MONITOR AT NEW ORLEANS.
Naval Reserves Given An Enthusiast
tic Reception.

New Orleans, Aug. 1S.-The monitor
Passaic, with the Louisiana naval re-
serves, in command of Lieutenant Bos-
tick, on board, arrived in front of the
city this morning and was given a
rousing reception by the river craft
and the thousands who gathered on
both sides of the Mississippi. The men
on board are reported to be generally
in good health, The Passaic has been
on duty at the jetties and recently has
been ordered to New Orleans.
Yesterday the monitor was intercept
ed with orders to proceed to Pensacola,
but the exchanges here are urging the
Washington authorities to order her
to remain here permanently for the
use of the naval reserves.
Colonel Riches regiment of immunes,
which is largely recruited in Texas
and which has been camped in this city
for some time. left for Galveston. to
which point they We're ordered. The
command left in poor spirits. owing to
the reports that it is likely to be dis
banded. instead of being sent to San
tiago, which had some time ago been
named as its destination. The officers
of the command are anxious for a
court of inquiry to settle definitely the
truth of the charges made of the con-
duct of the Texans here.

REGIMENT ARE ORDERED HOME
MOVEMENT PRELIMINARY TO
BEING MUSTERED OUT.
New York, Maine and Illinois Troops
Sent to Home Camps-Kansas
Colored Troops For Santiago.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Orders We're
issued by Adjutant General Corbin to-
night for the Second New York. at
Fernandina, Fla, to proceed with all
its equipment, except wagon transper-
tation, to Troy, N. Y, and there go into
camp; the Second Maine to proceed
from Chickamauga to Augusta, Maine;
the First Illinois cavalry to proceed
from Chickamauga to Springfield, ILL.,,
and the Twenty Kansas, now in
camp at Topeka, to proceed at once to
Santiago de Cuba, and there report to
General Lawton.
The TWenty-third Kansas is a regi-
ment of colored troops, and is said to
be an excellent organization. 1t is the
purpose to make the regiment a part
of the permanent garrison of Santiago.
The movement of the other three reg
iments is believed to be preparatory to
mastering them out of the service. 1t
is said at the department, however,
that the orders were issued because of
a desire on the part of the people of
the states to have the organizations in
camp at home rather than in one Of
the larger camps of mobilization. In
their state camps the men would, it
was argued, be less liable to Illness
1t is likely that other organizations
will shortly be expected to go into camp
in their home states.

NAVAL BASE TRANSFERRED.
Ships Ordered to Norfolk to Escape
Yellow Fever

Key West. Fla. Aug .1S.-With the ex-
ception of the gunboat Princeton and the
monitor Miantonomah which have been
sent to the Dry rortugasi all the ships of
the fleet have been ordered to Norfolk
without delay, and mapy have already
departed. The naval base has been trans
ferred from Key West to Norfolk. The
reason for this is the appearance of yell
low fever here. There are now ten cases
in the marine barracks, all the victims
being marines. Forty persons in all are
in the building, which =; an old cigar
factory, and most rigid quarantine is
being maintained. At this writing only
one of the cases is said to be serious.
Whether there are any scattered cases
throughout the town is not known, but
this will be determined by a house-to-
house inspection. The marine hospital
and local physicians are confident that
the disease will be confined to the bar
racks and that there is no danger of an
epidemic.
The utmost precautions are being OBJ
served. however, and State Health officer
Porter, who arrived on the Mascotte to-
day, refused to permit the steamer to
leave her port on her return to Tampa.
He will tomorrow decide whether or not
a quarantine of Key West shall be de-
clared.
Later in the evening the Mascotte, car
rying. an immune crew was allowed to
sail, but without any passengers.

yICISSITUDES OF WAR.
Captain Clark Lies PROSTATE, While
Cervera Is Lionized.


Chicago, Aug. 1S.-A special to the
Times Herald from Camp Wikoff, Mon
tauk Point. says: Brave Captain
Clark of the battleship Oregon, pros
trate in cabin of the st. Louis, the
victim of nervousness; Cervera, the
vanquished admiral. receiving the
plaudits of thousands. This spectacle,
grim portrait of wars result, has been
witnessed in New York
The victor battling for life and health
again; the defeated round and sleek,
crowded aud damned by the hundreds
seeking for his hand. Probably not one
in the thousands at the Murray street
pier of the Fall River line knew that
while Admiral Cervera passed, that
the man who helped to destroy his
fleet was then a helpless invalid on the
St. Paul, in New York harbor If all
reports are true, Captain Clark is a
very sick man. He is, it is said, so i'll
that he cannot be removed to Mon
tauk. The report as to his complaint
was simply nervous prostration.

.CERVERA is NOT RELEASED.
MAY NOT RETURN TO SPAIN
FOR SOME TIME.
Will Probably Remain Until His
Officers Have Gone-one Captain,
Surgeon and Chaplain Released.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Admiral Ger
vera will not return to Spain for the
present. and reports from Annapolis
stating that he would leave for Wash
ington today are said at the navy de-
partment to be due to misapprehen-
SION. The admiral has made no prep
arations to leave, and it is the belief
that he will be the last of the Spanish
prisoners to go home, as he has shown
a fatherIy regard for all the other Of
ficers and men, and appears to be de-
Sirous of seeing them on their way
homeward before he leaves. The navy
department has not taken up the ques-
ton OF the final disposition of the
Spanish prisoners, although it has
passed upon one or two special cases,
in which the circumstances made
speedy action advisable. One Of these
was the case of DR.. Jurada, the ven
cradle Spanish surgeon connected with
the other Spanish prisoners at Annapo-
lis. The doctors report that DR.. Ju-
rada was very feeble, and that while
he might be able to reach Spain if re-
leased now, he would not be able to
make the trip a month hence. The
navy department accordingly directed
his release, and the Spanish chaplain
will be allowed to accompany DR.. Ju-
rada to Spain.
The case of Captain Moreu, COM
mander of one of the cruisers of Ger
vera's feet, has also received special
attention by the department. 1t ap-
pears that Captain DIoreu is not only
an officer of the navy, but a member
of the Spanish parliament. With the
prospect that the parliament would re-
assemble at an early day, Captain Mo-
reu was DESTROYS of returning to Spain
and participating in the sessions. In
particular he expressed the desire of
telling the Spanish parliament of the
generous treatment accorded to him
and all other Spanish prisoners by the
United States. The officials felt that
such a statement from Captain Moreu
could not but have a salutary effect.
His release was accordingly ordered.

the best thing the Cubans could do was
to advise the men IL arms to disband
