Less Dangerous Than Feared

WAsluNGroN, July 1S.-The matter
which has most troubled the official
heads here for the past Two days has
been the situation at Santiago in regard
to the yellow fever.
Col. Grecnleaf Chief surgeon OF the
army in Cuba cabed yesterday that IL
new cases had broken out.
Thi, news was considered by med.-
cal men to be nothing more than eX-
ncc,cd snd was considered to be salts
factory.
OF course when matters have been
more delintly settled those who are
suffering from the dread disease can be
removed to the more ehilly country where
tbc conditions are mnch more conducive
to rood health than is the dirty ant
filthy surroundings of Santiago.
Official advices received today from
Santiago place the entire number o
fever cases at 800 or less.
This makes the situation less serious
than was feared.

Washington, July 1S.-After consulta-
ton with General Brooke and the naval
war board the president directed that
an army Of $4,000 troops should be READY
to move within a week on Porto Rico.
Within that time the fleet under Ao,
miral Sampson will be prepared to lana

The expedition is to be organized al

thought best to reserve the use OF all
Its transports. No particular day mas
been set for the rendezvous of the Varl-
GUS transport squadrOnS which are TO
convey the Porto Rico troops, but all
are to be ready to sail by next Satur-
day. Orders We're sent to Tampa, 10

the troops in readiness to move to meet
