outlay except for the rental of the tubes" This
is another lie. The Government Is expected to
rent the tubes. and then to hire engineers, mail
handlers. and furnish the steam and the COM
pressed air, the electricity. and everything else
that may be required to run them. Tho truth Is
that the company Is called on TO make but one
outlay. not the Government. The Government
has to make all the outlays except the laying Of
the tubes. The Tribune says the commercial fea.
ture of tho enterprise. such as the delivery Of
small merchandise. is vastly more important to
the company than the mail service. The sug-
gestion was made to THE SUN yesterday that II
this was so. it was mighty funny that the Tubu-
lar Dispatch Company didn't go to work and
put in tubes for the delivery Of small merchan-
disc without waiting to hold up the Government
for an appropriation.
Facts about this company that 1t is possible to
verify are very scarce. TIE Sun has looked up
the records in the Secretary of States Office and
in the County Clerks Office. When THE U
reporter in Albany searched the records on Mon
day he found only one annual report of the con-
dition or the company. This read: Annual
report OF the condition of the Tubular Dispatch
Company on tho LIST day OF January, 1897. Filed
pursuant to section 80 of the Stock Corporation
laws"

rectors of the Tubular Dispatch Company. do

THE YELLOW FEVER
 AMONG OUR TROOPS.
There Are Three Hundred and Ninety Five Cases, but Few Deaths Have
 Occurred From That Disease.

Washington, ,,July 26.-A dispatch re- ceived last night by Adjutant General Corbin says that 895 cases Of fever of all classes wereireported in his camp be- fore Santiago As the same dispatch reports only four deaths-none of them from yellow feyer-from among the hundreds of cases of fever known to ex- ist in the camp the war authorities are more than ever inclined to the belief that the caseslof yellow fever are of a mild type.
 Previous dispatches from E 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, officials say they are few as compared with those of other feyers.

SICKNESS AMONG
 PACIFIC SOLDIERS
More Men Are In the Hospitals rhe-s Now Than When the Camps
 Were Full.

San Francisco. July 26. - Sickness among the soldiers here is increasing. In the division hospital are POS patients, and in the barracks hospital 45. q total of S53 soldiers, not counting perhaps q hundred less severe cases in regimental hospitals.
 More soldiers are sick now than dur ing the bad weather when about II, ,000 were at Camp Merritt. where today there are only little over half that number.
 Dewitt L. Tucker, q private in compa- ny L, Fifty Iowa, died Sunday of pneumonia. The remains will be taken back to Council Bluffs for burial.
 Joseph Baker, private in company B, First Tennessee, died at the division hospital of dysentery.
 Several men i'll the hospitals are i'll a critical condition. Two cases of yari- oloid have been discovered in the sey- enth California. These men will be completely isolated
 It understood that Brigadier General Charles King will be i'll command of the next Manila expedition Ee will proba- bly, go either on the Arizona or scandia. Brigadier General Miller, now com- mander of the Presidio, probably will remain for the present, at the expressed desire of General Merriam.
 The transport ST. Paul has come off the dry dock at the Union ironworks and is now being prepared for the recep- tion of troops She will probably be ready to sail by the end of the week. The Arizona and Scandia will be in con- dition for the voyage to Manila about the same time. Extensive alterations are being made on the steamer Centen- nial, and she may yet be accepted by the government.
 Several priyates in the Kansas regi- ment. acting as correspondents for their home papers have been printing com blaming letters and i'll some cases severe criticisms of their officers. Colonel Funston ordered the fragrant offenders of them to be brought before him, to whom he gave a scathlng rebuke with the warning that they might expect se- we're punishment should they again of fend ill so unsoldierly manner

SPANISH CHEER THe
 STARS AND STRIPES.
Prisoners Leaving For Spain Sight Our Flag and Send up an Approval
 of Their Treatment.

New York, July 26. Prisoners of war cheering the flag of their captors was the unusual sight witnessed at the Union dock in Brooklyn Sunday. The sight was all the more significant as the cheers came from 254 Spanish prisoners captured on the four prize steamers now in port, who were about to sail for home under the British flag. They were on board the Hesperia, of the An. chor line, and just as she backed out of the dock one of the patrol gunboats came by. With one accord the prison. CTS raised three mighty cheers, which startled the people on the Brooklyn shore, and could be heard on Governors s island. It was the best they could do in thanking Uncle Sam for the kindness lavished on them while they were pris- oners.
 The Hesperia left at 3 D. m., bound for Italian ports. She will put the pris. oners on shore at Gibralter. The pris. oners were happy lot and their appear ance showed that they had been we'll treated while in enforced idleness.
 Among the 254 prisoners were six off. eers. They have saloon accommodate tions, while the others are in the steer age. One of the officers said:
 If our men ill the field realized ei- ther the hopelessness of our cause or the treatment they would get at the hands of the Americans they would not fight long. The quickest and easiest way to reach home is to surrender. I believe in fighting where there is chance, but our blockaded soldiers don't know we haven't chance. They can get home quicker by surrendering and in the meantime be we'll fed and taken care of. But they think the Americans will mur. der them ;
 The Austrian consul paid SIT head for the passage of each of the prisoners.

SAVED BY HIS sUsPENDERs.
The Narrow Escape of B Man Who
 Seemed Utterly Doomed.

Seemed Utterly Doomed.
 Seattle, Wash, July 26.-A ladder improvised from pair of saspenders and a few twigs was the means of escape of B. F. Pope of Mclean, Ills, from almost certain death i'll Alaska. His inventive genius came to his aid only after he had been imprisoned three days and three nights on a narrow ledge in canon of Low river one of the tributaries of Cop per river Below him was the swift mountain stream, while above him was granite cliff l500 feet high. He is now at Juneau, little the worse for his experience.
 The story of his adventure was brought to this city by F. S. Hildreth of New York, who had just returned from Baldes. The last week in May Pope and party of six soldiers were on the headwaters of the lower river, 36 miles from Baldes. The stream has never been surveyed, and the party, ignorant of it's dangers, dashed into the rapids. ending in 16-foot fall Over went their raft and moment later it turned over, broken i'll two.
 When Pope came to the top the sol diers had disappeared, and he succeeded i'll reaching ledge on the right bank. It was only wide enough for foothold and about five feet long. For three days Pope walked up and down his narrow prison, flashing his arms and stamping his feet to keep his blood in circulation. About noon of the third day he was de- batting whether it would not be better to plunge into the stream to certain death than starve, when a few rays of sun shine filtered through the rocks abover
 Just above him he saw clump of bushes. By means of ladder made of the bushes and his suspenders he clim bed from rock to rock to point 100 feet above the stream. Here he reached a better foothold and reach Baldes safely, and to his surprise found the soldiers un- injured They had reached the oppo- site side of the stream 200 feet below Pope and thought him drowned.

Another Steamer From Alaska.

Victoria, B. O., July 26.-The Gar rone has arrived here from St. Michaels. Her purser reports that her 166 passen- gers brought down close to $l,000,- GOO, but talk with the passengers leads to the belief thatsthe amount is exagger- ated. Most of the passengers came down the Yukon. They complain bitterly of the monopohstic tendency of certain trading corporations doing business in the northwest and say that corporations are trespassing on the rights and priyi- leges of individuals to'such extent that some decisive action must be taken by the authorities at Washington.

SHAFTER SPEAKS OUT.
yellow Journalists and Some G.. A
r.. Veterans Handled.

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. SO.-Postmaster
Willis received a letter from Gen. Shafter
to-day, dated Camp W1koff, Sept. 26, in
which he says of newspaper attacks upon
him:
1.-The attacks of the yellow press upon
me and others of the administration are
simply outrageous The articles are flied
with untruths. The behavior of some of
the yellow journalists was so outrageous
before we even got into Cuba that l had
TO put my hand on them, and after we
got into Cuba IL was worse. Their let
ters are the result of personal spite. If
| had come back with a defeated army
there might have been some excuse for
their talk. but having commanded one OF
the most successful campaigns of modern
military history, 1t is simply an outrage.
II am very fond of Evans (pension COM
missioner) and am very glad that you are
defending him. Some of The Grand Army
of the Republic are simply unbearable,
and seem to think if they can't have the
treasury turned over to them they are
being defrauded. Very truly yours,
civilian r. Shafter"

TWO FAVORITES TO TESTIFY.
GEN. WHEELER TO APPEAR BE-
FORE THE COMMISSION TUESDAY.

Gen. Lee VIII he Asked to Testify on
the Following Day-Gen. Wheeler
to Give Report of Affairs at Camp
WikOR and Before santiagO-No
Consideration of IA Policy Calling
Gen. Miles ar Gen. shafter to the
stnnd-CommissiOn stiI Consider-
ing Letters of CompIaint-Commis-
sioners May Visit Camp WilSoR.
Washington, Sept. s0.-The war lnvesti-
eating commission to-day decided to ask
Gen. Lee to follow Gen. Wheeler in CIV
ing testimony concerning the charges
made against the war department, and
suggested Wednesday of next week as a
date when he could be heard.
Gen. Wheeler will be before the commits
sion on Tuesday and will be interrogated
both about Camp Wikoff and the Santiago
campaign, the examination concerning
Santiago covering especially the facilities
for caring for the sick and wounded and
the precautions taken TO preserve the
health of the men in the trenches.
The commissioners state their purpose
to be to make very complete investigation
of these features of the Santiago siege,
but Vice Chairman DENLY said to-day
that the policy of calling Gen. Miles or
Gen. Shafter had not yet been under con-
sideration.
The commission to-day continued It's ex-
animation of letters bearing upon charges
of mismanagement, some of them calling
attention to such charges and others at
tempting to refute them. Many of the let
ters referred to newspaper reports of
abuses, and in most of such cases letters
were sent to the editors in question ask
ing them for specific information.
Many of the charges received by mail
are quite vague in character.
An officer in Pennsylvania regiment
wrote that he had been at Camp Thomas
that he knew the charges of mismanage-
ment were false. He expressed his will
ingness to come to Washington and give
the commission the information at his
command at his own expense.
To-day's letters deal especially with the
conditions at Camp Wikoff. In one in
stance a minister wrote that he had point
ed out the inaccessibility and exposed con-
dition of the location and the poor condi-
ton of the water before the place was Sc
lected.
The members of the commission express
their determination to make a very com
plete inspection of affairs at that point.
and 1t is probable that they will visit the
place as body.

TWO MANDAMUs CASES.
Filed Against Secretary Gage Re-
suIting From Bond AIIOtments.

Filled Against Secretary Gage Re-
suIting From Bond AIIOtments.
Washington, Sept. SO.-Two mandamus
cases were fled to-day in the Supreme
Court against Secretary Lyman j. Gage,
growing out of the issue of bonds to car
ry on the war
In the first case, William H. Wharton
of Jersey City sets up that he was
subscriber for $3.50 of the bonds. He en-
powered the Produce Exchange Trust
Company of New York to make the neces-
sary advancements of the bonds, holding
them as collateral. Thereafter Secretary
Gage refused 10 make this allotment on
bonds, on the grounds, ii is understood,
that the subscription was not bona fide,
but was made in the interest of a third
party.
The second suit Is instituted by George
B. Wightman and seeks to restrain Secre-
tary Gage from setting aside the award
of many small lots of bonds, aggregating
1886, $40, which were TO be handled through
the Produce Exchange Trust Company.
The court fixed the hearing for Oct
a.
Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle,
who was the predecessor of Mr.. Gage, is
the attorney for the plaintiffs. The cases
are understood to be test of many similar
cases,

CEN. WOODS eooD work.
A Letter TO Secretary AIser Recites
His achievements at Santiago.

Washington, Sept. SO.-In a long per-
sonaI letter to Secretary Alger, Gen. Leon
ard Wood. Military Governor of Santiago,
outlines the work he has accomplished
since he took charge of the city.
He says that when the American forces
entered the town the sanitary situation
was something frightful. Unburied dead
lay in the houses, 5000 Spanish sick and
wounded crowded the hospitals and bar
racks, a horde of 20,000 half-famished peo-
pie walked the streets, the water supply
had been cut off, and The streets were full
of dead animals and filthy materials. Be
cause of the advance of decomposition,
the dead were burned. Yellow fever was
raging. twenty or more cases being in the
Spanish hospitals alone and the charity
hospital was filled with dying persons.
Gen. Wood began systematically to i'm
prove the situation. He has 17O men con-
stantly at work and the death rate is only
one-fourth what it was in July.
The sick are given careful medical at
tention and the worthy poor are fed 15,000
rations being distributed every day The
garbage is taken outside the city and burn
ed, and the unhealthy parts of the city
have been drained.
The police force in the city and the light
house system in the harbor have been re-
established. The courts are not in opera
ton yet, but Gen. Wood himself sits each
day as police judge.
Since the Americans took the city, the
customs receipts have been $780, 600 The
present expenses attending the work of
operating the city, which are In some ex-
tent extraordinary, are about $1,000 week
BY the effective measures adopted by
Gen. Wood, a general epidemic of yellow
fever has been averted.
The general hopes soon to start the
schools, and thus get the children off the
streets.
