THE DREAD YELLOW FEVER
HAS DEMORALIZED SKATERS
ARMY.
Fifteen Per Cent of the Troops Sick
The Men at Santiago will be Sent
Month

NEW YORK, August "a special
to the Sun from Washington says:
Despite the fact that an official state
ment issued today seems to make
light of the sickness prevailing in
Skaters army, it is known positive
w that a dispatch from Shafter was
received at the war department to-
day, speaking in the strongest terms
concerning the serious danger of dis
ease which threatens the army. Shat
ter said that yellow fever of the worst
kind would be epidemic, and the dis
ease would go beyond the control of
the army surgeons if the troops were
not speedily removed.
The general describes the democrat
ling effect, even on comparatively
healthy troops, of the presence of the
deadly disease in their camps, and
the scenes of death which are prevail
ing all around them. 1t appears by
this dispatch that the morale of the
troops is gone. The soldiers of his
command are brave in the face of a
battle but fear of the deadly yellow
Jack has seized upon them. He dis
puted the idea advanced that a de-
moralizaing mania in its form, known
as homesicllness, was responsible for
the decentralization of his troops, but
asserted that the ravages that the dis
ease alone caused the unfortunate sit
uation.
The sickness among the troops af-
fects Is per cent of the whole num-
Der. Most of the sick men are suf-
fering from malarial fever. There
have bppn very few deaths
The department of health is doing
everything possible to clean the city,
and already has had the effect of
reducing the mortality from seventy
five per day to fifty. An answer has
been received from Washington to the
statement of the generals and doctors,
ordering that the troops be sent to
the north Those who leave here will
be replaced by immunes. A garrison
of 5000 men will be stationed here.
The returning troops will go to Long
| Island to recuperate. The cavalry
will be first sent, then the volunteers
and lastly the regulars.
The administration has become so
deeply impressed with the necessity
of withdrawing Skaters army from
Santiago at the earliest possible mo-
ment that all the transport vessels the
quartermaster's department can com
mand have been ordered to southeast
ern Cuba. The expedition of eighteen
volunteer regiments under General
Wade to Porto Rico has been postpun-
ed or abandoned in order that trans
portation may be provided to carry
the Santiago troops to Montauk.

About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, bad an
attack of diarrhoea, accompanied by
vomiting. / gave it such remedies as
are usually given in such cases, but
as nothing gave relief, we sent for a
physician and it was under his care
for a week. At this time the child
had been sick for about ten days and
was having about twenty-five opera
tons of the bowels every twelve hours,
and we were convinced that unless it
soon obtained relief it would not live.
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Di-
arrhoea Remedy was recommended,

a change for the better; by its con-
tinued use a complete cure was
brought about and it is now perfectly

THE LAUNCHING.

A dispatch from Newport News
dated last night says: While Miss
Christine Bradley. the Governors
daughter, will christen the Kentucky
with spring water, it is more than like
" that the staunch ship will be chris
tened in al unofficial manner with
whisky. Nearly all the male Ken
tuokians arriving in the city are said to
have TASKS of "old Bourbon" in their
pockets, with which they will lombard
the battleship as she leaves the ways.
They may decide that it would be
wrong to waste so much good whisky,
but the whisky bombardment is the
programme at present, at any rate.
The water which Miss Bradley will use
at the christening was taken from
spring at Abraham Lincoln's Ken
lucky birthplace. Squire Barker, of
Christian, KY, and friend each have
quart bottle of water from spring
on the Kentucky farm on which Jefer-
son Davis was born. AS the vessel
starts on her way to the water they
will break these bottles on her bow.
Mrs. Herbert Winslow, who is to
chrsten the Kearsarge, arrived in the
morning. She is accompanied by her
husband, Lieut.. Herbert Winslow,
United States navy. Lieut.. Winslow
is the only surviving son OF the com.
mander of the old Kearsarge. He will
hoist the flag or board the Kearsarge,
while Mr.. Thomas Hall, of the Louis
vile Courier j ournal staff, who secured
the name Kentucky for the other snip,
will perform the same ceremony aboard
the Kentucky. Mrs. Fl:zhugh Lee,
who is expected to be present, will re-
ceive distinguished honors at the
hands of the local Confederate Vete-
rams, Sons of Confederate Veterans and
Daughters of the Confederacy.
