CRISIS NOW IIIEW US STRONG ANI> BITTER FIGHT BEING MADE ON HEALTH BOARD. FEVER RECORDS BEING BROKEN. JL>octorN Are Lolli to Report Caiea, Giving ntt a Rnnuon That It Cnrtaili Their Practice. Friday was again something of a re cord breaker in New Orleans in the matter of now cases, there being thirty reported. They cropped up in *all directions, but the death record was only three for the day. The fever is rapidly spreading in many directions, but the largest major ity of cases are proving to be of a harmless type. The infectious character of the fever is, however, shown in the fact that there were again numerous instances of new cases in houses where sickness has already existed. The weather is warm and the conditions excellent for new' cases. But the death percentage has fallen considerably below the re cord of 1878. The usual care is not now being taken in diagnosing cases, and it is quite probable that many of the cases that are reported as yellow- fever are the result of hurried examinations by physicians. More cases were reported before 9 o’clock Friday than at any time since the fever has invaded the city. There were fifteen at that hour. The new cases were reported from all sections of the city. Doctors Flavins Trouble A bitter fight is being made on the board of health because it is insisting iu quarantining inmates of houses in which yellow fever exists and those houses which immediately adjoin. Dr. Guiteras expressed the ornnion that it is possible to confine the in fection wdthin the room where the pa tient may he lying so this'has strength ened the fight of the public against these quarantine measures. In spite of the storm of protests, however, -many eminent physicians, and profes sional men are urging the board to continue its present course in quaran tining houses. The crisis is either present now or close at baud, and it is not considered wise to jeopardize the health of the whole community by allowing people in infected houses or living next door to them to go among the members of the community at random. The fever has, of course, not been, declared epidemic and for that reason physicians are disinclined to report yellow fever. A number of doctors state, in a for mal protest, that if their names are re ported in connection with yellow fever canes their practice will be ruined. Nobody would send for them if they have had anything to do with yellow fever cases. CriHix Approaching In Mobile. Newspaper correspondents at Mobile, Ala., are in a quandary. If they tell the truth they are condemned locally as writing against the interests of the city. If they draw it mild outside communities declare they are lying. An attempt has already been made to throttle the press by the prosecution of a local city editor, but it failed, and the case was withdrawn as an ignomi nious and unpopular move. The truth of the matter is that a crisis is approaching in Mobile. The fever has made unexpected leaps and within two days has bi oken out iu two totally unexpected quarters. STRIKE THREATENED IN' CHICAGO. Jrobable Tie-Up of the City’s Street Kail ways. The danger of a tie-up of the lines of the Chicago City Railway Company is not over yet. A mass meeting of street car employes was held Friday and res olutions were unanimously adopted indorsing the organization of a local branch of the Amalgamated Association of Street Car Employes of America. The most important action taken, however, was the giving by secret ballot the power to the executive com mittee of the organization to order a strike without notice to the company. The plan of the executive committee to resent any further dismissal of em ployes was thus ratified, and future action was referred to that committee. THIS QUARANTINE HURTS. Alabama Business JJfen Slake Strong Pro test Against Policy. The freight situation between At lanta, Ga , and Alabama remains un changed, with a little more liberal in terpretation of the quarantine regula tions. There is some prospect of a modifi cation now that the effects of the quar antine are being sorely felt in the bus iness of Alabama. Wednesday morning a strong dele gation from Birmingham went to Montgomery to protest against the rigid quarantine against Atlanta. The .oal and iron people are hard hit by the interruption of traffic. HIGHWAYMEN \t WORK. JTiickcd Mon Hold Up a Bock Inland Paßienger Train. A Rock Island passenger train was hold up Friday teu miles north of Chickasaw, I. TA NARUS., by five masked rob bers. The highwaymen made two attempts to blow up the express safe, but were unsuccessful. The robbers made the passengers get off and line up and secured S2OO or §3OO, besides the reg istered mail. Ten deputy United States marshals started immediately in pursuit. MINERS QUITTING JELLIUO. Operators Expect to Import New Men lor the Mine*. The Chattanooga agent of the Jellieo "'oal Company states that the miners at the Jellieo region are leaving in Troves and that very few of the men •remain. There is none of the Jellieo no ill in Chattanooga and only a few’ of tho small mines are running. The operators expect to import men, but they have had some difficulty in doing ~o heretofore. A lUY OF SUICIDES. Nearly a Score of Unfortunate. In Now York Commit Self-Murder.

TEXT OF WOODFORD’S MESSAGE To Spanish Government as Given Out by the Chicago Times-Herald. A Washington special to the Chicago Times-Herald says: “It is now- possible for the Times- Herald to give, not the exact text of the famous Woodford note to Spain, but a fair statement of its substance. “This now celebrated and much dis cussed document simply expresses on the part of the United States the hope that the war w ill he brought to a close as speedily as possible. “No date is fixed when the consum mation is to he reached, and tlmt the interests of Spain no less than the in terests of the United States, the inter ests of humanity and the interests of the world at large are reasons why the w-ar should end with Iho least possible delay. “And with that in view, acting as a friend of Spain because of the great stake 'Ahieh the United States has in Cuba financially and otherwise Meeause of the aunoyance to which the United States has been put by maintaining a patrol over and preventing the sailing of filibustering expeditions. , “And because civilization opposes war, the United States tenders to Spain its good offices to act as a friend between the mother country and her rebellious colony in the hope that she may be able to effect a settlement and bring the warfare to a close. “This is all there is in the note. There is not the faintest suggestion of this government forcing upon Spain her good offices if she does not care to voluntarily accept them, nor is there an intimation that the war must he brought to an end by a certain time, or that Spain must return her answer to this note by a fixed date.” WEDDEKRL'RN DISBARRED. Famous Patent Attorney of Waghinctoil Declared a Fraud. John Wedderburn & Cos., of Wash ing, D. C., were disbarred Friday from practice before the interior de partment as patent attorneys or agents. The firm is held to have been guilty of “gross fraud and unprofessional conduct.” The postmaster general has been no tified of the finding, which w T as made after a long investigation following complaints of other attorneys who filed o'larges against the firm. Wedderburn for two years has been the most extensively advertised patent attorney in the United States. SOLI) HER HUSBAND. The “Other Woman’’ Buys .John A. Truitt From HU Wife for 94,000 Cash. According to the St. Louis Post tispatch, John A. Truitt, a conductor <ll the Northern Central electric street car line, was sold Friday by his wife for $4,000 to a woman who declared that she loved the man more than his wife did. GREEK CA BIN IT RESIGNS. M. lialli Denounce* Germany For Work ing Againwt Greece. Advices from Athens state that the Greek cabinet has resigned. The Athens correspondent of the London Times says: “M. Ralli, when presenting the chamber the preliminary treaty of peace, took strong exception to its terms, attributing to Germany all that had been done against Greece. “He declared that he would not sub mit a resolution approving the treaty, because it was executory and there fore did not require approval; and also because such a step would be con trary to the sovereign rights of the state and the crown. MORE TROUBLE FOR DAUNTLESS. Crow of the Filibuster Steamer Placed Uitder Arrest. At Savannah, Ga., Thursday morn ing, United States District Attorney Erwin arrested Master J. W. Floyd, Chief Engineer Walter E. Masters and the entire crew of eeven men of the tug Dauntless. The ease will be in vestigated later.

Y., indorsing the efforts of organized labor and requiring that the published report of the league’s proceedings and addresses bear the Typographical Union label. SPAIN’S CABINET GIVES IIP. REBIGEATIONS OF MINISTRY 18 ACCEPTED BY THE (JUEEN. NO SURPRISE IS MANIFESTED. Affairs Brought to a Crisis Through Dls sentious Among: Supporters of the Government, A Madrid special states that the Spanish cabinet has resigned and that the queen has accepted the resignation, but has asked General Azearraga to continue in office until a solution of the crisis is found. Her majesty will summon the lead ers of the various parties and the pres idents of the chambers to consult as to the situation. United States Minister Woodford, the duke of Tetuan and the president of the senate, the Marquis Pazo <le la Mertzed, held a long confererice Wed nesday, and General Woodford pre sented to General Azearraga the mem bers of the United States legation. Owing to the cabinet crisis tjie Cuban pour parlers have been postponed. It is said that Senor Sagasta is in favor of superceding Captain General Weyler, and of granting autonomy to Cuba immediately. Senor Gamazo will probably be minister for foreign affairs in the new cabinet. Washington Officials Not Surprised. The news of the Spanish cabinet crisis was first brought to the attention of the officials of the state department and diplomatic officials at Washington through the Associated Press bulletin from Madrid. It is surmised that Minister Woodford’s failure to cable the department was attributable to the fact that it was after nightfall in Madrid before the news became known. It cannot be said that the event caused surprise among the officials of the state department or among the members of the diplomatic corps in Washington. The ministry, it was explained by diplomatic officials entirely familiar with the facts, is conservative through out. It was chosen after the assassi nation of Canovas and was regarded as a continuance of the Canovas regime. As to what is to follow the resigna tion of the cabinet, officials at the capital are completely in the dark. Secretary Sherman does not believe it will materially affect the relations of Spain either to the United States or to Cuba, which seems to in dicate an expectation on his part that when the cabinet is reorganized it will be found to be still of a conservative tendency. On the other hand, high officials in the administration expect a liberal cabinet under the leadership of the veteran Sagasta will be erected ou the ruins of the Azearraga cabinet. If this should be the case the future is held to be full of promise for Cuba, for it is recalled the liberals have not hesitated to express their opposition to the great expenditure of human life aud vast, treasure iu the effort to carry out the repressive conservative pro gramme for the conduct of the war. Iu the event of the formation of a liberal ministry, Minister Dnpuy Do- Lome would undoubtedly submit his resignation as the Spanish representa tive at Washington, as is usual on a change of political control of the cabi net, and the minister is, moreover, a conservative iu politics. LOSSES LED TO SUICIDE. Ex-State Secretary of West Virginia Gets Off tlie Earth. A Wheeling W. Vn., special says: Ex-State Secretary Alexander Dorsey, Wednesday morning at Moundsville, shot himself through the head with a revolver. He w r as one of the most daring oil operators in the state, and his act was due to despondency, brought on by some recent financial reverses. COSTLY BLAZE AT MOBILE.

The road will also build a hand some depot, to cost $20,000, on the site of the old Hamilton warehouse property. The bonds will be placed on the market in New York. A WOMAN LYNCHED. Ghastly Kind of a Party of Hunters In Virginia Mountains. A special from Cowan’s Depot, Rockingham county, \a., in the Slien andoah valley, says that news of a most ghastly discovery in the Mas sanutan mountains, six miles east of there, has just been received. Several hunters found the body of Peb Falls, a notorious white woman, dangling at the end of a rope fastened to the limb of a tree. When discovered the body was in the first stages of de composition. It is supposed that th woman was hanged by negroes. RESIGNATION WITHHELD. Weyler May Still He At the Hoad of the Cuban Army. The correspondent of the Associated Press at Havana has investigated the report printed in New York saying that Captain General Weyler had sent his resignation to Madrid, to take effect so soon as practicable, and has been informed from the best source available that up to the time the inves tigation was closed the captain general of Cuba had not resigned. THREATENED WITH BULLETS. Train Road of PliyHiciaiiH Receive a Warm Reception lu Louisiana Town. The effort of the business men, city and health authorities of New Orleans to effect a modification of the rigid quarantine restrictions of the various parishes of the state, by a conference of the parish and town quarantine officials along the Southern aud Texas Pacific roads, ended abruptly Wed nesday afternoon. The train carrying the physicians who were to take part in the confer ence to be held on hoard the train which left Aigeirs passed through La fayette in the afternoon, but failed to proceed any further than Rayne,where the people, armed with shotguns, re fused to let it go through. The deadly weapons were pointed at Engineer Gregory and he was told that the wheels would have to stop. Members of the body of citizens threatened to tear up tlietreck if the train persisted to run through the town. The recep tion was too warm to even permit of a parley, and the officials of the train decided that it would he wise to make its way back. The train then returned to Lafayette. Among the passengers were Dr. S. R. Olliphant, Dr. Carter of the United States marine and Dr. Guiteras, the celebrated fever experts. It is reported that Dr. Guiteras was trying to make his way into Texas, where his service are wanted as a fever expert. Wednesday’s Fever Record. Twenty-five new cases aud four deaths were recorded Wednesday in New Orleans. Edwards reported twen ty-four and no deaths; Mobile four and no deaths; Biloxi fifteen new cases but no fatalities. From this report Wednesday in Now Orleans was a record breaker in the number of new cases reported, while the deaths equaled in number those of any day since the fever was first dis covered in the city. There are various reasons given for the spread of the disease, but the principal ones are two, that the weather turned warm again, and ow ing to the much wider field to cover, the board of health had some difficulty in getting every house as closely guarded as was possible when the cases were few in number and the trained officials of the board were sta tioned about the quarantined houses. •. The fact that the death rate has been small and that the chances of an epi demic have been constantly growing less, have made the general public somewhat careless and there has been increasing friction between the quar antined people and the authorities. Imprisoned inmates of houses have been going over back fences and sneaking out of side doors iu order not to be confined, and the result has been that more germs have been scat tered and rapidly developed iu these warm days. SCRAMBLE FOR SEABOARD. Ryan Syndicate Supposed to Be Planning For Its Possession. Thomas F. Ryan, F. M. Colston and Henry Crawford, moving spirits in the syndicate that is now endeavoring to secure control of the Seaboard Air Line, arrived at Norfolk, Va., Wednes day. There were several conferences be tween them and certain large stock holders in the big southbound system, but just what this portends it is not easy to say; but that the syndicate is using every means in its power to ob tain control of the property there is no doubt. The three gentlemen seem to be very confident of success, but on the other hand the Seaboard officials, w'hile very reticent, seem to have abso lutely no fear of the syndicate. DON’T WANT GREENLAND. Canadians Believe Uncle Sam Is After the Frigid Island. According to a London cable dis patch, there is a rumor in Canadian circles that the government of the United States has made overtures to the government of Denmark with the object of acquiring Greenland from the latter country. Washington officials ridicule the story attributed to Canadian sources that the United States government is negotiating with Denmark for the ac quisition of Greenland. It is posi tively denied that the United States has any designs upon territory in that part of the world. WILL SETTLE FOR GOLD. Japan’s Trouble Willi Hawaii To Bo Ad justed On Financial Basis. An official announcement of the de parture of the Japanese cruiser for Yokohama, together with the state ment that the immigration question raginf? between Japan and Hawaii is likely to he shortly settled without ar bitration, has thrown a peaceful aspect around American questions in the Pa cific. The most important statement made by Minister Sewell is that the Ha waiian-Japanese authorities have agreed that SIOO,OOO in gold will set tle the claims of the latter against the Dole authorities. ALABAMA STANDS I*AT. She Will Not liaise Quarantine Against Atlanta Ju*t. Yet. A suggestion that the Alabama state quarantine against Allan’s be raised appears not to meet with favor in Montgomery at this time. The business men of Montgomery have been inconvenienced no little by the stringent regulations, but they have an all-abiding faith in the dis cretion of the state and county health officers and seem entirely w’illing to leave the matter with them. SCARE IN TEXAS SUBSIDES. Diiaruntine Raised and Bu*iness Resumed In Many Towns. A special from Dallas says: For the first time in two w’eeks the people of Texas are on their feet again. The official declaration of Health Officer Swearingen, that the suspicious case at Houston was not yellow fever, has been almost immediately followed by the raising of the extreme quaran tine measures which have been in force in many counties and all tho towns below Corsicana. “i’ll fill GO IG GLORY,” WAS A MOTHER’S ADMONITION TO HER INNOCENT CHILDREN. STRYCHNINE IN BREAKFAST COFFEE Doctor Found Mother and Four of the Beven Children Cold In Death. A special to the Omaha Bee from Schuyler, Neb., says that during the forenoon Sunday Frank Steinad came hastily in from Shell Creek precinct, nine miles northwest, to summon a physician to the home of Frank Davis, where he said the whole family had been poisoned. Dr. Sixta hastened out and found four of the seven children in the fam ily and their mother dead, a fifth child in a dying condition and a sixth person sick. Davis and his oldest son went away early in the morning, leaving before the rest of the family breakfasted. When the meal was prepared all sat down, aud early in the course of the meal Mrs. Davis made some such re mark as: “Eat a good breakfast and we’ll all go to glory.” An older son’s mind was affected by the remark to the extent that he did not appease his appetite. A daughter, younger than the son, after drinking a half cup of coffee, became sick and vomited. The rest of the family continued the morning meal, although the children made very wry faces and said the cot fee did not taste good. Strychnine had been put into the colfee. JAPAN’S ENTERPRISE. Money Approjii’iatofl to Teach Americans How t< Make Tea. Several months ago the Japanese Tea Guild sent to this country a spe cial commission to investigate the con dition of the Japanese tea trade in the United States siul Canada, and to co operate with its American representa tives in giving publicity to the merits of Japanese teas and the best methods of preparing them. Tea bazaars are to be opened in many of the principal cities ill the United States and Canada, where la dies can enjoy a cup of line Japanese tea made by experts, and at the same time receive instructions which will enable them to make it equally well at home. More than half the tea con sumed iu the United States and Can ada is of Japanese growth, yet most Americans apparently do not under stand how to prepare it so as to devel op. its delicious qualities. The Japan ese government has appropriated a large fund to aid iu prosecuting this educational work. The Japanese Tea Guild has issued this official recipe for making Japanese tea: First—Use a small, dry and thor oughly cleau porcelain teapot. Second—Put in one teaspoouful of tea leaves for each cup of tea desired. Third—When using Japanese teas pour on the required quantity of fresh boiled water, and let stand with closed lid from two to three minutes. Never boil the leaves. In order to retain the natural flavor Japanese tea leaves should be kept in tight can or jar, free from moisture. Note.—To thoroughly enjoy the natural, delicate and sweet flavor, neither sugar nor cream should be used. NEAL DOW PASSES AWAY. The Great Prohibition I-radcr Die* At Ills Home. General Neal Dow died at his resi dence in Portland, Me., Saturday af ternoon.' The end was peaceful and he retained consciousness until an hour before he died, recognizing his children, who were gathered at his bedside. General Dow’s death was due to the infirmities of old age. His vigorous body was worn out and his strength had been gradually failing for a year or more, but until recently he hail been able to take his accus tomed drives. A week ago Saturday he was obliged to take to his bed. His mind was still clear, however, and only a few days ago he called for the daily paper and read a portion of it. MILES HOMEWARD BOUND.

Captain Anderson, who is chairman of the committee of creditors of the Georgia Mining Manufacturing and Investment Company, made the offer, agreeing to sell the 29,000 acres of land controlled by the creditors at the government rate of S2O per awe, and to throw in all improvements which had been built thereon. He urged his plan not only because he felt tliat it would result in a profit aide enterprise for the state, but be cause it would give to the state prop erty oil which the convicts could im mediately be placed without waiting for the purchase of other property, the employmept of architects, or the erection of buildings. In reply to questions from members of the committee, Captain Anderson said that the machinery and equipment on the property were in good repair, but that to pi.it the place in perfect conditioner the housing and main tenance of 2,000 or more convicts an expenditure of $25,000 would he nec essary in the Dade and Castle Rock mines, and of $75,000 on the lands of the Walker company.

President HcKinley and party ar rived in Washington at 10 o’clock Thursday morning over the Pennsyl vania road. Mr. McKinley had hardly reached the white house before Secretary of State Sherman appeared and held a brief consultation with him, presum ably iu reference to the fall of the Spanish cabinet. WEYLER 18 GALLED HOME HE DID NOT ( ABLE RESIGNATION AS WAS REPORTED. HIS SUCCESSOR NOT YET NAMED. AzcarragM Was Askwl for His llcißlg nation* as tlc* Oimm’ii Thought Him Too Slow. A special dispatch received at Lon don from Madrid Saturday says that Captain General Weyler lias been re called from Cuba. His successor, it is added, has not- yet been officially announced. It was rumored the day following the fall of the old cabinet that Weyler, anticipating his recall, had resigned; this proved, however, to be untrue. The head of a government army can not, according to military precedent, resign during a state of war. The recall is the result of the estab ment of a liberal cabinet under Senor Sagasta, Weyler being a representa tive of the conservatives. A special from Madrid says: “Tn all her consultations with Span ish generals and leaders of political parties, the queen regent has laid stress chiefly upon the question of Spain's relations with the United States, and the best means of averting the loss of Cuba through prolongation of the war and consequent American ntervention, thereby imperiling the taliility of lier son’s throne, let alone placing it into the hands of tlio republi cans and Carlists who have beeu espec ially troublesome of late. The queen also insisted strongly upon discussing whether her Spanish rule in the West Indies would not he jeopardized by a too extended grant of autonomy, thus enabling the separa tists and autonomists to prepare grad ually and legally their evolution to wards independence. “She earnestly asked the statesmen if they believed a liberal government would be strong enough to make the majority of the Spaniards accept ex tended home rule, involving as a sac rifice the Spanish material interests in the colonial islands and a heavy bur den for the Spanish treasury, if sad dled with the Cuban debt,. “The queen questioned whether Sagasta would be able to reslrai i pub lic opinion and the press of the oppo sition parties, if he made concessions to the colonies under the pressure of diplomacy. “The queen cannot believe success would crown so complete a reversal of the policy which had been followed for the last two years and a half. “It seems that some, if not all, her loyal advisers had the courage to tell the queen regent that the alternative lies between a sincere trial of the new policy embracing ami understanding with the United States and the greater per cent of a conflict with America, probably entailing the loss of the col onies.” Marshal Blanco, it is stated, in all probability will accept the post of cap tain general of Cuba. As to Azearraga. The Madrid correspondent of the London Standard says: “The queen regent took a strong ini tiative during the crisis aud profoundly surprised General Azcarr’aga by leav ing him no alternative but resignation. She frankly expressed her disapprov al of the*conservative administration, especially in its treatment of the an archist prisoners at Fortress Mont juich. “She said she had allowed Senor Canovas to remain ill office in the hope that he would modify the rigor of his repressive policy in Cuba, and that she iiad repeatedly called the attention of ministers to administrative scan dals and abuses. Moreover, her majesty said she waited patiently for two months after the death of Senor Canovas, in the hope that the new government would correct these evils. “On its failure to do so, she con sulted General Campos, Senor Silvela aud others as to the best means of pacifying Cuba by an endeavor to sat isfy the autonomists and thus virtually to steal a march ou American diplo macy. “All the statesmen whom she con sulted appear to have advised a liberal cabinet as the best means of attaining th e queen’s wishes.
