Washington. July 25.-In a dispatch to
the war department tonight General
Shafter reports that about 500 new
cases of fever developed in his corps
at Santiago yesterday. This number in
cludes, of course, all classes of fevers,
probably some cases of genuine yellow
fever. The cheering intelligence is con-
veyed that the situation is improving
and that about 450 men who have been
i'll have returned to duty.
The dispatch that was posted by the
war department follows: Santiago,

As heretofore indicated by General
Shafter and the medical officers of his
corps, the cases of fever are of a notably
mild type. The patients are i'll from
three days to a week. and then return
to duty quite as we'll as ever. The medi-
cal officers agree in the opinion that
this fever renders the men immune, for
the time at least, to yellow fever.

Times Democrat: The stu
alton at Miami has been SO
serious as to call for an insta Mt
and general protest from one end
of Louisiana to the other. 1t is
nothing less than public scandal
that camp should have been To-
Gated in a pace which the most
casual inspection on the part of the
proper authorities would have
shown to be thoroughly unsanitary.
1t is a still greater scandal that the
troops should have been kept there,
after the inspecting officers had re-
ported to the War Department that
the site was unfit -for camp.
There is no mystery about the cause
of the enormous sick list at Miami,
as chemical analysis has conclu-
5ively demonstrated that the drink
ing water there is thoroughly I'M
and absolutely sure to
produce just those kinds Of diseases
so prevalent among officers and
nen. AS the officials have shown
themselves SO callous on this point,
