London, Aug. 4-Tne royal commission

The commissioners are very much dlNlded
in opinion with reference 10 remedy ior

country security against depression. ana
suggests that the reason for UNIVERSAL 1e-

SPANISH SAILORS IN DANGER.
Probability of a Rapid Increase OF
Yellow Fever Among Those
in Havana.

Washington. Aug. 4.-In his last report
to the surgeon general of the marine hos
pital service, DR.. Bruner, sanitary inspect
or for the service at Havana, dwells upon
the probability Of a rapid increase Of yell
low fever among the Spanish sailors. He
saws that up to recent date there were no
cases among the sailors OF the Spanish
navy but that lately several have ap-
peared. He attributed this TO the fact that
some Of the warships have gone to the
navy yard. which is in close proximity to
the military hospital and the Tallipiedra
wharf which is in bad condition. There
are" he says. seven or eight war vessels
must aggregate 200 men. many Of whom,
| learn. are not acclimated. This being
true they will be doubly exposed to the
danger Of contracting the disease. being
in close proximity TO the worst infected
Wbarves of the city" He adds that the
reports from the military hospitals show
that yellow fever Is increasing. DR.. Cam
inero. inspector at Santiago. says there are
. 900 Spanish soldiers sick there Of various
diseases.
