Cuban Lepers

Santiago letter in the st. Louis Globe Dem Scrat
As to the lepers. let tell you one little cir
cumstance, characteristic of the place. Everywhere
in Cuba lepers roam the streets without let or
hindrance. There two or three hospitals fer
them, but no law to compel their isolation. About
forty lepers, however. were corralled in San
tiago Hospital Civil until after the battles of
July ! and 2, when the hospital needed for
the wounded Spanish soldiers. All the sick who
could crawl were ordered out into the streets to

to move every minute, and every man
was so nearly scared to death that they
were trembling like a lot of ague pa tients.

Spanish guns without being able to reply

sergeant who had boasted of what he
would do when he got at the Spantards
was a little nearer the firing line than
the rest of his command. and he was con-
siderably shaken up by the too close
familiarities the Mauser bullets were
taking with him. One passed through his
hat and another made a hole in his flannel
shirt while third tore a hole in the
ground Immediately in front of him.
''I passed near him several times during
the course of the battle on my way to
