Camp.
= Death claimed another of the Fif-
teenth regiment soldiers early yester-
lay morning, when Private Peter A.
bynre died at Bethesda hospital from
typhoid fever. Byhre's demise in
screases the death list to four. Byhre
was twenty-eigh years of age. He en-
hsted at FoSSton, but at the hospital
gave his place of residence as Pelan,
hlttSon county, where his parents live.
he was regarded as dangerously i'll
when received at the hospital. In the
daytime he several times showed slight
Improvement, which led the physicians
to hope for his recovery, but each night
he grew worse, sinking gradually un-
til the end. The hospital authorities
yesterday communicated with the Off
GERS Of the regiment concerning the
disposition of the remains. The body
will probably be turned over to rela-
tives of the dead soldier.
All the fever patients at the city
hospital were yesterday reported to be
improving. The physicians say that
there is no longer danger of fatalities )
among the soldiers at this institution.
Private Vaught, Of Company F, is al
most strong enough to leave the hos
plldl, ana OlnerS are mucn advanced
toward convalescence.
At st. Lukes hospital there are still
number of very sick soldiers. Prl-
vate Moffat, of Company H, Is in a
precarious condition, but was yesterday
slightly improved. Others are not so
dangerously sick, and some have slow
ly improved to a point where the at
tendant physicians say their recovery
is assured. Private Wylde was yester-
n6 f. 1,iS ho6 a
short time, and is IN a way to be dis
charged as soon as he regains his
strength.
The soldiers at ST. Joseph's hospital
are getting along as well as could be
expected. There are no cases at this
hospital that are alarningly serious,
aud it is hoped that all Of the patients
will recover.
The twenty remaining sick soldiers
at Bethesda hospital are all regarded,
eliminating the possibility of a relapse,
as on the road to recovery, according to
the statement Of the attendant phySi-
clans.
Sick call yesterday at Camp Ram
sey was the lightest for any day since
the Fifteenth has assembled. Only
fifteen men responded. Among them
were scme three fever suspects. A

day sent home.
The camp was visited by hosts of
people yesterday, and most of them
came from st. Paul A large crowd
was gathered in Company B street all
day, but other companies had their
friends as WE'LL and they numbered
probably all together well UP into the
thousands. At 6:45, Lieut.. Col. Got
zian took the First battalion out for
[ parade on the ground to the west of
the camp. The companies included
were E, D, K and B. Company D be-
longs with the Third battalion, but
was put in place Of M, which mustered
Snly about two sets of fours, owing to
the number on leave of absence. Lieut..

edjutant of the First battalion.
4 The morals Of the boys were well
taken care of yesterday. Mass was
early celebrated at Fort Smelling, and
at 2:30 Chaplain Turner held service
/ in the Y. NJ. c. A. tent on the grounds.
4 The chaplain preached sermon, ad-
i vising the soldiers to be contented,
7 whatever might be their fate. He
pointed out that Cuba was not SO un-
desirable a place to be, after all, and,
If the regiment was ordered there, they
ought to be glad of the opportunity it
offered to see the world. In the even
ing. after retreat, the usual Y. M. c.
A. meeting was held, at which Capt.
Morrison preached.
