the health officer The Olivette will remain
at anchor until tomorrow morning, when
she will proceed to Brooklyn, where the

Shortly after the Olivette dropped anchor
the Staten island ferryboat Westfield went
alongside and took off about one hundred of
those most seriously sick and wounded,
landing them at Stapleton, where ambu-
lances removed them to the United States
Marine Hospital The main and hurricane
decks of the Olivette presented a most ami
mated appearance when the health officers
boat went alongside. All were elated to
learn of the surrender of the Spanish army
at Santiago Many of the men said that
they were sorry that they were not able
to be present at the surrender. Surgeon
| "A Of the O1iVoffa stated that he
more than pleased with the condition of
the men under his care. They had improved
wonderfully since leaving Santiago.
Many kilograms were put on board and
large bundles of papers were distributed.
The boys were anxious for news about the
| surrender of Santiago. The pilot on board
| ing the Olivette had said there was hitch
| in the negotiations. One of the men said:
eff we had been allowed our way we would
| have gone plumb into Santiago. There was
no evidence on board of contagious disease.
DR.. Apple said that the improvements made
| in modern surgery were the means of saw
| ing the lives of fully one hundred men of
the 271 on board. The fine physique of the

cry. Edward Marshall, the reporter who
| was shot in the spine, was improving, and

as could be expected.
