"THEO. ROOSEVELT,
First Brigade"


After Colonel Roosevelt had taken
the initiative, all the American general
officers united a round robin address
TO General Shafter. 1t reads:
we. the undersigned officers, COM
handing the various brigades divis-
ions, etc, of the army of occupation in
Cuba. are of the unanimous opinion
that this army should be at once taken
out of the island of Cuba and sent
20 some point on the northern SeacOast
of the United States; that it can be
done without danger to the people of
the United States: that yellow fever
in the army at present is not epidem-
&c; that there are only a few sporadic
cases; but that the army is disabled
by malarial fever to the extent that its
efficiency is destroyed, and that it is
in a condition to be practically de-
strOyed by an epidemic of yellow fever
which is sure to come in the near fu-
ture.
w know from the reports of COM
petent officers and from personal OBJ
SerVatlOnS that the army is unable to
move into the interior and hat there
are no Facilities for Such a move if at
tempted, and that it could not be at
tempted till too late. Moreover, the
best medical authorities of the island
say hat with our present equipment
We could not live in the interior dur
malariel fever which is almost as dead
Iy as yellow fever.

Lumber Burned.

About 6 o'clock last Monday evening
fire was discovered between two ium-
Der piles III the yard of the West Su
prrior Lumber company, 10y some OF the
mill hands. Efforts were made to put
1t out by throwing snow upon it, but to
no purpose, and the Sixth street fire
department was notified. As the fire
was at the north end o! the dock it was
not easy to get at. 1t took about $500
feet OF hose to reach it, and only one
engine could be used Three streams
were brought to bear on the burning
lumber, Dnt it was not until > o'clock in
the morning that the fire was ex1in-
gulshed About half million feet of
lumber were consumed. Luckily the
wif!d was blowing in favorable direc-
ton, or the loss W, uld have been much
