CAMP WtKOrP. N. V , Pcpt. 5 The
ttansport Kouninnln , which arrived vcstor-
day morning with fiOO troopn from SantlaRo ,
\\aa the meant ) of an additional test of the
capacity of the hospital In the detention
camp. Of the COO men on the lloumanla
about 200 were so slclt that they had to ho
put In the hospital. The authorities of the
detention hospital , although they knew or
the transport's arrival , hud received no no-
tlco as to the number of sick men they
would bo e\pe'Ctcd to care for About 3
o'clock the ambulances with the sick men
began to arrive at thc hospital The deten
tion hospital will accommodate men ,
with eight rots to a tent , which \t \ the nor
mal capacity Hy putting IPH cots In each
tent 6CO patients can bo taken cnro of , but
with corresponding decreasn of comfort.
At the time of the arrival of the sick men
from the Honmanla the hospital already had
nearly COO patients , and these 200 additional
ones swelled the number to about 8UO , or
210 more than the hospital comfortably can
hold Although there were enough cots for
the SOO sick soldiers , there was not the space
under canvas to place them. Therefore , as
a mattress on the Moor takes ifp less space
than a cot , n number of patients were taken
from cot and placed upon mattrcsdci on the
llnor nnd the cots removed. Mattresses were
alio placed between cots on the floor Con-
tic qircntly this morning about 250 men hre
lying on mattrcpses on the floor , because-
ho lacV of tent space. It does not look as
hough the construction department can put
up moro than ten or fifteen tents todaj ,
consequently It Is probable that some men
will h.ivo to Ho on the floor for several day ?
Whllo the sick men were being taken from
ho lloumanla to the detention hospital two
of them died. They vvuo , Dorgas Uroomer ,

of the Cuban army has returned to Washing

took supplies to the Cubans Ho left this
country before the war was closed and
landed at several points and delivered his
supplies
General Nunez icporls a great deal of dls-
tiess among the Cubans nnd says It will
be still greater on account of the Inability
of the Cubans to forage and raid various
places where they formerly obtained sup
plies The Spaniards are making it difficult
to Mipply food to the Cubans It la done
so'that ' they will compel the latter to take
the provisions by force and stir up trouble
between the Cubans nnd Americans , which
will tend to discredit them. The Spaniards
are tvtiling food shall bo given to their
Immediate people , but do not want It taken

This afternoon ho enters Rio I'edras , one

s making a deep Impression As It wound
ts way o\cr stately mountains , covered
to their summits with coffee and tobacco
plantations nnd through broad savannahs
nnd valleys , General llrooke , with his chief
of staff , rode at the head of the column.
The natives , who had news of the coming
of the Americans , lined the road , their facts
showing their pleasure , although there was
no demonstration At Intervals along the
wa > the Spanish soldiers of the civil guard
presented arms as our troops passed.
Spaniard * * Vr < > < otirlroiiH.
At Cnjey and Caguas the Spanish com
manders iccclved General IJiooke with
marked courtesies and the alcaldes paid of
ficial visits , extending welcomes to their
towns. At Calgues , where 1,000 Spanish
regulars are stationed under command o (
Colonel Rodrlgues , the ceiemony was pre
tentious. The Spanish buglers gave nour
ishes in honor of the major general on his
arrival Houses had been set apart for the
accommodation of General Irooke ! and his
staff. The Infantry and cavalry companies
camped In the outskirts of town were vis
ited by the Spanish soldiers. There was no
display whatever of 111 feeling , Spaniards
and Americans mingled freely , fraternizing
end exchanging buttons as souvenirs. Al
ready many of the American soldiers art
buttonlLss.
Spanish Hags flew at Cajey and Caguas ,
but as guests In an enemy's country our
army showed no colors save the cavalry
guidon. Our stalwart soldiers and massive
horses cause ceaseless wonder to the na
tives , accustomed < to men of small stature
and nimble-footed little ponies.
General Drooko will have arrived here In

Sept , 1 To the Editor of The Hee The re
view of the Seventh arm ) corps In this city
was held yesterday and twentj-three regi
ments , besides the medical stalf und signal
corps , were in line Now It would be use
less for mo to give .1 full report of this
trip , because I am aware > ou have already
published the review- but to give you a
llttlo more Insight In regard to this icvlcw
let mo say that the Tlorlda Times-Union
was In my estimation , absurd In its report
It stated that very few became exhausted
and stood It well The facts In the case
vvero that nearly 1,500 fell put and several
were reported dead , and the following Is Uie
list of these that fainted from the exhaus
tion
Company A , Hlgelow , company K , Tran-
mer , company L , Martin , Dave rischer ,
company M , John Hardy , Collins , Tex S
Svvlck , company K , Palmer , first strgeant ,
and John Houser. Besides this about slxts
fell by the way nnd could not go another
step.
step.This morning It was reported that there
were over 200 on the sick list
Company F reported alone twenty-two on
the sick list and seven in the division hos
pital.
Now I send this to you nnd > ou can put
It Just as it Is vvoided , or jou can change
it to suit jourself but be sure vou get the
correct details This Is a fact and It seems
to me it is a shame that the bojs should
be treated thus. And If Uncle Sam thinks
anything of his boys It Is time something
Is being dona to relieve them fiom this suf
fering I bellevo that this , the Seventh
niruy corps , has fulfilled Its country's call
nnd do not think It Is justice to humanity
to keep them in this Godforhaken coun
try I dare say If a vote of the privates and
ofllcers were > taken It would be a very few
that would not pay this statement Is cor
rect Now I hope that this letter will have
a gieat bearing upon the high officials who
are tesponslble for this absurdity
