DR.. GUlTERAS
Will Make a Report on Sanitary Con.
ditions---M Malaria and Typhoid Are
Bad at Present.

Philadelphia, Pa, August 5-Dr.
John Guiteras, the famous yellow fe-
yer expert, and one of the leading
Cuban advisers in the country, arrived
at his home in this city from Santi-
ago de Cuba, where he had been en-
gagged in yellow fever work under the
direction of the government.
DR.. Guiteras was decidedly averse
to discussing the conditions existing
in and around Santiago. He also de-
clined to make any comments upon
the efficiency OF alleged lack of eff
cheney of the medical hospital corps.
Concernig the yellow fever which
has attacked the troops, DR.. Guiteras
said:
The yellow fever cases thus far
have been of a light order, and the
mortality among the troops has not
been heavy. The most serious
source of trouble at present is from
typhoid fever and malaria. Most of
the men Ill IN the hospitals are SUI
fering from one or the other of these
diseases.
AS the season drags on, however,
the yellow fever will become more
serious, and then it will be worse
than the typhoid
Continuing, DR.. Guiteras said: For
reasons apparent to all, l cannot dis
cuss the affairs of the army in pub
lie. l shall make an official report of
my observations direct to Surgeon
General Sternberg. Most Of the troops
now in Santiago. l suppose, will be
brought to the islands to recuperate.

So tar as forts are concerned, they
amount to little or nothing beyond
some field pieces temporarily placed
in position and belonging to the army.
But it is said there are about twenty

the Spanish troops to leave Manzanillo,

AIDED by landing party.
The general feeling of the Spanish
forces at Manzanillo and in its vicinity is
best shown by the fact that the insurgent
leader, Gen. Rios, is encamped within a
few miles of the place with $50 cavalry,
and he occasionally makes raids on the

Washington, August 5.-When the
President closed his official work to-
day he had not received the reply of
Spain nor any intimation as to how
soon the reply might be expected The
French ambassador had not been heard
from throughout the day and he, as
we'll as our government officials, was
waiting for Spain to give the final re-
Spouse.
From this 1t is clear that the Spanish
cabinet fully realizes the time for ar
gument, counter-proposals or modif-
cation has gone by, and that there is
only one simple issue to be met, name
ly, whether the American terms will
be accepted as a whole or rejected.
There is indeed reason to believe that
the Spanish government has been d.
rectly advised that the stage of nego-
tiations is past and that only the mat
ter of an answer, favorable or unfavor-
able. remains
At the same time It was suggested
to-day in some quarters that there was
a possibility the disclosures made by
the American general at Santiago con-
corning the serious condition. of our
troops might be a straw at which the
Spanish cabinet would grasp This is
quite doubtful, however. Moreover. all
the evidence reaching the officials here
indicates that Spain is weary with the
conflict and is convinced beyond the
slightest question of the hcpelessness
of further opposition.
