MEN IN BAD CONDITION.

Santiago de Cuba. Aug. 29.-The Rou-
manian left for Montauk Point this
morning with $50 sick men of the
seventy-first New York, Second and
Ninth Massachusetts,, the Second regu-
lars, the Tenth cavalry and the Sixteenth
and Twenty-f1rst regiments. The con-
dtion OF the men Is extremely bad. the
disappointment over the delays I'm get
ting them away having greatly affected
their spirits. Ambulances were found to
be necessary to convey most OF them
TO the steamer.
Three transports went to Guantana-
mo, Baracoa and Sagua for the Spanish
prisoners there. The.condition OF these
men is distressing. and II is probable
that death will claim nearly half OF
them before they reach Spain. Their
condition is the result of hard living
and the prevailing fever. The rations
and medical aid sent from Santiago
were practically too late.
Upon the arrival of Spanish major
recently IL was discovered by accident
that he had several trunks filled with
silver jewelry, valuable articles and
money, evidently the result of looting
the houses of residents during the confu-
sion attendant upon the El Caney ex-
odus. Large amounts Of money were
carried away by Spanish officers. At
one house where eight Spanish officers
were living there was received large
trunk which contained two bushels Of
silver and gold. which represented about
$4,000 Ths soldiers have only received
a small sum from our government for
tobacco and other small necessities.
