YELLOW FEVER MILD.
Report From Shafter Shows Only a
Small Number of Deaths.

WASHINGTON, July PA dispatch
received tonight by Adjt Gen. Corbin
says that 1886 cases of fever of all
classes were reported in the camp be-
fore Santiago yesterday. AS the same
dispatch reports only four deaths-and
none Of them from yellow fever-from
among the hundreds of cases Of fever
known to exist in the camp, the war
authorities are more than ever in
clined to the belief that the cases Of yell
low fever are of mild type.
Previous dispatches from Gen. Shaf-
ter and the medical officers of his corps
have indicated the existence in the
camp of a very large number of cases
of malarial fever and dengue fever, the
latter being peculiar to the Cuban cli-
mate.
Some clear cases of yellow fever are
reported, but the officials say they are
few as compared with those of other
fevers.
Gen. Shafter's dispatch, as made pub
lie by Adjt. Gen. Corbin, follows:

AFFAIR AT MANZANILLO.
Official Reports From Spanish
Sources Received at Havana.

Official Reports From Spanish
Sources Received at Havana.
HAVANA, July 24.-A report from
Manzanillo under date of July 81 said
the Americans had landed troops near
that place, and that it was believed
it was their intention to attack the
town simultaneously by land and sea.
A telegram to Admiral Manterola. the
naval commander at Havana, from the
port commander at Manzanillo, also
dated July 21, says the force landed
by the Americans opened fire on the
town on the night Of July 20, but that
the American ships, which made an at
tack on July 1S, were not seen again.
1he port commander also reported that
detachment of Spanish sailors were
quartereG near Manzanillo.
News was received on the morning of
July %, at general headquarters, that
Manzani 10 had not bee n attacked again
and that the Spanish troops were still
at their posts and were filled with en-
thusiasrn and a determination to repel
any attack that might be made. All
possible measures had been taken to
render Manzan nillo's defenses more ef-
fective.
AT about 9 o'clock on the night Of
July q ship was sighted off Cabanas
with her lights burning. She was not
fired upon, but when she was two and
was turned on her and she Immediate
ly withdrew, disappearing in the offing.
A band of insurgents recently went
to the railway bridge at Arroyo Hondo,
near Candeleria, in the province of
Pinar del Rio, and, despite the opposi-
tion Of the garrison Of the fort placed
dynamite bomb under the bridge, ex-
ploding 1t and blowing up the structure.
The free kitchens for the poor estab-
ished in Havana, the number of which
is being steadily increase, feed thou
sands Of destitute persons, and more
than ever before are shown the chari-
table sentiments of a City whose gener-
ostty has always been proverb.al.
Capt. Gen. Blanco has sanctioned the
expenditure of large sums money to
relieve the prevailing distress. The in
surgents are reduced to tie utmost in
the provinces of Santa Clara. Matanzas,
Havana and Pinar del Rio, where the
railroad trains are moving as in normal
times, and give very little proof Of their
existence.
Official reports publish only accounts
of unimportant skirmishing, except in
Pinar del Rio province
1t is reported here that the insurgents
on July Is made an attack upon
the Managuas fort, Havana province,
and after general firing lasting two
hours the garrison drove the attacking
force off, compelling them to retire.
Telegrams received on the morning
Of July % at naval headquarters re-
port that up to that date no further
attack had been made upon Manzan-
lilo.

HOBsoN's PLAN FEASIBLE.
Secretary Long Believes the Colon
Can BE Raised.

WASHINGTON, July "a. - Lieut..
Hobson came over from New York last
night to Washington and had long
conference today with Assistant Sec
retary Allen, Capt. Bradford and sew
eral other officers of the navy depart
ment regarding the raising of the Span
ish cruiser Cristobal Colon. The lieu
tenant succeeded, while in New York,
in arranging with a wrecking company
for the execution of the plans he had
prepared for saving the vessel. The
wreckers have promised to get the ap-
paratus which will be required to lift
and right the vessel, and expect to
start this material for Santiago from
New York on a fast vessel within
three days. Lieut.. Hobson Is conf
dent that, if the work can be under
taken before a cyclone sets in, it will
result successfully.
Secretary Long said today that the
iieutenants plan fbr raising the Colon
seemed entirely feasible to him Gong).
The proposed plan involves methods
ard appliances outside of those usually
employed in wrecking. They necessi-
tate the use of air apparatus of vari-
Gus kinds in righting and raising the
ship that rarely if ever before have
been used on vessels of the size and
weight Of the Colon, and, although
there is some doubt Of its success, the
navy department officials think the
prize well worth the experiment. Lieut.
Hobson returned to New York this
afternoon and will go to Santiago to
supervise the wrecking work.

but it always yields to quinine treat

The fact that the immunes in this regi-

depressed by inactivity, together with
the uncertainty as to it's future move

said: eff we must lose Cuba, 1t Is bet
ter that the island should be annexed
by America, because the traitors would
thereby be punished and the enormous
Sranish interests in the island would
be protected"
The French embassy at Washington
seems the most likely channel for open
ing negotiations, and the semi-otflclal
statement that America intends to re-
tain Porto Rico is regarded here as a
hint to Spain to hurry up.
There is still much talk about Carlist

to think that at present there is no

movements is still less. Senor Emilio
CASTELAR, has just rendered a service

AN OPPOSING VIEW.
The Madrid correspondent Of the
Daily News, telegrap phing Sunday, says:
The efforts Of the government towards
peace are meeting with almost in
superable difficulties. Ministerialists
say that the chief obstacle is President
McKinley's "impresslonable character"
which is more influenced, they affect
to believe, by his personal friends and
the jingoes in congress than by diplo-
matte counsels. The president some
times appears inclined, they say. to
negotiate for peace on reasonable
terms, but at others he seems deter
mined upon a war of conquest, with
a view Of convincing Europe that the
United States is a great military pow
er, which must be reckoned with.
The Madrid correspondent Of the
Daily Mail says: The government is
closely watching the Carlists through
out the country. Carlist clubs have
been requested to furnish complete
lists of members, with addresses, and
many will probably close rather than
comply.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 23.-The
document which is being circulated
for signature among Cuban residents
in Santiago, addressed to the president
of the United States, thanking him
for the cooperation Of the army of
the United States and expressing the
hope that the American government
will recognize Cuban sovereignty in
the surrendered portion Of the province
Of Santiago de Cuba, was drafted by
Arms, the newspaper correspondent on
the staff of the Cuban general, Castil-
10, who drafted the alleged letter Of
protest from Gen. Garcia to Gen.
Shafter.
The following is the text Of the docu-
ment.
To President Mckinley: The undersigned,
Cubans by birth and residents of Santiago de
Cuba, representing with their families the
non -combatant population that suffered for
many years from Spanish rule in this section OF
the island, wish to express their warmest
thanks to the people of the United States for
delivering them from the insufferable yoke of
Spanish rule.
They wish also to express their absolute
confidence in the good faith and humanitarian
pledge that the territory of Cuba Is not to be
conquered by the American troops for the
purpose of annexation.
We believe, and would urge, that our own
people capable Of fulfilling the interna-
tlonal obligation to establish a government
for the island Cuba in the future may pos
sibly become, In the course of few years.
part of the territory of the United States,
thus increasing the comfort and happiness Of
this people but now ali desire government
of our own as compensation for the suffering
and heroisn of our army, and the definite es-
tablishment of the Cuban republic with Gu
ban authorities in accordance with the resolu-
tions of the United States.
We hope that the present state of affairs
at Santiago, where Spaniards are still the ad
ministrators of our interests, property and
fate will be brief; that the city may soon be
turned over to the Cubans, and that our army
may enter, the flag Of Cuba waving trium-
phantly beside the American flag, as Cuban
soldiers fought side by side with the Ameri-
cans against the common enemy.

FUTURE FOREIGN POLICY.
Convention to Discuss 1t Called by
the Chicago Civic Federation.

the Ch1cagO Civic Federation.
CHICAGO, July 24.-The Civic Fed
GRAFTON of Chicago tonight gave out
call for a national conference to be
held at Saratoga Springs, N. Y, Aug.
10 and 20, to discuss the future foreign
policy Of the United States. The call
Is signed by over 1000 representative
men from every state in the Union.
The call says:
The undersigned deem 1t desirable that a.
national conference be convened at an early
day to consider the future general policy OF
the United States. The war with Spain gives
promise OF the overthrow of Spanish power in
Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines and the
others OF that countrys colonial possessions.
The question Of what disposition the United
States should make of these possessions when
peace is reached is none too soon engaging
the thought of the people.
This question impresses US as being one OF
the most serious the American people have
had to consider. 1t is a new question, and
one upon which heretofore very little thought
has been bestowed by the great majority Of
our people. Whether the foreign policy Of
the fathers" should be adhered to or de-
parted from is enough to challenge the most
serious consideration of our ab,est and most
thoughtful men.
In our opinion this conference should be
composed Of men from all parts of the coun-
try, without regard to party Affiliations and
irrespective Of whether they are for or against
policy Of territorial expansion, and men
whose ability, position and character entitle
their opinions to the respectful consideration
of the people.
The circular letter sent out by Chair
man Henry Wade Rogers and Secre-
tary Ralph M. Easley, asking for sig
natures, stated that neither the genesis
nor conduct of the war would be dis
cussed nor any political cast be given
to the proceedings, the object being
entirely educational The responses
were prompt and enthusiastic. The
signers consist of governors, mayors,
presidents Of boards Of trade, presi
dents of colleges, lawyers, presidents
OF banks, labor leaders, leading clergy
men and manufacturers. While only
individual names were asked for,
great many organizations authorized
their presidents to sign officially.
A committee on arrangements, con-
sisting Of representative men in differ
ent parts of the country and represent
ing different phases Of the questions
to be discussed. will be announced in a
few days.
