FATAL GENEROSITY.
Cuban Rfugeees, Carried in Our Army
Ambulances, Took Yellow Fever
Germs to Our Soldiers,


Chicago, July 3O.-The first definite
statement was made yesterday as to
how yellow fever was brought into the
ranks of the American army in Cuba.
Mr.. II. l.. Beach, who represented the
Associated Press along the fighting
line at Santiago, and who has lust re-
turned to Chicago, made the statement
as follows:
1T Is an actual fact-something I
saw with my own eyes-that our army
ambulances were used to carry Cuban
refugees who had fed from Santiago,
and who were carrying the germs of
the dread fever with them. When Cen
eral shafter sent word to Santiago that
he intended to lombard the city the
people all began to flee, and most of
them went to FL Caney. This is a
town OF about 500 people. but 5000
refugees went thither and occupied the
houses in which there was room for
only 500 The town was overnowing,
there was no food for the Cubans, and
the army had not enough to spare. So
these people had to get out and forage
for themselves.
Santiago is known as the worst
yellow fever port in Cuba, and those
people who did not oa~ry = With them

soon had it, for their conUltion, huddled
together as they were. was terrible,
and brought on the pest almost i'm
mediately. I know 1t to be fact that
the army ambulances were used to
haul these refugees from IGl Caney, so
they might get food. The people waded
through the mud and were picked up
by the ambulances. Then our sick and
wounded were hauled in the same am
balances. But. worst of all, it seems
to me, is the fact that the commissary
wagons. which always were going to
Siboney and back carrying food. went
out with food, returned loaded with
refugees and went back again loaded
with food. No yellow fever appeared
in the army before the lines were
opened to the people"

Z FILIP|NOS APPEAL.
Natives Of the Islands Residing in Europe

Snanish Rule There

London, July 30.-Natives of the Phil

Lieutenant Palmer boarded the Amphi.

generally supposed that she was going on
blockade duty, around Havana, but she
joined number of other vessels, and being
taken IN TOW by the Iowa, proceeded to
San Juan, Porto Rico. I he fleet was
searching ng for Admiral Cervera, but not
finding him at San Juan tho place was
blockaded and considerable damage done
to the forts.
