ShNftcr Reports This Number for One
 Day-The Yellow Fever.


 Washington, July 24.-A dispatch re- ceived tonight from General Shafter by Adjutant General Corbin says that 396 new cases of fever of all classes were reported in his camp before San- tiago yesterday. As the same dispatch reports only four death, and none of them from yellow fever, from among the hundreds of cases of fever known to exist in the camp-the war authori- ties are more than ever inclined to the belief that the cases of yellow fever are of mild type. Previous dispatches from General Shafter and the medical officers of his corps have indicated the existence in the camp of very large number of cases of malarial and dengue fever, the latter being peculiar to the Cuban climate Some clear cases of yellow fever are reported, but the off, cials say they are few as compared with those of other levers. General Shafter's dispatch was made public by Adjutant General Corbin, as follows:

Dr. Brunncr assures me also that the conditions are no more pro- pitious for an outbreak of yellow fever this summer than they have been since 1Ss4. when Tampa had an experience of the fever.

Chairman III. H. HannnIssues Statement
 to Business Men.

Indianapolis, July 24.-Chairman Hugh H. Hanna of the monetary com mission has prepared a statement ad- dressed to the business men, setting forth the results of the work of the commission during the last session of congress. He says: ''The present status of undertaking to secure a comprehen- sive currency law is encouraging be- yond what we expected. In truth, the remarkably prompt appreciation of the value of organized effort and the reali- zation that the opportunity is at hand have resulted in very gratifying prog ress The bill as finally agreed upon and reported to the house has been generally approved by almost every one supporting the effort to accomplish comprehensive legislation. The mill in cludes all of the vital elements recom- mended by the monetary commission, but the detail of method differs in some respects radically. On the whole the bill reported by the committee is a greater step in the right direction than the business men had reason to expect would be secured at this early stage in the progress of the work
 "The passage of this bill will be the beginning of law for the best currency in the world. Of course, it is possible and probably that there may be objec- tions to the details of the bill and changes made before approved by both houses of congress, but the encourage ment is so great that all business men who recognize the extraordinary oppor- tIJn " ar yNa nj cd iy1 al ta ;+r- of effort henceforth to the final success of the consummation.
 '"The avoidance of dssension in dis cussion among the friends of this char acter of legislation upon the question of consideration seemed desirable, and it became a question of expediency. While approaching the force and fnfiu- ence upon the next election that would surely have followed if an affirmative action could have been had during the session just closed, the committee Is glad to assert at this period that, every thing considered, the present status is probably more favorable to ultimate legislation than would have been the case had number of leading republi- cans in the house disapproved of the action sought during the session. To measure the present condition it Is only necessary to say that there is every reason to believe that the president and all the leading administration officials, senators and representatives, who sign ed the petition now atand united in support of the general principles of the committees bill. There is every reason to believe that MT. Reed will be an earnest advocate of monetary 1egisla- tfOn. Plans will be formulated in due time in order that the business of the country may supplement the regular organization for work in the legislative and congressional districts.

wounded with them when they retreat ed. The telephone line connecting Managuas with Havana was partially destroyed by the insurgents, but the garrison of the forts repaired the dam age and re-established communication.
 Advices from Isabella de Sagua, un- der date of July 2l, report that on the previous day there appeared before Marillanos an American vessel, appar- ently a merchant marine, which had been converted into Warship. The pilot of the port set out in a small boat to make a reconnaissance, and five can non shots were fired at his boat by the American. A gunboat which put out from the port to reconnoitre was also fired upon, but no damage was done. The stranger was a long distance off shore. During the night the Yankee ship turned her searchlights on the port.

THE wAR "coRBEspoNDENrs.,
Shnfter Reports on Difficulties In Which
 They Have Involved Themselves.

They Have Involved Themselves.
 Washington, July 24.-In a report to the war department relative to the con- ditions at Santiago, General Shafter has thrown some light upon the diffi- culties in which certain of the newspa- per correspondents there have involved themselves From his report it would appear that, animated by an ambition to take a prominent part in the impor- tant events following each other in rap i'd succession at Santiago after the ini- tiation of the negotiations for the sur render of the city, a few of the corre- spondents were guilty of grave breach es of military law, necessitating prompt corrective action by General Shafter. Thus, for instance, one correspondent in his efforts to take part in the flag raising over the city hall resisted the military officers in the execution of their duty and even attempted a per- sonal assault upon the commanding general This made him subject to summary and severe punishment, even death, yet General Shafter, probably ' was the explanation of the action con- tented himself with expelling the corre- spondent from Cuba.
 A more serious offense, from the fact that 1t might easily have led to rioting and loss of life, was that of three other correspondents who, it appears by General Shafter's report, by circulating inf1ammatory posters stirred up the town. They were likewise deported, and as evidence that he has no personal il-feeling towards the paper represent ed by them, but desires only to exercise such control as is imperatively demand ed in the interest of safety of our troops and protection of the people under their care, General Shafter has declared that these correspondents may be replaced by others from the same newspaper who will observe the rules of prudence. No mention is made of any other cases requiring attention, and it is indicated that the relations between the news paper men and the army officers at Santiago are generally amicable and satisfactory.
 In a very dignified manner General Shafter takes notice of some of the severely critical newspaper articles that have appeared touching the con- dition of the troops before Santiago while they lay in the trenches. He ad- mits that there was a shortage of to- bacco for a time, but shows conclu- sively that there was no lack of the ne- cessities of life and the troops were ad- equately supplied with hard bread, ba- con, sugar and coffee. Although this bill of fare is not as extensive as that afforded troops in garrison, it embodies the main features of tie army ration while on field service and removed from a base of supplies. As it has been al legged in some quarters that there was a lack of purpose in the battles incident to the advance upon Santiago it is in teresting to note that while General Shafter admits that for two days he was himself lying ill owing to the great heat and exposure, he asserts that the plans laid down in advance for the movement were carried out with abso- 1ute eXactneSS

NO MENTION OF G4RCIA,s LETTER.
Shafter Has Not Yet Reported Any
 Trouble With Cuban General.

Washington, July 24.-General Shaf- ter reported by cable to-day that the condition of the troops at Santiago was rapidly improving. and he said that he hoped in the course of a day or two to have them all located in comfortable camps, where they may rest and recu- perate and where the sick may recover. He is feeding 11,000 of the Spanish prisoners of war, and although he has not yet been able to furnish them tents, this deficiency is being made good and meanwhile their present condition is no worse in this respect than was their condition before the surrender The general makes no mention of the alleg- ed letter from Garcia to himself, nor does he speak of any friction between them, whence the department has come to doubt the authenticity of pub- lished stories on these subjects.
