The First Illinois regiment had one company here* sixty-four strong. They never went Into buttle, but when they left for home they had only JU»en ty-flve men. That goes to show how unhealthy this country Is." Harsh Talk Another member of the immune* writes to The Journal as follows: “Sagua de Tananto, Cuba, Sent. 20, 1898.— Dear Journal: Upon request of a good many of the ls>ys of our detach ment, I have decided to write you and try to explain our position to the people of Georgia. There ate two companies stationed at this place, Companies A and M, doing garrison duty. Half of the time two-thirds of the men are In the hospital with malarial fever. When the men go to the hoHpital half of them have to lie* on telr blankets on the hard floor, for there are not near suf ficient cots to accommodate them. The men had almost as soon be ordered to the guard house as to the hospital. The accommodations are very poor and we hear from our couriers that affairs are a great deal worse with the other de tachments. "The other day a surgeon asked n post commander to let him send home the men who were physically disabled for duty. The reply he got was that there was plenty of dirt in Cuba to bury them if they died. Our rations are poor. Ail we get, sick or well, is fat bacon, a few beans and once or twice a week a few canned tomatoes. 11% *3 t-muik A % TAM AtlMUl, OCf. *?.
