THINKS CUBA ISN'T WORTH IT

Guthrie, o. T., Aug. 6.-(SpeciaL)-The
following letter received by Mr.. Allen Nor
ris, from hi sson, E. S. Norris, who is a
member of the Guthrie contingent OF
Rough Riders, tells of some hardshps the
army is encountering in Cuba:
In the Field, Santiago, July Is, 1851
suppose you all think we are a long time
in the field near Santiago. I think so
myself-we have been fighting and bonn
harding for thirteen days, when we were
not under flag of truce; we are under
one now. This war gets worse and worse
it rains every day and the heaviest dews
at might. When we are crowded in the
hospital, and have to sleep outside. we
get as wet as rats. Sickness is growing
rapidly in the town of Siboney, from
where we get our supplies. There are
seventeen cases of yellow jack. 1 don't
know how bad it is but yellow fever is
bad enough in any form. Our worst trou-
bles are malaria, neuralgia, rheumatism
and cilills, and more sun strokes than
few. There has been an epidemic among
US that begins with a chill followed by
fever and very severe pain in all parts
of the body. 1 took it three days ago.
If we are kept here two months longer
one half Of us will never get back. It Is
awful the way the boys have to lie in the
trenches in the daytime and the sun and
rain boiling down tremendously, and at
night they have to dig trenches. Do you
hear anything of Spain suing for peace?
We never hear anything. We don't know
what this flag of truce is for now. Our
major, DR.. La Motto, was struck with
a silrapnel the other day and has gone
back to America. He will not be with US
any more. Our coolnel was made brig
adler general the other day. It is very
warm here. 1 don't feel as though I
could stand much of this sun today.
Are you having plenty of melons? Oh,
for a good square meal.
1 have just heard what that flag of truce
means. We had telegram from Wash
ington stating that Spain is suing for
peace. / hope by the time you get this
peace will be declared

Cuba. E S. NORRIS
