HAVANA, July z, via Key west.-The report
Is current at q late hour in Havana that Gen.

eminent on account of the failure of his cam
paign In Santiago de Cuba province.
The Spaniards here are very indignant against
the Captain-G General for his retreat to Sancti
Spiritus after his promise to pacify Orient. The
report Of Weyler's recall Is semi.oficially de-
MED, but It is likely that he has been asked to
tender his resignation.
Ar official Spanish report published in Havana
says that $4,000 soldiers OF the Spanish army
have been attacked by yellow fever. Other dis
eases are making great ravages also. and
It is believed by most of the surgeons
in tho army that II military operations
continue during the summer. so per cent. OF tho
soldiers will be killed or disabled by epidemics.
The health Of all the soldiers Is very poor.
Almost all Of them are young men about 20
years old. and they are not accustomed to tho
climate of Cuba.
The battalion of Corona alone reports $50
dead of yellow fever. 1t operated at Mariel and
Cabahas, which are very unhealthful places In

ungainly creature with a long body. legs bowed
like the slaves OF a barrel. and only one eye.
What he lacks in personal beauty he makes up
in amiability. He came to town with a tramp
ten years ago. and has always lived at tho
hotels and saloons, at night patrolling the
village streets and alleys.
He knew every resident Of Mamaroneck. He
has saved three children from drowning. Ono

and Jack jumped in and pulled them out. Once
he caught a burglar who had broken into the

He held him until Constable Briggs arrived.
A whole family was saved from burning to death
last winter by this dog. He discovered "A fire In

Judgment AEninat Mr. Knight for Strong
Language In n Private Letter.


Special Gable Despatch to THE Sun.
LONDON, July The peculiaritics Of the Eng
lish libel law are illustrated by the finding of a
Jury in the High Court of Queens Bench after
q three days hearing of tho suit of Mr.. A. H.
Atteridxe. the Chronicles special correspondent
during the Soudan campaign. against Mr.. E. +.
Knight, the special correspondent of the Times
in the same campaign.
The action grew out OF n letter written by
Knight to a friend wherein he called Atteridge a
dirty cur" and declared that he left the Soudan
after the first baltic at Firkct because he was In
a blue funk"
He further expressed his opinion that Atteridge
was a dirty cur" because he had treated Gar
rett, the correspondent OF the -Netc Fork Herald,
in a vile manner, turning him out of his tent
into the desert when he was suffering
from entcric fever for the reason that no
was afraid OF cholera. Mr.. knight also accused
AtteridGe. who had previously been n ~tcctotal-
Ter. OF drinking champagne from 8 o'clock in the
morning until bedtime and praying to God all
day when the cholera broke out. He then pro-
ceeded to describe Atteridge as n brute who
never washed. The letter concluded:
"Tcll your friends on the Chronicle that IL he
is sent again where WI correspondents here hap
pen to be we will first fog him, then kick him
out OF camp, and probably kill him if he returns. .
knight was called to tho witness stand and
admitted that some OF tho language he used was
stronger than the occasion required. and that
some parts OF it he could not Justify, but he
maintained that the most of what he had writ.
ten was true. The witness testified on both sides.
The jury brought in n verdict awarding Attc-
ridge Ell 900 damages.

She Was Spoken ON Last Sunday About 500
Miles from queenstown.
Tho North German Lloyd steamship Spree,
which left this port on June % for Bremen and
Cherbourg. and was due at Cherbourg on Satur-
day. has been heard from. The Norwegian
steamship Enrique. which passed the Scilly
Islands. of the coast Of Cornwall, yester-
day, sienalled that she had spoken q French
sailing ship. which reported that she had passed
the Spree on Sunday. about 500 miles west
southwest OF Queenstown. The Spree had sig
nailed to the Frenchman that her main shaft
was broken.
The news Of tho safety Of the liner was tele-
graphed from Bremen to Oelrichs s. Co.. agents
here OF the North German Lloyd line. They said
that they expected to hear from her in a day or
so proceeding to her destination. or to the near
est port. either in tow, or, IL her engineers had
succeeded in patching the shaft, under her own
steam.
Since she left this port the Spree has been
spoken by the French liner La Gascogne, two
days out, and by the steamship Roland of the
Baltimore on June % and arrived at Bremen
yesterday. The Spree passed the Roland in
midocean. four days out from New York. The
Spree was then proceeding at full speed. nineteen
knots.
The place where she was seen by the French
ship is about s4Omiles east of the place where she
passed the Roland. The Spree could cover this
distance in two days. so 1t looks as IL she broke
her shaft on Friday last.

THE QUEENS EYESIGHT.
UNABLE TO RECOGNIZE OBJECTS
MORE THAN TWO FEET AWAY.
The Lancet Makes n Wild statement OF Queen
Viotorin's Innrmity Tho Leading Fhysi-
clan in the Case said That the Queen
Is Almost Totally Mind. and This IL True.

Cthh IN u bhiu Ahhk N Succh
Is Almost Totally DlInd. and This Is True.
Special Cable Despatch to THE Sun.
LONDON, July 7.-Tho Lancet, the %wcll-known
medical journal, will this week make the first
somi-oflcial announcement In England in re-
gard to the Queens e~yesight. 1t will be a mild
statement, designed apparently to conceal moro
than 1t will reveal OF the serious nature of her
inflrmity.
The first news concerning the Queens sight,
cablcd TO THE ~ q fortnight ago, was based
ON statements made by two eminent physicians
who had been consulted in her Majesty's case,
Ono described her condition., as then stated, as
almost totally blind The second confirmed
this statement, and ascribed tho cause to equity
condition OF tho blood. He said that he could
offer no hope of cure or escape from further
progress of the afliction.
Further information received within tho past
few days from several persons who have been
personally associated with the Queen at Bal
moral has boon Of the same general tenor.
One described tho condition of the Queens eye
sight as follows:
"Hcr Majesty is now unable to recognize OBJ
jects more than two feet from her eyes. Even
at that distance her sight is lalncntably feeble.
She Is no longer able to read, and with great
difficulty signs occasional documents"
ms Is PROBABLY q correct description OF the
extent which the disability has already reached.
Tho accounts cablcd back TO London at tho
time of II SUNS original announcement
wrongly quoted TIE SUM- despatch, the first
despatch thus received saying that the Queen
was absolutely blind. This misquotation en-
abled certain officers Of the Queens household
to make a denial when applied to.
1t Is this same exaggerated quotation which
the Lancet refers to In the following statement:
"We are glad to be able to state on excellent
authority that certain rumors 10 which pub
licity was given last week in reference to her
Majesty's eyeslght are grossly exaggerated. 1t
is q fact that for some years her eyesight has
been affected, owing to changes incidental to
her advanced age, but, although in the nature
Of things this condition may be slowly progress
sive, there is no truth in the statement that it
Is rapidly becoming worse.
Tho deterioration Of her vision causes the
Queen some inconvenience, but not to the ex-
tent Of interfering with her ordinary course of
life or of preventing her from dischareing her
multifarious and onerous duties
1t Is a fact, nevertheless, that what the Lam
Get describes as deterioration Of vision which
causes the Queen some inconvenience, is char
acterized by the principal physician in the case
in the emphatic words first given in THE SUN,
namely, that her Majesty is almost totally
blind.
