SANTIAGO FEVER IS WORSE
Delayed Reports Have Been Re-
ceiyed From Shafter.
DEATH ROLL INCREASING
The Situation Is Considered More
Unsatisfactory Now Than Mt Any
Previous Time Since the Disease
Appeared over 1000 Prisoners
Are I'm the Hospitals.

Delayed fever reports. covering the sit
uation at Santiago since July o. were
received from Gen Shafter yesterday.
The disease seems 10 be spreading as rap
idly as ever, and what is vastly more sig
nificant. the death rate Is increasing.
More fatalities are reported for the four
days included in the late message from
Shafter than occurred in the two weeks
preceding, and everything considered, the
situation is now more unsatisfactory. NOT
TO say alarming, than at any time since
the fever made its appearance. Follow
ing are the dispatches received yesterday:
