SICK MEN MADE WELL.
Arrival of Paymaster a Panacea for
Kansas CoIored Soldiers.

Kansas City, Kan, Oct. 13.-One of
the most interesting letters from the
negro volunteers now in Cuba has been
received by Frank NJ. Tracy, -Republi-
can candidate for coroner in Wyandotte
county. The letter was written by r.
E. Bullet, formerly a detective on the
Kansas City, Kan, police force. Ac-
cording to Bullets communication, the
negro volunteers from Kansas are all
enjoying good health with the exception
of about a dozen, who have been slow
to become accHmated.
Bullet states that a few days ago
it was announced that the fever had
broken out among the cOlored troops.
This, he says. caused CONSERVATION
among the volunteers and many were
wishing that they were back to the
state of sunf1Owers and big crops. When
the colored troopers were feeling ex-
tremely sad a message was received
announcing the arrival of the pay
master.
7 never saw such a change in a lot
of men in my life" said Bullet, who Is
sergeant of one of the companies.
There was not a man in the regiment
who thought of yellow jack The
change from a state of sadness to an
epidemic of happiness and rejoicing
was like magic. After the men received
their pay, it being the first they have
gotten since arriving on Cuban SOIL
they were the prOudest lot OF Fellows
seen in many moons
Bullet says in his letter that Cover
nor Leedy will be greatly disappointed
when the votes from the Kansas volun-
teers in Cuba are counted. He states
that the majority of the boys do not
consider that he has done anything
more than was his duty and that they
ali realize that he called out colored
volunteers for political effect only
Private Gaddy, of Company q, VINO
was a Wyandotte county man, died
a bo1t a month ago. It was the first
death to occur among the colored vol
unteers from Wyandotte county.

He also encloses a letter sent to a
number of officers of the corps in
charge of submarine mine defences as
early as the 2Sth of March, asking them
to organize volunteer corps for the op-
Grafton of the mines. These organiza-
tions were to consist of about 120 men
each and were to consist of electricians,
machinists and telegraph and telephone
experts who were to agree to give their
services free of charge. These officers
were also requested at that date to find
just where they could put their hands
on material for equipping and working

THEY WANT TO GO HOME.
Many Soldiers Ask to Be Mustered
Out

Washington, Oct. 13.-The war de-
partment is constantly in receipt of re-
quests from soldiers asking to be mus
tered out, stating that the war has
closed and they wish to go home. This
is the excuse made by nearly all those
now seeking discharge. The war de
partment officials say that the war will
not be over until the treaty Of peace is
ratified by the United States senate and
that the soldiers may be needed for
further duty. No discharges will be
granted except for sickness and dis
ability and the requests in these cases
must be approved by the colonies and
higher commanding officers.
