FEVER REPORTS.
Many of the Accounts of Sickness
Have Been Exaggerated.

Santiago de Cuba, July 23 via
Kingston, Jamaica, July 24.-(93O n.
m)-The report published in the Uni
ted States that there are thirty cases
of yellow fever in the cavalry division
proves, on investigation. to be un-
founded. Captain House requests that
the report be definitely denied.
The First, Third, Sixth and Ninth
volunteers, the First and Tenth resi-
ment cavalry, and six companies of
Randolph light artillery, is encamped
about two miles northwest of FL Canev.
at the base of the mountains. The
camp is apparently perfectly healthy
as to location and has a good water
supply. The ground is well drained
Malarial fever is prevalent but il al
ways yields to quinine treatment in
the course of four or five days. The
fact that the immunes in the regiment
have had this fever as freely as the
other men shows that the illness is
not yellow jack.
There have been no fatalities from
fever thus far. but so long as the men
are exposed TO the hot sun during the
day, the increasing rains and the
heavy night dews, malaria will in
crease and our men grow worse. A
second attack is much more difficult
to eradicate. especially in the case of
men exposed to the present conditions.
The cavalry are most anxious to pro-
ceed to Porto Rico but will be obliged
to remain here until the Spanish pris-
oners of war have been transported to
Spain, which. it is believed, will be
accomplished before the next month is
well advanced. The army is mentally
depressed by inactivity and the uncer-
tainty as to its future movements, to-
gether with the incoming malarial
fever.

THE government is closely watching

Carlist clubs have been requested 10

ALIEN LABOR OPINION.
Is Unconstitutional to Prevent the
Employment of Non-citizens.

The law taxing alien labor has been
declared unconstitutional in an opinion
by Chief Justice Sterrett, of the Su-

much the same as that contained in a
similar and former opinion by Judge
Acheson, of the United State Circuit
court.
The two opinions nullify a resolution
passed by Scrantons councils in 1895
regarding the employment of aliens in

TIE SPANISH PEOPLE.

1t is a favorite Spanish pastime to
by the nations of the earth. and TO
claim that our people are far from ma
tional in character or even language,
while over here, we are prone 20 char
acterize the Spanish as a Latin race,
and to have the idea they are homo
genous people as regards nationality.
Both conceptions are wrong. The Span
ish peninsula contains population
composed of more nationalities. per-
haps. than are at present noticeably
represented in America, and that they
are united events both near and re-
Spanish people are Latin race only
insofar as the Romans impressed their
language upon a conquered province.
Before the Roman occupation there was
a very numerous savage population IN
the territory now constituting Spain,
and this population was never eXter-
minated or driven out. Then came
Phoenicians. Greeks, Carthaginians, Ro-
mans, various German tribes, Arabs,
Africans, and a hodge-podge of adven-
turers. settlers and soldiers from almost
every corner of the known world, and
these, settling in different quarters, set
up petty governments and kingdoms,
which warred with each other, after
the decline of the Roman power, down
to the time of the expulsion Of the
Moors. in 1892, and even after that the
country was far from united, a portion
even belonging to the English crown,
while France also had a share of the
territory at more than one time. A
population having a more cosmopolitan
origin than Spain would be difficult to
find. while one more united than Amer
lea does not exist.

In discussing that period in the ad
dress of the Queen Regent OF Spain
where she expressed the hope the Span
ish nation would defend the throne of
her son the New York World says
THE oueen Regent, in her speech to the
t.ortns made an appeal which has a
stranre sound to a people who fight for
q country not a person. With us, the
honor of the country, the sacredness Of
the flag: with her. the call to arms is in
trusting to the Spanish peoples TO gather

Readers of the bulletins and early
daily dispatches should bear in mind
that in time of war inaccuracies are
very apt to be flashed over the wires
There are several reasons, and one Of
the most important is that the govern

remain secret lest the enemy be ben
Gifted by premature publication, and
false news may even be semi-officially
disseminated for military purposes.
Department officials will be more reti-
cent as operations progress, army and
navy officers will refuse TO talk.
and as for the feet little that is reli-
able as to operations can be hoped for
after they leave American for foreign

END THE WAR QUICKLY.

The government at Washington is
now acting with becoming energy, and
if that policy is maintained aud added
to the people will be well pleased. The
conflict with Spain should be vigorous
ly prosecuted from the first, and the
enemy should be given no time to draw
breath or to add to present resources.
Cuba is already blockaded: the army
should follow. the navy with ali posi-
bic speed. and should make quick
and hot campaign, while such prompt
and proper attention should be given
the Spanish fleet as opportunity we'll
improved may offer. Public opinion
will endorse such a policy. ana Will
accord the government all support
needed and in every way: any other
method of operation against Spain Will
not be satisfactory
