SICK SOLDIERS RETURNING
American Troops at Santiago
Start Back Home.

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 9.-The work
of embarking the American troops for
shipment to the isolated camp at Mon
tauk Point, Long Island, begins today.
Three transports are awaiting to re-
ceive the first regiments of cavalry and
Rough Riders. Probably 700 men in
all will be sent away in the first con-
signment of the sick. The most suf-
fering is from %calenture, a native
fever, which, while it is not as deadly
as yellow fever. is more painful and
weakening. The characteristics of the
disease are a high fever, the tempera-
ture ranging from 100 to los, with pains
in every bone Of the body and delirium.
The treatment consists Of profuse
sweating and total abstinence from
food for five or six days. A patient is
given all the water he can drink, how
ever. After the fever has commenced
to subside twenty to fifty grains Of
quinine are given daily. William Aston
Chanler has receiver as high as seventy
grains Of quinine daily.
The reports today show that 30 per
cent Of the men in all the camps to
the east and south Of Santiago are
unfit for duty. The hospitals are COM
pletely filled with cases and many men
who are not in the hospital are unable
to work. There have been four deaths
from calenture among the soldiers dur
ing the last foul days. Following are
the victims: William Cheevers, COM
pany I, private; Gus Graham, company
L, private; Stewart Williams, hospital
corps; Sergeant Young, company E..
There nave been no deaths among
the Rough Riders, save those who were
killed in battle. The number of sick is
now much larger than at any other
time. Exposed to the fever, the tropical
sun and the heavy night dews, all are
anxious to get away, believing they
cannot get well here. All hospitals,
regimental and division. corps and Red
Cross, are filled. Eighty officers are
sick with calenture end from their
wounds at the Club National, which
has been transformed into a Red Cross
hospital under charge OF Miss Wheeler,
daughter Of General Wheeler. Six noble
young women are caring for the men
here. All the sick will be sent home
az rapidly as transports can carry them.

ammunition remaining, when the re-
serves brought up fresh supplies. The
Spaniards had, by a rush, gone $50
yards through and beyond our right
flank when the regulars of the Third
artillery, armed as infantrymen, push
ed them back ! n confusion.
ASTOR BATTERY USELESS.
The Pennsylvanians and Utah bat
terry aided CALAMITY in the work. The
Aston battery tried it's best to get into
action, but it's ammunition was useless.
1t had been wet at a capsize at the
landing and in the fearful downpour
Of the storm, and would not explode.
After the attack on the right wing,
which began at II o'clock at night, had
been repulsed, the second Spanish at
tack at 2 o'clock in the morning was
directed against our left wing. After
thirty minutes of fighting h enemy
was again beaten Off, and the rain
seemed to be so heavy as to make fur
they attack impossible.
BATTLE RENEWED.
But at $3.50 a. m. the battle was re-
sumed at longer range. Spanish sharp
shooters firing from the trees and the
batteries firing constantly, using brass
coated bullets. The Americans, soaked
and powder stained, stuck to their guns
for fourteen hours without relief.
The hospital of the Pennsylvanians,
200 yards in the rear of their line, was
constantly under fire and riddled by
bullets. No lights were there, nor none
could be shown, and the accommodate
tons were entirely inadequate.
The S]paniards resumed firing on the
night of August l, but the battle had
by that time settled down into an ar
tillery duel, Spanish shells killed Will
liam Springfield of the First Colorado
and wounded Private Fred Field of
the First California and Private Ed
ward Zachary of the Colorado regi-
ment.
NEBRASKAN KILLED.
On the night of the second there was
some desultory firing. P. Lewis of the
First Nebraska regiment was killed
and another private of the same regi-
ment was wounded.
This ended the battle, though nightly
skirmishes continue. The ships took
no part, but in a day Or two, If Cen
eral August does not show the white
flag, he will be given a taste of Amer
lean valor when it is led to an attack.
There has arisen out of this fighting,
however, a most serious question as to
the attitude of Aguinaldo and the Fill
pinos. More than 500 of them quit the
trenches on Sunday morning, leaving
our right wing exposed. Though it was
their feast day, it is believed they

titude remains unsatisfactory.

cold was so intense last winter that it
seemed to enter a persons blood, caus-
ing all kinds Of blood diseases, rheu-
matism, neuralgia and in many cases
paralysis. About two-thirds of the
men are suffering from some one Of
these diseases. Palmer Joe worked for
himself on his own claim on Bonanza
creek and made from $25 to 500 a day
for a time. He was taken sick, like
a good many other miners, and idle
most Of the winter. In eighteen days
he took out $3.50 worth of gold dust.
Palmer Joe says there are two classes
of men that are getting rich. The spec
ulators and gamblers are making for
rich placer diggings. But the great ma
jority makes up another class who are
sick, dead broke and crazy to get out
Of the country. Joe states there are
numerous places in the Black Hills
where placer diggings are as rich as in
the majority Of the claims in the Klon-
dixie. AL Burnham, another old Black
Hills miner, came out with Palmer Joe.
There were five other men in the boa
coming down the Yukon river. They all
died but two before reaching the coast.
