GERMAN PRESS
Seems to be Recovering From Its
Hatred of America, Since July 4.
Semi Official Explanations.

Berlin, July 16.-The recent speech
of Ambassador White is having a good
effect. The tone of the German press
has distinctly changed. Many news
papers which have been unfriendly are
now just the opposite.
Mr.. Whites Fourth Of July Grafton
has also strengthened his position.
The withdrawal of the German war;
ships from Manila was due to his
pointing out that such a formidable ar
ray Of German ships was suspicious.
An official of the foreign Office said:
THE presence Of our warships was
due to our desire to protect German
interests in the Philippines, which are
too large for one or two ships to pro-
tect in the event of things going wrong.
as the presence Of ships at various
points at the same time might be nee
essary.

Dewey was unable to land force to

The minister of commerce is inves-

Spain has been severely injured by
non-payments, while trade with the
United States has been little affected,

sharpshooters and vultures Greedy for
Prey.
New York. July 16.-Chaplain 7.
Dwight Galloupe, rector of st. Paufs
church, Newark, who is known as the
silver tongued orator of Newark,
and who went to the front as chaplain
of the Ninth U. S. regulars, was seen
at his home to-day. He was wounded
at the battle before Santiago and re-
turned to Newark last night. He said:
During the latter part of the battle
an immense shell burst right in front
of me. It hurled the earth against my
breast and threw me for considerable
distance. l was not rendered uncon-
scious, but l knew / could be OF no
further use during the battle. When l
saw others fall about me, decided that
the best thing would be to try and
reach the hospital.
There was only one ambulance on
the shore during the battle, and army
wagons without springs had to be
called into use to bring the most dan
gerously wounded back to camp. The
ride over that hard road in rough
wagons was terrible. Those unable to
get into the wagons started to crawl
back to the hospital at Siboney. 1t
was eight miles distant and the men
had to go through jungles on their
hands and knees. There was groan-
ing all the way and blood was every
where to be seen. The Spaniards did
not slacken their firing, but kept 1t
up on us, sharpshooters in trees trying
to pick off the wounded.
Had they known that we were
wounded l believe they would have
killed us all, but to give the impress
sion that we were in fighting condition,
I took the rifle OF one of the men who
fell and fired 1t. I shot from one
place, then dragged myself to another
place, fired and fed again, and fired
In another direction to give the impress
sion that the men in the line were able
to shoot in all directions. 1t took the
night of the first day and the middle
of the next day to reach the hospital.
The sufferings of the wounded were
beyond description, but all bore up
manfully and those injured not as Sc
yerely as the other tried TO cheer their
moro unfortunate comrades.
Some of the wounded with me be-
came exhausted after going few
miles and fell fiat on the ground.
Vultures could be seen soaring in the
sir above them, in a hurry to get at
their prey. The other soldiers did not
desert the men whose strength gave
out, but lay down on the ground and
with their pistols kept the vultures
away from their comrades until the
latter were picked up and carried out
CT the way.
"The newspaper men in and about
Santiago covered themselves with
glory. They helped wounded soldiers,
carried them to the hospitals, and
when the soldiers were unable to leave
their place in lire they brought food
and provisions to them. They were
constantly in danger, but did not mind
it, and were always ready and willing
to DO anything they were asked to
co."

INSUFFICIENT FOOD.
Soldiers Fail by the Wayside in Scores
During Ten-Miie March


During y Ten-Miie March
CHARLESTON, s. c., July 1s.-The
three regiments camped here were or
dered out to-day for a. ten-mile tramp in
heavy marching order. The day was an
excessively hot one and the men suffered
greatly. Before half of the journey was
accomplished the ranks had been deci-
mated by men falling from exhaustion.
Before they returned to camp some COM
panies lost half their men. Some of the
men are seriously sick as a consequence
of the march. Nineteen of them are in
the city hospital and several of these are
thought to be in critical condition. The
trouble seems to be that the men have
been kept on travelling rations for over a
week. Before starting on their trip they
had breakfast consisting of bareback,
coffee and canned tomatoes. There was
not sufficient food to sustain them
through the task set for them.
