DREAD YELLOW FEVER.
Fourteen Cases Reported Near Gen. shaft

1t Out-Icdical officer, Will Give
no Information.

Washington, July 13.--The next great
battle before the United States is that
with yellow fever, and although the prep
arations for meeting it are the most thor
ough and scientific ever devised 1t is no
secret that tho subject is giving the au-
thoritics in Washington considerable ap-
prehonsion.
Word was received ut the war depart
mcnt to-day that at Siboney, near Gen.
Skaters headquarters, IA cases of yellow
fever had been reported nine among the
soldiers and five among the non-combat-
ants. There are already rumors of AN cpl
demic in camp, but as yet they nave no
Official corroborutiun. The war depart
ment is relying principally upon prompt
action to stay the disease, II each suspect
ed case Is instantly removed from camp
to an isolated hospital, Of which several
are already established. Two of the best
experts in this disease are in charge, DR.,
John Guteras and DR.. Nicholas.
The present fever cases have been iso-
lated in the valley near Siboney, and
placed under the care of immune doctors
ana nurses, who had been provided in an
tlcipation of just such an emergency as
the present. Confidence Is expressed by
the medical officers of the army and navy
in Washington in the ability of our sur
gecns to stamp out the disease.
The advices speedily led to IL council at
the White House, at which Secretaries
Long and Alger went to the White House
he had a conference with Surgeon General
SternberG, who also had received de-
spatches from the surgical corps near
Santiago.
The medical officers of the army decline
to make any statement respecting the
health OF the troops at Santiago, ospec-
tally in response to questions whether te-
yer prevails to any great extent among
them. 1t is known, however. that Sur
geon General Sternbcrg is engaging the
services of additional immune doctors
and nurses for work in the hospitals. pr.
Sternbcrg thinks it unwise to discuss ;ho
question relating to the health OF the
troops, as this many only give rise to con
Cern, in many cases unwarranted, 20 their
friends at home.
That yellow fever existed in Santiago,
though never officially admitted, has been
known here for some time through pri-
vate letters from officers at the front ia
their friends, and the exodus from the city
to the vicinity of Shaftcrs camp Of is
600 inhabitants presumably for he most
part in destitute and filthy condition,
would afford ample opportunity for The
communication of the disease to the AM
erlcan troops We're not the strictest mea-
sures adopted to prevent interco. arse
able by the navy department, there has
been no sign of contagious disease among
any of the vessels of SIMPSONS fleet.
