first weeks of their stay, the Maine troops
were the crackajacks of the entire ell
campment. They drilled like regulars
and their soldierly Eearing made them
the center of all eyes. Later when sick
ness had made it's appearance the time
came when there we're not we'll men
enough to drill 1t was then that the men
spent their time wandering listlessly from
tent to tent, looking at their sick COM
panions and often going back to their
own quarters to lie down and swell the
ranks of the sufferers. AS to the .hospi-
tails, Lieutenant Phi1brook said that the
lack of a sufficient force Of surgeons and
nurses was, in his opinion, the worst
trouble. 1t was necessary to detail men
from the ranks to act as nurses and these
men could not stand it, the scenes and
surroundings of the hospital in their en-
feebled state soon making them subjects
for nursing. Lieutenant Philbrook spoke
in terms of highest praise of the labors
of Surgeon O'Neil. Night and day the
doctor was ready to answer any and all
calls and he did wonders with the means
at his command.

The transport Roumanain will leave fol
Montauk Point tomorrow morning with
$50 sick men of the list New York, sec
ond and ninth Mass, the second regu
lars, the 10th cavalry and the 10Th ano
21st regiments. The condition OF the
men is extremely bad, the disappoihe
ment over the delays in getting then
away having greatly affected the''
spirits. Ambulances were found to Dc
necessary to convey most of them tohe
steamer.
The transports San Francisco, Sar
Augustine and Leonora will leave to-
morrow for Guantanamo, Baracoa ano
Sagua for the Spanish prisoners there.
The condition of these men is distress
ing and it is probable that death will
claim nearly half of them before they
reach Spain.

Upon the arrival of Spanish major
recently. it was discovered by accident
that he had several trunks filled with
silver jewelry, valuable articles and
money, evidently the result of looting
the houses of residents, during the con-
fusion attendant upon FL Caney exodus;
Large amounts of money were carried
away by Spanish officers. At one house
where eight Spanish officers were living,
there was received large trunk which
contained two bushels of silver and gold
which represented about $40. 600.
The soldiers have only received small
sum from our government for tobacco
and other small necessities. Otherwise
the condition of the Spaniards Ia watched.
They are sick and penniless and distrust
the reception they will meet on their re-
turn to Spain.

came the news that the regiment was to
be sent to Porto Rico and it worked a
wonderful change. The men frightened
work went up by leaps and bounds, only
tn be overcome again by the news that
the command was to stay IN the camp.
After that there was nothing to break
the monotony until the orders came for
home. Lieutenant Philbrook spoke of the
canteen and said that in his opinion it
did the troops far more good than harm.
The beer. and other drinks they procured
there were better for them than the stag
nant water. It was noticeable that the
sickness in the regiment greatly increased
from the time that the canteen was abol-
ished but that, Of course, might have
been only coincidence. The food was OF
such nature that the men often could
not eat their rations This was especially
the case in reference to the canned meats,
which spoiled as soon as the cans were
opened. The Maine troops made many
friends in the camp. They found good
companions in the men of a Nebraska
regiment Lieutenant Philbrook was one
of the officers who rescued Private Ruby
from the hands Of the Kentuckians dur.
ing the first week of camp life. When
Lieutenant Philbrook reached the place,
Ruby was standing with rope about his
neck and pistols were in evidence on all
sides. The lieutenant said that in that
much described affair, Ruby was not tc
blame. 1t was soon over but looked pretty
serious for few minutes.
In concluding his interesting talk,
Lieutenant Philbrook told of the march
from the camp at Chickamauga to the
railroad, fourteen miles away. Nothing
could more strikingly illustrate the
effect of the life they had lead during
the past three months on these men who
were the flower of the young manhood
Of their state when they left it, than this
account of that march under the fierce
rays of the southern sun. The regimen
started in good order, the men, oheered
by the thoughts of home, bearing up
bravely under their heavy equipments
and paraphernalia, but soon the strain
proved too much for weakened bodies and
shaken nerves and long before the rail
road was reached the column was moving
