WASHINGTON, July 24.-Emperor William has sent a message to Presi- dent Mckinley which is exceedingly gratifying in tone It was communi- cated to the President on Friday, just before the Cabinet meeting, by the Ger man Ambassador, Von Hollenben. The exact nature of the communication can not be learned. It is guarded with ex ceptional care and precautions have been taken to prevent even an intima- tion of the character of the message escaping official circles.
 From this it is believed that the com notification nav be the forerunner of others from which the administration expects important results, and that 1t is the beginning of negotiations of 8 weighty character. All that is known now is that the message was most friendly in tone and that it's receipt has given great pleasure to the Presi- dent and his advisers. Officially there has been no correspondence between Washington and Berlin which has been stiff or unfriendly.
 The conduct of German ships in the Philippines appears to be a matter thus far solely between Admiral von Diede- richs and Admiral Dewey. The gov ernment at Washington has made no representations to the government at Berlin with regard to the incident in Subig Bay, and the wisdom of this re- straint appears now in the friendly ap- breaches which have just been made If 1t be true, as observers in London in timate, that Germany and England are

CAVALRY FREE FROM
 THE YELLOW FEVER
There Have Been No FatalitiesA but the Outlook for the Future Is
 Not Encouraging.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 23 Gvia Kingston, Jamaica, July 20.-The report published in the United States that there are thirty cases of yellow fever in }the cavalry division proves, on investigation to be unfounded. Captain House requests that the report be definitely denied.
 There have beeR no fatalities from fever thus far. but so long as the linen 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 attaI Ick Is much more difficult to eradicate, 9s- pecially in the case of men exposed Ito the present conditions.
 The cavalry Is anxious to proceed Sto Porto Rico, but will be obliged to remain here until the Spanish prisoners of wh have been transported to Spain, which, 1t Is believed, will have been acconh- plished before the next month Is we'll advanced. The army Is mentally d@- pressed by inactivity and the uncertainty as to it's future movements, together with the increasing malarial fever.

FRIENDLY TERMS OF A NOTE FROM
 KAISER WILHELM
President Mckinley Pleased by a Communication Received
 From Berlin.

coming close together, the visit of En- bassador won Hollenben to the White House on Friday may be diplomatic incident of the very highest import ance.
 This is not the only diplomatic incl dent of recent occurrence which may have an important bearing on the progress of the war. There is reason to believe that informal intimations have been made by the representatives of certain European Governments with regard to the purpose of sending Wat sons fleet across the Atlantic, which, while they were in no way protests or objections, betrayed a mild curiosity as to the destination of the fleet, and made it seem advisable to the admin istration to defer for a time the send ing of Watson on his European mis- sion.
 The semi-official announcement that the fleet was not to lombard Spanish cities and was not directed extensively against the Spanish coast is believed to have been drawn out in a manner by these intimations and to have been in- tended as an indirect response to them.
 So long as the object of the visit to European waters is to meet and de- stroy or capture the ships under Ca- mara's command there can be no pos sible objection on the part of any neu- tral European power, and, this assur- ance having been given, the United States will be in a position later, if need be, to intimate that the Euro pean powers might advantageous use their influence with Spain to bring her to ask that a devastating war be brought to an end.

FOREIGN POLICY OF THIS NATION
 TO BE DISCUSSED
Civic Federation of Chicago Is- sues a Call for a National
 Conference.

CHICAGO, July 24-The Civic Fed eration of Chicago tonight gave out a call for national conference to be held at Saratoga Springs, N. Y, Aug ust 19 and 20 to discuss the future for eign policy of the United States. The call is signed by over 1000 men in every State in the Union. It says:
 The undersigned deem it necessary that a national conference be convened at an early day to consider the future of the war with Spain gives promise of the over throw of Spanish power in Cuba. Porto Rico, the Philippines and other of that countrys colonial possessions. The ques- tion of what disposition the United States should make of these possessions when peace Is reached is none too soon in en- gazing the thought of our people. The question impresseS us as being one of the most serious the Aemrican people have one on which heretofore very little thought has been bestowed by the great majority of our people. Whether the for eign policy of the fathers should be ad- hered to or departed from is enough to challenge the most careful consideration of our ablest and thoughtful men.
 In our opinion this conference should be composed of men from all parts of the country, without respect to party affiila- tions, whether they are for or against policy of territorial expansion, and men whose ability, position and character en- title their opinions to the respectful con- sideration of the peonle.

PREP AIRED FOR
 THE INQUIRY AgneWs Ring Outlines
 It's Course. GOULD GIVES INSTRUCTIONS SUNDAY CONFERENCE AT THE
 ASYLUM.
Detective Frost Expected to Give Testimony That Will Be of Great Assistance to Dr.
 Sponogle.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, July 24.-Trustees Gould, Curnow and Hale and Dr. Sponogle had lunch together at Agnews Asylum to-day and afterward held a confer ence. The coming investigation was the sole subject of discussion. Trustee Gould, with his usual cunning, outlined the programme to be followed.
 It is expected the charges of immoral conduct against Mrs. Madigan and Tourtillott will be taken up and dis posed of in a couple of hours. Then Dr. Sponogle will demand that the charges against him of the alleged killing of his first wife for her life insurance and the ruining of girl in Fresno will be investigated. Then, as Trustee Gould has dictated, Detective Erwin Frost will be called to the stand. He will back down from his previous statement about Dr. Sponogle, and, in order to wash his hands of the affair, will swear that he was hired by Trustee White to dig up evidence against the medical directors charac- ter.
 The Trustees to-day discussed the evidence they expect to come before the board and their plans were given to their workers so that the asylum em- ployes could govern their testimony ac- cordingly, if called at the investiga- ton. Dr. Sponogle told those present that he had letters that would clear him of the charges and that a number of witnesses from Sacramento had vol unteered their services if needed to ex- onerate him.
 Dr. Sponogle also expressed a desire for redress in court against those who, he claims, have defamed him.
 Trustee Gould, who is accompanied by his little daughter, has ,ensconeed himself in the finest suite of( rooms of the asylum, and there he will $tay until the investigation closes. He is a mighty monarch there and the employees pay him as much homage than eAver did subjects to king. He and Tourtillott have seen most of those who expected to be called at the investigation and everything now is in readinessS for the coat of kalsomine.

NO MORE ASSISTANCE
 FOR GENERAL GARCIA
American Supplies Denied Him as Long as He Maintains His
 Present Attitude.

NEW YORK, July 24-A Washington special to the Herald says; Major Gen eral Shafter is still leaving the admins tration in official ignorance of tne corre- spondence that has passed between him and General Garcia. The information at hand seems to indicate, however. that the American commander was not discourte- ous to the Cuban general, as has been all legged. The only substantial ground that Garcia had, as the matter is understood here, was that General Shafter had failed to invite him or any member of his staff to witness the surrender of the Spanish forces and the raising of the American flag over the city of Santiago de Cuba.
 General Shafter's course in refusing to turn the city of Santiago over to the Gu bans meets with entire approval here Had he placed the Cubans in control he would have in effect recognized the Cuban republic, thing Congress expressly re fused to do, and which the President does not think should be done until it is seen whether there is stable government on the island to recognize There is to be no change in the policy of the Govern ment in sending supplies and arms to the Cubans, except that those under Garcia probably will not receive more assistance as long as their leader maintains his present attitude.
