AFFAIRS l1 SANTIAGO Surgeon General Reports Many Cases of Fever. _— A NEW. FIELD HOSPITAL The Dihpute Concerning the Ships Taken in the Harbor Decided in Favor of Gen. Shatter. A Town Taken by the Cubans.. The Price of Bread Fixed. The Dis- count on Silver. Many Cases of Fever Reported. Santiago de Cuba, July 27.--A new field hispital will be established in the vicinity of General Shafter’s hedquar- ters, near the trenches. The surgeon general says that there are, roughly, 2,000 cases 'of fever, 500 of which are 01' yellow fever. ' Colonel Watson, commissarit, has been appointed chief of the custom house. The dispute between Rear Admiral Sampson and General Shafter regard- ing the prizes in Santiago harbor, has been settled in favor of General Shaf- ter. The four merchantmen and the gu‘nboat, it is decided, were included in th‘e capitulation of the city, and are military prizes. ‘ Colonel Howard of the Eighth Ohio, dissatisfied with inaction at Santiago, has cabled to President McKinley, ask- ing that his corps .be put into active service in Porto Rico or ordered home. At Songa, a small town eighteen miles from Santiago, on the railway line, a Spanish garrison of 350 men, commanded by Captain Carhaval, sur- rendered yesterday on being informed of the capitulation of General Toral. The surrender was made to the Cu- bans, and General Castillo’s men will occupy the town. Dr. Joaquin Castillo leaves in a few days for Washington with a petition by the Cuban residents of Santiago, re- garding the exclusion of the Cuban 8- my from the town. General Wood to-day issued orders prohibiting the collection of a munici- pal tax. The local Spanish authorities were collecting a tax on merchants’ goods for consumption, also a small tax on packages, The local board for harbor improve~ ment purposes had intimated to the civil govern-or that no taxes had been authorized. General Shafter has issued a, procla- mation ordering every householder to immediately report to the mayor or military governor any death occurring in his household, a penalty for failure being fixed at thirty days hard labor in the streets. All policemen are or- dered to report cases of malignant ‘dis- eases in their district and all unsani- tary conditions. Bakers will be allowed .to charge only twenty cents, Spanish, for a pound loaf of bread. This is made necessary by the famine prices which are charged for bread. Many cargoes of flour have come in, making excessive charges for bread unnecessary. The Spanish store keepers still dis- count United States silver 50 per cent. Some refuse to take it at all. DiSPQSEQ-DF SHAETER’S_MEN4L_5 ‘— . Surgeon Sternberg in Favor of Montauk Point. . Washington, July 28.--Surgeon Gene- ral Sternberg has reported 'to Secretary Alger favorably on the selection of Montauk Point as an encampment for the troops under General Shaffer in Santiago. The report says that the 10— cality is healthful, cooled by breezes from the ocean, ample in area for the purpose, having a fine port, and easily supplied with good water. There has been objection to the selection of Mon- tauk by army surgeons, some of whom‘ have gone so far as to intimate that‘ political and commercial interests prompted the suggestion. They declare that the loose, sandy soil, the absence of shade. and the presence of mosqui- toes more than counterbalance any ad— vantages the place may possess. An effort is obviously making by these men to connect in some way the Aus— tin (‘crbin estate with the personality of Adjutant General Corbin and to make this a basis for attributing the choice of the place to favoritism. The Camp at Tampa Abandoned. Tampa, July 28.-—Acting on a recom- mendation made by General Coppinger, the war department has ordered the removal of all the troops from Tampa. who are not included in the number to be sent to Porto Rico on the expedi- tion now in preparation. There are still in Tampa abourt eleven thousand soldiers; the expedition to Porto Rico will carry six thousand men, including the Fifth Unitel States cavalry, the Fifth United States infantry, two bat- rteries of the Seventh artillery and a brigade under General Hudson, con- sisting of the Fifth, Maryland, Second Georgia, and} First Florida. volunteer regiments. The other troops here are detachments of the First, Second and Third United States cavalry, four troops of Roosevelt‘s Rough Riders, the Third Pennsylvania, First Ohio, and One Hundred and Fifty-seventh Indi- ana regiments, all of whom are to be sent to Savannah immediately. Peace Talk in Spain. Madrid, July 28.--It is reported that the government will protest to the powers against the continuance of the American campaign by landing troops in Porto Rico after Spain has sued for peace. The cabinet yesterday considered the consequences which are likely to ensue from the landing of the Americans in Porto Rico. Senor Aunon, minister of marine, says that Admiral Cervera and his 01- ficers will not return to Spain with the officers and men from Santiago, but| will be brought home after peace nego- tiations are opened with the United States. The Spanish Transatlantic line stea- mers which are to bring the Santiago troops back to Spain have started for Cuba. ' Whiskey for the Klondike. Seattle, July 28.--The steamer Roa- noke. has sailed for St. Michael. She carried fifteen passengers, sixteen tons of freight, which included 6,000 gallons of whiskey for Dawson City. 5 THE sraes OF GIBRALTAR. *1 The Unsuccessful Attempt of Spa!- to no. gain the Fortress. ' The most memorable siege'ln history was the unsuccessful «attempt of Spain to regain in 1779 the fortress of Gib- raltar, which England- had taken by storm a few years before. For three years and seven months tlie strong- hold was invested by a large force of all arms,oand a practically uninter- rupted fire from 135 guns, including some fifty mortars of thirteen-inch cal- ibre, was maintained from January 12, 1780, till February 2, 1783. Meanwhile the gallant little garrison ' was only once relieved, and suffered all the pangs of starvation, not .unmingled with a feeling of despair; still they clung to the gigantic rock, repelling attack after attack with indomitable courage and endurance, and inflicting enormous losses on their opponents. The most interesting and exciting episode during this long siege was the ferocious attempt made by the Span- iards toward the ' close, when they strained every nerve to dismay and overcome the already exhausted but still unflinching garrison. More than 50,000 troops and 170 pieces of ord- nance of large calibre were at the dis- posal of the Spanish general, and an ingenious type of floating batteries, strongly resembling the famous “cheese boxes on rafts” of the late war, had been devised by the Dons, who expected great things of them in the meditated assault. The numbers of the opposing forces were ludicrously disprOportionate. Be- sides the above mentioned troops and guns the Spanish possessed nine line- of—battleships, fifteen gun or mortar boats, severed boats sufficient to land nearly 40,000 men, and in addition the ten floating batteries, which consisted of large vessels, their sides protected by.a banking of timber seven feet thick, and the decks and guns screened with a slanting roof of shot-proof ma- terial: - « To this gigantic armdment the de- fense could‘ only oppose some 7,000 men, many of them sick or wounded, and all reduced to scanty rations for many months past; ammunition was limited, and the cannon even then were antiquated. On September 8,4782, fire was opened on the fortress at a preconcerted sig- nal by the entire strength of the Span- ish artillery, both on. land and afloat. T'he floating batteries were moorer‘ within half-range and proved indeer‘ invulnerable to shot and shell, whic‘: lasted all night and day until late or the 12th. .On that day the garrison unable to make any impression on th' fleet, whose efforts were beginning tr give the small force of defenders con siderable trouble and inconvenience conceived the brilliant idea of loading: their guns with red-hot shot and burn- Iug shells, which, though .of little or nr penetrating power, turned out to b. very effective against the wooden side of the battleships and. gunboats; ir. fact, within a very few hoursevery one of the floating batteries lay .per— tectlyquiescent on the water, a. useless mass of burning hulks. 5 .The endeavors and energy of the de- tenders finally prevailed over the vast numerical superiority of their oppon- ents,’and on the 14th of the month the desperately conducted attack was given up and the Spanish troops retired to their lines, severely crippled by the enormous losses they had. suffered, winter quarters were taken up, he bombardment practically abandoned, and peace was declared on the 2d of February following. Thus ended the most memorable siege that can be found in the pages of history; remarkable for many reasons, .but most of all for the small loss of life among thedefenders, who, during the three years and a half that the investment lasted, lost in all but 500 men, while they inflicted on the enemy a. total loss of several thousand lives. Military Courage, 1 The Question of the comparative pro- portion. of really brave men _in any army will probably never be determin- ed. Great officers on the Continent keep their knowledge on that subject rigorously as a professional secret, and assume as a certainty that all soldiers are brave. They know very well, how- ever, that they are not, and when con- fidential will admit, as Marshal von Moltke once did in public, that with a great number it takes discipline, and severe discipline, too, to induce them to face shells unshrinkingly. Ameri- can ofliars have been known to ac- knowledge that of their men, who are as brave as any in the world, 20 per cent. would Fun away if they could, and in every army, even .ours, which a. man enters only of free will, there Is a certain proportion who literally .aannot overcome their fears. They are stricken with a sort of paralysis. The proportion is probably not high in any army, the majority, if in health, being able to do their duty, and having in- tense motives to do it; but neither is ‘ the proportion high of those who lit- erally feel no fear. There are such men who do not quite understand what the emotion is, as there are also some who have in extreme danger a sense of pleasure, which sometimes not only quickens their blood, but distinctly increases their intellectual force. This is said to have 'been true of Gen. Picton, who, though a hard, rough man, was an ‘angel when bullets were about”; and was undoubtedly true of the first Lord Gough, who had a trick, highly disa- greeable to his staff, of seeking points at full exposure .to the’enemy’s fire. "Yes,” she sighed, .“for many year. We suffered from dyspepsia.” “And you ”don’t take anything for it?” her friend asked. “You look nealthy enough.” "Oh,’.’ she replied, “it’s my husband that had it " . o v v r—wi ‘“ I F; .A ; 1:3 E E V ERNIIENG. ‘ G .1"an Terran Things You Can'llo. Just as Well as a Learned Physician. Often it is needless to consult a doctor. ' At such times you can treat yourself just as well as the most learned physi- cian. When a .man or woman is sufier- ing from Kidney disease,the doctor asks: “ Do you desire to urinate often, and are you compelled to get up frequently at night to make water? Do you have pains in the small of the back? Does your urine stain linen? Is there a scald- in pain in passing water, and is it difficult to hold the urine back? ” If the answer is "Yes” to any of these ques- tions, your Kidneys are diseased and decay has set in. Ask yourself these questions. and answer them. _There is another thing you can do. Put some of your urine in a glass tumbler or bottle, and let it stand 24 hours. If there is a sediment or powder-like sub- stance at the bottom, or a. cloudy appearance, there is grave danger. Your Kidneys are surely affected. Sufierers with any of the above 5 mptoms ought to be glad to know that Dr. David Ken- nedy’s Favorite Remedy will surely relieve and cure even the most distress- ing cases. No living physician can pre- scribe a medicine for Kidney, Bladder, Liver and Blood that equals Favorite Remedy—not one. Nearly all who drink beer or whiske have diseased Kidneys, but Favorite emedy removes the bad effects, and it also does away with the use of instruments for shing back the sandy matter so that t e urine may pass freely from the bladder.
