from Gen. Shafter, which is in part as fol-
lows:
HEADQUARTERS 9TH ARMY CORPS,
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, August 4, 1893.
Hon. R. A. Alger. Secretary of War, Wash
ington, D. C.
My Dear Gen. Alger: Your kind letter of
July 25 was handed me yesterday by Maj.
Sniffen. l thank you and the President for
the confidence you express in my ability to
handle the matters intrusted to me here.
The number taken i'll in my command is
very great, as you will see, though not
very much greater than those returned to
duty, and the death rate is not at present
alarming, although 1t is steadily on the In
crease, and the doctors tell me that the
fever, malarial and otherwise, is constantly
presenting more virulent features. Every
effort possible is made to guard ships bring
ing supplies to the army, but 1t Is almost
impossible to enforce it, when ships must
be unloaded and men necessarily must
come together in discharging and receiving
cargo
The great trouble is that the people
themselves have no fear of infection, and
unless you have a guard over every indi-
vidual man it is almost impossible to keep
them from mingliDg.
American silver is received the same as
American paper.
The missing L believe, have nearly all
been accounted for. Not a single man was
captured, and the only men now missing
are those that were killed in the thick brush
and whose bodies have never been found.
The country has been secured faithfully
for bodies. This was done short time
after the battle
The camps now occupied are measurably
good. They certainly are on the best
ground that is in the vicinity, and slight
changes of location can be made. The diff
ficulty in separating camps of army of
this size is on account of the great diff
Guilty of supplying them with necessary
food. especially during the wet season,
when half dozen wagons over a road cuts
it into ruts two feet deep in places.
Pack trains are very good, and we have
to use them. and do use them all the time;
in fact, without them we could not get
along; but the sickness among the team
sters and packers has been very great
nearly every one of them, L suppose 95 per
cent, has been sick, and. like the soldiers
they do not recover their strength.
Supplies are abundant here OF all articles
of food and clothing. 1 cannot fully ex-
portunities that you have given me and
for the confidence that you repose in me-
as shown more strongly than IN any other
way by leaving me unhampered in my op-
erations against Santiago.
/ am very sorry to see that some news
papers are attempting to throw blame on
your trying to run the campaign from
Washington, and / suppose some people
believe 1t. It is one of the things how
ever, that 1 don't suppose we can help, al
though whenever 1 have had an oppor-
tunity + have tried to make 1t plain that
have been left to my own devices.
/ am very sincerely yours,
fSigned VIM. R. SHAFTER.

The District Commissioners today wrote
Messrs. W. A. Gordon and others relative
to their request for the opening of @ street
east of 28th street that they appreciate the
desirability Of extending that highway and
will be glad to do all they properly can in
the matter.
But so many applications of like nature
have been received that the revenues Of the
District wo lid not justify the expense
which compliance with them all would in
volve, and the Commissioners find it diff
cult to prefer any particular improvement
when all are of equal Importance to the
sections to which they appertain.
The Commissioners believe that much
could be accomplished toward relieving
them of this embarrassment by the peti-
TONERS themselves securing the dedication
of comparatively large tracts of land for
the street. which would also, in all proba-
biiity. materially improve the chances for
ultimate success.
