Maine Men Not II Love With Treatment It
chlctamausa.

Boston. Aug. y. men and on
GERS Of the. 1st Maine Regiment. who
were. able to do so. were allowed to
tell their experience in Southern
camps. Capt. Esterbrook, however,
said that the condition Of the men was
due principally to inaction. and the
very unhealthy section in which they
were located. The men had nothing to
occupy themselves with and lay
around seeing their friends die.
They seemed to become fascinated
with the air OF the fever. and soon
were taken with It themselves. Some
thing else to occupy their minds be-
sides sickness and death would have
kept many of them from being sick.
I'VE have had first class food sup
plies. good supplies Of hard tack. fresh
bread and beef in liberal quantities.
The canteen fund was used to purchase
delicacies. The quartermaster's SER
geant came daily to get rations. 1t
depended on the cook whether the food
was good or not when it reached the
men. Sometimes. it was left out In
the sun and was maggoty before noon.
Ten days rations were drawn and they
would be rotten before the men got
them"
All the officers did not agree with
the captain and those of the men who
would talk contradicted his statements
in regard to the quality OF the food.
One OF the officers said the food was
not good. but he did not care much
about that II the hospital service was
what it should have been. There was
deplorable lack OF surgeons. Those
who were there did all they could and
deserved great praise for their success.
hut the number was far short of what
it should have been.
He condemned the policy OF the gov
ernment sending out trained female

ments," he said. "were damnable."
Those Of the men who talk had MOTH
ing to say in favor Of the treatment
they received. The universal COM
plant was that the food was bad in it.

London, Aug. 25.-The dispatch

cution Of diplomacy to the point Of war
during her life time was Withdrawn.
and he was given an absolutely free
hand: and that thereupon the ministry
made definite proposals to Russia.
which in effect, amounted to an ulti-
matum, is an elaboration of the cur
rent gossip of the clubs and the sem
sational weeklies and is obviously i'm
possible Of confirmation or denial.
Circumstantial evidence all goes to dis
prove the statement.
Lord Salisbury has been spending his
vacation since Pertinent adjourned in
France. Sir Thomas Henry Sander
son, permanent under secretary of
state for foreign affairs and likewise
the Russian ambassador to Great
Britain. M. De Staal, have been on the
continent for a long time Apparently
there are no important negotiations
pending.
England abandoned the open door
policy because Russia closed the door
in her face, as has been pointed out.
and retreated to the policy of sphere
of influence. because 1t is necessary to
appear to have some Chinese policy.
Two British ships were Withdrawn
from Chinese waters. yesterday.

MUCH NONE FOOD HEEDee.



New York. Aug. 2s.-G. w. Hyatt.
the Red Cross agent at Key West. who
was q prominent Havana merchant.
has been engaged in sending small re-
lief expeditions to various points ON
the Cuban coast. Relative to this
work he writes to stephen e. Barton
AZ follows:
1 am happy to inform you that the
last two expeditions OF food sent to
Cuba. one to Cardenas and one to the
coast above Sagua Ia Grande. arrived
safely and were delivered to the
hungry women and chilren to their
great delight.
A part OF that sent to the shore near
Cardenas was carried on mems backs
nearly to Matanzas and distributed to
the hungry. My men doing this work
have returned here and are begging for
more food. The Mantanas. Havana
and Pinar del Rio provinces are suf-
fering horribly.
Notwithstanding you have so much
work to do in the different volunteer
camps in the United States I most
sincerely hope that the Cuban relief
committee will not forget that there
are many thousands In Cuba who are
starving. II this meets your approval
I propose to send small amount Of
provisions (say two or three tons) to
Havana to be Immediately distributed.
1t was reported here that there was
much disorder in Havana; but. yes
terday. received telegram from
there saying complete tranquility
reigns Work in Cuba can be carried
on with perfect safety: at least. l am
only too anxious to try 1t and with the
least possible delay. l am surrounded
constantly by persons begging for re-
lief for their families in Cuba. Com
munication is now an every day &C.
currence.
Can any thing be done to aid some Of
the most worthy Cuban families to re-
turn to Havana? Some have property
there and can do and live in their
houses: others have friends and rela-
tives: but none have a cent with which
to get to Havana and they are now
living on the charity distributed by the
Red Cross.

train to their homes.
The train ran express to Portland
where the men from that vicinity and
Lewiston and vicinity were left and
the rest of the men except those sent
to hospital were sent on to Augusta
after nearly three hours wait. Dur
ing the time the men were waiting
they were served with dinner in the
station dining room. Adjutant Gener-
al Richards arranged for the dinner
and his thoughtfulness was greatly
appreciated by the men.
1t was expected that the men might
arrive in Portland during the night SD
that Mayor Randall had accommodo-
tions in the aranory for $50 GONZALES
cents. They were not used. however.
as a delay was caused at the New
York & New Haven Railroad by
changing two carloads of men into
other cars. The sleepers the men
were originally in were too high to get
under some trestles and lower cars
had to be substituted, causing delay
of several hours.
Enormous crowds greeted the train
at Biddeford where the men were
heartily welcomed. although the crowd
thoughtfully RETAINED from any noisy
demonstration. At Portland there
were over 1000 people in the station
who had waited eight hours for the
train.
Agent Sprague thoughtfully had the
train put on a track a little distance
from the train shed SO there would not
be any accidents from outgoing and in
coming trains.
There was a large force Of police in
attendance but they had great difficu-
ty in restraining the crowd and keep
ing them back from the train. Anx-

and sisters eagerly searched the crowd
