TWO DAYS In CUBA.
DIR. VIM. Carver Found He Couldn't
Stand the Climate.


DIR. William Carver, of 1920 Talbot ave-
nue., who enlisted in the United States army
fc hospital work last July, has returned to
Indianapolis OH a thirty-day furlough. which
he hopes to have extended to sixty days.
DIR. Carver says his health is wrecked as a
result of the exposure and worry incident
to army life. He weighed 17S pounds when
he left this city for the front, and now he
tips the scales at 1873.
DIR. Carver spent two days on Cuban soil.
but that was enough to convince him that
it meant death for him to stay there. He
was to serve in field hospital work with the
Fourth Army Corps when he left this city,
but on reaching Tampa, Fla, he found he
would have to hurry away to Cuba, as the
government was in need of hospital help
at that time. DR.. Carver says he was feel
ing badly when he sailed from Tampa, about
the first week in August and went much
against his will. Arriving at Santiago he
found he would be unable to stand the
climate, and after remaining there two days
succeeding in getting a furlough and sailed
on the first boat that left for Tampa He
says that when he reached Cuba there was
much typhoid fever of a malignant form
among the troops, and he considered this
disease as deadly as yellow fever. The
doctor has no particular criticism to offer
concerning the conduct of hospital work in
Cuba. 1t seemed to him the government
was doing the best it could for its suffering
soldiers. The excessive heat in Cuba struck
the doctor as being one of the worst fea-
lures. He saw much suffering among sick
soldiers who had to lie in the little field
tents. Inside these tents it is sitting hot.
Charles Hauk, of 1881 South New Jersey
street, who has been fighting with the
United States army in Cuba, arrived home
yesterday morning from Montauk Point, N.
Y. The young man is ill, and when he
bod l.
from his trip He has been in the hospital
at Montauk Point. He was in the Santiago
battle with the Sixteenth United States In
piece of shell. but was not severely
wounded The young soldier says he suf-
fered from lack of food and medical care.
He asserts that about one out of every
twenty-five men at Montauk Point is able
to walk.

truth of this statement. The work of

RUSSIA AND SpAIN-A dispatch fro

RUSSIA AND SPAIN-A dispatch from
Madrid says: l am able to state that
Russian diplomacy is even more active
than that of Germany and Austria in
prompting Spain to urge the continen'
tai powers to an effort to check the
United States. At different stages OF
the present war, Russia has assured the
Spanish foreign Office that she does not
want any European power or the
United States to establish itself in the
Spanish arcbipelagoes, having reasons
for not appearing too openly to favor
Spain, fearing thereby to promote an
understanding between England and
the United States.
Russia encouraged Germany to ex-
ercise pressure at Manila, and induced
France 10 take the lead in demonstra-
tions of sympathy, which the French
foreign office only reluctantly assented
10 do.
Ia the Philippines, Russia and
France will plead Spanish interests TO
prevent the United States, Germany
and Japan from interfering.
