The gov¬ ernment authorities of Old Point have already adopted this step, and no strangers are allowed to enter the res¬ ervation. Quarantine Officer Hobson, of Newport News, went to the soldiers’ home Sunday night and verified the statement that there are now thirly eases of the disease at the home, and that there were three doaths from the malady Sunday. While no one out¬ side of the soldiers’ home knew any¬ thing about the existence of tliat yellow fever until Sunday, it is said the disease made its appearance three days before. The most rigid quarantine regulations will bo enforced to pre- vent the spread of the malady. The news created great excitement in Newport News, Old Point and Hampton, and the most vigorous meas¬ ures will be resorted to to prevent its spread. There are 4,000-old veterans nt the home.

A Washington dispatch says: Sur¬ geon General Wyman, of the marine hospital, was informed Saturday night of an outbreak of what it was feared was yellow fever at the National Sol¬ diers’ Horae, at Hampton, and imme¬ diately dispatched surgeons in the ser- vice from Washington to investigate the sickness, report on its character to the authorities, and to take measures to prevent, the spread of the disease. Dr. Wyman himself will go to Hamp¬ ton in a few days to take charge of the work of preventing a spread of the disease if it develops into genuine yel¬ low fever. NEBRASKANS HAVE ENOUGH. Regiment anti Two Batteries Arrive at San Francisco From Manila. The United States transport Han¬ cock has arrived at San Francisco from Manila, with the Nebraska regiment and two batteries of the Utah artillery on board. The returning soldiers cheered themselves hoarse at the sight of the little fleet of launches, and from the decks of the transport shouted greetings and messages to the people on the craft below. Colonel II. B. Mulford, of the Ne- braskaus, who is in command, soon appeared at the railing. “I don’t think you will see any of us returning to Manila very soon,” said Colonel Mulford, in response to a question. “Just one man in the entire regi¬ ment re-enlisted. Only twenty-five remained in the Philippines to engage in business. “The Nebraskans had as much work in this war,” continued Colonel Mul¬ ford, “as any regiment, volunteer or regular. Our death roll in the Phil- ippines from gunshot wounds, acci¬ dents nud diseases is sixty-two. In¬ cluding the sick and wounded who are recovering, we dropped all told 204 men. On the Hancock are more than one hundred wounded soldiers. The entire regiment is glad to know that it is to be mustered out in San Fran¬ cisco.” Dozen Firemen Badly Hurt.

The Central Trust Company, of New York, will net as depository, Two of the surgeons dispatched to the home, reported at once that, the symptoms very much resembled those of yellow fever, and that while they could not be positive in their diagnosis as yet, they were inclined to the belief that the illness was the dreaded yellow jack. The government will adopt strict precautionary measures to prevent a spread of the disease, and will light, its progress with all the skill and resources at its command. Sunday afternoon the surgeon gen¬ eral received a dispatch from Dr.Was- din expressing his conviction that the hospital authorities had been correct in their fears aud Hint the disease was genuine yellow fever. Surgeon White, of Washington city, and Surgeon Wur- tenbaker, from Wilmington, N. C.,will go to Hampton, and other assistants from the service will be directed to proceed there as soon as the exact condition of affairs can be learned and the needs of the situation known. Surgeon General Sternberg, of the army, declared to an Associated Press reporter nt a late hour Sunday night that he had no official knowledge of the reported outbreak of yellow fever at Hampton. Ho expressed himself as highly incredulous of tho* truth of the story, saying he had no intima¬ tion even of the question of the fever at Hampton. Still, he said he might not get the earliest news in such case, as reports probably would be first sent to the managers of the soldiers’ home. Norfolk Applies Quarantine.

Chief Justice Arrives At 5ail Francisco and Talks of 5a moan Affairs. Chief Justice W. T. Chambers, of Samoa, arrived at San Francisco Friday on tho steamer Moann, accompanied by his family. He is on a four months* leave of absence, but says that his business iu the United States Is of such a nature that he In will not probably re¬ turn to Apia, an interview, the chief justice said: “All is now quiet in Samoa, but I cannot answer for the future. Both Mataafa and Malietoa affect to he sat¬ isfied with the present arrangement, which abolishes t|je office of king and vests tho responsibility of government in the consuls of three powers. I feel sure Malietoa is sincere in this. Thongh fairly elected, nud after the election accepting the kingship, he never had ambitions in that direction. As soon as the commission arrived he proposed to resign, a spirit which later proved to be in accordance with the plans of the commissioners, and I have every reason to believe that he will live up to his bargain. “Mataafa is ambitious. For many years he has thirsted for pojver and will not bo so easily satisfied. At tho same time he is a man of exceptional ability, is shrewd, and I have never thought the interests of the natives would especially suffer in his hands. “Yes, my decision has been sustain¬ ed by the commission, and it has pub¬ lished the fact in a proclamation. “With respect to the future, I can say little. In its work, the commis¬ sion has endeavored to eliminate from the original arrangement all of the features that have appeared faulty or weak. Those sections have simply been struck out, leaving nothing in their places. What will rob the whole document of proper effectiveness is tho tripartite treaty under which it will have to operate. I am sure no government in Samoa will succeed un¬ der such an arrangement. Tho sooner the powers see this and formulate some correction, the better for all con¬ cerned.” Judge Chambers said he had finish¬ ed up all of the cases to come before the court this summer. The commis- sion is ompowed to appoint a chief jus¬ tice ad interim to act in case anything arises before a permanent appointment is made. Up to the time Chief Justice Chambers left the commission had not decided who the new man would be. QUARTET SWUNG UP. Four Nostoph Die On Sumo Gnllows at Baltimore, Md. Upon one scaffold and simultane¬ ously four negroes were ushered into eternity Friday in the Baltimore,Md., jail yard. Three of the men, Corne¬ lius Gardner, John Myers and Charles James, paid with their lives for crim¬ inally assaulting Annie Bailey, a thir¬ teen-year-old negress, while Joseph Bryan, tlio fourth member of the quar¬ tet, killed Mary Pack, a negress with whom he had lived. A fifth negro, Daniel Rodgers, con¬ victed of killing his brother-in-law, Lewis, was to have occupied the same scaffold, but his sentence was to life imprisonment by Lowndes. Tbe necks of James, Myers and were broken by the fall, and died almost instantly.

Dcnica Emphatically That Appointment* To Armj' Wore Mode For l'olit* leal Bensons. One of tho last acts of Secretary Algor, who relinquished his portfolio Tuesday, was to prepare a statement covering several matters regarding the conduct of the war which has been the subject of criticism iu the public press, particularly with reference to the ap¬ pointment of staff officers in the volun¬ teer army. Tho statement iu part is as follows: “All is well known, the force, with the exception of three regiments of engineers, three regiments of cavalry and ten regiments of immune infan¬ try, was made up of 'regiments from the various states,the officers of which were all appointed exclusively by tho governors of tlio respective states from which the regiments came, and any officer found unfitted for service and discharged was replaced by another in the same maimer. The president had no voice or control ill the matter. “From the stateineut referred to the public miglit be made to believe that the volunteer was officered by men selected through political influence with the secretary of war by special fvvor, anil without any regard to fit¬ ness for the duties they wero to per¬ form. “The returns of the volunteer army show that iu August, 181)8, there were 207,214 enlisted men and 8,785 officers in those regiments. This, with the regular army recruited up to the war strength, made an aggregate of about 275,000 officers and men. The volun¬ teer officers appointed by the presi¬ dent numbered, all told, 1,032. Of this number 441 were taken from the regular army, aud 591 from civil life. “It has been stated and repeated many times that the secretary of war made these appointments, when the truth is that very few were made upon his recommendation, although he caus- eddthe entire list,with the recommend- atAns, to be compiled and placed bo- fol ' the president for this selection. I wouitf be only too glad to have had the honor to have made these appoint¬ ments. No better, no more loyal or more patriotic set of men, as a whole, ever served their country, and their appointments were a credit not only to the appointing power, but to the country they served. There were ex¬ ceptions, but that could not have beon foreseen. “Criticisms as to the amounts and methods of expenditures which could imply the wrong or careless use of money were also made by Tho Loudon Times. This charge is false. So far as the conduct of the service was con¬ cerned no person with any knowledge of the facts can ever charge truthfully, and no one can ever show that a dollar was misappropriated, stolen or embez¬ zled out of the hundreds of millions of dollars that were expended.” SHORT ON GREENBACKS. Are Annoyed By Scnrcity of Paper Currency. Secretary Gage is much annoyed at the scarcity of paper currenoy in the norkh, and is unable to help out the merchants and banks in that section. The demand for papor currency is ex¬ traordinary at this time. In speaking of the matter Assistant Secretary Van- derly said: “The country has about all there is. is about $20,000,009 in green¬ in the treasury, but we need to do business with ourselves. We cannot issue any more Sherman or silver certificates unless some deposits silver dollars in the treasury. It has been suggested that northern banks might be able to silver from the south and deposit silver certificates.” Central Railway Incorporated. The Utah Central railway was in¬ corporated at Salt Lake Monday with a capital stock of $87,000,000, its ob¬ ject being, it-is said, to acquire the Central Pacific railroad and all its property and franchises. SENT FOR THEIR BAGGAGE. Mormon Elder* Were Not. Hurt By the Whitecappor*. The latest news in regard to tlio missing Mormon elders is to the effect that on Wednesday two men from near Flovila, Ga., Messrs. John Thomas and J. J. Singley, arrived at Mr. Cun- uard’s with a note from tho Mormons, asking Mr. Cunnard to send their hats and baggage. They also said that the whitecappers did not hurt them, but escorted them to tbe lino of Newton county and told them to “burn tho wind” and if they ever rnmo back they would be killed. The shooting of Mrs. Cunnard seemed to scare them out of whipping tho Mormons. ROOSEVELT SCORED ALGER. Rough Rider Advised President to Oust the Secretary of War. A Washington dispatch from Wash¬ ington says: It has developed that Governor Roosevelt wrote a letter to a cabinet officer a short time ago urging the retirement of General Alger; that General Otis be relioved of his com¬ mand in the Philippines, and that General Brooke should be succeeded as military governor of Cuba by Gen¬ Lenoard Wood, .

Atkinson On (lenornl Gill Is Causing Much Discussion. An Atlanta dispatch says: The re¬ cent attack of H. M. Atkinson, secro- ! tarv and treasurer of the Collins Park and Belt Railway Company, on Gen¬ eral John Gill, president of the Mer¬ cantile Trust and Deposit Company, of Baltimore, before the electric railway committee of the Atlanta city council and in the public prints, has created ; quite a stir not only in Atlanta, but in | eastern financial circles, where both gentlemen are well known. Mr. Atkinson roasted General Gill hard for disclosing to Joel Hurt and to the public through Mr. Hurt, the pri¬ vate correspondence he had had with the Mercantile Trust company. Theso letters, it will be remembered, were rend by Mr. Hurt in public several days ago, and were also made public at the hearing of the injunction suit of tho state against the Consolidated et al. in the hearing before Commis¬ sioner Parry. Mr. Atkinson took the position that as the letters were strictly confidential General Gill should not have made them public in order to further his.own private inter¬ ests. The eastern papers have been pub¬ lishing reports of Mr. Atkinson’s at¬ tack on General Gill, even going so far ns to intimate a duel between these gentlemen. It happens, however, that General Gill is in Europe, and that it was Charles It. Spence, vice president of the Mercantile oompanv, that gave Mr. Atkinson’s letters out “to the pub- lie.

PISTOLS AND SHOTGUN WERE BROUGHT INTO USE During Helee a Woman Was Shot--Mormon Doc¬ trines Were Obnoxious. Three Mormnn elders, who have been preaching their peculiar doctrinea in the vicinity of Covington, Ga., for the pant few wooka, were mobbed Thursday night by thirty masked men near Newton fnctory. The Mormons had met with little s,l< ’ (:08a in their effort at proselyting, hut following their custom, had beg¬ ged food and lodging, which the conn- try people, in the kindness of thoir hearts, willingly extended, The missionaries, together with Mr. and Mrs. William Cunnard, were seat¬ ed on the front porch of the latter’s residence Thursday evening enjoying a quiet after warning supper chat. There had becq no of an outbreak, and tho Mormons fancied themselves in security. Suddenly the tramp of ap- pronchiug horses was heard, and iu a few moments thirty well mounted and armed men drew up before the door of the Cunnard residence, nud dismount- ing, filed into the yard, All the men wore black masks, and there was little confusion, the mob pushing forward one of their number as spokesman. This party brusquely addressed the elders, commanding that they accom- pany the men who stood waiting to receive them. At this an altercation arose between the members of the mob and tho Cnunnrds, who declarod that they would not violate the rules of hospitality by allowing thoir guests to ho taken away in this envalier fashion.

Ingersoll died, was a quiet placo Wednesday. The body of the dead agnostic lay on his flower- covered bier. Only the widow and daughters sat near, all the others kept aw ay. These hundred letters were received during the day from $11 over the country, most of them from inti- mate friends, Colonel Ingersoll’s body was cre- mated Thursday. The coffin was a plain black cloth covered affair with- out ornament or handles of any kind, and without even a name plate. It was simply a box iu which the dead might lie at rest during the journey to tho crematory at Fresh Fond, L. I. The body was jilaced in the retort at 11:50 and at 2 o’clock ull that re- mained was ashes, There were no services at the crem- atory. Even tho organ, which is usually played while a cremation is going on, was silent. This was at tlio request of tho family, The incineration was strictly pri- vato. The timo was not even set, in order that the public might not know, The funeral party waited during the hours while tho body was being con- aimed, to take the ashes back with them, TO RAISE DEWEY FUND.

IMstols were drawn, and Mr. Mr.Cunnard, rushing into the house, secured hia shotgnn. In the confusion the light iu the sitting room was extinguished, and then ensued a rapid volley of shots from the mob, broken by ty tho deafening report of the shotgun. For several minutes tliero was much scuffling and bad language, and when a light was finally procured tho mob had retreated, taking the missionaries with them, and lying in one corner of the poroh was Mrs. Guimard, the half of whoso faco had been shot off. It is supposed that iu the uncertain light Mr. Cunnard discharged his weapon directly into tho face ol his wife. Just what had become of the Mor¬ mons was a mystery for the time be¬ ing. They have beon very persistent in their efforts to sproad their faith, and the doctrines which they proposed are exceedingly obnoxious to the mass of the country people. Only « short, time ago they were rotten-egged out of Winder and Monticello, and other Georgia towns have accorded them similar treatment. They do not provide themselves with scrip or with clothing, declaring that they will subsist as did the apostles of old. They make a slight impression on the more credulous, but the substantial country people are bit¬ terly opposed to their presence in any community which they may invade, and if they have escaped thus far it is only because their mission has. been a one. LUET6ERT DEAD IN CELL. Chicago Sausngemaker Once Con¬ fessed That He Killed His Wife. Adolph L. Luctgert, the wealthy Chicago sausage maker who was serv¬ ing a life sentence in tho penitentiary at Joliet, J1I., for tho murder of his wife, was found dead in his cell Thurs¬ day. I)rs. Warner and O’Malley held a post mortem examination, disclosing the fnct. that Luet^ort died from fatty degeneration of the member heart. the Frank Fay Pratt, a of Chicago bar, made a statement Thursday night that Luetgert cop fessed in February, 1808, that he h?f killed hi» wife. “In February, 1808, said Mr. PraK “in my visits to a client at the jail, I became acquainted with the sausage maker. He was told by one of the jailers that I was a palm reader, and one day as I was passing his cell he asked me to read his hand. I found tho lines of fatality or predestination very strong, and I told him that from his hand I could readily see that he was not responsible for his actions in tho sense of self-restrniut. He then said: “Yes, that is so; I did kill my wife. I was possessed of the devil and kill¬ ed her because I was in love with an¬ other woman. “He then started to tell me about the vat and said his wife attempted to make a dying statement to him when the dogs began to growl and he put an end to her. He then began curs¬ ing. As I considered the confession a professional one, I respected it until death has now placed him beyond fur¬ ther human pursuit.” The trial of Luetgert in Chicago at¬ tracted widespread attention and was one of the most sensational in the his¬ tory of the state. Luetgert was charged with having murdered his wife in the basomeut of his factory and cooked the body to pieces in a vat. Tho prosecution had but a few small bones and two rings as evidence that their story was correct, but secured conviction and a life sentence. M’KINLEY WILL HONOR DEWEY. Admiral Will He Given a Reception at White House. .President McKinley will give a re¬ ception to Admiral Dewey at the white house when the latter arrives in Wash¬ ington. At first he was in doubt whether a reception or dinner would be more appropriate, but the former is likely to be decided on, for the rea¬ son it would be more popular in char¬ acter and would grant a multitude of people an opportunity to meet the na¬ val hero and shake hands with him. The management of the reception will be very simple and will differ in no important respects from regular affairs of that character. Baker Admitted to Bail. At Barbourville, Ky., Monday, Wiley Baker was admitted to bail in the sum of $5,000. Wiley and Jim Baker are charged with the murder of Wilson Howard and Burch Storr.
