Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 21.-William

end came. leaving Mr.. Singerly appar'
emily in good health, apart from hls

The physicians say they had frequently
cautioned Mr.. Singerly that his heart
was weak as a result of excessive smok-
ing. and of late his custom was to take
a '.dry smoke" To-day, however, his
cigar was lighted. and it is thought that
the smoke brought on the coughing spell,
the severity of which ruptured YES
sci of the heart.

A WITNESSES OPINION.

"The only alternative then left for the
court is to fall back on evidence which
points to the intentional blowing up of
he Maine. This, | think, will be done,
unless the court formulates a theory of
it's own or declares that it does not
know how the disaster occurred, both of
which conjectures | think improbable. ="
As bearing on the value of the opin-
ion of the officer i'll question, it must be
oorne in mind that he was before the
court for about fifteen minutes only, and
that he has at all times expressed him
:elf as confident that the explosion was
not due TO an accident.
Members of the court, when the sub
stance of the interview was brought to
their attention, declined to have anything
to say. All the high Naval and Military
officials here, when asked crucial quee-
TONS politely profess Ignorance.

YELLOW FEVER BULLETIN.
Navy Department at Washington Makes
Public Statement Concerning the
Condition Mt Santiago.

Washington, July 14.-The war de-
partment has made public the follow
ing statement concerning the condi-
ton of things in the hospitals near
Santiago;
On the 18th Of July telegram was received
from Lieut. Col Pope, chief surgeon OF Shat
ter's army, informing the surgeon general
that there were IA cases OF yellow
foyer in the field hospital which
had been established for the care Of
such cases Since that time information has
been received that number OF additional
cases have occurred, Every effort will be made
to arrest the progress OF the disease by the,
establishment of isolation hospitals In which
the sick will be treated by immune surgeons
and cared for by immune nurses.
1t cannot be said that the appear
ance of fever at this stage surprised
the medical officers of the department.
They made every preparation that
science could suggest to protect the
American troops from the fever, but
it was fully realized that men work.
ing in trenches half full of mud and
water, soaked for "a hours at time in
tropical rains, rectlessly disregarding
the advice of the medical corps in
the matter of drinking unboiled
water and eating large quantities
of tropical fruit were certainly in
some danger of contracting disease
if the same should be existent in their
neighborhood. The promptness with
which the sick men have been isolated
and the thorough precautions adopted
to secure for them the best nursing
and medicine, combined with the i'm
proved methods of treatment of fever
that have been developed by the United
States marine hospital service and
adopted by the army, would seem to
warrant the confidence expressed by
medical officers here of the ability of
the surgeons with Gen. Shafter to con-
troll these cases and prevent an extern
sion of the fever
