Mr.. A. e. MOyneIO VIII Leave To-
morrow for IA Trip to Cuba.
Mr. A. E. Moynelo will leave tomorrow
for Havana in the interest of his firm and
at the same time will do what he can to-
wards paving the way for trade relations
with Savannah His own business will
require very little time in Havana, but he
will spend several days there Investigating
the opportunities for trade with this port.
Il believe that Savannah should con-
troll much of the Cuban and Porto Rican
trade Mr.. Moynelo said yesterday, "and
l have no doubt that it win do so should
the merchants be properly introduced in
both islands. 1 believe I could do this 1

When the delegates were appointed by the
committee of the Board OF Trade and

pose of bringing the business of those isl

the interest of my firm, I will do every
thing in my power to bring the merchants
OF the islands in touch with those of Sa-
Vannah. The Cuban trade will be of the
greatest importance to this port. The i'm
Porters or Cuba, as a rule are high toned
and wealthy men and l doubt not that
had the commission been sent to Cuba as
intended 1t would have resulted most fav-
orably. Heretofore by reason of several
European nations Icing favored in com
mercial treaties with Spain, few American
products were imported Things are
changed now and naturally this country
will control the West India trade. Savan-
nah is only about thirty-six hours
from the metropolis of Cuba.
which has heretofore been the great cen
ter, and see no reason why we should
not control a good share Of the Cuban
trade
Mr.. Moynelo believes that extracts from
the Morning News trade review of last
September should be translated into Span
ish and published in the most important
papers in Havana, Matanzas, Cardenas,
Cienfuegos and other cities of Cuba, and
also in the Porto Rican papers.

President Henry T. Williams of the

a Morning News reporter in regard to the
movement to obtain an appropriation from
Congress to increase the depth in the riv-
er from the city TO the sea to twenty
eight feet, said:
IT am ready to lend my assistance at
any time in any way possible to obtain
ing a depth of twenty-eight feet or any
other possible depth in the river. / have
no doubt that the project is a feasible
one. and that it is only a question of
money In this connection the greatest
benefit to this port viii result in its use
by the government as a port of embark6-
ton of troops 1t has served TO more
thoroughly advertise the port than any
thing else that could have been done. It
has served TO familiarize the government
authorities with the needs and the ad-
vantages of the port, aud hence there
should be little difficulty in the future
in obtaining an appropriation for any rea-
sonable improvement"

MAJ. APPEL IN COMMAND.
Has Arrived TO Take Charge of the
New Government Hospital.


Maj. Daniel Mitchell Appel, surgeon
United States army, arrived in the city
yesterday and win at once take charge O
the government hospital, an order having
been recently issued placing him in com.
mand.
Maj. Appel is one Of the most distin-
guished surgeons in the government ser
vice and has he'd important work 20 d.
since the beginning of hostiities wiki
spain. He came to Savannah from New
York, where he has been in charge since
Aug. % of all the sick and wounded sol
diers arriving at that port including
those sent down from the camp dt Mon
tauk.
In all about 200 soldiers have been I'M
DER mis- care since taking charge Of New
York.
Maj. Appel spoke interestingly Of the
manner ia which the soldiers were cared
for at New York
Resides the four large government hos
pitais al New York" he said. we had
the use Of all the hospitals of the city,
aoout sixty in number. Soldiers were
gladly received at all these hospitals and
tnere was rivalry among the hospitals as
to which should secure the invalid soldiers
eminent would pay anything for this
work. An allowance of one dollar per
day for each patient cared for in the
city hospitals was afterwards made by
the government. You can gain some idea
Of the work done by these hospitals from
the statement that one Of them recently
presented a bill of $500 fo- the care Of
government patients. It's total bill against
the government to date win probably
amount to 5000"
My work" said Maj. Appel in an
sWer to question, consisted OF receiving
the soldiers as they came in by train OF
transport and assigning them TO the diff
ferent hospitals. In a very short time af-
ter being notified of the expected arrival
OF "a train or transport bearing wounded
soldiers / could ascertain from the differ
ent hospitals just what room they had
and then l could maxi my dispositions
accordingly We could usually dispose of
200 or 800 sick and wounded men in an
hour and a half We received great as
sistarce from the police department which
always sent down forty or fifty big strap
ping fellows 10 help us handle the sol
diers. These policemen were very eff
cent, handling the sick soldiers fully as
well. il not better, than our own people
could do. l had plenty Of help OF course
in the way Of surgeons and nurses. My
work consisted largely in keeping track
Of the soldiers. in seeing that they got
their pay, that their clothing was not
lost or stolen and when they were suffi-
GENTLY recovered sending them to their
homes
Speaking of the hospitals DR. Appel said
that some of them had not yet presented
any bills for caring for the soldiers and
one a Jewish hospital had positively de-
clined to accept any pay for its work.
