Santiago de Cuba, July 4.-Ten new
cases of yellow fever were reported
Saturday and five Sunday. This raises
the total number of cases to seventy
four. No deaths are reportedstoday
The United States troops have all
been removed from the infected camp,
but the doctors seem unable to check
the progress of the disease among
them. The camp, which is ON the road
to Ell Moro, and in a billy country,
was chosen because of its known sa-
lubrity and perfect sanitary eondi-

the reticence of those concerned and
the desire of the latter to avoid a pre-

general in question is said to be dis

thinks that what Cuba needs is not
republic, but strong hand at the

prefer royalty and the possible hon

The Cuban general referred to is I'M

If the agreement entered into
last winter by representatives OF
the Cherokee nation with the
Dawes commission should be re-
.habilitated and again submitted
to a vote OF the Cherokee people
it would be overwhelmingly de-
feated. Hundreds of voters have
expressed themselves or the
streets of this city to the effect
that they would never vote in tav-
or Of the treaty again unless it
were amended. II was ratified at
the polls last winter under protest
and many voted for it simply be-
cause it meant a final and definite
settlement of tribal affairs, and
provided for land titles. The
treaty is full Of incongruities, and
so rife with injustice that the
Cherokee people don't want it,
and they will never suffer it to
thrust upon them again. The
member of either branch of the
national council who seeks to foist
that agreement upon the Chero-
kee people does not represent the
best interests of his constituents,
mol does he represent the senti-
ments Of any considerable number
of Cherokee citizens.

As this city is growing rapidly
in population and in general i'm
~portance, it is very evident that
we must enlarge our capacity and
prepare to meet the additional OBJ
legations and expenses that are
sure to come. We are now to
have water works and electric
lights. The plants of each are to
be put in by private capital, and
not by the city. We believe this
arrangement to be fortunate for
the town, as public ownership Of
such enterprises in small towns
has never commended itself very
strongly to us. The taxes of the
town must necessarily increase, no
matter who owns these public in
stitutions the people have to MAIN
tain them anyway. We believe it
TO be especially fortunate for the
city that we have local capitalists
who are willing to invest their
money in electric light and water
works systems.
