into the dock at the foot of Pacific street,
Brooklyn. There was a large gathering of
friends and relatives of the wounded men
at the dock, and rousing cheers went up
lom those assembled on the pier and along
the docks and yards in the vicinity. These
cheers were answered by the heroes on
board the Olivette, and there was general
waving of hats and handkerchiefs. Last
night one hundred of the most severely
wounded were transferred to the marine
hospital on Staten island, and there were
over one hundred to be attended to to-day.
There were ambulances from all the Brook
Ign and New York hospitals in waiting, and
the work of transferring the patients was
begun as soon as the gang plank was placed
in position.
Among the first to be brought ashore were
those who could not their lower limbs
They were carried on stretchers to the am
balances and taken to st. Peters and Long
Island College Hospitals which are within
half mile of the place of landing. In adj
dition to the ambulances, several carriages
and wagons were pressed into service, and
in less than two hours all the wounded had
been cared for. Over fifty of them were
sent to the hospital on Governors island

Staten island, and some of them came to the
city and were nursed by friends and rela-
tives in private residences. Out of the one
hundred men sent to the marine hospital
last night ninety were suffering from gum
shot wounds. There were five cases of
malarial fever and three of prostraton from
heat and other causes. None of these cases
is considered dangerous, and, in fact, the
surgeons and doctors who had charge of
the men on the Olivette assert that, with
good care and treatment. none of the men
will succumb. The entire medical STATS of
the two Brooklyn hospitals were in attend
ance to-day, and everything possible was
done by them to make the manned heroes
comfortable Several colored soldiers were
among those sent to the Brooklyn hospitals,
and their white comrades spoke highly of
their fighting capabilities.

spondent who was shot in the fight at La
Quasina, was transferred to his house, No.
