the other patients. about one hundred
and twenty-five, are suffering from ae-
climatic fever. which il not contA-
glous. but which causes ehllls, cramps
and great pain for about Ave days. The
surgeons say that this fever will go
through the camp. attacking all who
have not had II. About score OF
men are taken sick every day, and
about the same number are discharged
from the hospitals.
The conyalescents and mllder cases
OF fever are cared for in the stockade.
where one large building Ia used for
hospital purposes. Two Spanish chap
lains, two surgeons. an apothecary's
steward, and nye junior lleutenants
have had a building built for their
special accommodation, and have been
fitted out with sailors clothes from the
navy yard storehouses. Their ward
room is fitted out with bunks ana
abundant furniture. Dr. Suarez, who
speaks English a little, says that while
there will bo a good deal for the doe
tors 10 do, they all expect to enjoy
themselves In camp.
The clyillzlng influence OF a short
piece OF rope Is ftill TO be seen at Camp
Long. In olden times the rope was
used TO COW starved and ill-treated
prisoners. Today II serves a different
purpose. The members OF the o..cer'a
mess hardly got new clothes before
they began deylsing amusements, and
| iumplng rope has become very pOpu-
lar. Two OF the more sedste officers
swing the rope while the others take
turns jumping.
