FOR POLICING SANTIAGO.
Hurrying Forward the Immune ReEi-
ments Wanted for Shafter.


The War Department this morning was
doing its best to hurry forward the i'm
mune regiments which Gen. Shafter has
SO urgently requested, and it is hoped that
they will be sent off within twenty-four
hours. They are wanted by Gen. Shafter
to serve as military rickets for the city of
Santiago proper thus oLviating the neces
sity of retaining within the zone of infec-
ton any of the men who now constitute
Skaters army,
The situation at Guantanamo among the
Spanish troops there surrendered is cal
cElated in some measure to disturb the de-
partment's plans for the shipment of these
soldiers back to Spain. The department is
under obligations not to place aboard the
steamships that are to be used for the con-
venience of the troops any soldiers having
yellow fever. So 1t will probably be neces >
s&ry to place the surrendered camp under
very rigid sanitary rules and to sift OUT
very carefully all persons showing the
faintest symptoms of disease. When the
others have been Isolated for sufficient
period of time to make sure that they have
not contracted the fever, they will be ready
to go aboard ship, but it can be readily
seen that the adoption of these precautions
involves considerable delay in the return
or the Spanish troops to Spain, and it is
dcubtful II this move can be initiated with
in a month. This delay is unfortunate in
view Of the possibility of trouble ensuing
from the presence Of the two armies, as
well as the Cubans at Santiago, but as the
Spanish officers have been or will be pa
rolled, 1t is presumed that they will use
their influence among the enlisted men to
prevent any friction.
Secretary Alger has cabed to Gen. Shat
ter directing him to carse to be prepared
at the earliest possible moment complete
Est of the American soldiers suffering from
yellow fever, as we'll as the names of those
who have lost their lives from that disease
This information will be telegraphed TO the
War Department.. and will, 1t is expected
serve to allay the apprehensions OF the
relatives and friends of our soldiers.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
/ cannot forbear a personal acknowledge
ment Of the service rendered to me and
mine by your cablegram from Santiago
yesterday in relation to the health of the
District troops. 1t was a noticeable piece
of journalistic enterprise, and as thought
full and kind as 1t was enterprising, but
this is so characteristic of The Star that
might ordinarily have taken it as matter
OF course. In the present case, however, 1t
commands depth and warmth. of appre-
citation far beyond my power to express.
My youngest son is one of the District
boys, and have not had line from him
since he left Key West To receive dis
patch, therefore, right from the regiment,
so directtaud explicit in it's terms as to the
condition of every member Of the regiment,
was next to letter from my loved ono
himself.
1 cannot tell you what sense of relief
1t gave, nor express 1.-THE of the pleasure
II brought to our anxious household.

CONDITION OF NAvl,s WOUNDED
Not a Case of Infectious Fever to BE
Found.

Found.
Surgeon General Van Keypen of the navy
is back from a visit to the wounded
brought up from Santiago by the hospital
ship Solace. These embrace all of our men
wounded at the battle with Admiral Ger
vera squadron, twenty-five in number, as
well as twenty-five sick sailors from Samp-
sons fleet The fact that only twenty-five
men were wounded in this notable engage
ment Is regarded as one of the most re-
markabae circumstances connected with
that event. DR.. Van Reypen found that all
but two Of the men were moving about,
and these two more seriously, injured are
on the way to recovery. The wounds are
from bursting shells, and in a few cases
from bullets. The twentystwo include some
marines. so that the actual number of
those wounded In the sea- fight, Is even less.
There Is not case Of fever of any kind
among the sick or wounded brought up
from the fleet Fso M
DR.. Van Reypen says this, satisfactory
health condition exists at all naval points.
AT Caimanera, where the marines are
camped, there is not the slightest symptom
of fever At Portsmouth, N. H., where the
Spanish sailors are CHARTERED there is no
fever OF serious character, It. being inter-
mittent and free from Infection. In gen.
eral. Dr. Van Reypen regards the health
conditions of the naval branch Of the SER
vice as exceptionally satisfactory, not a
single case Of infectious fever existing any,

A Strange Use for Bibles,

packed in little books made up of the I'M
round pages of Holy Writ cut to the re-
quisite size for the purpose, and stitched
together. On inquiry, learn that the prac-
tice of packing the material in this way is
well-estab lished one, and that the Bible
is selected for this purpose because, as a
rule, the type is more evenly set, and the
printing generally finer and better exc
cuted. On the other hand, / hear from
other sources that theSuse of the Bible is
looked upon as sort of guarantee that
the leaf is of the best possible quality. 1t
appears that the book of common prayer is
also employed for the same purpose. Gold
leaf books are made UP and supplied to
the trade by an enterprising firm In Bir-
bingham An enterprising gentleman in
LONDON also supplied them. 1t is evident
that the books are made up from the sheets
in which they leave the press. and before
they are folded,
