SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July i3, via
Kingston, Jamaica, July 25.-The re-
port published in the United States
that there are 80 cases Of yellow fever
In the cavalry division proves, on in.
vestigation, to be unfounded. Captain
Houze requests that the report be def
nitely denied.
The First, Third, Sixth and Ninth
volunteers, the First and Tenth regular
cavalry regiments and six companies OF
the Randolph light artillery are en-.
camped about two miles northwest of
FL Caney, at the base of the mountains.
The camp is apparently perfectly healthy
as to location and has O good water sup
ply. The ground is we'll drained
Malarial fever Is prevalent, but it al
ways yields to quinine treatment in the
course of four or five days. The fact
that the immunes in the regiment have
had this fever as freely as the other
men shows that the illness is not yellow
jack,
There have been no fatalities from
fever thus far, but so long as the men
are exposed to the hot sun during the
day, the increasing rains and the heavy
night dews malaria will increase and
our men grow worse. A second attack
is much more difficult to eradicate, es-
pecially in the case Of men exposed to
the presnt conditions.
The cavalry is anxious to proceed to
| Porto Rico, but will be obliged to re-
main here until the Spanish prisoners
| of war have been transported to Spain,
which, it is believed, will have been ac-
complished before the next month Is
| we'll advanced. The army is mentally
depressed by inactivity and the uncer-
| tainty as TO its future movement,
together with the increasing malarial
fever.
General Skaters refusal to permit
the entrance of armed Cubans into
Santiago is an extremely wise measure,
as in these excited days there might be
trouble. Unarmed persons, however,
are free 10 enter at all times.
| As soon as the Spanish soldiers have
embarked Cubans will be allowed to
enter the city freely. .
The first embarkation Is expected
next Thursday, in accordance with Q
contract made between the United
States government and the Spanish
Trans Atlantic company.
The United States transport Santiago
left this morning for. Newport News
with sick and wounded.
The steamer Jamaica arrival today
with passengers from Jamaica and pro-
ceeded to Guantanamo with provisions
for the United States feet.
Today the Spaniards turned ovel
their cavalry horses. Only l43 were
surrendered. The others had beer
killed for food for the army.

NO AUTHORITY FOR rERRIroRrAL

In his address before the state bar as

General Of the United states Judson o.
Harmon, of Cincinnati, spoke as follows
on the new policy Of territorial scquisi.
ton:
"We have made war on ground so
unusual that there Is scarcely prece-
dent. That ground was 80 high and so
consistent with our idea that am not
ready to deny that under ell the circum-
stances we we're justified In making a
precedent.
"Before we had conquered foot Of
Spanish soil IL was declared by many,
for whose statements we are held In a
measure accountable, that we shall keep
whatever we take. We must seize the
dominion from which we thrust Spain,
and become the ruler Of numerous and
distant peoples Of unkindred race and
tongue.
"Various pretexts are suggested for
escapes from our disclaimer OF territor-
ial cupidity. 1t applied to Cuba only.
II merely expressed our intentions at
the time, subject to change. Spain did
not promptly yield, but persists In pre-
tending she Is making war. The decla-
ration was OF no consequence. anyway,
because 1t was voluntary and without
consideration.
mo authority to acquire territory,
anywhere, is expressly granted by the
constitution. Jefferson thought the
book of the constitution had to be clos
ed while he bought Louisiana. He de
pended upon subsequentapproval by ar
amendment, the form Of which he pre-
pared. The Federalists, except Hsmil
ton, agreed with his construction
though they condemned his course.

is no dishonor in bringing home our vic

Henrv T. Miles, Of Toledo. savI

Henry I. Niles, of Toledo, says:
"Let accumulated wealth and the
trusts and combinations pay their full
share of the burdens of peace and war.
Let the army be administered for the
common defense and not to furnish
places for rich mems sons and for party
camp-followers or as convenience club
for large employers OF labor.
"Let our finance be controlled in the
interest Of the whole people and not in
the interest Of money combinations.
"Let the money OF the common
people and of the constitution be re-
stored to the place 1t occupied in all
civilized nations since the dawn Of his.

SWISS CHIMNEY SWEEPS.

In Switzerland the chimney sweep is
an official parsonage. He is the EN-
ploye of the commune, receiving fixed
salary, his actions controlled by the
government and he himself holding on
by the backstraps to the car of state.
He is also, as many tourists have notic-
ed, one of the few sons of the Helvetian
repdblic who on Sundays and weekdays
sporte tall silk hat. This he wears
with dignity, but 1t is generally brushed
the wrong way, On his official tour he
takes it off blandly and informs the
householder that he is empowered by
the state to inspect his aues." In the
canton OF Grisons recently the post and
title of "ramoneur communal" was
opened to competition. The salary was
e32 pounds year, and the candidates
were numerous. But the strange thing
was that they were mostly village
schoolmasters from Italy, painful
sign Of the times In that unrestful land.

three weeks longer the settlement of
