YELLOW FEVER.
Downfall of Santiago Must BE Accom-
plished at Once in Order That it May
Not Decimate Our Troops.

WAsHINGTON, July 14.-Fourteen suS
picious fever cases have broken out
among the employees of the quarter.
masters department near Santiago.
The men have been isolated and con-
fidence is expressed in the ability of
the doctors to stamp out the disease.
The report received at the war de-
partment that yellow fever has broken
out among our troops impresses the
administration with the Importance of
concluding the campaign at Santiago
as speedily as possible. While but
very few cases have developed, accord
ing to the report, the presence of this
disease, even in a single case, is eX-
tremely dangerous to the army situated
as it is. The purpose of the war
council at the white house Wednesday
morning was not only to discuss the
steps to be taken to prevent the spread
of the disease, and to improve the con-
dition of the army, but also pro-
posi- ton to facilitate the opera

of yellow fever is an admonitiOn that a
prolonged campaign would subject our
army to the danger of disease. 1t is
proposed, therefore, to press ahead at
once and at most any cost to capture
the city and put an end to operations
in that quarter. the Spanish COM
mander is thoroughly familiar, of
course, with the health condition, and
delays on pretense of considering the
question of surrender to stave off the
fall of the town with the hope that
the yellow fever may become epidemic

at the works of the Latin s. Rand

day killed Is men, among them several
soldiers who had been detailed to
guard the powder works. A short
time ago there was an explosion which
killed six men. Since the outbreak of
hostilities with Spain Col. Lee, Of
the Sd New Jersey volunteers, and
a battalion OF his regiment have
been stationed at the works to pre-.
vent their destruction by spies. The
camp of the soldiers has been close tc
the powder plant. The guard was be-
ing maintained as usual Tuesday
morning. At II o'clock there was q
terrific explosion which shook the
buildings and scattered the troops and
employees. Fifteen men are reported

The terms of surrender insisted up
on by the American commander take
in not only the beleagured Spaniards
at Santiago, but the whole province OF
Santiago de Cuba, including the garri
sons at Manzanillo, Holguin, Baracac
and Guantanamo.
The United States, on its part
agrees to send the Spanish troops back
to Spain and to allow their officers
their side arms.
No other concessions will be granted.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-Among the
best informed administration officials
the opinion was universal Wednesday
night that the crisis of the Santiago
campaign is at hand.
1t is deemed certain that Thursday
will witness either desperate fight OF
an unconditional surrender on the part
of the Spanish forces, with the chances
of both SO evenly divided that there is
scarcely a toss-up between them.
The war officials are hoping for q
surrender of the city and they gener-
| ally believe that Gen. Toral, the Span
ish commander, will yield at the last
moment rather than subject his men
to what inevitably will be a losing
fight. He is evidently hesitating as tc
what course he shall pursue and az

Secretary Bliss also was at the white

the island and capture the garrison.
As soon as the cruisers arrived they
-shelled the principal points on the is
land, utterly destroying the earthwOrks
and other Notifications and lay
ing the torpedo station liz ruins. Capt.
'Coghlan then sent out a launch with
message to the garrison demanding
surrender. There was no response
and the Raleigh finally sent a six
inch shell through the commanders
house. The white flag was instantly
run up on the ruins of the earthworks.
Capt. Coghlan sent Lieut.. Rodman,
of the Raleigh, and Ensign Knepper,
of the Concord, with a landing party,
to demand absolute surrender.
This victory gives the Americans con-
troll of Subic bay, Spanish strategic
point, and illustrates the Spanish plans
to prolong their dominion in the Phil
ippines. The Spanish were endeavor-
ing to protect it with submarine mines,
and to make it ready for occupancy by
the Spanish fleet supposed to be on its
way from Spain. Adm. Dewey's pos
session of 5ubic bay defeats Ger
manY's supposed plans to interfere in
the Philippines. The plan was design
ed and executed with great dash and
bravery, and its success has surprised
the Germans and other foreigners
here
When the Raleigh and Concord en-
tered Subig bay the German war ships
left very suddenly. Although the at
titude of the Germans is still irritable,
Adm. Dewey is managing them with
great diplomacy. He does not expect
any trouble with them.
The blockade will, hereafter. DC
more rigid. Only the supply ships of
the American and foreign nations are
allowed to enter.
