splendid Hotel Roanoke was destroyed.

Of the hotel. completely running it.
Two thousand willing men were coon
on the scene and SET to work to save
the furniture and fixtures. practically
all Of which were saved, but much
damaged. The damage done is esti-
mated at 100000. The building and

the Virginia Company and was one Of
the finest in the State. It was under
the management Of S. K. Campbell.

sired to go away. Mr.. Chew was an

Hot Weather.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday last
were the hottest days Of the present
year. Indeed, we do not know that
the weather has ever been warmer in
Shspherdstown. The thermometer got
up as high as 1o2 in the shade, and
hung around 100 for hours at a stretch.
Fortunately the air was very dry, the
absence of humidity causing the suf-
fering to be much less than it would
otherwise have been. Sunday was the
hottest day of the three. The heat
was prevalent throughout the country
generally. The thunder showers of
Monday madea break in the hot spell.

The heat is terrific in Cuba now,
and the American soldiers in the
neighborhood of Santiago have suffered
intensely. 1t rains every day in tor
rents, and the men are drenched. At
night it suddenly gets cool and this
adds to the discomfort. Little sick
ness is said to exist among the men,
but it is probably not reported truth
fully. Most of the generals have been
i'll, and it is quite likely that many of
the men are sick too.

DEAR FATHER--I write you this letter
but do not know when | will get TO mail
il as it has been two days since | saw
land, and expect it will be a few more
before we do. | am now on board the
"Olivette," No II, hospital ship, the
same one that carried General Fitzhugh
Lee from Havana. There are thirty of
us boys that left Washington on this
ship under Major Appel and Lieutenants
Howard and Smith, also thirty newspa-
per reporters. As long as we kept in the
Gulf of Mexico was all right, but when
we struck the Atlantic ocean ! was at
the rail regretting ate any supper. Sea
sick ? Well, guess When those large
waves struck the ship | forgot was on
it, but rather thought was on a merry
go-round. Am glad to say that feel all
right this morning.
We are on the fastest ship in the crowd.
1t certainly is sight to see the forty
two large transports, all in line, sailing
for Cuba. Ours can make 81 knots an
hour, but the transports can only make
0. so we have to keep along with them.
We received twelve patients this morn
ing from the transports. Last night the
waves were very high, washed the deck
all night. have seen all sorts OF fish,
such as the jellyfish, fyingfsh and por-
poises.
This ship has plenty of ice, but the
transports sell ice water at 40 cents
glass. We have to sail in darkness every
night, not a light on board, as we are in
the enemy's country.
Speaking of strawberry preserves, |
would give a large price for some OF moth
ers now, as our rations are for break
fast bareback, cOrned beef and beans {:
for dinner beans, corned beef and hard
tack. remain as ever your son,

Secretary Long has decided to assign
Commodore Howell to command the
newly organized patrol feet, consisting
OF the Yosemite. Prairie, Yankee and
Dixie. Secretary Long was very anx-
ions to avail himself OF the experience
Of Commodore Howell, but found some
difficulty In doing so, in view OF the
fact that he outranks both Schley and
Sampson. In command Of the two fleets.
Neither OF these officers could in Justice
have been relieved to make room for
the former commander OF the European
squadron.
