THE CORPORAL LIVED.

"And that corporal lived-pulled
through by clean grit; that's my opin-
ion"
Then "Auntie" told about coming
home on the transport. That was
bad" she said; that was bad. Sick
men packed everywhere so close you
could hardly bet about: dying men on
the upper deck, dying men on the low
er deck, and wherever I went I'd hear
pitiful cries: Nurse. can I see the doc
tor?' Nurse, can have some quinine? :?
Nurse I feel so bad; I've got such q
pain" I laughed and tried 10 cheer
them up, but my heart was most brok-
en- all the time.
There was one boy who died at sea
He wasn't over sixteen. He came from
Ohio. His first name was George;
didn't know any other name. There
were plenty like him and l used to tel
'em they ought a-been at school, and sc
they had. This boy George used tC
keep crying out, not loud, but Just
plaintive-like: oh, nurse; If my moth
er was only here!' guess he said thai
a hundred times. ! guess that was
about the last thing he did say. ASK
that girl what she thinks about Cuba
she was down at Siboney."
"Auntie' pointed to n thin, white
faced girl with close cropped hair, who
was sitting on a cot in the tent. She
was Miss Rosa Dickmann, Of New Or
leans, another immune" nurse, as
was thought, vet che had come down
with the fever herself at Siboney.
This she explained with a smile of
sadness and sweetness strangely
| blended.
ut was enough to make you die"
she said, lust to be at Siboney; IL was
like a valley Of death. There we were,
deep between two high hills, with the
booming Caribbean sea before US, and
an awful solitude all around. At night
there was a flashing of lanterns among
the tents as the doctors moved about,
and the moaning Of men: I'm dying,
I'm dying used to lie awake plan
ming how ] could escape: that was
when the fever was coming on.
"Just think of 1t! There was Moth
Ing to cheer one, only death and suf-
fertng all about you. There was moth
ing to read, no one 10 talk to. There
were no Sunday services, and orders
were given that no one should talk re-
ligion to the men. II you wanted re-
ligious help you must send for a chap
lain, and they were kept busy burylng
the dead. AND yet In all this misery
one OF the nurses managed 10 fall in
love with one OF the doctors-it's queer
how love goes on through everything
and she used to get me to read the
cards for her every morning; she
managed to get time for that, and IL
amused me. / found out afterwards
that the doctor was married man
from Philadelphia"

Yesterday was payday at the fort

and everybody was allowed TO 90 out.
The result was that about two hundred

became wild. The Steinman House ON
Mallory street, was the scene OF the first
skirmish. the regulars being under ana
the MARYLAND contingent bombarding IL
Bottles and other missiles were freely
thrown and many sore heads are tho re-
suit to-day.
From the Steinman House the crowd
went TO the saloon OF Julia Lancer at
the head Of Lellen street. and there the
bitter fight was carried on.
The county police force was powerless
TO stop the row, and the officer of tho
day at the fort was compelled to send
over a squad of forty men or more. TO
duell the riot which they soon did. and
many men OF both commands were plac-
ed under arrest and taken 10 the Guard
House.
A woman in the Steinman House was
injured by being struck with bottle and
many men OF company OF the Maryland
Regiment were bruised and cut badly
though no one was seriously hurt. IL
