ton immediately to have the contract
made by the government with the Com
pagnia Transatlantique Espanola set
aside.
The ground taken Is that the success

that according to a measure passed by
the Spanish cortes one-half Of the re-
ceipts of every corporation doing busi-
ness under the Spanish government

Residents of Santiago Satisfied with Nc
Kinlcy's Proclamation.
Washington, July 25.-To the question
What is to be done with General
Skaters Fifth corps. now at Santagog"
the heads of the war administration
can find but one answer. That is to
keep 1t in Cuba until every vestige OF
yellow fever is stamped out of it. 1t can
be stated positively and upon the high
est possible authority that there Is no
intention of bringing the troops back
to this country at the present time. The
authorities here believe that 1t would
be dangerous and criminal to run the
risk of spreading the fever broadcast
throughout this country by bringing
the men back here so long as the pest
is among them, and IL Is agreed that
the best place to fight the disease is
right where they now are.
Best Place to Fight 1t.
Adjutant General Corb.n. when asked
what 1t was proposed to do with the
Santiago army, said: What can we
do but leave the troops there until
they are free from the fever? We
can't fight 1t anywhere else as well as
there. Undertake to bring them back
to this country now and II would in
feet every transport we have, and II
we brought them back. where would
we land them? There is no city on the
coast that would not rise up In arms
at the very suggestion of landing a
fever-infected army within its limits.
Besides, there is no reason to believe
that a removal at this time would be
of advantage to the men themselves.
No, the best and the only thing We can
do Is to fight the fever en- its own
ground, and until 1t is driven out Of
the army II would be madness to bring
the army back to this country
Must Remain in Cuba.
The administration would welcome
nothing more cordially than the oppor-
tunity Of bringing the men who fought
so bravely at Santiago back home and
the most salubrious climate the coun-
try affords. but II Is their conclusion
that for the present at least. and SO
long as the fever RACES. the Fifth corps
will have to be kept where II Is. AS
evidence that II Is not intended to use
the transports at Santiago to return

supposed that he would retire and

greater number of Spaniards who were

engagement, and forty Cubans were
killed and 200 wounded. The Spanish
