TEMPORARY REMOVAL.
Practically All Our Land Forces Will

WASHINGTON. July li.-AlthouSh the
reported appearance of q few cases of
yellow fever among eur troops in
front of Santiago present Il perplcXinS
problem to the President and his ad-
visors. it is almost certain To result in
the temporary removal of practically
all our land forces from the island Of
Cuba as promptly as possible after
the capture or surrender of General
TuraFs army.
In this connection, tn" question of
Withholding for the present the eX-

there would be practically no danger
to our troops there from yellow fever
which annually prevails in nearly all
parts of Cuba. The city Of san Juan

I GERMANY's BLUhDER.
Ner Meddlcsomc Attitude in Philippines Will
Cost Her Dearly.

London, July 15.-The Daily Nails
HONG Kong correspondent cables that
it is now known here that Admiral
Dewey ordered the correspondents at
Manila not to give the full story of
the Irene incident for fear of arous-
ing feeling in America which might
lead to complications with Germany.
When the full details tianspire it will
be seen that the incident was more
serious than it first appeared to be.
AS soon as the American ships came
on the scene of action in Subig Bay
the Irene slipped her cable, leaving
her anchor in the bay. The Ameri-
can consul. Wildman refuses to say
more than this. taking the same line
of policy as Admiral Dewey 1t is be-
lieved by those who know Admiral
Dewey that on the arrival of the mont
tors Monterey and Monadnock he will
insist upon his harbor regulations
being carried out to the letter.
The opinion among the foreigners
| at Manila is that the Americans vii.
never forgive the Germans for their
| meddlesome attitude in the Philip
| pines. 1t will not only hurt them in
! trade with America. but it will also
| effectually destroy all of Germany s
| chances Of having any say or in

| pines if they should become Ameri-
| can property.
