States infantry, a graduate of West Point
10 years ago, and who has served in Ari-
IONA, New Mexico and Nebraska since
then, with the exception of a detail for
four years as military instructor and pro.
fessor of mathematics at the State. College
at Orono, Ms., and who was four months
ago appointed to similar service at Har-
ward College (service delayed until end of
the present war;, went with his regi-
ment to Santiago with Shafter, and was
ter service.
Capt Hersey is a man of robust figure
and health, leader in whatever he un.
dertakes, and he went to Santiago with
the enthusiasm Of one who might hope to
come back major general. Letters came
from him regularly until about the mid
die of July, telling of the conditions
there and of walking back and forth
from the coast to the trenches in mud
to the knees, trying to get provisions to
the troops. From that date nothing
was heard of him until few days ago
Che is nephew of the writer) when a
telegram told of his sickness of yellow
fever, and of being on transport in
quarantine at Egmont Key, Fla.
Who took Capt. Hersey's place in get
ting food to the soldiers around Santiago,
and who might have taken this place of
his successor for like reasons, and SO on in
ali the departments of the service, may
suggest to some minds that seem to be
Ignorant Of the fact that neither Secre-
tary Alger, nor the President, can cause
the earth to cease its motion, the clouds
to hold their waters, cyclones to pass
around us. and sickness to disappear.
