The race problem, in dealing with
Puerto Rico, is quite certain to be a
difficult one: but the religious problem
will be still mere perplexing. The in
habitants OF the island are-substan-
TALLY without exception-Roman Cath
olics., Although there are millions Of
Americans Of the same faith, the new
citizens of our country will naturally
regard us as Protestant people. They
are accustomed to a religion establish
ed by law and supported by the state.
There will be nothing of the sort here
after. The Puerto Ricans will have
perfect freedom in religion, but they
must support their own institutions,
CT rely upon Roman Catholics here and
in other countries to provide the funds.

One OF the results of the late war be-
tween the United States and Spain
will most likely be the abolition OF
that form of naval piracy which finds
its Justification in prize courts. In the
military service OF the civilized world
the principle of looting conquered ter
ritory has long since been abaadoaed.
Yet, through that strange contradiction
which has not reformed the navy in
the same ratio in which the army has
been brought under civilizing iaxu-
ences, not only did the merchant ves-
sells carrying contraband goods fall q
prey, but a valuation Of the warskiss
destroyed is bound to SO to officers ans

Camp Meade, Middletown, Pa, Aug.
23.-Colonel Norman NJ. Smith, Of

at the head of the Second battalion

from the cars to the camp and was
removed to his headquarters in a
carriage. Surgeon Wiley says the
coloners condition is not serious and
that he will be all right in n few days.
The First battalion of this regiment

them; no horses or mules could be OBJ
tained at any price. For time-in
fact, for most of the time-every man
had to carry his blanket roll about with
him wherever he went. The Record
correspondents, however. were particu-
larly fortunate. Major Brodie of the
Rough Riders, who was disabled by his
wounds in the first fight, was kind
enough to lend me one of his horses,
and at Siboney a day or two after Mr..
Malcolm Mcdowell succeeded in pro-
curing horse. He got up very early
In the morning to do It and he said
nothing Of his intention before he start
ed. A little before daybreak he return
ed triumphantly leading Rosina by a
rope that looked as IL II had been hur-
riedlY cut. Rosina stood about eight
hands high and might have scaled 165
pounds. She was haggard and had
dark rings under her eyes and she was
evidently suffering from a catarrhal
anection-but she was undeniably a
morse. Mr.. Billman and / inspected
her carefully and we both came to
that conclusion. ] must say in justice
TO Mr.. Mcdowell that he never at
tempted to ride her-it would have
been madness--but Rosina packed his
blanket roll and two cans of corned
beef and two of tomatoes to the front
that day and never staggered.
Then after the sack of El Caney Mr..
Billnan obtained a mule, with the sad
Ole and bride complete, so that we go
along pretty well. Our first camp in
the field was near Gen. Shafters-head-
quarters by the side of the road. Here
we fastened two army blankets to-
gether with safety pins. ns.stretched them
over a little ridge pole and pegged
the coroners into the ground. This
Kept the dew off fairly well, but it
was far from rainproof, and we wrote
our copy" under difficulties when the
weather was wet. Our account of
the engagement of July l was written
as we sat, wrapped In our rubber coats,
in about three inches of water, with
little streams pouring from above
trickling down our devoted necks, and
spattering from our hat brims on the
paper. AS for food, we had excellent
hardtack and fine, fat bacon, washed
down with an infusion of coffee beans
In hot water. Once there was a brief
season OF plenty, when we reveled in
canned oxtaii soup and deviled ham.
MOVING CAMP.
After a few days our camping place
became crowded with wagons and we
decided to move. We selected a beauti-
ful spot under great tree a few yards
from the banks of tributary of the
san Juan. Five minutes after we had
moved some wagons drove up and the
teamsters began unloading tents. Gen.
Shafter had decided to move also, and
lie had picked out the same place. We
got along pretty well, however, and
except for a propensity for borrow
ing candlesAwhich he never returned
Gen. Shafter was not a bad neighbor.
