THE ROS STD Strenuous Efforts Made to Prevent | the Spread of Infectious Dis- eases in the Camps. STRAINED RELATIONS WITH CUBANS. | | The Friendship Displayed Toward Them at | First by Our Soldiers Now Turned into Contempt—Gen. Garcia Was Invited to the American Flag Raising at Santiago but Kefused to Be Present. Santiago de Cuba, July 19.—Strenu- ous efforts to prevent the spread of in- fectious diseases among the American troops in front of Santiago de Cuba were made so soon as the city surren- dered and for the past 30 hours our sol- 's have been sent as rapidly as pos- sible to the hills to the north of the city, where new camps have been established. Everything possible is being done to improve the sanitary conditions of the camps, especially in the case of troops which are expected to take part in the expedition to Porto Rico. Of the regiments here only infected will be allowed to goto Porto Rico, The others will remain here for the present, encamped on the high ground north of Santiago. Two im- mune regiments from New Orleans and Mobile are expected’ here daily and upon their arrival they will be sent to the city, forming the only American garrison which will remain there. The physi- cal condition of our troops is not con- sidered serious, now that the number of cases of fever is growing less all the time, and itis believed that the dis- ease will disappear with the removal of the soldiers to healthier localities and the extra precautions which are being taken. Gen. Wheeler’s cavalry division is practically free from sick- ness and probably will be allowed to go to Porto Rico, to take part in the compaign. A facet which is impressed more and more every day upon the American officers and men is the increasing strained relations between the Ameri- cans and Gen. Garcia’s Cuban soldiers. Indeed, the situation has now reached a point where there is practically no communication between the armies and their relations border on those of hostile rather than the relations which one would suppose should exist be- tween allies. After Gen. Shafter an- nounced his decision not to let the Cuban junta enter the city of San- tiago deep mutterings were heard among Gen. Garcia’s men. It was evi- dent that the Cubans were greatly dis- appointed at the step taken by the American commander, for they had confidently counted upon having San- tiago turned over to loot and, plunder as they had in succession sacked Bai- quiri, Siboney and Ei Caney. Conse- quently their disappointment was keen when they ascertained that they were not to be permitted to take pos- session of the city upon Gen. Toral’s surrender. The Cuban soldiers now fully real- ize that there is a rising sentiment against them in the army. They hear nothing but words of scorn from our men as they pass onwards, lugging their bacon and hard tack into the woods. Even our officers no longer conceal their disgust for their allies, and it is understood that the war friendship displayed towards them at first has now turned into contempt, for the Cubans have neither fought nor worked. The correspondent of the Associated press, who sends this dispatch says a group of Cubans refused point blank to aid in building roads and, during the two days of heavy fighting, while they were loitering in the rear, our surgeons sought in vain to secure as- sistance from them, even to cut poles for improvised litters for our wounded. Gen. Shafter sent an invitation to Gen. Garcia to attend the ceremony of raising the American flag over Santia- go, but the Cuban general showed his resentment by sending a reply which amply confirmed the course which he and his ragged, ignorant soldiers have followed during the weeks of hard fighting and campaigning which have resulted in the fallof Santiago. He declined the invitation, saying he hated the Spaniards and added that he did not want to be where any of them were. Since that time the Cubans have remained in their camp, eating American rations, and our troops have had no communication with them. PORTO RICAN EXPEDITION. It Will Be Swelled to 40,000 Troops, aad Perhaps 70,000—Plenty of Heavy Artillery. Washington, July 19—The Porte Rican expedition will be swelled soon to 40,000 men and if necessary to 70,000 men, the equipment of the volunteer forces having now progressed so well as to warrant the statement that that number of men can be ready forservice in Porto Rico within a very short time. The entire body of troops at Tampa will be taken, numbering about 13,000 men and including a lot of heavy and light artillery under command of Gen. Rodgers. The expedition will be par- ticularly strong with artillery, assome of that at Santiago commanded by Gen. Randolph is to be drawn upon. Express Companies Must Furnish Stamps. Kansas City, Mo., July 19.—Accord- ing to the United States attorney gen- eral’s office, the express companies must furnish their customers with war revenue stamps. William Warner, United States district attorney, wrote to the attorney general in Washington, asking for construction of the law. | An answer was received this morning | from James E.

The Ft. Scott Tribune gives the following interesting details of the finding of old man Mehnert’s money: Ed C. Gates, attorney for the heirs of A ©. Mebnert, who was murdered at bis home, eight miles north of town, on July 3rd, this morning found the money the mur- derer was supposed to have taken as a reward for bis awful crime. It amounts to $4,387, and was found in the loft of the rickety old stone barn, which is located about one hundred and fifty feet west of the Mebnert farm. Misses Lena and Clara Mehnert, the only relatives of the murdered man, employed Mr. Gates to take charge of the estate until it was administered through the probate court. The only heir besides them is a brother, Otto Mehnert, who lives at Waco, Texas. While searching through a pile of oats in the barn, Mr. Gates uncover- ed in ene corner an earthenware fruit jar, covered withatincan. Taking this to the light he found in it an old pocketbook, bulging out with greenbacks. In the presence of Mr. Keating he counted the money and found it to amount to $442. It was all in bills ef $20, $10 and $5 with $2 bill. Going to cne end of the barn he placed his band on the top of the wall where the roof touches it, high above his head. His intention was to draw himself up to look on the boards above but his hand rested on a square, dust covered package. It moved but seemed heavy. He thought it contained nails. Drawing about five inches wide and high and a little longer, wrapped in an old piece of oil cloth. Inside the oil cloth he found a shot bag often used for a money bag, and then he sus- pected he had some gold. Inside the bag was another sack well tied. He opened it and found it filled with bright yellow gold coins. The work of counting the money was quite s job. It consisted mostly of $20 coins but there were many tens and fives and a couple two and a half Mr. Gates brought the money to town and deposited it in » vault at the First National Bank, where it will remain subject to disposition by the court.
