was covered with the dead. The
epemy paid no attention to tbej-r
men after.they.were killed but left
them .fvhgro- th^y ifctl. Tho Amer-
IcansflSust dug trenches undiburied
their dead. Then,dhuso'belonging
to tho.enemy were ,j«»t ih wells,
rifio pits and n,t any other place ip
tbe groundvwbero,»a man could be
covered with dirt .in order to get
rid of the awful scent as .early as
possible. Hospitals were soon.es-'
tublishcd in order to enro for urn'
soldiers that were stricken down
with tho malaria in great numbers
every day. From two to four
mon .weredetailed from each. com-,
pany to dig graves in a selected
comotery so as to have thorn ready
as fust as needed. Every, morning
nearly it -refjuivcd a .four lliorse
wagon to haul off the .dead from

numbers wore placed rin .graves

timo when tho remaius .of ,tbe sol

tew bodies were found almost as
perfect as tbe day they were bu
