San Francisco, July 2S.-The transport

for the Utah light artillery, and a detach-
ment of the signal corps. sailed today for
Manila
The vessel was accorded the same ova-
ton which has been given the other trans
ports which have sailed for the Philip
pnies. and nothing unusual occurred as
the vessel steamed down the bay toward
the ocean. The expedition will be under
command of Brigad.er General H. G. Otis,
who has stated that he will make all pos
sible speed to join the United States
forces already in the Philippines The Rio
will stop at Honolulu to take on fresh
supplies and TO refill her coal bunkers.
Major General Merriam, in selecting the
troops for the st. Paul, Scandal and Ari-
iona, is carrying out the policy of Major
General Otis. The troops selected by the
latter for the St. Paul will be again desig-
mated to sail on her, as General Merriam
does rot care to disappoint their eXpecta-
tons. The St. Paul may get of in about
five days, possibly not for a week.

sHAFTER's ARMY REMAINS.
Will Be Kept In Cuba Until Fever Is
Stamped Out

New York, July 23.-A dispatch to
the Times from Washington says. To
the question what is to be done with
Santiago" the heads of the war" ad-
ministration can find but one answer.
That is to keep it in Cuba until every
vestige of yellow fever is stamped
out of il. 1t can be stated positively
and upon the highest authority that
there is no intention of bringing the
troops back to this country at the
present time. The authorities mere
believed that it would be dangerous
and criminal to run the risk of spread
ing the fever broadcast throughout
this country by bringing the men back
here so long as the disease is among
them and il is agreed that the best
place to fight the disease is right where
the, are now.
Adiutant General Corbin, when asked
what it was proposed to do with the
Santiago army, said: What can we
do but leave the troops there until they
are free from fever. We can't hght
it anywhere else as there. Undertake
to bring them back to this country and
it would infect every transport we
have. and if we brought them back,
where would we land them? There is
no city on the coast that would not
rise up in arms at the very suggestion
of landing a fever-infected army with
in its limits.
Besides. there is no reason to be-
lieve that removal at this time would
be of advantage to the men themselves
No; the best and the only thing we can
do is to fight the fever on its own
ground, and until it is driven out of
the army ii would be madness to
bring the army back to this country"

AID TO The ENEMY.
Suit to Annul Contract With the

Suit to Annul Contract With the
Spanish Steamship Company.
New York. July 2s.-Gsorge Osgood
Lord today brought suit in the SUI
preme court against the .Campania
TranS-Atlantica Espano'a- J. N.
Ceballos agent, who, in behalf Of the
Spanish line, made the bid for trans
porting $4,000 defeated Dons from
Santiago TO Spain at $50 for officers
and 200 for enlisted men
The suit is to annul the contract the
quartermaster'S department made with
the enemy's steamship company The
ground for the suit is that the contract
is against public policy and gives aid
and comfort to the enemy of the
United States. Technically 4IT. Lord
sues for 100000 damages, but the real
object is to secure the annulment Of
the contract.
The ground taken is that the success

a nation with which the United states
are at war, and that. according TO 4
measure passed by the Spanish cortes.

While this is the expectation of Secre-
tary Alger, for prudential reasons the
war department declines to make any
comment as to the accuracy of the var
ious guesses that have been made in
the effort to ascertain just what point

Some parts of the Porto Rico expedi-

FAKE STORIES ABOUT CUBANS
GARCIA LETTER WRITTEN BY A
CORRESPONDENT.
Account of a Bloody Battle That
Probably Is Another Fabrication,
As Shafter Did Not Report It.

Santiago de Cuba, July BIT now turns
out that the letter alleged to have been
addressed By General Garcia to General
Shafter, complaining of the treatment ac-
corded to the Cubans and advising Cen
eral Shafter of General Garcia's resigna-
ton, was prepared by a newspaper CORE
spondent named Aras, who has been act
ing on the staff of General Castillo. II is
not clear that Garcia ever saw the let
ter.
Washington, July BIT is stated posi-
lively at the war department that the
letter which General Garcia is represented
to have addressed TO General Shafter, an
nouncing his withdrawal from further
co-op4ration with the American troops.
has not yet reached the war department.
The officials are inclined to believe that
if the letter really exists, and of that they
have little doubt, it will reach Washing
ton only through the mails from San
tiago. So fa- no mail report of any char
acter has come from General Shafter
since his landing in Cuba, to the great
disappointment of the officials, who are
looking anxiously for detailed accounts
of certain events in the progress of the
campaign that were only Obscurely out
lined by General Shafter.

from the French consul there that San

had been included. Not crediting it,
he was sent here to verify the fact.
They will be very glad to accept the
terms of surrender: very. short of ra-
tions. and l shall have to begin feed
ing them at once. He tells me there
are 5000 men at that place. Am now

morrow or next day with one of Cen
