Several New Cases In Mobile, and People Are Fieeing From the Infested City. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 14.—Sur- geou-General Wyman to-day received the Guiteras, the cerning the yellow fever situation there: “The patient at the city hospital is still living, The case of Basrgo, reported by me as suspicious, 1 have not been able to see agamn. The subsequent history ruore suspicious. He has with people from been shown another case, which I bave vronounced, without doubt, yellow fever.

The cases are not grouped inany | one quarter of the city.” A dispaich was received from Fontaine- the site of the detention camp, from Surgeon White, stating that Dr. Gaines reports one new case at Bar- clay. The surgeon-general ordered by tele- | gravh, 200 wall tents, to be shipped im- mediately from St. Louis to Surgeon Tenn., there to be held untii furiher orders, Stewart Goodman ordered from | Fort Monroe, Va., to the detention .camp at Fontainebleau, Miss. NEW ORLEANS, La., Sept. 14.—The books of the Board of Health show the in the yellow fever situatio There has been reported to the board | for investigation twenty-six cases which | the attending physicians cons:dered sus- picious. Of these thirtcen cases had been found suffering with a harmless fever; five cases were regarded as suspicious, but necessary to be jurther investigated be- fore a definite report could be made upon them. Lher: were mo reports as to four All the | cases, and four cases had been pronounced genuine vellow fever, though one of the latter was classed as of mild type. Tue most serious of the four yellow fever cases is located in the neighborhood of the French market. The locality is far from cleanly one, and is populated by a| poorer class of people, many of wnom are foreigners, and might be considered dan- gerous ground. For that reason especial pains were taken by the Board of Health to quarantine the infected houses. Otfi- cers from the police force were detailed to take charge of the neighborhood. A res- tacrapt, a bakery and a shop next door to the premises in which the fever was niectant was sent to the scene to be used. Of course the report of new cases daily is creating alarm in some quarters, but thus far the disease bas shown but little malignancy, as witness the record of one death out of fourteen cases, and none of the practicing phys.cians are yet on rec- oTd as expressing a feac of an epidemic. President Oiliphant of the Board of public ownership and control now sur- | Health said to-night to -the Associatea rounds the private claimants. a Board of Harbor Commissi evelop and improv ‘s navigable water front from or- dipary low-tide land westward into the waters of the bay west of Oakland and in the estuary south of Oakland. “All the wharfage, dockage, tolls and | nd senables the State, either throngh | ¥bat I have said to you heretofore. Press correspondent: *I repeat to-night 0: ts or by | course it is an nopleasant task to have to icipal sgency it may choose, to i report the appearance of new cases, but ihe whole of | the moment has not yet come when we | should throw up our hands and admit | that the fever is in a fair way to con r the city. It will not be surprising anc w should not be disappoinied ii other cases appear daily for some time; how many I m not prepared to say. Tuat 1s, of profit to be derived from this eutire nayi- | course, to be expected from the extended + | gable water front, seven or eight miles in | extent, will now be the profits of the State. T be State, without cost to itself, can im- | prove this water front, as it has been and isdoing on the water front of San Fran- sco. The re of this decision is to plece the mudflats in Oakland in thesame | vosition gpovernmentaliy as the water lots in San Frin . “Between low-tide land and high-tide | Jand there is this strip, varying in width, | which is allowed to the water front com- pany, subject to all rights of streetsand | nd public places which, on April 2, 1868, | was dedicated to the public. Just what streets and public places then were abutting upon the shore on that day in 1868 will, of course, require an examina- tion to ascertain. “Either the ciy of Oakxland or any business organization authorized to con- demn land for streets, railroads or any public use can condemn rights of way dacross these mud flats, and when they have crossed this strip they have reached the public water front belonging to and under the ‘control of the State of Cali- fornia. “Nearly the whole present mole and the long wharf and the narrow-gauge wharf are outside of low-tide lands, i.cluding the depots, which remain uat the suffer- ance of the Siate and subjeci to the State regulations. of the mnorth arm is also at the sufferance of the State, and all wharves, siips, depots, landings and | other improvements, whether in Brook- lyn basin, the estuary or the bay of San Francisco, are subject directly and im- mediately to the State’s regulation and control, including the right to regulate, charge and collect all wharfage, dockage and toils. Of course the State will not #ct unjustly as to any of these improve- | ments which do not interiere with com- merce and navization, but the power of the State 1s deciared by this decision to be clear and absolute 1n all this vast ex- | tent at every point waterward from the line of low tide. “It is of small concern to the city of Oakland whether the adjudication be that this public control shall be in the name of the city or in the name of the State; the great point is that it is in the public ana not in the control of private claimants, *The reason why the courts did notap- piy the doctrine of the Chicago lake iront case is because of their construction of the descriptive words as to the boundaries of e town of Oakiand and the boundaries of the water front within it. Assoon as the courtdetermined that ship channel sueant merely low tide the whole question of navigable waters was pragtically elim- inated from the case. However, the court intimated that had the grant gone 'o ‘ship channel,’ as it has been formerly understood, the whole grant would have been declared void, as the possibility of Everytning east | | tween New Orleans and | places on the Gulf coss:, private ownership under navigable waters is denied.” intercourse that has been in vogue be- the infected So far, however, as the fever in New Orleans is concerned, you may say that we are convinced that the disease is not spreading beyond the limits of the places which we are quaran- tining. I mean, for lustance, that it has not extended beyond one side of the square on St. Ciaude, in which 1t was originally found. This prevention of a spread goes to prove ihe efficiency of our sanitary metnods and quarantine regu- lations. Not one of the cases in New Orleans originated here. Every one of them may be traced back to Ocean Springs or points on the coast, I feel that I may say that the situation has not become alarming.” The same rigid attention is being given to the suspicious cases as obtains in the treatment of those which are declared to be yellow fever. Guards are stationea about the premises, the streets are kept clear, pedestrians are warned and liberal use is made of disinfectants, for the an- thorities have come to realize that the sit- uation is critical and that only watchful- nessand vigilance will master the scourge, One of the features developed during the day is that people of maturer age have been attacked. Heretofore the disease has been confined principally to children of tender age and boys and girls not yet grown to manhood and womanhood. 'wo of the late cases show that older peo- p.e have been attacked. Under instructions from the Superin- tendent of the Railway Mail Service the postofiice anthorities to-day fumigated ali outgoing mails, in order that letiers and packages be not sent back by the authori- ties of quarantined cities and towns. Compiaints have been reaching here from many points of delays in getting mail, but 1t is thouscht their system of fumigation will in the future relieve all sources of complaint of this nature. The Louisville and Nashviile Railroad to-day sent out another special train to Atlania, giving people on the coast an- other opportunity to go 10 the Gate City. The train took aboiut twenty gentlemen trom Biloxi and a number from New Or- leans. The railroad company, however, reiuses to allow passengers to take any baggage of such a nature as to be a good hiding-place for cerms. This afternoon a new case of fever was reported at Barclay. OQut of a popuiation of tweniy-five persons only three persons in Barclay have not had the sickness, and the percentage of deaths has been what is usual in yeliow fever evidemics. There were several new cases reported to-day at Ocean Springs, and of the number of il at Biloxi fifteen were reported as suffering with yellow fever. At Ocean Springs Dr. Wasdin of the Marine Hospital staff is re- ceiving the Dbest of attention, and 1t is boped he will pull throu h in a few days. Surgeons Carier and Dunn left Ocean Springs for Pascagonla to-day. A case of yellew fevar exists at that poin A pum- ber of immunes «t Ocean Springs are to be sent to Ciucinnati in a special car. Surgeon White has been at the detention camp for tike past two davs superintend- ing its construction. As soon as it is ready a iarge number of people will bte taken awzy from Biloxi and Ocean Springs, and yellow fever thus deprived of fresh material to feed upon. JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 14.—This has veen another day of excitement and anx- iety to the people of Juckson, from which an exodus began yesterday to the sur- rounding towns, The city is now sur- rounded on all sides by an armed guard and the quarantine rulesareenforced with great strictness. The vrincipal cause of alarm to the people of Jackson came from Edwards, only twenty-five miles distant, where there are now tairty-five cases of deng e, at least t ree of which were re- poried iast night to be considered suspi- cious by Dr. J. H, Purnell, the fever ex- pert from Vicksburg, who has been sta- tioned at Edwards by the State Board of Health. A statement received here by the Associated Press at noon from Dr. Parnell hud a reassuring effect upon the people. It was to 1he effect that the con- dition ofaffairs at Edwards was not atall alarming, teyond the fact that there ex- ists there an epidemic of dengue. He now reports only one very sick person in town, and his condition is caused by an attack of malarial fever followed by dengue. Business in Jackson is at a com- plete standstill. MOBILE, Aca., Sept. 14.—Three cases of yeliow fever were officially an- nounced te-day by the Board of Health. This caused much more alarm than did the discovery of the first case, which was regarded as eporadic. The people who can are leaving for points of safety. Some $700 worth of tickets to Atlanta were sold by the Louisviile and Nashville | Railroad, and the trains leaving are crowded. The same is true of the trains on the Mobile and Ohio. iuiteras left to-day for Edwards, Mis, induced thither to investigaie the dispatcu received Irom there. \When asked upon what he based his telegram 10 the surgeon-ganeral that there would be a spread «f the disease here hesa that thecity nad bad along immunity | from the disease and that tuere was wuch | material for it to feed upon.

HAVANA, Cusa (via Key WEst, Fra.), Sept. 14.—At Los Palacios, Pinar del Rio | Province, thirty-two persons died .from bunger Saturday. The majority of the | population are starving, and crowd the streets demanding relief from the Span- ish authorities. Los Palacios before the war had at least 2000 inhabitants. Now there are not over 840. The same awiul condition existsover all Pinar del Rie. Reports trom the capitai | of the province are no less terrible. A | magistrate of the Audiencia (Judge of the Superior Court) writes thus to a iriend in Havana: 'Within a week all our resources will be | exhausted. Then I don't know how we will keep soul and body together.” | General Weyler is needless of the con- | dition of the desolated provin . In- stead of trying to medy the situation he has issued orders, which I have read, to destroy utterly in Santa Clara provinc: the towns ot La Sierra, Arimao, Las| Auras, San Anton, Los Guauos, ATriete | and Punta Gorda, all in the neighborhood of the city of Cienfuegos. The oniy reason he gives for this bar- | barity, which will leave homeless thou- | sands of people. 1s that the Spanish troops cannot defend thesa places against the | raids of the insurgents. At Tosca, Matarzas province, another | train has been blown up with dynamite, | armored cars being shattered by tbe ex- | plosion Ten Spanish soldiers were killed. The other cars were sacked by the | Cubans. A large number of cattle have been | seized by the insurgents near Bucnino, Santa Clara province.

Advised by President McKin- ley to Do So if Neces- sary. Other Matters of Conslderable Im- portance Consldered at the Meeting of the Cabinet. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 14.—The Cabinet meeting to-day, though prelonged, was more interesting for the subjects dis- cussed than for the matter which, with one exception, was taken up. Cuba and Hawaii were not mentioned, nor was the 10 per cent discriminating section of the tardl law relating to duty which has given rise to so much contention, The harbor project at San Pedro, Cal., Secretary Alger an- nounced that he had received the decision of the Attorney-General authorizing work to be commenced, but added that he had done nothing with the matter, owing to illness. He stated. however, that he would scon proceel to carry out the law and begin the building of the breakwater and the construction of the other im- provements. This decision met the ap- proval of the Fresident and the Cabinet, although there are still matters of detail to be satisfactorily arranged between the Secretary of War and Attorney-General. Secretary Alger laia before the Cabinet several telegrams appealing to him tosend suppiies as quickly as possible into the Kiondike region, owing to the distress which is now existing there. One of these d:spatches was from the citizens’ commit- tee at Tacoma, Secretary Alger said that he d:d not believe that the suffering was as great as had been represented, owing to the short time that bad elapsed since the throngs of gold-hunters began to in- vade the mining country, although, he added, he had no doubt that during the winter famire would threaten. Ordina- ly a call for relief to distressed citizens requires special legislation by Congress, | althouzh on one occasion President Cleve- land found a statute whick he applied to the case of some starving negro colo- nists in Texas. Under the circumstances, Congress not being in sessionand relief being apparently necessary, Secretary Al- ger was directed to take such action asin bis judgment was necessary. Later in the Jay be wired Senator Per- kins of California, who is interested in a line 10 Alaska, to know if it was feasible to forward 500 or 1000 tons of provisions 1o St. Michael, and have it thence trans- ferred to the Klondike region on sleds up the Yukon Valley. Some way will be founa to afford will be asked next winter to ratify ibe executive action. One important subject was disposed of. The Government will not take an appeal in the case of the Union Pacitic Railroad, the sale of which has been ordered by & decree of the Cigeuit Couriof the Eiguth Dustrict. This Union Pacific question was the cubject of considerable discussion after a large quantity of accumuiated depart- ment matter had been disposed of. The | matter had been brought to the attention i of | Kenna, who outlined the Cabinet by Attorney-General Mc- the present status and who rehearsed to his colieagues the 1a ks he bad recently had with the members of the Senate Sub-Com- mittee on Pacific Railroads. It is ex- pected that the formal announcement of the Government’s position wi.l be made within the next ten days, and that then there will ve no bar to the transfer of road | to ihe syndicate, which stands ready to | buy 1t and which has already deposited 7 $4,500,000 as a guarantee. WAR IN THE HILLS. Heavy Forces of Troops and Guns Prepared to HKove Against the Rebel Tribes. SIMLA, Ixpra, Sept. 14.—There are now 59,000 troops and ninety guns, including Mauxims, mobilized on the frontier and in the garrisons. Everything is ready for the advance from Shadaka The lower Mohmands on ihe border are anxious to submit on any terms, but the main body is still determined to fight. It is reported that the Mullah of Haddah has failed to raise the gathering he ex- pected and will retire to the Tirah. Fort Culistan is still hard pressed by theenemy. In asortie the garrison suc- ceeded in capturing three standards. The principal difficulty which the Mohmands punitive expedition has en- countered thus far is in getting stores and transportation animals to the front. The entire railway between Peshawur and Merut is practicaily blocked from lack of locomotives. Long lines of loaded trucks are waiting to be forwarded. Ail the trains are being used to hurry the troops to the front. General Yeatman-Biggs, advancing on the Samana ridge to the relief of Fort Gulistan, found the enemy entrenched in considerable force in the Gesera hills, The Third Gurka Regiment stormed the position. One Sepoy was killed aud five were wounded. General Yeatman- Biges relieved Sanger, one of the posts on the Samana ridge, which had been hotly attacked. A mounted messenger was sent out by General Yeaiman-Biggs to inform the garrison at Fort Gulistan tnat he was coming. Thecommander also sent guns to the 100t of the hills near Fort Guiistan, and shelled the enemy, and so diverted he attention from the fert. The enemy is visibie in strong force at Garaghari, and it is feared that, flusbed with tbeir suc- cess in the capture of that police post, they - may attack Fort Gulistan so fiercely that the small garrison will be KEW TOC-DAY.

The faultis attributed to | Naval Constructor Bowles of New York. He came here to see that the docking was properly done. Tue weight of the turrets was so great that the bottom sank enough to serious'v aifect the turret supports, The dock ofiicials say they have ducked British naval vessels much heavier than | the Indiana wit out trouble and that they regret the ecciaent to the Indiana because crilics in the United States will be disposed to throw the blame upon them and accuse them of purposely trying to cripple one of the best vessels in the navy. BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 14 —The Herald special from Halifax says that the dry- dock officials deny that the battle-ship Indiana was injured while in dock. It of the dock examined the ship inside and outside and reported that the bo'tom had not been damaged, and that no repairs were necessary. 1nspector Bowles also examined the ship and found no damage.

Two Girls and a Man Butchered With a Hatchet and Thrown Into an O!d Shaft. COLUMBUS, Kays, Sept. 14.—A story of crimes rivaling the deeds of the noto- rious Bender family comes to lightina murder trial now in progress here in the District Court. E4 and George Stefle- back, brothers, and "their mother, Mrs. George Wilson, are accused of the murder of uk Galbraith in June last at Galena, Kans. Tne ovidence is so direct that George Btafleback and his mother were speedily found guilty of murder in the first and second degrees respectively, and the trial of Ed Statleback is still in Pprogress. The family were keepers of a dive in Galena. Galbraith was shot to death and robbed in the place, following a quarrel with the mother and scns over the wo- man’s daughter. His body was thrown into an abandened mine shaft. Mrs. Cora Stafleback, wiie of George, and two other inmates of the house, gave tes- timony as to the facts of the murder, and from these witnesses evidence of another triple murder at Galena has been secared. Their story is that two girls irom Western Kansas were visited at the Wilson dive by an acquaintance. Mike Stafleback, another son of the Wilson woman, who is now in jail charged with burglary, became en- raged on account of iealousy and mur- dered the man and the two girls with a haichet. Their bodies were thrown into an abandoned shaft. At Galena a force of | men are pumpine out the shaft in an en- deavor to find the bodies of the other mur- dered persons. SHOL IN 4 BUXCAR. Young John Quinn Diws From Wounds Keceived at Fargo. FARGO, N. D., Sept. 14—John Quinn, who was shot in a boxcar last night, died soon after from his injuries. ‘The Coroner's inquest to-day developed that he and his partner, Wallis Duglas, tried to rob Joseph Schmwidt, a ycung Ger- man, who was asleep in the car. Schmidt fired with fatal effect. Quina died an hoar after being shot. He is about 18 and Duglas said was a son of Quinn, the hatter, on Third street, San Fraucisco. Both boys were under arrest in Moorhead, Minn., last week on suspicion of robbing a saloon. M. H.
