The physicians declare that the army,
owing to the hardships and fever, will
not be fit for duty for some time TO

General Toral agreed to surrender the

COMFORT FOR WOUNDED.
No Expense Spared In Equipping the
Hospital Ship Relief

Probably it will be some satisfaction to
the friends of volunteers who have been
wounded by Mauser bullets TO know that
lying off Santiago is the most completely
equipped hospital ship ever fitted out.
This is the Relief, which recently sailed
from New York with full complement OF
skilled surgeons and trained nurses.
By utilizing all the space 450 patients
can be handled on the Relief. Every
modern device known to science for aid
ing in the recovery of injured men was
made part Of the equipment, for Major
Torney, the surgeon under whose direc-
ton the ship was fitted out, was told to
spare no expense. A feature of the five
big cool wards, into which the Relief's
decks are divided, are double decked iron
cots.
The beds are generous in size, being
what is known as the three-quarter bed,
having first woven wire mattress, over
which is cheap but comfortable mattress

VARDoE, July 10 delayed in trans
mission THE steam whaler Fridtjof,
having on board Walter Wellman and
the members of his expedition to
Greenland, arrived here today for coal,
having left Solombola, town near
Archangel, on July 8. The party sails

While at Archangel the governor of
that place refused to allow the Eridtjuf
and Spanish ship to sail on the
same day, saying he feared the hostili-
ties between Spain and the United
States would cause an outbreak between
the crews Of the two ships, although the
spanish ship was a trader and the arma-
ment Of Mr.. Wellman's steamer only
consisted Of harpoon gun.
