Washr.ng ton. July IX Pr-ss reports
of the burning of S.bom-y by medical
olliiers ..f the Cnlted Suites army had
dei.refsing effect upon the fronds of the
soldiers at the front In Cuba.
Por a long time It was impossible to
learn frmn any ulilclal source the exact
state of affairs at the headquarters of
the ..liny corps, and this reticence on the
part of the officials had the n.it'ira! effect
ro Increase the upprehenslon. Finally '.he
fact was reluctantly admitted lhat U
was not certain that yellow fever existed
at Siboncy. but reports overnight from
the medical officers did state that tin re
were fourteen suspicious cases of fever.
The fact that these cases were almost
entirely oonllned to members of the quar
termaster's department, teamsters and
others, have encouraged the officials here
to believe that the main body Is not In
danger ftvm the disease If it should turn
out to be yellow fever.
That the disease did exist In Santiago,
though never officially admitted, was
breught here In private letters from offic
ers to their friends, and the exodus frvm
the cltv to the vicinity of Shafter' s camp
of ISAM Inhabitants, presumably in the
most destitute and filthy condition, would
afford ample opportunity for the com
munication of the disease to the Ameri
can troops.
In his efforts to assist the poor people
General Shafter ahs been obliged to make
use of the quartermaster's department to
deliver supplies to them, and from the
exposure thus resulting fourteen cases
are reported, from there.
The dispatch says the last nine cases
were In the quartermaster's department,
and live among refugees. The cases are
regarded as mild cases of yellow fever.

GERMAN INSOLENCE.
Gunboat Irene Tries to Prevent an In

Copyrighted 1S!S by the Associated Press.
Manila, July 9, via Hong Kong, July li
The Insurgents on Wednesday, July 6,
reported that the German gunboat Irene,
In Sublg bay, refused to permit them to
attack the Spaniards on Grande Island.
Rear Admiral Dewey promptly dispatched
the Raleigh and Cocord to Ivestlgate the
matter. On entering Sublg bay the Ral
eigh opened flro on the forts, whereupon
the Irene slipped her cable and steamed
out by tho other channel. The result of
the lire of the American warship was that
tho Snanliirds, numbering; over 500 men,
surrendered everyehlng,
On returning to Manila tho Irene ex
plained that she Interfered "In the Inter
est of humnnlty," and offered to hand
over to the Americans the refugees she
had on board.- Admiral Dewoy has de
clined to accept them.
New York. July 13. In the following
letter to George Newton ot Newark, N. J.,
J. A. Manky, formerly of Bloomtleld, N.
J., and now with the auxiliary cruiser
Itadgcr. stationed off Havana, gives an
interesting account of the sinking of a
Spanish blockade-runner on the n'ht ot
the Ith of July.
"Last Monday night," writes Manley,
"our lookout saw a stranger and we
chased her for a while then gave up, as
our ortjeers thought she was one of the
blockade Meet trying to fool us. The
converted yacht took a hand later on and
she s..ased her. The gunboat Castine
took a hand In the game. It seems that
they tried hard to make her come to, but
her pilot knew his business and got along
the coast anil near to Marlel. As daylight
appeared we were t'gnalled to come along
side the vessel.
When we reached her we found she was
a large four-masted steamer and rather
than be captured she ran up high and
dry on the beach. The Castine had cor
nereu herself betwfen a Spanish gunboat
and the forts of Marlel. The Prairie
tackled both and by maneuvering nicely
tho Sastlne got out. She then blaied
away at the blockade-runner. Very soon
the latter was a mass of fire and burned
nil dav long.
"There were several explosions on her
and our ottloers feci confident that she
was loaded with ammunition.
The Amphrltite got here yesterday and
will most probably try to do something
before long. The Spanish gunboats are
dodging In and out of Marlel under pro
tection and If they overstep the bounds
they will see their finish."

goes right in close, daring them to waste
their ammunition. They evidently have

WATSON TO SAIL THIS WEEK.
Porto Rico to be Taken at Once. Put the
Havana Campaign Postponed.
New York. July 11 A Tribune special
from Washington says:
The actual departure of Commodore
Watson's raiding squadron for the Coast
ot Spain, which the naval authorities ex
pect will occur about the end of the
present week. Indicates sufficiently the
complete abandonment of any intent'oti
to besiege Havana In the next three or
four months and confirms the Impression
that no extended military operations will
be prosecuted in Cuba for the capitula
tion of Santiago.
The remarkable difficulties which havo
attended the Investment of 8:int!iigo and
the resulting tedious delays have seved
to convince the military and naval au
thorities that Havana cannot be attacked
successfully with less than l'lO.OuO men
and the entire naval force in the Atlantic.
The city, ordinarily one of the best forti
fied ports in the world, has been mada
more Impregnable In the last two months
through the ceaseless activity of General
lllanco, who has surrounded It with
several chains of strong entrenchments
and fortifications In addition to the new
batteries he has mounted along the coast.
Without the strong vessels attached to
the raiding squadron the navy would be
powerless to render effective assistance
to the army against Havana, and It Is
deemed Impossible that land forces alone
could secure the surrender of the city
with less than several month's campaign,
which would be out of the question be-
