1T IS YELLOW FEVER.
The Disease Appears in Mild
Form at SibOney.

Washington, July 1.-THE press re-
ports of the burning of Siboney by the
medical officers of the United States
army had a depressing effect here upon
the friends Of the soldiers at the front
an Cuba For a long time it was i'm
possible to learn anything from any
official source as to the exact state of
affairs at the headquarters of the army
corps and this reticence on the part of
officials had the natural effect to in
creaes the apprehension. Finally the
fact was reluctantly admitted that it
was not certain that yellow fever ex-
listed at Siboney, but the reports re-
ceived over night from the medical Of
dcers did state that there were four
teen suspicious cases of fever. The fact
that these cases were almost entirely
confined to members of the quarter
masters department, teamsters and
others, encouraged the officials here to
believe that the main body of the army
As not IN danger from the disease if it
should turn out to be yellow fever.
That the disease did exist in Santi-
ago, though never officially admitted,
was known there through private let
tiers from officers at the front to their
friends, and the exodus from the CITY
to the vicinity Of Skaters camp of
$4,000 inhabitants, presumably for the
most part in a destitute and filthy con-
ditiOn would afford ample opportunity
for the communication of the disease to
the American troops.
1t is not doubted that General Shat
ter has done all that is possible to pre-
vent close communication between the
soldiers and the refugees for sanitary
reasons, but in his efforts to assist the
poor people to the extent of his power.
he has been obliged to make use of the
QuartermaSter' department to deliver
supplies to them and from the exposure
thus resulting, the fourteen cases re-
ported found their origin, as the latest
dispatches say that nine of the cases
were among the quartermaSter's de-
partment employed and five among the
refugees.
of yellow fever. The promptness with
which the sick men have been isolated
and the thorough precautions adopted
to secure for them the best nursing and
medicine, combined with the improved
methods of treatment of fever that
have been developed by the United
States marine hospital service and
adopted by the army, would seem to
warrant the confidence expressed by
medical officers here of the ability OF
the surgeons with General Shafter to
control these suspicious cases and pre-
vent an extension of the fever. The
presence in the camp of DR.. John Gui-
teras of the University of Pennsyl-
VaSga, one of the most famous yellow
fever experts in the world, is an addi-
tiOnal source OF confidence in the proper
management of the situation. Accord
ing to the best information obtainable
by the navy department there has been
no sign of contagious disease among
any of the vessels of SIMPSONS fleet
nor among the marines at Guantanamo,
the first of the American forces to
land in Cuba.

WILL PROTECT HARBORS
Mines in Front of New York Will Not
Be Removed.

New York, July 1.-THE mines in
New York harbor will be maintained
until the end of the war in spite of the
protests of shipping men and mer-
chants, who, resent an interference
with commerce that seems to them to
be no longer necessary.
Major Henry M. Adams, who is in
charge of the engineer corps of this di-
vision. was today instructed by Secre-
tary of War A1ger that the mines must
not be removed, and that the vigilance
heretofore exercised to prevent en-
trance to the port at night must not be
relaxed until peace is declared.
Some of the merchants declare the
decision of the secretary of war is alb
surd and unjust. They say that there
is now no more danger of Spain send
ing a fleet to attack New York than
there is of it's sending land force to
loot the city.
