YELLOW FEVER DREADED.
AS Soon as Possible Troops
Will Be Removed
From Cuba.

WASHINGTON, July A. 1888 Although
the reported appearance of few cases
of yellow fever among our troops in front
of Santiago presents a perplexing prob
lem to the President and his advisers, IL
is almost certain to result in the tenn
porary removal of practically all our land
forces from the island of Cuba as prompt
" as possible after the capture or sur
render of General ToraIs army
IN this connection the question OF With
holding for the present the expedition
now being fitted out against Porto Rico
has been under serious consideration but
up to this time no positive conclusion II
is thought has been reached. InvestiSa-
ton with respect to the climatic condi-
tions at San Juan, however, has con-
yinced the officials that there would pc
practically no danger to our troops there
from yellow fever which annuoiiy pre-
walls in nearly all parts of Cuba.
The city Of San Juan, which is built on
high ground. is said to be exceptionally
clean for Spanish town. The water Is
said to be good, and all things considered
it is not believed. that the present ar
rangements for the invasion of the is
land will be inIterfered with. None OF the
troops now in front of Santiago, IT is IN
derstood. will take part in this expedl-
ton. hut will be brought north to remain
until October, when it is expected the
danger from the Cuban fevers will nave
nassed

And commissioners is the usual mill
tary term given to persons charged with
such duties. General Corbin said that
under tho army regulations General
shafter has full authority to arrange with
General Toral for the appointment of one
or more commissioners for the purpose

He stated positively that no Instructions
on the particular point had been sent to
General shafter one way or the other and
Shafter was expected to act entirely in.
accordance with his original Instructions,
contemplating the unconditional surrender
of the Spanish forces
An important question has arisen over
the extent of General Torars command,
now that the question Of his surrender
has reached a eliminating point If he
commands only the forces within the city
Of Santiago then his surrender can affect
only these ten thousand men, though it
has been the expectation of officials here
that the surrender would include not only
Spanish forces at Santiago. but also those
at Hoguin, Manzanille. Bayamo and
other points in the province Of Santiago.
Whether Generals command extends
not known. In one of his communications
to General Shafter he designated himself
as commander of corps. A corps is
much larger than the command of ten
thousand men at Santiago and presum-
ably parts of his corps are at Holguin
and Manzanillo. In that event. as com
mander of the entire corps in the east
ern province, General Toral could nego-
tiate for the surrender not only of the
forces within Santiago city, but of all
those in the easternmost province OF
Cuba, estimated at some $1,000 men.
It can be stated positively that no
representations have yet been made to
the German Government respecting the
actions OF lne Ierliidti MAYA Soiiti'ieAiiN
ers in the Philippines. It is the opin-
ion of officials of the State Department
that Admiral Dewey has 50 conducted
himself in dealing with the foreign men
of-war in the Philippines as to leave no
room for suggestion or representation on
the part of the state Department and
so long as this state of affairs continues
it is not likely that there will be any
interference with this able officer

JARED MATTHEW'S DEATH
Jersey City's Police Gives Much
Information of the Rail-
road Tramp.

The finding of the body of Jared Mats
thews of Merrill Wisconsin, shot dead
and evidently robbed, in a freight car in
the Pennsylvania Railroad yard at VIII
mington, Del, yesterday morning, has led
to some interesting speculat.< in local
police circles as to where the murder was
committed. The car in which the body
was found. belonging to the Charleston
and Savannah Railway Company. arrived
in this city from the West at $3.50 o'clock
Monday morning. The train to which IL
was attached when the body was dis
covered at Wilmington left Jersey City
at seven o'clock that same morning. It
was therefore in the Pennsylvania yards
in this city two hours and a half and no
one recalls whether the interior of the car
was examined during that time.
1t is believed that there is no section IN
this part of the country at least more
infested with sHoboes'' of every deserip-
ton, some harmless, other criminals Of
the deepest dye, than the vicinity of the
railroad yards of the various great lines
that have their terminals in this city
They make the entire western slope OF
the Hill their rendezvous while in this
section. They come and go as oppor-
tunity to Jump freight is offered orr
inclination to reach this or that point
occurs. The meadows, too, which Chief
of Police Murphy calls NO Mans
Land. lying between the western slope
of the Hill and Harrison and Kearny,
are infested with these tramps. Some OF
them are of the pure wandering Viii
lie species. too lazy to even commit a
serious crime. They sally forth from
their rendezvous occasionally to knock at
the doors of the workingmen's dwellings
which dot the slope and ask for piece
of bread, some cold scraps, or cup OF
coffee
II is known that there ARE desperate
criminals in the band, who would not
hesitate to commit murder to rob and
cover up their tracks. Such a character
as Matthews is represented to be-a me-
chanic with s25 in his pockets. good clothes
on his back and valise full of linen,
travelling with such companions would
have to have charmed existence to es-
cape long without being stripped of
everything of value. even if he was not
murdered.
Chief Murphy aptly says that for every
case of atrocious assault or robbery COM
mitted by the hoboes while en- route on
the freight trains that become public, two
hundred are never heard for.

CASEY STOLE HIS SHOES.
Police Looked for Him While He
Quietly Slept in Cell.

James Casey, forty years old, Of No. 80
Provost street, was before Police Justice
Potts in the First Criminal Court this
morning, charged with stealing pair of
shoes, the property of Thomas Camp
bell, lodger in the washington Hotel," ;"
a cheap lodging house at No 30 Pavonia
avenue. 1t was alleged that while Camp
bell was a work Casey broke into his
ROOM took his shoes, which he pawned
for fifty cents. A waiter in the hotel
saw him leave with a bundle under his
arm, and he was traced to the pawn
shop.
The pawribroker gave an accurate de-
scription of him Campbell, who did not
know Casey, and had only the pawnbrok-
er's description to guide him, reported the
matter to the police of the Seventh street
station. Roundsman Toppln went in
search Of Casey. He hunted for him
among the wharves. knowing him to be a
cattle man. He spent three hours In a
vain search for him. When he returned
to the police station he told Roundsman
Scott that he did not believe he would be
able to get Casey.
What sort of looking man is hep"
asked Scott, who was not in the police
station when the robbery was reported,
Toppin described him and Scatt burst
out laughing.
"Take look in the cells and see If you
can find him there" he said.
Toppin looked, and sure enough, Casey
was in one of the cells, sleeping off a
drunk. He had walked into the police
station a few minutes before that, and
telling Roundsman Scott that he had
swum from Brooklyn and back again,
asked for a place to sleep as he was
tired His clothes were wet as if he had
been over board, and he was very drunk.
He was locked up for being drunk
In court this morning Campbell did not
have his witnesses present. Police Justice
Potts postponed the case Campbell said
he could not leave his work to appear
again in court He refused to sign a
complaint, which would compel him to ap-
pear and Casey was discharged.
