MODERN - ARMS WONDERFUL BRAVERY OF OUR SOLDIERS MAGNIFICENT. £ General Henry Praises Shafter and the Officers and Men Under Him in the Santiago Campaign. * 2 WASHINGTON, July —With the week just closed the United States saw the end of the third month of the war | with Spain, and the responsible offi- cials, from the President down to the with shaping the course of events, feel nothing but satisfaction at’the prog- ress made. An army of a quarter of a million men has been mobilized, armed and equipped and much of it has seen service. The battles preceding the capture of | Santiago have been remarkable in| many respects, and in the opinion of | military experts have covered the| United States army engaged with in- | effaceable glory. Modern warfare of a | type developed in these engagements | was absolutely new and untried, not only to the United States but to the world. No such charge is recorded in | history as that made upon the fort and blockhousese crowning the hills of El Caney. There have been engagements between trained troops and savage races In the jungles of India and on the hills of South Africa of late years that | conveyed in a slight manner the possi- bilities of modern weapons, but these battles fought by the Fifth Army | Corps have been the first in which | large bodies of troops of civilized na- | tions on both sides have been engaged with all the implements of modern | warfare, and the result is bound to be | highly instructive to the military stu- dent and to extort admiration for the splendid fighting qualities of the United States soldiers from the most unwilling critics. Few officers in any army have had more experience in hard fighting, e: pecially in rough country, than th old Indian fighter, Generzl Henry, to the opinion of the merits of our officers and troops expressed by him to Adjutant General Corbin, in a letter | 2: rtraits | of the nation's heroes since the tea went | | | | 1 + vant, who kisses you PARQ dated in front of Santiago, Ju. 12: We had a pleasant sail down, but, hav- | ing to row the men ashore, it took some | time to get off. We left Siboney at 2 p. m. vesterday with the Bighth Ohio, and came into camp here about three | miles from the front. In company with | General Breckinridge, I rode to the front | to General Wheeler's headquarters, and, | a flag of truce being up, had an oppor- | tunity to see the lines. We are almost | on top of them—the front of Wheeler be- ing about 00 yards to them—but the country is rough, going down to a fall- ing and ascending, all covered by their fire. The country all the way 1is the roughest 1 ever saw. We have to follow roads or trails and.come under heavy fire, their position commanding’ every ap- | proach. The work done by these troops | since landing, their heroism and patience | under discomforts, heat and rain, calls | for the highest praise, and the work ac: complished by Shafter, his pertinaci and “goaheadedness” under adverse cir- cumstances and discomforts, is a revela- tion to me. I doubt if there is another nfl'\(;-lr;!who would have “‘gotten there” as e did. Our loss was most unfortunate, but from the character of the country could not be avolded, “if we had to get there."” Last night the Eighth Ohio were al- most drowned out, and it pours to-day; that’s the climate, and to get out of it it would be cheaper to lose more by fight- ing and success than by illness which is sure to come by staying. We have about thirty cases of yellow fever and many of malaria, but the men are cheerful. Gen- eral Duffield and Captain Wilcox have yellow fever—they say in a mild form— got from sleeping in the infected build- | ings, which are now to be burned. | Miss Clara Parton and Mrs. Addison Porter rode to the front yesterday in an army wagon over rough roads and rain- ing; they are unselfish women. Too much credit cannot be given the hero- ism, pluck and patience of those who | have borne the brunt of this work. NEARLY FOUR HUNDRED } NEW CASES OF FEVER As the Deaths Number Only Four, the Epidemic Evidently Is of a Mild Type. WASHINGTON, July 20.—A dispatch | received to-night by Adjutant General | Corbin says that 3% new cases of fever of all classes were reported in the camp be- fore Santlago vesterday. As the same | dispatch reports only four deaths—and | none of them from yellow fever— from among the hundreds of cases of fever known to exist in camp, the war authorities are more than ever inclined | to the belief that the cases of yellow | fever are of a mild type. i Previous dispatches from General Shafter and the medical officers of his | corps have indicated the existence in/ camp of a very large nymber of cases of | malarfal fever and dengue fever, the latter being peculiar to the Cuban climate. Some clear cases of vellow fever are reported, but the officials say they are few as compared with those of other fevers. General Shafter's dispatch, as m; ublic by Adjutant General Corbin, loWS: “SANTIAGO DE CUBA (via Haytl) July 24.—Number of new cases of fever o all “classes for yesterday approximately, 396.

FRIENDLY TERMS OF A NOTE FROM KAISE President McKinley Pleased by a Communicat From WASHINGTON, July 24—Emperor ‘Willlam has sent a message to Presi- dent McKinlev which is exceedingly gratifying in tone. It was communi- cated to the President on Friday, just before the Cabinet meeting, by the Ger- man Embassador, Von Hollenben. The exact nature of the communication can not be learned. It is guarded with ex- ceptional care and precautions have been taken to prevent even an intima- escaping official circles. From this it is believed that the com- murlication mav be the forerunner of others from which the administration expects important results, and is the beginning of negotiuiions of a weighty character. All that is known now is that the message was most friendly in tone. and that its receipt has given great pleasure to the Presi- dent and his advisers. Officially there has been no correspondence between ‘Washington and Berlin which has been stiff or unfriendly. The conduct of German ships in the Philippines appears to be a matter thus far solely between Admiral von Diede- richs and Admiral Dewey. The gov- ernment at Washington has made no representations to the government at Berlin_with regard to the incident in Subig Bay, and the wisdom of this re- straint appears now in the friendly ap- proaches which have just been made. If it be true, as observers in London in- timate, that Germany and England are that 1t | R WILHELM ion Received Berlin. coming close together, the visit of Em- | bassador von Hollenben to the White House on Friday may be a diplomatic incident of the very highest import- ance. This is not the only diplomatic inci- dent of recent occurrence which may have an important bearing on the| progress of the war. There is reason to | believe that informal intimations have been made by the representatives of certain Buropean Governments with regard to the purpose of sending Wat- | son's fleet across the Atlantic, which, while they were in no way protests or objections, betrayed a mild curiosity as to the destination of the fleet, and made it seem advisablé to the admin- istration to defer for a time the send- ing of Watson on his European mis- sion. The semi-officlal announcement that the fleet was not to bombard Spanish citfes and was not directed offensively against the Spanish coast is believed to have been drawn out in a manner by these intimations and to have been in- tended as an indirect response to them. So long as the object of the visit to Buropean waters is to meet and de- stroy or capture the ghips under. Ca- mara’s command there can be no pos- sible objection on the part of any neu- tral European power, and, this assur- ance having been - given, the United | States will be in a position later, if | need be, to intimate that the Euro- | pean powers might advantageously use | their influence with Spain to bring her to ask that a devastating war be brought to an end. CUBANS SEEK SOVEREIGNTY Correspondent Aras to the Front Again. MAKES A PLEA TO M’KINLEY | SUPPLEMENT TO THE GARCIA LETTER. Shows a Hungry Desire to Despoil Santiago—Shafter’s Firm Stand Commended by the Populace. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 23.—The document which is being circulated for signatures among Cuban residents in Santiago addressed to the President of | the United States thanking him for the co-operation of the army of the United States and expressing the hope that the American Government will recognize Cuban sovereignty in the surrendered portion of the province of Santiago de Cuba, was drafted by Aras, the news- paper correspondent on the staff of the Cuban general, Castillo, who directed the alleged letter of protest from Gen- eral Garcia to General Shafter. The following is the text of the document: To President McKinley: The under- signed, Cubans by birth, land owners and residents of Santiago de Cuba, represent- ing with their families the non-combatant population that swered for many years Spanish rule in this section of the island, wish to express their warmest thanks to the people of the United States for de- livering them from the insufferable yoke of Spanish rule. They wish also to express their absolute confidence in the good faith and humani- tarian purposes of the United States and in the pledge that territory of C®ba is not to be conquered by the American troops We believe and would urge that our own people are capable of fulfilling the international obli- gation to establish a government for the island. Cuba in the future may possibly become, in the course of a few years, part of the territory of the United States, thus increasing the comfort and happiness ol this people, but now all desire a govern- ment of our own, as compensation for the sufferings and heroism of our army and the definite establishment of the Cuban republic with Cuban authorities in ac- cordance with the resolutions of the United States Congress. We hope that the present state of af- fairs at Santiago—where Spaniards are still the administrators of our interests, property and fate—will be brief; that the city may soon be turmed over to the Cu- bane, and that our army may enter with the flag of Cuba waving triumphantly be- side the American flag, as Cuban soldiers fought side by side with the Americans against the common enemy. . General Shafter's refusal to permit the entrance of armed Cubans into Santiago is an extremely wise one in these excited days, as there might be trouble. Unarmed persons, however, are free to enter at all times. As soon as the Spanish soldiers have embarked Cubans will be allowed to enter the city freely. The first embarkation is expected next Thursday, in accordance with a contract made between the United States and the Spanish Trans- atlantic company. The United States transport Santlago left this morning for Newport News with sick and wounded. The steamer Jamaica arrived to-day with passen- gers from Jamaica and proceeded to Guantanamo with provisions for the United States fleet. To-day the Spaniards turned over their cavalry horses. Only ‘143 were surrendered. The others have been’ killed for food for the army. —_— GROSVENOR NOT GOING AS M’KINLEY’S ENVOY No Truth in the Story That He Is to Broach an Anglo-Saxon Alliance. PREPARED FOR THE INOUIRY Agnews Ring Outlines Its Course. INSTRUCTIONS | GOULD GIVES SUNDAY CONFERENCE AT THE ASYLUM.

Special Dispatch to The Call SAN JOSE, July 24.—Trustees Gould, | Curnow and Hale and Dr. Sponogle | had lunch together at Agnews Asylum | to-day and afterward held a (‘onfeni ence. The coming investigation was the | sole subject of discussion. Trustee Gould, with his usual cunning, outlined the programme to be followed. It is expected the charges of immoral i conduct against Mrs. Madigan and| Tourtillott will be taken up and dis- posed of in a couple of hours. Then Dr. Sponogle will demand that the charges against him of the alleged Kkilling of his first wife for her life insurance and the rulning of a girl in Fresno will be investigated.| Then, as Trustee Gould has dictated, | Detective Erwin Frost will be called to | the stand. He will back down from his previous statement about Dr. Sponogle, | and, in order to wash his hands of the affair, will swear that he was hired by | Trustee White to dig up evidence | against the medical director’s charac- | ter. p | The Trustees to-day discussed the | evidence they expect to come before the board and their plans were given to their workers so that the asylum em- | ployes could govern their testimony ac- | cordingly, if called at the investiga- tion. Dr. Sponogle told thpse present | that he had letters that wjpuld clear | him of the charges and that' a number | of witnesses from Sacramento had vol- unteered their services if ne¢ded to ex- onerate him. ) Dr. Sponogle also expressed a desire | for redress in court against those who, he claims, have defamed him, Trustee Gould, who is accompanied | by his little daughter, has ensconced | himself in the finest suite of\rooms of | the asylum, and there he will &tay until | the investigation closes. He is & mighty | monarch there and the employes pay | him as much homage than qver did| subjects to a king.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 23 (via Kingston, Jamaica, July 24).—The repjort published in the United States that there are thirty cases of yellow fever in |the cavalry division proves, on investigatlion, to be unfounded. Captain House requiests that the report be definitely denied. There have beer no fatalities from fever thus far, but so long as the en are exposed to the hot sun during |the day, the increasing rains and the hedivy night dews, malaria will increase and our men grow worse. A second attajck is much more difficult to eradicate, §s- pecially in the case of men exposed (to the present conditlons. { The cavalry i{s anxious to proceed ‘to Porto Rico, but will be obliged to remalin here until the Spanish prisoners of war have been transported to Spain, whic! it is believed, will have been acconp- plished before the next month is welll advanced.

FOR GENERAL GARCIA| American Supplies Denied Him as Long as He Maintains His Present Attitude. NEW YORK, July 24—A Washington special to the Herald savs: Major Gen- eral Shafter is still leaving the adminis- tration in. official ignorance of tue corre-| spondence that has passed between him and General Garcia. ‘' The informaiton at hand seems to indicate, however, that the | American commander was. not discourte- | ous to the Cuban general, as has been al- leged. The only substantial ground that Garcia had, as the matter is understood here, was that General Shafter had failed | to invite him or any member of his staff | to witness the surrender of the Spanish | forces and the raising of the American | flag over the city of Santiago de Cuba. | General Shafter's course in refusing to | turn the city of Santiago over to the Cu- | bans meets’ with entire approval here. Had he placed the Cubans in control he would have in effect recognized the Cuban republic, a thing Congress expressly re- fused to do, and which the President does not think should be done until it is seen whether there is a stable ’%o\‘ernment on the island to recogni here is to be no change in the policy of the Govern- ment in sending supplies and arms to the Cubans, except that those under Garcia probably will not receive more assistance as long as their leader malntains his present attitude.

NEW YORK, July 24—A Washinugton special to the Herald says: Every effort s being made by the Navy Department to put the naval auxiliary fleet Into such condition that when it goes out of com- on it can be put into service within ight hours. This is the only rea- n_for keeping the fleet up. Captain J. R. Bartlett, retired, its chief, who is now on an inspection tour, Is anxious to thor- oughly organize the service preliminary ing it out of commission, and Sec- retary Long is-doing all he can to aid the captain in his purpose. Five ve 1s of the auxiliary fleet are still to be commissioned. These are the old war-time monitors Canonicus and ahopec, which will be sent south; the vachts Shearwater and Sylph and the tor- pedo boat Manly. The Canonicus and ahopec have onlv recently received new water-tube boilers. They will be placed on at League Island prebably present week by the naval a organizations of the States whosa It is expected they mili ports they will guard. will be sent to Port Royal and Brunswick, Ga. It is the intention of the department to keep the monitors at points where they are now stationed as headquarters for the naval militia, but there is reason to be- lieve stricter care of ships will be re- quired than was the case before.the war.
