MARINES LEAVE GUANTANAMO.

Board the ResoIute for Duty Else
where In Cuba.
Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay, Aug
6.-The marine camp was broken up on
the afternoon of Aug. 5, and the marine
battalion was transferred to the auxiliary
cruiser Resolute for service in other parts
of Cuba.
As indicated in these dispatches, the
main body Of the fleet will remain here
ready for any kind of service, awaiting
orders from Washington. The idea rather
gains ground that the uavy's active part
in the war is nearly over
Rear Admiral Sampson, as he watched
the flames at Camp McCalla lighting the
hills, paid high econiums TO the marines
which were echoed by all the naval Off
GERS.
Admiral Sampson said: IT don't know
what we would have done without Guam
tanamo bay which is better as a harbor
and base than Santiago or any other place
in south Cuba. Nothing could have been
better thans the results accomplished by
the marines backed up by the ships and in
their next undertaking they VIII doubtless
do just as well.
The Frolic has arrived from Key West
Chief Master-at-Arns Gratis of the bat
tleship oregon yesterday committed suicide
by shooting.
The Scorpion has arrived from Cienfue-
gos. Lieut. Commander Mark confirms
the previous reports of starvation in that
section of the coast.
The blockading work is tedious. but is
effectively performed. The men bear the
drearv routine and the continual wallow-
ing Of the small boats without a word Of
complaint.
Lieut. Commander Mark said that Naval
Cadet Combs, wEo has not yet graduated,
but is doing duty on the Scorpion Is down
with malarial fever While the Scorpion
was off Manzanillo with the temperature
at 1O5 degrees, general quarters" was
sounded suddenly. Cadet Combs rushed
from his sick bed to his station stark nak-
ed but with his sword buckled around his
waist. This plucky young officer will have
to be sent home to Tecuperate.
The Incident Is merely characteristic Of
The hard, unheralded work done with quiet
bravery and endless patience aboard the
small craft doing blockade duty on the
Cuban coast.
1t is hoped that the international rea-
tions will soon assume phase that win
enable the feet to take either aggressive
action or a much needed rest in dry dock.

ARMY NOT TO BE DIsBANDED.
Troops VIII BE Needed for Garrison
Duty for some Time.

Washington, Aug. 6,-Assuming that
Spain has decided TO accept our terms for
the negotiations of peace. it is expected
that the peace agreement viii be formally
completed by the first of next week, and
that hostilities win be suspended at once.
This Will not be followed at an early date
by the disbanding of the army, but on
the contrary the period before the sign
ing of the formal peace treaty and its
ratification by the Senate will be devoted
to perfecting a compact and effective or
sanitation of the army and cleaning, re-
pairing and placing all the vessels in the
navy.
The sick and wounded of the army who
are regarded as incapaoited for further ser
vice viii probably be given their dis
charge at an early date. The men VINO
are in good condition or are suffering only
temporary disability, Will be held together
and put in the best possible shape for
service.
A part of the forces sent to Porto Rico
will be kept there and others sent TO
Havana and other Cuban cities for garri-
son duty.
1t is regarded as quite probable that
some of the best of Gen. Skaters army
after thorough recuperation in the United
States, may have to be sent again to cuba.
The so-caled "immuues' who will take
the place of Gen. Skaters forces at san
tiago are not in many cases, 1t is believed,
really immune, and il, therefore, Is proba-
BILE that some of them will fall victims TO
the climate.
Tho protest of Senator Bacon against
sending the Georgia "immunes' to san
tiago indicates lack of confidence in the
locality from which the so-called i'm
munes" come in their ability to with
stand the heat.
Communications to the department from
friends of some Of the 'immunes' shows
the feeling of anxiety which exists.
The department, however, while anticl-
patiug that there will be sickness among
the immunes and that some Of them viii
have 10 be brought back incapncitated,
does not feel that the great anxiety OK
hibited is warranted. The regiments sent
60 relieve Gen. Shafter, whether actually
immune or not, will land there under much
better conditions than Gen. Skaters army
and will be provided with every comfort
possible under the circumstances; will not
be called upon to endure exhausting IA
tigue and exposure and Will be provided
with shelter, wholesome food and sum
cient medical attentions.
