Cuba is embraced in the following:
A civil governor for the island of Cuba
who will be vested with the veto power

tualiy constitute de facto government.
The status of Cuba TO be precisely iden-
tical with that of a territory after con-
gress has passed an enabling act admitting
such territory 10 statehood. pending the
submitting Of the constitution 10 the peo-
ole.
This form of military and civil gov

scheme have been practically deter
mined upon and they will be outlined
in the presidents message to congress,
unless a change in conditions should
make it necessary to modify the plan.

IT is YELLOW FEVER.
seven Deaths from the Dreaded Dis
ease Are Reported from Sol
dicrs' Home Mt Hampton, Va.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The latest Off
cial adyices received up to eight O'Clock
Monday night show total of 81 cases
and seven deaths from yellow fever at
the soldiers home at Hampton, Va.
One new case occurred at the home
Monday. Thus far the disease has been
confined TO the home, but all surround
ing towns are excited and vigorous
quarantine is being maintained. DR..
Wasdin, of the marine hospital service,
is in charge of affairs at Hampton, and
is working in cooperation with the To-
cal board of health. He has strength
ened the Gordon about the town of
Phoebus, which he reports is in very
bad sanitary condition. The fact that
only one new case appeared Monday
is encouraging to the officials here, who
are taking every measure to prevent
spread of the disease. They feel that
the fact that the affected locality is in
the hands of the government and un-
der one management win be of great
value in dealing with the scourge, and
enable better results TO be obtained
than where epidemics break out in
commercial places.
DR.. Wasdin in the official report of
his examination of the existing condi-
tons at the soldiers home sums up the
history of the contagion as follows:
Early in July an old soldier entered
the home fer a short rest. and soon after
ward appeared at the dispensary, where
he Informed the Pr -scian in charge that
he was but recently from Santiago via
transport 10 a northern port; thence he
started for Manila via San Francisco; beat
his way to the home on freight train and
entered with his baggage. He complained
of dumb chills and fever, and was pre-
scribed for lie mingled freely with the
inmates of the home, and a short time ago
disappeared From this as a possible
cause the outbreak is as follows: Preced-
ing Friday, the 21st instant, there had been
noticed nothing of a suspicious nature
The weekly death rate was as usual But
on the 21st and 22nd there became i'll during
the night, with sharp or less chill, high
fever. some eight or ten inmates, men of
usually good health. These seizures, all
though noted as peculiar. had occasioned
no alarm until about Thursday, the 9th,
when a death occurred, the man becoming
distinctly yellow some time prior to
death. On or about the same day another
one died without having attracted partic-
ular attention; he also turned quite yell
low AutopSies were held on both by the
resident pathoogist. 1t was then, or a tit
tie later that the telegram was sent you
asking for an expert / found there was
$500 inmates, and that 80 had been taken i'll

any particular influence upon prices,

iron and steel Industry is reported al Chi

made in finished products, and numerous
shipments are reported not only to Ohio
and Pennsylvania, but as far east as Bos-
ton. Every blast furnace in the Birming-
ham district is expected to be In operation

which promises to be enormous, has all
been booked. The glass trade is reported
particularly active, and conditions In that
industry are said to be the best for years
past. The cereal markets note little
change in price, but trade opinion seems to
favor steady demand and few fluctuations,
in view of admittedly large necessary TAX
ings by foreigners. Liberal rains at the
south, particularly In the Atlantic coast
states, have improved cotton prospects
and slight shading in price is to be noted
for the week"

LIST OF FATALITIES.
leans In the Philippines Up
to June 2, 1890.

Seattle, Wash, July 29.-The Times
prints what purports to be full list
of fatalities in the American army in
the Philippines up to June 2. The list
was furnished by Fred E. Eitell, rep
resentative of the Manila Freedom, who
claims to have obtained it from the
records of the surgeon generals Of
fee at Manila. The total number of
fatalities is 1876; 20 officers, 600 pri-
Yates and ii civilians, attached to the
army. A remarkable feature of the
record is found in the statement that
the number of officers killed in battle
is out of all proportion to the num-
Der of privates killed. On the other
hand, fewer officers died from disease
proportionately than privates. Out
of the % officers dead, 16 were killed in
action, two were drowned and five died
of disease,
