Shafter Denies That Transports Were
overcrowded-Daily Report From
Santiago-0livette in Port

WASHINGTON, Aug. H.-Some COM
plant reached the war department con-
corning the bad sanitary conditions on the
transport Mobile, which arrived at Mon
tauk point a few days ago from Santiago.
The ship, 1t was charged, was overcrowded
and the sick on board were not properly
or adequately provided for. The depart
ment communicated with General Shafter
on the subject, and In response to the
dispatch received the following explana-
ton:
SANTIAGO, Aug. 2O-Adjutant General,
|U. S. A., Washington: Referring to your
telegram about overcrowding the Mobile,
her captain reports that loaded as she was
going to Porto Rico, he could carry 5000
men and that he could carry 1000 comfort
ably; therefore did not think 1900 too many.
The ship was carefully inspected by n
board of officers and DR.. Ives. member
of the board, states that it was not over
crowded. Accommodations for officers
wire, however, somewhat deficient. The
large number of deaths can probably be
accounted for by the fact that this brig
ade took nearly all their sick with them.
The greatest care has been taken in this
respect. Transports had been loaded with
from two to three hundred men less than
the same ship brought down.

Sampson MeIts At Last.
lExchange.I

Fresh from the perils of bat tie, in which he had borne easily leaders part, with scenes of carnage and death still strong in his memory, with the plaudits of welcoming millions ringing in his ears, the brave sailor, Admiral Sampson, at the sight of his dear home and the loved ones there, and the hundreds of his fellow towns people who had gathered to welcome him. broke down and wept like a child.
 Glen Ridge gave the admiral a great welcome home An admiral's salute was rung out on the town fire bell. When the admiral stepped from the train he found a big, cheering crowd and a band that was playing "When Johnny comes Marching Home Again"
 When the house was reach ed he met Mrs. Sampson on the veranda, while the big lawn was covered with citizens, their wives and children. who cheer ed and clapped their hands Ijoyously when the band, at the moment the admiral greeted his handsome wife, broke out with Home, Sweet Home."
 A woman, not so we'll dress ed, perhaps, as some of the people, pushed her way slowly through the throng:
 "Won't you kiss the baby for me, admiral! I'm a soldiers widow"
 Kiss the baby?" sad the grand old man, in voice rremb bling with feeling, "why, of purse 1 will" And he took the little one in his arms and kissed 1t several times. The soldiers widow burst into tears, and when she took the baby from the arms of the man who had faced death without tlinching the tears rolled down his checks, and he was So overcome that for several mo- ments he could not respond to the kind salutations of his friends.

Half of the Volunteers Will be Re-
tained.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-ln response Io the request of the Governors of some of the States for the muster out of their en- tire volunteer force, the Presi- dent has replied in substance as follows
 "Answerlng your telegraphic request for the musterout of your regiments, l have already directed that 100000 of the volunteers shall be mustered out of the service. This be- cause in my judgement that mum Der can be spared. About 100000 will remain, as the Government now requires in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil lpplnes a larger army than the regular military esta blishment fl ords. The muster out, like the muster in, will be nearly as possible according to the population of the several States. The suggestion to muster out all the volunteers from your State cannot, there fore, De entertained. The Sec retary of War has already in quired of the Governors of these several States what regi- ments in their judgment can with the least inconvenience remain in the service. Their advices will, so far as consis- tent with the public interests, be complied with"

oP"HldIuS lO HSIlL. 1Ho na ' tives are fighting the Spaniards night and day. some of the natives are armed only with long knives but when they kill a Spaniard they cut his throat and take bis gun. If a native Kills several Spaniards and gets several guns he is made an officer in the Insurgent army. The insurgents wear Spanish uniforms as they al ways take the clothes from a a Spaniard when they kill him they don't take any prison CTS. Yesterday I saw a native with Spanish majors uniform on.
 Our boys are doing we'll on the rations and we have had no sickness yet to amount to anything. We are allowed to trade with the natives and 1t Is great fun to go into thelr little villages and buy eatables. They are wise enough to know that they can charge us most any price when we see some thing we want and we want most anything we can eat. Every day some of the natives come out of Manila and tell of the awful suffering there. It Is not only the lnhabi Of the capitol of the Philippines that are pinched for food but the Spanish soldiers as we'll The Spanish soldiers are treated very badly and only half fed and seldom paid. All they get is a little rice and some dry fish. They cannot afford to buy fish or any thing as every thing Is 50 dear Fish that used to cost } cents a dozen now cost 9 and 50 cents a piece. Chickens are bringing one and two dollars apiece and robbing and murder are going on in the city all the time, The city is completely shut in. Dewey has the harbor block aded and the insurgents and our army is all around it. The insurgents would like to cap ture the city 50 they could plunder and rob Everyone there. When we take the city, besides looking after the Span ish soldiers, We will have to keep the insurgents out.
 The French and German have war vessels here and Admiral Dewey has had to go over sev eral times and call the German Commander down. England and Japan both have war ships here and last week when Ger many tried to act cute the English and Japanese Com manders sent word to the Ctr man CommaLder that if he be- gan clearing ais decks they would do the same. If Dewey wants to bonn bard the city the English will see that Germany keeps out.
 We have had no mail yet since leaving Frisco" but we have some in the harbor when the ships are unloaded that have just arrived. We get News from Hong Kong, China News reaches Hong Kong by cable and our Dispatch boats bring it over.

Aug. 2nd.-Since writing the above we have been having a "hot time in the old town" so will write you about it. Night before last at 11:35 the Spanish made a charge on our lntrench- ments with two thousand men and the attack was so sudden and unexpected that they drove our boys back from a part of the intrenchments but the boys fought them to a finish and when reinforced by the Cali
 fornla regiment drove the Span ish intrencilments and then the fighting was all done under cover of the intrenchments. It was a hot battle from the very start and bullets and shells were tearing up the country all around. When the Spanish opened fire on our intrench- ments we had a part of the Pennsylvania regiment and the Utah battery in the intrench
 ments, about eight hundred men. The California regiment led out first to reinforce the boys in the pits followed by our regiment the Colorado. We were put about a thousand yards back of the firing line and held as a support and as we were not needed we did not get into the battle but we did get plenty of stray shells and bullets that passed over the other boys and dropped around
