But tbe United States Will Not Open Negotiations Until SpoiD ADDounces Directly Her Willingness

ton special to the Herald says: That it is the confident expectation of the Navy Department that the war with Spain will close within the next few months is shown by the action of the Board of Construction in recommend ing against the purchase of four ships for conversion into auxiliary cruisers which are under construction at the Cramps ship yards.
 A special board convened in Philadel- phia to inspect the ships informed the department that they were in such a state of completion that it will be a comparatively easy matter to make al terations which would result in their transformation into third-rate cruisers. The board fixed six months as the time necessary to put them into condition for effective service.
 It has been the belief of the depart ment that the ships could be got ready for sea within two months and half. In view of the length of time necessary to complete the ships and the probabil- ity of peace within that period the Board of Construction determined to recommend to the department that the vessels be not purchased. Secretary Long will probably approve the rec ommendation.

FEAR AN EPIDEMIC
 OF YELLOW FEVER
Precautions Taken by the Medical Department to Guard the Men
 at Santiago.

NEW YORK, July 12-A Washington special to the Herald says:
 At this time of the year the city of Santiago de Cuba is a regular hotbed Tor yellow fever" Surgeon General Wyman of the Marine Hospital Serv ice said to me to-day
 Although according to the latest re- ports which have been received by the medical department from Santiago there Is not case of yellow fever among the American troops. every nre- caution is being taken by Surgeon Gen. eral Sternberg to prepare for an out break of the disease among the troops Major George W. Dare of the medical department has been detailed to go to New Orleans and enlist sixty immune yellow fever nurses. These men are to be sent to Santiago and will be on hand in case of an outbreak of fever among the troops.
 The Government authorities have re- ceived positive information that there are now several cases of yellow fever in the city of Santiago. It is greatly feared that after the American troops have possession of the city the disease will break out among them. and the authorities want to be in readiness to successfully meet and keep the dis ease from spreading.

MINES TO BE REMOVED
 FROM OUR HARB0RS
Cabinet Yields to Deluge of Pro- tests From Commercial Centers
 of the Country.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-The Secre- tary of War has ordered the removal of all the submarine mines which protect the harbors of the United States against the entry of hostile ships. This action was decided upon at to-day's Cabinet meeting For weeks past, in fact, al- most since the beginning of hoStilities, the War Department has been deluged with protests from the commercial cen ters of the country against the continu- ance of these mines, which operated to the great detriment of commerce. In certain cases influences were brought to hear that secured an abatement of the rules but this only increased the dis satisfaction in the localities where they were rigidly enforced. Practically it has been impossible for shinping to enter or leave any of the harbors of the United States during the last two months be- tween the hours of sunset and sunrise. The decision of the Cabinet to remove these mines is one of the most signal manifestations of the supreme confi- dence of the Government in the future, and of the exemption of United States ports from an attack at the hands of any hostile power
 The order of removal, 1t Is said, Is to apply to localities where the inter- est of commerce demands the same Tn cases where it is safe an effort will be made to remove the mines instead of exploding them. Wherever there is any doubt they will be exploded. The ac- tion of the sea in some instances causes the dynamite in the ellipsoidal vessels to ooze out through the screw threads where the plug is inserted and unless the best care is taken the removal of the plug may cause an explosion.
 It will be some days before the actual operation of removing or exploding the

 MADRID, July 12.-Among the most difficult problems facing the present Government which individually and collectively desires peace, is a dispatch from Captain General Blanco who af- firms that the spirit of the people of Cuba renders the proposition of a ces- sation of hostilities impossible.
 The Government, if 1t can be so called, when all members have their resignations in abeyance, is in a quan- dary as to the peace proposition.
 "The public has declared it would mean Carlst rising. A prolongation of the war means the bombardment of Cadiz." Such are the words to-day of a responsible statesman. One of the leading gentlemen to-day said in speaking of the Carlist question, which is a serious one of moment: "A Carlist

Notwithstanding this the American batteries did not open fire this morning, and the renewal of the bombardment will probably be postponed until to- morrow (Wednesday), when it is hoped that all of General Randolph's batteries will be in position. The siege guns landed yesterday will also be brought up as soon as possible
 Torrents of rain fell last night, drowning out the boys in the trenches and making the road almost impassa- ble. This may delay the batteries and siege guns. The volunteers who are being hurried on to the front are being located along the right center in the positions which have been occupied by General Lawton's division while the latter has moved forward down to the right, until he controls the road to Gaines, along which Toral would have to retreat should he now be foolhardy enough to make the attempt.
 The Cubans under General Calixto Garcia took Gaines without opposition on Monday night. and have entrench- nents on either side of the road The Americans are now in position to strike the enemy in the left flank and follow it up, making the Spanish entrench- ments north of the city untenable.
 General Toral, realizing the weakness of this flank, has been busy during the existence of the truce in doubling back with entrenchments and fixing his guns in the direction from which he is threatened. Most of General Randolphs S guns will be located upon the heights in the center of General Lawton's new position, where they command the town. Yesterday afternoon the Ca pron and Haines batteries on the right succeeded in tearing up the emplace- ments for palm battery, as it is called, and in plumping shells into sev- eral blockhouses on salients, but the shots directed at the Spaniards in the trenches did not appear to have much effect. Shrapnel were rapidly broken directly over the trenches. yet in five minutes the trenches at every point of explosion would be alive with the enemy. They would watch for the flashes of our guns and drop before the shells ex- ploded.
 Our mortar fire was directed at the Spanish bull ring, and tore up almost everything in the vicinity. It is un- derstood the bull ring is being used as a barracks.
 Three large steamers lie in the har- bor alongside the Philadelphia Iron Company's wharf and a small Spanish ic at of ha bay. All these could be plainly seen by the Associated Press correspondent.

RAIN lNTERFERES
 WITH OPERATIONS

NEW YORK, July 12.-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: Rain seriously interfered with the operations of the American army before Santiago to-day, and dispatches which had been received up to a late hour tonight in- dicate that while the position of the troops has been somewhat strength ened, nothing more has been accom- plished. One dispatch had been re- ceived from Major General Miles and two from Major General Shafter. Gen. eral Miles, in his dispatch, which was received this morning, spoke of the difficulty of transporting artillery and supplies to the front, and urged the necessity of having more draught ami maIs. He also asked for pile drivers and appliances for building wharves, and as indicating the reason for the condition of the roads, he said the heaviest rain he had ever known was falling.
 This is General Shafter's first dis patch:

 General Shafter's second dispatch was received late this evening.

He said that the bombardment of the fleet had been effective As he spoke of no other bombardment 1t is believed that the land forces did not fire on the city to-day From his state tion it is believed that he has probably

MINISTERIAL CRISIS

LONDON, July 13.-The Madrid cor respondent of the Times says: The crisis hangs fire. The Ministers still meet in council and the difficulties of retirement seem even greater than the difficulties of remaining in office. The Conservatives are not prepared to ac- cept office and it is hard to imagine a Liberal Cabinet without an undisputed Liberal leader. The logical conclusion is that Senor Sagasta must accept the responsibility of deciding whether or not to open peace negotiations.
