Tie Secretary of War Selects a Site for a
Camp on Long Island to be Occupied by
the Men Who Captured Santiago.
Washington, July 2o.-The war de-
partment last night posted the follow
ing from Gen. Shafter: Condition
for the 27th-Total sick 4,122, total
fever 3,193, new cases fever S22, cases
fever returned to duty 542. Deaths:
Private j. II. Farrell, Company H,
Ninth Massachusetts volunteers at ST.
honey, yellow fever; Corporal Thomas
Robson, Company ID, Twenty-fourth
infantry, Siboney, yellow fever; Pri-
vate VIM. H. Byers, Company d,
Seventh infantry, cerebral apoplexy."
Secretary Alger is deeply concerned
over the welfare of the troops under
Skaters command, now encamped on
the outskirts of Santiago. The health
report shows surprisingly large
number of cases of sickness, but army
surgeons say that these figures are
misleading in a certain sense, and that
the situation may not be nearly so bad
as they would seem to indicate. The
slightest ailment of the most tempo
rary nature suffces to place a soldiers
name on the sick reports, which in
their present shape would not distin-
guiSh between such case and one OF
mortal illness. The inference is that
many of these cases in Shafter's camp
are of trivial nature, but go to swell
its grand total of sick and wounded.
Notwithstanding this mitigating fact,
Secretary Alger is going to remove the
soldiers at the very earliest oppor-
tunity to more healthful cline.
The surgeon general, under the di-
rection of the secretary, a few days
ago inspected a tract of land adjoin-
| ing Montauk Point, l.. l., belonging to
| the Long Island Railroad Co., which
had been offerel to the government as
suitable for large encampment. The
tract is three miles square, contains
an abundance of fresh water, con-
siderable lake, hill $50 feet in height
and many other sanitary advantages,
| including salt water bathing. Orders
to equip this as a camping ground will
go forward Immediately and every
advantage will be taken Of the eX-
perience gained in the formation of
the great camps at Chickamauga and
| Camp Alger to make the conditions as
comfortable as possible for the battle
Scared veterans of Skaters army.
The time for their removal is left
to Gen. Shafter, the only limitation
placed upon him being that he shall
not delay the homeward sailing of his
troops beyond the moment when it
shall be safe for them to leave San
tiago, having regard to the fever con-
ditions. Meanwhile details are being
made of troops to supply the force
that shall garrison Santiago so long
as it shall be found necessary to con-
tinue troops there. This force will
be made up almost altogether of i'm
munes.
New Orleans, July 29.-The steamer
Berlin, having on board the immune
regiment under command of Col.
Hood, sailed Thursday afternoon. Her
| destination is Santiago.

Chicago Gas Companies are Accused of
Using $23O,O0O to Grease Legislative

Using S23O,OoO to Grease Legislative
Wheels.
Chicago, July 29.-The attempt to
cause the dissolution of the Consoli-
dated gas companies of Chicago yes
terday resulted in a complete rout
for the eastern bondholders of the
Equitable Gaslight and Fuel Co. The
bill filed by the bondholders asked the
circuit court to appoint a receiver for
the corporation and to cut the ties
which bind the seven companies form
ing the consolidation. Judge Gibbons
decided that the complainants have no
standing in court, refusing the mo-
ton to appoint a receiver, and dismiss
Ing the bill.
Soon after Judge Gibbons had rem
dered his decision the attorneys repre-
senting the bondholders filed an
amendment to the bill of complaint in
which are made charges of corruption
in the Illinois legislature which passed
the consolidation act. Four of the
companies in the trust, the Peoples,
the Equitable, the Chicago and the
Consumers, are accused of appropriate
ing and using $230,000 toward secur-
ing the passage of the bill. The
amendment asks that the officers of
these corporations be required to ac-
count for the money thus spent. No
attempt will be made to interfere with
the entry of Judge Gibbons decree,
the amendment being filed solely for
an appeal to the higher courts.

BISMARCK DIES,
The Iron Chancellor" Yields to 6
Lingering Illness.
Sketch of the Statesman and Diplomat
Who Founded an Empire, Unified Ger
many and Made for Himself an
Imperishable Name In the
History of Europe.

Berlin, Aug. 1.-Prince Bismarck
died shortly before II o'clock Satur-
day night. The beginning of the end
dates from July 20, when the prince
was confined to his bed. He had been
several days Frustrated before an
inkling of his decline reached the
world. On Friday DR.. Schweninger
declared that the whole gigantic
frame of his patient was sound. AL
though Bismarck was extremely low
on Wednesday, he so rallied on Thurs
day that he was wheeled to the din
ner table to celebrate with his as
sembled family the 51st anniversary Of
his wedding. He never believed him
self in danger until the last day. On
Monday he ordered some new pipes
and smoked one on Thursday and con-
versed brilliantly on the topics of the
day. He was unconscious for several
hours before the end came, but he died
in great agony.
In accordance with Prince Bis
marck's wish, he will be buried upon
the hill opposite the castle, in the
vicinity of Hirschgruppe.

Faces a Dangerous situation.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Gen. Merritt
has again cabled the war department
relative to the situation in Manila,
which he finds very dangerous, owing
to the attitude of the insurgents. In
the opinion of Gen. Merritt the atti-
tude of the insurgents there is similar
to that assumed by Garcias Cubans
upon the question of their right to
enter and possess themselves of the
city, although in this case the insur-
gents are very much more formid-
able element. Gen. Merritt indicates
that he will do his utmost to protect
the citizens from the insurgents

NEWS OF THE WEEK.
Gathered from All Quarters
WASHINGTON.

An official statement has been re-
ceived at the treasury department
showing that under the present tariff
law the amount of duty collected dur
ing the last fiscal year on the per-
sonal effects of steamship passengers
arriving in this country was about 400
per cent. in excess of the amount re-
ceived during the previous fiscal year.
The official report of American iron
production for the first half of 1898
shows an increase of over 100000 tons
as compared with any previous half
year and, what is far more important,
the consumption in manufactures ap-
pears to have exceeded the output.
1t has been determined to send a
commission to visit the hospitals of
the various army camps, with a view
of ameliorating the condition of the
sick. A surgeon of the army and Mai.
Hopkins, OF the adjutant generals
Office, will compose this commission,
with perhaps some other officer of the
army.
The secretary of the navy has com
menced to retire from active service
such vessels of the auxiliary navy as
can be spared, in order to save ex-
penses. A beginning was made on the
Both ult., when the Inquirer was or
dered out of commission.
The president and Secretary Alger
have not overlooked the sacrifices
made by the officers of Shafter's army
and have determined to do what they
can to provide for their families. A
few vacancies among the second lieu
tenancies in the regular army still ex-
list and these will be filled by appoint
ing the sons of some of the officers
who lost their lives at Santiago.
Six colored non-commissoned Off
GERS who rendered particularly gal
liant services in the face Of the enemy
in the actions around Santiago, have
been appointed to second lieutenan-
cies in the two colored immune regi-
ments recently organized.
Orders have been sent by the war
department to Gen. Brooke, directing
him to send back the transports which
conveyed the troops of the Porto
Rican expedition, as soon as possible.
The transports will be returned to
,Sew York and will be utilized at once

WORK AHEAD FOR BOTH.
House of Representatives as Well as the
Senate to be Called in Ezra Session If
Peace Is Declared.

hOube VI db wen as UnG
Senate to be Called in Ezra Session If
Peace Is Declared.
Washington, Aug. 2.-The Post
says President Mckinley will call an
extra session of both houses of con.
gress as soon as Spain accepts the
terms of peace offered by the United
States. 1t has always been under
stood that the senate would be con-
vened as soon as the treaty of peace
was ready to be acted upon by that
body. The attention of the president
has been called, however, to situa-
ton which makes the assembling of
the entire congress necessary.
Under the law which provides for
the raising of the volunteer army, that
army goes out of existence as soon as
the war ceases. The developments of
the war make it very evident that in
stead of sending the army back to
civil life, fully 100000 men will con-
tinue to be needed. 1t is the present
intention to distribute no less than
$4,000 soldiers throughout Cuba, with
10000 in the Philippines and probably
10000 in Porto Rlco.
Under the law as soon as hostilities
cease the volunteer army is disband-
ed and the regular army goes back
to its peace footing, thus leaving only
$4,000 men in the service. This is a
total far too small for the work that
will be required. Consequently the
aid of congress will be needed to
frame new laws which will keep an
adequate army for garrison purposes.
In addition to this laws must be
passed to meet the new requirements
of government in the Philippines and
Porto Rico

Nuevitas Bombarded and Rurnod.

Key West, Aug. 1.-Reports have
reached here that Nuevitas, on the
north coast of the province of Puerto
Principe, Cuba, has been bombarded
by the ships of the blockading squad
ron, evacuated by the Spanish and

known. The only American ships
known to have been in the vicinity
of Nuevitas lately are the Prairie
and Badger. The latter captured three
Spanish vessels coming out of Nuevitas
harbor and took them to the Dry
Tortugas. All were flying Red Cross
flags, but when boarded were found
to contain Spanish soldiers.

London, July 30.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Times says: that ac-
cording to a newspaper statement
Senior Gamazo, Spanish minister of
public instruction, said in an inter
view at Madrid yesterday: Spain
has not asked an armistice or even a
suspension of hostilities. That would
be tantamount to beseeching the enc
my not to strike us. We shall never
come to that. The message to the
United States, while recognizing the
superiority of the Yankee forces and
their military operations, is confined
to terms so dignified that when the
document is published no one will be
able to say it is humiliating. 1t asks
whether the United States is disposed
to make peace, but requests neither
truces nor armistices."
The Times correspondent says
Gamazo added: "If Manila surrenders
the capitulation will only apply to the
walled town." 1t is feared that the
peace negotiations will not be very
smooth or expeditions.

Express Company Must Amx the Stamp.

Chicago, July 29.-Judge Tuley, of
the circuit court, yesterday ruled in
favor of the shippers in the test case
brought by the Illinois Manufactur-
ers' association, granting a writ Of
mandamus compelling the United
States Express Co. to accept for trans
portation packages for shipment with
out the payment of one cent in eX-
cess of the regular rate. The case will
be appealed by the defendants. The
court held that it was not within the
domain of the shipper to issue the bill
and that the law expressly provides
that the person issuing the receipt
shall affix the stamp.
