Another Hospital Train From Penn
syIvanIa Leaves FernundIna.
Fernandina, Fla, Aug. 26.The Phil
adetphla hospital train, which has
Travelled nearly thousand miles for
the purpose of hurrylng to Phladel-
phia the sick soldiers of the Third

O'Clock yesterday afternoon, almost
five hours behind schedule time. Less

Pennsylvanans were being placed
aboard the hospital train and made as
comfortable as possible. The Third
regiment boys were not present to see
their sick comrades placed on the train.
This regiment had received orders to
proceed to Huntsville, Ala, and 60 into
camp.
The train carrying the Third reached
Bakersv!lle, six miles above this place,
about the same time the hospital train
arrived. The boys gave three hearty
cheers for the Philadelphia city coun-
Gil. and cheerea-agatn and again for the
three hospitals which are represented
by trained nurses and physicians on
the train. 1t was an inspiring sight to
see the ruddy sons Of old Penn raise
their hats as the hospital train started
away, and one which will long be re-
membered by the councilmanic COM
mIttee and others on the train.
Nearly all the sick men are suffering
from malaria, there being but few
serious cases Of typhoid fever on the
train. None Of the patients were In q
tent. When the Third regiment left
Eernandina yesterday morning they
rented house and placed the sick In
comfortable quarters There were
three men left behind, their condition

ware river rose between nine and ten
feet at the Delaware water gap yester-
day. doing great damage. The rise
was due to clOudburst above Port

from it's moorings and carried down
the stream. The steamer is almost a.

The Need For Relief in Cuba Is Ex.
tremely Urgent.
New York. Aug. 2G.-G. W. Hyatt,
the Red Cross agent at Key West who
was prominent Havana merchant,
has been engaged In sending small re-
lief expeditions to various points on
the Cuban coast. Relative to this work
he writes to Stephen L. Barton as fol-
lows:
II am happy to inform you that the
last two expeditions of food sent to
Cuba, one to Cardenas and one to the
coast above Sagua 10 Grande, arrived
safely and were delivered to the hun
CRY women and children, to their great
delight. A part of that sent to the
shores near Cardenas was carried on
mems backs nearly to Matanzas and
distributed to the hungry. My men do
Ing this work have returned here and
are begging for more food. Matanzas,
Havana and Pinar del Rio provinces
are suffering horribly. Notwithstand-
Ing y2p have SO much work to do in
the different volunteer camps in the
United States, most sincerely hope
that the Cuban relief committee will
not forget that there are many thous-
ands In Cuba who are starving. II 1t
meets your approval l propose to send
a small amount of provisions (say two
or three tons) to Havana by the Mas
cote or other conveyance, to be I'M
mediately distributed.
Work In Cuba can be carried on
with perfect safety. I am only too
anxious to try 1t, and with the least
possible delay. I am surrounded con-
stantly by persons begging for relief
for their families in Cuba. Can any
thing be done to aid some OF the most
worthy Cuban families to return to
Havana? Some have property there,
and can go and live In their own
houses; others have friends and rela-
tlves, but none has cent with which
to get to Havana, and they are now
living on the charity distributed by
the Red Cross"

add, are determined to discuss all the
