The Need of Wooden Houses M .
SubstItute for Tents-Dimculties
In the Way of Their COnstruc-
tiOn-Terrors of a March Over the
Mountains.

Ponce. Porto Rico, Aug. Sl.-Prompt ac-
ton by the Government is necessary to
prevent fearful inroad of fevers and
other ailments upon the army Of over ls-
900 Americans now here.
At present the men are quartered In
tents. They need houses with board floors
to live in. Tents are mean refuge
against the frequent deluges of rain that
they have to contend with.
More than 1000 men are now sick-some
of them very ill-and the list is being
daily enlarged. The men should be called
home until the proper sort of barracks
can be constructed for their shelter. Just
now this seems impossible. There is
plenty of wood in the forests-any guam
tity of it-but there are no sawmills. The
trees. so far as affording the means of
| building houses just now is concerned,
might as well be in Kamchatka.
Brigadier Gen. Henry's division, which
is permanently encamped at Utuado,
forty miles north. and in the very heart
of the mountains. is in the most perilous
position from a health point of view.
The rains there are fearful in quantity
and frequency, and the hot sun burns in
its intensity. There are no comforts to
be had even for money. ice, for one thing.
being unknown. native there would
! not know what to do with piece of ice,
| since he has never seen any of it.
A wagon, no matter how light, cannot
| cross the mountains from the south
! coast, the north coast is in the possession
of the Spanish, and the road to Arecibo.
/ the next town to the north. is poor. The
division consists of the Sixth Massachus-
etts, the Sixth Illinois. four companies of
the Nineteenth Regular Infantry, and n
detachment of regular cavalry. 1t is
probable that the soldiers. II they were re-
called to Ponce, would end the terrible
march over the mountains completely ex-
hausted, and would be food for the many
diseases prevailing there.
While there are more than a dozen
hospitals in Ponce. some of them very
! good ones, there is need for more. Field
hospitals are in great demand. So far as
| the troops in the city are concerned their
| position is not desperate, but more hos
pitals must be constructed and that with
out delay.

The proverb about Mahomet and the
mountain-"if the mountain won't come
to Mahomet, Mahomet must go to the
mountain"-is exemplified in the pleasures
of car riding during the hot spell and
paraphrased to read that IL the breeze
won't come to people they must go to the
breeze. The quickest and surest way to
collide with a few waves of cool atmos-
phere is to seat ones self In swift-mov-
ing motor train and the most defgntfui
of these rides is afforded on the Washihs-
ton and Great Falls Line. The speed
maintained there Is the highest possible
with a view to safety, and the absolute
comfort of the coaches and the beauties
of the Journey are of a nature to make
the wanderer forget that in town Old Sol
is beaming down on everything and that
the mercury is leaving competition behind
in its race upward. There are many pic
turesaue sights and sounds on the trip
and. outside of its refrigeratfng qualities.
there are few suburban ones to compare
with it. The scenery along the line is
unsurpassed and altogether the whole ex-
cursion Is of a nature to please the least
appreciative.
