proper conditions were as nearly ideal
as obtainable in the tropics for stamp
ing out the fever; high hills assured
well drained camps. most important
element in the preservation OF health
The water supply, coming from the
mountains, was pure and abundant
and fresh sea breezes prevailed While
the main body of troops is to be trans
ferred back TO the hills until they are
needed for service elsewhere, or are
returned to the United States. some
troops necessarily will be placed either
in the town itself or in camps COM
handing the place, in order to protect
the inhabitants. 1t is believed that the
two regiments of inmunes already on
their way TO Santiago VIII be assigned
to that duty. This viii be q severe test
of the principle involved that many or
the alleged immunes are merely per
sons who have spent only few weeks
in the tropics under conditions that
never brought them into direct ex-
posture TO yellow fever.
1t is the, present intention of the
authorities now to maintain military
government at Santiago, regardless of
hints from Cuban sources that they
are prepared to undertake the admin
istration there. 1t is believed that the
United States is under moral obliga-
ton to the world 10 see that nothing
but a highly civilized government shall
be set up in Cuba, wherefor the author
iCies here are disposed TO be extremely
cautious and to make full test of the
capacity of the Cubans before entrust-
ing the lives and property of the people
of Santiago to their care.

Philippine Protectorate.

London, July 1.-THE Sunday Times
this morning suggests that the United
States invite Grsat Britain, as the most
interested country, TO join with them
selves and Spain in protectorate over
the Philippines. until a government
capable of ruling without assistance
shall have been established.
The Chronicle this morning says it
believes that the conference between
the queen regent and General Weyler
means that her majesty is trying by
her personal influence to dissuade the
'Hyena" from violently adopting the
Carlist cause and taking his military
aGherents with him. The Chronicle
says: SPANS anxiety as to Gibraltar
is quite groundless, but il she. insists
on planting batteries to threaten our
harbor and coaling station, we shall
be obliged to stop it,
The Gibraltar spondent of the
Daily News says: A private letter
from Havana received here asserts that
a compact has been concluded between
General Gomez and Captain General
Blanco. The writer of the letter says
that Blanco. after peace has been ar
ranged, will be elected president of
Cuba just as Dom Pedro was elected
viceroy of Brazil. A popular English
yachtsman tells me that while he was
visiting here, the Spanish consul on
behalf of the Spanish government, Of
fered him the command of a cruiser.

Madrid, July IA member of the

serted that the government was seek
ing an honorable peace with the United
States.
FL Impartial says that a member of
the ministry declares that negotiations
for peace with the United States are
only possible so far as the question of
Cuba is concerned. To demand more
would be to say that Spain must COM
nit suicide. The report that Senior
Moret, minister of the colonies in the
last previous cabinet of Canovas, VIII
be the representative of Spain in the
negotiations with the United States, is
without foundation.

Admiral Camara's squadron and his

Perfect order is being maintained by

Scarcely any yellow fever. A small

posting arms since daylight in our ar

Washington, July 17.-General Cham
bers McKibben. who has been ap-
pointed temporary military governor Of
Santiago. is a member of an old and
well-known Pennsylvania family. He

field. Early in the civil war he en-
listed as a private in the regular army,

in General Skaters official reports.
He was among the officers recon-
mended for promotion. and was last
week named by the president as a brig

Shafter repose great confidence IN him

Red Cross Steamer Entered Santiago
Harbor Yesterday.

Harbor Yesterday.
Playa del Este. July F.-Stean
launches from the New York. Brook
Ign and Vixen entered the harbor this
morning and examined the batteries,
the wrecks of the MerriTnac and the
sunken Spanish cruiser Reina Mer-
cedes and the torpedo firing station.
They discovered six Spanish merchant
steamers and one small gunboat in the
harbor, and prize crew was placed
upon the latter.
This afternoon the torpedoes were
taken up or exploded, after which the
Red Cross steamer State of Texas en-
tered to give assistance to the sick and
wounded in the city. The warships
may not enter the harbor for several
days, probably not until after the ar
rangements have been completed for
transporting the Spanish prisoners to
Spain. Nearly all the American mem
of-Har are now in Guantanamo bay.
Commodore Watson's squadron is
preparing TO go to Spain, and several
vessels are preparing for the expedition
to Porto Rico.
The auxiliary cruiser Yale. with Cen
eral Miles, will probably leave for
Porto Rico in the course of a day or
two. General Miles says a sufficient
force will be sent to the island at once
and take it and hold it.
