rail. but by river and dirt roads Is
maintained. The latest news OBJ

OFFICIAL SATISFACTION.

Washington, July 24.-With the week just closed the United States saw the end of the third month of the war with Spain, and responsible officials, from the president down to the lowest employe who has had to do with shap- ing the course of events, feel nothing but satisfaction at the progress made
 An army of a quarter of a million men has been mobilized, armed and equipped and much of it has seen ser vice. The battles preceding the cap ture of Santiago have been remarka ble in many respects, and in the opinion of military experts have covered the United States army engaged with inn perishable glory. Modern warfare of the type developed in these engage ments was absolutely new and untried, not only to the Uniaad States, but to the world.

sufficient food and supplies.

The positive statement can be made that the army landed in Porto Rico will not be pushed forward in haste. On the other hand the purpose of General Miles is to move his army forward slowly, permitting the men to carry with them everything they need for comfort. They will not be allowed to go with scant supplies and will not be thrown forward in such haste as to resort to throwing away clothing, blankets, etc.
 The first landing force will remain under the protection of the ships until large endorsements have arrived. When his entire army has been landsd General Miles will give orders for full equipment and a slow march. The campaign will begin and end this way. The Spaniards will be driven into San Juan slowly, but surely. If they want to fight they will get what they desire. General Miles will pick his ground for fighting and for camps for his troops.

aged by losses. But he was in no financial trouble. He received rex ular remittances from his eastern rela- lives. The last came only two days ago. There was found in his pockefe $11, but no other money has yet been discovered. The suicide had evidently been contemplated. On Saturday night he told acquaintances that he was Ep- ing to die. He said he wanted to kUk: knife with long blade Such q knife was found in his pocket.
 Rosenbergsr had been of joviai disposition, though since his retaIrn he had grown morose. He was at the cigar store about 10 o'clock#iA sIle morning. Shortly before that llA. nfst a man in a saloon and asked him to have drink. In the course of con- versation he said a man was a fool to return to this country at this time of the year.
 The real motive of the suicide is te- lieved to have been an infatuation for a girl who sings in a WashingICn street saloon He had known her be- fore and their relations were friendly. They have not been so lately and SO Rosenberger's moroseness was deep ened.

NO YELLOW FEVER AT TAMPA.
Malaria and Dengue Fever at Santiago,
 but Small Death Rate.

Washington, July 24.-Owing to the persistent reports that there was vel low fever at Tampa, notwithstanding denials by Florida state officials, Dr. Brunter, the yellow fever specialist who represented the marine hospital service at Havana at the outbreak of the war, decided to make an investi- gation. He reports that after close inspection Of Tampa, it can be stated there is net 9 case of yellow fever there.
 A dispatch received tonight by Ad- jutant-General Corbin says that 396 new cases Of fever of all classes were reported in camp before Santiago yes teruay. As the same dispatch re- ports only four deaths, and none of them from yellow fever from among the hundreds of cases of fever known to exist in camp, the war authorities are more than ever inclined to the be- lief that the cases of yellow fever are of mlld .ype.
 Previous dispatches from General Slater and medical officers Of his corps have indicated the existence in camp of a very large number Of cases of malaria fever and dengue fever, the latter being peculiar to the Cuban climate. Some clear cases of yellow fever are reported, but officials say they are few as compared with those of other fevers

ROBSON SINKS AND RAISES.
Having Sunk the Merrimac He Will
 Now Raise the Colon.

Washington, July 24.- Lieutenant Hobson came over from New York to Washington and had long conference today with Assistant Secretary Allen. Captain Bradford and several other officers of the navy department re- garding the raising of the Spanish cruiser Cristobal Colon.
 The lieutenant succeeded while in New York in arranging with the Mer- ritt & Chapman Wrecking company for the execution of plans he had pre- pared for saving the vessel The wreckers have promised to. get to- gether pontoons, air bags and con- pressed air apparatus which will be used to light and right the ships and they expect this material to sail for Santiago from New York on a fast vessel within three days.
 Lieutenant Hobson is confident that if the work can be undertaken before cessfully.
 Secretary Long said today that the lieutenant's plan for raising the Coon seemed entirely feasible. The pro- posed plan involves methods and ap- pliances outside of those usually em- ployed in wrecking. They necessitate the use of air appliances of various kinds in fighting and raising the shiI that rarely, if ever before, have been used on vessels of the size and weight of the Colon, and although there is some doubt of it's success the navy department officials think the prize we'll worth the experiment.
 Lieutenant Hobson returned to New York this afternoon and will go to Santiago to supervise the wrecking work.

HAVANA HOT AND LIVELY.
The People Tire of the Fleets and Seek
 Other Amusement.

Havana, July 24.-After several days continuous rainfall the whole is- land is again experiencing the over towering effects of the tropical sun which enervates even the strongest persons, and causes the spread of yell low fever, smallpox, dysentery and other diseases common to the rainy season. Havana's people have be- come accustomed to the effects of the American blockade and are tired of watching the movements of the block ading fleet which previously formed one of their chief distractions, and now the parks are again frequented by the inhabitants, and various places ot amusement are filling up.

Rico and then When Porto Rico is captured and Spain holds off in stubborn and sullen manner more territory will have to be sought for. Next to Porto Rico the United States would naturally turn to the Canaries, between Porto Rico and Spain. These islands are the pride of the Spanish government. They can be captured with less effort than Santiago. Porto Rico would become splendid base of supplies for campaign against the Canaries. A senator today said he understood that Commodore Watson, on his way to Spain, would seize a place in the Canaries for a coaling station and leave a ship there to de- fend it.
 With the Canaries only few months away from the clutch of Uncle Sam, Spain may come to her senses and shortly ask for peace. If she does not, the eventual price she will pay will be the loss of every island possession. If she should sue for peace now she would retain the Canaries without question. Another month or so and these will pass from her grasp.
 The possibilities of peace are as re- mote as ever, for no move whatever in that direction has been made bv any of the foreign officials here, and despite the pitiful condition of Spain, her pride appears to restrain her from making any direct overtures. A cab met official, in speaking of the situa- tion today, said it was amazing that Spain seemed to lack all comprehen- sion of her own deplorable condition. Her two best fleets have been wiped out her hold on the Philippines is practically at an end, and now she has approved General Toral's surrender of 5000 square miles of Cuban soil and yet, he said, Spain seems to take no account of her own misfortunes. and to adopt no means to limit the extent of her defeat and losses. Under such circumstances, he said, the only thing left for this country to do is to press on until Spain reaches some compre- hension of her own impotence It is with this end in view that the present active steps are being taken for fur ther aggressive campaign, as the authorities feel satisfied that Spanish pride still stands in the way of any peace settlement commensurate with
 the present conditions of the war.
