HOPEFOL Althd® Fever Spreads It Is of Mild Type. 29 CASES; 3 DEATHS Was the Nev Orleans Record Up to 11 O’clock Last Night, PLAGUE MAKING SLOW PROGRESS I Seven New Cases and one Death at Mobile- RIGID QUARANTINE RESTRICTION ■Of Alabama and Mlaslsilppi Are Harting- Atlanta’s Trade—Effort to Have Tbem Changed. • New Orleans, Oct. I.—The fever is spreading to all sections of the city, and the number of eases reported by 9 o’clock this morning was fifteen. The total number of cases for the day is 23 with three deaths. The fever that is developing is of a very mild type, and a great deal of it is in houses where the disease had previously found victims. Among the cases is Rev. Beverley Warner of Trinity Episcopal Church, who is an eastern man, but who came here to be with his congregation. Eight people have been discharged from the detention camp and are ming ling with the community. The yellow .fever hospital has received a number of additional patients in the past few hours. They are being scattered through the building and the health officials are thoroughly fumigating the structure. The people in the neighborhood of the building have concluded that there is no reason why violence should be offered and the health authorities consider that there is no reason to apprehend further incendiarism. Officials of the board of health say that figuring on the situation in lb7B, and the progress of the disease at this time, there is not the remotest possibil ity of an epidemic. Cases are being nu merously reported, now that the people believe there is yellow fever liere, and even if the case is only suspicious the board of health makes a record of it. The board comes in for some criticism for its failure to report deaths promptly. The officials say, however, that their Staff is smaller than it ought to be, that many of the men they employ are in efficient, because they are picked up at random and sometimes prove to be in capable, and that it is not possible com pletely to patrol the wide territory of a - city like this, where everybody is doing his best to beat the quarantine. There is undisguised feeling against the board of health because it is quar antining people. But the board, by ex perience, has shown that it is not far from being right in taking every pre caution. The trouble is, however, that a number of local physicians are with holding diagnosis of cases, not believt g the prevailing fever is yellow jacK. They justify their apparent negligence by the fact that the deaths are few and the cases not increasing. THREE MORE IN EDWARDS. New Ca.e* of Yellow Fever Reported by the State Board of Health. Edwards, Miss., Oct. I.—Dr. Dunn of the state board of health gives the Associated Press the following state ment: Up to 10 a. tn. three new cases have been reported, namely, Mrs. W. R. Ward, Mrs. 8. K. Hewes and Dave Brichetto. All of the seriously ill are reported as having spent a good night.

A Dromgoole, who has had charge of the cordon around the town, has taken the fever. The doctors in charge will miss him, as he took all that part of the work and worry off of their hands , The one case of black vomit reported Thursday night, is doing nicely, as are •overal others who have had it.

I.—Everything is comparatively quiet in this town. There have been no new cases of yoilow fever reported and the sick are reported as getting on very well. Quite a num ber of citizens and college students boarded the special train at Mcßaven’s for St. Louis.

They had to turn back and make a long trip around and come up on the opposite side and arrived just in time to catch the train. Gnlf Freight Route Cloned. San Francisco, Oct.

I.—The correspondent here of the Associated Press has iuves tigated the report printed in New York from this pity, via Key West, saying that Captain General Weyler had sent his resignation to Madrid to take effect as soon as practicable, and has been in formed in the best sources available that, up to the present moment, the captain general of Cuba has not re sign ed. A dispatch from Madrid says: The Liberals gave an ovation to Senor Sa gasta, their leader, on his arrival here. It is taken for granted that- he will form a cabinet, of which probably Se nor Gamazo will be minister for foreign affairs.

Berlin, Oct. 1. —The officials of the United States embassy, and of the I United States consulate here, say there is no truth in the story concerning a dispatch from Berlin to the London Daily Chronicle, saying that President McKinley has instructed the new United States consul general at Berlin (in the absence of Ambassador White, who has been spending a fortnight at Herinsdorf). to give an opinion as to the alteration of the Samoan treaty, and it is believed that the United States in tended to invite a conference on the subject. It is added that Germany is certain to object strenuously to any weakening of her hold on Samoa and that the com plete cession of the group of islands to Great Britain would meet with far more support in Berlin than would American occupation of the islands. The Vossische. Ze.tung expresses the opinion that Samoa ought to become German, as two-thirds of the land is owned by Germans. The Vossische Zeitung also says: “The existing treaty must be abol ished and order re-established.’* The other newspapers express similar views on the subject. CABINET TALKS OF CUBA. Woodford Said to Cable to Washington. Washington, Oct. J. The cabinet meeting was devoted almost entirely to the consideration of the Spanish situa tion and Cuban affairs. It was one of the longest meetings held since the ad vent of the McKinley administration, lasting over two and a half hours. The main subject of consideration was the present cabinet crisis in Spain and its effect on our relations with the Madrid government and our future policy to ward Cuba. It is said an important cable has been received from United States Minister Woodford and that this formed the ba sis of discussion. The members of the cabinet are extremely reticent, as they always are when matters of grave im portance are before them, but one of them said the discussion did not event uate anything definite and that no ac tion would follow. - Pope’s Health Is 14>or.

When this blow reaches the solar plexis of the case, all seamoid, phalanges, temporals and other anatom ical exhibits will be knocked out of con sideration for the time being. It is now asserted that, the prosecu tion will produce upon the witness stand three of the women whom wit nesses have identified as Mrs. Luetgert. One of these is the woman who was seen by witnesses in Kenosha, Wis., on May 5. She is now in Kenosha, and is being watched constantly by a detec tive. This is the woman who left one of her slippers in the Kenosha police station. She was described by several wit nesses who saw her at the Northwest ern station at Kenosha and at two of the leading hotels of that town, and who identified her by the photograph of Mrs. Luetgert.

The production of the women who have been identified as Mrs. Luetgert will follow the close of the evidence of the defense, and will be in the nature of rebuttal evidence. PEARY FOUND NO PROOFS. Say, Ha Did Not Dlaonver Sign, of Caaal balls in at < ape Sabina. New York, Oct. I. The Herald prints an interview with Lieutenant Peary, in which he says: “I found no evidences of cannibalism at Camp Clay, on Cape Sabine. I have said this repeatedly. I did not look for proof or indications, or evidence or any thing which would again open this ter rible episode of arctic adventure. I did not go to Cape Sabine to obtain proof that the men with Greely bad their nat ural feelings overcome by the agonies of starvation. “It seems to me, however, that this talk of cannibalism is unnecessarily re vived. I think 15 has been conceded that the tragedy of Cape Sabine forced the men into conditions which could not have existed under other circum stances. It seems to ine that the viola tions of the laws of nature would be excused which would compel the living to perish when their existence might have been sustained by the ‘food’ which was put before them. It would, it seems to me, be only a matter for the individual to decide—whether he would partake of the dead or die. “It would be different if lots were drawn and the unfortunate being made tbe victim to the lust or appetite of his living murderers. Nothing of that sort has been evan imagined of the tragedy of Cape Sabine. The living, in order to sustain life, may have been tempted— in fact, I believe it was decided that thhy had preserved their lives in this maimer. But as for taking any part in any ghoulish search, that I did not, nor will I do so.” M u ii ur •<!» n de redllumal es«. Chicago, Oct.

The remarkable race for the pennant between Boston and Baltimore has kept at fever heat not only in the citiesin the cir cuit but in every section of the Uaited States it has been a topic of absorbing interest.

I.—A very ingenious and valuable contrivance for the saving of life, by prevention of railroad acci dents through forgetfulness of train men, has been invented. The machine has just stood a very severe test on the Great Northern railroad, after having been previously operated euooeeefaliy on the St. Paul and Duluth road. Prac tical railroad men in this section have given strong indorsements to the device after seeing its work. The object of the device is to provide an accurate and reliable reminder sig nal and distance on indicator for loco motives, by means of which engineers are prevented from forgetting their train orders as to stopping or meeting points. The mechanism is simple but positively connected with the forward trucks of the engine, there being an ac curate measuring of the diistauce trav eled, the dial, placed in front of the en gine, showing correctly the distance traveled. Above the dial are placed 15 triggers, or dogs, pivoted at equally dis tant points around the center. When the engineer receives his or ders he sets one or .more of these trig gers to a*poiut 1 mile short of the dis tance to be traveled before reaching the stopping place. Then the mileage indicator, on reaching such a point, re leases the trigger, which starts the sig nal whistle blowing. This continues >to blow for a quarter of a mile, promptly warning the engineer of the near ap proach to the stopping place. If the engineer is inattentive and fails to stop when the last mile is run over, the ma chine is worked by airbreaks stop the train for him. A train similarly equip ped, coming in the opposite direction, would be stopped in the same manner and a collision prevented. The device can be made to run for ward or backward. For foggy or stormy weather, or for dark nights, the device is considered especially valuable for ordinary road use, although its life saving feature was the point first sought for. Robbery Victims In 'Frisco. San Francisco, Oct. I.—Five of ths passengers of the stage coach which was robbed near Hilton Thursday, have arrived in this city. They are Clarence Ackerman, A.
