Admiral Sampn. accompanied by Commodore Schley and the murine staff. landed nt 9 o'clock this mornintf and met the municipal officers of Santiago. General Shafter has lind a thorough ex amination made of the sanitary condition of Santiago. The work was done by Dr. Goodf. llow, of the general's staff, also by a civilian physician. Ir. Wicker. They find that, although thcrv are but six cases of yellow fever In the city, In addition to two suspects, the town Is ripe for an epidemic. Santiago iuid Rio Janeiro are the greatest fever breeding centers In tho world. This town lacks every sanitary feature, at lis Iwt, and now, after a two months' siege, It Is a veritable, pest hole. Castillo, who came dlrwt from General Garcla s camp, did not attempt to conceal his chagrin. The Cuban soldiers now fully n-allie that there Is a rising sentiment against ihem In the army. They hear nothing but words of scorn from our men, and the ottlcera no longer eoncvtU their disgust for their allies, for the Cuban have neither fought nor worked. General Shafter yesterday morning sent an Invitation to General Garcia to attend the ceivmony of raining the American flag over Santiago, but the Cuban general de clined the Invitation, saying he hated the Spaniards, and added he did not want to be where any of them are. Slncu' that tlnra the Cubans have remained in their camp, eating American rations, and our troops have no communication with them. 1)10 GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS. St. Louis. July 19.

Sharp Passage Between Him and German Admiral at Manila. the j MINERS WITH FORTUNES. f i The Roanoake Arrives at Seattle Bring ing Four Tons of Gold. Seattle. July 19.-The X.r:5s American Trading and Tninsportatlng Company's steamer Roanooke arrived here this after noon from St. Michaels. Alaska, with 210 passengers and about four tons of gold, which, reduced -to dollars ard cents, amounts to between a million and a half and two million dollars. Of this amount the Canadian Bank of Commerce had ounces and the North American Trading and Transportation company AW ounces. Probably 50 per cent of the returning miners have fortunes averaging at least $l0.oxi0 each. Following Is a list of those having the largest individual amounts: William Shown, 1110.000. M. Barrett, $50,000. Alexander BoudtXte. $50,000. Ceeorge N. Belden, J51.0T.X). H. C. Anderson. $10,000. Frank Conrad. $40,000. James Ladd, $40,000. Edward Monohan. $35,000. D. U Spencer, $30,000. A. D.

The miners were yery reticent as to the amounts they brought. The reason for the observance of such secrecy lies jected to the Americans stopping uer ln a desire to evade the payment of a 10 man ships which have been In the bay per cent royalty exacted by the Can- once and had ibeem visited, tne uerman adlan government.

A World dispatch from Manila July 14 says: Admiral Dewey sent a message o the German admiral recently to inquire whether America and Germany are at peace or at war. If tlrey are at peace, he demanded that the German warships here pursue a different course; If they are at war, he wanted to know It so he could govern himself accordingly. Admiral Dewey was prompted to end this peremptory message by the action of the German cruiser Irene In preventing an Insurgent attack upon the Spanish garrison at Subig Bay, which greatly dis pleased him. Admiral von Dledrlch, In command of the German fleet In tlw Pacitlo returned an answer apologetic In tone that was satisfactory but afterwards he sent to Ad miral Dewey a note saying that he ob- I A Correspondent of the Associated Pres On the State of Public Affairs. Copyrighted 1S98 by the Associated Press) Havana. July 19. Correspondence of the 'Associated Press. A local newspaper , commenting upon the war undertaken by the United Slates against Spain In the, . name of humanity, says that If the money already spent by the Americans In war ; had been employed In helping the recon centrp.dos the latter, notwithstanding the Irregularities of Consul General Lee and other politlcans. would be eaitlng part ridges and drinking champaign. The same paper In an editorial based upon the report that the American Com 'mo.lore Watson, would take a squadron" .to the Spanish coast and bombard '. the forts, say the rumor !s "mere non- sense" This Is the argument: "Th ; Iowa, one of the vessels which Is said w ill go, has not room enough In her bunk ers for the coal necessary to carry her from the United States to Spain. But even supposing she can get coal enough. I what would be the American base of op : erations? if the American vessels were i damaged, where would they repair? J "As for bombarding ports, the answer to that is that Cadlx, Barcelona, Corruna. Santander and almost all the ports ot Spain are well fortified and In condition to repel any attack by the American fleet. Such a resolution, if it has been taken, is due to a desire of the United States government to satisfy clamorous spirits In the United States, notwlthsandlng that they are excited over the news that the second Spanish naval division under Admiral Camara 1s on the way to the Philippines, where it must most likely defeat the American squadron under Ad miral Dewey. "The American government has tried to persuade the American people that the sending to Spain of a squadron will com pel the squadron of Camara to return for the defense of the Spanish ports, so -that Dewey's fleet will be saved and there will be no danger that American ports In the raclfie will be bombarded by Camara." A cablegram Just received from Madrid says that In August the cortes will meet again to consider a matter ot the highest Importance. This has been much com mented upon In all circles and has caused considerable anxiety among ' many who until now have shown no lack of con fidence El Pais, the semi-official organ of the colonial government, laments the brevity of the news from Madrid and the fact that such dispatches as are published often appear so obscure.
