at the village Of Apasco, the epidemic
made its appearance, and to such de-
gree did it rage, that the next morning
when the troops was about TO continue
their march it was discovered that 200
men had fallen victims.
The second day the disease consid-
erably increased and continued aug
me nting in its fatality until the fifth
