HOME AGAIN.
Delighted to Once More Set Foot on
American Soil.

ssSkhS0n Sohs
Sergt James Smith of the District regf-
ment recently wrote TO his friends here of
the delight he and his comrades experienced
when they beheld again the shores of their
own country. after their soiourn In Cuba.
He says:
"MoNTAUK POINT, L. l.,
August "a. 1895
Here we are once more in the glorious
United States. after safe and pleasant
voyage from Santiago on the transport
Hudson. We had fine weather all the way
up. excepting the second day, when we had
moderate gale, which caused. the waves
to run pretty high and number Of the
boys to lose their dinners. You cannot i'm
agine the gladness with which we once
more saw American shores. Not until then
were any OF us sure We would ever reach
home There had been so much sickness
no one was sure but that he would be the
next victim. All we had coming up was
canned beef. beans and tomatoes. The
steward OF the vessel very kindly presented
us with some potatoes, which went fine, l
can tell you. In Cuba 1 got a Spanish ma
chette. which l expected to bring home
with me, but / traded 1t to the steward of
the boat for my grub on the way up. II
was hard to let it go, but you know with
me my stomach always comes first. The
steward treated me very well, but as /
shared whatever l got with three of my
chums there was not very much for any of
us.
There was one death on the boat at sea-
a man named Mcdonald of Company L.
When he died he was nothing more than
skin and bones. He was sewed uo in his
shelter tent and dropped overheard from
the stern of the boat, while a bugler boy
played taps.
We landed yesterday, and as We march
ed up the road to our camp we were given
milk and sandwiches by the women of the
Red Cross, and farther up the road we each
were given two bags of smoking tobacco
and piece of chewing tobacco; also box
Oh matches. This was all appreciated by
US, because where We came from the
schelne of the people was to get all they
could from us and to charge three or four
prices for everything We got of them
When we reached our camp we were
more than delighted to find it most beauti-
July situated. with snow-white tents al
ready up containing board flooring and all
ready for us to go right into them. We
are told by the troops here that we will get
f1ne food. with butter milk and canned
fruits. and all such Injuries during our
stay here, which We hope will not be more
than two weeks
We see by the papers that we Will get a
royal reception when we get home. Half
of the boys got SO excited that they could
not sleep last night"
