THE VAR LOAN BONDS.
Treasury Department Issues Another
 Statement Regarding Them.


 Washington, July 2S.-The treasury department to-day issued the following statement authorizing the assignment of the new bonds: In order to save vexatious embarrassment to larger sub- scribers to the war loan bonds, meaning by this subscribers for more than $500, the department has arranged to recog- nize transfers of notices of aliotments, so that persons receiving notice of the amount allotted to them will be in posi- tion to realize on them in case of neces- sity substantially as readily as if they were in possession of the bonds allotted to them. This has seemed to be the duty of the treasury department. The energies of the department are now di- rected to shipping bonds to small sub scribers, under the general theory of the law that the small subscribers should receive the first consideration. While making the allotment, notice as provided will not be sent to the larger subscribers. Sample forms of assign ment and transfers have been furnished to the sub treasuries in New York, Bos- ton, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, and New Orleans, where application can be made by those interested and fuller particulars obtained.

All the other governments ap preached for authority for meteorolog- ical stations in their territory have as scented, including San Domingo. The French possessions Martinique and Guadalupe, have notified this govern ment that they mnst decline to permit the establishment of our stations. as they have a complete service of their own, whose results they cheerfully of- fer to cable to us.
 To-day F. J. Randolph formerly in charge of the weather service at the house of representatives in this city, was directed to complete negotiations with the French local governments for transmissiens of the observations. The United States will reimburse the French possessions for the expense of cable transmissions Mir. Randolph will sail Saturday and en route will stop at St. Thomas and establish the station there, leaving MT. Lemon in charge. MT Randolph will take with him stan dard meteorological instruments for the 1JGa 1f ENrannh artfhnrifjae Chiaf Moore estimates that this entire Carib- benean system now provided for by an initiatory appropriation of $75,000 may be permanently conducted at a cost of not over $40,080 a year.

NUMBER OF SICK INCREASES
GEN. SH1FTER REPORTS 4 ,1ee CASES
 FOR JULY 29.


 New Cases Number s2a-secretary AL ger Deeply Concerned and the Troops
 Are to be Brought Homo as Soon as Possible-A Camp Selected for Them on u Tract of Land Adjoining Mon- tank Point, l.. I.-Ntn be Equipped Immediately.
 Washington, July 2S.-The war de- pertinent tonight posted the following: Adjutant General of the Army: Condition on the 27th instant: Total sick 4,122; total fever 3,193; new cases of fever S22; cases of fever returned to duty, 542
 Deaths-Prvate J. H. Farrell, Company H, Ninth Massachusetts volunteers at Siboney, yellow fever.
 Corporal Thomas Bolson, Company D, Twenty fourth infantry, Stboney, yellow | fever.
 Private William H. Byers, Company D. Seventeenth infantry, cerebral apopfexy. (Signed) Shafter, Major General. Secretary Alger is deeply concerned | over the welfare of the gallant troops | under Shutters command. The health | report shows a surprisingly large num- Der of cases of sickness, but army | surgeons authorize the statement that these figures are misleading in a certain lEan1a ho &ha ei+ be nearly so bas as they would seem to indicate. The slightest ailment of the most temporary nature suff1ces to place soldiers name on the sick re- ports, which in their present shape would not distinguish between such a case and one of mortal illness. The in ference is that many of these cases in Shafter's camp are of a trivial nature but go to swell it's grand total of sick and wounded. Notwithstanding this | mitigating fact, Secretary Alger is go- | ing to remove the soldiers at the very earliest opportunity to more health- 1 full cline.
 The surgeon general under the direc- | tion of the secretary, a few days ago inspected a tract of land adjoining Mon- | Island Railroad company, which had been offered to the government as suit able for a large encampment. The tract is three miles square, contains an abundance of fresh water, q consid- erable lake, a hill 150 feet in height and many other sanitary advantages, including salt water bathing. The | necessary orders to equip this as a
 camping ground will go forward imme- diately and every advantage will be taken to make the conditions as com- fortable as possible for the battle-scar- red veterans of Shafter's army. The | time for their removal Is left to Gen. eral Shafter, the only limitation placed upon him being that he shall not delay
 the homeward sailing of his troops be- yond the moment when 1t shall be safe for them to leave Santiago, having re-
 gard to the fever conditions. Mean while, details are being made of troops to supply the force that shall garrison Santiago so long as it shall be found 1 necessary to continue troops there. This force will be made up almost al- | together of immunes.

QUESTION OF HIGH IMPORTANCE.
American and English Trade With Tropical and sub-Tropical Regions.

American and English Trade With
 Tropical and sub-TropicaI Regions.
 London, July 29,-The Times pub fishes an article this morning from the pen of Benjamin Kidd, author of "So- cial Evolution" which deals with the immense trade of England and the United States with tropical and sub tropical regions. He asserts that dur ing the year. 1896 this trade amounted in the case of England approximately to e13S, ,00C, ,000, and in the case of the United States to e70,000. 900. He dwells upon the importance of the control over the regions and says:
 "The present war involves the future government of two of the richest por- tions of these territories and some of the richest on the earth's surface. yet for the most part. they are practically undeveloped and largely in a state of anarchy or primitive savagery, pre- venting the development of thelr nat ural resources" MT. Kidd thinks the question one of the highest importance to both England and America.

ADMIRAL oERyERA,s REPORT.
Forwarded to His Government Through
 the French Embassy.

the French Embassy.
 Washington, July 2S.-Admiral Cerve- ra has forwarded to the Spanish gov- ernment through the French embassy his full report of the naval engagement which resulted in the annihilation Of the Spanish squadron. The report is very long and treats of the great en- gagement even more elaborately than Sampsons report to the navy depart ment. Admiral Cervera's report, all though addressed to the Spanish min ister of marine, was submitted first to the American navy department in or der that the precautions might be talk passing between prisoners of war and the enemy's government.
 The examinations made by the naval authorities here was solely for the pur- pose of precaution, and care was taken not to intrude into the privacy of the document beyond this necessary inspec- tion. It was then sent to Ambassador Cambon to be forwarded to the Spanish admiralty. The strictest secrecy has been observed while the document has been in transit, and in order to avoid conjectural stories as to the contents of the report it can be stated that no intimation as to it's contents has been allowed to escape from the few persons through whom it has passed en route -...I- f re the Cervera report ever reaches the public it will be through the Spanish government, although it is probable that the report is not of a. character likely to be made public at Madrid.

the prospects of peace are, in conse- quency, gloomy.
 The Times commenting editorially upon the above says: "The suggestion from would-be friends of Spain merely shows that these critics entirely fail to grasp the military significance of America's sea power. Only by prompt and straightforward dealings with President Mckinley can Spain hope to prevent the fruition of American im- perial policy in the Pacific, the advant- ages of which even peace loving, mod crate Americans cannot ignore"
