RUSHING THE DEPARTURE.
Commodore Watson Will Sail as
Soon as Possible.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The plans
for sending Commodore Watson's east
ern squadron to Spain have reached a
point where naval officials are consid
ering the exact day of departure, and it
is said that positive orders have been
given that Preparations must be
brought to a close at once, with a
view to having everything in readiness
by the end of this week. Two Of the
colliers which are to accompany the
expedition are at Norfolk for the pur-
pose of putting light batteries on them.
The officer in charge of the work has
estimated that it would take two weeks
more to get the batteries together and
have them mounted. This meant de-
lay, and an order has been given that
the work be completed this week or
else that the collierS go without their
light batteries. The same view is taken
as to the condition of the ships. The
fleet officers would like to have the
ships bottoms scraped and consider
able overhauling done. But this means
delay, and the disposition here is to
have the cleaning and repairing done
as we'll as possible by the men on the
ships, so that everything will be in
readiness by the end Of the week or
soon thereafter.

HE DISCOVERED 1T.
Signal Boy on the Iowa Saw Ger
vera's Fleet Coming.

NEW YORK, July 1S.-Joseph r.
Gaskin signal boy on the Iowa, says
that he was the first to discover the
Spanish fleet making its way out of
Santiago harbor. Gaskin resides in
Newark, N. j., and in a letter to his
sister, Mrs. NJ. II. Smith, he gives a
detailed account of how he went on
deck as usual for the signal watch at
s a. M. He had noticed suspicious in
dications the previous day and resolved
to keep a close lookout. An hour after
ward he reported that the smoke he
had observed in the harbor the day pre-
vious had moved near the entrance and
a few minutes later again reported that
the smoke was moving still closer.
Then" says Gaskin, of my own ac-
cord, I bent on the signal go, which
means The enemy's ships escaping
and laid it on the bridge ready to hoist.
At 9:30, just as the navigator was TAX
ing the deck, | reported a large black
ship in the entrance. The navigator,
without looking, said Bend on the
emergency signal. With that L ran
it up to the yard arm, and sounded the
alarm and in two minutes the ship was
ready for action"

that there are 25,O00 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 to-mor-
row.
Anxious inquiries from relatives and
friends of soldiers are coming to the
War Department, owing to the fever
reports. This has led to the consid-
GRAFTON of the practicability of getting
the full list of fever patients, mainly
as a means of relieving the anxiety of
those whose friends are not affected
1t is thought such list will be avail
able in a day or SO. In the meantime
inquiries have brought definite inforna-
ton that Brigadier General Duffield
whose condition has been open to much
doubt, was down with a mild case Of
fever 1t is giving the surgeons no
apprehension, as the attack is yielding
readily to treatment.

LULL IN ACTIVITY.
Much Less Serious Than
Supposed in Regard to Fever.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-With the
Santiago campaign successfully closed
there was a lull in the activity of the
War and Navy Departments to-day
and the officials expressed the belief
that the stirring developments of the
last few weeks would give way to the
details Of occupying Santiago. the ship
ping of Spanish prisoners to Spain,
coping with the yellow fever situation
and preparation for the next aggres-
sive campaign. No report from Gen.
eral 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 300, This lowered the estimate
by one-half from that given in press
dispatches, and was a source of salts
faction to the authorities Colonel
Aldon, Acting Surgeon General, says
the situation is much less serious than
would appear at first glance, for while
the aggregate of 800 seemed large it is
relatively small when 1t is remembered

RULING OF IMPORTANCE.
Power Of Attorney Must Have an
Additional Stamp Affixed.

NEW YORK, July 1S.-A ruling of
importance to the members of the Stock
Exchange was to-day received by Col
lector Treat of the Second Internal
Revenue District of this city from Com
missioner Scott of Washington. 1t is
to the effect that the power of attorney
on every certificate of transfer of stocks
must have a 2o-cent stamp affixed in
addition to the regular transfer tax of
81 per hundred shares. Mr.. Treat at
once transferred report of this ruling
to the President of the exchange, Ru-
dolph Keppler. who had been urging
for three weeks that the question be
decided one way or the other
The opinion works havoc with the
theory which had prevailed in the eX-
change that the law contemplates only
one tax on one transaction. The certifi-
Gates of transfer are usually for 1OO
shares at a time, and the ruling means
that the tax on every such transfer will
be $2.25, instead of So The cost to a
speculator for every 100 shares he sells
will therefore be for commission and
taxes S14.15.

headquarters has been issued to Colonel
Fred. Bennett of the Third Illinois In

COLLECTION OF CUSTOMS.
No Alterations in Rates Will Be
Made at Santiago at Present.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Secretary
Gage and Secretary Day had confer
ence at the Treasury Department this
afternoon on the collection Of customs
revenue at Santiago. Secretary Gage
and Assistant Secretary Howell have
been engaged all the morning in study
ing the Cuban tariff, and were surprised
to see that there We're only slight differ
ences in their principal features be-
tween the Cuban rates as applied to
Spain and our own rates under the
present law, but an increase of 30 per
cent in Cuban rates as applied to coun-
tries other than Spain.
1t was decided, therefore, not to
make any changes at present. and in
stead of formulating new rates, as was
contemplated this morning, schedules
of rates applicable to goods coming to
Cuba from Spain will be continued for
the present at least, and made to apply
to all goods without regard to the coun-
try of origin. The present rate of port
duties will also be continued If how
ever, it is learned later that these rates
are inconsistent or are excessive in any
particular, they will be modified ac-
cordingly.
The tariff was signed by President
Mckinley after brief conference this
afternoon with Secretaries Gage and
Aiger so that the tariff can be put in
force tomorrow morning. The new
tariff abolishes the discriminative tariff
now in operation there, the rates for
different countries at Cuban ports vary
ing. This country took as its basis the
rates accorded products of Spain and
applied them to all countries. not even
excepting the United States. The most
important change effected is a reduc-
ton of tonnage duty on ships carrying
> COO tons or more, which go in and out
of the port for the present rate of 81
ton, to rate of 20 cents per ton

Henry Watterson Does Not Favor
the Cervera Proposition.

LOUISVILLE, July 1S.-Henry Wat
terson, the editor and lecturer, when
asked to-day by an Associated Press
representative for his opinion on the
proposition to present Admiral Ceryera
with a home on Tampa Bay in recogni-
tion of his humane and chivalric treat
ment of Lieutenant Hobson and crew.
said:
II am disposed to regard the sugges-
tion as at the least premature if not
wholly i'll judged. That it springs from
a generous impulse may go without
question. But instead of being an ad-
vantage to Admiral Cervera it might
prove his undoing. He has not yet
been impeached at home. What may
happen in Spain as result of the war
no one can predict.
Admiral Cervera is undoubtedly a
gallant gentleman, a foeman worthy of
our steel, and he is already receiving

Sure enough, after a spell of silence
a queer rustling was heard in the bar
rel and the oysters opened their shells
and gaped for air, but the slightest
noise closed them again as tight as n
drum.

sometimes they were coming out of the
