There was a large number of typhoid cases, but on the 32d instant this disease was not on the increase—a fact in dicates that the malady had been carried from the camps at home and Is not indi genous to Puerto Rico. However, there was a very large increase in diarrhoea, dy sentery, dengue, or breakbone fever, and malarial disorders, due to the hot, un healthy rainy season. Just commencing, which causes the water supply to be filled with malarial germs from the constantly decaying vegetation. All medical author ities in the army ;n Puerto Rico agree that tht siek list is increasing, and that an alarming condition may be expected unless the war department promptly arranges barracks for the army of occupation and immediately provides additional transports (the hos ital ship. Relief, being insuffi cient) to remove such of the sick as can be safely transferred home, the convales cents and those enervated by climatic con ditions.

COMFORTABLY CAMPED. The Men Are in Good Spirits and Are in Accord With Their Offi cers—Expect Discharges. Atlanta, Sept. 2. —Charley Wallace, so well known in Atlanta, and Dr. O’Brien, and a half score other members of the Third Immune regimeit, are hack In this city from Santiago on sick leave. They expect to be discharged. Wallace talks interestingly of their ex perience since the command sailed from Savannah. It was a fur days’ trip, he says, beauti tiful, calm and clear. The transport went up into the harnor of Santiago and landed them in the city. The other troops received them enthusiastically. As soon as the men were all ashore they were formed and marched, bag and baggae, to a hill on the left of the town and about a quarter of a mile distant from its outskirts. A shaded spot was selected for the camp, and in a very short time the tents were pitched and the boys comfortably installed. The men, Wallace says, are in high spirits. None fear the fever and all are delighted with their situation. They are a light-hearted, happy set, whose oniy trouble is disappointment over cessation of hostilities. A remarkable spirit of cordiality exists be tween officers and men. Colonel Ray, he says, is very popular, and so also are the other officials —Major Gordon particularly. He is actually loved. Hiram Middlebrooks, who is first ser geant of company M —Wallace’s company— fills that important post in away that pleases both the officers and men some thing very difficult to do. L'eutenant Jones, who was first lieuten ant o' Campany M, has been promoted to a captaincy, vice Maddox, who resigned. At the time Wallace left Santiago no permanent disposition of the regiment had been made. Aside from the dozen who came home there was no sickness. And of this dozen none are seriously ill. They were told off however, 'and ordered to Ft. McPherson. The treatment they have re ceived there is, Wallace says, something to be proud of. Every man was served as though he were a general. Physicians, nurses of various status, vie with each other. In Santiago, he says, they were fed finely. At Ft. McPherson they are fed lux uriously. Wallace 'and his comrades were all ill with malarial fever when 'they arrived here. They are convalescent now. He says they expect to be discharged. Just why, he doesn’t know, except in his own case. Age is against him. He is 55 years old. MORTUARY REPORT IS SATISFACTORY.

Female nurses are an incumbrance on the field of battle, and I have objected to their being sent, as we have men especially delegated for that duty. For hospitals I have gladly ac cepted female nurses. I do not believe in giving exclusive privileges to any organ ization of this kind. I have letters thank ing this department for courtesies extend ed to these organizations.” FAMISHED FOR WATER Troops Had None at Santiago and Less at Montauk.

New Y'ork. Sept. 2 —The World prints an interview' with Shafter in which he is rep resented as saying: “At Santiago we had to deal with things as they are, not as they should be. “Os course there was sickness. It was inevitable in a summer campaign. “The men who ordered the summer campaign are responsible for the natural and unavoidable consequences. “None of our wounded were allowed to lie on the battle field as I was In civil war. It was the heat that was so deadly. “I am satisfied with the Santiago cam paign. When it is fully understood with all its difficulties it well reveive its just place in military history. “When the invasion was planned it was obvious that it must be a rush. Such it was. At El Caney, the fight I hoped would be finished at 10 o’clock, but it took until 5. “Had I had Lawton on the right of the line we would have undoubtedly taken Santiago that night in which ease the only garrison theh there would have surren dered to us. Whereas later all the troops in the region surrounding were included. “I knew the war was over as soon as Toral spoke to me about surrendering the troops in the eastern province. We never had on the fighting line at any one time more than 13,000 men and with these we captured 27,000. The Spaniards were down to the last bit of rice when they surren dered, but chivalrously declined on the first day to accept the rations offered them. They said the American charity humili tated them, but I noticed that they same around for grub on the second day.” WHAT IvFTrK - HANNA THINKS. He Savs that Governors of the States ’Appointed the Officers. Cleveland, Sept. 2—Senator Hanna has returned from a month’s outing at Yel lowstone Park. Concerning the reported sufferings in the army camps Hanna said: “I do not care to place the blame for the conditions upon any one. I will say that the governors of the different states appointed the volunteer officers and we find the illness among the troops comes from the volunteer ranks. The places for the location of the camps were selected because of their availability and the gen eral climatic conditions,” KIN TO JACK CHIN. William Morgan Shot and Stabbed by an Old Enemy.
