GEN. WOOD AGAIN AT SANTIAGO
Adopting Energetic Measures to
Stamp Out the Yellow Fever
Payments Suspended.

Santiago de Cuba, July 11.-Gen.
Leonard Wood, the military governor.
returned yesterday morning from the
United States, and began vigorous
action TO stamp out the yellow fever.
He finds the situation more serious
than he lad anticipated.
To-day headquarters will move to
SOpgc, 90 miles north of here. a point
1905 feet above SEA level, as well as
all the administrative departments, eN-
cept the sanitary and a few immune
clerks on the headquarters and COM
missary stats.
The paymaster has been ordered tc
suspend all payments to the Cuban
troops until the fever has been
stamped out, the special object of the
order being to preventive soldiers from
drinking during the epidemic.
Many predict that there Will be
trouble when the United States troops
are entirely removed from the city,
as there are many hundred of des-
titute Cuban soldiers already here.
They are expecting payment, and have
been, though for the best reason, put
OFT for Ii month.

HIS LITTLE BUNDLE.

CLERK.

A ~quietlooking, smooth-shaven man, with
a straw hat pushed back from his forehead,
registered from an adjoining parish at the
Grunewald one evening and LAID a package
on the counter. The package was about
the size OF an unabridged dictionary and
was wrapped up in an old newspaper that
bore the stains of travel. 1t was tied with
a piece OF white cotton string. Il wish you
would take care OF this little bundle for me
overnight said the stranger. "-All right,
sir" replied the clerk. and, reaching for the
receipt book, proceeded to fill out a blank.
What's the ~value?' he asked, mechanical

He opened the paper and disclosed a rect.

PREFERS OLD VOLUNTEERS.
But Under the Law Men Must be Ems
I:stcd Without Discrimination
us They Apply.

Washington, July 11.-Secretary Al
ger is very anxious to have the new
regiments recruited as far as possible
rom men who served as volunteers
Turing the Spanish war. He has re-
ceived Information from Il number OF
officers, especially those who were on
duty mastering out the volunteers n
different states, that if there was an
opportunity afforded probably 90 per
rel OF the new regiments would be
composed of these men. Of course
under the regulations the recruiting
officers can not discriminate between
the men who have been in the volun-
tcer service and those who have not,
and men will be enlisted as they apply
without regard to their previous scrv-
ice records.

THIRD BRIDGE AT ST. LOUIS.
dered to Pass Upon Prepared
Plans for the Structure.

Washington, July 11.-Secretary Al
ger ordered the appointment of a new
board of army officers to pass upon the
plans for the proposed third bridge
ucross the Mississippi river at St.
Louis, Nc, between the two other
bridges now spanning that waterway.
This action was decided upon after a
hearing which the secretary gave to
the parties who are interested in the
construction of the bridge, and who
oppose the recommendation of the
present board that the principal span
Of tie structure should be 700 feet
in length. The board twice reported
in favor OF the 7O0-foot main span and
the second hearing at st. Louis was
granted because the bridge promoters
were unwilling to undertake its on
struction on the lines proposed by the
engineer officers. The persons inter-
ested insisted hat to require the main
span to be 700 feet was practically

involved would compel excessive tolls
% be charged, and make the enterprise
commercially Improbable. Further
more, they claimed there was no ne
cessity for such an extended span.
They believed authority should be
granted to construct the bridge, and
we re. willing 10 make the main SDan
about the same as those of the two
;ther bridges across the river, which
ne from $50 to 200 feet less than the
span favored by the board.
The whole matter was again gone
3ver before the secretary at the hear
ing yesterday, and in view of the great
interests involved, he decided to APP
point an entirely new board thor
onShly familiar with the river, and
the requirements of the locality to
pass upon the question.

ARBITRATION WAS REFUSED.
the Claim of stro-HunSa for
Damages Finally Rejected by
the United States.

Washington, July 1.-The officials
here confirm the advices from Vienna
that a plan of arbitration, proposed as
n means of settling claims growing
out of the Hazleton (Pa.) riots, has
been rejected by the United States.
This probably disposes of the matter,
according to the view held here, as i.
has Iun the entire gamut of diplo-
matte negotiations, and all of the
plans Of settlement, including the last
one Ct arbitration, have come to
nauoht.
At the outset the state department
called the attention of the governor of
ylvania. who in turn awaited
the action of the jury, at IIazleton,
which tricu the sheriff on the charge
of murder. The jury acquitted the
sheriff. ~whcrcupon the Pennsylvania
authorities held that they could not
recognize a responsibility which Il jury
had held did not exist.
The state department took Il similar
view, ~whcreupon Austria-IIungary pro-
rOseG arbitration of the claims. 1t is
this last proposal which is rejected,
which seems to close the matter, as
the claims are hardly considered Of
sufficient Importance to Justify Au-
sIrla-liuTgary to go beyond the diplo.
matte representations she has already
made.

1t seems her husband had been out very
late celebrating, and as he came home in the
rose flush of the morning he thought 1t
would Ue a capital idea to take a bath be-
fore getting into bed. First of all and most
important 1t would contradict any wrong
impression as to his condition, as his wife
sometimes had wrong impressions when he
had been out late at night. Women are so
suspicious.
So he went boldly to the bathroom and
was soon splashing around as gayly as a
canary. In fact, he created such an IN
usual commotion that his wife woke up
and went to see what was the matter.
Suddenly he saw her gazing through the
door with a look so cold and contempt
uous that it struck a chill to his very
heart. But he made a dive for the soap
and went on industriousiy with his ab.u-
tIOns.
What are You jaing there, Peter:" she
