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.
