DonueIb, no bhiu.
Mrs. walworth got a carriage and drove
twelve miles to Amagansett. She could get but
ak quarts Of milk there. but she got ak quarts
more in the only house she passed on the way,
and wired Easthampton to send all the milk
n had for sale. The twelve quarts OF milk went
alonR way toward relieving the sick men. and
their gratitude was enough to bring tears to
ones eyes. Just as soon as tents In the new
hospital are put up these sick men will be
transferred 10 them. and everything that can
b. done for them will be done. With proper
nourishment and medicine they win soon be up
and around. for the very air here is a tonic.
Mrs. walworth went TO New York this after-
noon for thirty carpenters, and says that the
War Relief Association will pay their wages II
the Government doesn't. Helen Gould and Mrs.
Russell Sage wired Mrs. Walworth this after
noon that they will be here tomorrow to lay
plans for the associations work In camp.
Howard Townsend OF the Red Cross arrived
here to-day TO take charge Of the Red Cross
work. A Red Cross yacht is expected here to-
morrow loaded with supplies.
To the great relief Of everybody the quaran-
tine question has been about decided, and 1t is
now pretty certain that the transports will
S come straight here and land their men at the
iron pier on the Sound side OF the port. Gen.
= Young received word to-day that Dr. Doty. the
Health Officer. would come here tomorrow
and make arrangements for the proper con-
duct OF the work Of disinfection. DR.. Doty does
4 not come here in his official capacity. but at the
suggestion OF Gov. Black. He will simply give
the officers here the benefit OF his experience
!, rs Health Officer, and he will certainly be well
y coined with open arms. Gen. Young also got
word that tho big dlsinfecting barge Protector
= had left Philadelphia and would arrive here to-
morrow and that the revenue cutter Dexter
was on the way here.
The plan Ia TO bring the transports up to the
ron pier. which will be guarded by pickets.
All OF the clothing OF the men will then be dis
infected in wooden buildings. which are to be
{ erected on the beach. The men will then be
marched to the detention camps, the wounded
and sick being taken In ambulances. Instead
OF one detention camp for 5000 men. there are
. to be five. each one capable of accommodating
1000 men. These camps will be separated
and the only road to them will be closed up.
Armed pickets will surround them, and 1t will
be dangerous business for any one to try and
get by the guards. for the orders will be TO
shoot without hesitation. After the mon are
of the transports tho Protector will disiniect
the steamers. and they will anchor here until
ordered somewhere else by the Washington
authorities. 1t has been decided here to carry
QUITO the very letter any suggestions made by
DR.. Doty.
The question OF establishing %canteens here Is
an interesting one. Every train brings down a
dozen men looking for privileges. and the ma
jority Of them want to open canteens. This
county is prohibition. 80 strictly 30 that up In
West Hampton, II you want n drink, you have
to go into a cigar store and pay 20 cents for a
hve-cent cigar, and then have a drink with the
proprietor. as his guest, OF course. The army
people favor the canteen. From experience
they know the absolute necessity OF that insti-
tuition. and they are pretty we'll convinced that
they can have them in camp whether the county
officials like 1t or not. 1t is pretty safe betting
that the canteen will be a prominent part OF
this camp.
Ninth and Tenth Cavalry. colored. arrived here
at q o'clock on a special train from Long Island
City. The men have been at Fort Mcpherson.
Ga, for weeks and have seen no active service.
Their camp was in readiness when they ar
rived. but they had a three-mile march through
the mud before they got there. The men are
in excellent condition, but two men being on
the sick list. These men were sent to the tenn
porary hospital. The troopers brought 800
horses with them.
The first fatality Of the camp occurred this
afternoon. John McAndrew. a laborer. was
aitting under a freight car when an engine
backed up against 1t and started it down the
track. McAndrew was crushed and died almost
Instantly.
The first soldiers wounded In Cuba to arrive
here came down tonight on the train which
brought the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry. There
are ten Of them. all colored men. and they be-
long to those troops OF the Tenth Cavalry which
went to the front. The most interesting man
among them is Sergeant Dyals OF Troop c. In
the fight at Las Guasimas. where so many Of
the rough riders were injured. Dyals was shot
In the left leg. His injury was regarded as
serious and Dyals was ordered back to the coast
for treatment. He went. had his leg dressed
and then mounted q horse and caught up with
his troop. He declined to stay In the hospital
and was finally permitted to go on with his
men. In one Of the fights before San
tiago Dyals was one Of q squad Of colored
cavalrymen that charged on a blockhouse and
captured 1t. Later the Spaniards made an
effort to recapture the blockhouse. Dyals was
looking through one OF the rifleholes In the
blockhouse when one Of the Spaniards got q
hne on him and sent a Mauser bullet into his
left eye. The bullet came out on the right side
+ OF Dyals nose. carrying away q part OF that
organ. The man has lost the sight OF his left
eye and may become totally blind. Dyals says
that In the Las Guasimas fight he was only 9
few yards way from Hamilton Fish when he
was shot. The other nine men were wounded
In either the legs or the arms. but are now II
pretty good shape. After they were wounded
they all contracted fever and were taken t.
Tampa. Later they went to Fort Mcpherson.
