the troops, DR.. Guiteras said: "The
yellow fever cases thus far have been
Of slight order and mortality among

most serious sources of trouble at
present is typhoid fever and malarial.
Most of the men i'll in the hospitals
are suffering from one or the other of

however, the yellow fover will become
more serious, and then it will be
worse than the typhoid"

The Madrid conference between the
political leaders on the subject Of the
peace terms continue. Seaor silvela,
the conservative leader, acting in be-
half Of Senior CASTELAR,, the Republi-
can leader, who was prevented by i'll
ness from being present, conferred
with the premier, Senior Sagasta, Fri
day on the subject. He said Senior
CASTELAR,, although an advocate Of
peace, was Of the opinion that in ne
sotiatiag its conclusion the govern
ment "should remember the Virgini-
us affair, when the energy displayed
by Spain in dealing with the United
States saved Spanish interests and
he thought every effort should be made
to preserve Spanish sovereignty over
Porto Rioo."
Senior Silvela added that he person
ally did not favor any change of
policy.
The Liberal has published an inter
view with Marshal Martinez de Cam
pos, who is quoted as saying:
II openly favor peace. Everything
that has happened in this war could
have been foreseen, but the most pes
simistic could never have imagined
that our misfortQnes would be so
great--the destruction of Montejo's
and Cer7era's squadrons, the surren-
der Of Santiago, and the rapid and IN
resisted occupation Of Porto Rico.
No one could have imagined it, even
taking into consideration the supe-
riority of the United States
Neither the present government
nor any other can change our situa-
lion. It woul id be madness to think
Of rejecting President McKinley's de-
mands. The Liberal party can bring
about peace, but Sagasta should be
asked to Sign 1t. Such d course would
not be prudent, and another Liberal
cabinet should be constructed.
Marshal Martinez de Campos, it is |
pointed out, evidently referred to
Senior Camazo, as the man who should |
succeed Senior Sagasta as premier.
Senior Calnazo is the present minister
Of public instruction. His name has
been frequently mentioned recently in
connection with the premiership, in
the event Of the formation of new
cabinet.
AT the cabinet council Friday even
ing Senior Sagasta recounted to his COL
leagues what had been said in the con-
terence with the various political lead
ors early in the day. No decision was
taken.
Senior Puigcerver, minister of e.
nance, read proposal to increase the
1ote circulation and guarantee of the
Bank Of Spain.
The council also considered an off,
:ial dispatch from Santiago signed by
roral saying that owing to the small
less Of the camp which the Americans
lad conceded tho absence of tents and
he proper food the number of Spanish {
lick had increased to 10000, the death
ate being from twelve to fourteen

This readiness to accept the wonderful
and miraculous in preference to COM
monplace truth. A plausible and GLIB
tongued doctor can go from town to town
curing, or trying to cure, people, and
have great influx of shekels, while
every community in which the so-called
doctor goes is supplied with quiet,
learned practitioners, who have forgotten
more than the fakir ever learned, and
they can give you the best treatment
within the reach of human knowledge.
While your home doctors carry you from
year to year, get up at all times of the
night and are your servants during the
day, and you pay them when you are
we'll or able, the fakir gets the cash, and
