Aa an explanation of the situation, the
trilowlng letror from Colonel Theodore

landed by tbe latter to the correspond -

'Major General Shafter:
"Blr~ln a meeting of the general and
nedical officers, called by you at the
talace this iflornlng. we were all as you
tnown. unanimous In vfew of what

lommandlng n division or a brigade, will
limply Involve the destruction of thou-

qrtiere I oommand one of the two br -
and not one true case of yellow
fiver has occurred In his division, ex-
cept among the men sent to the hospital
it Slboiwy, where they have. I believe,
fontracted it. But In this division there
nave been 1.500 cases of malarial fever.
Wot a man has died from It. but the
irhohe command Is so weakened and
ihattered as to be ripe for dying like rot-
ien sheep when a real yellow fever epi-
lemlc Instead of a fake epidemic like the
present strikes us. It Is oound to If we
itay here at tne height of the sickness
lesson. August and the beginning of S'-p-
:ember. Quarantine against malarial fe-
ter is much like «iulnlning against the
•.oothrache. All of us are certain, as soon
aft the authorities at Washington fully
appreciate the condition of the army, to
be sent home. If we are kept here If!
will. In all human possibility, mean an j
tpppalllng disaster, for the surgeons here
now estimate that half of the cavalry, if
kept here during the sit k season, will
Ale. This Is not only terrible from the
standpoint of the Individual lives lost.
&Ut It mean* ruin from the standpoint of j
the military efficiency ..f the flower of j
the American army, for the ur- at bulk
Of the regulars are here with you. Th-

than the coast, as 1 have found by actual

COLONEL ROOSEVELT S
ROUGH RIDERS.
MEET UP WITH A CLOUDBURST
AND DISBURSES.
Tampa. Fla., Auk. 4.—The detached
troops of Roosevelt's Rough Riders,
camped near here, were driven out of
camp, routed and dlsi>erse«i by a cloud-
burst Just after the bugle sounded retreat
this evening. Th*> deluge was terrific
whll It lasted. Five or six Inches of wa-
ter In their tents was more than the boys
could stand and when the downpour
ceased they turned loose and the camp
resounded with western whoops and
yells. All camp fires were extinguished
and the troop cook's tents wore wrecked,
so that the cavalry men £ound them-
selves aupperless as well as bedlcss. The
commanding officer gave permission to
go anywhere for the night. Those In
funds and those whose chums were In
funds, quickly headed for Tampa, while
those are* broke bivouacked in a string of
empty cars on the adjacent railway and
soon had big camp fires blazing. A good-
ly number availed themselves of Ma).
Dunns permission to seek shelter In
Tampa.

A Miort MWeteli of tlie Ner-
vier* Observed
Berlin, Aug. 4.—Today's ceremony
was brief and impressive as regards
court display, but quite disappointing
In other respects. It bore traces of
haste and half-heartedness. The
church was Inadequately decorated
and the public display no enthusiasm
in the coremonial, which sa far from
having the exceptional character ot
greait national mourning for a nation's
greatest statesman differed hardly any
from hundreds of similar functions
that may be witnessed here at any
time.
A DISAPPOINTING FEATURE.
Perhaps the most disappointing fea-
ture, though it was known beforehand,
was the fact that not a single member
of the Bismarck family attended. The
royal pew, set apart for their accom-
modation, remained conspicuously and
significantly empty, it must be admit-
ted that the deceased statesman was
not altogether popular with the masses
in Berlin, but on such an occasion this
alone could hardly account for the
sparseness and nondescript character.
The bitterness of the old chancellor to-
ward the young kaiser seems to reach
beyond death.
Today's incident was emphasized by
the fact that Prince Herbert came to
Berlin during the afternoon on private
business.
THE SERVICES WERE SIMPLE.
The proceedings were characterized by
the utmost simplicity, but the emperor'-*
invitations in the official world were lib-
erally responded to, many of the lead-
ing men coming from distant places for
sole purpose of being present. The em-
peror and empress arrived by train at
Charlottenburg and drove to the church
in an open landau, drawn by four horses
with postillions, preceded by outriders
and escorted by two squadrons of cuisis-
seurs. Shortly after the service they left
for Wilhelmshohe. Among th-- royal per-
tonages present at tho service were
Prince and Princess Friedrich Leopold <-f
Prussia. Princess Joaotn Albrocht and
Freidrlch Wllhelm of Prussia of Schlos-
wlg-Holsteln, the hereditary prince of
Hohenzollern. Prince Carl of Hohen-
zoller, the hereditary of Henlohe.
The klnjrs and federal princes of the
empire were not there In person, but
onlyby representatives. Prince llonry of
Prussia was represented by Count von
Sackendorff.
THIS COUNTRY REPRESENTED.
The American ambassador. Mr. An-
drew I>. White, and the Spanish ambas-
sa. Senor Mendez De Vigo, arrived al-
most together and sat side by side. The
absence of all well known adherents of
the Blsmarcks was most noted, especially
as many of them came up to Berlin Im-
mediately after the death, presumably to
confer on the attitude they would ob-
serve. Their majestys took seats In two
arm chairs In front of the altar, all oth-
ers In the congregation standing through-
out the service.
SOME OF THE FEATURES.
The emperor wore the uniform of the
footguards and the empress was in sim-
ple mourning attire On entering. Em-
peror William si. >k hands with Prince
Hohenlohe. The or-.<n wis playing Be-
thowns "Funeral marth" their majes-
tys took their -a'-; bat the music wx>n

man oh' mJ, piay.<i very #oftly like the
sound of :: uhllds v -v. singing t*> Its If.
Then the choir -sang KendaJs "i know
that my redeemer llveth," after which
l>r. F'iiber advanced and. facing (he con-
grega<Jon, read the ^- ntences of the Ger-
man burial service: "Blessed are the
dead wirlch dio in :!te Lord." adding n
number of appropriate acripture pass-
ag.-s. iike "For t *iay 4s a prince fallen
In Israel."
After the sloping by a chorus come
"Goit thut <las is. wholgebun," and the
"hymn "Jewus Lett."
A PRAYER <>F GRATITUDE.

TELEGRAMS OF CONDOLENCE TO
BISMARCK FAMILY.
Berlin, Aug. 4.—The text of many tele-
grams «>f condolence addressed to the fam
ily have been published. Queen Victoria
telegraphed as follows;
I beg you to accept this expression of
my sympathy In the greveous loss you
have sustained."
The Prince o£ Wale® tcJeKraphed in
English to Prince Herbert Bismarck from
" Allow me to express thesl nee resit sym-
pathy with you at (t'he loss of your illus-
trious father, and to pray that you ex-
press the same for me. 'to your family.''
The emperor of France Ji>se<pf of Aus-
tria, in tho course of his dispatch said:
"My sympathy Is all the more profound
because this moment awakens with pecu-
liar vlvldnetu my memory of my person-
al relations with the departed. May a
conclousness of the ImpertahaMe nature,
of his name afford you some degree of
comfort In your legitimate and profound
sorrow."
King Humbert, on behnlf of the queen
of Italy and himself, sent In French his
"Most affectionate condolences." snd
added: "The glorious name of Bismarck
will live throughout the centuries en-
shrined Ip admiration and respect."
King Oscar of Sweden and Norway, In
his dispatch says:
"Tho world has seldom seen your fath-
er's like."
The empress Frederick expressed her
"SIncerst sympathy."
Th Emperor of China said: "I recall
with gratitude Prince Bismarck's ser-
vices in promoting friendly relations be-
tween Germany and China."
It now develops that. In reply to the
emperor's telegraphic Inquiry on the first
report of the illness last week. Bismarck,
evidently desirous of keeplntr his majes-
ty In Ignorance of his ral condition, sent
a reply over his own signature to the ef-
fect that he felt better tnan ever.

The Army at Santiago Will Sail For
Montaok Point, L. I.
Washington. August 4.—t'jion t-fing informed of tho formal
rpqin-st made bv the commanding generals ot the American army
at Santiago to have their men removed immediately to the t'nited
States, the War department oftlcials stated tha his request had
been anticipated and that the deiKirtment had been direcing the
best part of its energies to the return of these troops. It has al-
ready provided for their reception an ideal camp at Montiiuk Point
L. I., and orders were sent forward yesterday to begin the home-
ward movement by embarking at Santiago live cavalry regiments
of Shaffer's force, including Koosevelt's Uoiigli Riders. It is the
intention of the department, and (ieneral Shafter was instructed
to so inform the troops publicly, to conduct this movement as
rapidly as the resources of the government will permit, having a
regard for the safety of the men themselves. It was not deemed
possible nor desirable to bring them all here at one time, not only
,'rom the lack of transports, but for medical reasons, the physic-
ians representing that a sudden change in climate would ptobably
kill many of the soldiers who have not passed the convalescent
stage. So it was the purpose to remove to tin- mountains back <>f
Santiago such of the command as eon Id not be embarked immedi-
ately in order to place them in the possible hygenic surrounding*
while they were waiting for their turn to come to go aboard ship,
and now ships will be supplied even more rapidly. So far (Ieneral
Shafter has made no formal report of the meeting which took
place at Santiago resulting in the presentation to him of the re-
quest of the commanding generals.

One Death and Considerable Sickness
Is Reported.
Camp Alger. Vn., August 4.—Reports reached Camp Alger
today that the situation near Manassas is as unsanitary as the old
camp, but it is known whether this report is correct.
One death resulted yesterday from the march from Camp Al-
ger to Hurke's station. Private Hiland. Company l>. Thirty fourth
Michigan was overcome by heat and soon died. The march was a
struggling character, the men continuing to arrive at Burke's sta-
tion until after midnight. The men will remain ai that place unt 1
tomorrow in order to secure rest after yesterday's hard work. The
march was one of difficulty owing to a start in the heat of day and
lack of proper provisions and medical supplies. It is reported that
General Graham has severely reprimanded < ieneral Davis, com-
manding the Second ivision, for the delay of subsistence supplies
and the consequent inconvenience endured by his men.
Nine regiments have left camp for the new rendezvous at
Manassas, some of which have arrived there. The remainder will
get away from their present quarters by Tuesday next. The am-
bulance wagons have had a busy time bringing back to the divis-
ion hospitals at Camp Alger those who were prostrated by the
heat. Seventeen typhoid fever patients were taken to the general
hospital. A general field hospital will be established some where
in the vicinity of Manassas for the treatment of the more severe
cases
The Department Is Net Worried About
the invading Army.
Washington, August 4.—Today also passed without news from
General Miles, and in his case the department feels tint "no
news is good news." It is believed that at the rate of progress he
is reported to have been making in his march across the island,
the general will be at the doors of San .luan by the end of next
week. No very desperate defense of Porti Rico's capital is ex-
pected.
