Johnson, Is now stationed at Morro barracks, Santiago, Cuba, and letters from him to his pa rents tell of the terrible condition of affairs resulting from the scarcity of water In that part of tha Island and wliut privations the United State* sol dlers have to endure. All water, he writes, was cut off from the officers' quarters and barracks, and the small quantity of water allowed each man Is delivered In a tin csn. The soldiers haven't water to wash their faces and hands, and bathing and laundering Is Impossible except In sea water. Added to these hardships. Is the dan ger to health arising from the fact that the city of Santiago hss been without water to flush Its sewers for the past four weeks. So scarce Is water that It has come to bo sold by the drink. The horrors of u water famine In a hot country are not easily to be described, but Lieuten ant Johnson writes that unless rain comes soon great sickness and suffering are feared. Asuciatzd Charities.
