HEALTH GOOn IN NAVY.
As Safe From Disease ms in Hattie.

Washington, Aug. 6.--The secretary OF
the navy tonight made public the follow
ing telegram from Admiral Sampson:
Playa, Aug. q, lS9S.-The marine bat
TALON is in excellent health. The sick
list numbers p per cent The fleet sur
geon reports they are in better condition
for service in this climate than they were
when they first arrived south in June
The health of the squadron at Guantan-
amo is fairly good. The sick list numbers
about per cent. The general tone OF
health of the ships company has fallen
considerably since the first of July. This
however is not due to the prevalence 6f
any disease, but is probably due to the
release from the strain and constant ef-
fort under which they so long lived, and
to this probably more than to any other
cause is due their somewhat impaired
physique. l do not think it necessary to
send the marine battalion north. The
crews have borne their privations in a
manner beyond praise. The ships crews
have not been ashore i'm six months and
three months have been in facilitating
climate SAMPSON.
Secretary long stated tonight that it
was the purpose of the department to or
der north those ships not required for
the blockade as soon as the exigencies of
the war will permit.

domination of Army Supplies.

San Francisco, Aug. 9.--The big trans
ports Scandal and Arizona may sail for
the Philippines by the end of the week
but not before. There is a growing be-
lief that they may not carry so many men
as was at first intended and the begin
ming of peace negotia tons will mean the
mastering out of the majority of the
troops remaining at camp Merritt and
the Preside.
General Merritt now has with him, or
on the way to Manila, $4,000 men. Nearly
5000 tons of commissary stores will go
on the Scandal and Arizona.
The only movements of troops during
the early part of the week will be the
beginning of their march to the Yosem-
lite of the Utah cavalry and perhaps the
sailing of $50 members of the First New
York regiment on the Mariposa. No ar
engagements have been perfected yet for
the transportation of the rest OF the reg
iment and they are likely to remain here
tpr several weeks yet unless more vessels
than are now in sight are found to take
them.

The board of survey appointed by Gen
eral King to report on the circumstances
attending the informal issuing of blank
cts, shoes and other clothing by First
Lieutenant l.. C. Smith, regimental quar-
| termaster of the Twentieth Kansas regi-
ment, has made its report.
While Lieutenant Smith is not held
criminally careless in the conduct Of his
office yet the responsibility for the short
age is fastened upon him and it is rec
commended that he make good the value
of the lost supplies, which is approx
mately 800.
A report has been filed by the board of
survey appointed by General Merriam
finding that 1924 pairs of shoes issued to
the Tennessee regiment were inferior;
that 1912 Springfield rifles furnished the
same regiment were second hand and
worked over, though serviceable The
condemnation of 1877 bayonets, scabbards
and an equal number of cartridge boxes
is recommended

Secretary Day to Resign.

New York, Aug. s.--A Washington
special to the Herald says:
In connection with the probable selec.
ton of Secretary Day as one of the peace
commissioners, it is stated he will, at
an early date, retire from the Office of sec.
rotary of state, and, after concluding his
labors as one of the members of the com.
mission, resume the practice OF law in
Canton.
Although this is the first public an.
nouncement that Day intends to retire
from public life, it has long been known
to his intimate friends that when he ac.
eepted the portfolio he did so with the
understanding that he would resign i'm
mediately after peace was restored be-
tween Spain and the United States.

ROOSEVELT HURT,
"r"zed by n Spanish Shell In Hattie
Before Santiago.

New York, Aug. 6-Colonel Theodore
hooseNelt has not hitherto been reported
among the wounded at Santiago, but ac.
cordng TO the statement of rough rider
nov one of the wounded on Governor
Island, ne was slightly hurt by fac.
ment OF Spanish shell during the attack
ON san Juan hill
Teddy, said the rough rider. was
with four or five other officers Just below
the brow OF a hill upon which one of
our batteries was placed. 4 Spanish
shell flew over the crest and exploded
Just above the heads of the group. Two
officers were painfully wounded, but Ted
dy, with his usual good luck. ESCAPED
with a Craze of the back of his right
hand. Whipping out his handkerchief
he bound it round his hand. A little
later, when he was near our line. he held
up his bandaged hand and exclaimed.
gayly: See here, boys; I've got it, too.
Il never saw anybody so anxious to
be in the thick of trouble at Teddy. The
first day the rough riders were held in
reserve Teddy chafed terribly. He kept
saying: 1 wish they would let us start.
We all idolize Teddy. He wears a
flannel shirt most of the time and refuses
to fare any better than his men. Why,
he wouldn't have shelter tent when
they were distributing them. There is
not one of our fellows who would not
follow Teddy to hades if he ordered US"
1t is supposed that Colonel Roosevelt's
casualty was regarded as too slight to
be reported or that it was suppressed at
his request, on account of his desire not
to alarm his family and friends by an
appearance in the list of wounded.

OF the Sixth Massachusetts officers the
colonel, lieutenant colonel and the majors
and three captains resigned. They were
charged with incompetency and lack OF
discipline. The trouble in the Sixth Mas.

that white officers refuse to return the

Five Tran stations.

Washington, Aug. S.-Spain's answer
i the demands of the United States is
,v on the way to Washington, but it is
,ming with slowness almost painful
view of the earnest desire TO know
riether the acceptance is complete OF
qualified.
There are no less than five TRANSACTIONS,
tm of them in cipher, in transmission
yween Madrid and Washington. After
he Spanish cabinet meeting last night
the response was reduced to a Spanish
ipher and then sent to the Spanish am
assador at Paris. by whom it was to be
uanslated into French, after which the
AMBASSADOR would deliver it to the
French foreign office to be reduced to the
french cipher for transmission to the
French ambassador here. These moves
hke, it is calculated, eight or ten hours
The impression prevailed in official
quarters up to midday that the response
would not reach the president until quite
hte today at the best, and more likely
hot before tomorrow.
Inc impression Is growing IN ofhclal
quarters that the Spanish answer, while
lin the nature of concession of the Amer
lean demands, is not brief and simple
acceptance, without reservation OF condi-
ton. There is no direct official advice
on this point, but all the official advices
from Madrid indicate the response is a
document of considerable length, pre-.
pared with laborious care, and it has sew
raj features which may not appear in
he conditions presented by the United
tates.
1t is probable the reply will be in the
ands of the government in time for con-
Iteration at the regular cabinet meet
ne tomorrow, when the sufficiency or in
efficiency of the response will be deter
mined. II
