YELLOW FEVER
Has Srokan Out Among Ray's
Imnnlnes.
CAUGHT FROM SPANISH-
Heavy Mortality Reported
Among Prisoners.
Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 12.
—Sunday was observed yester
day for the first time since the
war terminated, as a day of rest
and worship. All the military
and civil offices were closed, as
were also the ships, and the
city’s appearance was unusually
quiet. Religious services were
held at the palace, and General
Lawton, General Wood and
other American officers attend
ed.
This afternoon the correspon
ent of the Associated Press vis
ited the wrecks of the Spanish
cruisers. The work of floating
the Infanta Maria Teresa is
nearly complete, but the Almir
ante Oquendo is not worth the
cost of saving.
Col. Ray, who returned from
Guantanamo yesterday, reports
the embarkation of all the Span
iards save about eighty under
Gen. Pareja. The American au
thorities are awaiting the arrival
of the San Juan, with about 2,-
000 Spanish troops from Sagua
de Tanamo, and Baracoa. The
Spaniards will be re embarked
on the San Augustin and the
San Francisco for Spain.
Tomorrow the Bessie and two
other vessels will leave for Bara-
Ik coa and Sagua de Tanamo, car
|F rying supples for the Ameri-
qans, Cubans and Spaniards
there. ‘
The condition of the Spanish
at Guantanamo prior to their
departure for Spain was, Col.
Ray says, most distressing. The
ileath rate was over eighty per
day, and Col. Ray believes that
more than half will die on the
passage. Seventy died on the
wharf the day the San Ignacio
was loaded, and there is yellow
fever among those who remain
behind.
Col. Ray had tw.o mules killed
for fresh meat supplies to the
Spaniards. No fresh beef was to
be had, and the Spaniards were
glad to get the mule meat.
The first battalion of C©l.
Ray’s regiment has contracted
yellow fever from a Spaniard.
Sixty cases have broken out.
Four hundred Cubans have
laid down their arms at Guan
tanamo and gone back to work
on the plantations near the
town.
Santiago is now filled with
Cuban soldiers from Gen. Cas
tillo’s command.
H|S FUN COST MILLIONS.
Leiter Held The Market at One
Time, But it Slipped.
Chicago, 111., Sept. 12—Jos
eph Leiter has cleared up his
famous wheat deal. Every cred
itor has been paid, obligations
to banks whose assistance was
enlisted have been canceled and
14,000,000 bushels of wheat
have been liquidated since the
announcement of the voluntary
assignment nearly three months
ago, This has been done only by
great sacrifice, including the
giving of mortgages on property
belonging to the Leiter estate
aggregating nearly $5,500,000
in value. »

American Soldiers in a Cold
Wane.
CAMP MAY BE BROKEN
And the Commands Moved
Away at Once
-
Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point,
L. 1., Sept 12. —The fall of ten
degrees in tne temperature
which was predicted by the sig
nal service came last night, and
before midnight the whole camp
was shivering. The cold wave
was accompanied by a high
wind and for several hours du
ring the night there seemed to
be some danger that many of
the tents were blown down.
Up to noon today there • was
not much sunshine and the raw
air was felt keenly by the sol
diers who have spent several
months in the tropict. However,
bright sunshine prevailed all the
afternoon and a gentle breeze
blew from the sea.
1 he transport Saratoga arriv
ed from Santiago this morning
with about Biqty members of the
signal corps in commane of.
Lieut. Col. Fraffk Green, Haif
of them were uolunteers from
Maine, under Lieut. Col. G. C-
Burnell.
The Saratoga also brought
250 negro laborers, who were
sent to Santiago ’several months
ago to act as teamsters, drivers,
stevedors, etc. Two of the ne
-roes died of molarial fever on <
the voyage.
Twelve men were sick when
the steamer reached here and
were taken to the detention hos
pital. The members of the sig
nal corps aboard were taten to
the eetention camp, but the ne
groes were not permitted to
land here. The Sartoga will be
fumigated and will then go to
New York., where tho negroes
wilLland, CoL Roosevelt ex
pects to ha v e his regiment of
rough riders mustered out on
Thursday and the men will then
leave camp and go to their
homes. The officers and men of
the regiment are preparing for
the mustering out of the regi-
ment.
The general belief in camp
, Wikog today is that general
changes will be seen here before
the present week 13 over. Re
, ports are Circulating freely that
Gen. Miles has assumed the ac
tive direction of the afiairs of
the camp, and that he intends
to have all regular troops moved
from here as soon as possible
and snt to regular army posts,
where they can',live in regular
army barracks and be more
comfortsble in every way than
they can be living in tents on
the Eastern end of Long Island,
for when the weather becomes
much coieer than it is now the
troops will undoubtedly suffer
here.
Gen. Bates, who is new in
command of Camp Wikoff, ad
mitted today that new orders
had been received from Wash
ington in regard to the disposi
tion of the soldiers here and the
general understanding is that
they will oh moved away as rap
idly as possible.
