The East Lake fire company was soon on hand, but not before the adjoining residence of Win. Eddy was in flames. The Con gregational church and the dwelling of Frank Wilson, being in line with the strong wind, were all consumed by the flames.

Loud and long complaint is being made by the boys of the 32d Michigan regiment at Tampa that their camp is a veritable pest-hole on account of continuous rains, even the tents being filled with water and the men having to sleep in hammocks. The camp has been condemned by the surgeons. There are many cases of malarial and some of typhoid fever. The protest at last bore fruit and the 32d regiment was ordered to Fernandina, Fla., 250 miles northeast of Tampa, where there is an excellent beach and good sanitary conditions. Five other regiments and the 14th artillery corps were ordered to move at the same time. THE WAR SITUATION. Col William Jennings Kryan's regi ment of Nebraska infantry has been ordered to join Gen.

Spanish deserters from Guantanamo say their soldiers there are absolutely starving and would surrender but for the fear of being murdered by the Americans, as their ofileers tell them they would be'. Many of the wounded soldiers who have been brought back from Santiago say the Spaniards used poisoned and explosive bullets, and deliberately fired upon the hospital tents and the Red Cross workers, killing the wounded and nurses. The navy department is anxious that Commodore Watson's squadron should reach the Mediterranean as soon as pos sible even if peace is declared, as he could then hasten to reinforce Dewey and give us a squadron there capable of meeting any emergency. So complete has become the con fidence in the exemption of our ports from attack by hostile vessels that the government in responso to pressure of communicated interests, has 'ordered all mines planted in our harbors to be removed. They will be exploded as the easiest method of removing them Madrid newspapers announce that they have withdrawn their correspond ents from Havana because Gen. Klanco's censor permitted them to send only such dispatches as he thought would reflect credit on the Spanish cause on the Island. The papers do not want to share the responsibility of proclaiming Spanish victories and other false and absurd news, which will later be demon strated to the people as absolutely untrue, as Madrid papers have been compelled to do in the last few months. They say they will publish no news rather than false news. Gen. Miles Sailed From Santiago With the Vanguard. 30.000 TROOPS TO FOLLOW. Transports Will Sail as Itapidly as They Can he Loaded Chlckamaugi to I'll rn lli n I. urge Ton e A Short aud Vigorous Campaign Expected. Washington: After three days' con sultation between President McKinley, Secretary Alger and Maj. -Gen. Krooke, during which there was frequent com munication with Gen. Miles at Siboney, the details of the Porto Rican expedi tion were perfected and the expedition itself was gotten under way, Gen. Miles with some artillery and troops sailing from Santiago fir Porto Rico on the auxiliary cruiser Yale, to be fol lowed quickly by an army of about 30,000 men. The same day Gen. Miles sailed from Santiago three regiments of volunteers embarked at Charleston, S. C, for Porto Rico and others will follow from various ports as rapidly as transports can be provided and made ready for the journey. Maj.-Gen. Krooke will be the senior ofiicer in Miles' command and upon him will fall the responsibility for the execution of the details of his superior's plans. The part which the navy is to take in the assault against Porto Rico has been fully matured. The several trans port fleets will have with them one or two auxiliary craft carrying strong secondary batteries. Secretary Long said that no time had been fixed for the departure of Admiral Sampson's fleet for San Juan. As to the naval plans he would only say that they would co-operate in every way with the movements of the army. The movement of the ships from Santiago to their new fields of action will be gin at once, and it is probable that some of Admiral Sampson's ships were detached and proceeded with Gen. Miles' lir.it expedition toward Porto Rico. They will be needed to cover the debarkation of the troops on Porto Rican soil. The others will follow as soon as the full army expedition is ready to make a landing, when the at tack will begin simultaneously from land and sea. The purpose of Secretary Alger is to make the Porto Rican campaign a short one. An overwhelming force will be thrown upon the island, and it is ex pected that the Spanish will soon be come convinced that they have no reas onable chance to resist successfully. The expedition is to comprise 30,000 men at the start, and it will be swelled soon to 40,000 men, and if necessary to 0,000 men, the equipment of the vol unteer forces having now progressed so well as to warrant the statement that that number of men can be ready for service in Porto Rico in a short time. The preparations arc to be more com plete and ample than have ever before been made by an government in any enterprise of a similar nature. Ships and men, hospitals and supplies, doc tors and nurses, ammunition and pro vender, artillery and fittings, ull are to receive such care as to make the en terprise a swift and deadly one for Spanish hopes in the remaining island of the West Indies dominated by Spain. GERMANS INTERFERED When Insurgents Attacked Iola (irande, hut Iewey Taught 'Km a Leason. Manila, via Hong Kong: The insur gents reported that the German gun boat Irene in Subig bay refused to per mit them to attack the Spaniards on Isla Grande. Rear - Admiral Dewey at once dispatched the U. S. cruisers Raleigh and Concord to the scene. On entering Subig bay, the Raleigh opened fire on the forts, whereupon the Irene slipped her cable, leaving her anchor in the bay, and steamed out by the other channel. The result of the fire of the American warship was that the Spaniards, numbering over 500 men, surrendered everything. ' On return ing to Manila the Irene explained that she had interfered "in the cause of humanity." A Hong Kong correspondent says that it is "now known that Admiral Dewey requested the correspondents at Manila not to give the full history of the Irene incident for fear of arousing feeling in America which might lead to complications with Germany" When the full details transpire it will be seen that the incident was more serious than it first appeared to be. (Jen. Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader, declares that both the Spaniards and the Germans have made overtures to him U. S. Consul Wildman, at Hong Kong says Dewey's dispatches show that the Germans continually inter fere, their action causing much anxiety, as they are assisting the Spaniards by landing flour and other supplies, and moreover, that the German otfieers hav been seen in the Spanish trenches. Tin Germans have not been careful to observe the naval courtesies required ry the situation. They have given Admiral Dewey much annoyance by going against his regulations and b' insisting on sendin r their boats around the bay after dark. At the same time the German admiral informed Admiral Dewey that that he has no intention of giving offense to America and that his movements are not to be construed as any demonstration of ill-will. Ad miral Dewey is said to have replied: "Perhaps it would be better if mat ters were arranged a little differently." On the rej o. t that the German fleet was landing large quantities of rice and flour for the Spaniards, the Amer ican admiral decided to be more strict and has put a boat at the end of the jetty to overhaul all launches. The blockade will hereafter be more rigid. Although the attitude of the Germans is irritating, Admiral Dewey if manag ing them with great diplomacy, and he docs not expect any trouble with them. Yellow Fever Among Anierlran Troops. The dreaded yellow fever has found a foothold among the United States forces before Santiago, and while the authorities at Washington and at the front are naturally alarmed they are taking every precaution to stamp it out and prevent its spread and express confidence in their ability to obviate a serious epidemic. The 11 cases which were first discovered in the field hos pital at Siboney were immediately isolated in a hospital which had been established by Dr. John Guitcras, the famous yellow fever expert, for just such an emergency. This hospital is in charge of immune surgeons and nurses. The first 11 cases were all from the quartermaster's department teamsters and others but later cases have ap peared among the troops nearest the coast. All eases are mild, however. As a further precaution the little town of Juraguacito (Siboney), where the field hospital is located, was burned under the orders of the army health authorities. Almost every building of the 50 along the irregular bluff was set fire to during the day and the Cu ban inhabitants fled to the eaves in the overhanging hillside for shelter. The action was taken at the urgent request of the hospital corps, and served to rid the hospital camp of the unhealthy and dirty buildings and drive away scores of Cuban followers whose pres ence was a serious inconvenience to the hospital workers. There are several kinds of fevers in Cuba, all of which are classed gener ally as malaria unless the decided symptoms of yellow jack show them selves. Arm j' medical officers say that in the Cuban climate yellow fever is not necessarily n deadly plague. Indeed they claim that typhoid and malarial fevers are worse; that with proper tents, nurses and medicines, soldiers will go through the fever with little if any loss. "Everything needed to bring that army through all right will be sent." said Secretary Alger. "Large, comfort able tents, plenty of cots, ample extra clothing, nurses, medicine and doctors will he taken down by special ship. Camps will be pitched for different commands upon the highest, airiest land to be -reached. Patients will be segregated. And us fast as a command has been there a certain rj timber of days without developing a case it will be taken off the island and transferred to a more salubrious climate in the United States, where the soldiers can soon recuperate from their terrible exer tions." So far, cases among the troops have been very mild and thej say that yellow fever often runs that way in Cuba. In fact the natives have very little fear of it. Ky the system pro posed by Secretary Alger, with perhaps a further detention station at Dry Tortugas, it is expected that the volunteers will be withdrawn from Santiago without much if any loss and their places taken by the immune regiments. Dewey Fired on the tlermans. A Hong Kong correspondent says: U. S. Consul Wildman informs me that as the German cruiser Irene was passing Mariveles, off Manila, the other day the United States gunboat Hugh McCulloch was sent after her to ask her to stop. As the Irene refused to obey a shell was sent across her bow and a small boat went to discover what she was doing. The German admiral protested and insisted that German ships had a right to enter the harbor without being searched, a claim which Admiral Dewey declined to recognize. It is reported that Admiral von Diedrichs, who is in command of the German squadron at Manila, interviewed Capt. Chichester of the Kritish cruiser Immortalite as to what he would do if the Germans interfered with the bombardment of Manila. Capt. Chichester replied that only Ad miral Dewey and himself knew that.
