Washington, July 26. A dispatch
received by General Cor bin from Gen
eral Shatter says that 890 new. cases of
fever of all classes were reriOrtcd in
his camp before Santiago vrwterdav.
As the same dispatch reports only four
lvtttlis. none of them from; yellow
fever, from among the hundreds of
fover cases in the camp, " the war
suthorities are more than ever inclined
to the belief that the yellow fever oases
are ol a mild type. Previous dis.
patches from Shatter and the medical
officers of bis wrps have indicated the
existenoo in camp of a very large nam
ber of cases of mularial fever and
denguo fever, the latter common in the
Cuban climate. Some clear cases of
yellow fevor are reported, but the offf.
eiula say they are few as compared with
those oi other lovers.
Ucneral Sliaftcr'e dispatch reooived
by General Corbin is as follows:

General Shatter reported bv .cable to
day that the condition of the troops at
Santiago was rapidly improving, ana
said he hoped in the course of a day or
two to have the men located in coin
lortaoie camps, where they mav rent
and recuperate and whoro the sick may

He la feeding 11,000 Spaniards, pris

There have been no fatalities from ma

Key West. Fla., July 86. Acting
under orders of Roar-Admiral Samp
ion, four American warships Thursday
afternoon entered the harbor of Nipe,
on tho northeast coast of the province
of Santiugo de Cuba, and after a furious
bombardment, took possession of the
harbor. The vessels engaged wore th
Topeka, Annapolis, Wasp and Leyden.
In the course of an hour they si -lenced
the forts, sank the Spanish gun
boat Jorge Joan and scattered the
Spanish riflemen who had taken part in
the engagement. Captain Hunker then
ordered the ships to go in. The Wasp
and Leyden, being the smallest of the
quartette, led the way, followed by tho
Annapolis, while the Topeka, which
oarrird a heavier battery, bronght up
the rear. The channel is very narrow,
and on the bluff to the right was a fort
and signal station. '
As the Wasp and Leyden rounded
the point, the forts fired a dozen shots.

with her three-pounders. Almost im
mediately the Bpaniaids deserted the
forts, and the Topeka continued to
send shells into them. A body of
riflemen on the beach returned tho fire
with a few wild shots, but they, too,
were quickly dispersed by the Toueka's
smaller guns. The Topeka also dis
charged two torpedoes. At the same
time, another small lort to the left of
the channel, fired on the American
shipe; but it was silenced as easily a
the other.
Meanwhile, the Wasp and Levden
opened a crops fire at tho Jorge Juan.
which lay to the south, in front of the
town of Mayari. Her position was
about a mile and a quarter from the
Iteach, and behind her was the third
fort. This fort opened on the Wairp

in the middlo of the harbor, about

structive fire and on the forts behind.
Tho Topeka sent four-inch shells crash- ;
ing into the Jorge Juan at tuch a rata
that she sank within 20 minutes.
When the firing became hearv. the
officers and crew of the Spaniard put
off in a small boat and made the shore
under a heavy fire and escaped into the
woods. Two shots from the Topeka'
bow gun dropped squarely , into the
Mayan forts. The Spanish pennants
disaptieared and the white flag was run
up. This ended a short but one of the
most vicious battles of the war.
CHEERED THE ENEMY'S FLAG
How Spanish Prlaonrra Thanked I'nrl.
Bam for Ilia Klndneaa.
Mrw York, July 26. Prisoner of
war cheering the flag of their captors
vas tne unusual sight witnessed at the
Union dock in Brooklyn today. The
sight was all the more significant as
the cheers came from Spanish throats.
Hie 254 prisoners captured on the four
pnxe steamers now in port were about
to sail for home under the British Mag,
itiey were on board the Hesperia, and
just as she backed out of the dock, one
of the patrol gunboats came by. With
one accord, tho prisoners raised three
mighty cheers, which startled the peo
ple on the Brooklyn bridge, and could
be heard "on Governor's island. It
was the best they could do in thanking
uncle bam tor the kindness lavished
on them while prisoners. ' The Hes
peria left at 8 P. M. The prisoners
were a happy lot, and their appearance
showed that they hail been well treated
while in enforced idleness. Among the
prisoners were six officers. They have
saloon acommodations, while the oth
er are in the steerage.
THE MAINE DISASTER.
Examination of Cervera'a Shlpa I'ravea

Off Santiago de Cuba, July 26.
"Any doubt that may have existed
that the Maine was blown up by an
outside bomb is dispelled by an exami
nation of the destroyed Spanish shine."
said a member of the board of survey
that examined the remnants ot Ad
miral Cervera's fleet. "Of the four
ships examined, three were blown up
by their magazine exploded and eveiy
torpedo in addition, yet on none of
them was there the same effect pro
duced as by the explosion on the
Maine. There was no upheaval of the
keel, and little bulging of the plates.
except In the immediate , vicinity of
the explosion. The effect was nearly
altogether upward, in some cases the
protected deck being lifted; but outside
of the springing of a few plates, the
bulls were intsot."
The examination of the wrecks of
the Spanish ships waa made first for
the purpose of ascertaining the effect
ot American gunnery, and second, to
find the effect of an internal explosion.
Both subjects bore upon the Maine
incident, as noted above.

insurgent chief at this time, but. It Is
pretty well understood that he wilt not
be allowed to commit the United State

New York, July 25. A Santiago
dispatch give the following a being a
letter sent by General Garcia to Gen
eral Shatter:
"Sir: On May 13, the government
Of the republic of Cuba ordered me, as
commander of the Cuban army in tho
east, to co-operate with the American
army, following the plans and obeying
the orders of its commander. . I have
done my best, sir, to fulfill the wish of
my government, and I have been, until
now, one of your most faithful subor
dinates, honoring myself , in carrying
out your orders, so far as my powers
have allowed me to do it. When tha
city of Santiago surrendered to tho
American army, news of that import
ant event was given to me by persons
entirely foreign to your staff. I have
not been honored with a single word
from yourself. Informing me about the
negotiations for peace, or the terms of
the capitulation by the Spaniard. Tha
important ceremony of tha urrender of
the Spanish army and the taking pos
session of the city by yonrsolf took
place later, and I only knew of both
events by public report I waa not
honored, sir, with a kind word from
you, inviting myself nor any of my
staff to represent the Cuban army on
that memorable occasion.
Finally, I know that vou have left
in power at Santiago tha tame Spanish
authorities that for three year I have
fought a the enemies of the independ
ence of Cuba I beg to ay that these
authorities have never been elected at
Santiago by tho residents of the city,
but were appointed by royal deciees ot
the queen of Spain.
I would agree, sir, that tha army
under your command should have taken
possession of the oity, the garrison and
tne mrtst l would give my co-operation
to any measure vou may have
deemed best, under American military
law, to hold the oity for your army and
to preserve public order until the time
come, for you to fulfill the solemn
pledge to establish in Cuba a free ami
Independent government, made by the
people of the United Rlalm. Rnt
the question arises of appointing offi
cers In Santiago de Cuba, under the
peculiar circumstanoe of. our 80 year'
strife against Spain' rule, 1 cannot
see, but with the deepest regret, that
suoh authorities are not elected by the
Cuban people, but are the same ones
elected by the queen of Spain, and
hence are ministers to defend against
the Cubans the Spanish sovereignty.
"A tumor, too absurd to telieve,
ascribed as the reason of your measurs
and of your order, forbidding my army
to go into Santiago, the fear of massa
cre and revenge against the Spaniards.
Allow me, sir, to protest against the
shadow of such an idea. We are ' not
savages, ignoring tha mlcs of civilized
war. We are a poor, ragged army, ai
ragged and as poor as was the army of
your forefathers in their noble war fot
independence, but, aa did the heroes of
Saratoga and Yorktown. wo respect too
deeply our oause to disgrace it With
barbarism and cowardice. '
In view of all these reasons. I sin
cerely regret to do unable to fulfill any
longer the orders of mv government.
and, therefore, I have today tendered
to theeommander-in-chief of th. Cuban
army, Major General Maximo Gomes.
my resignation aa commander of this
section of hi army.
Awaiting bis resolution. I withdraw
my force to the interior. Very respect
fully, "CALIXTO GARCIA."

Bpanlah Cruiser Oeatroyed. '
Washington, July 25. The follow.
ing message has been receievd at the
navy depaitment:
Playa del Este. July 25. The ex
pedition to Nipe has been entirely suc
cessful, although the mines were not
removed for want of time. The n-
ish cruiser Jorge Juna, defending the"
place, was destroyed without loss. Tho
Annapolis and Wasp afterward proceed
ed from Nipe to assist in the lauding of
me commanding general of the army on
arrival at Porto Rico.
"SAMPSON."
The brief report from Admiral Samp
son is really more important than ap
pears on the surface. The bay of Nine
lies on the north coast of Cuba, almost
directly across the island .from Santi
ago. It Is proposed to establish a base
there, which will save at leant two
days' time in getting supplies into
Cuba, as compared with the Santiago
route It will also furtu a good point
ot operation against flolguin. not fur
distant, and if.it should develop unfor
tunately that a restraining hand must
be laid upon the Cubans themselves.
Nipe in connection with Santiago would
be an effective means of doing this.
Interior Onrrlaona Surrender. ,
Washington, July 25 The war de
partment has posted the following:
Santiago, July 25. I sent two
troops of cavalry with Spanish officers
and Lieutenant Mi ley to roceive tho
surrender of Spanish troops at San Luis
and Palmas. They had not heard ot
the loss of Cervera's fleet or Total's
surrender, and declined to surrender
unless they could coma In and aee for
themselves. A detachment of men and
offiueia came in last night, and re
turned this morning, apparently satis
fled. "SHAFTER."
