Washington. Aug. I'm proof of the
allegation that the war department
had bestirred itself to succor the IN
fortunate army in Santiago before the
united protest was made the following
statement was given ont by the secre-
tary OF war regarding the shipment OF
troops north from Santiago:
Until quite recently il was sup
posed that yellow fever was epidemic
in Santiago. and il was not believed
that il would be safe 10 send ship
loads north of men largely infected
with yellow fever. The disease, IL was
believed. would rapidly spread on
shipboard and result in the death and
burial of many at sea. On the 2Sth
ult. the secretary Of war telegrapbed
