STRICKEN WITH MALARIA
Our Soldiers Near Santiago Are in Danger
of a Spread of the
Disease.

Santiago de Cuba. July 25.-The re-
port published in the United States that
there are 80 cases of yellow fever in
the cavalry division proves, on investi-
sauon, to be unfounded, CAPTAIN
Housee requests that the report he
definitely denied.
The First. Third. Sixth and Ninth
volunteers, the First and Tenth reEi-
ment cavalry. and six companies of
Randolph light artillery. is encamped
about two miles northwest of FL Caney.
at the base of the mountains. The
camp is apparently perfectly healthy
as to location. and has a good water
supply. The ground is well drained.
Malarial fever is prevalent, but it al
ways yields to quinine treatment in
the course of four OF five days. The
fact that the immunes in the regiment
have had this fever as freely as the
other men shows that the Illness is not
yellow jack.
There have been no fatalities from
Iever thus far, but so long as the men
are exposed to the hot sun during the
day, the increasing rains and the heavy
night dews, malaria will increase and
our men grow worse. A second attack
Is much more difficult to eradicate, es-
pecially In the case Of men exposed to
the present conditions.
The cavalry are most anxious to pro-
coed to Porto Rico. but will be Obliged
to remain here until the Spanish pris-
oners of war have been transported to
Spain. which. 1t is believed. will have
been accomplished before the next
month Is well advanced The army Is
mentally depressed by inactivity and
the uncertainty as to its future moye-
ments,
