The HenItb of the ARMY,

The American army has not been in
Cuba long enough to suffer the worst
effects of an unldnd climate, but so far,
the number reported as sick and unfit
for present duty does not warrant the
fears expressed by sensational CORE
spondents. Among the two thousand
men under medical care are many who
are the victims of a fever that runs it's
course in few days and is rarely fatal
if promptly and properly treated. There
have been no mortality records except
in the case of those dying from wounds,
but it does not appear that the illne ss
III most cases is of grave or alarming
nature.
Even if yellow fever should appear in
Cuba, there is no reason to expect an
experience as serious as that of the
army that invaded the Cr.mea or that
of the German army in France. When
the allied troops in the Crimea reached
the total of four hundred and twenty
eight thousand men, there were no less
than three hundred and sixty-two
thousand on the sick list, sixty nine
thousand two hundred cases ending in
death. OF the two hundred thousand
German soldiers surrounding Me'z. on
hundred and thirty thousand were in
hospital. OF two hundred and ninety
five thousand men treated in the differ
ent army hospitals of Germany, only
eighty-eight thousand suffered from
wounds received in battle.
Since 1S7n-IS71 sanitary science has
made wonderful progress. The applica-
tion of its rules TO camps is quite as
important and effective as to cities. An
eminent medical man, now with the
troops at Santiago, asserts that it Is
possible to virtually exclude from the
military lines not only the disorders
that formerly ravaged armies, but also
yellow fever. 1t is of consequence that
in enlisting volunteers for the United
States, the physical examinations have
been more exacting than is common in
times of war.

Spain's Bankruptcy.

An official estimate places Spain's di-
rect expenditure for war purposes at
$2S 600, 900 a month She has virtually
borrowed Sl15. 0G0 since April, for
which she pledges herself to pay $24O-
100000 and interest, giving a mortgage
on her revenues To secure a part of it.
This sum is made up of loan from the
Bank of Spain of $40 600, 600, for which
the government revenues are pledged,
and another of So, 900, 900 on a nominal
s200, 100000 Of government four per cent
bonds, that are valued in London at
about s66 .O0o, 600
Through these desperate means Spain
has secured money enough TO cover her
necessary expenses until September.
But one of the conditions is permission
TO the Bank of Spain to increase the
volume Of its deprecated notes almost
indefinitely. There is not a financier
in Europe who does not look for the
early collapse of the bank and a dec
laration of the utter worthlessness of its
issues. The failure of the Bank of
Spain means the absolute ruin of the
national treasury and financial panic
throughout the realm. The extent of
the disaster must depend upon how
long the stupid obstinacy of the minis
try prolongs the war. Instant peace
would leave the nation in a sad condi-
ton. but every day must add enormous
ly to the burden the people must even
tually assume.

Remarkable IL True.

Ambassadors have visited the White
House in times past without unduly ex-
citing the newspaper pulse, but it seems
in these days that such a thing would
be impossible. especially if the visitor
happened to represent a government
suspected Of anxiety to act as mediator
in the war with Spain, and secure easy
terms for that offender.
On this account, a call which NJ. Cam
bon. the French representative, made
upon the President the other day, has
inverted a regular cornucopia full of
surmise, conjecture, and downright al
legation, all based upon what might
have been said at the interview. The
State Department, that courtly and
mysterious institution whose ways are
past finding out, naturally denies that
the incident had any connection with
what has been cleverly called the
Yanko-Spanko war. If we mistake not,
Judge Day understands that the con-
versation between Mr.. Mckinley and
the diplomat was confined to the prob
able price of coat and umbrella checks
at the Paris Exposition. Evidently he
cannot be in the full executive conf
dence, since journalistic enterprise has
given to the world, word for word, what
the President said to NJ Cambon. what
the latter said to the former. and what
the former replied to the latter, when
he observed what he did. From this
authOTity-which we are bound to be-
lieve for professional reasons-the am
bassador wanted to know if America
could be induced to return the Philip
pines and Ladrones to Spain, condi-
toned upon Cuban inderendence. with
the assumption of part of the Spanish
debt. temporary occupation of Porto
Rico by the United States, and a war
indemnity to be paid by Spain, in an
amount to be decreed by an interna-
tional tribunal of arbitration.
To this attractive suggestion the
American Chief Magistrate is repre-
sented to have. replied that Cuban in
dependence, free and absolute. the
cession of Porto Rico, the Indefinite oc-
cupation of The Philippines and La
drones. and the payment of a war in

the United States. would come nearer
filling the bill.

ExPELLEp FROM cANApA.
Carranzn and Du Bose Must Aban-

Montreal. July 12.-Senor Du Bose, late
secretary of the Spanish legas lion, and
Lieut.. Carranza, military attache, leave
Montreal tonight by the Dominion steam
er Ottoman at the urgent and repeated
request of the Dominion government
The request was conveyed to the Span
iards by their lawyer, Mr.. st. Pierre. who
was informed by the government that.
owing to the United States objecting to
their presence in this country. they wish
ed them to leave and with as little fuss
as possible.
Mr. St Pierre communicated this to
his clients, and on June % he received
letter from Senor Du Bose, in which he
protested against the order and proceed
ed to point out what he considers his un-
deniable rights in the matter.
After the capias case had been decided
on June go Sir Wilfred Laurier, the pre-
mier telegraphed urging that the Span
iards take their departure on July 3 On
the same day he wrote Mr.. St. Pierre an
official letter, notifying him of the viola
tion of the neutrality laws by his clients
This had reference to the letter which
was stolen from Lieut.. Carranza, in which
he stated that he had been left in Canada
TO look after the spy service.
The premier concludes his letter:
Il have therefore TO request Senor Car
rama TO leave this country. 1 have to
make the same request of Senor Du

This letter was communicated TO Du

to Mr.. ST. Pierre stating in the first sem
tence they would take the first steam
er Of the Dominion line. He emphaticaliy
protested against the expulsion, and clos
ed with the threat that the government
would hear from him al future day
This letter was delayed in reaching OF
tawa, and the government became un-
easy. making many inquiries as 10 why
CarranZa and Du Bose had not departed
The explanation is that they could not
obtain a berth on the steamer which sail
ed on the eth. and they have finally ac-
cepted passage on the freighter Otto
man.
Du Bose and Carranza are boiling over
with indignation.
Senor Du Bose tried TO delay the de-
parture of the party. but the government
was firm and as no passengers were leav-
ing they were obliged TO take passage
on a freight steamer. The party viii
proceed 70 London to await orders from
Madrid.
Senior Du Bose expects to be employed
in connection with the peace negotia-
tons.
Before his departure tonight he ex-
pressed himself as disgusted with the way
he had been treated in Canada and said
that after the war was over he would
have his recourse for the arbitrary action
of the Canadian government.
