0sJ0s General Shafter Reports About
500 New Cases Of Fever.
WASHINGTON. July 27.-In q dispatch
to the war department General Shafter
report that about 500 new cases of
fever developed in his corps at San.
tiago the previous day. This number
includes, Of course, all classes Of fevers,
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 situation is improving and that
about 400 men who have been ill have
returned to duty.
AZ heretofore indicated by General
Shafter and the medical officers OF his
corps, the cases Of fever are OF a not.
ably mild type. The patients are i'll
from three days to . week and then re.
turn to duty quite as we'll as ever The
medical officers concur in the opinion
that this fever

Tho question OF returning q large
part OF General Skaters com mand to
this country for rest and recuperation
was under consideration by the war
omcials but the idea practically has
been abandoned at least for the pres.
ent. Those who are i'll now or who
have been exposed to the infection are
isolated in detention camps and are
not permitted to return to the main
body OF the troops until all danger has
been averted. Through the adoption
OF rigid sanitary precautions and care.

expected that the fever will run its

Wool Exchange Suspends

The Wool Exchange auctions at New
York city have been suspended, owing, It
is said. TO the prevailing depression in The
wool market. Several weeks ago, says the
American Banker, tn secretary OF the ex-
change estimated the amount Of wool on
hand at go .000,00 pounds. a quantity suf-
ficient to keep the machinery running for
twelve months on ordinary time But from
this ne declared about 10000 900 pounds,
which he estimated as held by growers
waiting for better prices and 90 1000 900
pounds held In bonded warehouses, leaving
400 000,0 900 pounds available for Industrial
use. or sufficient TO keep the mills going
for abou; seven months. This Is a much
more conservative estimate than others
that we have seen. The cessation Of auc-
tion sales Of wool indicates that the large
estimates are more nearly In harmony with
the facts. THE market Is in no condition
for public transactions" says the president
OF the exchange. ''Yn my eighteen years
experience have never before known any
thing like It, AS a matter of fact there is
so vast quantity OF wool in the country
that a public auction would mean slaugf-
ter. OF prices" II is interesting to note that
the consumption Of wool In this country
displays Q tendency to increase much more
rapidly than the growth of popula ation
Slnce 1890 the consumptive demand for wool
has Increased 5S per cent, against an in
crease OF about IA per cent In the popula-
ttOn.
