other officers demanded that we he

we're making big money out of it held

made and they were great ones. FL
nally General Anderson said that un-
less the men got something to cat, he
would order an Investigation and
make it hot for two or three officers
who had no honesty, patriotism, or
even humanity. lie also said that it
was one Of the greatest blOts that had
ever been placed on the American flag.
Things improved with a jump then.
When we reached The LadrOnes, and
the governor had surrendered, the
Spanish soldiers were scared half to
death as they expected to be killed,
but the native soldiers were very glad
TO be free from their servitude. The
natives were all glad of the change
for they have been treated as slaves
and enormously taxed.
Several cases of measles haye gone
