SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Sept II, s:15
p. m.-sunday was observed to-day for
the first time since the war terminated,
as a day Of rest and worship. Ali the
military and civil officers were closed,
as were also the shops, and the cIty's
appearance was unusually quiet. Re-
llglous services were held at the palace.
and General Lawton, General Wood and
other American officers attended.
This afternoon the correspondent Of
the Associated Press visited the wrecks
of the Spanish cruisers. The work OF
floating the Intanta Maria Teresa Is
nearly complete, but the Almlrante
Ouuendo Is not worth the cost OF saw
ing.
Guantanamo yesterday, reports the em-
barkation OF all the Spanlards save
about eighty under General Pareja.
The American authorities are awaiting
the arrival OF the San Juan, with about
1000 Spanish troops from SaGua de Tan

Tomorrow the Bessie and two other
vessels will leave for Barcoa and Sagua

Americans, Cubans and SpanIards there.
The condition of the Spaniards at Guam

Spain was, Colonel Ray says, most dis

eighty per day, and Colonel Ray be-
lleves that more than half will die on
the passage. Seventy died on the wharf

and there Is yellow fever among those
who remain behind. Colonel Ray had
two mules killed for fresh meat supplies
to the Spanlards. No fresh beef was to
be had and the spanlards were glad to
get the mule meat. Indeed there had
been no meat Of any kind In Guantan-
amo for three weeks.
The first battalion Of Colonel Rays
regiment has contracted yellow fever
from spanIard. Sixty cases have
broken out.
-Four hundred Cubans have laid down
their arms at Guantanamo and gone to
work on the plantations near the town.
No ratIons are supplied to armed Gu

FUNERAL PLANS.

Body will be Brought to Vienna Thurs
day aud Lie IN stato-ThO PItSouS Grief
ofthe Emperor.
VIENNA, Sept. 1.-THE plans for the
funeral of the late Empress Elizabeth
who was assasslnated by an anarchist
yesterday at Geneva contemplate bring
ing the remains to Vienna next Thurs
day, lying in state on Friday and the
obsequIes of interment on Saturday.
Every fag in the city IS at half mast
to-day and the theatres, races and 9TH
er amusements are suspended indefi-
nitely.
All the archdukes and the Archduch-
ess Marie Valerie have arrived at
schoenbrunn. Il was reported last
evening that Emperor Francis Joseph
had gone to Geneva by special train,
but this was an error. At noon to-day
he had not yet left Schoenbrunn. Crown
Princess StephanIe, who has been stay
ing at Darmstadt, has been summoned.
The emperor's fortItude is the topic OF
universal admiration. He Is bearing up
manfuly despite the terrible shock,
which, in view OF his age, had inspired
the gravest apprehension. Although at
first stunned and then slightly hyster-
ical, he soon regained his self-control
and displayed remarkable cnlmness.
Occasionally, however. completely over
powered by his grief, he moaned pit
eously repeatedly sobbing the name Of
the empress
Addressing Prince Won Llchtensteln,
chief marshal OF the imperial household,
he exclaimed last evening:
at IS inconcelvable how a man could
lift his hand against one who never in
her IKe injured anybody. one who did
nothing but good"
Then he moaned: Nothing is spared
to me in this world"
He managed to sleep several hours
last night and said this morning he felt
comparatively well, discouraRlng the
attempts of his attendants to display
soIIcitude for his health.
The shock OF the news craZed one Of
the court servants who rushed from the
palace to BurVplatZ, shrieking: Where
Is the murderer OF our empress?"
Dispatches OF coincidence are arriving
al the palace from all parts Of the
world, testlfying to profound horror and
sympathy. Among them are messages
from President Mckinley, from Emper-
or William and from nearly all the En-
rOpeqn soveceigns.

DETROIT, Mich, Sept 11.-secretary
Alger this afternoon expressed himself
as we'll pleased at the Presidents Sc
lections of members of a committee to
investigate the conduct of the commits
sary, quarternaster and medical de-
partments of the war department dur
Ing the war.
on the subject OF sickness among the
soldiers, General AlEer said: THE whole
trouble has been in the volunteer troops
not knowing how to care for themselves
and carelessness in wardlng on dis
ease. The regular army men have not
been troubled as the volunteers have.
They have had yellow fever, and fevers
from exposure In the trenches before
Santiago, but their general health has
been good and the proportion of sick
and the deaths from sickness very small.
"The most stringent orders have been
issued in regard to keeping the camps
clean. After my tour OF inspection l
Will go over the whole situation careful
ly, and It Is possible that a new set OF
regulations that Will be better may be
issued.
"The day before I left Washington"
said General Alger, II called Surgeon
General Sternberg into my Office and
told him / wanted him to build winter
hospitals for G.OOO men. We will have
enough hospitals II we have to raise the
5000 10 10000. They Will be located at
points where they can be reached by
transport, although Just where is not
yet determined. one OF the hospitals,
however. will be at Havana. It will be
built Just rs soon as our troops are sent

was marked by an incident that created
much comment. The empress, on leav-
inE the castle, went straight to the re-
freBhment buffet a. the railroad station
and ate q hearty meal, proceeding
which was taken to reflect on the regal
hospitality she had Just enjoyed
The empress was always accompanied
while hunting by Count F'estelics and
Captain Bay Middleton. the famous
English hOrBemaD, who was killed in the
saddle few years ago. She rode TO the
hounds fearlessly and had many Spias,
but never suffered seriously.
Since the shocking tragedy OF Crown
Prince RudOlph's death she had never
appeared In public in Vienna and she
never completely recovered from the ef-
fects OF the blow. She was consumed
with anguish at the thought that Ru-
dOiph's wildness was inherited through
her, and remorseful that she had not
kept him more under control In his
earlier years instead OF encouraging him
in boyish escapades. Then the death Of
her sister the Duchesse d'Aiencon, IN
the Charity Bazaar IRE IN Paris, was
another reeling blow from which the un-
fortunate empress sought rehef by al
most incessaut travel.
Before her sons death she had Just

Her tragic death wifi put an end TO
the contemplated Jubilee celebration IN
November Of Emperor Francis JOseph's
accession, for which elaborate arrange
nepts have been made, when the em-
press promised to break through her
rule of seclusion and participate In a
grand state pageant,
The personal relations between her
and the emperor have long been the
subject OF unpleasant rlimors. though
the Incidents on which these rumors are
founded were as likely to arise from her
growing eccentricitles as from the
causes OF quarrel, Of which the empe-
ror's conduct is reported to have given
