PROGRESS OF YELLOW FEVER.
The Army Is Taking Effective Steps
to Circumvsnt II.

Washington, July 14.-Reports which
have reached the war department show
there has been some mortality among
the yellow fever cases with Skaters S
army. This. however, has been so slight
it is said that up to the present time
but five cases have resulted fatally.
If any report of additional cases was
received today the officials declined to
make it public.
Meanwhile Surgeon General Stern
berg is making arrangements to sup
plement the working force of i'm
mune" physicians and nurses at San
tiago. He announced today that on
Monday vessel would leave New York
carrying an additional number of this
class of workers and a large consign-
ment of hospital supplies. AS is indi-
Gated in General Miles telegram to
Secretary Alger, the policy of isolat-
ing the sick from the we'll at Santa-
go will be put in practical operation
and the officials hope that by this
course the spread of the disease will
be retarded and kept within the lim-
it's in which it has gained a foothold.
The sick and wounded who will ar
rive at New York in a few days on
the transport Seneca will be dstribut-
ed between New York and Brooklyn
hospitals pending their recovery. One
hundred are to be sent to the Marine
hospital at New York and the re-
mainder to various places in Brook
lyn.
The ambulance ship Solace, operat-
ed by the navy, is hourly expected at
Fortress Monroe with forty-four sick
and wounded from Skaters army.

states steamship San Francisco the past
several months and an employe in Uncle
Sans naval service the past seven years,
was distinguished visitor in town to-
day." says the Mauch Chunk Times. Mr..
Lewis is "a rugged intelligent seaman, and
just the kind of a fellow one might pic
ture Uncle Sans heroes to look like. lie
Is a modest. unassuming fellow, but with
a determined look that explains why Al
miral Montojo and Admiral Cervera lost
their jobs. Jack is on 9o-day furlough,
granted him by reason of his term of en-
listmcnt having expired, and because of
Illness. He, with several members of his
ships company were taken Ill and re-
moved to the hospital at Chelsea, d
short time after their memorable run
across the Atlantic as convoy to the
New Orleans. He says he is 'homesick'
already and will not use up his furlough.
He has been assigned to duty under Cap
tain Robley d. Evans. of the good ship
Iowa, and Will report for active duty I'M
mediately after visiting relatives in Nir-
ginia."

hand for its occupants and consequent
ly the hardships encountered on the
arrival here will not have to be gone
through with again. Two artesian
wells have been sunk and another Is
under way. The flow Is abundant and
a chemical analysis proves the water
to be OF the most wholesome and
healthful character. The only objec-
tion to the place, IL indeed 1t can be
called an objection, is that 1t Is so
far removed from the camp proper. No
busses run that way, the street car
terminus is five miles away, trains on
the steam road are infrequent and the
place in general is cut off from civiliza-
ton.
The change to the new site has
caused a spirit of depression among
the men who have been counting on
getting away soon. They argue that
the war department would not go to
the expense of leasing a new camp
ground and improving 1t with artesian
wells and the like IL there was prob

action in the near future.

The Grand Consistory of Masters of the Royal Secret No. g Degree of the An cient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Free masonry in and for the State of Calffor- nis has passed out of existence. and in particular consistory known as San Fran cisco Consistory No. l.
 The old consistory was the governing body of all the organizations that are embraced within the Ancient and Accent ed Scottish Rite of Freemasonry includ- ing the particular consistory of Los An geles, the Knights Kadosh, the Knights of Rose Croix and the Lodge of Per lection, and it was the body between these organizations and the Supreme Council, but hereafter these bodies will deal directly with the Supreme Council.
 The organization of the new body was effected on last Thursday night by the selection of the following officers: c. w Conlisk, commander; John Leslie Munroe Shetterley, first lieutenant commander. Frank koenig, second lieutenant com mander; Charles Ernest Green, chancel- Tor, Tor; Ernest IA Head. minister of state; William Schuyler Moses, almoner; George John Hobe, registrar; Samuel Wolf Levy, treasurer; Simon Baum. prelate: Fred er1ck William GuStave MoebuS master of ceremonies; Henry John Grauerholz. senior expert; James H. Goldman, junior expert; Peter Christian Miller. captain of the guard; and John darcy tiler.
 The members of the consistorv that has been dissolved and were residents of the State outside of San Francisco have taken demit cards. At the next meeting or the new consistory there will be a ask that the thirty-second degree be con ferred upon them.

Klondike next spring will go via Cop per River. and the Blanchard will be ready to carry all who want to go.
 The Pacific Steam Whaling Compa- ny's Excelsior will get away for Dyea and Skaguay on Monday next. More freight is offering than the vessel can carry, and the passenger accommoda- tion from San Francisco is almost fill ed. The steamer has been built up in substantial manner, and will be one of the most comfortable boats in the trade.
 The friends of Captain Seaman, the popular master of the CZarina, will be glad to hear that he has so far recov- cred as to be able to resume command of his vessel. He nearly died from ty- phoid fever at Coos Bay, and during his illness Captain McGee ran the steamer. Captain Seaman will take the Czarina out on her next trip.
 The captain and the crew of the Brit ish ship KilmOry are contemplating a raid on Telegraph Hill. Chicken thieves from that neighborhood made a descent on the ship and stole all the feathered bipeds. The birds were great pets, and would eat from the sailors hands. Not only were they pets; they were also good layers, and Captain Ferguson now mourns the loss of a fresh egg for his breakfast every morning.

When they won their race against time the captains decided upon another race, but this time it is a test of the sailing qualities of the vessels The schooner Transit Is the favorite in the betting at Honolulu, while out at the sugar refinery at the Potrero the boys are backing the w.
