SHOCKING SUFFERINGS
ENDURED BY THE SOLDIERS AT SANTI-
AGO AND ON TRANSPORTS.
With Over 200 Sick and Starving Regu-
Iars-..None Would Have Reached Home
Alive Were It Not for DIR. Henning.

CAMP W1KoFF, MoNTAUK POINT
Six companies of the Seventh Regular
Infantry were unloaded Saturday from
the transport Yucatan. Seven men
died on the way from Santiago. Three
more died on the ship Friday night
before the Yucatan got to the pier.
Two hundred were brought home sick.
The remainder were hungry and ex-
hausted.
There was no food for the sick on
board Saturday morning. Nothing
but army rations, and these not Of the
best quality, were left. The sick and
suffering soldiers would have had to
60 without breakfast but for Gen. Jos.
Wheeler. He heard of their awful
condition and sent proper supplies on
board.
When the Stars and Stripes were
hoisted over Santiago, the sick of the
regiment were sent into hospital camp,
six miles away in valley. There was
no hospital food for them, only the
regular army rations. There were no
medicines, only the handful that Sur
geon Jones carried. There were no
other surgeons, no nurses or attend
ants. At one time there were more
than one hundred men down with ty-
phoid fever. In one day eleven ty,
phod patients died.
All available room in the hospital is
in use. The two hundred sick men
are still on board the transport. They
have been properly fed lately, how
ever, and Red Cross nurses are doing
their best to alleviate their condition
All the men and officers tell shocking
stories of the regiments sufferings, mo-
only on the Yucatan, but in Cuba aftel

Braintree Branch Church Burned.

Monday forenoon the Baptist church at

in spite OF all that could be done to pre-
vent, the church caught also and was de.
stroyed very quickly.
This church was an old landmark and
has notable history. 1t was built in

first pastor. After his death in 1928 inter

CARELESS QUARRYMEN.
Complaints of Reckless Blasting at
Newark and Payonia

Residents in the neighborhood of the
junction of Newark and Pavonia ave-
nues are complaining of the carelessness
OF the quarrymen engaged in taking out
stone in that vicinity. Scarcely a day
passes that some narrow escapes from the
flying stones of an uncovered blast is
not recorded. The carelessness of the
workmen in not covering the blasts with
logs has filled the residents in the neigh
borhood with apprehension of danger.
Yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock one
of these blasts was set off.
It proved a powerful one. Stones flew
in all directions, one narrowly missing
a passing Court House car, another
landed on the roof of the brick building
No. sos Newark avenue, the lower floor
of which is occupied as a barracks by
Corps 3 of the Salvation Army.
Patrolman John G.. I'M of the Third
precinct, who was passing at the time,
ran over and threatened to place the
quarrymen under arrest if the offense was
repeated. The people living in the neigh
borhood are subjected to great danger,
adm the matter should receive the imme-
date attention of the police.

PROBABLY A JUST A0QUITTAL

John Hayes of Hoboken was tried In the
General Sessions Court yesterday after
noon for assault and battery on John
Thompson, of No. la Grand street, and
resisting Patrolman Rabold. Tit testi-
mony showed that Thompson was the ag-
gressor in the ARRAY between him and
Hayes, and Judge Hudspeth directed the
defendants acquittal on that charge.
Policeman Rabold testified that Hayes
not only resisted arrest, but took his club
away and beat him with it. Hayes, in
his own defense, said that Rabold had a
long standing grudge against him and
that he took the club away from the po-
liceman after the latter had beaten him
numerically.
1t was shown that Hayes had a very
bad record, but the jury acquitted him.
