The work you have accomplished may well anneal to the pride ot your coun trymen and has been rivalled upon fewJ occasions. In the world's history.

Holding in your vice- like grip the army opposed to yon, afc ter 17 days of battle and siege, you were rewarded by the surrender of nearly 24,000 prisoners, 12,000 being those Tn your immediate front, and others scattered in the various towns of eastern Ofuba, freerng completely the eastern part ef the island from Span ish troops. 'This was not done without great sacrifices.

Major General." 39 NEW CASES OF FEVER. By Telegraph to The Times-Visitor. Washington, July 25. A dispatch re ceived last night by Adjutant Genera Corbin, says that S96 new cases of fever of all classes were reported in General Shafter s camp before Santiago yester day. As the same dispatch reports only feur deaths, and none of them from yellow fever, from among the hundreds of cases of fever known to exist in the camp, the war authorities are more than ever inclined to the belief that the cases of yellow fever are of mild tpye, Previous dispatches from General Shafter and the medical offices of his corps have indicated the existence in the camp of a very larfje number of cases of malarial and dengue fever, the latter being peculiar to the Cuban climate. Some clear cases of yellow fever are reported, but the officials say they are few as compared with those of other fevers. General Shafter's dispatch, as made public by Adjutant "General Corbm, follows: "Santiago, via Hayti, July 24 "Adjutant General United States Anvy .Washington: The number of new cases of fever of all classes for yester day is approximately 396.

The Madrid corres pondent of the Tlmts Bays:JeaceiMr. siepnens, Dut couia not control tt prospects have greatly Improved: during the last 48 hours. The diplomatic ex ploration of Due Almodovar de Rio, the Foreign Minister, has been more prac tical than was supposed, and it is now tolerably certain that the government's efforts are entering a new phase, which may gradually lead to tangible results. "The precise nature of the change is a secret, but there is little doubt that it tends to direct negotiations between Spain and the Unites States, there be ing no inclination to see the mediation of any neutral power. The moment has arrived when America, having reached the parting of the ways, must choose between war with a specific object and an indefinable war of cenquest. "The present pause iri hostilities Is held to prov,e that the United States is reluetant to plunge Into a wider sphere of action, and it may be confidently pre dicted that If direct negotiations are opened without delay, both countries will find their views on the main point the future of Cuba far from irreconcil able. The growing dissensions between the Cuban insurgents and the American authorities are noted here with great sattefatcion, and on all sides I hear it said that 'if we lose Cuba it is better that the island should be annexed rte America, because the traitors would thereby be punished and the enormous Spanish interests in the island would be protected.' "The French embassy at Washington seems the most likely channel for open ing negotiations; and the semi-official statement that America Intends to re tain Porto Rico is regarded here as a . h "There is still much talk about Carlist intrigues and preparations, but the gov erhirie'nt though vigilant and ready to act energetically, if necessary, seems to think that at present there is no serious danger of untoward developments.

The project of presenting him with an address of confidence signed Dy wu.uuu oi nis au miring fellow citizens has been in definitely postponed." PREPARING FOtt THE BLOW. Spain May Hxpect the Loss of Cuba. and Porto Klco, ana --ueveiupmenis at Manila. London. July 25. No news has been received in London as to any special disorders in Spain. A dispatch from Madrind says that the cabinet yester dav (Sunday) discussed the question of censorship, and decided to continue to enforce the regulations. Th leading naners threaten to cease publication unless the censorship is removed, but it is doubtful that they will carry the threat Into execution. The press is pre oaring all classes for the loss of Cuba and Porto Rico, and for developments at Manila.

This afternoon about 2:39 o'clock as the Hlllsboro trolley car was leaving the Fair Grounds for the city a mule hitched to a wagon tooE fright and ran paway. In the wagon was the owner, Mr. W. F. Stephens, and an old dar- ey, Reuben Farrier, who was thrown to the ground and his head was badly gashed. A deep cut about an inch and half long Immediately above his left eye, giying cause for serious alarm. Farrier was brought to the city on the car and . his wounds dressed by Dr. Rogers. The Street Car Company's employees did not see the accident until after the car had passed some distance beyond the scene. Farrier had been warned by mule. He is resting quietly as we go to press, and will probably be able to at tend to his work again In a few weeks. THOSE WHO ARE EXEMPT. All Official Business Telegrams Go Over Wirtfs Without Tax. There has been some little discussion recently as to whether county and city officials can send telegrams on official business without the war revenue stamp attached. Today Mr. W. J. Crews, manager of the Postal Telegraph office in this city, received the following decision on that question: The Commissioner of Internal Reve nue has decided that telegrams signed by State, county or municipal officers. strictly upon the business of the State, county or municipality, and also such official messages in answer thereto, sent 'Collect,' are exempt from fhe stamp tax.

One week yet remains before the an nual bombardment under the personal irection of Col. Tobe Marshall who for fourteen years has been In the service of the city and has defended Raleigh from the ever increasing number of un licensed dogs. There are hundreds of dogs, bird dogs, pet d''gs, bull dogs and all sorts f dogs in Raleigh, and though three- fourths of the time allowed for obtain- ng license has passed and only five days mere remain in which to pay the tax, only forty dogs have the bright brass tags to wear.

Only Three Cases Brought Over From Saturday Night. The usual Monday morning Mayor's court had only three cases to entertain the jury, and these were all that were eft over from Saturday's "drunks and downs." Ralph Ray (colored), was the first offender presented before the Mayor. Ralph had sufficiently recovered from disorderly drunk to be repentant. but was fined $3.25. Sim Cooper and Sa mWorth had a high old time together but went for enogh to get caught. The charge was disorderly conduct and the penalty $3.25 each. Ed. Emery, white, was fined $7.25 for assault and battery. RIDING ON SIDEWALKS. The Law Plain on the Subject and Will be Enforced. Recently there have been many com plaints made to the Chief of Police rel ative to the cyclists breaking the city ordinances by riding on the sidewalks and at night without lanterns. In the Mayor's court an offender was arraigned and was fined $3.25. The po lice force have been notified that th law must be upheld and this ordinance strictly enforced. At the request of the city authorities the Times-Visitor re produces the ordinance regulating bi cycling In this city: Section Id, chapter II of the revised ordinances says: "Any person who shall place, roll or drive on the sidewalk of any public street any wheelbarrow hand-carriage, bicycle or other vehicle, except in passing directly across the sidewalk.into or out of a house or lo shall be fined five dollars for each of fensc; and each bicycle shall carry light at night." Section 17 provides that any person who shall ride a bicycle in any public street at a greater speed than six miles per hour, or in a reckless manner shall be fined five dollars for each offence. The majority of those who have com plained lo the police are women, and it is said that the majority of those who pay no attention to the city1 ordinance are also women. The law will be en forced and of the next offender the Mayor should make an example. . f LOCAL NEWS ITEMS. Dusty Travelers From Dusty Traius SHORT 8TATKMENTS.
