ACRITICAL TINE
During the Battle Of
Santiago.
Sick Or We'll, a Rush Night
and Day.
The Packers at the Battle Of Santiago de Cuba
were all Heroes. Their Heroic Efforts in
Getting Ammunition and Rations to the
Front Saved the Oay.

p. Z. Butler of pack-train No. 5. writ
ing from Santiago, De Cuba. on July 23d,
says: I've all had diarrhoea in more or
less violent form. and when we landed
we had no time to see a doctor, for it was
case of rush and rush night and day to
keep the troops supplied with ammuni-
ton and rations, but thanks to Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. We were able to keep at work
and keep our health; in fact, 1 sincerely
believe that at one critical time this med
icine was the indirect savior of our
army, for If the packers had been unable
to work there would have been no way of
getting supplies to the front. There were
no roads that wagon train could use.
My comrade and myself had the good
fortune to lay in a supply of this medi-
cine for our pack-train before we left
Tampa. and know in four cases It all
sOlutely saved life''

With 100000 Francs.
Relates Ms Exciting Experiences While Il
the City 81 Mexico.

New York, Sept 4.-The story from
Havana that Gen. De Pando, the for
mer commander OF the Spanish troops
at Manzillo had secretly fed from
Cuba on the French steamship Notre
Dame du Salut, for Spain with 1900. :
600 francs, was proven to be unfound-
ed, today. when the Ward Liner Phila-
delphia came up to her dock.
Gen. De Pandp was the first Of the
AZ passengers which arrived from Ha-
yana on the vessel to land. He was
plainly dressed and wore nothing to
indicate his high rank in the Spanish
army. He claims to speak no English
ad after arranging for the removal Of
his baggage, drove to his hotel
The custom officers who examined
Gen. De Pando's luggage said that the
visitor was well supplied with funds.
Chatting with some OF the Spanish
passengers during the voyage to this
city, Gen. Pando is said to have told
Of his recent experience in Mexico.
While at the City Of Mexico. according
to the story Gen. Pando was the guest
Of the Marquis De Sasmera.
One night the general was aroused
by the NMarquesado Sasmera scream
ing that there were thieves in the haci-
enda. In the dark corridor Gen. Pan
do grappled with man he found there
and was stabbed in the neck before he
discovered that the supposed burglar
was really the Marquis who had re-
turned late from the theatre. The
wound was slight.
Owing TO the remark made concern
ing the occurrence and reflections
made on the character Of the mar
quese by Baron Starke, the iron king
of Durango. the Marquis De Sasmera
challenged him to a duel with pistols.
were wounded. The Marquis De Sas-
mera was shot in the body and Starke
iost one of his eyes.
The Mexican authorities upon
learning of the dues arrested the prin-
cipals and the seconds. and Pando said
he was anxious to know the outcome
Of the prosecution.
In an interview, tonight. Gen. Pan
do said: There has been no war.
There are 100000 soldiers in Cuba who
have not seen an American soldier
My opinion is that the Spnish and
Americans We're simply enveigled into
4 war by the politicians of the two
countries. The politicians made fools
of the soldiers-they sold them.
In response to the question of his
destination Gen. Pando said that h.,
was on his way to Madrid Asked Il
he thought the Cubans could govern
themselves. Gen. Pando said he
thought they could.
