SOME OF THE BRAVE NURSES

Alger

NEW YORK, July 1S.-The following
telegram was received today at the Red
Cross headquarters from Miss Clara Bar
ton: 1--WE will go In with the navy and then
discharge the Texas Immediately. All
points are fever smitten. Do not send per-
sons not immune for US to care for. Lesser
and nurses are recovering. No possible
cause for alarm" On the 18th inst, Miss
Barton cabled from Playa del Este that
Mr., and Mrs. Lesser and all their nurses
were In fever hospital and all were doing
well. In the light Of her message OF yes
terday. 1t would seem that the doctor, Mrs.
Lesser and the nurses have been taken
down with yellow fever. which accounted
for their being in the hospital.

NEW YORK. July 1s.-The Evening
Worlds Key West correspondent tele-
graphs today:

nurses and full supply Of medicine, which

Yellow Fever Cases
WASHINGTON. July 1s.-Oficial advices
from Santiago place the entire number of
fever cases at 800 or less. The Surgeon
General considers the situation less serious
than feared.
WASHINGTON. July 1S.-with the San
tiago campaign successfully closed, there
was lull Of activity In the War and Navy
departments today and the officials ex-
pressed the belief that the stirring develop
ments Of the last few weeks would give way
to the details Of occupying Santiago, the
shipping of Spanish prisoners to Spain, cop
ing with the yellow fever situation and
preparation for the aggressive campaign
No report from General Shafter or Admiral
Sampson was received during the early part
of the day. A dispatch was received late
last night stating the entire number of fever
cases up to that time did not exceed $780,
This lowered the estimate by 100 from that
given in press dispatches, and was source
of satisfaction to the authorities. Colonel
Alden, acting Surgeon-General, says the
situation is much less serious than would
appear at first glance, for while the ag-
gregate Of 300 seemed large, It is relatively
small when It is remembered that there are
5000 troops at the front. Surgeon Arthur.
at New York, has been given carte blanche
to get together at the earliest moment a
large number Of contract doctors and nurses
familiar with these cases. They are to go
to Santiago on the Resolute, which leaves
the American line pier tomorrow.
Anxious inquiries from relatives ana
friends OF soldiers are coming to the War
Department, owing to the fever reports
This has led to the consideration of the

MURDER OR SUICIDE
The San Francisco Police Are Again
Puzzled

SAN FRANCISCO. July 1s.-Mrs. II. 8.
Carpenter, the woman who was found dead
early Sunday morning in the Hubbard
House on Fourth street, was strangled to
death. This has been definitely determined
as the result Of the autopsy performed at
the morgue today by DR.. John Gallagher.
DR.. Gallagher found that death had been
due to asphyxia by strangulation. The
lungs Of the deceased were congested and
the larnyx considerably injured. On the
outer skin of the neck were visible marks or
abrasions. The result of DR.. Gallagher
autopsy does not definitely prove that Mrs.
Carpenter was murdered but the theory
advanced to a certain extent by the police,
that the woman committed suicide, seems
to be scarcely tenabie.
There Is no reliable clew to the murderer,
and the only evidence against Luchner, the
man held on suspicion, Is that his room ad-
Joined that Of the murdered woman.

THE ENGLISH PRESS
Brief Comments by the London News

Brief Comments by the London News
papers
LONDON. July 1.-THE Madrid corespon-
dent Of the Times says:
Captain General Blanco and Gen. Toral
were given a free hand in the surrender of
Santiago, as the government did not desire
to expose itself to suck a criticism as fol-
lowed the destruction of Admiral Cervera's
squadron, when 1t was alleged that the gov
eminent ordered Admiral Cervera to quit
the bay.
The necessity Of making peace 10 now
universally admitted, but the necessity Of
making 1t quickly is less generally realised.
and partly owing to Senior Sagasta's indie
cision. Apparently nothing definite IL be-
ing done by the government, which seems
In NO hurry to make proposals.
It May Be True
LONDON. July 1o.-The Hong Kong cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says:
United States Consul Wildman informs
me that as the German cruiser Irene was
passing Mariveles. of Manila, the other
day, the United States gunboat Hugh Nc
Colloch was sent after her to ask her TO
stop. She refused to- obey, and q shell was
sent across her bow. and a small boat went
out to discover what she was doing. The
German admiral protested and insisted
that German ships had right to enter the
harbor without being searched, a claim
which Admiral Dewey declined to recog-
nice.
1t Is reported Admiral Won Diedrfchs,
who Is in command of the German squad
ron at Manila, interviewed Capt. Chiches-
ter, of the British cruiser Immortalite, as
TO what he would do II the Germans inter-
fered with the bombardment Of Manila.
Capt. Chichester replied that only Admiral
Dewey and himself knew that.

his resignation within short time

under consideration for some time,
deeming it necessary that he should
be free to devote more time to his large

can be stated, will not be due in the
least to any differences with the pres
ident or his other advisers, but to Mr..
Bliss reluctance for purely private
personal reasons to continue longer
in Office as secretary of the interior.
At the time he entered the cabinet 1t
was said semi-officially that he did not
intend to serve out the term of four
years, but would retire at some fit
