FEVER is NOT EPIDEMIC
Dr. Drummer Explains the Situation Existing
at Havana.

HAVANA, June 22.-Dr. w. T. Drummer,
the chief quarantine officer of Havana,
says he was misunderstood in a recent in
terview regarding the use of the Spanish
military hospital. What he intended to
convey was that The majority of cases in
former years were Spanish soldiers who
were not acclimated, and that outside of
that yellow fever was seldom very bad,
rarely exceeding flour or five cases per
month, though in the military hospital
there were possibly from so to 120 cases,
the reason being that there was practically
no emigration except that of soldiers, that
the majority.,of tile people were accustom-
ed to the climate. and that the disease was
endemic and mot epidemic.
The American authorities at ManZanillo
have received notice that forty armed men
recently attacked the house of Captain
Tuolada near Tunas. The firing attracted
the attention of the rural police, where
upon the band retrea ted. Later advices
say the bandits were camped at Jobaba,
between Zanja and Camaguey.
Major Rafferty,; at Santa Clara, has paid

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, Jure 22.-Today's stock
market was as disappointing and as I'M
satisfactory any of its recent predeces-
scrs. During the opening hours there were
evidences of good buying on all sides, but
in moderate volume. London was disposed
to regard the political outlook as having
improved, and again reported a Willingness
tc follow the lead of the local market in
any advance. Earnings, present and pros
pective, were uniformly good. and for a
time prices We're inclined to reflect these
influences.
Atchison preferred was given excellent
support for the first hour, and moderate
commission house inquiry attracted to
it solely on account Of its prospects for a
profitable season.
Northwestern's earnings were good and
would have attracted attention in any other
market. The Vanderbilt issues gave early
promise of leading the market back
towards a higher plane, but after starting
seemed to have exhausted their momentum,
and at once relapsed into dulness.
In several of the railway specialties there
was a good demand and some sharp i'm
provement from yesterdays low levels fol-
lowed Later in the day gold shipments
We're predicted and traders attacked the
market, using the industrial list as the
basis of the movement. The steel stocks,
Federal Steel common in particular, de-
trading in the neighboring issues. As usual
there was little explanation attempted as
TO the motive of the movement the sue
cess of continued pressure justifyiug itself
American Sugar was strong during the
morning, advancing y per cent to 1913 but
was later sold down per cent under mixed
offerings.
The tobacco issues, which were RESPONSE
bic for much of the undoing in yesterdays
market were moderately steady during the
greater part of the day. The sharp decline
In them is now generally believed to have
been the result of speculative tactics and
but remotely connected with trade condl-
tions.
Tomorrow will probably see all doubt
solved as to the dividend policy to be pur-
sued by the directors of the American Steel
ana Wire Company. The relative firmness
OF the stock today was taken as Indicative
OF continued differences between the east
ern and western contingent
IL Is now believed that the short interest
IN the market Is sufficiently large to force
advances in both the indus trial and railway
departments. In the latter however recent
SUBSTANTIAL declines have enabled A consid-
cradle covering of such obligations bu+ IN,
process Will, in all likelihood find very sinh
stantlal reflection in the railway list should

Is abundant in round amounts and there
are convincing theoretical arguments tand-

buying power, there are no evidences Of n
practical existence of such force There

the present handful of professional traders
are permitted to fix prices.

AMBASSADOR Won HoLLEBEN's TRIf
Will Shortly Leave for a Summer Va
cation in EHEane

The German ambassador, DR.. Won Hol-
iepen, was among the diplomatic callers at
the State Department today but as this
was the regular diplomatic day no special
significance was attached to his talk with
Secretary Hay. 1t is understood however
that the ambassador will leave for Berlin
on summer vacation about the middle of
next month, and this move is taken to midi
cate satisfactory condition of German
American affairs resulting from number
of informal conferences which have been
held of late. The German reciprocity treaty
negotiations have gone over until fall, be-
ing more or less associated with the meat
exclusion measure now pending before the
German reichstag. In the meantime it Is
understood that the retaliatory measures
authorized by the last Congress are not
likely to cause friction between the United
States and Germany, as the disposition
among officials, both diplomatic and gov
eminent, is to maintain the present serene
and amfcable condition of affairs.
The Samoan settlement is regarded as
further removing the sources of possible
controversy, AMI giving opportunity to the
ambassador for this trip abroad. He will
visit Berlin and will have opportunity of
exchanging views with the government Of
ticials the subjects of interest between
the two countries.

More Interest Seems to BE Taken

The Dewey subscription fund has reached
a total of over $10,0O0 and there is more
hope that the fund will swiftly increase.

In all parts of the country increased in
terest is being taken in the raising of the
fund, and the daily receipts are growing
1t is said that in case the total does not
reach the amount contemplated a number
of wealthy men stand ready to put in suffi-
Gent to run the total up to $1,000
There is no official information as to
whether Admiral Dewey will accept the
residence to be offered him, and there is
still belief that he will advise that the
money be turned into a home for invalid
sailors. This is largely conjecture, how ever
and the officials in charge of the fund say
that 1t has had the effect of stopping sub
scriptions to some extent.
