—The United States army surgeons
here believe there has been a genuine
case of yellow fever at this‘ camp; Chas.
Miner, aprivate of the 'Nineteenth in.

toms pointed to yellow fever. It was
not until the autopsy was held that
the surgeons pronounced it yellow fev-

General Henry' 3 report, made to Gen.
Brooke on the condition of the troops
on the south side of the island, shows
there are 1,553 sick out of a total of

wey says he considers the situation
critical. It is understood that he has
asked for an additional cruiser and a
battleship.

Says Wilhelmina Was Attacked
London, Sept. 13.——The Evening News
persists in the assertion that an at-
tempt was actually made upon the
life of Queen Wilhelmina of the Neth-
erlands a few days previous to her
coronation.
The queen, according to the story,
was riding on an unfrequented road
when three shots were fired at her.
The shots missed her, but one struck
the Countess Limburg-Stirum, shatter-
ing her arm. The queen pledged every-
b'ody to secrecy concerning the affair.
It is not known whether or not the as.
sailant has been captured.
Maria Teresa Will be Saved.
Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 13.—-The
work of floating the Infanta Maria
Teresa is nearly complete, but the Al—
mirante Oquendo is not worth the post
of saving. '
Sunday was observed for the first
time since the war terminated as a day
of ‘rest and worship. All the military

also the shops, and the city’s appear-
ance was unusually quiet. Religious

N 0 PROVISION— FOR PAYING
Extra Military Commission Is Not Pro;
vided for by Any Law Now on the
Books. Clerks 111111 Not Be Disposed t0
Testify Against Their Superiors.
Washington, Sept. 13.—The president
has not yet succeeded in filling the
military commission to investigate the
conduct of the war. The refusal of
General Gordon, former secretary La—
mont and Mr. Lincoln to serve, has
caused some embarrassment. The
president considered these men special-
ly desirable, and up to this time has
not found men to replace them. -
Several names have been sug‘egsted.
These the president has taken under
consideration. In the absence of or-
ders of an official nature, regarding the
work of the commissibn, the investiga-
tion is the subject of much gossip am-
ong army officers. An officer with
whom an interview was had yesterday
expressed the opinion that the commis-
sion would not have the‘requisite pow-
er to make inquiry as thorough as the
president desired. He said that it would
not have the power to compel the \at-
tendance of many desirable witnesses.
He predicted that clerks in the va-
rious bureaus ofthe war department
would testify with great reluctance re-
garding the work of their superior offi-
Gets.
The compensation of those who serve
on the .commission and its general ex-
penses is another important matter.
How can this be taken from the appro-
priations for “war purposes” is not
clear, and the officer says that this
cannot be done.
intention to have the' commission sit
in Washington with power to visit any
and all places it may deem necessary
and to send for persons and papers.
Expenses of this kind must be provi-
ded for. but no law can be found gov-
erning the case. Should the commis-
sion be a purely military one, appoint-
ed to- investigate the administration of
the affairs of the army, the case would
be different.

Secretary Day’s Resignation.
. Washington, Sept. 13.——Judge Day
has handed his resignation as secre-
tary of state to the president. The
name of Ambassador Hays successm
is not yet announced, and as far as
can be ascertained at the department
of state, no person has yet been chosen
to succeed Senatm Gray on the Cana-
dian commission. There is a growing
notion that this vacancy will not be
filled, as the commission has proceeded
so far with its work that one member
more or less will not affect the re-
sult.
Dreyfus Case Postponed.
Paris, Sept. 13. —Two cabinet meet-

——
To Be Accompanied by Colliers on Their
7:25 ’ Long 0111159.
Washington, Sept. 13._——T_he navy de-.
partment is shifting. some of the offi-
cers of the battleships OregOn and Iowa
preparatory to their departure from
New York on their long cruise to San'
Fiancisco, by way of the straits of
Magellan.
The department has just selected
from among the fleet of colliers acquir-
ed during the war, four of the best
and largest to accompany the battle-
,ships on their long run. These are the
'Cassius, the Scandia, the Alexander.
and the Aberendia, and their coal ca-
pacity is sufficient to insure a full sup-
ply for the big battleships as well as
for themselves, without subjecting the
fleet to the danger of refusal of any of.
the South American republics to allow
them to take on coal, on account of the
technical existence of the state of war
between the United States and Spain.
No attempt is to be made to drive the
big ships so as to equal the famous
run of the Oregon coming eastward,
the need for the ships on the Pacific
side not being so pressing as to war-
rant incurring the risk of injuring the
boilers or machinery by keeping up
full speed.
It is expected that the battleships,
with their colliers, will be able to
start from New York about the end
of this month.
It is now known, although no official
instructions have yet been received in
the Brooklyn navy yard, that the bat-
tleships Iowa and Oregon are to go to
Honolulu as soon as the repairs to
both vessels are completed, and are
there to await orders in case there is
any trouble in the Philippines which
might require their presence there.

THE PRISONERS RETURN
Sailing of Admiral Cervera’s Men on the
City of Rome.
Portsmouth, N. H, Sept. 13. —Most of
the Spanish sailors and marines who
survived the destruction of Admiral
Cervera’s fleet were taken from Sea-
vey’s island yesterday morning to the
steamship City of Rome, which has
been chartered to take the admiral and
his officers and men to their native
country. The work of transporting the
prisoners began at.5.45 o'clock, and at
nine o'clock all were on board. The
arrangements necessary for the com-
" fort of the men- during the voyage Were
hurried as much as possible.
Admiral Cervera, with his son Angel.
made farewell visits to the officers of
the navy yard at nine o ’clock, and af«
terwards' boarded the City of Rome.
On the way to- the boat the admiral
spoke enthusiastically to those who
accompanied him of the treatment the
Americans had accorded to. the Span-
ish prisoners, to his staff and to him-
self. He recounted the many courte-
sies he had». received at Portsmouth
Annapolis, Norfolk, New York and
Washington.
He was most favorably impressed
and said
he Would carry home with him many
happy recollections of the kindness and
generosity 'of those high in official cir-
’cies as well as of citizens in every
walk of life.
These sentiments were heartily en—
dorsed by his son, Lieutenant Angel
Cervera, and the other officers of his
staff. '
The City of Reme sailed at 12.15 p
m. She will go to Santander, a port
in northern Spain. or the more than
1,706 Spaniards on board,1.668 were
from the prison on Seayey' s island.

Mt. Washington, N. H., Sept. 13.2-
The cold wave from the West reached
Mt.‘ Washington within twenty-four
hours after it was reported in Montana
and on Sunday morning the tempera-
ture was down to 27 degrees above
zero. Monday morning it fell to 21
degrees. Ice in the water barrels form-
ed an inch thick, and the highest sum-
mits are covered with a remarkably
fine frost formation unusual at this
time of year.
The atmosphere, is clearer than it
has been at any time this season, with
. the Maine coast lines visible from :1
point beyond the mouth of the Penob-
‘ scot to the Isles of Shoals.
Sailing vessels are visible off Port-
land, more than seventy miles from
Mt. Washington.

Washington, Sept. 13.——The navy for
the first time in its history, will soon
be represented at Oriental courts. The
selection of Lieutenant A. L. Key of
the Naval Academy for duty as naval
attache at Tokio and Pekin, gives that
officer one of the most attractive bil-
lets of the service, and places him in
a position where he can be of great
value to this government in View of
the development and extension of Am-
erican interests in Asia.

The transgressions in= this respect
are especially. noticeable this summer
when skirts ruched, flounced, tucked,
I'uflied and with over‘skirt effects, are
Worn byeverybody, the tall, the short,
the thin and the stout.
Gowns designed solely for the tall,
slim maiden, which tend to add
plumpness to her figure and reduce her
height. are adopted by .her: short
(lumpy sister, with, as one~~~may sup-
pose decidedly-ludicrous results. Bay-
adere striped effects should be avoided
by short women together with over-
skirts, flounces and ruffles. Panels in-
troduced on either side ctr-the front
of a skirt is a becoming trimming and
also adds a. little to the appearance
of height.
But the short woman is not by any
means the only offender, for many tall,
angular females cling with stubborn
tenacity 'tol. perpendicular .stripes of
every description,.to bodices made on
long lines and stiff plastron effects.
There is less excuse for this latter type
for she has many becoming styles to
select from this summer.
In hats and bonnets this mad rush
after extraordinary combinations of
colors and startling effects is every-
where apparent. The French have a.
knack for making. these daring crea—
tions which if attempted by the ama-
teur or ordinary milliner will undoubt-
edly result in a dowdy or vulgarly
flashy head covering. For the woinan
~with a slender purse who may ”only
possess one or two new hats every
five or six months, black is the most
reliable and the only color which
should be purchased. With a hat of
this color in 11 becoming, not too con-
spicuous shape, one is prepared for any
emergency, and appears well dressed
at all times. A novel idea this summer
and one which appears quite practical
is to have the hat trimmed entirely
in black, and to have on hand a num-
ber of combs adorned with different
back. These combs are now sold in
some millinery shops all ready for use
and bid fair to prove decidedly popu-
lar, inasmuch as one may have three
or four changes with one hat.
There are certainly some delightful
toilets seen this season at the swell
summer resorts. For instance, a de-
cidedly French and exceedingly pretty
costume donned by a. fair maid for an
5 afternoon stroll at, one of the fashion-
!ablewatering places is made in the
lfollowing manner: The material is
lcream colored pineapple fibre, mount—
ed over rose colored taffeta. The
skirt is out With a deep fitted flounce.
1 trimmed with fine lace appliqued on in
:a bow knot pattern, which, by the
way is one of the daintiest and most
[novel modes of ornamentation this
summer, and certainly a very attrac-
tive one.
. The waist is a simple blouse, fasten-
ing under the arm and cut square in
the neck, forming a point directly in
the centre. This is edged with three
tiny ruches of white mousselaine de
soie, while the finely tucked yoke and
collar are of rose colored taffeta. The
bow knot pattern in lace is also car-
ried out on the bodice. The sleeves
are long with the pineapple fibre
slightly Shirred over the taffeta ul-
