owing To- II fear that the Americans will
turn the city over to the Cubans for self

to the uncertainties of the future. Orders
that were given during the first days of

While nothing definite is wnown TO

plans for the immediate future, the
statement in his dispatch that the troops
will soon be in the mountains. is taken to

on toward San Juan. The lighters taken
at Playa will enable him to speedily
land the troops of the expedition as they
arrive. and it is believed there will be
no delay i'll the reduction of the entire
island. 1t is expected that the Spanish
forces will offer no vigorous opposition
to the United States troops until San
Juan is reached. There the great battle
in the capture of the island will he
fought unless in the meantime Spain
should conclude to yield to the inevitable.

Among Our Troops
Chicago. His. July 29-The first
definite statement was made to-day as
to how yellow fever was brought into
the ranks of the American army in
Cuba. Mr.. Ii. l.. Beach. who represent
ed the Associated Press along the fight
ing line at Santiago. and who has just
returned to Chicago, made the state
nlent as follows:
1T is an actual fact-something ! saw
with my own eycS-that our army am
balances were used to carry Cuban
refugees who had He'd from Santiago.
and who were carrying the germs of the
dread fever with them. The people wad-
ed through the mud and were picked up
by the ambulanccs. Then our sick and
wounded We're hauled in the same am
balances. But worst of all, it seems to
me. is the fact that the commissary
wagons, which always were going to
Siboney and back carrying food went
out with food, returned loaded with
refugees and went back again loaded
with food. No yellow fever appeared in
the army before the lines were openpd
TO these people from Santiago, and Dr.
Quicker. of Chicago, who was with the
correspondents told us just two DAYS
before fever appeared. that il must come
in 1S hours. He also told Major Pope.

do nothing to avoid it."
