A CRITICAL TIMEi
During the Battle at San-
 tiago.
Sick or We'll, Rush Night and Da,

Sick or We'll, a Rush Night and Day. The Packers at the Battle Of Santiago
 de Cuba were all Heroes. Their He-
 reic Efforts in Getting Ammunition
 and RatioRs to the Front Saved the
 Day.
 P. E. Butler, of pack.train No. 3,vrit. ing from Santiago de Cuba. on July 23d, says: "We all had diarrbeA in more or less violent form, and when we landed we had no time to see a doctor, for 1t was case of rush and rush night and day to keep the troops supplied with ammunition and rations, but thanks to smberlsin's Collie, Cholers and Disr- rhna Remedy, we were able to keep at work and keep our health; in fact, I sim cerely believe that at one critical time this medicine was the indirect saviour of our army, for if the packers had been unable to work there would have been no way of getting supplies to the front. There were no roads that . wagon train could use. My oomrade and myself had the good fortune to lay in a supply of this medicine for our pack-trsin be- fore we left Tampa, and I know in four cases it absolutely saved life"

Cuba, and leave her without any forcible
interference, il will be greater ruin than TO
have left the Spanish there. We owe to
Cuba to preserve order by force whether
il may be one, two or five years. until she
shall prove herself capable OF self govern
men:. I believe that to leave Cuba with
out an established government 10 hold her
