The troops at Santiago have been
suffering from malarial fever. The
sanitary report for Aug, 4, shows the
following condition.:
Total sick, 1854; fever cases, 25,4S;
total new cases of fever, 5O2; total
cases of fever returned to duty, $40.
1t seems the department had been
urged by the officers to move the
troops out of Cuba as soon as possible,
but they were inclined to take their
time i'll the matter and issued an order
to General Sbafter to move the army
into the interior to San Luis, where it
is healthier. General Shafter sum
moned meeting of all the command
ing and medical officers of the Fifth
army corps, and as a result of the con-
ference Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
addressed letter to General SLaGter
in which he recounted the condition
OF the army aud the immediate neces.
sity for moving the troops north.
Afer Colonel Roosevelt had taken
the initiative, all the American gem

Thetollowing correspondent 2e passed

Santiago, July 90, 1S98.-My Dear
Mr. Secretary: am writing with the
knowledge and approval Of General
Wheeler. We earnestly hope you will
send us most of the regulars and at
any rate. the cavalry division includ-
ing the Rough Riders, who are as good
as any regulars, and three times as
good as any state troops sent to Porto
Rico. There are 800 efficient men
in this division, If those who were
left behind were joined to them, we
could land at Porto Rico.
sin this cavalry division there are
close to 1000 men, who would be
worth easily any 10000 national
guards armed with black powder,
Springfield rifles or other archaic
weapons. very respectfully,
(Signedl Theodore Roosevelt"

they ought to be very grateful.

It Is Retribution?

Thirty years ago in the
United States Senate. Senator
Matt Carpenter, discussing the
Cuban question, turning to
Senator Sumner, pfophetically
said:
"But there are truths so
mighty that if men hold their
peacethe stones will cry out, and
it is the silence Of that Senator
that leads me now to address tbs
Senate. We have happily escap>
ed from the curse of human
slavery ourselves, but as be 1e-
violence is stayed by no barrier
of nature, acknowledges no
limits of human dominion, we
cannot, blameless, remain in>
different.
Now, sir, I submit upon this
state OF facts, which the Cubans
offer to establish by judicial
evidence, a great wrong, or,
rather, an unaccountable series
of wrongs, has been committed
by our government. We are
solemnly bound by the law Of
nations, properly construed, ex~
pressly pledged by our own de
clarations upon this subject, to
stand entirely neutral between
Spain and Cuba, but as the law
has been administered it has
been a shield to Spain, a sword
to Cuba. Liberty i'll Cuba is in
the heipfulness of infancy; its
life IS feeble, its pulse low. l do
not invoke your aid on behalf of
Cuba; l only ask that to be done,
the neglect Of which would
justly bring war upon us If
Cuba had the strength to enforce
her rights. AS it is, whether the
United States does its duty or
violates its duty, Cuba is without
remedy. But there is bar, the
bar Of impartial history, before
which all governments must
stand; there is God and great
book in which deeds Of nations
are written, and there is retribu-
ton for every nation which.
knowing it's duty, does it not"
Are we suffering today as a

duty thirty years ago2

prisoners including IS officers,
the crew Of the Chrestobel Colon.
The mum Der killed and wounded
on the Colon is remarkably
small only ; killed and 13
wounded and all the sailors cap
tured. The Spaniards are cheer
full. The officers say they have
had nothing to eat for "a hours
previous to the destruction of the
feet. They had great difficulty
in getting the men to their posts.
Therefore large quantities Of H.
quor was given out. Many still
show signs of intoxication. The
officers say the order of attack
was given out by minister of
Marines at Madrid. They state
that none of the Sailors expect
ed to live after the engagement
all the valuables were put on
board the Colon as she was the
swiftest in the feet. They pro
fess great admiration of the
Americans and say if the Amer
leans had pressed the land forces
the Spaniards would have been
compelled to surrender. The
troops were completely worn
out and starving.
The body of Yoeran Ellis
was buried at dusk Tuesday
evening near the site on the hill
where the marines were en-
trcnched.
