WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Advices re- ceived by Surgeon General Wyman up to 9 o'clock from Hampton show that the only change in the yellow fever sit- uation is the addition of four suspected cases to those already in existence. i e have been removed from the camp hospital.- This information and the ditional statement that there has not be 7 o'clock and n a death since 7 that everything with reference to the d is more than favorable, was re- ceived from Governor Woodfin of the Soldi Home. He also wired that he is quite sure the pestilence will be stamped out. A special to the Evening Star from Newport News says that Governor Woodfin at 10 o’clock to-day gave out the following official statement: “No new cases of yellow fever; no deaths; situation - practically under control.” The Star special adds that many of the best men in Newport News have volunteered and are on the quarantine | line, which has been more than trebled in the last forty-eight hour: Some difficulty in removing the troops from Fort Mon- | roe. Nong of the steamship companies will take them, and just at present no Government transports are available. Surgeon General Wyman made an- other vigorous protest against sending the troops to Battery Point, and ear- nestly recommended to the War De- partment the advisability them further north. The matter was again taken up with General Merritt, | who acceded to the request of Surgeon General Wyman. The garrison at Fort Monroe will be sent to some place fur- ther north than Battery Point, Del The location has not yet been fixed. Assistant Surgeon Von Ezedorf, the New Orleans expert, to-day reported to the Marine Hospital Service his arrival | at Norfolk, en route to Old Point and Hampton, where he will assist Drs, Pettus, Wasdin and White. Hospital Steward Kolb also reported for duty at Hampton. Acting Assistant Surgeon Frank Donaldson, an immune, was or- dered to report to Dr. White at Hamp- ton to help handle the outbreak in Phoebus. £ hg euel EXPERIMENTS MADE TO IDENTIFY THE GERMS WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—The medical world at present 1s very generally of the opinion that the specific bacillus has not yet been identified. Recently the announcement was made by San- arelli, an Italian scientist, that he had segregated the germ of yellow fever and this claim was later affirmed by a German bacteriologist after a some- what less exhaustive research. Surgeon General Sternberg of the army and isolated a bacillus, which he did not claim was the specific germ of yel- low fever, but one worthy of a closer calling it for convenienee the “bacillus X."” The Army Medical Museum under General Sternberg’s directions took up the subject, and Drs. Reed and Carroll recently issued a preliminary note on the museum’s investigation, in which they set forth that so far as deter- mined the bacillus of Sanarelli and the bacillus X of Sternberg were identical in their general forms and their effects on the lower animals, and that both seemed to be identical or very closely allied with the bacillus of hog cholera. Dr. Doty, the Health Officer at New York, claims to have confirmed Sana- relli's discovery, and is carrying on a series of curative experiments with a serum for the destruction of the ‘Sana- relll germ. The army medical officers say, however, that no germ which can stand a temperature of 361 degrees be- low zero can be the germ of yellow fever, which is known to cease its rav- ages on the appearance of frost. The Sanarelli germ was recently submerged in frozen air and came out ready for business: The report of Drs. Wasdin and Geddings of the Marine Hospital on their Cuban researches has not vet been made public, but it is under- stood that they agree with Sanarelii. MOLINEAUX IN COURT.

HONOLULU, July 2.—The best minds of the city are giving great attention to the labor question at the present time. P. C. Jones thinks that it would be a wise thing for the planters to employ some thoroughly competent person to study the matter up and present a renor upon it to the representative; planters. “The fact is,” said Mr. Jones this morn- ing, “the gentiemen interested in the plan- tations are too busy to make an exhaust ive study of the subject, but a clear re- port laid before them could be easily mas- tered and understood. Moreover, if there were any flaws in the report they would easily detect them. For this purpose no cheap man Is required.

It has been plain to every one that the penal clause would come to an end when the United States assumed full control, and_therefore many people had not interested themselves in it. When an- nexation was accepted the penal clause was by that acceptance doomed. |REDWOOD CITY WILL HAVE A PUBLIC PARK Native Daughters Take Up a Project | for the Beautifying of Califor- nia Square. | REDWOOD CITY, Aug. 2.—Redwood | City s to have a public park in reality.

ICHITA, Kan., Aug. 2—A courler arriving at Ei Reno, Okla- homa, t6-day from Cloud Chief reports that Taylor Kirk, a murderer and outlaw, was lynched at Cloud Chief last night by a crowd of infuriated citizens. . On July 4, near Cordell, Kirk murdered his sister be- cause she refused to attend a Fourth of July celebration with him. - He then forced another sister, who witnessed the crime, to swear it was suicide. Later the sister confessed and had Kirk arrested. Kirk broke jail and organized a gang of followers. Several at- temipts were made to capture him before he was taken in Texas last week and returned to the Cloud Chief jail. Sentiment against him was very strong there. Cloud Chief is fifty miles from a telegraph station and confirma- tion of the lynching cannot be received, but the report is credited here. 4040404040 +04010 g B404040+04 0+ 0+ 0 +040+0+0+0 404040404 040+ 040 +0+04 04 ALGER WELCOMED | COUNCILMEN T0 BY THOUSANDS | BE SUMMONED Ovation From Citizens|Action of Mazet Board of Detroit. of Inquiry.

It will go forth to the world, sir, a due notice that the standard of high character built up by patience and perseverance, honesty and uprightness cannot be thrown down by slander.” Governor John Pingree, in his speech read in behalf of the State, made some pointed references to the incidents re- lating to Alger's home-coming, and fired some characteristic shots at the newspapers, which, he asserted, were largely responsible. The Governor sald that Alger’s best service for his country was in his efficlent management of the War Department. General Alger, responding, said: “I can command no language to ex- press my gratitude to you for this royal welcome to my home. I am glad from the bottom of my heart to be released from official care and to again enter the old home and live among the people of Michigan. “Since I went away, two and a half years ago, as you know, the country has been through a terrible struggle. The office of which I was at the head was taxed to the utmost of every man’'s strength who occupled any position in it. I gave my best thought and honest effort and did everything I could to carry out my part of that great work. What has been done is a matter of rec- ord, and I am perfectly willing to rest the case with my countrymen.” The closing scene was a reception in the City Hall corridors. Mrs. Alger and scores of other ladies, with several of the general’s relatives, viewed the scene from a platform built into the main stairway and thousands pushed past and grasped General Alger’s hand. _—— ASKS FOR NO REDUCTION.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Agents of the Agricultural Department who are in Ger- many report increased activity.on the part of the agitators who are exerting their influence to curtail to the minimum the importation of American food prod- ucts into_ that country. ‘While these reports are not made pub- lic, it is known that they represent that greater effort than ever before will be made to secure from the next meeting of the Reichstag a statute providing for an Inspection by agents of the German Government of all American products which shall be so strict as to entirely ignore the certificates of American in- spection. The agitation is conducted principally by the Agrarians, and it is stated that the press is being used to quite an un- wonted eéxtent to create pubfic sentiment adverse to all American food articles. Esseclal attention is given to our beef, and liberal use is made of the testimony taken before the War Inyestigating Com- mittee -and the Beef Court of Inquiry. This agitation in itself has had the effect of reducing German consumption of our meat products, but the officlals here are not especially apprehensive of legisla- tion. P — . POPE DENOUNCES ITALY.

SA.T\ BARBARA, Aug. 2—A num- ber of Santa Barbara's leading men led an attack to-night on the oil der- ricks erected in front of fashionable residence property on the sea front at Miramar. For some time there has been a mad rush to place derricks along the beach fronting beautiful Montecito, and no one has dared interfere until to- night, when a party, led by Charles Fernald, Reginald Fernald, Carheron Rodgers and W. W. Burton, with ten men, went down to Miramar with two large trucks and tools to tear down a large derrick that had been erected quletly to-day. The men began working at 10 o’clock and at 11:30 had rucceeded in bringing ground. Beside the derrick there were a complete set of well-boring tools, an engine for the required power and & carpenter shop. Before the night is| over all these will be lying along the county road, for, as fast as they are torn down they are put upon the truck and hauled to the county road. The persons who erected the derrick are not known to the owners of the property which it faces. Several prop- erty-owners at Summerland led just such an attack against derricks erected by the Southern Pacific on the beach of Snmmerland a year ago, and the company took no legal steps to prose- cute them. The derrick torn down to- night is an unusually large one, a plat- form upon which it rests being twenty feet square and the derrick forty-five feet high. At 11:30 o’clock the men were working hard and still on the lookout for an attack. They are armed and deter- mined to put up a fi ht if need be.
