There is now no doubt that there is yel low fever at Tampa, but the department feels perfectly able to cope with it. It is admitted in the surgeon general’s office that there are a few mild cases in Tampa. The war department, however, is anxious to keep the knowledge of the fever from the public for fear of unduly exciting the families of the soldiers. An assistant surgeon told me this morn ing that there was no doubt of the exist ence of the fever in Tampa, but that the reports of the surgeons showed it to be of a very mild type, and the department had no doubt that the surgeons would be able _to cope with it. Two regiments from Tampa have al ready arrived in Fernandina, which has resulted in a protest from that city. After asking for troops all tije spring, Fernan dina has suddenly taken up the notion that it does not want a camp. The ’ pro test will have no effect, however, and all the troops at Tampa will be moved to the former place as rapidly as possible. His Business Instinct. One of the brightest traveling salesmen in modern commerce was thinking seri ously of going to war, says the Detroit Free Press. “You see,” he was saying to the old mil itary man whose stories of adventure and achievement had kindled his ambition, “I have had experience in every branch of trade that amounts to very much, except fighting- “I have sold nails, barbed wire, cigars i ■dry goods, paints, oils and a number of things. Now, it strikes me that I’d like to handle lead for the government a while.” “You would have to undergo a good many hardships,” remarked his friend. “I don’t care. I’m not married); nobody but myself to think about, and I’d like to see if I can’t do something. Os course, I may never be heard from, but I’m willing to take my chances at getting a monument some day with the rest of them.” “Os Course, you would want to go as an officer,” remarked the old military man. “I’d like to, but if I found it couldn’t be arranged, I wouldn’t stay away on that account.” “Young man, I like your spirit. Any thing I can do for you I will gladly under take. I’ll see if it can be arranged for you to have a commission.” I, The salesman looked startled. “No,” he exclaimed, “don’t do that. Os course, I don’t like to seem mercenary, but I don’t want to do anything on that basis. I have tried it over and over, but I never got any satisfaction out of working on commission. Give me a salary avey time.” The Santiago Campaign. As a military campaign it will have to be judged later on by the military authori ties With all the facts before them. The practical effect of the surrender of Santiago is to give up possession of the eastern part of the island. With Spain defenseless on the sea and half of Cuba in our grip, we have, reason to congratulate ourselves on having done some very quick and effective work.—Memphis Commercial-Appeal- Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. MUST RESTRAIN CUBANS. An Open Rupture May Occur Between Them and the Americans- Washington, July 20—War depart ment officials feel that they are fully justified in their decision to retain practically all of Shafter’s army at Santiago bv the press reports that reached them today indicating the growth <4 wriou* friction between the American forms and the Cuban troops growing out of toe latter’* excitisicn from Santiago by General Shafter’s orders. It is felt new that the garrison orig inally proposed, two immune regi ments, would have been quite insuffi* cient to meet an outside Spanish force that might come from Holguin or Manzanillo and also to restrain the rapacity of the Cubans. It is realized that the present situation is full of difficulties and the future is dark, ow ing to the disposition evinced by the Cubans to ignore, or refuse to.be bound by the amenities of modern warfare. Tins first symptom of friction has suggested to the officials innumerable difficulties that will arise in the future. Os course it would seem to be only politic now to avoid any open rupture with the Cubans provided they can be kept in leash and not involve the United States in the disgrace that would follow the sacking of helpless communities, but it begins to appear that for to come and even after the conquest of Cuba is complete, the United States will have to main tain there a military government in order to meet the responsibilities which it has assumed to the civilized world. Admiral Sampson has received final orders from the navy department as to the part the American fleet is to take in (he campaign against Porto Rico. They are based on the view that the campaign is essentially an army movement, the duties of the navy being to lend every support and assistance to the laud operations. The admiral is instructed to aid the army movements by dispatching convoys when required and by covering the landing of troops . As there is no Spanish fleet in San Juan barber or other Porto Rican ports the navy has a limited field of operation. The re duction of the harbor fortifications will be the main work, but this and all other operations of the fleet will be supplementary to the main operations conducted by the army. The strate gists, military and naval, are agreed in the view that the taking of Porto Rico is primarily a military undertak ing, and Admiral Sampson’s orders are on these lines. The navy department is rapidly moving ‘he lai go fleet of auxiliary cruisers, made up of merchant ships, large ocean going yachts, tugs, etq., from Atlantic coast points to Cuban waters, where they will be placed on blockade duty, thus releasing tbe large ships for more active duty at. Porto Rico and tbe coast of Spain. Three of these smaller crafts were sent south today, and most of them wibbe on the way within a week, stopping only long enough at Norfolk to have their batteries strengthened.

Important to Depositors. Congressman Fleming seems always to have his eyes open to the interests of the people and the public convenience* and has secured a ruling from the revenue de partment on one point in the tax act that will prove of widespread importance and benefit. In a letter to his brother, who is presi dent of the Commercial bank in this city, Congressman Fleming sends the ruling referred to, and it will be received with pleasure not only by |he banks here but elsewhere, and by tbe army of depositor* who are worried at having to affix a stamp every time they desire to draw a few dol lars ou t of bank for their-own use. Here is the ruling by the department: “If a bank takes money on deposit, and pays it out in partial payments to a de positor upon his signing a receipt for each payment such receipt (containing no words constituting ap order for the pay-1 ment of money) doesnot require a stamp under the act.” The effect of this ruling is to enable de positors to go to bank and Sign a receipt for any pum they desire paid over to them from their deposit account and be relieved of the necessity of stamping the receipt. This does not refer of course to checks issued to a third party. These are negotiable papers and must be stamped., Let us illustrate. Suppose A. has money in bank and owes a number oh small ac counts that he is accustomed to pay on a certain day in each month. If he pays off Tom, Dick and Harry with checks when they come in to present their accounts he must put a stamp upon each check. If, however, he steps over to the bank and draws out a sufficient sum from his depos it to settle all these accounts he can give the bank a receipt tor the sum, without a stamp on it, and carry the money to his office where he can pay the accounts of Tom, Dick and Harry in cash. The value of the ruling depends upon the number of checks to be issued, and whether the depositor would rather walk to the bank for the money or affix the stamps on checks. Also when a man goes to bank to draw out a little money for his own use instead of a check for the amount and affixing a stamp he simply fills out a printed receipt for the sum he desires (all the banks will provide these blank receipts for their customers) and hands that to the teller instead of a check, pockets his money and goes his way without being bothered about a revenue stamp. This is an important ruling, and Con gressman Fleming will receive the thanks of many people who were contemplating drawing their money out of bank to keep from having to put on a stamp every time they wanted to check out a few dollars.— Augusta Chronicle. Recruit* Hard to Get Lieutenant Brock, of the Third Georgia regiment, who has just returned to Griffin from a recruiting tour, was seen by a News reporter last night With him were five recruits whom he had enlisted on his tour. “Those fellows,” he said, “are all I suc ceeded in enlisting in two weeks. I have been all over North Georgia, but I was unable to secure any more. All patriotism seems to have died out. The people have heard stories of the hardships which the men in camp have to endure and many said to me that they would enlist but for that reason.* “I have enlisted twenty men in all, but it is very doubtful whether I will get any more. When I left camp there were near ly 500 men there but I do not think that the number has increased much since I left. “I was at Chickamauga yesterday and over one thousand men were in the hos pital. About fifty have died at Chicka mauga since the camp was established there and many more will die if they are not moved soon. The menjiave no water Jto drink except creek water and they go in bathing above the place where they get their drinking water. " “While I was there I learned that some of the troops had orders to move at once and the men were busy packing up. The railroads had many cars at thecamp and are ready to move the regiments as soon as they can get londed.” This statement of Lieutenant Brock shows that about all the men who care to go to the front have been enlisted and that it will be a hard matter to enlist enough men to fill out the Third Georgia regiment. —Macon News.

Good results are expected to fol low this humane treatment alter the pris oners are landed in Spain and tell the people how well they were served by the American “pigs.” Each prisoner will re ceive rations amounting to about three and a half pounds a day.

The Spanish officers will have the option of using the soap or not using it.
