GETTIXO ALONG NICELY,
Patients at the Honpitaia Are InEx-cellent Condition.
The typhoid fever patients from Camp Ram-soy at the hospitals are reported as all im-proving. At the B»the«d* hospital there aretwenty-eight, and th« officers of the Fifteenthregiment yesterday conferred with the hospi-
tal authorities with a view of having a dozenmore paileute cared for.
At St. Luke's the twenty-three fever pa-tients are reported as improving, and the menare of the opinion that the hospl a", is a greatimprovement over a camp hospital, and theypro being eared for much better than thoughthf.v were at Santiago.
The patients at St. Joseph's and the cityhospital are doing ni'.-ely, and there are noserious cases among the forty-three patients.
SAIDMASS ATSAKTIAGO.
Father Hart, of the Third Regiment,First to Celebrate It.
Rev. Father J. J. Lawler, pastor of the Itsthedrfil, recently received a letter from !Rev. Father P. J. Hart, chiplain or" the Th riI'nlted States Infantry, before Santiago, withGen. Shaftcr's division, formerly chaplan at ]Fort Snelling. Father Hart, whose picture jfnd sketch were recently printed in Tiie ]Globe, calls attertk-Ti to the great risk'? :the Eoldlers run in debark Intr. "It was Well,"he says "that we had the jrunboats. A few !c&mron on shore, wall handled, couM have Idestroyed every transport in our fleet. Asingle frhot from an ordinary gun on land- oron ship might have svnk each of our trans-ports with all or. board. W.thout the war-ships we were quite at the mercy of the en-rn:y." In his Utter to Father Liwler, FatherHart \VTite.~:
"In c:mp every man is his own serve.nt, ;i-ook. order'y, housekesper, carpenter, wash- jerwoman, laundress and everything elsa. He ibecomes his own pack-mule before reachingcamp, and must carry his food, drink, c."o'thes.btd, bedding and whatever else he needs.We stayed fn camp where we land-sd fromJune 24 to June 27 at 3 a. m. Our armymoved on foot. All the cavalry except a f;wfield officers were dismounted, having beenc.h'l?<ed to leave their an mals at Tampa., iAfter the batt'« of July 1. 2 and 3 Iwas on iduty at ths First division hospital, near (Jen. iShaftcr's hfadqucrtrrs, and Iwitnessed such !suffering there as Ishall not somi forget.War is a terrlblp th'ng.
"A* the hospital mentioned Iperformed ifuneral services for th'rty-four persons (thre?officers and thirty-one privates) n the spa"cof eighteen hours. Ibar?tl7Pd five and heard !scores of confessions. The flr3t funeral serv- Iice ther? was for ten men, including Capt. jFornanee, all of whom were buried In one jpit. In another pit twenty-tour were buried.Istayed at the hospital two days and then IJoined my reelment. wh'^eJi Tied a posit'on Ioverlooking Santiaso a little to the right !of the- center of the ba.tt'e line, and In plain |view of the Spaniards. We were separated by600 or 7rtO yards. During the truce Iwentamong other regimeii'te to hear confessions.and it was tbe sudden roar of artillery that |informed m^ the true? was off and the battle |on. Icould net de^«r!'be the horrors of such Ia strife.
"Sunday, July 17, Iwitnessed the formalsurrender of the orovinces and city. Thefol'.owing day Iobtained permission to passthe lines and r>a.ld my respects to the ar.-'h-bi?hon of Santiago, who received me kind y.1 took dinner with him. Iwas the firstpr esit of this exped-Uon to celebrate mass >
in camp in Santiago."

Woundffl l*ol^**continue to pas 3through thla 61ty to Western points,tfhree men, who were shot during th,9battles of San Juan and Santiago, ar-rived here yesterday and went out onthe Northern Pacific coast train. Theywere privates In the Second and theSixteenth regular Infantry antf theTenth cavalry. TOie latter was a col-ored man.
Private Louis Daum. of Company C,Second infantry, suffered from twowounds, In the right calf and in theright arm, and malaria and neuralgia.His head pained him so much he wasunwilling to talk but briefly abouthimself.
"We were in the thick of the fightat Santiago," he said to a reporterfor The Globe, "and in my com-pany four men were wounded and fourwere killed. Iwas shot twice withinfive minutes. A bullet is in my legyet because Iwould not let the doc-tors extract It. Itdoes not trouble memuch. Isuffer most from malaria. 1am going to Fort Harrison, Mont."
The second soldier was Private Ju-lius Grothendick, of C.mpany G, Six-teenth infantry. He is going to Spo-kane Falls. He wears as a watchcharm a Spanish bullet which went |into hJs left thigh and ploughed tPninchps through a bone. It Is twistedand looks like a shark's tooth.
"Our regvment was in Gan. Hawlolns'brigade," he said to the reporter."The Sixth regulars and the Seventy-first New York volunteers were withus. We were in the battle of SanJuan, and were in tilie center of thefiring line when the charge up the hillwas made. We went into action at10 o'clock in the morning and did notcapture the block house until after iin the afternoon. It was the hottestfight, Iguess, in history. The Span-iards were intrenched in rifle pits be-h:nd barb wire fences, and we had todrive them out one after another. Ourbrigade was able to advance throughwoods and tall grass for a consider-able dtetar.ee, and we had reached theopen when the Seventy-first besran toshoot. The volunteers carried Spring-field?, and the smoke from the gunsgave the Spaniards the range so theycould shoot accurately and kill us off.The Seventy-first was then orderedba.ck out of the firing line, for ourgruns are the Krag-Jorgensens, and weused •smokeless powder, like that ofthe Spaniards. It 1s an injustice to theSeventy-first to say that the regimentfled from the flft-ht. It was ordered toretreat so as to save our lives, andthe men had to obey directions. Theremay have been a little fright,but therewas no cowardice anywhere in thatbattle. As we approached the rifle pitswe had to charge through fences andaver all kinds of obstructions, but theSpaniards were borne back by the ir-resistible charge of our men, and on?after another the pits were taken andthe men advanced.
"That battle was an awful slaugh-ter. The firing on both sides was likea storm of bullets, and men droppedall ariund. The pits were filled withdead Spaniards. But the hardest workof the day was the capture of thestone "block house on the top of thehill. It was a long building perforatedwith rifle holes, -where the Spaniardsstood and peppered us as we advanced.Idon't know how it was taken, 'butwe finally carried it, and it was pwin
filled with Spanish onrpres. The deadwere piled up in heaps. Inever wantto see another such night."Iwas wounded while we were charg-
ing1 tbe hill. We were kneeling whenIfelt something like a slsdsre hammerstrike me in the hip and Ifell. Iwaspromptly carried to 'the rear, wherewe founid the Second infantry waitingto take our places an the firing lin°.
"Our regriTnent lost 300 men killedand wounded and many are yet mi&s-ing. Iwas brought up on the first shinand it was reported that Iwas deaduntil sorre officers of the regiment sawme in New York.
"The American soldiers have no usefor the Cubans. We saw 500 of themunder Garcia, and they wore a lot ofthieves. They were ragged and hun-gry, and when we arrived there theybegan to steal everything they couldlay hands on. They stole food, clothss,suns a.nd everything, and would notftgfot. They are no good.
"The worst enemy in Cuba is yellowfever. Half of ths army has it "in oneform or another, and it is pitiable tosee the poor fellows walking throughthe streets of New York like livingskeletons. Their health !s wrecked.The colored troops fought splendidly inCuba and you cannot praise them toohighly. The Twenty-fourth a«dTwenty-fifth infantry and the Tenthcavalry rendered the best of service.The colored soldiers are all right, andthey deserve all honor for their work."The colored soldier on tfhe train wasSpraguie Sims, trumpeter of Troop D,Tenth cavalry. A hole through his hatshowed where a Mauser bullet passedtnrowgT1 and a plaster on the side ofhis head betrayod his wound."Igrot a glancing shot," he said. Th=
bullet just went In a little ways andcame out again.
''I -wns wouitded during: the fight be-fore Santiago. 001. Baldwin was incommand of the regiment and Capt.Blgrelow of our co,mr>any, but "thecaptain was wounded several times,and at the time Iwas shot Lieut.Kennington was at the head of thetroop.
"We had driven -the Spaniards backfourteen miles and had oarrled the lastline of intrenohmentfl when Iwasstruck. EJght mien in Troop D werewounded and one killed.
"1cannot describe the fight In detail.AllIca.n cay Is we saw the Spanishahead of us and we waded rlfifht Into wipe them off the earth. We weredismounted and the Spanish wereetTongiy intrenched, Tbut w« swept themout of their rifle pits and carried thetown.
"We were also in the first flghitwhenRooeevelt'a rough rider* were attack-ed. We were sent to the assistance ofthe rjdere. Roosevelt's men are splen-did fighters, and they did good workIn the war."

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—The Presssays: Oapt.

"Yes," he went on, "wby shouldn'tIhave friends on board your ships?We did not flg'ht as personal foes.""Captain, do you think Hobson willraise the Colon?"

CAMP THOMAS, Chlckaraauga, Aug. 18.-We are informed ||that there is a movement on foot to shove us (the Fourteenth L|regiment) off Into garrison duty, and that our sentiments (?) IB have been given that we are anxious to go a<t this time to Cuba 1g or elsewhere to do police duty for the remainder of our term (20 §m months).
| To this we register on* mightykick. Our sentiments or feel- Iffl ings have never been consulted, and no one has any right to ex- i|press our thoughts-even though we are privates-without ftrst H|knowing what they are. No one can do this, and do the right 1Ithir,g. We responded to the call by our president, never one» I|stopping to think of the wages-^r grub, but through our patri- ||otic ,-pirk. We were ready to do battle for our country, and wer- BIanxious to see action, and if necessary to lay down our. livesT 1g And we believe if,the same spirit had made itself manifest to PJ secure our move to -the fr^nt at the time when we could have i\u25a0 shown our patriotism and bravery as 1*Mingdone to get us now Mg on garrieon duty, we could have shown to the people of our §H great state whether we ar c true patriots, or real tramps, as we== have been dubbed. «. g*
Some of us left positions in banks at good sal- |j| aries, others gave room at the counter for others 1gj at three times the wagiS we are now getting. Some gave up their §,|law practice that was. wor th thousands of dollars per annum ii Many have left their farms in care of their wives and children I|and their wheat crop will this year be counted by the thousand Ij! bushels. And out love of oountry Is none the less than it was Mg the day wevplunteered our services to Uncle Sam, But we do r1 irralFt trfat »c be not sent off to do garrison duty in times of §|peace merely to gratify the wishes of some men who never be- 1g fere drew a ta'ary so large snd earned it so easily.
**g Much dissatisfaction is being manifested by the citizen-sol- H|diers, or privates. Petitions have gone through the regiment and I1 been signed by near-y every man, unless it is a few first sergeants, Ip who think they have a chance to get a commission, or some Sj| quartermaster, whose' stripes are wider than the epace between 1 -ihis eyes. The petition merely states the cau-e of our enlistment, g1 gives the reasons why we do not want to go into garrison and |B asks the proper authorities to aot for us and see that we are Mg discharged when peace is restored. This is termed by some of our |m commajiders a3 "mutir.y." Articles of war were read along the g
_= line today and the signers threatened with punishment and the Sg instigators with a court martial. We still maintain that we have Bg a right to express our true wish, as welfas our commanders jig have to express a wish for us, without obtaining the true desire £= of our hearts. Sg We can. In a measm c, forget our treatment here— the poor 1g grub we eat, the half rations we drew, the curses we received— \u25a0= but when m«n undertak? to give us a dose that is almost unb:ai- j|J able we will surely hold it In bitter remembrance. We ask our fH friends at home to a^d us by their influence and see that our BS| just deserts are meted out to us. Private.

"Beautiful and every Inch a fightingship. Iwould have got away; noneof them could have citopped me, but

Oh, no, neitherof the two kept me from escaping; butIcannot tell you now why Iwas notable to save my splendid shdp," andthe captain's voice trembled.
"You won't have long to -wait,though; you won't have long to wait,"he repeated. "When Itell why,It willbo on the floor of the cortes. Iam anremtoer of the Spanish parliament.

PENNY TABLE D'HOTE.The Bowery Now tins a Bohemia of
Its Own.From the New York World.
Not to be outdone by the Four Hun-dred, the denizens of the Bowery havestarted a Bohemia of their own. As Inthe case of every other Bohemia thatwas ever established in New York, it Isbased on the proposition that Bohe-rnianism consists solely in splitlng upa meal Into six or seven courses andmaking a noise while eating It.
The tramps' Bohemia is in the base-ment of a lodging house near Chathamsquare. There they serve a tabled'hote dinner for 1 cent, and the WearyWraggles and the Tired Tatters whoeat It assume all the airs which theythink appertain to the aristocracy. Ashaughty manners cost nothing to thosewho have them, the Bowery Bohemianshave come to the conclusion that theyare within their means, and hereafterthey will make them one of their spe-cialties.
The Bowery Bohemians are a littlequioter in their ways, for Instance, thansome of those who frequent many fa-vorite Sixth avenue "Bohemian" re-sorts, but they niay learn in time, andbecome loud enough to be eligible formembership in the latter.
The bill of fare In the Bowery Bohe-mia is as follows:
MENU.
POTAGE.Pea.
ENTREE.Eau a la Verre.
ROTI.Pain de Saison.
ENTRE-MET.Beurre en plats.
DESERT.Cafe-aulait.
This looks very exclusive and fillingon the card, but when translated itmeans simply: Pea soup (one pint),glass of water, bread, butter, cup ofcoffee. Not a bad meal for a penny.
"You see," said the 'boss, "people aregetting so high-toned that style iseverything. Even ifyou give a man aglass of water nowadays you have tofixit so that he'll get it Incourses. Thewhole scheme of society is based on abluff, and the Bowery Bohemians are'on.' There is a 7jcent table d'hote run-ning across the street where they giveone soup, a fish, a meat and a glassof wine. Ihave been managing a \1-cent-meal joint for some time, butthree months ago my business fe'.l off.The sign on my establishment read,'Square Meal, One Cent.' This ceasedto attract . Now Ihave changed it to"Table d'Hote, One Cent. 1 and, though
Igive the same grub, there is such acrowd that Ihave to get a policeman ]to keep 'em in line. My place holdsforty, ;but Ibelieve Icould fill it ifitheld 400. It's simply the hunger forstyle. Ifa millionaire gets pleasure inputting on airs, for heaven's sakeshouldn't a beggar?"
TRAVEL COMFORTS.TliinjtNNeeded In MaklnK a Tour of
Europe.
From the Philadelphia Press.It is not well, says an' expariencjd ;
traveler, to 'try to reduce one's lug- jgage too much. This doing Europe jwith a tooth brush Is neither necessary jnor economical.
One should not burden oneself with'too much impediments, but there are afew things which are absolutely neces-sary to one's comfort. Ifound room ;in the dreps-sul't case even, which Ijkept always with me when out of reachof my trunk, for a hot-water bag anda tiny spirit lamp arrangement forheating water.
These two things gave me more com-fort than almost any other part of myluggage.
Hot water in the small stopping plac-es In provincial Europe is the mostdifficult thing to procure and IsIpromptly put down in the bill If it isgot.
Most of the lodging rooms, even insummer, are cold.
In Switzerland, one positively suffersfrom that cause, and. my precious hot-water bag many a time gave me aoomfortnble and refreshing afternoonnap that Icould not have had shiver-ing in my chilled bedroom.
A bag of biscuits and a Jar of beefextract with my spirit lamp Ifoundanother valuable combination.
Coming to my lodgings after hoursxjf sightseeing, often faint and hungry,the cut) of bouillon that Icould quicklyproduce was Just what Ineeded to
