place the 10000 or 10000 Spaniards
who own the most valuable plinta
tons would sell them for whatever

AROUND SANTIAGO.
Something About tn. City That ns Doom
ed to Capture.

There are about 10000 Spanish SOL
diers in and around Santiago. Cuba
Captain Alfred Poey of New York. who
has just returned from General Garcia's-
headquarters with Lieutenant Rowan's
party. says that there are garrisons Of
Spanish troops and volunteers in all of
the small towns around Santiago for n
radius OF twenty-five or thirty miles,
which are well fortified and have good
artillery, with which they have been
successful in standing Off the insur-
gents, although the latter have kept
them in n state of siege and have cut
of their supplies from the country. The
people of Santiago have been fed with.
produce that has been brought in by
boats. Now that the blockade has
stopped that they Will be dependent en-
tireiy upon what they had in store and
the vegetables that can be raised in the
suburbs of the city,
The normal population of Santiago Ia
11.000 by the la.est official returns,
which has been Increased 10 100000 by
the military garrisons. The town is
easily fortified and difficult OF assault,
because of the hills that surround it,
1t lies in pocket. The fortifications
ON the land side are more formidable
than those ON the sea, and are wen de
Tended by modern Krupp rapid-fire
guns. Captain Poey says it would re-
quire a large force and tremendous
sacrifice OF life before the city could
be taken. a short line of railway runs
up from Santiago city about thirty
miles into the interior TO a town called
ST. Luis. Another line OF railway con-
meets the iron mine at Cobre. which
belonged to the Rockefellers, with their
docks on Santiago bay. Both of these
roads are well fortified the entire dis
tance and protected by Spanish troops
and volunteers. Within the fortified
zone outside of the city there are per-
haps 10000 soldiers. which make a to-
tai OF $4,000 that will have to he dealt.
with when an attack is made. The on
ly way to capture Santiago. Captain
Poey thinks, would be to drive the out
lying garrisons into the city. cut on
their supplies from the country and
starve them out. This would Of COURSE
occasion good deal OF suffering and
the sacrifice OF the lives of n great
many innocent persons, chiefly women
and children. because the soldiers
would be first TO be fed.

When the United States captures and

WOUNDED SOLDIERS.
ARE GIVEN EVERY ATTENTION.
The Horrors of War Are Greatly Lessened
by Improved Methods of Surgery and
Caring for the Sick.

I Surgeon General Van Reipen of the
navy is back in Washington from q
trip TO New York. where he inspected
the naval ambulance ship. the Solace,
and saw the sick and wounded
brought up from Admiral Simpsons
fleet. fifty-four in all. The wounded
inclnde those who participated in the
engagements at Cardenas, CienfUegos
and Matnnzas. The men are doing
wei and there will be no fatalities re-
sulting- one OF the men will lose an
arm, us that member WIS SO blown to
pieces by shell that amputation
above the elbow was necessary. All
the other patients win be more fortu-
nate.
| Surgical science has made such
great advances since the civil war
that there viii he no such great loss
OF limbs and other permanent distig-
lremcnts occurred thirty years ago.
One OF the men brought up ON the
, Soiace had his thigh bone shattered
10y piece OF Spanish shell. The
shell went Into the tieshy part OF the
thigh. crushing the bone to splinters
and emerging on the other side of the
leg. IL made n gaping wound com
pletely through the leg. with the thigh
bone severed. During the civil war
nmputation OF the leg near the hip.
But, under the present methods of an
tiseptic treatment nmputation was
not necessary in this ease. The treat
ment has already shown that the limb
will be saved, although IL may be n
tribe shorter than before. Not only
vs. ampuiatlon avoided. but the present
methods of treatment do away with
much OF the Intense suffering the sol
dier Of the eivIl war had to pass
| through.
! The other wounds under treatment
are not Of serious character and call
for no special surgical skill. The
sick men. about forty-four In number,
have no signs OF contagious disease,
their ailments being chronic. such as
consumption, heart disease. etc. They
were taken away from the fighting
ships as the northern latitude will aid
/ In their recovery. and also because
| sickness ON board ship had depress-
Ing influence on the fighting crews.
The sufferers. both sick and wounded.
showed their delight when taken
aboard the Solace. Ii Is appointed
like modern hospital. with cheerful
wards and every facility towards re-
storing health.
During the civil war our sick and
wounded were kept In hospitals at the
mouth OF the Mississippi river. at Key
West, and at other points near the
scene of action. The intense heat OF
the South added to the distress of the
wounded, largely increasing the death
rate. Dr. Van Reipen determined
upon new policy in the present war.
! He intends TO remove all the sick and
wounded TO the North. the Solace
