AS TO THE ROUND-ROBIN

Washington, D. c., Aug. Seen eral
Shafter has telegraphed the president re-
Rarding the publication of the round-robin
signed by general officers of his com
mand. as follows:
Il can readily see what intense excite
ment the publication must have occa-
stoned; great deal more than the situa-
ton warranted. The situa ton is greatly
aggravated from the fact that before any
of the men were taken i'll they were thor
oughly exhausted. At least Is per cent of
the command had been down with mala-
rial fever; they recover very slowly, and
are in no condition to stand an attack of
yellow fever or dysentery. Placed here
now in the condition in which they were
when they came here, I do not believe
they would be in any particular danger
The regiment Of immunes that recently
arrived is not suffering at all and I do
not believe they will. They can keep out
of the sun, are well clothed and well fed
What put my command in its present con-
dillon was the twenty days of the cam
paign when they had nothing but meat,
bread and coffee. without change of
clothes. without any shelter whatever
and during the period twice as stormy as
1t has been since the surrender. Fresh
troops reaching here in the middle OF
August with good camps, good water.
abundance of tentage-which they will find
here-need not apprehend serious danger.
Il thank you for the high regard in
which you hold my command and the
value of the service they have rendered.
IT pays for all the suffering We have en-
dured.
81 have read this to Generals Whesler.
l'awton, Bales and Kent, who concur With
me in the view expressed above
This evening General Shafter suple-
mented his first dispatch with d second
on the same subject, as follows:
Santiago, August S-Adjuiant General
of the Army. Westinghouse connection
with my telegram Of the 50 instant. and
the letter of the general officers to me of
same date, I have the honor 10 say that
since then 1 have talked with the division
commanders. and they join me in saying
that the first report was made so strong
because Of the weakened and exhausted
condition Of the command. more than
