Tampa, Fla, Aug. 3.—At «daylight
yesterday morning the Sixth cavalry
.began breaking camp and loading bag-
gage a tents into cars. There are
.four troops of this regiment, but as no
horses were carried by the troops sent
to Santiago, the men left here have had
to care for the 1,200 horses belonging to
the regiment. Everything was loaded
and the regiment started for Fernan-
dina in the afternoon
Transports hav-c begun to arrive at
Port Tampa, and the movement from
Tampa to Porto Rico will begin as
soon as the ships can be loaded. The
Arkansas began loading with grain,
hay and oommissary supplies on Mon-
day, and will be the first to leave. The
side-wheel steamer Clinton and the
Mallory steamer San Marco were ro-
leaspd from quarantine last night and
as soon as coaled will begin loading.
The SaratOga. is expected up to-day and
will also ‘begin loading. ,
One regiment of regular cavalry, one
of regular infantry, three of volunteer
infantry and six batteries of artillery
will constitute the force that will sail

Situation at Newport.
No1;olk,Va., Aug. 3.——General Grant’s
brigade of nearly 4,000 men encamped
at Newport, is getting restless. Sick-
ness, too, has broken out among the
troops, and several men are sent to
the field hospital at Fort Monroe ev-
ery day. Several typhoid and malarial
fever patients were removed to the.
-hospital to-day and there are many
cases of mumps and measles. Three
patients were sent away from the One
Hundred and Sixtieth Indiana, nine
from the First Kentucky and forty
from the Third Kentucky The delay
in starting to Porto Rico is due to the
absence of the transports, the Hudson
being the only one here at present.
Large amounts of stores, clothing and
ammunition were sent from the com-
missary department at Norfolk yester-
day from Newport News; but will have

Washington, D. 0., Aug. 3.—General
Shatter has been officially called down
by the secretary of war for his con-
duct in permitting our troops to be sent
home from Santiago in vessels that
were not in fir ‘ ndition :to convey them
home, vesse ‘- inadequately supplied
with the necessities of life, without
pure water and with'Out medicines or
sufficient medical attendance.
General Corbin said last night: “I
have done everything in my power to
have the sick soldiers brought home as
they should have been and I have been
greatly distressed at the reports of the
conditions of things on the Seneca and
Concho.
“Matters reached a climax last eve-
rflng," continued General Corbin, ”when
the secretary of war senttan official dis-
patch to General Shatter informing
him of the reports here as to the con-
dition of the Concho and the sick sol—
diers on this vessel, and telling him that
he Would have to be prepared to an-
swer for himselfany criticisms that
might arise and vindicate his cause at
the end of the line. General Shafiter
was also ordered not to permit any
sick soldiers in «the future to be brought
to this country except on vessels suita-
ble for their conveyance, and that here-
after all such ship-s must be providedl
with all the necessaries in the way of
food supplies and medicines and be in
charge of a commissioned officer and a
regular army surgeon.”
g" Allotment of. Bonds.
Washington, Aug. 3.—It'was learned
yesterday at the treasury department
that 'there is now little doubt that sub-
scriptions for war‘ revenue bonds,
ranging in amount from $2,500 to $3,500,
will be allotted. This will be good news
to the subscribers, who, while they do
not come under the head of small sub-
scribers, who took amounts ranging
from $50 to $100, do not represent the
banking interests. .It was believed, not
long ago, that allotments of $5,000
would be made, afterward this amount
was reduced to $4,500, and now a still
further reduction is made.
It is not believed that any subscrip-
tion over $3,500 will be rewarded with
an allotment of bonds.

Narre, subsequently taking the train
for Paris without molestation, seems
to have deserted the train while on his
way to this city, for all inquiries as to
his whereabouts are of no avail.

TWHOID FEVER AT CAMP ALGER.
The Entire Second Division to Be Moved.
Two Deaths.
Washington, Aug. 3.——The typhoid fe-
ver epidemic at Camp Alger continues
to spread, and orders have been issued
'to move the entire Second Division to
farms south of the present camp site.
The Second Division now occupies the
camp originally selected. It has been
found that the removal of the First-di-
vision to Dun Loring has not accom—
plished .the desired results, as all but
one of the wells drilled there have
been condemned. Two typhoid patients
died yesterday. They Were Privates
A. W. Stockholm, Company G, Thir-
teenth Pennsylvania, and Fred Fay,
Company G, Twelfth Pennsylvania.
Forty suspected cases were reported
and there are fifty men of the One Hun-
dred and Fifty- ninth Indiana, in addi-
tion to these, who show slight symp-
toms of typhoid. Of the 106 men in
Company G, Twelfth Pennsylvania, on-
ly forty-eight could report for duty yes-
terday. -
The plans for a review of the corps
by the president have been abandoned
until the change of camping grounds
has been completed. The review by
Secretary Alger will follow both of
these events.

EXTRA SESSION NOT EXPECTED.
Senate to Meet to Ratify a Treaty.
Washington, Aug. 3.—There probably
will be no extra session of Congress,
though the Senate will have to be cal-
led together for prompt ratification of
the treaty of peace if the present plans
of the president prevail. It is stated at
the White House- that unless there
should be some extraordinary develop-
ment, the House will not meet until it
convenes in regular session next De-
cember. This statement, made on the
authority of the president'himself, in
an answer to personal inquiiries, is «the
contradiction to reports current among
public men that Congress will soon
meet to draft legislation to meet the
demands that will follow the close of
the war, as well as to give formal as-
sent on 'the part of the Sen-ate to the
treaty.
GOAL MINERS RES'FL ESS.
'Threatened Labor Troubles in the Pitts-
burg District.
Pittsburg, Aug. 3.—If the coal opera-
tors of the Pittsburg district do not
conform with the terms of the Chicago
agreement by August 10, 5,000 miners
will be ordered to strike. This is the
decision of the conventiofr of United
Miners of this district, now in session
here. A series of strikes are to be in-
augurated in the Young district, the
third pool, and if it is at all possible
the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
Company will be compelled to pay a
penalty for mining coal at a rate lower
than provided for in the agreement.

State Department “Makes Public
the Answer to Spain.
NO REPLY YET _'RECEIVED
Evacuation of Cuba, the Cesslon of Porto
Rico and One of the Ladruues, and
Occupation of Manila Pending Final
Decision as to the Future of the Philip-
pines. Status of the Negotiations.
Washington, August 3.—-—The following
statement was given out at the state
department late yesterday:
"In order to remove any misappre-
hension in regard to the negotiations
as to peace between the United States
and Spain. It is deemed proper to say
that the terms offered by the United
States to Spain in the note handed to
the ,French ambassador on Saturday
last are in substance as follows;
“The president does not now put for
ward any claim for pecuniary indem
ni‘ty, but requires the relinquishment
of all claim of sovereignty over, or ti-
immediate evacuation try-Spain of the
island; the-cession to the United States
and immediate evacuation of Porto Ri—
co and other islands under Spanish
sovereignty in the West Indies; and the
like cession of an island in the La-
'drounes. The United States will hold
and occupy the city, bay and harbor of
Manila, pending the conclusion of a
treaty of peace which. shall determine
the control, disposition and. govern-
ment of the Philippines.
“If these tern s are accepted by Spain
in their entirety, it is stated‘that com-
missioners will be named by the Uni-
‘Vted States to meet commissioners 011
the part of Spain for the purpose of
concluding a treaty of peace on the ba-
sis above indicated.”
As will be observed, the statement
shows that the announcement of .the
administration plan in these dispatches
last 'Weduesday afternoon was authen-
tic. The only point of divergence is the
inclusion in yesterday‘s statement of a
proposal to retain possession of one is-
land ln the Lndrone group.
The Ladrone clause is inserted in the
terms of peace as a sort of make
weight. If Spain consents to all the
Test of the terms and stands out on the
Ladrone question, she can have this
whole group of islands back intact for
the asking.
As a. matter of fact we have no-use
whatever for Guam or any other La-
drone island in its neighborhood. If we
should establish a coaling station there
we should probably pay a good round
sum for the expense of stocking it up
and supplying it with necessary de-
fences, and then we shouldlfind that
it lay too far off the track of any com-
merce now in progress, or any 11 which
we are likely to engage. This is the
prophecy made by men who have made
a study of the Eastern question on its
commercial as well as its military side
and from the point of view of the Uni-
ted States, some of those who are most
Ladrones Or any part of them are nev-
ertheless strong advocates of our pos-
Sessing 'and holding the Philippines,
which shows that their view of the La-
drone question is not due to any preju-
dice against the imperialistic or colo-
nial idea as a. whole. ’
The supposition has been from the
start that the Spanish government
would stickle over the terms of peace
when first presented, no matter how
severe or how mild they might be.
Under these circumstances it might be
desirable to give Spanish pride a
bridge ,on which-to cross the abyss of
total disaster. With the lack of geoa
graphical knowledge among the Span-
ish people, if the Madrid cabinet should
say, “We have secured an important
modification of the proposals as first
presented, the Americans were glad to
yield what we asked.for the sake of
making peace,” it would help Madrid
out of a bad place and it would not do
Washington any hunt, and-the Ladrone
feature of the peace terms could be
used for the purpose ofvconceding the,
“important modification,” and afford—
ing Madrid a cue for harmless but per-
haps necessary dramatics.
Spain Accepts
London, Aug. 3.—The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail says. “The
government has accepted “the principle
of the American conditions, but the ac-
ceptance will not be made public until
inquiries to Washington. on matters of
detail have been settled, thus rounding
off the preliminary basis.”
The Gibraltar correspondent of the
Daily News, telegraphing Monday eve-
ning, says: “The censorship is daily
becoming. more severe, and little is
known beyond the fact that peace is
assured. It is understood that the note
from America asks only part of the
Philippines, and that, Senor Sagasta
having replied that the terms will be
accepted, hostilities are consequently
suspended
President Has Not Received Acceptance
Washington, Aug. 3.—(Sp'ecial.,)—-At
11.30 last night a member of the cabi-
net who had just left the president said
that not a. word had been received of
the Spanish acceptance of the peace
terms of the United States, which Lon-
; don announces is a fact.
The United States Will Settle.
Washington, Aug. 3.—It is understood
to be the present intention of the ad-
ministration to assume-liability for all
the indebted claims preferred by Amer-
ican citizens against Spain on account
of injury to personal property in Cuba.
Some part of this liability may be im-
posed upon the government of Cuba
later on, when that shall have been es-
tablished, and may include such cases
as can be directly charged up' against
the insurgents, Where they have de-
stroyed the property of American citi-
zens in the course of their operations. ,

Special Correspondence
Major Joseph W. Wham, p-aymaster
in the United States army, has been un-
der a strange and distressing sentence
since 1894, when President Cleveland. in
mitigating a sentence of diSmissal, de-
cided that Major W'ham should be Sus—
pended from duty until 1904 at half pay.
Recently Major Wham’s friends
brought forward a bill to restore him
to duty, which could only be done by
setting aside the court martial finding.
The bill was passed by the House, hav-
Ang‘ been recommended by Secretary
Alger, who had examined the history
of the case and concluded that the man
had been. too severely punished. The
House took that view of the case, for it
seems from the accounts of it in the
report which was [made to Congress
that Wham’s army record was good
from the time he was a private soldier
during the rebellion; that he had- since
that time distinguished himself for sol-
dierly qualities, and that the transac-
tion for which he was court martialed
was one with a private citizen involving
the question of the payment of a ndte
of $1,000. Wham neglected to make the
proper defence in the case brought
against him for payment of the $1,000,
and he was very vigorously prosecuted
as soon as he ventured to become a.
candidate for paymaster general of
the army. ‘ During the debate this was
alluded to, and there was also some
rather vague criticism of the composi-
tion of the court martial. Some mem~
bers of the House objected to paying
Major Wham his full salary for the
years he had not served, but Mr. Ray
of New York very quickly suggested
that if he had been improperly or
wrongfully sentenced, the government
ought to pay him, in justice, as the re-
storation to the pay roll was an ad-
mission that he should never have been
taken from it. ‘ u. ..._....
Gen. Henderson’ 5 Kindness.
General Henderson, “Dave" Hender-
son, as his intimates call him, who has
represented the Third Iowa district
since the Forty-eighth Congress, is one
of the best liked and most popular men
in Congress. He is said to have been
absolutely fearless and brave in action,
during his service in the civil war, yet
his heart is as tender as a woman’s.
and men who fought under him tell
stories of his kindness and sympathy
for his boys who were wounded,
One poor fellow in his command was
shot through the lungs when loading
his gun, and fell to the ground shriek—
ing and cursing with pain. The wound
was, of course, mortal, the service of
the surgeon of no avail, so the chaplain
was brought to comfort and prepare
'him for death. When General Hender—
son arrived on the scene he found the
dying soldier still shrieking and curs-
ing and the chaplain busy with his
prayers, exhorting the poor victim to
stop cursing and prepare for death,
saying that he might be damned if he
Went into the presence of his make:
blaspheming. The chaplain’ s ministra-
tions Were as perfunctory as mssible.
and waving him aside, General Hen-
derson sat down by the side of the
dying man.
“You are a hero, my brave fellow,”
he said, laying his strong hand upon
the poor writhing form, “just as great
a hero as though you died at the front
by the enemy’s bullets. You have giv-
en your life for your country, man
nobly given it, and your country will
be grateful. Let that console you. Grit
your teeth and die like a brave soldier.
like the here that you are.”
“Is that'true, colonel? Is that true?”
gasped the dying man. “Am I dying
for my country? God bless you for
those words of comfort. -God bless you
and thank you, sir,’ a'nd smiling peace-
fully the poor fellow lay back on his
pillow and the few moments left him
were passed in contentment.
' New Postzofllccs.
. The postofiice department always re-
flects, in its list of new postoffices some
of the popular feeling. 'Occasionally it
reflects something else, but when he-
roes are being made the postoffice de-
partment finds it out. Since the recen:
war broke out there has been a distinct
tendency to prove this. Immediately
after the capture: of Manila the naming”
of postoffices for Dewey began, and it
is still geing on. ‘A new one pops out
every day or two. Immediately after
the destruction of the fleet of Cervera
a postoffice with the name' of Schley
was established. None of the land
forces have won pestoffice- names as
yet. Hanna. is selected’now and then
for 'a new postoffice. A new office in
Oklahoma is named for Alger. Secre—
tary Bliss has not yet begun to name
postofiices, the number of Offices by
that name being ten, or just the same
as on March 4, 1897. A few ofllces wete
named for the late postmaster general,
Mr. Gary, but the demand for that
name seems to have expired with the
retirementlof that gentleman from of-
fice. ' SENATOR.
Shipping Bees in Ice.
It is not generally known that a
great many insects"can live for weeks
in a state of suspended animation un-
der the influence of cold, and yet re-
vive if slowly thawed out. This fact
has been taken advantage of lately in
the shipping of bees. Different va-
rieties of bees are often sent from
England to her colonies, but cost heav-
ily to send alive with plenty of food}
Now they are frozen, packed quite'
firmly in a very small‘box, and thawed
out on their arrival. A number of
bumble bees have recently been
shipped to New Zealand in this man-
ner, where they are found most useful
in fertilizing the red clover that has
lately been introduced into that colony.
