YELLOW FEVER SITUATION.
9aasral 1haftsr's Reports Caass the On
eials to Hope FOE the Best.

Washington, July PA dispatch re-
ceived tonight by Adjutant General
Corbin from General Shafter says that
300 new cases Of fever of all classes
were reported in the camp before San
tiago yesterday.
As the same dispatch reports only
four deaths, and none of them from
yellow fever, from among the hun
dreds of cases Of fever known to ex-
ist In the camp, the war authorities are
more than ever inclined to the belief
that the cases of yellow fever are of a
mild type.
Previous dispatches from General
Shafter and the medical officers of the
corps have indicated the existence in
the camp of very large amount of
cases Of maiarial fever and dengue
fever, the latter being peculiar to the
Cuban climate.
Some clear cases Of yellow fever are
reported, but the officials say they are
few as compared with those Of other
fevers.

public by Adjutant General Corbin,

Chicago, July 24.-The Civic Fedora
tion Of Chicago tonight gave out a call
for rational conference, to be held at
Saratoga Springs, New York, August
18th and 2Oth, to discuss the future
foreign policy of the United States.
The call is signed by over 1000 men
in every state In the Union. 1t says:
''The undersigned deem it necessary
that national conference be convened
at m early day to consider the future
foreign policy of the United States
The war with Spain gives promise OF
the overthrow Of Spanish power in
Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines and
other Of the cOuntry's colonial posses
siOns. The question of what disposi
tion the United States should make OF
these possessions when peace Is
reached is none too soon In engaging
the thought of our people. The Ques
tiOn impresses US as being one of the
most serious the American people have
had to consider. 1t is now a question
on which heretofore very little thought
has been bestowed by the great ma.
jority of our people. Whether the for.
eign policy Of the Fathers" should be
adhered to or departed from is enough
to challenge the most considerable of
our ablest and thoughtful men. In our
opinion, this conferenc. should be
composed Of men from all parts of the
country. without respect to party or
affiliations, whether they are for or
against policy of territorial expan-
sion, and men whose ability, position
and character entitle their opinions to
the respectful consideration Of the
people,"
The circular letter sent out by Chair
man Henry Wade Rodgers and Secre-
tary Ralph NJ. Eastley. asking for sig
natures, stated that neither the genesis
nor conduct Of the war should be dis
clissed, nor any political cast be given
the proceedings, the object being en-
tirely educational.
The responses were prompt and en-
thusiastic. Among the signatures are
the governors OF Indiana, Oregon, Ne
braska, Delaware, Vermont, West Vir-
ginia, Wyoming, South Carolina, and
the following:
