pRrvArE HuNT TALKs.

Another member of the Sixth Ohio in
the city yesterday was Private Ernest
Hunt, OF Medina, o.. a member of Com
pany C. Private Hunt is going to his
home on a thirtV-days' sick furIough,
dating from last Thursday. but his fur
Tough is likely to be permanent, in view
of recent intlmatlons regarding the vol
unteers coming from the government.
Private Hunt was at Santiago from
July 10 to Agust 10. He was not in bat
tie, having arrived too late. but he was
on the ground in time TO see the Span
lsh surrender. He has no liking for the
Cuban climate. and little more for the
Cuban insurgents, whom he says are for
the most part too ignorant to appreciate
the service rendered by Americans. The
Spanish soldiers were more kindly In
their demonstrations. after peace was
declared, and the soldiers returning to
Spain on the transports waved their
handkerchiefs in adieu to the American
soldier boys.
It was not until after he got on the
transport, Mohawk. bound for Montauk
Point, that Private Hunt became Ill.
and then 1t was only on the last two
days OF the trip. He became III OF ma
larial fever, and charges It to the lack
OF food for the troops. and what food
was provided. he says. was OF poor
character. He was sent to the hospital
AZ Camp wikoff for a week, and was
released last Thursday. Hunt, TO all
appearances. ought 20 be under doc
tors care for some time to come.
FIc Ia thin and sallow, and hnrdiF
weighs 100 pounds. He tipped the beam
at 14S pounds when he went to the
front. His eyes have become affected,
also. Mr.. Hunt leaves this morning
over the c., l.. & W. for Medina, a
deceased member OF his company. Prl-
vate Otis Thompson, was taken to Me-
dina on Saturday.

FLYING SQUADRON.
The New Orleans Joins Commodore
Schley's Fleet.

ON BOARD THE FLAGSHIP
BROOKLYN, OFF FORT MONROE
Va). May 9.-Commodore Schley and
his staff watched with great interest
this morning from the bridge of the
flagship the arrival of the new cruiser
New Orleans. She came up Hampton
Roads at a pretty lively gait, and about
/ o'clock anchored about three miles
distant from the squadron. The New
Orleans is in command of Captain Fol
ger, and when she droppen anchor heSe
and saluted the Commodore's flag be-
came one of the flying squadron.
Commodore Schley and officers of the
the fleet express admiration at the gen
eral appearance of the new cruiser. She
is evidently better fitted than the de-
tached Columbia. although not SO fast.
Commodore Schley decided not to have
her go up to Newport News for either
coal or painting, and she will remain
at anchor here, getting her coal from
lighters.
The MINNEAPOLIS will come down this
afternoon fully coaled, and the squad
ron will then consist of three cruisers,
two battleshios and converted yacht.
The formidable dynamite cruiser, the
Vesuvius, got away finally this morning
for Key West, accompanied by the Su-
vance Both boats will join the block
aiding squadron in the vicinity of Cuba.

This was the only incident of the day,
which was largely devoted to the cir

The story fourishing at that hour

YELLOW FEVER STORIES.
Reports Of Gases Aboard the Argo-
nauta Exaggerated.

TAMPA. May 9.-Dr J. Porter, State
Health officer, to-day received report
from DR.. Sweeting, agent of the State
Board of Health at Key West, concern
ing the alleged cases of yellow fever
among the members of the prize crew
of the Spanish ship Argonauta
According to DR.. Sweeting's report.
only two of the crew are sick with a
slight fever. None of them had been
near an infected port, but the craft
and all on board We're placed at once
in the quarantine station, ten miles
from Key West where five other prize
vessels are stationed, all from infected
ports
The fact that sailors were taken sick
within twenty-four hours of the time
of boarding the Argonauta leads DR..
Porter to doubt that they have yellow
fever. Not the slightest apprehension
is felt of the disease spreading, should
it prove to be the dreaded yellow fe-
yer.

get out of it. That shows what a cow

IF Fitzsimmons will put up some
money I will be in New York inside of
two weeks to make the match. I'll go
anyway. AS soon as I leave here next
Sunday 1 will go right on to New York

Movement of the Army.

NEW YORK, May 9.-The military
movement to end the war with Spain
by a prompt and decisive campaign in
Cuba is in full swing throughout the
country, orders having been issued
from the War Department with a rap
idity similar to the continuous rattle of
an automatic machine gun, says the

raphers sent hundreds of messages in
cipher and hundreds of others in ordi-
nary language to commanding Gen

Quartermasters and Commissaries, 70
State Governors and mastering officers,
and to all the units in the vast mechan-
ism which is relied upon to unite in a
crushing blow to SPANS authority in
