THE CONDITIONS IN FREE CUBA UEN. BHAFTEB WHITES TO THE SECRETARY OF WAR. The Number of Sick Not Increasing, But the Death Rate Going Up. Impossibility of Isolntlng Fever Cases The Silver Question Has Settled Itself The General Thnnks the Secretary for Giving Him a Free Hand In the Conduct of the Santiago Campaign. Washington, Aug. 15. Secretary Al Bor today received a letter from Gen eral Shatter which Is In part as fol lows: "Hesdtiuarteis Fifth Army Corps, San tiago ile Cuba, Aug. 4, 1SDS "Hon. R. A. AIgr, .Secretary tit War, Washington, D. C. "My Dear" General Alger Your kind letter of July 25 was handed me yes terday by Major Snlffen. 1 thank you and the president for the confidence you express In my ability to handle the matter entrusted to me here. "The number taken 111 In my com mand Is vcy grout, as you will see. ihn.ifih not very much gi eater than those return d to duty, and the death rate Is not at present alarming, al though It Is btead:ly on the Increase, inul the doctors tell me that the fever, malarial and otherwise. Is constantly piesenting more vl dent features. V. 'cry effort possible s made to guard ships brlnglrg supplies to the army, but It Is almost Impossible to enfor"" It, when ships must be unloaded and men necessarily must coine together In dircharglng and receiving cargo. The great tiouble Is tint the people tliem- selvi.s seem to Have no fear of infec tion, nnd urless you have a guard over every Individual man It Is almost Im possible to keep them from mingling. "Thi- silver question has settled Itself atid American silver Is received tho u.ita? as An erlean paper money. The musing, I believe, have nearly all been neo inted for. Not a single man was raptured, and the only men now nilss Iti'i :-rc those that were killed In the thlik brush nnd whose bodies have never been found. The eountry has been scoured faithfully for bodies. This was done a short time after the battle. "The camps now occupied are meas urably good. They certainly are on the best ground that Is In the vicinity, and only slight changes of location can be made. The difficulty In separating camps of an army of this size is on account of the great difficulty of sup plying them with necessary food, es pecially during the wet season, when half a dozen wagons over a road cut It into ruts two feet deep in places. Pack trains are very good, and we have to use them, und do use them all the time; In fact, without them we could not get along; but the sickness among the teamsters and packers has been very great. Nearly every one of them I suppose 95 per cent. has been sick, and, like tho soldiers, they do not recover their strength. "The supplies are abundant of all articles of food and clothing. I can not fully express my gratitude to you for all the opportunities that you have given me nnd for th" confidence that you repose In ine, as shown more strongly than In any other way bv leaving mc unhampered in my opera tions against Santiago. 1 am very sorry to see that some newspapers are attempting to throw blame on your trying to run the campaign from Wash ington, and I suppose some people be lieve It. It Is one of the things, how ever, that I don't suppose can be helped, although whenever I have an opportunity I have tried to make It plain that I have been left to my own devices. I nm, very sincerely yours, "William R. Shatter." INDIANS EVICT A SPANIARD. Drive Him from the Reservation Be cause He Hurrahed for Spain. Gordon, Neb., Aug. 15. The Ogallala Sioux at the Pinn Ridge agency in South Dakota had an eviction party the other clay of an unusual kind. In cidentally, they refused the slanders of tne alarmists who predicted out breaks Immediately after the troops were withdrawn from tho Western forts. Far from killing whites, the wily Dacota brave Is taking a lively interest In the war, and no jingo crows loader over the American victor ies than the red metl of the plaint. The eviction resulted from the hostil ity of tho Indian against Spain. On the reseivatlon there lived a Spaniard who was married to a full-blooded Sioux squaw and eked out an existence from the Government's bounty to the squaw and from the little money he picked up at trading nnd hunting. The Span- It Is a marvel how fsorue men will risk their lives by sheer neglect. They sleen awav entirely oblivious of the danger creeping upon them. Men nanny oe made to re. alize that a little sput tering spark of disease which might be stamp. ed out in an instant niay mean death if it lis allowed to keep on, uyspepsia, con stipation and liver complaint i rlil.'

Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is acknowledged as the most wonderful med icine ever devised for those diseases which are caused by Imperfect action of the liver and digestive organs. Mr. F, M, Koblnttt. of Xenoplion, Hancock Co., Term., says in a letter to Dr. Pierce: " I can heartily recommend Dr. Pierce's Qolden Medical Diicovtry for indigedion and torpid liver, I tried different doctors with but little result. I could scarcely eat anything It would put me In such dreadful distress in my stomach, I lisd a dull senior pain in my stomach, and continual hurting behind my shoulders, bad taste In ray mouth, tonjrue coated brown, had faint spells with a tired worn-out feeling. I took eleven bottles of 'Golden Medical Discovery' and re ceived (treat benefit. I am now able 19 work. II it had not liren for this wonderful remedy I be lieve I would not be living to-day." The roost difficult diseases to cure are those which arc aggravated by constipation. In such cases Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets should be taken in conjunction with the " Discovery.

The nows got over the Porcupine Creek tepees where tho Spaniard lived, and the Sioux watched him closely to see tho effect upon him. When he heard the news he was non plussed, but, pulling himself together, he split the air for huzzas for Spain. Tho Idea of anybody shouting for Spain on their territory shocked tho Indians, and they threatened to "wing" him If ho didn't stop. A request wns sent to Mujor Olapp. the ngent at the poet, that the Span lard be expelled. Major Clapp had him brought In by the Indian police nnd questioned him. At first ho denied cheering Spain, but when confronted with tho Indians he dared not lie and tried to excuse himself. "I got these." said Major Clapp. pointing to his shoulder straps, "In tho service of my country, and I rep resent that country here and don't Intend that the flag shall be insulted. I ought to put you In tho guardhouse, but will give you an hour to get off this reservation, and don't come back!" "But my goods are upon Porcupine Creek," said the Spaniard. "I'll sent them to you. Get out!" re plied the Major. The Spaniard lied precipitately. Out side was n squad of Indians waiting for the result of the Interview. When they heard of It they climbed on their ponies and with a "hl-yl" and a war whoop started down the trial pell-mell after the fleeing Spaniard, who was making good tiipe through tho alkali dust to the Nebraska line. The teds overhauled the fleeing rider. They brought their quirts down upon his pony's sides, uttering yells nnd grunts nnd shouting "chitlha" at him the word means no good. For miles they drove the fleeing Spaniard, circling around and yelling like mad at him. Near the State lino they gave him a final hustling, and, amid shouts and yell of derision, drove him out of the reservation. Tho Indians returned to their tepees and had a great jubilation over the event. Next day the Span lard received his traps from the police and drove through this pMce, stopping only long enough to sacrifice hl3 horses and outfit to get railroad fare to take him from tho country.

The open season for shooting woodcock Is the month of July, and from the 15th of October to the 15th of December. It will also be well for some of our over anxious sports to remember that the season for shooting squirrels does not open till October 15. There was a great many violators of this act last year. so much so that several game wardens have been notified this season to put forth all posslblo efforts to bring guilty parties to settle.

There was an occasional halt In tho upward tenden cy and the pi Ice of some loading stock was advanced to a level which Invited unusually heavy olferlngs. But no volume of ofterlngs seemed uiffltlont to cheek the steady upward tendency of tho market nnd everything wns ab sorbed with eagerness. St. Paul took tho lead of the market with a rise of 3',i per sharo and the total transac tions far the day footed up 07,703 shares. The buying of St. Paul was accompanied by ruinora that the next semi-annual dlvldent of 2 per cent. will bo supplemented by nn extra dividend. The preferred stock was bid up to 3i per cent, todav and the high grade bonds of the company were also very strong. But while the St. Paul was the conspicuous center of tho market the other Gran gers were uniformly strong. The buy ing of Northern Pmjifio continued very large and aggressive. Brooklyn Rapid Transit was also heavily bought and a number of tho Industrials, notably Tobacco, some of the Iron and steel companies, New York Air Brjke, thd Rubber stockt, and American Malting were buoyant and active. Tho strength spread from the leaders as the day progressed and embraced a continual Ingrowing list of stocks, most of which show gains of between 1 nnd 2 points and many of them In excess of that. Siigar and Manhattan were depressed throughout. Thero was no special news to account for the rise which were rather due to the growth of ti general conviction that the conclusion of peace will give full scope to the extraordinarily favorable conditions In tho eountry embraced In largo crops at profitable prices, easy money condi tions and a continuing favorable trade balance. The multiplying signs of business activity In all lines strengthen the conviction In tho country's con tinued prosperity. The total sales were 55?,EC0 shares.
