We can t fight It anywhere else as well a there. Undertake to bring them back to this country, and it would Infect every transport we have and if we brought them back, where would we land them. There la no city on the coast that would not rise in arms at the very suggestion of landing a fever-Infected army wunin s , limns. 1 "Besides, there to no reason to bellev that a removal at this time would be 01 advantage to the men themselves. No, the best and only thing we can do Is to fight the fever on Its own ground and until it Is driven out of the army It would be madness to bring the army back to this country. "The administration would welcome nothing more cordially than the opportu nity to bring the men who tought so bravely at Santiago back home and give thorn the best camp to be had In the best climate the country affords, but It is their conclusion that for the present at least, and so long as the fever rages, the Fifth corps will have to be kept where It is. As evidence that It Is not intended to use the transports at Santiago to return the men there to his country, an order has ben sent to General Shafter to have all the ships he hiw with him sent back here at once for use in transporting the Porto RIcan expedition.
