Troops Were Not Removed From
Santiago for Fear of Yellow Fever.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The day
would have been dull at the war de-
partment, considering the existence Of
a state Of war, had it not been for
the publication in the newspapers Of
the round robin, signed by the military
commanders at Santiago, and sharp but
short correspondence between Col.
Roosevelt and Secretary Alger. These
afforded food for much discussion
among all class Of officials, and the be-
lief is general that there are to be-
further interesting chapters in the cor
respondepce, provided it is deemed
harmless to the best interests Of the
army to allow further publications. In
proof Of the allegation that the war de-
partment had bestirred itself to succor
the unfortunate army in Santiago sbe-
fore the united protest was made, the
following statement was given out by
the secretary of war regarding the
shipment Of troops north from San
tiago:
Until quite recently it was supposed
that yellow fever was epidemic in San
tiago, and it was not believed that it
would be safe to send north shiploads
OF men largely infected with yellow
fever. The disease, it was believed,
would spread rapidly on shipboard, and
result in the death and burial of many
at sea-.
"On the 2Sth ultimo the secretary of
war telegraphed to Gen. Shafter that
as soon as the fever subsidized the men
Of his command would be moved north
to a camp that had been selected for
them on Montauk Point. On the 30th Of
July, Gen. Shafter telegraphed the sec
retary Of war a telegram that he had
informed the troops that they would be
moved north as soon as the fever had

knowledge Of the weather observer to
make any one who happened to be
about town aware that the storm, or
series Of storms rather, were accom-
panied by the most magnificent electri-
cal display that has been seen in these
parts for a good many years. A great
deal of the electrical energy that was
wasted originated in low lying clouds

might be straw at which the Spanish
cabinet would grasp. This is quite
doubtful, however, aus there Is ques-
ton whether the statement OF the
American general ever got outside the
borders of the United States, owing to
the strict censorship imposed last night
Moreover, all evidence reaching the Of

beyond the slightest question OF the
hopelessness of further opposition.

ment today from Ponce, the first an
nouncing the death of a brilliant young
army officer, and one from Gen. Miles
himself, touching the trouble in the
Sixth Massachusetts, regiment, which
was the subject Of inquiry by Secretary
Alger yesterday. Details of the latter
telegram are not obtainable, but it is
apparent that Gen. Miles is determined
to repress sternly at the very begin
ming any departure from military disci-
pline, even among the volunteer ele-
ment in his command. AS near as can
be gathered the officers OF the Sixth de-
clined to submit to an examination
which was prescribed by the brigade

OFF SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO.
Aug. (via st. Thomas, D. w. l., Aug.
6).-The Americans have fHken peace
full possession of the eastern portion OF
the island. Small parties Of marines
have been landed, who have lighted
lamps in the lighthouse at Cape San
Juan and other lighthouses along the
coast. They met with no resistance.
Indeed, at Cape San Juan deputatfons
OF citizens came out to meet them.
The Warships now in this vicinity are
the Montgomery, the Annapolis, the
Puritan and the Amphitrite The two
former are looking for the transports,
with troops, which left the United
States and have scattered all about the
island. The Annapolis rounded up the
Whitney, the Florida and the Raleigh
yesterday, and they are now at Cape
San Juan.
There seems to have been a serious
mistake as to the rendezvous, for no
two ships got to the same place, and
1t will take several days to locate them
and get them to Ponce, where Gen.
Miles Is waiting.
Off San Juan the cruiser New Or
leans alone maintains the blockade.
The city is grim and silent, but back
Of her yellow walls there will be plenty
of determination and fight when the
Americans open fire.
Capt. Gen. Macias has issued a proc
lamation, In the course of which he
says:
Spain has not sued for peace, and L
can drive off the American boats now
as l did SIMPSONS attempt before"
The daughter of the captain general

ish regulars in the city. The troops of
the enemy, who are retreating from
Ponce and the other towns on the south
coast occupied by the Americans, have
not yet arrived.
The German steamer Polynesia, with
cargo Of rum, canned meats and to-
bacco, tried to run the blockade this
morning, but was stopped by the New
Orleans.

His Idea of Tight lacing,

The subject of corsets and the injur-
ious effects of tight lacing among the
bellies of high society was recently un-
der discussion in the physiology class OF
a Wood county school, Later the
teacher gave quiz to the pupils. One
question touched upon the effects of
tight lacing as mentioned above. The
boy of the class had confused notion
of the article in question as his answer
herewith would indicate. He wrote:
The effects of tight lacing of tie feet
is harmful. II the shoes are too tight
it will make gall stones or corns on the
feet and the foot will be out of shape.

these articles Mr.. Johnson will explain
how the various rooms, Railways. ETC.,
of house may be artlstically furnished
and decorated at comparatively small
cost. Tie explanation is so clearly de-
tailed that, with the aid of the accom-
panying drawings, almost anv one with
taste may follow the instructions given
The articles will show how the interior
of a house may be transformed from
:he commonplace into thing of artistic
beauty and coZiness. There is no sub
iect of such vital interest to Americans
as the improvement of the home. and
Mr.. Johnson's articles will doubtless

Cat Catches Trout.

Iit-Bits: Arthur Rae Carter of Lang
holm, England, is the owner of cat
which catches front. The cat has been
bringing in trout after trout in the even
lngs, capturing eight one evening, five
another, four another, and so on.
Though its legs, head and breast got
wet, it is evident that the cat does not
fish in deep water, as it is never thor
oughly drenched. 1t brings the trout
to the house and gives them up. 1t
then cleans itself and slips off again.
1t was thought by some that it must
watch the fish jump and then sieze
them, but it recently brought an eel
home, and these fish do not jump.

tions at the Stock Exchange make some
difference and heavy railroad earnings,
but when all the transporting and
speculative interests are eliminated
there is still much larger business
than in any other month of any year.
Last year the exports were in volume
greater than in anv previous month in
the history of the country, but this year
the three weeks report shows an in
crease of % per cent. against 9 per cent.
in imports, which would indicate much
more than SIC, 900, 900 excess of exports
this month. The pa, ments through
clearing houses have been for the week
26.5 per cent. greater than last year and
l2.4 per cent. greater than in 1892, and
for the month IT'S per cent. larger than
in 1892. Until now no greater volume
of business has ever been done in the
history of this country than in the
closing month of this year.
