Washington. Sept. lG.--The following
vote OF. thanks to those who have con-
tributed to the relief of our sick In
Cuba has been received by one of tn,
field correspondents of the Associated
Press. in a letter just arrived from San
tiago
United States Yellow Fever Hospital,
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 20.
In behalf OF the sick who have been
and are now In this hospital, wish TO
thank the noble men. women, boys and
girls of the United States, who have
contributed to the relief of our poor
sick in Cuba. IL those who have aided
in this good work could see only one
of the beams of delight from the eyes
of the convalescent or the pleasure
from the plain furrowed brow OF the
sick when something is given with the
words: Take this, II will do you good,
or Use this, il was sent from home"
il would repay the givers ahundred-fold
for all their trouble and expense. Only
heavens recording angel, with,a pen
divinely inspired, could picture the
want the suffering and sickness of our
soldiers on this island. Our sick in this
hospital, when they have received the
much needed delicacies sent from
America. have never failed TO cheer up
facts OF the gift. and seldom do they
fail to say. with sparkling eyes: GOD
bless the dear people at home"
(Signedl ORLANDO QUICKER,
Surgeon in Charge.
The hospital in question has been es-
tablished on an island in Santiago har-
bor about two miles from the city. The
letter quoted states that conditions
have greatly improved during August
but there is still need of delicacies such
as can only be had through the kindly
contributions from the states.
Yellow fever has been less a scourge
than had been expected, the death
rate being held down to 12 per cent.
but typhoid has proved deadly. chiefly
owing to the impossibility OF nourish-
ments so necessary in the treatment
of the disease.
