APPEARS AT HAMPTON, VA, SIX DEATHS AT SOL
 DIERS' HOME.
FORTY CASES TO DATE.
Yellow Fever Experts Are Wanted by Gen. COrbin, Who Says Con-
 ditiOns Are Serious.

WASHINGTON, July 3l.-Surgeon- General Sternberg has received the following from Lieut-Col. Dewitt at Fort Monroe, regarding the out break of yellow fever at the soldiers home at Hampton, Va.
 FoRr MONROE, Va, July 31.-Sur- geon-General U. s. A., Washing ton, D. O.: At o'clock p. m., yes terday Surgeoo Pettus, United States marine hospital service, quarantine officer, officially stated that yellow fever was at National Soldiers Home, thirty-four cases and six deaths. Commanding off, cer took immediate measures for quarantine. Surgeon Pettus states that surgeon. general marine hos pital service was notified yesterday afternoon.
 Adiutant-General Corbin and Gen. Johnson, assistant adiutant-general were at Fort Monroe yesterday, and were present when Surgeon Pettus made his report to Lieut-Col. De- witt. Gen. Corbin says that from all accounts there is little doubt that the conditions are serious, and there is no telling how far the in. lection may have reached.
 Gen. Corbin says that one theory of the way ia which tue fever might have been brought to the home is that one of the soldiers recently visited Santiago. He returned some time since suffering with what the physicians thought to be dengue, It seems it was not until the in- mates of the home began to die that the disease was discovered to be yellow fever.
 According to advices received al the war department today there have been a total of forty cases, six of whom have died.
 Surgeon Petsus, through Gen. Corbin, has requested Surgeon General Stern berg to send him such expert immune yellow fever sur geons as he can find. Orders have been issued by the war department removing the garrison at Fort Mon roe to some point on the northern coast to be selected by Gen. Merritt A few officers and twenty enlisted men will be detailed at Fort Mon- roe as guard.
