But the road 10 the front offers va
riety Of stenches. Of which these referred
10 are, of course, the worst. Decay'n
food yields it's contribution, sickening, If
not so nauseauug as the other In some
spots boxes of spoiled bareback have been
emptied out to ferment and sour il the
wet and heat Soldiers have dropped lit
tie heaps of these and of bacon which
they did not want to carry along. Much
Of the beef served in the rations has
been in such large cans that a man can
not eat half Of it at one meal. Evidently
there has at times been a superabund-
ance of rations; it would be impossible to
supply the exact amounts where regi-
ments were scattered all over and mixed
up, one with another, and where the road
was fun Of straggers.
AT any rate, the men did not combine
into little messes Of two or three to eat
all the contents Of these cans Of meat.
Consequently the road is lined with half
empty boxes of beef, adding their eff
fluvia to the rest. 1t is not necessary to
continue the catalogue of stenches.
The San Juan road is an object-lessOn
of the wastefulness Of war, although only
in minor aspects. Besides the heaps Of
spoiled food, there. are hundreds Of arti-
cles which would have a value under other
circumstances. Cartridges for Springfield
rifles lie in heaps. Thousands of them
could be picked up. As fast as the volun-
tSers can get a Krag-J orgensen rifle that
was the property of a wounded or dead
man they take il, throwing their own
aside. This is because the new arm
uses smokeless powder, which affords no
target for the enemy, as the old one does.
There is therefore no further use for The
Springfield cartridges.
Blankets, shelter tents and clothing of
the wounded or killed have been cast away
by the hundred. Thrifty Cubans have
gathered the most valuable of these, but
in the abundance Of the wreckage have left
lots behind. Empty tomato cans cluster
about the cites of burned-out camp fires
Mss pans, tin cups, brushes, old haver-
sacks with food spiling out, cartridge
belts, bayonet scabbards hats, rude lit
ters made of poles and blanket, and in
Vulnerable other articles, are scattered
