ABOUT ROUND ROBIN.
Gen. Shafter Assures Gen. Alger That Sit
uation Is Not As Bad AS Pictured.

Washington. August s.-General
Shafter has telegraphed the President re-
gard1ng the publication of the Ground
robin, signed by the general officers of
his conmand.as follows:
can very readily see what intense ex-
element the publication must have occa-
stoned; great deal more than the situa-
ton warranted.
The situation is greatly aggravated
from the fact that before any of the
men were taken i'll they were thoroughly
exhausted.
At least rs per cent of che command
had been down with malarial fever. from
which they recover very slowly and are
in no condition to stand an attack of
yellow fever or dysentery.
Placed here now in the condition in
which they were when they came here, I
do not believe they would be in any
particular danger.
The regiment Of immunes that recently
arrived is not suffering at ALL and don t
believe they will. They can keep out of
the sun, are we'll clothed and we'll fed.
What put my command in its present
condition was the twenty days OF the
campaign when they had nothing but
meat, bread and coffee without change of
clothes, without any shelter whatever,
and during the period twice as stormy IS
it has been since surrendering.
Fresh troops reaching here in the
middle of August, with good camps, good
water, abundance of tentage,. which they
will find here, need not apprehend serious
danger.
L thank you for the high regard in
which you hold my command and the
value of the service they have rendered.
1t pays for all the suffering we have
endured.
I have read this to Genners Wheeler.
Lawton Bates and Kent who concur with
me in the view expressed above.
