A CRITICAL Time
During the Battle of
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.

The Packers at the Battle of Santiago
de Cuba were all Heroes. Their
Heroic Efforts in Getting Ammunition
and Rations to the Front Saved the
Day.
z. f. Butler, OF pack-train No 8.
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on July
23rd, says: Eve all had diarrhoea in
more or less violent form, and when we
landed we had no time to see a doctor.
for it was a case of rush and rush
night and day to keep the troops sup
piled with ammunition and rations, but
thanks to Chamberlain Collie, Cholera
and DiarrhOea Remedy, we were able
to keep Mt work and keep our health;
in fact, | sincerely believe that at one
critical time this medicine was the in
direct saviour of our army, for if the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting
supplies to the front. There were no
roads that wagon train could use. My
comrade and myself had the good for
tune to lay in supply of this medicine
for our pack-train before we left Tam
pa, and | know in four cases it absolute
ly saved life"

Montpelier Man Commits
Suicide.

MONTPELIER, June 1.-THE inhapi-
70 nts Of this usually quiet city were
startled early this morning by the news ;
thot Daniel Sweeney had committed
suicide. 80.
His body was found at $40 TIM, .
morning hanging to the limb of small
willow tree near the river bank.
ue was first discovered by two
workmen who were going to their
work. They promptly notified inc
authorities.
Sweeney was a man about 10 years
% ,oo and n widower. He was day
laborer, working on the street IN SUM
mer.
He has been sickly for some time
having received last winter an accident
to his foot, which resulted in gangrene
setting in. This, together with a gen.
eral melancholy, is supposed TO nave
been the cause of the suicide.
He boarded at the house OF Mrs. John
Magee at No. 6 Putnam street, near the
railroad and not far from the scene OF
the tragedy.
Arrangements for the funeral have
not yet been made

Next Invasion,
TWENTY THOUSAND
MEN FOR PUERTO RICO
TO ASSEMBLE AT FER
NANDINA,
Preparatious are Being Hur-
ried by the War Depart
ment-

Washington, June H. - Many factors
are combining to make the military ana
naval situation full of stirring activity,
and this was shown today by the large
crowds which thronged the corridors OF
the war and navy departments. The
war department is fastening forward
preparations at Ternandina, Fla,
which will make that point one OF the
most advantageous in the country for
the concentration of a large body OF
troops.
1t is said at the war department that
the special board which inspected Fer
nandina found the proposed camp
grounds so suitable by natural condi-
lions and surroundings that several
thousand troops could be accommodate
ed there today if it were necessary to
institute the camp at once. The orders
for this concentration have not yet been
issued, although the inference is clear
that they will follow when the Fernan-
dina camp grounds are ready. The de-
partment calculates that the grounds
will accommodate 10000 troops when all
preparations are completed.
The war department will give no in
timation as to how soon the orders will
be issued, but officials apparently take
1t for granted that they will come very
soon, now the camp grounds are being
put into readiness. 1t doubtless will be
the rendezvous for the troops at Chick
amauga and elsewhere which have been
ordered to receive their full equipment.
To Puerto Rico.
The various preparations have as
their main object the departure of a
large expedition to Puerto Rico at an
early date. 1t was confidently stated
by high officials within the last day or
two that it was hoped the expedition
could be so rushed as to get it away
within the next ten days. Whether the
extensive preparations, the moving of
troops, the gathering of transports and
the movement in detail, can be executed
IN this time is open to doubt, although
extraordinary eXertion marks every
prancn of the military service in ad-
Vanclng the expedition to completion.
Inc progress of General Shater's
army of invasion also comes in for
much attention, both at the war and
navy departments, for there is Joint in
.erest IN the time when the army can
fully re-enforce the gallant band of ma
rihes now holding the fort at Guanta-
namo. No word is possible from this
expedition before tomorrow or NEXT dav
ana then only in case Admiral Sarnsor
mas succeeded in repairing the Gable az
Guantanamo. a.
