OVER A DOZEN REMAIN IN THE
ISLANDS.
Sick at the Hospital and Elsewhere
Some are Accidentally Left-Two
are Penniless.

There were six men left uninten-
tionally by the transports on Satul-
day in this city, as well as those regu-
larly discharged. One was second
lieutenant. He came ashore under or
ders and his vessel pulled out before
he could return to her. Securing pas
sage in the Belgic he left Sunday
morning for Hongkong.
A hospital sergeant, or steward, and
two of his assistants, from the Penn
sylvania regiment, were left in much
the same way. They had shore liber-
ty until the afternoon, and when they
started back found that their vessel
had sailed. One of them secured pas
sage by the Belgic. The sergeant and
his assistant, while men of means at
home, are stranded here. What mon
ey they have along is on the trans
port. They are quartered at the
American house on King street.
DIR. G. Waldo Burgess, 31S King
street, is caring for two sick Boys in
Blue, who expect to return home by
the Rio de Janeiro, sailing tomorrow.
One is Bert Fannon of Denver, a mem
Der of the hospital corps of the First
Colorado. Herman Howard is a pri-
vate of Company II, First Colorado.
and is from Boulder. Both men are
suffering from pulmonary troubles,
contracted in San Francisco.
At the Queens Hospital is Paul 4.
Miller of San Antonio. Texas, private
of Company ID, Twenty-third infantry,
regulars. He also contracted a severe
cold in San Francisco, and is in dan
ger of serious heart trouble. Miller is
over 6 feet tall, and is every inch a
| soldier. He will return home by the
Rio.
There are five men registered at the
headquarters of the Red Cross socie-
| ~. Three of them are convalescent.
and are now being cared for by Thonr-
as G.. Thrum and family. Mrs. w. w.
| Hall, Mrs. S. NJ. Damon. Mrs. DR.. +. Il.
Day, Mrs. Thrum, Miss Charlotte Hall.
Miss Thrum, DR.. Day, DR.. Wood and
many others have been untirng in
their efforts for the comfort of the
men at the Red Cross hospital.
The sickest man in the Red Cross
hospital is Charles Craig, a private of
the Nebraska regiment He suffered
with pneumonia from San Francisco,
and was taken to the hospital as soon
as he arrived here. On Saturday the
measles developed. which was PROB
ably his real trouble from the begin
ming. Craig hopes to be able to sail
by the Rio tomorrow for home.
Sergeant Stafford, Company f, Ne
braska Volunteers, has rheumatism
contracted in San Francisco. He is
a prominent business man at home
is a refined gentleman and an inter
esting companion. In all probability
he will be able to sail tomorrow for
home.
The three men at Mr.. Thrum's, who
are now practically well, are: Corpo-
raj c. A. Sheeley, Company L.; w. /.
Malone, Company l.; Charles C. But
Ter, Company c.; all of Nebraska. They
will leave by tomorrow's steamer for
home.
There is one regular from the Twen-
ty-third infantry in town, who has
not yet been located. He is sick and
is supposed to be in hiding. His dis
charge was made out for his return
passage, but in the meantime he had
skipped over the rail and landed III
town. He will be sent home upon ap.
plication to the consulate.
Two other men were left and are
somewhere in town. 1t is said that
they were drinking when the trans
ports sailed. They will wait here fol
the next expedition.
All of the men now here ap
pear to be refined and of good fami
lies. They have won the sympathy OF
every one and are faring as well a.
could be desired. 1t is feared tha,
the second lieutenant. who was left
and departed by the Belgic. will NEE
trouble in Manila. He will probably
be reduced to the ranks and otherwis,
punished.
