AS TO THE YELLOW FEVER
Many Gases Reported at Santiago
But Very Few Deaths.

Washington, July ga despatch re-
ceived tonight from Gen. Shafter by
Ad1utant General Corbin says that 3s6
new cases OF fever of all classes were re-
ported in his camp before Santiago yes-
terday. AS the same dispatch reports
only four deaths-and none of them from
yellow fever. from among the hundreds
CT cases of fever known to exist in the
camp-the war authorities are more than
ever inclined to the belief that the cases
OF yellow fever ARE Of. mild type.
Previous dispatches from Gen. Shafter
and the medical officers of his corps have
indicated the existence in the camp of a
very large number of cases of malariaI
and dengue fever, the latter being pc.
ouliar to the Cuban climate. Some clear
cases of yellow fever are reported. but
the officials say they are few as COM
pared with those of other fevers.
Port Tampa, Fla July 24.-Capt. ].
4. Brady, Jr., of the signal corps, acting
as government censor, this afternoon de-
livered the following written statement
to the Associated Press:
Complying with requests from people
throughout the country for information
as to the reported preva lence of yellow
fever in this locality. have interviewed
DR.. Drummer, lately of the U. S. marine
hospital service at Havana, one of the
foremost3 experts on yellow,fever, and am
assured by him that there is not now and
has not been at any time during the
summer a single case of yellow:feyer
at Tampa or in the vicinity. DR.. Brunner
assures me also that the conditions are
no more propitious for an outbreak Of
yellow fever this summer than they have
been since 1884 when Tampa had an ex-
perience of the fever.
''You may give this such publicity as
you DESIRE

WILLIAM IN TROUBLE.
The German Emperor's Latest Quarrel
With His Friends.

New York, July 24.-A London des-
patch to the Times says when the EN-
peror William returns form Norway he
will be confronted with quite an unpIeas-
ant personal complication of his reign
Tho troubles of the Lippe succession
make long and rather unintelligible
story, in which feminine ambition and
plottings are very conspicuous. To please
his sister, William made the error of ap-
pointing her husband Adolph of Lippe,
to the regency of the principality. This
he had no right tc do, and, the federal
princess taking the matter up, there was
an arbitration trial before the King OF
Saxony, who decided against A6olph.
He consequently had to step down and
out to make room for his remote cousin,
Count Ernest. The Kaiser, it seems, took
this more to heart than any one supposed.
Whether by his orders or through tele-
pathic perception of his mood, the officers
of the garrison at Detmold refused to sa-
lutte the new regents sons.
Ee wrote letter to the Kaiser, COM
piaining. This received in response a
curt telegram, couched in most insulting
terms. When this telegram was first pub
lished, even the kaiser's habitual critics
were unable to believe its authenticity,
but that is now admitted. Williams
meroiless, AMIDST morbid, attitude to all
offences of 1ese majestic against himself
gives peculiar point to this Willingness
of his to see another German sovereign
treated with disrespect. Naturally, il
makes a personal appeal to every Other
minor sovereign in the empire, and equal
ly, of course, fans into new flames the al
ready dangerous embers of particularisn
in all the same states. Apparently it will
produce the gravest crisis the Kaiser has
had yet to face.

Adjutant General of the Army, Wash

Lieut.. Miley has returned from San

prospect OF returning home. They were
on the verge of starvation and I have to
send then rations tomorrow. If the num-
bers keep up as they have, there will be

HoBsON's PLAN.
He is Still Working to Save the Spanish
Ships.

Washington, July 24.-Lieut. Hobson
came over from New York last night to
Washington and had long conference
today with Assistant Secretary Allen,
Captain Bradford and several other off
GERS Of the navy department. regarding
the raising of the Spanish cruiser Cristo-
bal Colon. The lieutenant stated while
in New York in arranging with the Mer-
ritt 81 Chapman Wrecking company for
the execution Of the plans he had been
preparing for saving the vessel the wreck.
ers have promised to got together the pom
toons, air bags and compressed air ap-
paratus which will DO required to lift and
right the vessel and expect to start his
material for Santiago from New York
within three days. Lieut.. Hobson is con
fident that if the work can be undertaken
before cyclone sets in, it will result
successfully.
Secretary Long said today that the
Lieutenant's plan for raj sing the Colon
seemed entirely feasible to him (Long).
The proposed plans involve methods and
appliances outside of those usually en-
ployed in wrecking. They necessitate the
use of air appliances of various 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. Al
though there is some doubt of it's SUCCESS,
the navy department. officials think the
prize we'll worth the experiment..
Lieut.. Hobson returned to New York
this afternoon and will go to Santiago
to supervise the wrecking work.

NO NEWS YET.
Nothing Expected from Gen.
Miles Till Today.

Washington, July 24.-It was said at
the war department. late today that no
news may be expected from any official
source as to Gen. Miles's movements un-
til tomorrow at the earliest. 1t Is calcu-
lated that he arrived this evening or to-
night at the point on the coast of Porto
Rico selected as the rendezvous for all
the vessels of the expedition. Whether
or not he will undertake to make land
ing in advance Of the arrival of the whole
expedition, will probably depend entire
ly upon conditions as he finds them.
Should there be no Spanish force, or at
least an inconsiderable one on the coast,
the troops will be landed to relieve them
from the disastrous effects of being con-
fined closely on ship board under tropi-
cal sun. The general has with him suffic-
lent artillery to hold any position he may
occupy, supplemented as this artillery
will be. by the guns of his naval convoy.
Meanwhile the department Is making
every effort to hurry along the remainder
of the expedition. Soma troops are now
on their way from Tampa and Charleston
and should reach Porto Rico by the mid
die Of the week. Naval officials are as
sisting actively in getting the troops off
and were engaged today in sending the
necessary orders to that end to the COM
manders of the naval auxiliary vessels
which have been placed at the service of
the war department..
In the course of day or two the troops
brought from Chickamauga by Gen.
Brooke, will sail from Hampton Roads,
where they have been arriving all Jay
and are ready for Transports.
There is probability that Gen. Miles
may be delayed for several days in his
landing operations for lack of lighters,
but several of these are now on their
| way and others will be hurried forward
as rapidly as possible However it may
be as to his speedy landing on Porto
Rico soil, it will be we'll along towards
the end of this week before the active
land campaign can be begun in Porto
| Rico.

WORKING ON BRAINS,
Food Specialist Brings Out Novelty.


A food expert at Battle Creek, Mich
connected with the Postum Cereal Co.
Linn, has produced a food especially
intended for rebuilding the brain. II
is a well known fact among physicians
that examination Of perspiration and
urine will tell whether the individual
has been actively using the brain OF
not.
Brain work exhausts the phosphates
which appear in the excreta above
mentioned. Administration of inor-
ganic phosphorus or phosphates does
not readily supply the waste, for nat
ure demands that phosphates be made
up and blended in food which she fur
nishes Advantage has been taken of
this knowledge and a scientific selec-
ton of part Of the grain has been
made and these have been put through
mechanical processes parallel to the
processes through which food is passed
in it's management by the human diges-
tive organs Therefore the new food
is not only ready to serve without cook
ing, but it has passed through the
process where the starches have been
changed to grape-sugar, and that
with the proteids, organic phosphates,
ETC., are at once ready to be quickly
absorbed and turned to use in vitaliz-
ing and nourishing the parts Of the
body like brain, solar plexus, and the
delicate nerve centers.
The new food has been given the
name Of Grape Nuts, and far from
being a "Crank's Food" invalid s
Food" or anything of that sort, 1t is
a crisp, sweet novelty, charming to the
athlete, brain worker, epicure, or in
valid.
Grape Nuts can be had of grocers
and g. trial dish for breakfast will he
found a pleasant experience
