TO OBSERVE NEUTRALITY LAWS It la of the Utmost Importance That All United States Officers Should Pay strict Attention to the Orders of the Secretaries, Washington, D. C., June 14.—Sur geon General Wyman received a mes sage today from Vera Cruz announc ing that for the week ending June 5 there had been five deaths from yel low fever and that the disease was on the Increase. Attorney General Harmon has ad- dresed to all United States District attorneys between New York and Brownsville, Tex., the following letter of Instructions: "Department of Justice, Washing ton, D. C., June 13, 1895.—To United States District Attorneys: I send you a copy of a letter of the 10th instant from the secretary of state In relation to rumors and reports of llegal mea sures being on foot In this country to aid the Insurrection now going on In the Island of Cuba. ‘Take all steps that are necessary and proper to prevent any violation of the neutrality lawB In the direction indicated, acting promptly and vigor ously and In conjunction with the marshal whom I have written upon the same subject.

Very re spectfully, "Judson Harmon, "Attorney General.’’ Secretary Olney’s letter to the attor ney general, making the suggestion upon which thse instructions are based, Is as follows: "Department of State, Washington, June 10, 1895.—The Hon. Attorney General—Sir: It Is matter of current rumor and newspaper report that at various points In the United States attempts are making by enlistment of men. the equipment and arming of ves sels and and by other Illegal measures to aid the Insurrection now In progress In the Island of Cuba. While this de partment has not been furnished with tangible evidence confirmatory of such rumors and reports. It deems it of great Importance that no possible opportunity be given for complaints that the government of the United States has In any respects fallen short of its full duty to a friendly nation. It Is respectfuly suggested, therefore, that the United States attorneys anu marshals for the several districts em bracing the coast line between New York and Brownsville have their at tention called to the subject, and be speclaly enjoined to see to It that the neutrality laws of the United States are faithfully observed and all Viola tions thereof promptly and vigorously prosecuted. Respectfully yours, "Richard Olney RANSOM IS ILL. He May Be Obliged to Give up His Mission to Mexico. ' Washington, June 14.—A report Is published here this evening that ex- Senator Ransom, United States min ister to Mexico, is seriously ill at bis home In North Carolina Mr. Ransom has not been In good health for some time. His visit to the City of Mexico was Injurious to his health, and the rarifled atmosphere at that capital affected his heart so se riously that his physician would not allow him to remain there. He ob tained leave of absence and came home to recuperate. There Is considerable doubt as to his return to Mexico, and It Is almost certdln that he will be compelled to relinquish the mission unless his health undergoes material Improve ment, as It Is not likely he can stand the climate of the City of Mexico In his present enfeebled state. His illness may prove only tempora ry, however, and he may soon recover his health, in which event he will un doubtedly return to bis diplomatic post. HE IS IMPROVING. ' Raleigh, N. C., June 14.—A telegram from Lenoir, N. C., says: Minister Ransom has been here ten 'days, and Is Improving rapidly. Ills condition Is favorable for many years’ usefulness to his state and country.

F. Saner, a white woman, and sentenced to be hanged next Friday, the 21st. Judge Beck refused to grant the new itrtal, but the negro's attorneys will appeal the case to the supreme court, and hope yet to clear him as there Is some strong circumstantial evidence In his favor. Duncan has now. been convicted twice of the crime. SEVEN'PEOPLE KILED. As the Result of a Boiler Explosion at Fall River. Fall River, Mass., June 14.—A catas trophe which created the greatest ex citement In this city since the granite mill fire occurred this morning at the Langley loom horness shop on County street, tbree-story wooden building owned by Henre Langley. A fifty-horse power boiler exploded In the rear part of the basement blow ing out th,. sides of the building, knocking away the supports and allow ing the upper floor to settle Into mass of ruins. Fire started in the ruins and began to burn briskly. The firemen made heroic efforts to rescue the Imprisoned work people, of whom there were sev enteen. Shrieks from the girls In the ruins were mingled with the agonized cries of their friends who had hurried to the scene when the first news of the catastrophe spread. Ambulance calls were sent out hur riedly and every physician who could be reached was <sent at once to the scene. Near-by houses were turned Into tem porary hospitals. At 9 o'clock the badly charred and scarcely recogniza ble body of a woman was haueld from the ruins. The fire had been quenched, but It was still smoulderin and the work of rescuing could go on only with difficulty. Up to noon the work of search and rescue was carried on amid great ex citement and at that hour It was found that four persons had been killed, three more were missing and four had been seriously injured. It Is quite certain that seven deaths at least will result. Mr. Langley says the boiler was only three and one-half years old. The fireman and engineer escaped Injury. There was plenty of water In the boiler, the engineer aays. The total pecuniary loss will about 340,000. The engineer says the boiler had not been officially Inspected In five years so far as he couldremember, although It was repaired not long ago. He has been an engineer for eight years. DISCUSSED CROMWELL John Nolan Said He Was a Treache rous Brute. London, June 14.—In the house of commons today Mr. A. C. Morton, Liberal member from Peterborough, moved to reduce the annual grant for the maintenance of Buckingham pal ace and Marlborough house respect ively, residence of the queen and the Prince of Wales In London, and di vert 10,000 pounds toward repairing Holywood house, the royal residence In Edinburgh. Mr. Herbert Gladstone, first commis sioner of works, said that Holywood house was In excellent condition and did not need any grant for repairs. Mr. .Morton's motion, upon the strength of Mr. Gladstone's statement, was withdrawn. Mr.' L. P. Haden, member for South Roscommon, moved to reduce the es timates by 600 pounds, as a protest against the expenditure of public money upon the construction of a statue of Oliver Cromwell within the precincts of parliament. Mr. William Redmond, member for East Clare, protested against the glo rification of the memory of a man whom nine-tenths of the people of Ireland regarded as a murderer. Sir William Harcourt, chancellor of the exchequer, said the house ought to be governed by the fact that the record of famous men In English history must be determined by Individual sympathies, and they must remember the place they occupied In the life of the nation, and look upon the matter In a broad spirit. The commonwealth, he said, was a great epoch; Cromwell played the part of a man of greatness, a fact which everyone admitted. John P. Nolan, Pamelllte, charged that Cromwell had played the part of a treacherous brute and that Sir Wil liam Harcourt had Identified himself with many of his (Cromwell’s) actions. (Parnelllte laughter.) The motion introduced by Mr. Hay den was rejected—163 to 137. $ ray in. There Is No Question, It Says, About the Continued Improvement in Business. ALL' THE INDICATIONS ARE GOOD All the Different Avennes of Trade Show a Derided Improvement—The Re port From Brad street S ho we * the lame Opinion, GOODWIN HANGED. Entirely Without Sensational Features He Passed Away. Mobile, Ala., June 14.—Philip Good win, colored, was hanged at 6 a. m. for the murder on August 6. 1893, of John Poole, a section boss of the Lou isville and Nashville railway at Ve- netfa. Mobile county. The hanging was devoid of sensa tional features. Poole and Goodwin had a dispute about money claimed by Goodwin as due from Poole, and the latter is said to have driven Goodwin away. The following morning Good, win appeared In front of Poole’s house—Poole being on the porch—and said: "You have been ‘hosslng’ after me long enough, and you hav.e got to atop It." With that he discharged a gun at Poole, mortally wounding him. Goodwin gave himself up, saying that he knew the sheriff would get him sooner or later. The prisoner had two trials, both returning a verdict of mur der lu the lirst degree. An appeal was made to- the governor in his behalf oh the ground that the cause of the trouble between Goodwin and Poole was Poole’s proposition to Goodwin to give to blm Goodwin's wife. This Is believed to have been an after thought of Goodwin’s. No evidence was Introduced to sup port this statement and the governor refused to Interfere. SOUTHERN HARBORS. Washington, June 14,—Gen. Cruighill, chief of the engineer corps of the af-my. has 1 received some very encour aging reports on the improvements of Southern harbors. The officer at Galveston reports that they have now between eighteen and nineteen feet of water, where there were originally but twelve feet. At Savannah the depth has been In creased from fourteen and a half to twenty-four feet, and It la expected that twenty-six feet will be obtained before long. When work was begun at Charles ton harbor there were but twelve feet at low tide. The officer there now re ports fifteen feet and expects more when the jetties, which are now. nearly completed, are finished. New York, Juno 14.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: It la no longer a question whether business Improves. Not for a long time has our reports from all parts of the country ben so uniformly favora ble. The dally average of bank clearings In June la 24.8 per cent. larger than Mat year, though 11.4 per cent, lesa than In 1892. The most potent Influ ence has been the receipt of more favorable advices regarding growing crops. Even official statements helped, be cause altogether less gloomy than pre vious reports. Labor troubles are get ting out of the way; wages In many establishments are rising, and with the iron Industry just now leading, there Is general Improvement In man ufactures. Monetary conditions also help.. . The time draws near when with good crops exports will bring gold hither, and although foreign operations on stocks and bonds have ben insignifi cant this week, the effect of previous transactions has not been exhausted. Much diminished receipts qf money from the Interior Indicate better em ployment In business, especially at the West, and the volume of commercial loans steadily rises and is now fair for this season even In a good year. The official statement of 14.8 per cent, decrease In the cotton acreage was quickly found. In view of the revised government estimates for last year, to mean more than 20,000,000 acres now growing cotton, which much exceeds the best unofficial estimates, and from nn area no greater over 9,000,000 bales were produced in 1891, so that the report gave no aid to prophets of evil. That some reduction would be well for the South Is clear, but the heavy present surplus will cover a larger loss than seems prohr able. The price has not changed, but transactions have been insignificant, though rainfall and temperature are closely watched. Manufacturers abroad, according to Ellison, have stocks of 289,000 bales greater than a year ago, and commercial stocks pf American -In sight arc still 3,200,208 bales. The cotton mills art doing well for the season and numerous advances of eighth to a quarter in Brown sheetings, drills, bleached muslins, linens and ticks are stll reported. The wool manufacturer looks for speedy settlement of labor troubles and finds a moderate demand for low and medium heavy-weight goods, while some of the cheaper lines of spring goods have been opened with flourishing results, but as to better grades, there Is still great uncertainty about priceB|. The output of pig Iron June 1 was but a trifle larger than May 1st, 157,224 tons, against 158,654 a month ago and 174,029 two years ago. The coke producers about Conells- vllle have not yet made open decla rations of their new contracts, but contracts are being made at 31.35 for the last half of the year, with pro vision for an advance of wages. The failures for the past week have ben 241 In the United States, against 232 last year, and 24 in Canada, against 40 last year. I In a Moment of Weakness IloFell, ami Then Went Steadily From Bad to Worse. NOW OCCUPIES A FELON’S CELL Sold Over 375,000 Worth of Bad Paper and Maker a Coiifeecton to HU Crime—A Met of tile Banks Thai Hare Suffered. New York, June 14.—Albert S. Moore, the secretary and treasurer of the East river Silk Company, who Is now occupying a cell In the tombs under charges of forging Indorsements of the firm on Inman, Swan & Co., and of Robert W. Inman to notes and the name of John Menke as acceptance to drafts, passed an almost sleepless night In cell 91, of the old prison, which he occupies alone and ate but little breakfast. In an Interview he said: "f. first forged three years ago. was a bookkeeper for Inman, Swan & Co., for' whom I had worked for four teen yefirs. I had been speculating In, the market and was long In cotton. Late one evening my broker came to me anc| told me that I had to put up more margin at once. He was In deep water, and my failure to keep the con tract I had with him would have ne cessitated him falling. I had no money but I told him 1 would give him the needed amount. In an unfortunate moment I decided that I could raize the money on bad paper. I expected to realize my fortune and buy back the note.

New York, June 14.—Bradstreets will say tomorrow: The recent check to activity In gen eral trade, taking the country as a whole, which followed the unusual frosts at the close of May, has begun to register Its life In relatively fewer upward spurts of prices for staples and moderately smaller totals of bank clearings. The cereal crop scares which fol lowed the frosts frightened foreigners out of Wall street for the moment, and since then the speculative ex changes and leading commercial houses have ben busy trying to deter mine future values on the basis of present conditions. The exception to the halt Is found In the remarkable exhibition of strength in Iron and steel. Cotton, leather, wheat, railway and other se curities have each presented a season of active demand, advancing prices, but none of them has outdone Iron and steel, which, without special orders from railroads and other targe con sumers, have again advanced all along the line. The industry Is undoubtedly In a better condition than for years. There have been few changes In the trade situation at the South, but these are in the direction of Improved demand, principally In dry gods, shoes, hats and other seasonable goods, with the prospect for a good fall trade, should the crop prospects remain as at present. Gains In the volume of business are reported from Charleston, Nashville, Jacksonville and Galveston. SPENCER EXPLAINS His Plans For Securing an Entrance to Norfolk. New York, June 14.—The directors of the Southern railroad met today and approved the accounts of the Rich mond Terminal reorganization com mittee up to April 6. 1895. anff extended the time for further accounting to De cember 18, 1895. President Spencer ex plained to the directors his plans for securing an entrance Into Norfolk, dorsement and sold It to tho bank. Just the amount I do not know. From that time on things went bad with me. I was on the wrong aide of the market and simply got deeper and deeper. I had to keep on selling bad ppper to raise money to keep my self up. But all the time, things got worse* and worse untll-now I am here." What is the amount of your for geries 7” "Jt had no memorandum of all tho bad paper I passed afld gave It to the police. The report that the aggregate Is over 3100,000 Is not correct. I am positive that there wa3 not over 375,- 000. I can say now that I sold no paper out of town—not a cent's worth.” The following list of the amounts paid by various banking Instltnutions which had bought Mb forged paper was shown to him: National Union bank, 34,000; the Bant of Now York, 32.600; the South ern National bank, 32,000; the Bank of America, 325,000; the United StateB Na tional, 3X0,000. When asked If this list would cover all his forgeries he said: ‘Yes, sir; with the exception, think, of a had note of the silk com pany for 36,000, which I sold to the Broadway Bank. 11 am positive that no- more bad paper for which I am responsible Is out.”: Moore was arraigned In the Tombs police court this afternoon and was held In 325,000 bail for trial on the charge of forging a note for 312,000 on the Central National bank, with the forged signatures of Robert H. Inman and Inman, Swan & Co. Moore waived examination. W. H. Jewitt, cashier of tho bank, is the com plainant. The plant of tho East River Silk Company In Astoria, wan seized this noon by Sheriff Doht of Queens county, under attachments sworn out by the Bank of America and the National Union bank. The two banks had In their possession 340,000 and 34,000 re- spectlvlely of the worthless notes said have been forged by Albert S. Moore. There are claims held by others against the company. The plant Is valued at 380.000. When the sheriff took possession, the employos were dis missed and the factory euspended work. TWO SAVANNAH GIRLS Arrested In New York For Running Away From Home . New York, Juno 14.—Two attractive and well dressed girls were arraigned before Justice Talntor in tho Jefferson Market police court this morning on a charge of running away from their homes In Savannah, Ga. The girls were Gertrude Murtha and Joule Flannlgan, each 16 years of age. They were employed In a factory at Savannah and left that city on the steamer Kansas City, which reached this city at 2:45 o’clock this morning.

New York, June' 14,-The Herald aays this morning: The coming alli ance between the Southern railroad and Atlantic Coast Line M not In the na ture of a consolidation, but merely a traffic arrangement. It will enable the Southern company to use the port of Norfolk for export and connections by steamship to New York and other North Atlantic seaboard points.

Archibald Belcher Will Not Get Much Comfort From the Board of Visitors. Athena. June 14.—(Special.)—Mr. Archibald Belcher of Covington, Ga.. who was expelled from the University yesterday, has brought his case before the board of trustees and they have been considering It today. • He wants hts shcopakin, and wants It bad, but the chances of getting It now appear decidedly allm, as tl Is un derstood that the faculty voted solid ly for his expulsion and tho board of trustees will scarely seo lit to override their action. Ex-Tutor Belcher should have sal\J/ to his clients, Prosseor Petrie, "burn this letter," or else have been prepared to shake tils looks In the face of the faculty and remark In the language of the Immortal Robert Toombs: "To hades with your old sheepskin!" But 51 r. Belcher’s friends hope that he may yet come out on top. The young man has a good record behind him, and It 1* exceedingly un fortunate that ho Is In trouble Just at this time. , A YOUNG MEMBER.

Mayfield-of South Carolina, the Palmetto state's delega tion to the Memphis sliver convention, stopped over In Atlanta tonight on their way home. The published reports of Senator Tillman's sayings and doings In Mem phis made his presence In the Christ ian town of Atlanta a matter of par ticular Interest, untf about tho Kim ball house, where ho put up, thore was a good deal of gossip passed around about him. When the Telegraph correspondent called upon Senator Tillman ho was found cocked up in bed, shading his solitary eye from the rays of the gas Jet. Ills head evidently hurt him. It looked heavy, and when tho senator finally desired to speak it was plain to be seen that the Memphis convention was like bile on his stomach. Possibly It was the recollection of the convention that made his head ap parently more than normally weighty. "Young man," he said, "you repre sent the Macon Telegraph, do you?" "Yes," was the modest reply. “Well, don't you know that that pa per has been abusing me Uko and lying on me like 7” Tho Telegraph man endeavored to switch the senator to tho Memphis con vention, but tt was a distasteful sub ject to him, "What do you think of the conven tion, governor?” "It was enthusiastic," and he thrust Ills thumb Into hts bad eye and fairly glared at the Telegraph man with tho other. “What effect will It have on tho party?" "Which party?" He made this an swer with a savageness that caused the Telegraph man to move toward tho door as ho replied: \"Tlio Democratic party, of course.” "Ball." Tho Palmetto brand senator sloughed off between tho pillows and the correspondent paused for tho re sult. The papers say, governor, that you told the convention that tho people of South Carolina would not vote Dor Jesus Christ unless ho was sworn to free silver. How about It?" "It’s u lie. I said South Carolina wouldn’t vote for Jesus Christ on a goldbug platform.” "Well, what's tho difference?” "Lois of difference.’’ Tho Palmetto brand senntor here gathered himself for tils parting salutation. "And, young mun,” ho exclaimed, "your paperls not tho only one that’s lying on me. Hero's tho Atlanta Jour nal this afternoon lying about mo again. It aays I cursed and hlas- phemed around tho hotel lobbies, but It lies like I tell you. I don't blas pheme. Besides, I staid In my room thoro nearly all tho time. I'vo got a thick hide, and those -— lies don’t hurt mo. They don’t oven worry me.” Tho senator allowed' his legs to hang ' ovor the side of tho bod, and as the correspondent withdrew ho sent after him the admonition; "You go and print the facts, young man.” MAJOR HANSON WILL SPEAK At the Commencement at tho State School of Technology Next Week.
