Prompt Mails
STEAMER OLIvETTE, June IA, 1885,
Persons who have friends In the Fifth
army corps will be pleased to know that
arrangements have been made to have mails
forwarded very promptly to that command.
A special inspector of the postoffice depart
ment now on board this ship S my authori-
ty for stating to the readers of the National
Tribune that all mail for troops in Cuba
should be addressed (after name Of SOLDIER
| - Division, - Corps, Military Station
No. l, Cuba, New York, N. "" as Cuba is
| now really a sub-station of New York city.
Care should be taken to add the N. r., as
there is another Cuba, in Allegheny county,
New York state.
There has been much complaint over the
want of sufficient mail facilities at Tampa
a very provoking state of affairs, but one
| Wnlc1. cOuiQ not DE TeIueuleQ OundnO. ~
large amount of army mail which had accu-
mulated there has been sent to Port Tam
pa. and is to be brought on board this ship
today, and will be assorted and distributed
among the vessels soon as we land. If not
before.
/ am told that an officer of Michigan
regiment, accompanied by some of the
| enlisted men, was allowed access to the
! mail at Fort Tampa, and that they broke
4 open packages that had been made UP, and
4 after handling It all over failed to retie IL
and that, In consequence, the whole is ir
confusion. He should be called to accoun,
flor 1t, as should also the man who allowed
him access to 1t.
Our mess had some additions this morn
| ing. The surgeon general of the army OF
/ Norway and lieutenant Of cavalry from
i the same country came on board, as die
also an Inspector Of the postofice depart
ment and three ofiicers-two surgeons ani
zone sick lieutenant. Most of the CORE.
4 spondents left on board are very pleasant
/ fellows, the exceptions being some cockney
specimens, who would be disagreeable any.
