Camp Cuba, Feb. 3, 1899 Each day of camp life brings with it something Interesting for the boys to visit and e peculate over. The more recent of the interesting places discovered by the boys is a yery large cave, near camp, and was first discovered and explored by he now famous. peram nlators, Sergeants Wateoo, Brumley, Barrier, Smith, D?aon, Bnglar Sirs and Corporal Dnnham, all of Co. L. This contingent struck a trail several weeks ago, and after a thorough seaich through the dense shi&bbt'ry, found an entrance to the reat vaccnum beneath . There are several entrances and the cate la prettily ornamented with stellaotitio -.formations and bears some evidence of habitation that is, there are hundred? of bats land crabs and other creatures there. A Cuban resident says tbe cave was used as a place of storage for many years by tbe iB8nrgents, but were finally oust ed. Nearly e?ery Ameiican soldier iu the seventh army corps has visited the place. The cave is a formation of coral end resembles yocanic vultures. It will be remembered that some of the State papers remarked about the scarcity of the scavenger birds, familiarly known as buzzards, in the States. There is evidence conolu sive tnat ihia high soaring bird is in sympathy with Unole Sam; for there are nvllicns of them in and around Havana, and it ia said that their pros tectioa is worth more than all tte physicians in the 8eventh Army Corps. There was a brerzy time in camp fceaterday afternoon when Tom Bnr- le)Bon, of Co. G, was a party to a row, and gathering up his "Neag Keilig" or Kragfc Jorgeson rifle, be gan shooting at his tent mates, who " responded with their ' pistole. Bur- leyeon's bullet missed its mark, and after penetrating the folds of a few tents, struck private Brice in the left leg below the knee, breaking the bones, which will probably necesa- . tate f amputation. Burley&on and and the two other soldiers are now ' in the regimental guard ;house. , The streets of the different regi nienta are now being nicely deco rated with lime rock and white sand studded with cacti and palm plants. The North Carolina Lmd Improvement Company is now doing its most artistic work. Corporal Mike Mabrey has charge of the work in Co. L street. Private Las well J 3rown is now conducting! the Srst battallion barber shop and ia doing a thriving busis ncss. Bnglar Max Barker is the happy - possessor of an elegant set ,.of "goatees." W Ross Cox, of Oo. L, is clerk for Capt. Pruden at the Gospel Tent and is well suited for his poei tiou as assistant chaplain. Private R P Saunders is one of the most popular men in the Corps and is known everywhere for his iel markable oratory. He is always jolly and in gco& humor.

One man was killed and thrjeo wounded in a Nebraska regiment. The enemy carried off parts of the pumpin? aparatus that would have proved a serious inconvenience but they were - i found later and a water famine in Manila will be averted. Gen. Otis has advanced to a circle of about nine miles from the city. - The latest statistics say we lost 49 killed and 148 wounded. j One Dr. Young of the Third Artillery was captured by the enemy and killed and besides was horribly mutilated. The wounded of the enemy that fell into the American's bands are well cared for and are bewildered at such kindness. Gen. Otis "estimates the loss of the enemy in, killed, wounded and captured to be 4,000. It is said to be charcteristio of Gen. Otis in his modesty to underestimate his achivements and the loss of the enemy is believed to be much greater. The enemy seems ereatly de moralized and routed, The im pression prevails that Gen f Otis will follow up his victory with the seizure of Iloilo and Malalos, tbe capital of the native govern- ment. Since all efforts at a con ciliatory course have failed, it is probable that a thorough chastise ment will be inflicted on the Filininos wtien kindness may be accepted.
