STORIES ARE FALSE.

Another Sixteenth Regiment Man
Stands for Seventy-First New York.
Another wounded soldier Of the Six
teenth regular infantry passed through
st. Paul yesterday and went to Spo-
kane ON the Northern Pacific coast
train. He was Fritz Zettz, of Company
G, who is member Of the regimental
band. A large scar in his left cheek
shows where a Mauser bullet struck
him. 1t went through his palate
and he is scarcely able to speak
II was wounded" he said to a re-
porter for The G l o b e, during the
first day of the fight on San Juan hill.
We were advancing upon the block
house when I was struck The bullet
was evidently a spent one, for 1t lodged
in my right cheek and pulled it out Of
my mouth.
"The Sixth regulars and the Seventy
first New York volunteers were with US
for time until the Seventy-flrst drew
the Spanish fire on us. 1t was then
ordered to lie down, and we were order
ed ahead. We passed the Seventy-fir
while advancing to the firing line. The
stories of cowardice that have been cir
culated about that regiment are false.
They did lie down, but not until they
were ordered to do so. The smoke from
their guns showed the Spaniards our
exact location and we could not escape
the bullets. We had snokeless powder
ard could fight with the same advant-
age as the Spaniards, but the volun-
teers had only the old kind"

TYPHOID PATIENTS THRIVE.
With the Exception of Byhre, They
Are All Progressing.

The typhoid fever patients at the hospitals
from the Fiftssnth regiment were yesterday
in general reported to be improved. Some Of
the soldiers are still in serious condition,
the disease in number Of cases not having
run it's full course, but the physicians at the
different hospitals say that they do not an
ticipate fatal consequences in the case OF any
of the patients under their care.
At the city hospital 1t was said that all
of the patients were much improved yester-
day. Leonel Vaught, of Company H, is 50
far convalescent that he Is able to be up and
about the hospital. His discharge from the
institution is now but a question of his gain
ing strength. Three patients at Bethesda
hospital, G. Masters, of Company G; H. f.
Ronning, of Company B; and Burr Randall,
of Company H. are so far improved as to be
able to walk about the ward. Peter Byhre,
however, is quite i'll. He was dellrious
Wednesday night, but yesterday became ra-
tional and rested quietly SO that the attend
ing physician considers his hopeful.
Several of the soldiers at st. Joseph's hos
pital are up and about the building, while
the others are said to be slowly improving.
The patients at St. Luke's are doing nicely,
though as many as twelve Of them are still
regarded seriously i'll.
DR.. Lindsay says, however, that with a
continuance Of the present favorable condi-
tions he thinks all of the sick soldiers at
St. Luke's will recover.
