GREAT CARE
Will Be Exercised to Prevent the
Introduction of Yellow Fever Into
the United States.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Adjutant Cen
eral Corbin said to-day that the question
of the disposition of the troops under
Gen. Shafter at Santiago was not yet
settled. 1t is certain, however, that there
will be no general movement of troops
from Santiago until after the Spanish
prisoners have been removed and there
is some definite military progress in Por-
to Rico. The health conditions OF the ar
my at Santiago will have considerable TO
do with the future movements of those
troops The War Department is taking
steps for the establishment Of reserve
camps at convenient places In the United
States. The military medical authorities
are confident of their ability to handle
and stamp Que disease among the troops
in eastern Cuba. When that has been &C
compilshed it is more than probable that
the majority of the troops there may be
returned to the United States and given
a short holiday prior to the institution OF
the campaign against Havana, and 1t Is
not Improbable that some of the regl-
ments which are entirely free from dis
ease may be allotted to come to the
United States In advance Of any general
movement in that direction Great care
will be taken to avoid the Introduction of
yellow fever into the United States.

Nine Inspector Davis. Of Fairmont,

Untruthfnl Report in an Evening
Paper Of Mine Explosion at BEN
wood = Highly Indignant About
the Matter Benwood Red Men
Have Flag Raising---Other Notes.
S. A. Lewis, mine inspector, arrived
in town yesterday from Fairmont to
inspect the condition of the mines at
the Wheeling Iron and Steel Works.
He had read the highly sensational
and untruthful report Of the explosion
in the evening paper. and came here,
supposing that the mine was IN ter
rible condition and demanded his in
spection. When he arrived here, how
ever, and learned o. the true state of
affairs and the general reputation Of
the aforesaid evening paper for gen.
eral unreliability, he became very in
dignant and denounced the paper in
unmeasured terms. He said that a
number of Fairmont people who had
relatives working in the mine were
greatly worked up and intensely anx-
ious on account of the report that had
been published by the evening paper
He did not make an inspection of the
mine, as he found it unnecessary. The
three men who were slightly injured.
as correctly reported in yesterdays
Register, are getting along all right.
One Of them, Wycoff, who was reported
by the evening paper to be seriously
burned, went to work yesterday.
Bolin and Houston we're only slightly
injured. Their worst injuries were
caused by inhaling fire damp.

Peace COMMISSION Will Be della AYED some TIME
Spanish File Requests for Certain Trade Conces-
sions in Cuba Which Will Require
Long Consideration.

PARIS. Dec. 1.-Anxious as both are TO
conclude their work. the United States and
Spanish peace commissioners did not hold
a Joint session today. Their next meet
Ing will be held at o'clock tomorrow az
ternoon. This delay arose from the fact
tina: the Spanish commissioners at yester-
days session offered several urgent propo-
s;tions which called for special delioeration
upon the part of the Americans Spain
asks the United States TO grant for term
Of years to Spain's ships carrying Spanish
goods or products TO Porto Rico and Cuba
the same privilege as American vessels en-
gagged in the same trade may have. and she
qualities this request by a proviso that
trade privileges be extended To Cuba SO
long as the United States government
dominates over the island.
In support Of this request the Spanish
commissioners assert that Spain cannot.
without vital harm Immediately abandon
or cut the business relations SO long main-
tanned between the mother country and the
West Indian territory. They declare that
family ties and social relations, added 20
affairs OF trade maintained through CEN
turtles. requires gradual dissolution They
invoke the terms Of the treaty Of 1919, by
which the United States took over Flor
lila from Spain. and in the fifteenth article
OF which granted Spain for twelve years
the right 10 send her goods and products
to Flortia in Spanish ships on the same
terms as the ships carrying thitner goods
and products OF the United States.
The Spanish commissioners cite further
the fact that the treaty OF 1853 with France
for the cessson of Louisiana granted

the same terms as Americans in New Or
leans and other ports in the ceded terri
tory. Finally, Spain points to the Ameri-
can proposed "open door" policy in the
Philippines, and asks a guaranty of the
same advantages In her West Indian coll
onies until trade relations can by degrees
accustom themselves TO the change.
The proposition and tas Arguments by
which II was supported are considered
strongly stated ard the American COM
nlissioners desire time for delfoeratioa.
Thus although they were busy until nearly
2 O'Clock this morning. they were not fully
prepared and today sent a message 20 Sem
or Rios, requesting that the joint session
fixed for this afternoon De postponed until
tomorrow.
Meanwhile the Spanish commissioners
had been preparing a list OF subjects for
negotiation, supplemented by suggestions
counter 10 and amendatory OF the subjects
the Americans submitted yesterday.
This came 10 the American commission
ers today in Spanish, rendering it even
more desirable To postpone the joint ses-
sion in order to give time for translation
ana consideration. Tha translation is being
made this evening and the subject will be
laid before the American commissioners to-
morrow morning.
Now that the first gust OF chagrin has
passed, the Spanish commissioners are
meeting the Americans in a frank splri,
that is helpful 10 al early completion Of
the negotiations.
At midnight, from information which
comes 10 the correspondent Of the Associat-
