YELLOW FEVER
 AT CAiMENARA

Playa Del Este, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, July 12.-The known presence of yellow fever at Camenara, Guantanamo and oth- CT towns in the vicinity of Camp McCalla, and along the coast has resulted in the establishment of the strictest quarantine. Hereafter no communication will be all lowed with the north side of the bay and no one will be permitted to land from ves- sels entering the harbor here without spe- cial permit from the commanding officer. This may result in inconvenience to the newspaper dispatch boats. It also cuts off communication with the insurgent forces around Guanatanamo under command of General Perez and the regiment of Colonel Thomas.
 The rule will also be rigidly enforced at Camp McCalla, although the general health of the American marines is remarkably good
 The Spaniards in and around Caimenara have been showing great activity during the last two or three days and their forces there have been apparently increased from Guantanamo. The boldness of the Ameri- can launches in venturing up beyond the port and the presence of large number of warshps in the lower bay have evidently led the Snaniards to believe that an attack is planned at that point

THE CARRIER MUST PAY.
Important Decision on the Revenue Law Ken.
 dered By Gen. Boyd

Washington, July 12.-In answer to ref erences from the commissioner of internal revenue all bearing upon the question as to whether the shipper or carrier shall pay for and afhx the required revenue stamp to bills of lading, etc., Assistant Attorney General Boyd has held as follows:"T law makes it the duty of every railroad and steamboat company. carrier, express com pany or corporation. or person whose occu- patton it is to act as such to issue to the shipper, conSignor his agent or person from whom any goods are accepted for transportation bill of lading, manifest or some other evidence of the receipt of goods, wares or merchandise received for carriage and transportation and this bill of lading or manifest requires a revenue stamp of the value of l cent affixed to 1t and cancelled. In case of failure to issue such bill of lading the law imposes pen alty of $50 upon the carrier guilty of such failure.
 "The penalty for failure to so affix the stamp is not more than $l00. The purpose of the law is clear. It was to tax the carrier and not the shipper and these pro- visions undoubtedly fix upon the express companies and other carriers the duty Of providing, affxing and eancelling the stamp, and their failure to so provide, af- fix and cancel such stamp, subjects them to the penalties provided by law"

MORE VESSELS
 FOR TRANSPORTS

Washington, July 12.-Negotiations are still in progress between the war depart ment and ship owners looking to the acqui- sition by the government of additional ves- sels, particularly on the Atlantic coast The activity in this direction would seem to indicate that no time Is to be lost in preparing for future expeditions when the campaign against Santiago comes to an end.
 It was formally announced today that the department had bought the steamship Rou- manian of the Allen line, and also the pow erful seagoing tug Britannia, which will be sent to Santiago for Shafters army Colonel Humphrey, quartermaster in charge of transportation of the army in Cuba, has orders to send back to Tampa such vessels ns are not needed and they will arrive from time to time and be put to such use as may be necessary. The supply ship Mohawk Is now at Tampa loaded with 600- 900 pounds of refrigerated beef for the army in Cuba. She will be followed by the Port Victor, which left New York today with subsistence supplies for Santiago via Tampa.
