CIGARS CUT AND LIGHTED.
An Automatic Device for Saving
Trouble to Smokers.

The labor saving inventor has been
at work at the cigar cutting machine
which stands on the counter of every
cigar store and in many places where
drugs and groceries are sold. He has
invented an addition which will make
matches, the alcohol flame and gas SUI
perfiuous for cigar lighting purposes at
counters where cigars are sold. This
machine is so arranged that an un-
lighted cigar placed at one end comes
out at the other with the Zip cut and
lit ready for the smoker The machines
will be made, the inventor says. for
public and private use. Those which
Will be sold to cigar stores. drug stores,
restaurants, saloons. barber shops and
hotels will have large spaces over the
mechanical part where advertisements
may be inserted; those which are to be
used at home will be ornamented and
free from all advertising schemes.
The machine has not yet made It's
appearance in New York, but its inven-
tor who has tried it on the people of
Chicago, thinks that it will be as great
a success here as it was in the Ran
dolph-street concern where it was cx-
hibited for the first time
A prominent cigar dealer said that he
could see no advantage in having such
a machine. Every man likes to light
his cigar" he said, "and if you will
stand near a cigar counter and watch

THE YELLOW FEVER.
Discussion of the Disease Over
shadoyved by the Surrender.

Swallowed by the SURRENDER.
Although the reported appearance of a
few cases of yellow fever among our troops
in front of Santiago presents a perplexing
problem to the President and his advisers,
it is almost certain to result in the tenn
porary removal of practically all our land
forces from the Island of Cuba as promptly
as possible after the capture OF surrender
Of Gen. ToraFs army. In this connection
the question of withholding for the present
the expedition now being fitted out against
Porto Rico has been under serious consid-
Grafton but up to this time no positive
conclusion, it is thought, has been reached.
Investigation with respect to the climatic
conditions at San Juan, however, has con-
vnced the officials that there would be
practically no danger to our troops there
from yellow fever, which annually prevails
in nearly all parts of Cuba The city Of
San Juan, which is built high ground
is said to be exceptionally clean for
Spanish town.
things considered it is not believed that
the present arrangements for the invasion
of the island will be interfered with. None
of the troops now in front of Santiago, 1t
is understood, will take part in this ex-
pedition, but will be brought north TO re-
main until October, when it is expected the
danger from the Cuban fevers will have
passed.
Reports that General Duffield was down
with fever found no official confirmation.
AS to the health of the soldiers in camp
Surgeon General Sternberg stated positive
ly that he had no word. He regarded this
as hopeful sign, taking it for granted that
If there had been any considerable extern
sion of the yellow fever among the troops
the fact would have been reported to him
by DIR. Guiteras.
Overshadowing even the interest felt in
the condition of the fever patients was the
subject of surrender.

GEN, BROOKE SUMMONED.
The Porto Rico Expedition to BE
Considered.

Maj. Gen. Brooke, commanding the large
army of United States troops now at Chick
arauga, has been ordered to report to
Washington and is expected to reach here
tonight. 1t is believed that his call to this
city has been with view to consultation
respecting the next military expedition,
which 1t is now proposed shall leave the
United States within short time after
the fall of Santiago.
The details of the expedition will not be
settled until after the consultation with
Gen. Brooke, but it is believed that aside
from some of the regulars now in Cuba
the Porto Rican e. pediton will not draw
upon our troops in Cuba to any extent, the
plan being to have our Cuban forces large
ly returned to the United States for re-
cuperation.
Gen Wilson's division, composed of the
brigades of Gen. Haines and Ernest. are
under orders for the Porto Rican expedi-
ton. One brigade is now at Charleston
and the other at Chickamauga. No more
troops it is ordered, shall be embarked
for Santiago, with the exception of two
regiments of immunes. These immune
regiments are at New Orleans and Gal
weston, where transports have been pro-
vided 10 take them to Cuba.

brief dispatch from Gan. Shafter.
The President was the first to be made

Extent of Torals Command.
An important question has arisen over
the extent of Gen. Torals command. now
that the question of his surrender has
reached eliminating point. II he COM
mands only the forces within the city of
Santiago, then his surrender can affect
only these ten thousand men. But it has
been the expectation Of officials here that
the surrender would include not only the
Spanish forces at Santiago, but also those
at Holguin, Manzanillo. Bayano and other
points in the province of Santiago. Whether
Gen. ToraPs command extends to the
forces at Holguin and elsewhere is not

Gen. Shafter he designated himself as COM

than the command Of 10000 men at Santi-

at Holguin and Manzanilo

tire corps in the eastern province, General
Toral could negotiate for the surrender not
only OF the forces within Santiago city,
but Of all those in the easternmost prov

Secretary Alger returned to the War De-

before o'clock. He expressed his graft

conservative view of the matter as being
of such grave Importance that it must not
be regarded as settled finally and abso-
lutely until actually accepted in its details
and said 1t yet remained to be known ex-
actly what the terms of surrender were
He said he had telegraphed General
Shafter, inquiring as tor the exact terms.
So far as the transportation of Spanish
troops back to Spain went that, he said,
was fully understood and entirely APP
proved. In general he regarded the situa-
ton as highly Satisfactory.

to the adjutant general of the army, has
been promoted from the 81 900 to the 81 800
grade. Mr.. Coursey is one of the hardest
worked clerks in the War Department and
his promotion was richly deserved. His
hours of labor are the same as those of
General Corbin, viz: from o'clock in the
morning to o'clock the next morning, and
sometimes later. He has been on eighty
eight nights in succession to date. One of
his important public duties is the prepara-
tion of the war bulletins for the press, a
task requiring considerable tact, ability and
fairness. He has acquitted himself with
credit in all his dealings with the news
paper men and has given general satisfac-
ton to them, as well as to his official Sd

allowance Of Mrs. Jane L. Stanford from
the estate of her husband, the late Leland
Stanford. has been reduced by Judge Hunt
from $3.50 to 81 900 a month
The reduction was made at the request
of the widow, who is also executrix of the
estate under the will. She made no expla-
nation Of her request beyond stating that
the smaller amount would be a fair and
sufficient allowance. Soon after the death
OF her husband Mrs. Stanford was granted
$4,000 month allowance, which, at her
own request in 1896, was cut down 20
$500. 1t is understood that the distribu-

following from Playa this afternoon:

surrender upon the basis of being
returned to Spain. This proposition
embraces all of eastern Cuba from
Asseradero on the south to Sagua
on the north, via Palma, with practi-
cal1y the fourth army corps. Com
missioners meet this afternoon at
2:3o to definitely arrange the terms.

nonnced that Santiago had surren-
dered after General Sllafter's dis
patch was received, the telegram
showing that the Spaniards had
agreed to our terms. Only the de-
tails now remain to be adjusted.
The War Department has notified
General Shafter that his plans are
approved, so far as they have been
made known, and are the result of
orders, including the shipment OF the
Spanish troops to Spain.
The statement that the Spanish
proposition embraces all eastern
Cuba from Aserradero to Sagua is
important in that it shows the sur
render to embrace all the harbor and
contiguous territory OF Santiago. 1t
does not include Holguin and Man
zanillo, where the Spaniards are re-
ported to have considerable bodies
OF soldiers, as these places are to the
