley's ad- ministration and declared for territorial ex- pansion. His words were received wiih great applause. Last night the executive committee reported, recommending Henry Ferguson, colored, for temporary chairman. This is virtually a viciory for the opposi- tion to State Chairman Green. The pupu- lists are endeavoring to secure a republican indorsemeut of Barnett Gibbs for governor, but the executive committee will uot con- sider the proposition. N ted for Congress.

On the contrary, she declares that the camp Is in excellent condition and that good eg ten — made for the cutee ihe yoldication of stations of dhe hor rowing distress in the camp. US
