While the Scorpion was off Manzanillo,
with the temperature at los degrees,
general quarters was sounded sud-
denly Cadet Combs rushed from his
sick bed to his station, stark naked,
but with his word buckled around his
waist. This incident is merely charac-
teristic OF the hard, unheralded work
being done with quiet bravery and end
less patience aboard the small craft
doing blockade duty on the Cuban
coast.
1t is hoped that the international re-
lations will soon assume a phase that
will enable the feet to take either ag-
gresive action or a much needed rest

Marine Battalion In Excellent Condition.
Health Of ships Companies Has Fallen
OwinE to Relaxation.
Washington, August 6.-The Secre-
tarys of the Navy tonight made public
the following telegram from Admiral
Sampson:
Playa. August 6.-Marine battalion is
in excellent health. Sick list numbers
21a per cent. Fleet surgeon reports
that they are in better condition for
service in this climate than when they
first arrived south in June. Health Of
the squadron at Guantanamo fairly
good. Sick list numbers about per
cent. General tone of health of the
ships companies has fallen considerably
since the first of July; this, however,
is not due to the prevalence of any dis
ease, but Is probably due to the release
from the strain and constant effort un-
der which they so long lived; and to
this, probably more than to any other
cause, is due their somewhat impaired
physique. l do not think it necessary
to send the marine battalion north.
The crews have borne their privations
in a manner beyond praise, those OF
three ships have not been ashore for
seven months and these months in
debilitating climate.
(Signed) SAMPSON.
Secretary Long stated tonight that
it is the purpose of the department TO
order north those ships which are not
required for blockade as soon as the
exigencies Of tie war will permit.

Kent's report Of not advancing prompt
ly 10 the attack On Santiago. Men re-
turning from Santiago told the secre-
tary that the irregularity occurred
amid the noise and confusion OF the
opening of the engagement, when the
enemy was directing heavy fire
against this point OF our lines. While
the secretary does not seek to justify
the regiment, yet he feels that they are
entitled to have their course viewed in
the light of all the adverse circum-
stances which operated against them
at the time of the battle. Speaking Of
the Porto Rico campaign, the secretary
said that the entire force there would
be supplied with Krag-Jorgensen guns,
or else mokeless powder to use in such
few Springhelds as might be carried In
connection with the krag-Jorgensen.
The purpose, however, is to arm the
active troops as rapidly as possible
with the high class modern arm.
