THE FEVER IT TAMPA Camp to Be Removed at once to ' Fernandina, BROUGHT FROM SANTIAGO It is Belirved That the Soldiers to Be Moved to Fernandina Will Be Placed in Quarantine There. War Department Officials Generally Regard the Situa- tion as Grave. Washington, D. 0., July 20.--The au- thorities at Washington are alarmed at the prospect of a yellow fever scourge. Despite the best endeavors of the marine hospital service the disease has worked its way into this country and according to reports received here has a. strong foothold at Tampa. Yellow fe- ver has been discovered among the troops at that place or in such close proximity to them that it is believed some of the men are infected. So serious is the situation at Tampa regarded that the department has is— sued orders -to abandon the camp at that place. As soon as the troops that hays been selected for Santiago leave Tampa the balance of the regiment-s there will be rushed 'to Fernandina. The fact that the government is to locate these men at Fernandina leads to the belief that they are to be perma- nently quarantined there. That port was some weeks ago decided to be un- suited for a. general rendezvous, be- cause of the poor-facilities for em- barking troops. The channel is very uncertain, owing to a shifting sand bar, and the special board appointed to examine Fernandina reported that it would be unwise to quarter the men there. It has always been admitted, howev- er ,that Fernandina is specially well adapted for quarantining troops owing to the fact that it is located on a strip of projecting land which is connected with the main coast by a. single rail— All communication can thus It is therefore be- lieved that the men who are to be ta- ken to Fernandina are to be quaran— tined on account of yellow fever among them. The officials have all along contended that the officers of the marine hospital service would be able to prevent yel- low fever from getting into the country, but they reluctantly admit that once it gets into the interior the situation would be very serious. Yellow feVer stations have been es- tablished at Egmond Bay, near Tam- pa, and at an island near Key West, where it was the intention to confine all persons infected with the dreaded disease. It is now said that the pre- cautions against the spread of the fe- ver have not been stringent enough. Officers and men who have seen ser- vice at Santiago have been arriving in this city every day for the past week. Some have come direct from hospitals at Kev West, while others have been in the hospitals and sick camps at San- tiago. If any of these men have been infected by the germs of the fever abundant opportunities have been af- forded for the spread of the disease. The matter has been called to the at- tention of the officers of the marine. hospital service and it is thought that some very stringent rules will soon be enforced in regard to the admission of soldiers returning from Santiago. The statement that yellow fever can— not be carried into northern climates is ridiculed by prominent medical men here. They have records of cases where men haVe died away up in the moun- tains of Pennsylvania from sleeping on the cots used by yellow fever patients, and they say that once the fever is in- troduced here it will be hard to check its progress, as the soldiers from the Infected districts are now pretty well scattered throughout the country. . COAST DEFENSES. Are More Effective as Means of Protec- tion Than Warships. Washington, July 20.——T-he military and naval experts say that several im— portant lessons in ordnance and forti- fications are furnished by the cam- paign against Santiago. It ispointed out that the long contentions between the relative merits of land fortifica- tions and, naval ships as a means of mast defence have received much light by recent operations. When Admiral Sampson was chief 3f the ordnance bureau of the navy de— partment he held that the most effect- ive means of defending coasts was by means of warships rather than coast defences. It is said, however, that the Spanish defence of Santiago harbor has demonstrated that coast defences are even more effective than warships. The batteries of Morro Castle, So- capa and others, aided by the mining and torpedoing of the harbor, were effective in preventing the American fleet from entering the harbor, and this despite the fact that the Spanish guns were in no sense fortification arma- ment. It is said by some of the ex— perts that if Morro had possessed the large modern fortification guns such as those protecting New York or Boston, It would have been able not only to have defended Santiago, but to have done serious damage to the attacking fleet. \. 'Dmh Tax Law Ruling. A 0",. Washington, July 20.--The commis- sioner of internal revenue yesterday with the approval of the attorney gen- eral, promulgated a ruling tothe effect that all documents, certificates, checks, etc.. of whatever nature, otherwise tax- able, drawn in the transaction of offi- cial business, need not be stamped.

"' news FROM CHICKAMAucs. Two Divisions Ready to Leave Camp Thomas for Charleston. Chattanooga, Tenn., July 20.--Prepa- rations are going on'unabated to move troops from Chickamauga. General Brooke arrived from Washington yes- terday and it is generally understood at headquarters that he will immedi- ately issue orders for the removal ‘of two divisions of his First Corps to Charleston. The wagon trains and stock of Gen- eral I-Iains, Second brigade, have all gone to Charleston, and this brigade will doubtless follow 'to-day or to-mor- row. Colonel Rockwell, chief ordnance of- ficer, says that he has received ord- nancestores sufficient to complete equipping the First Corps, and that by noon to-day these stores will be duly ”distributed. ' Five carloads of ordnance stores ar- rived yesterday, including one car of rifles and revolvers from the Columbia. arsenal, two cars of general equippage from the Rock Island arsenal and two cars of ammunition, a total of 1,000,000 rounds from the Frankland arsenal of Philadelphia. By the last of this week the entire two divisions of General Brooke’s corps will be on their way to the front. In all probability General W'ade will re- main in command of the Camp Thomas army and «General Brooke will devote himself to seeing that the army moves away promptly. ‘ Railroad cars have been placed in position and there will be no delay in moving troops when the order is given. Arrangements are being perfected for a banquet and smoker to be given soon by the members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at the park. Adju- tant T. M. Cobb of the Fifth Missouri began the movement yesterday, and he will be assisted by Lieutenant William J. Nixon of the Third Tennessee, who is another enthusiastic fraternity man. Nearly every regiment in the park will be represented at the banquet. Troops to Embark at New York. New York, July 20.--Orders from Washington were received at the Army building yesterday directing that the three transports, Massachusetts, Michi~ gan and Roumania, ,which are to take the troops to Porto Rico, shall not be sent to Newport News and Tampa, where it was intended to embark the troops. The orders directed that the vessels should be kept here and said that the troops would be sent here at an early date for embarkation. GERMANY NOT HOSTILE. Dewey’s Dispatch Saying No Change Had Occurred. Washington, July 20.--At yesterday’s cabinet meeting a dispatch from Admi- ral Dewey was read, stating that there was no change in the situation at Ma- nila~ It was the opinion of the members of the cabinet that he‘ report of strains ed relations between Admiral Dewey 'and the German admiral is without any foundation, in fact. This is indicated by the fact that Admiral Dewey’s dis- patch was’taken to Hong Kong by a German warship. Both the president and Secretary Day are said to have assured the cabi- net members- that nothing of an aggra- vating nature had occurred at Manila between the Americans and Germans. It is not stated officially, but there is good reason to believe that either through Ambassador White at Berlin or the representative of the German government here, the stato’department has received assurancs as to the atti- tude of Germany toward the Philip- pines that have removed the grave apprehension heretofore entarteined that Germany would offer obstacles to the execution of our plans. It may be that they are based upon facts communicated by Admiral Dewey as to messages between himself and the German admiral in the Philippines, for it is known that for politic reasons the navy department withheld from publi- cation a large and important section of Dewey’s last cablegram received sev- eral days ago. The reported negotiations between the insurgent leader, Aquinaldo, and the Spanish captain general, Augustin, have not yet been reported ofllcially to our government. Plans at Santiago. Washington, July 20.--A general out- line of the future work of the Santiago forces has been semi-officially stated at the war department. The plan contemplates having Gene- ral Shafter remain at Santiago until the Spanish forces have withdrawn- from the surrendered territory and em- barked for Spain. This will about com- plete the work assigned to the general, and he will be allowed to return to the United States. Who will succeed him in command is yet a matter of specula- tion, all of the senior officers being h- vorably spoken of for the cammand. General Shafter, it is thought, can complete his work in about a. month. The work of the Santiago army, however, is not finished. If present ar- rangements are carried out, the army will, for a time, encamp on the high hills in the vicinity of Santiago. After a. complete rest, operations‘will be re- sumed. This contemplates the occu- pation of any important Spanish posts in the vicinity, the examination of the roads, repairing and extension of rail- roads and the establishment of bases of supplies. The movement, it is understood, will be made in the direction of Havana, all possible measures being taken to iso- late that city. From the outlook at present, however, it seems that this army will see much more important service. The occupation of Santiago proper it is generally believed, will be assigned to two regiments of immunes. Big Contract for Bay.

AFTER THE SURRENDER. Starving Refugees Flock Into the-City for Aid. Santiago de Cuba, via Playa del Este, July 20.--Refugees in armies are flock- ing into the city. The Red Cross will feed 40,000 to~night. A strong guard has trouble in keeping the starving citizens from the stores which are being landed. The 1,400 tons tributed by water. Miss Barton reports that Robert Douglas of Kingston, a. Wealthy citi- zen, has given his home at Santiago to the Red Cross for a. headquarters. One thousand tons of provisions additional are expected to arrive in a few days. We expect to ship the Spanish army before the 24th of July. The Spanish ships now available for transports in the harbor are the Mexico, with ac— commodations for 1,000 men, the Reina Isle, Los Angeles Mortera, and San Juan, which are small, and can take only 600 each. American transports probably will be necessary. Admiral Sampson on the Vixen entered Santia- go harbor yesterday for a conference with General Shafter concerning the transportation of the Spanish troops. The correspondent Scovel was taken was confined for striking General Shaf- ter, to Siboney under a. small guard in the tug Colon. He may be tried ,here or taken a prisoner to the United States. The contact torpedoes now have all been lifted, but the cable torpedoes are still in the harbor. General Shaffer stopped the press Santiago wire yesterday until further orders. The city has a holiday appear- ance. The tarnished Spanish welcome :he Americans. Only the captain of the port, Miller, has disproved the friend- ly manifestations. He wildly declares that General Toral will be punished by Spain.

There is no fever in the city, but there are ten or fifteen deaths every day from starvation. The Spanish arms from the front have been stored in the middle of a park of artillery. MILES WAS DELAYED. Secretary Alger Expects the Expedition to Start at Once. Washington, July 20.--At the cabinet meeting yesterday a. cablegram was read from General Miles dated M011- day night, regarding the Porto Rico expedition. Secretary Alger, who left considerably in advance of the remain- der of the cabinet, said General Miles wired he doubtless would get off to- day. The secretary announced to the cabinet that the landing of the first force would\be effected under cover of the big guns of the navy and that re- inforcements would follow the first landing and make upa fully adequate force for the assault. The secretary would not go into de— tails concerning the‘Porto Rican ex— pedition, but said be fully expected it would start at once on its mission. Secretary Long announced that he had no important dispatches, but that general instructions had been issued to the fleet to render the fullest co-opera- tion with .the army in attacking Porto Rico. Secretary Alger said that the plans expedition were .being executed without the slightest hitch. Genera-l Miles’s failure to get away on the Yale Mon— day was brought about through some confusion in the telegraphic orders. It is expected that he has already sailed from Siboney for Porto Rico. He has with him Captain Fred Alger, son of the secretary, who has been trans- ferred to General Miles’s staff from the staff of General Duffield. Secretary Alger declined to publish Tthe list of troops that comprise the Porto Rican expedition. He said that it was still subject to change and that this information will be withheld for a few days. , The First Illinois is the only regi- mmt known here to have actually gone to Porto Rico with General Miles. The Resolute Sails. New York, July 20.--The armed sup- ply vessel Resolute, heavily ladened, left this port direct for Santiago last evening. The vessel has on board a large supply of the necessities and many of the luxuries of life. Captain Eaton is in charge. Captain Kimball of.the quartermaster’s department has placed on board many thousand suits of underclothing, 10,000 pairs of socks, 2,000 pairs of shoes and 2,000 blankets, among other things. Lieutenant Aristides Agramonte of this city is in charge of the medical supplies and will establish the’ first bacteriological laboratory on the is- land of Cuba. Major Sommers, with. twenty-five immunes, from the Second Tennessee regiment, will have control of the work of fighting the fever in Cuba. There board. The Pelayo in Tow. Marseilles, July 20.--A steamer which has just arrived here reports having sighted on July 16, off the coast of Tunis, the Spanish fleet commanded by Admiral Camara. As the steamer passed the battleship Pelayo a column of smoke suddenly issued from her and from the fact that a. cruiser had to take the Pelayo in tow it is. evident that the most pow- erful warship of Spain has been dam- aged. Bonds at a Premium. ; New York, July 20.--The price of the new government war bonds has ad- vanced slightly. One prominent Wall street house is bidding 102 3- 4 for them and selling at 103. The latest inf01ma- tion from Washington is to the effect that none of the bids for $5,000 or over will, get awards. The bids for $500 and less have passed the $100,000,000 mark.
