One-Tenth or Those Stationed at New York Leave Not Enough Ice Water Among Grievances. NEW YORK. July 8. (Special.) Forty marines, one-tenth of all those stationed in the Navy-Yard, have de erted. part of a batch of 250 that came back from Guantanamo two weeks ago. Dissatisfaction with the treatment they received while there and the fact that the Navy-Yard paymaster held up their pay until after July 4 are- supposed to be the chief causes of their deser tion. The men disappeared on July . If they have not returned to the yard by July 18 they will be officially branded as deserters, and their descriptions will be posted all over the country, with a notice offering a reward for their re turn. On of the officers at the Marine Barracks expressed the' opinion that dissatisfaction was largely due to the poor food and bad treatment they re ceived at Guantanamo, but the men themselves declare that they- do not like the way they have been treated at the Marine Barracks here. Their particular grievance relates to what happened on the Fourth of July. This has always been counted as the big holiday of the year by the men in the United States service. The usual date for paying of the marines is the first of the month and the men who came back from Guantanamo had four months pay due them, which they ex pected to receive In time to make a holiday of the Fourth. The Navy-Yard paymaster did not pay them off, how ever, and the men were much disap pointed. For dinner on July 4 they only had mutton, potatoes, ice water and a piece of pie. On the recruiting ship Han rock th bluejackets had turkey. Ice cream, fruit, lemonade and cigars. Moreover, they do not like the way they have been drilled during the hot weather. They say that there have been four drills a day. which kept them busy until 3 o'clock. Another grievance concerned the insufficient supply of ice water on holidays.
