WASHINGTON. Juy 2S.--In a dis
patch to the war deperimt nt last night
General shafter rtp,rted that about 500
new cases Of fever had developed in his
corps at Santiago Sunday. This num-
ber' includes of course, an classes Of
fever, probably some cases Of genuine
yellow fever
Only one death is reported. that one
being from yellow fever The cheering
intelligence is conveyed that the situa-
ton is improving and that about $50
men who have been III hoye .uraed to
duty.
The dispatch as postel hy the war
department is as follows:
Number Of new fever cases on the
gath inst about 500. At least $50 re-
turned 10 duty Actual figures will be
given hereafter Notwithstanding fig
ures situation seems somewhat improv-
ed. one death. Sergeant J. Larnenn,
Troop c. Third cavalry, yellow fever,
Siboney."
AS heretofore indicated by General
Shafter and the medical officers of his
corps. the cases OF fever are of a nota-
bly, mild type. The patients are III from
three days 10 a week and then return TO
duty quite as well as ever. The medical
officers concur In the opinion that this
fever renders the men immune, for the
time at least. 10 yellow fever.
The question of returning a large
part Of General Skaters command to
this country for rest and recuperation
was under consideration by the war Of
hcials, but the idea practically has been
abandoned, at least for the present.
Those who are III now or who have been
exposed 10 the infection are isolated in
detention camps and are not permitted
20 return to the main body of the troops
until all danger has been averted.
Through the adoption Of rigid sanitary
precautions and careful attention TO
those who fall nl it is expected that the
fever will run its course I'm compara-

that last winter his wife was attacked
with La Grippe, and her case grew SO

seemed to develop into HaSty Con-

Discovery in store, and selling lots of
it, he took a bottle home, and to the
surprise of all she began to get bet

Has it occurred to you that in this

large as yours, but is costs annually
only five times as much-in proportion
to it's size, your army costs four times
