The Spanish prisoners are being embarked to PADD HOS <> belief that all will be en route to their home country by ee ee part of the week. The dispatch follows: “The Berlin has just “arrived with the 9th United States Volunteer Infantry on board.

Reform to Be Made in the Assessment of Lands. According to a report made to the State Department by United States Minister Al- jen, Corea has never had a_ proper survey made of its lands, The treas- ury department knows in a rough manner th> extent of tilled fields as they existed a few hundred years ago, but new land brought under cultivation is apt to be known only to the country official who draw much of their considerable reve- nue from taxes on this new land. The people, of course, get no relief, for they will be most thoroughly taxed, whoever gets the money. Taxes are now paid in kind, and land is listed as rice land, which is the b and most profitable, or upland, such as is used for barley, wheat, beans, ete. it has now been decided to have a com- plete survey made of the whole peninsula, preliminary to a just and proper assess- ment. An American, Mr. R. Krumm of Columbus, Ohio, graduate of the Ohio Uni- versity, has been engaged as chief engi- neer of the Corean government “for the direction of all engineering work, such as the laying out of irrigation works, roads, bridges, fortifications, etc.”. Mr. Krumm has a five-years’ contract with the govern- ment at a compensation of $300 per month for the first year, and increasing $00 per month each year. He will also have house and certain expenses furnished. Mr. Krumm is now engaged with the engineer- ing force of the Seoul-Chemulpo railway. ~ + 0 CONDITIONS AT CAMP WIKOFF. Gen.

Charlies Waldman’s Letter Home Just Betore His Death. Charles Waldman, a District volunteer, Whose recent death was noted in The Star, wrote a letter to a friend here just after the declaration of peace, from which ,the following extract is taken. It was his last written message to those at home: “Well, the war is most over and I guess you are as glad of it as we-are. No one can tel" the experience that we went through. I will give you a brief sketch of it: After being on water for eight days, we landed in a heavy rainst. rm ata place called Siboney. We marched that day until it became dark, through mud and water. At some places the water would come up to our waists, but that made no’ difference, a3 we had to get to the firing line as soon &3 possible. We stopped at the place where the Rough Riders made their first camp on the island. We rested as best we could, as everything was and it was still raining. We wrapped ourselves in our rub- ber and woolen blankets. At 3:30 o'clock we had to get up, and we were all stiff and sore. We made a fire and made some coffee, which we brought with us, and ate a few hardtacks. Then we marched t rest of the way, which in all is just fifteen miles, arriving on the firing line about 4 o'clock in the evening. We had some more coffee, which was cold. as we could not build a-fire. We carried the Coffee in our canteens from the first stopping place. We had nothing to sleep on; as we left all of our things at the other camp. We did not go into the rifle pits till the next morn- ing. “That night it rained, and the like of it T never saw before. We had to beat each other with sticks to keep awake, else we Would never had come back to Washington. The next day the sun was almost warm enough to melt us. We had a good break- fast, or rather we called it so, for we were very hungry. At 9 o'clock we went into the pit and were there thirty-seven hours, firing very little, without anything to eat. and up to our shoe tops in water, but you don’t mind that when you are trying to sheot Spaniards. We were relieved by the Illinois boys, and had only been out of the pit a few hours when the surrender came.” > .
