11E DID mn v«m MIT /miitp CABLE RESIGNATION pvtifiv iTIftV
AS WAS HEPOItTED.
HIS SUCCESSOR NOT YET NAMED •
Ascnrraga Was Asked Tor hu Resignation,
at the Queen Thought Him
Too slow.
A . special . , dispatch received at L
don from Madrid Saturday says that
Captain General Weyler has been re-
«11«1 from Culm. Hi. „m.„..or .1
' a,ll,ed . Ilu! ' not J 01 olhc J
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,
re s ign during a state of war.
The recall is the result of tho estab-
7 i:ent of a liberal cabinet under Senor
Sagast.a, Weyler being a representa-
tive of the conservatives.
A special from Madrid says:
“In all her consultations with
ish generals and lenders of political
parties, the queen regent hns 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 tho war and consequent American
intervention, thereby imperiling the
stability of her son’s throne, let alone
placing it into the hands of the republi-
cans and Cavlists who havo been espec-
ially troublesome of late.
The queen also insisted strongly
upon discussing whether her Spanish
rule in the West Indies would not be
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 Unban debt.
“The queen questioned whether
Sagasta would be able to restrain 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 tlia courage to tell
the queen regent that the alternative
lies between a sincere trial of the new
policy embracing and 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 Aziwraga.
The Madrid correspondent of the
London Standard says:
“The queen regent took a strong ini¬
tiative during the crisis and profoundly
surprised General Azcarraga by leav¬
ing him no alternative expressed but resignation.
Sho frankly her disapprov¬
al of the conservative administration,
especially in its treatment of the au-
arebist prisoners at Fortress Mont-
juich.
“She said she had allowed faenor
Canovas to remain in office in the hope
that he would modify the rigor of his
repressive policy in Cuba, and that
she had repeatedly called the attention
of ministers to administrative scan-
dais 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
and others as to the best means of
pacifying Cuba by an endeavor to sat¬
isfy the autonomists aud thus virtually
to steal a march on American diplo-
maey.
“All tho statesmen whom she con¬
sulted appear to have advised a liberal
cabinet as the best means of attaining
th e queen’3 wishes.

The proposition of the Georgia
Mining, Manufacturing and Invest-
ment Company to sell to the state their
coal and iron mines in Dade county
changed the entire convict situation
over night, and threw a new element
into the discussion. The proposition
has become an unexpected factor in
the settlement of tho vexed question
which the committee has to handle.
Captain Anderson, who is chairman
of the committee of creditors of the
Georgia Alining 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 $20 per acre, and
to throw in all improvements which
had been built thereon.
He urged liis plan not only because
he felt that it would result in a profit¬
able enterprise for the state, but be¬
cause it would give to the state prop¬
erty on 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 put the place in perfect
condition for the housing and main¬
tenance of 2,000 or more convicts an
expenditure of $25,000 would be nec-
essary in the Dade and Castle Rock
mines, and of $75,000 on the lands of
the Walker company.

FAYORED BY SUGAR TRUST.
A New in Factor in tho Hawaiian Annex¬
ation Question.
Advices from Honolulu state that by
far the most important move toward
annexation since the adjournment of
congress has been a proposition to the
Hawaiian government, known to have
come in the last mail from the coast,
to the effect that if this govern¬
ment will withdraw its opposition to
the Spreekels interests in the islands,
the Sugar Trust will not only cease, its
opposition to the annexation treaty
now pending in congress, but will
actually assist in procuring its ap¬
proval by congress during the coming
winter. This story comes from a
trustworthy source.

JAPAN’S ENTERPRISE.
Money Appropriated to Teach Americans
How to Make Tea.
Several mouths ago tho Japanese
Tea Guild sent to this country a spe¬
cial commission to investigate the con¬
dition of the J apauese tea trade in the
United States snd Canada, aud 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 in the
United States and Canada, where in¬
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. Afore than half the tea con-
sinned in 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
largo fund to aid in prosecuting this
educational work. The Japanese'lea
Guild has issued this official recipe for
making Japanese tea:
First—Use a small, dry and thor¬
oughly clean porcelain teapot.
Second—Put in one teaspoonful 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 1 ’roliiMtiou Reader Dies At

General Neal Dow died at his resi¬

ternoon. The end was peaceful aud
ho retained consciousness until an
hour before he died, recognizing lii»
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 had been able to take his accus¬
tomed drives. A tveek 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.

Wednesday’s l ever Record.
Twenty-five new cases and four
deaths were recorded Wednesday in
New Orleans. Edwards reported twen¬
ty-four and no deaths; Mobile four
nnd no deaths; Biloxi fifteen new cases
but no fatalities.
From this report Wednesday in New
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 «re 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 ratehas been
small aud that the chances of an epi¬
demic have been constantly growing
less, have made tho general public
somewhat careless and there has been
increasing friction between the quar¬
antined peo/de aud the authorities.
Imprisoned inmates of houses have
been going over back fences and
sneaking out of side doors in order
not to be Confined, aud the result has
been that more germs have been scat¬
tered and rapidly developed in these
warm days.
SCRAMBLE FOR SEABOARD.

Line, arrived at Norfolk, Ya., 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 Beaboard officials,
while very retieent,seem to have abso¬
lutely no fear of the syndicate.

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.

STRON G AND BITTER FIGHT BEING
MADE ON HEALTH HOARD.
FEVER RECORDS BEING BROKEN.
Doctor* Aro I.otli to Report Cases, Giving:
as a Reason That It Curtails
Their Practice.
Friday was again something of a re¬
cord breaker in New Orleans in the
matter of new 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
ls, however, shown in tho 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.
Tho usual care is not now being
taken in diagnosing cases, and it is
quite probable that many of fever the cases
that are reported as yellow 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 Having Trouble
A bitter fight is being made on the
board of health because it is insisting
in quarantining inmates of houses in
which yellow fever exists and those
houses which immediately adjoin.
Dr. Guiteras expressed the opinion
that it is possible to confine the in¬
fection within the room where the pa¬
tient may be 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 hand, 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. in for¬
A number of doctors state, a
mal protest, that if their names are re¬
ported in connection with yellow fever
cases their practice will be ruined.
Nobody would send for them if they
have had anything to do with yellow
fever eases.
Crisis Approaching In Mobile.
Newspaper correspondents at Mobile,
Ala., are in a quandary. If they tell
the truth they are condemned locally
as w riting 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, hut 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 bioken out in two
totally unexpected quarters.
STRIKE THREATENED IN CHICAGO.
Probable Tie-Up of the City’s Street Rail-
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 po-wev 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.

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 will be brought to a close
as speedily as possible.
“No date is fixed when the consum¬
mation is to be reached, and that the
interests of Spain no less than the in¬
terests of tho United States, the inter¬
ests of humanity and the interests of
the world at large are reasons why the
war should end with the least possible
delay. acting
“And with that in view, as a
friend of Spain because of the great
stake which the United States has in
Cuba financially and otherwise, because
of the annoyance 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
rebellions 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
intimation that the war must be
brought to an end by a certain time,
or that Spain u. ust return her answer
to this note by a fixed date.”
