FEVER SPREADS.

Sixteen New Cases Occur Among the
Troops-One Death rs Reported.
Washington. July 19.-The only dis
ouieting news received at the war de.
partment during the day was as to the
yellow fever condition at the front, and
this was modified in an encouraging
way later by General ShafteI S news.
1t was dispatch from Colonel Green
leaf, chief surgeon with the army in
Cuba, saying that 16 new cases had
appeared. His dispatch was as follows:
"Siboney, via Hayti, July 18.-To
Stern berg, Washington: Sixteen new
cases in the past "a hours, and one
death. Sanitation measures are rigid.
"GREENLEAF, Chief Surgeon"
While this was regarded with some
apprehension by laymen, the surgeon
generals department considered the
showing entirely satisfactory. Colonel
Alden, acting surgeon-general during
the absence of General Sternberg, said
a report of only 16 cases was an excep'
tionally good showing as the number
must be taken relatively to the large
number of men at the front. With the
surrender accomplished there would be
better opportunity to get the men or
high ground and keep away from in
fection.
During the day report was received
stating positively that no cases of vel
low fever existed on the Harvard, which
brought large number of sick Span
ish prisoners to Portsmouth, N. II
This not only relieved officials as to the
conditions at Portsmouth, but also as
to the Harvard, for it would be Sc

craft had to 60 into quarantine.

ships, climate and fevers, and are en-
titled to rest; second, it Is deemed to
be very bad practice to allow the sol
diers who have been exposed to yellow
fever to be brought in contact with
those fresh from the United States.
There is also another reason, purely
military one. Ten thousand Spanish
troops are at Holguin, Manzanillo and
other points within striking distance OF
Santiago, and might not lose an oppor-
tunisy to recover the ground lost at San
tiago. if the place were left insufficient
" protected. Therefore. Skaters en-
tire army is to be on guard on the, high
hills in the rear of the town until the
men have stamped out the yellow fever.
Then they will take turn at the Span
iards, Ii they can be found and it may
be that Skaters march will end at Ha
vana. He will work as far from his
base as possible after his army is thor
oughly refreshed, hunting the enemy
wherever they are liable to be found.

Augustin Refuses to Surrender Manila
Important Conference Held.
Manila, via Hong Kong, July 2O.-
An important interview has just been
held between General Aguinaldo's
secretary, Legarda, and a prominent
native white man. and the Spanish
commander, Captain General Augustin,
to surrender the city. Legarda asserted
that $4,000 insurgents surround
Manila, and are able to enter it at any
moment. Thus far, he added, the IN
surgents have been restrained with diff
Guilty, but if the Spaniards continue
stubborn, the result would be that the
insurgents would be compelled to bonn
bard and storm the city, with inevita-
Bile slaughter unparalleled in history,
because in the excitement of battle they
cannot discriminate.

FIRST TROOPS LEAVE
The Vanguard Sails for
Porto Rico.
MILES STARTS FROM SIBONEY

He Is on the Yale With Four Batteries
of Artiilery-Landing Place Not An
nounced-An Overwhelming Force
Will Be Sent to the Island.
Washington, July 2o.-After three
days. consultation between Secretary
Alger and General Brooke, during which
there was frequent communication with
General Miles at Siboney, the details
of the Porto Rican expedition were per-
fected and the expedition itself gotten
under way. General Miles, with four
batteries of artillery and some troops,
sailed today for Porto Rico on the Yale,
to be followed quickly by an army of
about 80, 900 men.
There are some notable differences
between the plans for this expedition
and those for the stately naval pageant
that sailed away from Tampa under
General Skaters command to attack
Santiago. First, there will be practic-
ally no naval convoy. The navy de-
partment has declared that it is unnec-
essary; that there is not Spanish
warship in the West Indies that dare
thrust it's bow out of port. In the sec
ond place, the expedition will not start
from one point, but will be divided
among several ports, thus preventing
the tremendous congestion that was
encountered at Tampa in the effort to
start the big fleet. Lastly, there will
be no effort made to get the ships away
together, but the transports will be al
lowed to find their own way to their
destination.
General Miles leads the way. He
had been promised by the president
that he should go to Porto Rico and the
promise was redeemed when the Yale
headed today from Siboney for Porto
Rico, 800 miles distant.
General Brooke will be senior Officer
In General Miles command, and upon
him will fall the responsibility for the
execution of the details Of his superior
plans.
General Miles will hoist the Ameri.
can flag at once over Porto Rican soil
The point chosen for his landing is
kept secret, as the general will land be-

fore the full body of the expedition is
at hand, and 1t is consequently not de-
sirable that the Spaniards should be
enabled to collect a superior force to
meet him.
The distance from Charleston, where
the first body of troops for Miles expe-
dition was to start today, is more than
double the distance from Santiago to
Porto Rico. so that the transports which
sail from the former city can scarcely

MILLIONS IN DUST.
Gold-Laden Steamer St. Paul Arrives NJ
San Francisco.


San Francisco, July 19.-After be-
ing eagerly watched for during the last
10 days, the steamer st. Paul arrived
tonight from St. Michaels, bringing
men and treasure from the Klondike.
There were 176 passengers on the list,
and the amount of their earnings in
golddust, nuggets and bank drafts is
estimated by the ships officers at $3,-
100000
The largest amount brought out by a
single prospector is in the possession
of T. l. Pickett, who has $50, 900, prin-
oipally in golddust and nuggets. Pete
Wybird admits to ownership of $780,
900; E. j. Nash has $50, 900 and Fred
Berry, of Fresno, CAL, who had previ-
ously brought out a fortune, says he
has another with him now, but de-
clines to disclose the amount.
j. Dumas, who has been prospecting
on Eldorado creek. has $40, 1000 to show
for his lahors In the frozen north. and
W. E. Burn, who suffered the misfor-
tune of having his feet frozen and los
ing both by amputation, feels comren-
sated by the possession OF 500, 900 in
cash the proceeds of the sale of his five
mining claims. J. Dumas spent only
one month in the Klondike, but during
that period realized $780, from his
claim, and just before his departu,
sold the claim for $25, 200 more so thai
his DAYS at Dawson were exceedingly
profitable.
The returning miners say that it il
idle for prospectors to go to the klon
dixie now expecting to locate claims "a
all the mining land of any value ha!
already been staked out. The only
manner in which claims can be nov
acquired in said to be by purchase.
The general concensus of opinion il
| that the value of Minook creek as 1
center has been overestimated. Claim
there are pronounced to be of littl
value and the intending miner if he b.
guided by the experience of these pio
neers will confine his operations to tn
neighborhood of the original gold dis
coveries near Dawson.
Dominion creek is pronounced tn
| richest of the Klondike streams in tn
| precious metal. Eldorado and Bonanz
creeks are considered by these prospect
ors only second in importance to Dc
minion.
1t has been learned on reliable au
thority that the Alaska Commercia
Company received tonight about $3
423, 900. Adding this to the amoun
brought down by the miners which
now placed at over $3,o00,Oo0 til
Klondike treasure carried by the s.
Paul is not less than $6,0O0.O00 {
$7,0O0,O00.
