SITUATION MORE CHEERFUL.
No Deaths In Skaters Army from Fever
on the 22d- Belief That 1t Can BE
Stamped Out

Washington, July 23.-Last night
Adjt. Gen. Corbin received dispatch
from Gen. Shafter announcing that
there had been mo deaths yesterday"
The dispatch contained only the three
words quoted, but it was freighted
with cheering intelligence to the war
officials. The outbreak of yellow
fever among the troops at San
tiago has given the administration
much concern, but the representatives
of the medical officers agree in the
statement that the disease is of a COM
paratively mild type. While there are
many cases, some of them serious, the
belief is expressed that the disease
will be curbed without serious loss to
Gen. Skaters corps. Every possible
attention is being shown those who
are i'll and extraordinary precautions
have been taken to prevent the spread
of the disease among the troops.

DEWEY's STATEMENT.
Upon Hearing OF the Destruction OF Ger
Veras Fleet He Says Spain Has Lost
Her Sea Power, Probably Forever.

Manila, July 49, Yesterday the Jap
anese warship Naniwa arrived from
Hong Kong, bringing first news of the
destruction of Cervera's fleet off San
tiago July 3. Admiral Dewey forth
with ordered the men called to quar-
ters on all the ships and the news
read. Tremendous cheering followed
which reached the Spanish ears in
Manila. To press representative Ad-
miral Dewey sent the following signed
statement:
The good news of Admiral SIMPSONS great
victory is most welcome, While such results
may cause me to look to my own laurels,
gladly express my sincere qualification at the
destruction of the Spanish fleet in Cuban
waters which, with their loss in Manila bay,
must end the Spanish sea power in this
war, II not forever. From the tele-
grams just at hand / note the re-
markable similarity OF the Spanish
fighting on Santiago to that in Manila bay In
both battles their firing was ineffective, They
fought their ships to the least advantage and
finally scuttled or burned them to cover their
defeat The small loss OF life on the American
side there is indeed extraordinary and rivals
our deathess record here. In view OF the
ships engaged, trust that the results OF these
two battles, as well as lesser incidents, may
prove to the American people the value OF
strong and well-trained navy.
