Fears of Disease Causes Much Unea=
sines s.
Washington, July 13.—The faces of the members of the war board
wore serious and set expressions wnen the council of war broke up this
morning. They expressed determination, if not anger, too The meet
ing of the war hoard was followed by a joint meeting of the board and
cabinet.
General Alger carried with him a number of dispatches which have
been coming in from General Miles this morning, bnt they were not given
out. In fact it is said that their contents would create resentment to
ward Shatter and his management to such an extent that Secretary Alger
suppressed them.
It is known that they treat of the dangers from yellow fever and ex
press the belief that the disease was brought among the Americans by
refugees who were allowed free access to the camps and <inartermaster’s
department. The result of General Miles' dispatches is an order which
has been sent to him to strike the final blow at once.
When asked if General Miles was in command, a member of the cabi
net answered: “He could not help from being in command unless he re
mained on board ship The moment he puts foot ashore, by virtue of his
office and according to regulations, he is in command.”
The fact that he burned Sibonev shows in what danger he found the
camp. The great anxiety visible on all sides early this morning gave
way to an et»ier feeling when the determination to assault at once be- •
remp, known. It is believed that the attack will be made this afternoon,
though it is possible that it may be postponed until tomorrow morning.
The dispatch which was framed at the council of war to General Milts
read to use his own judgment in all things and attack at once if possible.
It urged Miles to use strenuous means to protect the troops from fever,
and notified him that hospital reinforcements would be sent at once.
Such is the situation and anxiety at this hour.
TORAL WAITS FOR INSTRUCTIONS.
Washington, July 13.—Secretary Alger has received the following dis
patch from General Miles.
“Playa Del Este, July 13.—Secretary of war:
“At a meeting between the lines at which General Shatter and General
Wheeler and the Spanish general, Toral, were present, the latter claims
that he is unable to act without authority of his government, bnt he re
ceived authority to withdraw and surrender harbor, ports, munitions of
war and eastern portion of Cuba. He urgently requests until tomorrow
noon to receive answer from his government, regarding offer of our
government to send his forces to Spain, which was granted.
(Signed) MILES, Major General Commanding.
On the bulletin giving General Miles’ dispatch was written underneath
the dispatch the following:
“Permission to withdraw was declined by war department. R. A. A.”
Washington, July 13.—The war department has given oat the follow
ing from General Shatter:
“Adjutant General, Washington:
“Headquarters, Near Santiago, July 13.—Your telegram saying no
modification of orders allowed just received. Have had an interview of
an hour and a half with General Toral and have extended truce until
noon tomorrow; told him that his surrender only will be considered and
that he was without hope of escape and had no right to continue the
fight.
“I think it made a strong impression on him and hope for his surren
der. If he refuses I will open on him at 12 noon tomorrow with every
gun I have, and will have the assistance of the navy, who are ready to
bombard with 12-inch shells. Signed, SHAFTER.”

Your Business Solicited.
One Denver firm has been investiga
ting the merits of advertising. A care-
! ful account has been kept, and with $250
I investment each month, the business
has shown an increase from 100 to 163
r per cent, over corresponding months last
| year, when no newspaper advertising
was done.
This has been the experience of the
dry goods firm oi Fishel Bros. & Wise,
1,530 Lawrence street. Previous to last
January the firm d ; d not advertise.
Since they have placed advertisements
in the Denver Republican and one other
newspaper, spending not to exceed $250
a month altogether.
The result has beer# that their busi
ness has peen more than doubled. They
have been forced to employ twice the
number of clerks, and, while they have
not materially increased their stock,
they have turned the goods very rapidly.
A comparison of the business so far
this year with the corresponding monJhs
last year shows the following great in
creases: January, 112 per cent.; Feb
ruary, 144 per cent.; March, 163 per

real live leaders have said when about
to sail into the dons or when they want
ed to make themselves heard around the
world.
“Captain Evans, the Iowa’s bluff and
impetuous commander, first caught the
popular fancy, long before war was de
clared, by his picturesque promise to
‘make Spanish the court language of
hell’ if he were allowed to take the In-
diana to Havana
•‘Then came Sigsbee’s quiet ‘suspend
judgment’ on top of the swift calamity
of the Maine, and following that Lee’s .
promise as he was lea ving Havana that
when he came back he would come at
the head of an American army.
“There is a terrible prophetic ring in
that last, now that Lee is really at the
head of an army corps and one that is
expected to figure in the army of inva
sion. Bat the phrase that meant the
most, that most clearly epitomized the
fearless deliberateness of the man and
summed up the calm reliance in efficient
preparation, was Dewey’s ‘Yon may
fire, Gridley, when ready,’ as the two
stood on the Olympia’s bridge under th«
fire of the Spanish batteries. Reams of
description and ‘character sketches’ to
satiety have added no tiling to the in-
Dr. John W. Heidt, pastor of the
First Methodist church, received news
yesterday from his son, Lieut. James V.
Heidt, of the United States army, now
at Santiago.
This news came through Corporal
Little, who was wounded in the battle
and is now at Fort McPherson, Atlanta.
Corporal Little was right by Lieut.
Heidt during the battle and left him a
few days since in good health.
Corporal Little told of Lieut. Heidt’s
great bravery in the battle. The first
day’s fight resulted in the wounding of
the captain and first lieutenant of the
company to which Lient. Heidt belongs.
The command fell on Lieutenant
Heidt, and he led the company j trjghr that simple phrase gives into the

cent.; Jane, 116 per cent. Last month
the firm did the largest business in its
history—2 per cent larger than during
March and June of 188 T combined. The
increase in business for the sCt months
of this year over the first six months of
1897 was 123 per cent., and over the first
six month of 1896 148 per cent.
Mr. Fishel, the senior member of the
firm, said that the greatest increase had
been solely due to the advertisements.
“At no time,” he’said, “have we spent
quite $250 per month; the results have
been far beyond those we expected.
Previous to last January we did not be

PHRASES OF WAR.
Sayings That
will Uve in
Memory.
Savannah, Ga., .Toly 13.—“Have yon
noticed,” said the observant man to
Press representative yesterday, “how
prolific the present war is of historical
phrases?”
The Pressman had to admit that while
he had been repeatedly reminded to
“remember the Maine” he did not recall
at the timar any particular phrase which
he thought would be handed drown
through generations to show how apt
the leaders of this war were at framing
pungent sayings on the spur of the
moment.
“You haven’i?” was the rejoinder.
Why, the air is filled with phrases that
can but live for yean and years. Law
“Following this come the long search
for Cervera’s elusive squadron and
finally Commodore Schley’s exultant
and terribly prophetic words as his ships
blocked the way at Santiago—‘I’ve
caught them and they’ll never get
home.’
"How they did not get home is too re
cent an addition to history to require
even a reference here. It is enough to
recall Lieutenant Commander Wain-
wright’s words as he stood on the bridge
of the Gloucester as the last of the
Spanish ships went down and remarked
quietly, ‘The Maine is avenged.’
“In a different mood was Commodore
Schley’s cherry comment, called np to
Captain Philip from the former’s gig i
‘It was a nice fight, Jack, wasn’t it?’
“Different again, and better, many
will find, in the face of the Spanish
tragedy and the miraculous escape of
the American ships from injury, was
Captain Philip’s solemn comment as
his battleship came oat of the thick at
the fight: 'I want to make public ac
knowledgement here that I believe in
God the Father Almighty.’ ”
“At phrase making,” the thoughtful
man said as i
