Berlin, July 2.-Ons the best authority

east.

the kind is in contemplation.
The fntimation that Gen. Miles may

Word reaches the Marine Hospital Ser
vice to-day that a suspicious case, pos
sibly one of yellow fever, had developed
at the navy hospital at Key West, the
patient being a sailor from the auxiliary
ship Yankee. The facts were reported to
the navy department and an inquiry was
at once instituted by the surgeon general
of the navy. He is not apprel1ensive on
the subject, as the latest reports from the
hospitals show no evidence of yellow few
er, and it is probable that the case is moth
ing more than one having suspicious
symptoms. -

Within forty-eight hours Col. Huidkoper,

gained the corps hospital and three am

A scene was witnessed at the park to-
night that indicates the patriotism and
spirit of the soldiers of the camp. The
Associated Press bulletin announcing that
the Spanards in front Of Santiago
had been driven by the Americans
from their rifle pits into the city was tel
ephOned to Gen. BroOke'S headquarters
just after taps. The news spread like
wildhre and soon more than 5000 soldiers
were parading in their night clothes many
CT them carrying candles and singing ma
tional airs and cheering. Quickly the
numbers of bands from Northern regl-
ments dressed in their night clothes set
up Dixie" and then the Georgia and
Arkansas bands turned out playing the
"Star-Spangled Banner" and Marching
Through Georgia"
Lieut.. Col. Brooks of the First Georgia
and Col Goode of the First Pennsylvania
embraced each other between the lines.
They were taken on the shoulders of the
men of the two regiments and carried
through the camps with their arms about
each other.
The men went to the headquarters of
Gen. Rosser, who came out of his tent and
made rousing patriotic speech. The
whole camp was wild for a time.

BERMUDA WOMEN.
Peculiar Laws Which Apply to Them
as Property Holders.
From the Boston Herald.

FROM the Boston Herald.
There are, perhaps, a larger number of
spinsters in Bermuda in proportion to the.
population than in any other place on
this side of the Atlantic, and it is a curious
fact that this is the law of the land.
The semi-tropical climate of the islands
and their isolation have made of the inhab-
itants of English stock a quiet, almost
sluggish, folk of a simplicity nearly Ar
cadian. The women, especially, many of
whom live very narrow lives never leav-
ing these islands, are remarkable for their
old-fashioned hospitality and a natural
ease of manner which seems TO rise from
an entire faith in those with whom they
come in contact. Perhaps the fact that
it would be very difficult for a criminal to
escape from the Islands may account for
il, but, at any rate, crime is very rare
there.
Bermuda women are excellent housewives
and bring up large families of children,
some of the most favored young folk being
sent to the United States for educational
advantages. In matters of etiquette they
are far more strict than Americans. AS
a rule, they are well-to-do, and live COM
fortably, while some of them possess am
pie means and enjoy much luxury. In
cialy real estate, remains in the same
family for long periods, and some of the
descendants of the first settlers still pos
sess lands which have never passed out
of their families. 1t is just this conserva-
tism about property which causes the SUI
perabundance Of spinsters. No alien can
ACQUIRE a title to land in Bermuda, either
by purchase or inheritance This is chiefly
"a precautionary measure against the
Portuguese, who flock to the country and
go In largely for onion growing. But the
law provides that II a woman marries
foreigner she shall lose her landed proper
ty, and shall also become incapable Of in
heriting any. This law is naturally not
popular with the women, who see their
brothers mate with Americans and other
aliens, and would fain have the same lib
erty. Occasionally Bermudan girls re-
nounce their birthrights for loves sake,
but. as a rule, the charms of penniess
maidens are not sufficient for young men
10 desire them for wives, and thus many
girls are doomed to single blessedness IN
Bermuda simply by the law of the land.

The snoring of a bride ought to be made
