They do not stand it any better than volunteers in spite of newspaper reports to the contrary. The paper are not allowed to publish correct sick reports, for they do not show up well. You can gain some idea of the sickness from the number who report for duty in our regiment. Our Company II is the healthiest in the regiment and it reports but twenty-live for duty out of the original one hundred and six.

School children, except the most venturesome, are afraid to appear on the streets after nightfall. It has been given out that a gang of kidnappers are on sentinel duty in different parts of the city. One of the neighborhoods which causes most concern is that near the low ground on Fast Garro street. The children have several eye-witnesses to the fact that three men infest this neighborhood and head off every youthful wanderer. Indeed, several youngsters, have had narrow escapes. The larger boys have organized gangs and visited the spot. One night they not only saw the three kidnappers, but saw them retreat and lay low in the recesses of the swamp. This and other tales have come from the youthful tongue as truth not to be contradicted. ProlilMtioniHt Nointiiate.
