triotic airs while the troops triumphantly
uttered cheer after cheer when .'OId
Glory" was raised where the red and vel
low flag of Spain had foated over the
government building in the city of San
tiago.
On July 10 the regiment marched up
| San Juan Heights, where a permanent
camp was established. They remained
| there until they sailed for this country
on August 10. During the voyage the
transports encountered strong head
| winds and a heavy sea. Many of the
| District volunteers became violently sea
| sick.
They arrived at Montauk Point, Long
| Island, on August 26, weak from hunger,
their diet on the voyage having been
| confined to hardtack and a very inferior
| quality of canned corned beef. The regi-
| ment disembarked from the transports
| at Montauk Point on August 27, the day
| after their arrival, and the men were at
| once quarantined They remained in the
| detention camp until August 29 On Au-
| gust 80 the regiment was released from
| quarantine and pitched their tents in
| Camp Wikoff
An INQUIRY developed the fact that many
| of the men who were semitic the hospital
| at Camp Wikoff owed their illness to
| lack of proper food, exposure to the Sc

On Sunday. August 2S, committee,
headed by Major Bell. and composed of
members of the general reception commit

and made arrangements to provide the

SUGAR AND THE WAR TAX.
Decision ms TO Thosc Who Manufac-
turc from Cane or Beets

- VIM 'Hht UT
WASHINGTON. August 4.-The Com
missioner OF Internal Revenue to-day rem
dered a decision In which he holds in
eject that persons engaged In manufac-
turing sugar from cane or beets. and VINO
do not buy and refine sugars. are not sub
tect to the tax imposed by the new war
revenue act.
The contention Of the Commissioner is
that the law applies only to persons en-
gagged in refining raw sugars, as distn-
guished from those who produce the raw
or unreflned sugars from cane or beets.
Under this ruling practically all Of the
beet-sugar mills OF the West and the
cane-mills Of the South are exempt from
the tax. the proprietors Of which are held
not to be relners within the meaning OF
the law. OF this latter class there are
said to be over 700 in the State Of Louisi-
ana alone.
The decision was rendered upon the
application Of the Oxnard Beet-Sugar
Company. who asked for a ruling upon
this point
