Troops Mentally Denressed.

Santiago de Cuba, via Kingston,
July 26.-The report published in the
United States that there are 80 cases of
yellow fever in the cavalry division
proves on investigation to be unfounded.
Captain House reports that there is no
sickness. The First, Sixth and Ninth
cavalry, the First and Tenth infantry
regiments and six companies of the
Randolph light artillery. are encamped
about two miles northwest OF Ell Caney,
at the base of the mountains. The
camp is apparently perfectly healthy,
as to the location, and has a good wa
ter supply. The ground is well
drained
Malaria fever is prevalent. but it al.
ways yields to quinine treatment in
the course of four or five days. The
fact that immunes of the regiment
have this fever as freely as the other
men shows that it is not yellow jack.
There have been no fatalities from ma
larial fever thus far, but so long as the
men are exposed to the hot sun during
the day, the increasing rain and heavy
dews, malaria will increase and our
men grow worse. A second attack is
much more difficult to eradicate, espe-
cially in the case of men exposed to the
present conditions.
The army is mentally depressed by
inactivity, and the uncertainty as to
its future movements. together with
the increasing malarial fever.

Terrible Execution by Dewey's Six.
Inch Shells.
New York, July 23.-A correspond.
ent of the Journal writing from Cavite,
Manila, July II, relates the result Of
the inspection Of the hulls of the Span.
ish warships sunk in Manila by the
squadron of Admiral Dewey. The
cruiser Rena Cristina shows the most
complete destruction. The course Of
the Olympia's 8-inch shells can be
clearly traced by the line of ruin ex-
tending from stern to waist There
are very few large shot holes through
the hull. the principal ones being from
six-inch shell amidships and from four.
inch shells. The cruiser Castillo is
less burned but terribly wrecked.
There are plain traces where six big
shells tore immenes holes in the wooden
hull. When the fire started, the weight
of guns caved the hull inwards. The
warship is now mass of twisted iron
and charred beams-a very bad wreck.
resembling that of the Maine in ape
pearance. Three large shells entered
the Don Antonio de Ulloa amdshirs,
but the vessel did not burn. She
sank quickly, riddled by shells OF all
sizes. The greatest havoc was done by
siX.inch shells.

ENGAGEMENT AT NIPE.
Particulars of the Battle on the North
Coast of Cuba.

Particulars of the Battle on the North
Coast of Cuba.
Key West, Fla, July 26. Acting
under orders of Rear-Admiral Samp-
son, four American warships Thursday
afternoon entered the harbor of Nipe,
on the northeast coast of the province
of Santiago de Cuba, and after furious
bombardment, took possession of the
harbor. The vessels engaged were the
Topeka, Annapolis, Wasp and Leyden.
In the course of an hour they si'
fenced the forts, sank the Spanish gun
boat Jorge Juan and scattered the
Spanish rif1emen who had taken part in
the engagement Captain Hunker then
ordered the ships to 60 in. The Wasp
and Leyden, being the smallest Of the
quartette, led the way, followed by the
Annapolis, while the Topeka. which
carried a heavier battery, brought up
the rear. The channel is very narrow,
and on the bluff to the right was fort
anil signal station.
AS the Wasp and Leyden rounded
the point, the forts fired a dozen shots,
none of which, however, fell near
them, and the Topeka returned the fire
with her three-pounders. Almost i'm
mediately the Spaniards deserted the
forts, and the Topeka continued to
send shells into them. A body of
riflemen on the beach returned the fire
with few wild shots, but they, too,
were quickly dispersed by the Topeka's
smaller guns. The Topeka also dis
charged two torpedoes. At the same
time, another small tort to the left of
the channel fired on the American
ships; but it was silenced as easily as
the other.
Meanwhile, the Wasp and Leyden
opened cross fire at the Jorge Juan,
which lay to the south, in front of the
town of Mayari. Her position was
about mile and a quarter from the
beach, and behind her was the third
fort. This fort opened on the Wasp
and Leyden, and as the Annapolis and
Topeka came up, the Spanish gunboat
joined in the fighting, and a general
battle followed. The Topeka anchored
in the middle of the harbor, about
1000 yards from the Jorge Juan, and
the other three American boats drew
up on either side and formed semi
circle. The Americans then closed in
on the Spanish ship, pouring in a de-
structive fire and on the forts behind.
The Topeka sent four-inch shells crash
ing into the Jorge Juan at such rate
that she sank within 20 minutes.
When the firing became heavy, the
officers and crew OF the Spaniard put
off in small boat and made the shore
under heavy fire and escaped into the
woods. Two shots from the Topeka's
bow gun dropped squarely into the
Mayari forts. The Spanish pennants
disappeared and the white flag was run
up. This ended short but one of the
most vicious battles of the war,

General Anderson's message gave the
cabinet food for consideration at its

Yellow Jack-Disease of Mild Type
-Shafter Reports That His Men Are
Being Located in Better Camps.
Washington, July ga dispatch
received by General Corbin from Gen
eral Shafter says that 396 new cases of
fever of all classes were reported in
his camp before Santiago yesterday.
AS the same dispatch reports only four
Deaths, none of them from yellow
fever, from among the hundreds of
fever cases in the camp, the war
authorities are more than ever inclined
to the belief that the yellow fever cases
are of mild type. Previous dis
patches from Shafter and the medical
officers OF his corps have indicated the
existence in camp of very large num-
Der of cases of malarial fever and
dengue fever, the latter common in the
Cuban climate. Some clear cases of
yellow fever are reported, but the off,
cials say they are few as compared with
those of other fevers.
General Skaters dispatch received
by General Corbin is as follows:
Santiago de Cuba, July 26.-Num-
beI of new cases OF fever of all classes
yesterday approximately. 996. Deaths
not previously reported, Private Daniel
Stone, company D, First Illinois, ty-
phoid fever, July 20; Sergeant J. Blair,
regimenta( quartermaster. died July 22
of dengue fever; Privates William Pea
cock and CARAT Learnesheck, both of
company e, Second infantry"
General Shafter reported by cable to-
day that the condition OF the troops at
Santiago was rapidly improving, and
said he hoped in the course of a day or
two to have the men located in COM
Portable camps. where they may rest
and recuperate and where the sick may
recover.
He is feeding II 900 Spaniards, pris-
oners of war, and although he has not
yet been able to furnish them tents,
this deficiency is being made good, and
their condition is no worse in this re-
spect than was their condition before
the surrender.

CHEERED THE ENEMY'S FLAG.

How Spanish Prisoners Thanked Uncle
Sam for His Kindness.
New York, July 26.-Prisoners of
war cheering the flag of their captors
was the unusual sight witnessed at the
Union dock in Brooklyn today. The
sight was all the more significant as
the cheers came from Spanish throats.
The 254 prisoners captured on the four
prize steamers now in port were about
to sail for home under the British flag.
They were on board the Hesperia, and
just as she backed out of the dock, one
OF the patrol gunboats came by. With
one accord, the prisoners raised three
mighty cheers, which startled the peo-
pie on the Brooklyn bridge, and could
be heard on Governors island. II
was the best they could do in thank ing
Uncle Sam for the kindness lavished
on them while prisoners. The He's.
peria left at 3 P. NJ. The prisoners
were a happy lot, and their appearance
showed that they had been well treated
while i'll enforced idleness. Among the
prisoners were six officers. They have
saloon accommodations, while the 9th.
ers are III the steerage.

Although Admiral Camara's squadron is at Port Said, there is still doubt that the vessels are bound for the Philip pines Rumors reach here that the only ironclads in the squadron, the Pelayo and Carlos V, have left the squadron and have returned to Spain, so that Camara no longer possesses a force that would threaten Dewey. If this be so either the Spanish have realized the folly of leaving their home ports un- protected or they have received infor- nation from the British Government that the navigation of the Suez canal cannot be jeopardized by allowing such deep draft, unwieldy ironclads to at tempt the passage.
 Some attention has been attracted by special from Madrid to a British paper saying that Camara's purpose is not to attack Dewey, but to seize and hold with ships and troops another island in the Philippine group. It is suspected if this be so that the object is purely diplimatic, the Spanish Gov ernment being anxious to truthfully assert in the event that peace negotia- tions are forced upon it that the United States is not in such complete occu- pancy of the Philippines as would jus tify a demand for their retention as one of the terms of peace.

CAMERA'S SHIPS MHY NOT PASS
 THROUGH THE CANA

NEW YORK, June 26-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: In some circles doubt still exists that the Spanish vessels are going to the Philip pines.
 Tt is my belief'' said a prominent naval officer with whom I talked. that the canal commissioners will refuse to permit the Pelayo and Carlos V to go through the Suez canal on the ground that their draft is too great. Then these vessels will return to Spain, and the people will be told that it is impossible to go to the relief of the Spanish army In the Philippines because the water way is closed to them Or it may be that Spain hopes that before the fleet reaches the Philippines that peace will be declared. This means that she will save the only two iron-cIads she has. She doubtless appreciated that the dis patch of the vessels to the West Indias would mean their prompt destruction or capture. Public opinion requires that they leave Spain, and therefore she sends them to the far East for the reason that before their arrival at their destination peace may be secured"

 Gold braid and shoulder straps will do a good deal toward making life on transport bearable, but in the case of seasickness it availeth not whether man is a cook or a colonel.

LIFE ON BOARD THE
 TRANSPORTS

ON BOARD THE TROOPSHIP CITY OF PEKING, at Honolulu, June 16.- The day we sailed from San Francisco the quays were lined, from the Potrero to Meiggs Wharf, with thousands upon thousands of weeping mothers and wives, who had gathered to bid god speed to their dear ones, and who, when the transports had passed be- yond their immediate range of vision, returned to their lonely homes over looking the Western seas and ccntin- ued their sorrowful vigil until the dark mantle of night descended upon the ocean and hid from view the three slen- der columns of smoke ascending to mingle with the shadows of the distant horizon.
 I suppose ever since our departure those same mothers, sisters and sweet hearts have been anXiously awaiting some word from the boys in blue. Let them know that, as far as the First is concerned, they need have no anxiety. Alfs well-more than well, in the civil ians acceptation of that term. There is not man in the entire regiment, from the exceedingly common private to the magnificent officer and the still grander member of the staff, who is not physically perfect from the bottom of his regulation clad feet to the top of his closely cropped head
 Twas not thus from the very incep- tion of our trip, however. Hardly had the bar been reached before half the regiment-off1cers and all-were leaning
