Oame Into World Liko Oassar. Operation Successfully Performed In Two Minutes and a Hall and Mother and Youngster All Right. Records in surgery were broken yesterday when the Caesarian oper ation was successfully performed in two minutes and a half. Within a minute after liis birth the youngster who came into the world in the same way as did Julius Caesar was screaming at the top of his voice. He and his mother are in excellent condition. The cases where parent and offspring have both survived can almost be counted upon the fingers. This operation was performed in the sanitarium of Dr. Alfred C. Carpenter, at No. 219 East Nine teenth street. The subject was Mrs. Anna Miller, of No. 120 East Thirtyfourth street. Until recently only five per cent of the mothers and two per cent of the children survived the operation. That the operation yesterday was so successful was due in a measure to the sound health of the patient. She is twenty-one years old. Her weight is 118 pounds. She is Strong and muscular. • There were present a score of physicians, several of whom had come from distant parts of the coun try to witness the operation. Es pecial attention was given to the preparation of the antiseptics. It is owing to the use of antiseptics that operations such as that of yes terday are possible without result ing fatally. Dr. Carpenter was assist ed by Drs. E. W. Williams, J. C. Emmons and E. F. Smith. —N. Y. Herald June 24. Dr. Smith mentioned above is Dr. Edward F. Smith formerly of Bloomsburg. He is building up a large practice in New York, and enjoys a high reputation as a phy sician and surgeon. He is a mem ber of a board of examiners for the preparation of candidates for the Medical Corps of the Army, Navy, and Marine Hospital, and is a member of the Faculty of the New York Preparatory School, occupy ing the chair of physiology and hygiene. He has also held several positions in hospitals where the ap pointment was secured by competi tive examinations.

SPAIN FAVORABLE TO PEACE Decision of the Cabinet Was Reached Late Last Night A Unanimous Decision The New York Sun's cable dispatch this morning says under date of Ma- Jrld, July 20, 2 a. m.: "The council has unanimously agreed to seek peace. The responsibility for :apltulatlon is left \o Captain General Blanco and General Toral solely. "It is significant that the censorship raised no objection to the dispatch an lounclng that the cabinet had decided !o seek peace." THE FEVER AT TAMPA. Camp 1. to Re Removed alt Once to For nandlna. Washington, D. C., July 20.—The au thorities at Washington are alarmed at the prospect of a yellow fever scourge. Despite the best endeavors of the marine hospital service the disease has worked Its way Into this country and according to reports received here has a strong foothold at Tampa. Yellow fe ver has been discovered among the troops at that place or In such close proximity to them that It Is believed wine of the men are Infected. So serious Is the situation at Tampa regarded that the department has ls lued orders to abandon the camp at that place. As soon as the troops that have been selected for Santiago leave Tampa the balance of the regiments there will be rushed to Fernandlna. The fact that the government Is to locate these men at Fernandlna leads to the belief that they are to be perma nently quarantined there. That port was some weeks ago decided to be un luited for a general rendezvous, be :ause of the poor facilities for em barking troops. The channel Is very uncertain, owing to a shifting sand bar, and the special board appointed to txamine Fernandlna reported that it would be unwise to quarter the men there. It has always been admitted, howev ir .that Fernandlna Is specially well tdapted for quarantining troops owing :o the fact that It Is located on a strip jf projecting land which Is connected with the main coast by a single rail road. Ali communication can thus •aslly be cut off. It Is therefore be lieved that the men who are to be ta ken to Fernandlna are to be quaran lined on account of yellow fever among Jiem. The officials have all along contended hat the officers of the marine hospital lervice would be able to prevent yel ow fever from getting Into the country, but they reluctantly admit that once It gets Into the Interior the situation would be very serious. Yellow fever stations have been es tablished at Egmond Bay, near Tam pa, and at an Island near Key West, where it was the intention to confine ill persons infected with the dreaded lisease. It is now said that the pre ;autions against the spread of the fe ver have not been stringent enough. Officers and men who have seen ser vice at Santiago have been arriving In this city every day for the past week. Some have come direct from hospitals it Kev West, while others have been m the hospitals and sick camps at San tiago. If any of these men have been Infected by the germs of the fever ibundant opportunities have been af forded for the spread of the disease. The matter has been called to the at tention of the officers of the marine Hospital service and It Is thought that Kmc very stringent rules will soon be tnforced in regard to the admission of soldiers returning from Santiago. The statement that yellow fever can not be carried Into northern climates s ridiculed by prominent medical men Here. They have records of cases where men hate died away up In the moun lains of Pennsylvania from sleeping on ;he cots used by yellow fever patients, say that once the fever Is In troduced here It will be hard to check Its progress, as the soldiers from the Infected districts are now pretty well scattered throughout the country. A DISPUTE OVER PRIZES. Sen. Shaffer's Refusal to Surrender Cap tured Ships Its the Navy. Santiago de Cuba, July 20.—The ques tion has arisen between the army and lavy officers as to the disposition to be made of the half dozen large SpaiMsh merchant steamers which were harbor of Santiago at the time of the surrender. Rear Admiral Sampson arrived In the pity yesterday on the Vixen, and claim ed that the steamers were prizes of the lavy. He also was desirous of placing brlze crews on board of them. General Shafter, however, refused to recognize Admiral Sampson's claims. He declared that the steamers, with everything else in Santiago had sur rendered to him. The question, ap parently Is still undecided. The rear idmlral returned to hlB flagship wlth >ut having distributed prize crews am jng the merchantmen, and the latter ire still in possession of the army. MANY SOLDIERS POISONED. lit Huh Conked tn Tine and Ptomaine Poisoning Rnmei. Washington, July 20.—Fifty-five men belonging to Company A,Twenty-sec jnd Kansas volunteers, at Camp Alger, were poisoned yesterday by eating hash which had been cooked in a tin vessel that had become corroded. Fif teen of the men are seriously 111 and ire not expected to recover. The hash was eaten at breakfast yes terday morning and those who partook >f it became 111 shortly afterward. The hospital doctors pronounce It to be pto maine poisoning. The names of the men have not been sscertalned. i ... Will Xdt Be Returned. Washington, July 20,—1t 1e authori tatively stated that the surrendered Spanish arms will not ba sent back td ■pain. CAIMANERA GIVES HP FORMAL TRANSFER TOOK PLACE TUESDAY. About 0000 Troops Made Prisoners of War. Yellow Fevei Among Them. The Cubans Get Only Con temp* from Our Soldiers. Camp McCalla, July 20.—A launch from the Marblehead went up the bay yesterday afternoon to Vertcaya del Tora, opposite Calmanera, and gave formal notice to the Spanish comman der of the surrender of General Toral's troops, together with the conditions of the capitulation of Santiago. A lim ited time was fixed for hauling down the Spanish flag over Calmanera. The American officer also gave notice that if the Spanish gunboat Sandoval was disabled In any way, or If any arms, ammunition, public buildings, or bar racks at Calmanera or Guantanamo were destroyed, the Spaniards would not be treated as prisoners of war. The flag was hauled down later In the day. From Spanish sources It Is learned that the total force In Guantanamo and Calmanera Is about 5,000 of which num ber, however, only about 3,000 are fit for service, the others being disabled by sickness or wounds. To-day a formal surrender has taken place. What disposition will be made of the prisoners has not yet been de termined, because of the presence of yellow fever among them. A rigid quarantine will be maintained, and It is probable that transports for the re moval of the prisoners will be sent up the bay and loaded there. Instead of having the prisoners marched down here. Strained Relation. With Cuban Army. A fact which is impressed more and more every day upon the American of ficers and men Is the Increasing strain ed relations between the Americans and General Garcla's Cuban soldiers. In leed the situation has now reached a point where there Is practically no com munication at all between the two ar mies and the relations border on those of hostility rather than the relations one would suppose would exist between Miles. So soon as General Shafter announc ed his decision not to let -the Cuban Junta enter the city of Santiago de Cuba deep mutterings were heard am ong General Garcla's men. It was evi dent the Cubans were greatly disap pointed at the step taken by the Amer ican commander, for they had confi dently counted on having Santiago turned over to them to loot and plun der as they had. In succession, sacked Daiquiri, Siboney and El Caney. Con sequently their disappointment was keen when they ascertained that they were not to be permitted to take pos session of the city upon General To ral's surrender. On Friday last a brother of General Demetrius Castillo went to General Shatter's headquarters In order to ascertain the cause of this order. No Cuban or American Soldier. Allowed to Enter the City. "Why Is Santiago to remain in the hands of our enemies?" he asked. "The Spaniards are not our enemies," replied General Shafter. "We are fight ing the soldiers of Spain, but we have no desire to despoil her citizens. No Cuban will be allowed to enter the city nor will any American soldier. The government of the city Is a matter for the people to decide. When the Amer ican army leaves it I presume It will be turned over to you, but not until then." The correspondent of the Associated Press saw a group of Cubans refuse point blank to aid in building roads, and, during the two days' heavy fight ing, while they were loitering In the rear, our surgeons sought in vain to secure assistance from them, even to cut poles for Improvised litters for our wounded. Hundreds of suoh Instances are be ing told about the camp fires, until the name of Cuban Is usually wreathed with camp profanity and very rarely is a kind word spoken of them. COAST DEFENSES. Are More Effective an Mean, of Protec tion Than Warships. Washington, July 20.—The military and naval experts say that several Im portant lessons In ordnance and forti fications are furnished by the cam paign against Santiago. It lspointed out that the long contentions between the relative merits of land fortifica tions and naval ships as a means of :oast defence have received much light by recent operations. When Admiral Sampsqn was chief jf the ordnance bureau of the navy de partment he held that the most effect ive means of defending coasts was by .means of warships rather than coast defences. It is said, however, the: the Spanish defence of Santiago harbor has demonstrated that coast defences are even more effective than warships. ' The batteries of Morro Castle, So capa and others, aided by the mining and torpedoing of the harbor, were effective In preventing the American fleet from entering the harbor, and this despite the fact that the Spanish guns were in no sense fortification arma ment. It Is said by some of the ex perts that If Morro had possessed the large modern fortification guns such as those protecting New York or Boston. It would have been able not only to have defended Santiago, but to have done serious damage to the attacking Beet. Tax Law Killing. Washington, July 20.—The commis sioner of Jnternal revenue yesterday with the approval of the attorney gen eral. promulgated a ruling to the effect that all documents, certificates, checks, etc., of whatever nature, otherwise tax able, drawn In the transaction of offi cial business, need not be stamped. Certificates and other papers prepared for the use of or at the request of private persons should be stamped. Removing the Mine*. Philadelphia, Pa., July 20.--The work sf removing the submarine mines that, since the middle of April, have formed an important feature of the defences of the Delaware river and bay, was be gun yesterday. The mtaes will not be exploded, but will be taken up, teat id and stored away for future use.
