EXPECTING IMPORTANT NEWS.
Omctals Looking for TELEGRAM
From Gen. Merritt

Administration officials are expecting an
important telegram from General Merritt
and are awaiting its arrival with interest
Some OF them say that they would be pleas
ed If 1t contained the rews of the fall OF
Manila They are hopeful that it will con-
tain such news.
The occupation of Manila and bay by the
United States is one of the requirements of
the opening of peace negotiations with
Spain, but high officials say today that they
would prefer to know that the city was
captured, rather than that it should be
turned over to our forces by Spain under
the peace terms.
The capture of The city by the American
FORCES would give whatever claim that may
be made more force than its peaceful sur
render under other conditions.
A message was due from Gen Merritt
yesterday The fact that it had not ar
rived up to 1 o'clock today is taken by
some to mean that Gen. Merritt is en-
gagged In operations against the city and
has sent no report by a dispatch boat as
he would have done had conditions re-
rained unchanged.
The conditional surrender Of Manila, if
that occurs, will, 1t is feared by some, put
the Spaniards in position to demand many
things when peace commissioners meet

completion. With him have been a few of
the leading officers. The remainder of the

through the city six weeks hence, when it
is thought the ship will be in readiness.

surg. Gen. SternberE Issues n Circu-
lar ON Typhoid Fever.


The epidemic of typhoid fever which pre-
walls in so many of the camps of the army
is giving the War Department a great
deal of concern and steps are being taken
to check the fever and to prevent any fur
ther spread of the disease. Surgeon Cen
eral Sternberg today issued a circular call
ing attention to former circular issued by
the medical department April 20. The for
mer circular was devoted to recommenda-
lions for the health of the troops and min
utely pointed out what to avoid and how
camps should be conducted from a sanitary
point of view, together with suggestions
as to food and clothing of the soldiers. 1t
Is the opinion of the surgeon general that
these conditions have not been carried out.
and in his circular today he says:
The extensive prevalence of typhoid
1eVer in camps of instruction indicates that
the sanitary recommendations made in this
circular have not been carried out. If me,
ical officers have failed to make the prope :
recommendations as indicated the respon-
sfolllty rests with them. If the recon-
mendations have been made and not acted
upon by those having authority in the vari-
Gus camps the responsibility is not with
the medical department. but these recon-
mendations should be repeated and COM
manding officers urged to move their camps
at frequent intervals and to maintain
strict sanitary police"
General Sternberg hopes to have more IA
'oraole reports and to soon hear that the
epidemlc OF typhoid has been checked.

CONDITIONS NEAR SANTIAGO
Fresh Troops Gan Go There Without Sc
rious Danger.
Skaters Troops We're Thoroughly
Exhausted and Were an Easy
Prey to Disease.

Gen. Shafter this morning telegraphed
the President as follows In regard to the
recent reports from Santiago regarding
the condition of his army:
Il can very readily see what intense ex-
citement the publication must have oc-
casioned; great deal more than the situ-
alton warranted. Situation Is greatly ag-
grayated from the fact that before any of
the men were taken i'll they were thor
oughly exhausted. At least IS per cent of
the command had been down with malarial
fever, from which they recover very slowly
and are in no condition to stands an at
tack of yellow fever or dysentery
Placed here now in the condition in
which they were when they came here, 1
do not believe they would be in any par
ucular danger. The regiment of immunes
that recently arrived is not suffering at
all, and 1 don't believe they will. They
can keep out Of the sun. are we'll clothed
and well fed. What put my command in
Its present condition was the twenty days
OF the campaign when they had nothing
but meat, bread and coffee without change
Of clothes, without any shelter whatever
and during the period twice as stormy as
1t has been since the surrender, Fresh
troops rea ching here in the middle of Au-
gust with good camps. good water, abund-
ance of tentage-which they will find here
need not apprehend serious danger.
Il thank you for the high regard in
which you hold my command and the
value of the services they have rendered.
1t pays for all the suffering we have en-
dured. 1 have read this to Gems. Wheeler.
Lawton. Bates and Kent, who concur with
me in the view expressed above"
Cause of the Telegram.
General Skaters telegram was read to
Secretaries Alger and Long and ATTORNEY
General Griggs by the President and. after
discussion 1t was decided TO give 1t to the
public. The President and his secretaries
consider that the telegram is by far the
most definite and satisfactory which Gen
eral Shafter has ever sent from the front.
1t Is limited today that the telegram is in
answer to message sent few days ago
oy the President, which did not leave room
for any further indefinite statements from
the commander at Santiago. The Presi-
dent Is understood to have expressed a de-
sire for full and precise statement from
General Shafter.
Inc President is satisfied with what Cen
eral Shafter says Cabinet Officers this af
ternoon said they felt sure that the situa-
ton at Santiago had been Exaggerated, and
that troops sent there hereafter would be
in no serious danger 81 y

to report upon the circumstances attending
the informal issue of blankets, shoes and
clothing by First Lieut.. L. c. Smith, regi-

Lieut. Smith is not held criminally careless
in the conduct of his Office, yet the respon-
sibility for the shortage is fastened upon
him. and it is recommended that he make
good the value of the list of supplies, which
is, approximately, 500. A report has been
filed by the board of survey appointed by
General Merriam, finding that 1,o24 pairs of
shoes issued to the Tennessee regiment
were very inferior; that 1.074 Springfield
rifles furnished the same regiment were
second hand and worked over, though serv-
iceable. The condemnation of 1872 bayo-
net scabbards and an equal number of car
