CAMP DEWEY, Aug. 9, 1898.
DEAR Folks At HONE:
We now have q chance to write home
twice a week.
Since We had our last engagement We
have laid in camp. There has been no
excitement to speak Of Some Of the
other regiments have been out, but have
not fired shot from our side. There
has been some firing from the other side.
The Nebraska regiment is going out
again tomorrow, and 1 wouldn't be sur
prised if We had a scrap.
We expect to see the other expedition
in today or tomorrow.
My friend Head, I think, will pull
through all right. They cut him open,
took ont his entria1s, and found ont that
the ball had passed through without cut
ing any Of them.
We are living in dog tents two in Q
tent, our beds elevated from the ground
two feet by . bamboo bed, for which We
paid MEXICAN dollar.
The natives charge us two prices Tor

THE ISLE OF PINES.

The isle of Pines" off the souther!y
coast OF Cuba, and part of that coun-
try, is said to differ greatly from Cuba
in meteorological and topographic re-
spects. Its climate is very near per-
lection. 1t is free from disease and
pestilence breeders. 1t is stocked with
some remarkable mineral springs 1t is
clothed with piney forests, the resin of
which loads the air with perfume Sur
rounded by waters that, because of
land protection on one side, are gener-
ally placid, its southern coast has all
the vigor and ruggedness of the At
lantic seaboard.
The air on the island is remarkably
dry, and hence the heat is not Cypress
i've, as on Cuban soil, where the humid
ity is so much greater. Some of the
waters Of the island have remarkable
curative properties. and have long been
visited by invalids. There are natural
baths. of which wonderful tales are
told. The walks and drives in the VAL
leys and among the wooded hills are

THE FRENCH AFRAID.

The special correspondent of the Chi
cago Record. writing recently from
Paris says that Frenchmen are still
puzzled about the war, and are unable
to understand the motive of the Unit
ed States in assailing Spanish sover-
eighty in Cuba and at other points This
is found to be the case il the well-in-
formed and highly intelligent circles,
we are assured. One especially we'll
informed citizen Of France expressed to
the correspondent the fear that Amer
lea might next undertake to order
France out of the West Indies.
Here is the key to the puzzle. The
French understood our motive well
enough, but it is jealousy that confirms
them in the resolution to deny that they
comprehend. This situation is cred
liable neither to the wit nor The intel
hgence of the French. They know that
there is no cause of complaint in West
Indian colonies against French admin
istration of affairs.
If ever there is complaint, and it
blossoms into revolution, and France
in the effort to suppress the uprising
enters upon an inhumane system of
warfare, prosecuting it against women
and children, starving and butchering
non-combatants and viciously Cypress
ing the defenseless, it may be that the
United States will hear the plant of
the unfortunate, and bid France mend
her ways. National benevolence lead
ing on to costly wars in behalf of alien
races is indeed unknown in the policy
Of European nations, but IL may come
about that it will have recognition there
some day.

charming, and the scenery is pictur-
esQue and inviting to the artistic taste.
There are fairly good hotels at the
watering places, and service and horse
hire are cheap. The natives of the
islands are simple, Kindly folk, to
Beyond the bounds Of their island home
they have little knowledge of the world.
The soil is exceedingly fertile, but only
a small portion of it is under cultiva-
ton Tobacco, sugar and pineapples
are the present staple products, but the
opportunity to enlarge the list is broad
and inviting.
There is some small trade in cedar,
mahogany, turpentine, pitch, sulphur,
tortoise shell and crystals. Silver,
quicksilver, iron and marble exist in
great quantities, but very few mines
are worked or QuarrieS developed.
There is one great swamp in the
island, but it is visited rarely, and does
not seem to affect the healthfulness OF
the island people or those who come
from abroad. 1t is practically inacces-
sible, and is the home Of enormous
crocodiles, serpents and venomous rep
tiles.
| The chief drawback and misery OF
the Isle of Pines is the vermin and IN
sect pests. which so much abound as to
very greatly detract from the pleasure
| of a visit to the place. Indeed, these
insects singing, biting, bold ana
| countless, make life to the pleasure
seeker intolerable.
| But the belief is entertained that this
| obstacle can, under the influences of
a different population, be greatly re-
duced. if not wholly obviated. If Cuba
comes under the protectorate Of the
United States, as seems not improbable,
Yankee wit and enterprise will certain
ly grapple with the problems and riches
| Of the Isle of Pines and make at least
| it's famous medicinal waters and its
store of minerals the sources OF great
| profit. while it is believed to be pos
| sible to maintain here quarters free
| from insect pests, that will make them
famous as a sanitarium and sought for
| by invalids

boiled water is absolutely free from
these germs.
In some parts of the country various
patent distilhng arrangements have
been invented to take the place of boil
ing water. They are just as safe, and
probably better than boiled water. OF
course the impurities that cause this
disease may also come from butter, milk
or food. 1t is we'll to cook everything
thoroughly in a city where typhoid is
prevalent.
Some people think the disease does
not come from drinking bad water, say
ing If such We're the cause half the pop
ulation would be down with the dis
ease. 1t should be remembered that
not all persons are susceptible to the
disease and that the germs may be
thrown off by the system at times
without serious harm, but the risk is
great from drinking unboiled water, and
the remedy by prevention is not only
effective but is very simple.

A criticism is freely made that Gen.
eral Miles address or proclamation to
the Porto Ricans was bombastic, and
assumed powers not committed to him !;
besides, that it sounds in a manner to
which commanders of deep conviction
of duty do not commit themselves.
Careful rereading Of it justifies the
charge Of apparent bombastic tone and
the assumption of power to release the
people from old fealty and attach them
to new allegiance. But it is also before
us that the people addressed are accus-
toned to just that kind Of thing; that
it is of the character adapted to the
people Of Porto Rico, and is precisely
the kind of a proclamation they will
understand and appreciate. That is to
say. General Miles cut his garment ac-
cording to the taste of his customer, and
probably 1t was adroit policy to do so.

That General Skaters army entered
upon its task in the Cuban province Of
Santiago ill-prepared as to hospitals
and hospital accommodations is well
known now. Field hospital service was
much too light, and field shelter was
not provided for the wounded, as
should have been done. The reports of
the surgeons prove this. But it is to
be said that the necessity for an ad-
vance when 1t was made was very
great. Indeed, it was scarcely possible
TO postpone the San Juan hills engage
ment without imperiling the entire
army. 1t can scarcely be called a blum
der that the hospitals in the field We're
too few. 1t was, as we read the ac-
counts, rather the unfortunate concur
renee of delay of such supplies, and the
necessity for an immediate blow being
delivered at the enemy before he could
be reinforced or form a correct estimate
OF the number and condition of the
forces landed That blow fell, and the
surrender was the logical result.

There is precedent for this sending
Of prisoners of war back to their
homes at the cost of the victor
though no precedent is needed
to brace up the action of the
United States; that stands upon
simple justice and good judgment as to
discreet policy. In the Napoleonic
wars a French army being driven to
bay surrendered to the English forces
in Spain, on condition that they should
be returned to their homes by the Brit
ish, which was done by the man who
afterwards became the Duke of
Wellington

Talk of conquering Ileores and their
floral welcoming by proud peoples, but
General Roy Stone, he of the celebrated
Bucktail Rifles, who fought so calamity
at Gettysburg, can lay claim to the
entire bakery establishment. He does
not have to await triumphant return
to his home for welcoming, but as he
goes through the Porto Rican towns
bronzed maidens come forth from the
home of the late enemy and strew the
pathway Of his engineer brigade with
flowers galore, while the male enemy
blows Yankee Doodle from Porto
Rican horns upon the tropic atmos-
phere, and the other people shout and
cheer the conquering hero, who has had
as yet to fire never a gun. General
Miles was met by ELUSIVE Mayors and
hattering Alcaldes and all that, but it
has remained for General Stone to walk
to victory over dower-streWn paths. BY
the way, the General, one of the most
modest and unassuming Of men, is
pretty We'll known in Sacramento,
where he spent a week or two not long
ago and impressed our people with his
manliness, gentleness and high inteli-
gence.
