MERELY A SPANISH BLUFF.
No Danger of Camara Crossing the
AtIantfc-Watson'aS qundrOn.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Secretary Long
said to-day that no apprehension whatever
existed over the Spanish threat that the Ca
mara squadron would be divided, part of
the ships coming to this side to attack
American seaport cities. This is looked
upon as sheer bluff, and it will not have the
effect of changing any of the navy plans or
of Withdrawing any ships for patrol service
on the Atlantic coast Should the Spanish
threat be made good. ships more than a
match for any of Camara's vessels would be
available at any Atlantic port on short
notice.
No time has been set for the departure of
Commodore Watson's squadron for Spain,
although this move, also, is drawing near
rapidly. Secretary Long said to-day that
reported new lists of the ships for this
squadron were inaccurate, as the list had
not been finally made up. TWO of the col
are at Norfolk for the purpose of putting
light batteries on them. The officer in
charge of the work estimated that it would
take two weeks more to get these batteries
together and get them mounted. This meant
a delay. and an order has been issued that
the work be completed or else the golfers
go without their light batteries. The same
view is taken as to the condition of the
ships. The fleet officers would like to have
the ships bottoms scraped and considerable
overhauling done. But this means delay,
and the disposition here is to have the
cleaning and repairing done as well as pos
sible by the men on the ships, so that ev
erything will be in readiness by the end Of
the week or soon thereafter.

YELLOW FEVER CASES.
About 300 Soldiers Ill at Santiago
Gen. DuhieId a Sufferer.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-With the SAINT
iago campaign successfully closed, there
was lull in the activity of the War and
Navy Departments to-day, and the officials
expressed the belief that the stirring deve-
opments of the last few weeks would now
give way to the details of occupying SAINT
iago, and shipping of Spanish prisoners to
Spain coping with the yellow fever situa-
ton, and preparations for the next agrees
sive campaign. dispatch was received
late last night stating that the entire num-
her of fever cases up to that time did not
exceed 500. This lowered the estimate by
one-half from that given in press Dispatch
es, and was a source of satisfaction to the
authorities. Colonel Allen, acting surgeon
general says the situation is much less Sc
rious than would appear at first glance, for,
while the aggregate of 800 seems large, it
is relatively small when it is remembered
there are $4,000 troops AT the front. Surgeon
General Arthur. at New York, has been
given carte blanch to get there at the ear
lest possible moment large number of doc
tors and nurses familiar with fever cases.
They will go 10 Santiago on the Resolute,
which leaves the American line pier to-mor-
row morning. Many anxious inquiries from
relatives and friends of soldiers are COM
ing to the War Department, owing to the
fever reports This has led to consideration
of the practicability of getting the full list
lieving the anxiety of those whose friends
are not affected. 1t is thought such a list
will be available in a day or so. In the
meantime inquiries have brought definite
information that Brigadier General Duffield
whose condition has been open to much
doubt, was down with a mild case of fever.
II is giving the surgeons no apprehension,
as the attack Is yielding readily to treat
ment.
The following telegram was received from
DIR. La Garde, regarding the case of General
Dutheld II was dated yesterday. but id
not come to hand until to-day: General
Duffed who has yellow fever. is at the di-
vision hospital. but is doing nicely and is
much better to-day. General Duf1ield is
a man of vigorous constitution and no doubt
is felt that he will be able to recover from
the disease
One of the few kilograms which came to
the War Department to-day from the front
was from an officer of the signal corps 20
General Greedy, in refereace TO the grave
of Mr. Brewer, the postal official who died
near Santiago a few days ago. The dis
patch simply stated that the grave had
