THE FEVER AT SANTIAGO.
Fourteen Cases and -Four Deaths Are
Reported.

Washington, June 21.-Surgeon Gen
eral Wyman, of the Marine Hospital
Service. to-day received a cable from
DR.. Parks, the quarantine officer at
Santiago, reporting the existence at that
port of fourteen cases of yellow fever
and four deaths from that cause. This
is not the first report the Marine Hos
pital Service has received of the exist
ence of the scourge at Santiago. Five
days ago came the first report of the
appearance of the fever. On that day
five cases We're reported. There has not
been time for q man report since the
outbreak. In addition to the number
of cases and deaths Dr. Parks cable to-
day conveyed the information that the
American troops had evacuated the bar
racks, and that their bedding and bag
gage were being disinfected aboard the
marine hospital bark Rough Rider"
which is fitted with a complete disinfect-
ing plant The fact that the season had
advanced thus far with the appearance
only of a few sporadic cases of yellow
fever led to the general hope that the
improved sanitary conditions of SANTA
go, Havana and other Cuban cities
since the American occupation might
result in preventing an outbreak.
The following regulations have been
issued by the Treasury Department con-
cerning the disinfection of baggage
from Cuba:
/. Hereafter all baggage and per-
sonal effects, including hand baggage, of
passengers leaving the Island of Cuba
shall be labelled by the quarantine Off
Ger at the port from which the vessel
sails. The label shall bear either the
word s'Disinfected" or the words "In-
spected and Passed." or inspected and
Passed to Northern Territory"
?. All said baggage or personal
effects destined for ports in the United
States South Of the Southern boundary
of Maryland shall be disinfected and
bear the "Disinfected" label. Baggage

Movements in America.
Movements in America.

Manila, June 21.-9 p. m.-The in
surgent army has taken to the swamps
and hills beyond Imds. The largest
force is supposed to be in the neighbor-
hood of San Francisco de Malabon, hold
ing a position more toward the lake or
toward the coast, according as exigen-
cies demand
General Wheaton returned TO linus to-
day, bringing three men who were
wounded in yesterdays fighting.
The heavy rains that fall nightly
make campaigning uncomfortable. The
roads are still good, but the rice fields
adjoining them are pools of water.
The Filipinos will not fight unless they
can meet our troops in positions most
advantageous to themselves or take our
accommodating bodies in ambush.
1t is impossible to learn what effect
the recent defeat has had upon their
leaders. This should be disheartening,
for they had boasted that the Ameri-
cans could never conquer the Province
of Cavite, Aguinaldo's home country,
where he always worsted the Spaniards.
General Otis recently received a letter
signed by native women of the province
declaring that. if all the men were kill
ed, the women would still keep up the
fight against the Americans.
Copies of the insurgent organ, Inde-
pendencia, show that the Filipinos'
hopes of success are kept atiame by po-
litical movements in America. The In
dependencia prints reports of alleged
speeches made at alleged meetings in the
United States denouncing the war. and
it asserts that these represent the
dominant American sentiment. 1t de-
clares also that the Filipinos will con-
tinue the war until the next Presi-
Dental campaign, which is ''sure to re-
suit in a decision to withdraw the Amer
lean troops from the Philippines"
1t is reported that the Spanish gar
rison> at Baler, in the Province of
Principe, ON the east coast of Luzon,
which had become reduced to 20 men,
finally surrendered to the Filipinos after
holding out for a year.
The Filipinos imprisoned two English
men at Tachlobon, on the Island of
Samar, southeast of Luzon. The Brit
ish first-cass cruiser Grafton steamed
to that point from Cebu and her con-
mander demanded their release. When
this was refused. he landed force Of
marines and cleared his ship for action,
whereupon the Englishmen were hand
ed over.

SHOT HER HUSBAND.
While He Was Instructing Her How
to Use a Pistol.

Edenton, n. c., June 21.-Mr. Ed
ward Spruill, progressive farmer who
lives on the Perkins farm, about one
mile east Of Edenton, came very near
being killed Saturday night by pistol,
which was in the hands of his wife.
The weapon was discharged twice,
both balls taking effect, one on the
cheek and the other just over the heart.
1t was one of Smith & Wesson's make
of guns, No. 3S. 1t was a new gun.
Mr.. Spruill had bought it while in town
and took it home for a protection. lie
was showing his wife how to use 1t,
when she pulled on the trigger
too hard, causing it to shoot, the ball
striking her husband on the cheek. This
frightened Mrs. Spruill SO badly that
she jerked the gun again, the second
ball taking effect just over the heart.
DR.. j. Ell. McMullen was sent for and
dressed the wounds, but did not probe
for the bullet that lodged over the
heart, thinking the operation might
prove fatal. Mr.. Spruill is up this
morning and is doing as well as could
be expected.
