YELLOW FEVER in CUBA.
Heavy Rains Causes Several Cases 20
Break.

Havana, June 22.-The unusually heavy
rains that have been falling throughout
Cuba have caused yellow fever in places
where it had been unknown for several
years. Fortunately except at Santa Clara
and Quemados, the United States troops
have escaped.
At Quemados two new cases are re-
ported among the members of General
Lees staff-Major Kean chief surgeon,
AMI Capt Hepburn, signal officer.
Capt. Hepburn's case is serious but
Major Kean's Is light
Mrs. Edmunds, wife of the late Major
Edmunds, is convalescent. She has not
yet been told Of her husbands death.
Havana has developed only three cnses
thus far, in spite Of the gloomy predic-
tions Of what would occur as soon as the
rainy season, from which the city did
not suffer last year, was really at hand.
FL Cubano says. 1.-THE Cuhans have
right to object to the expenditure of
money for sanitary measures intended to
protect the lives OF few Americans, ID
they do not tn hsmselves take yellow fever.
In such circumstances large expenditures
cannot be justified.
General Wilson, commander OF the mill
itary department of Matanzas, Santa
Clara, telegraphs that the situation at
Santa Clara city has materially improved
since the troops We're ordered out the city
limits. Gen. Lee's quarters at Quema-
dos will be moved to the camp in tho
neighborhood Of Fort Columbia where
the troops are, or possibly, to the site of
his first headquarters at Buena Vista.

the press report of the bloody three-days'
engagement at Cstubig, which resulted in
the heaviest loss OF life the army has sus-

answer was received today confirming the

details
General Macarthur transmitted re-
port from Henry r. Allen, a major of the
Forty-third volunteers, who commanded
the United States forces on the Island OF
samar. II appears that this force was
divided among several ports on samar
and, while details are still lacking, 1t is
believed that this particular force which
was besieged at Catubig was commanded,
not by commander but by sergeant,
either George OF Hall, both Of whom were
killed. Cgtubig, where the engagement

Wash!r gton. May 16--The resignatiUn

here today. The majority opinion of the
