noon, and the receipt of the actual
document therefore, only required \

ceptance.

new suggestions.

New York, October 1O.-The transport
Berlin arrived today from Porto Rico via
Santiago with a number Of officers and 206
convalescent soldiers and laborers and sew
cral civilians. Captain Couling, quarter
master, is in charge of the transport He
said that the sick and oonvalescents Were
taken on board at San Juan, Ponce and
Maguez, and that none had been sick of
contagious disease. When they came on
board General Henry sent with them ample
supplies of nourishing food for the sick, and
each day the men were served with three
hot meals. The good result of this treat
ment was evident when it is considered
that on the first morning out over 40 per
cent. answered sick.call, and each morning
thereafter the improvement was SO rapid
that the morning sick call of today showed
only 16 per cent. of the men ill. The quar-
tiers were Kept in SPLENDID order and every
thing was~in good condition. The health
officer made an inspection and permitted

HEALTH OF TROOPS.
The Sick List at Santiago Rapidly
Decreasing.

Santiago, September 2S.-The health OF
the United States troops now in the prov
ince of Santiago has considerably improved,
not more than 10 per cent now being on the
sick list. Most of the cases are merely
light malaral fevers. Yellow fever has
been practically stamped out of the city
by the systematic cleaning process put in
to operation. For several weeks Major
Barber. who is at the head of the street
cleaning department has had 600 men en-
gagged in cart!ng away the filth OF gener-
atoms, which is burned at one or the other
of the crematories. General Wood has
shown wonderful executive ability. ~
General Lawton is we'll satisfied with the
soldierly qualities displayed by his men
since they have been here, and all reports
from other places in the province as to the
behavior of the American troops are equal
ly satisfactory.
General Wood advises investors not 70
come to Cuba if they intend their invest
ments to take the form of land purchase,
as the records and archives have been left
in a shocking state by the Spanish author
tiles.
A man with little capital would do well
here with a steam laundry, an American
bakery or a small store with good gro
ceries. Such enterprises could be made to
pay from the very outset. Next month,
October, is the last month of the rainy sea-
son here With November come fine weather
with cool winds and good health.
The death rate in Santiago has decreased
six-fold from August, though as a rule the
end of September shows heavy mortality.
