LIST IS GROWING.
There Is No Let-Up in the Epidemic
of TYnh old in Camn Ramsey 7

There Is No Let-Up in the Epidemic
of Typhoid in Camp Ramsey.
AS the days go past and the fever
cases continue to develop at Camp
Smelling, as the result Of the Infection
taken in at Camp Ramsey, the medical
staff and the colonel of the Fifteenth
regiment grow well-nigh discouraged.
When the first dozen cases appeared,
three weeks ago, one Of the doctors
made the prophetic remark that there
would be 300 before the epidemic was
over. The truth of his prediction is
borne out in the hospital reports,
which show that over 800 Of the men
have been smitten with the fever since
the first case appeared. To-day there
were about twelve more, whose con-
ditions will probably result in their
going to the hospital before the day is
over. Yesterday twelve men were tax
en- down town to the hospitals. The
day before sixteen were taken, the lat
ter number being an accumulation of
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
1t must not be understood that 300
men are sick at the present time, for
they are being discharged from the hos
pitfalls at the rate of four and five dali
ly. Many of the cases have proven
very light The increase just now is
but slightly greater than the number
of discharges, but it is the steady, I'M
remittent manner in, which the eases
continue to develop which causes so
r.uch anxiety. '.. ~.

Gen. Lawton Will Give No Rations
to Sl1ull<ing Insurgents.
Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 1.-Two hun
dred Cubans from Gen. Cenreco's camp
in the hills near Cebre, this province,
came to the city and surrendered their
arms and asked for rations. Gen. Law
ton took the arms and put the men to
work on the water front to earn their
rations.
The Cubans say their forces in San
tiago province are suffering for want
Of food and are on the point of break
ing out. They have no provisions and
cannot get forage.
Gen. Lawton has replied that he will
ration all men who come to town, give
up their arms and work for their food,
but he will not supply any men who
persist in keeping their arms and
skulk in the hills when they ought to
be on the plantations and helping to
make harvest. He believes it will not
be long before most of the Cubans will
have given up their fight for recogni-
ton and have returned to their homes.
