iii" YELLOW PLAGUE.
There Are Now Ten Cases of the Dread
Fever In New Orleans.
ONLY ONE DEATH REPORTED
Several Suspicious Cases, However. Arr
Being Closely Watched—Young Per-
sons the Sole Victims — The
Quarantine Everywhere.
New Orleans, Sept.‘15.—No new cases.
of yellow fever were reported here to-
day. Several suspicious cases, how-
ever, are being watched. The board of
health issues its official bulletin only at
1 o’clock and acts solely on the report
of the board of experts. Apparently
there has been no spread of the disease
since last night, and no death has oc-
curred, though it is feared that at least
one of the St. Claude street cases will
prove fatal. The total number of cases
up to date is 11, and there has been 1
death.
Dr. Me-tz is quoted as saying that he
looks for the appearance of 10 or 12
cases in different parts of the city.
Even if that number should appear he
thinks the authorities can wipe out the
disease with modern scientific appli-
ances and the close attention that is
given to each case.
In its bulletins the board of health
does not, as a rule, mention the names
of patients or of the physicians attend-
ing, giving as a reason that to do so
would unnecessarily advertise the sick
and the physicians who are attending
them.
As an evidence of the falling off of
business, the Northeastern railway to-
day ordered off two trains. These trains .
were allowed to stop at very few points
in Mississippi and were able to do but
little business. The Southern Pacific
also took off two trains today. The
Louisville and Nashville several days
ago reduced its number.
The regular report of the board of
health shows the general health of New
Orleans to be excellent, with a death
rate of 1846 among the white popula-
tion and of 19.73 among the negroes.
There is very little fever in town out-
side the cases of yellow jack already re-
ported. Investigation of the statistics
shows that the yellow fever that has
thus far appeared in New Orleans has
attacked only very young persons. No
case of a matured man or woman hav-
ing the disease has been reported.
Plans of Refugees.
Small parties of persons continue to
leave the city over the Louisville and
Nashville, bound for Atlanta. After
reaching Atlanta many will make ar-
rangements to go farther, and as they
will then register from the Georgia cap—
ital they do not expect to encounter
many difficulties in reaching their
points of destination.
The federal troops at the Jackson
barracks were packed into close coach-
es and started on their way for Chat-
tanooga. They are to encamp in Chick-
amauga. Chattanooga has, however,
quarantined against New Orleans.
No attempt has yet been made to
stop traffic by the steamships between
New Orleans and New York, and freight
was received as usual. Hundreds of
tons of freight, however, which has
been packed and shipped to the different
railroad depots has been refused. Iron
is not a germ carrier, but a leading
hardware establishment announced that
even shipments of hardware to Ala-
bama points were being declined.
The whole Mississippi coast west of
Mississippi City is now patrolled day
and night by shotgun squads. A per—
son who escaped from Ocean Springs in
a ca-tboat landed somewhere in close
proximity to Bay St. Louis beach, but
was chased off at the point of the
musket.
He put off to sea and has not since
been heard of. Another man tried to
run the quarantine at the Mississippi
state line. The guards blazed away at
him four times. Greenville and Natchez
have both ordered out shotgun squads
and have decided to lock themselves
up until frost comes. Reports from
various towns that have quarantined
say that people are already beginning
to suffer for want of provisions and
other supplies.

WEEKLY
THE NICARAGUA CANAL ? KLONDIKILAARDSHIPS.
Its Relation to‘Panama Project Ex-
plained by an Expert.
FOR AMERICAN INTERESTS.
The, Obstacles In the Direction of the
Nicaraguan Route, According to Mr.
Smith, Are Slight —- The Expan-
sion of Our Commerce.
Washington, Sept. 15. —Joseph P.
Smith, director of the bureau of Ameri-
can republics, has taken up the subject
of isthmian canals in connection with
his series of written articles on trade.
relations in America. In the current
number of the monthly publication of
the bureau Mr. Smith presents a map
to show the distances to be saved by a
ship canal across the isthmus of Pana-
ma, and in an accompanying article
expresses some opinions in regard to
the proposed Nicaragua. canal. His ob-
ject in'referring to the projected Pana-
ma canal is to show that, if completed,
it would not operate to the interests
of the American republics. The ob-
stacles in the way of building the Ni-
caragua canal he regards as insignifi-
cant.
Referring at length to the history of
the Panama canal project, Mr. Smith
conclude-s: “The undertaking has been
conducted mainly under French aus-
pices, and the money expended upon it
has been subscribed almost entirely in
France. If ever completed, the Pana—
ma. canal would be a purely commercial
enterprise, under European control, with
little or no value or significance in its
political relation to the countries of the
western hemisphere, except, perhaps, of
a. hostile and even minatory character.
It would certainly not be expected to
play a part in drawing closer the bonds
of amity and fraternity among them.
It would be concerned only with gain-
ing the largest possible share of ship-
ping tolls from the commerce of the.
world, and not at all, except indirectly,
with developing the trade of the Ameri-
can republics among themselves.”
Not So i“’ith Nicaragua.
Director Smith believes that it is
otherwise with the Nicaragua canal.
“Indeed,” he continues, "the principal
claim which this enterprise has to con-
sideration is the undoubted fact that it
is American in origin and American in
beneficial results. Its cause before the
world has been apparently weakened
rather than strengthened by the
effort to give too wide a sphere to
its possible usefulness and thereby
commend it to European investors as a
great earner of dividends. Its richest
dividends are to be found in the general
results, political as well as commercial,
which would accrue to the countries
immediately interested, and not in re-
turns to individual stockholders. It is
not to be inferred, however, that it
would be unremunerative even from
the ordinary business point of view.
The elaborate calculations which have
been made to show that it would not
earn fair interest on the capital re-
quired have been based upon conditiOns
as they now exist, without taking into
proper account the great increase in
the trade of the countries immediately
benefited which might reasonably be
expected to follow.
“It is not as a money making project,
but as a great intercontinental agency,
that the Nicaragua canal appeals most
powerfully t0 patriotic minds in all the
Latin American countries as well as in
the United States. Built by American
capital, with the active aid and support
of all the American governments and
operated and controlled by American
agencies, how could it fail to become
immensely useful in the great task of
welding together the common interests
of all America in trade, in political de—
velopment and in the power of resist-
ance of any common foe from without?
Great Britain's Position.
“The Clayton-Bulwer treaty between
the United States and Great Britain has
been used as an argument against the
possibility of such effective control, but
if that treaty be still a vital force it is
scarcely to be supposed that Great
Britain, after having rormally acceded
to our most recent interpretation of the
Monroe doctrine asserting the inde-
pendence of American interests from all
European interference or control, would
seek again to jeopardize her relations
with the United States by seriously
combating an enterprise which so obvi-
ously has the interests of both the west-
ern continents to serve. Nor is it clear
that anything material would be lost
to American progress and development
even if the neutrality of the canal for
which the. Clayton—Bulwer treaty pro-
vides be guaranteed afresh.”
Mr. Smith makes reference to the work
which has been begun by the board of
survey recently appointed by President
McKinley. “Their report,” he says,
“will doubtless determine definitely the
route of the canal and the probable cost
of the work. What assistance, if any,
will be given by the government of the
United States to the construction. of the
canal is of course a matter which con-
gress must finally decide. But it seems
clear, first, that a canal across the isth-
mus by the most practicable route is
the great international necessity of the
time; and, second, that it should be
built with the active sympathy and co-
operation of all American republics as
a means of intercontinental development
and progress.” .
The Bank of Spain.
Madrid, Sept. 15.—-The positio of the
Bank of Spain continues greatl , to con-
cern commercial circles, owin' to its
immense note circulation. Paris ex-
change has reached 31.50, the highest on
record. As the bank has lent the state
150,000,000 pesetas (about $30,000,000), re-
payable without interest in 1920, its af-
fairs would become critical in the event
of the bank’s incurring heavy losses on
loans.
The Sick Luetgert Juror.
Chicago, Sept. 15.—Juror Fowler, 'wfhose
illness yesterday caused an adjourn~
ment of the Luetgert murder trial, was
much improved today and will, his
physician says, be able to attend tomor-
row’s session. Luetgert spent a quiet
day in jail, receiving few callers, but
being apparently in the best of humor.
Murdered by Italians.
Geneseo, N. Y., Sept. 15.—Philip Gib-
bons, a farmer of Livonia, was mur-
dered by two Italians during a 'quarrel.
Both Italians have been captured.
A Man Who Knows Tells Something

A CAMP AT SULPHUR CREEK.
Reported Discovery of Deposits of Excep-
tional Richness There—A Gold Claim
In the Business Center of an '
Important City.
Seattle, Wash., Sept. 14.—Among the
various reports of hardship from Skag-
guay, one of the most vivid descriptions
of the trail is given by J. M. Hagerty,
who writes in part as follows:
Less than $4,000 would make a wagon
road from Dyea to the head of the can-
yon, but one bridge would have to be
built at the canyon, where the first per-
ceptible climb and the first mud are en-
countered. The trail from Camp Pleas-
ant to Sheep Camp is fairly good, an
average of about 500 feet elevation with
no sharp pitches.
Sheep Camp is 15 miles from Dyea,
and the character of the country sud-
denly changes and becomes more rough
and rocky. Mountain torrents keep up
a continual music. There is scarcely
any soil or timber from there to the
summit.
There were not many people camped
on Lake Bennett. only those who had
come over the Skagguay trail, about 20
in number, and only one complete out-
fit had got through on Sept. 1, that of
Robert Cahel and wife.
Detective W. H. Walsh, who was the
first man to break through the trail,
only had a part of his outfit, and it was
scattered from there to the summit.
Expensive Outfits.
What he had got through had cost him
60 cents a pound.
the same fix, their supplies being scat-
tered all along the trail.
The trail over the summit is just 1,000
feet higher than had been claimed for
it and 200 feet higher than the Chilkat
pass.
At the third hill we found over 200
people camped where there was room
for only about 20, and in a district of a
mile and a half over 1,000, and as many
horses, mules, burros, bulls and oxen.
Not one packer in 50 on the Skagguay
trail knows how to pack an animal, and
half of them never had anything to do
with a horse before. .
Near the third bridge we met Mrs. .M.
L. Wommack of Seattle, formerly of
Butte, Mon. She started for the Klon-
dike las-t March by way of Dyea and
Chilkat trail, got her stuff all on Lake
Bennett and then received word of the
sickness of her children in Seattle. She
sold out her outfit and returned there,
arranged to have them cared for and
started again.
On her first trip she was accompanied
by another woman, Mrs. Smith, and two
babies. Mr. Smith has a claim on B0-
nanza creek and sent for his wife and
babies, but Mrs. Wommack helped her
to bury both of them on the trip before
she got to Lake Bennett.
No road over this pass can be made
to compete with the Chilkat as a trail,
though it may as a railroad proposition,
as the grade is more gradual from this
side.
The steamer Portland got away for
St. Michael’s with a big cargo, consist-
ing principally of machinery for four
steamers which are to be constructed
by Moran Bros. at St. Michael’s next
winter. On the Portland’s forward deck
was a maxim rapid firing gun which
can be made to fire 300 cartridges,
weighing a pound, per minute. Secre-
tary Hamilton of the North American
Trading and Transportation company
was on board. Inside the captain’s cab-
in are a dozen new rifies, which will be
used, if need be, to protect the treasure
which the Portland will bring down
from the Yukon mine.
Sulphur Creek Now.
Sulphur creek, a branch of Dominion
creek, which is a tributary of the In-
dian river, is the scene of the latest gold
eXcitement on the Klondike. From ac-
counts of the new district brought dOWn
on the schooner South Coast, it seems
that the new diggings will rival even
the famous Bonanza and El Dorado.
Gold was found just below the surface
running $34 to the pan. The men took
out $300 in a day by simply prospecting
their claim. A stampede followed the
reports of the new find, which reached
Dawson City Aug. 13. In a week 500 men
had crossed the mountains between El
Dorado creek and Dominion creek. They
traveled day and night, and in two
weeks the whole stream was staked
out. This information, the first au-
thentic story of Sulphur creek, was giv-
en out today by John E. Light of Chi-
cago. He left Dawson City on the
steamer Bella Aug. 18. He owns a
claim on Sulphur creek. He says:
“When I first heard of the strike on
Sulphur creek, I went over the moun-
tains to investigate it. I spent one day
with two brothers, the McKinnon boys
of Wellington, B. C. I saw them take
out $300 in one day from simply sinking
two prospect holes. The formation is
the same as at El Dorado, and Sulphur
creek bears the same relation to Do-
minion as does El Dorado to Bonanza,
The streams empty into the Indian
river. Of course when the news of the
new discovery reached Dawson City
there was a great stampede, and hun-
dreds left the Klondike for Sulpher
creek. It is now all staked out.”
Gold Claim In a City.
Victoria, B. C., Sept. 14.—Charles Hay-
wood and other prominent citizens have
staked off a claim in the heart of the
city. They say they have good specimens
of rock from a ledge which runs from
the water front through the business
portion of Victoria. '
Torpedo Boat Men Scalded.
Washington, Sept. 14.—Act-ing Secre-
tary Roosevelt of the navy has received
a. dispatch from Commodore Dewey
concerning the accident to the machin-
ery as a result of which the torpedo
boat Rodgers failed to ’ake contract
speed. Six members of the crew re-
ceived scalds by escaping steam and
Engineer Edwards was badly burned.
Nicaragua to Investigate.
Managua. Nicaragua, Sept. 14.——The

GAPOTB CUBA’S PRESIDENT.
The Report. of Masso’s Election Turns
Out to Have Been Incorrect.
New York. Sept. 14.—The Ward line
steamer Seneca. arrived from Havana
today and brought confirmation of the
report that Brigadier General Mendez
Capote has been elected president of
the Cuban republic, and not General
Masso.
The election is held every two years,
and, despite the fact that Masso was
strongly indorsed by Gomez, Capote was
successful. President Cisneros was a
candidate for re—election, but his age
was against him.
Capote was born in Cardenas in 1863
and graduated from the University of
Havana, and for years was the profess-
or of law in that institution. He joined
the insurgents near Cardenas in De-
cember, 1895, and served under the lead-
ership of General Gomez.
General Capote was in the attack on
Havana that was made shortly after
his enlistment and distinguished him-
self by his coolness and daring. He was
soon afterward made civil governor of
Matanzas and later of Las Villas. He
held both positions at the time of his
election.
Though choice of General Capote over
Masso, the declared preference of Gen-
eral Gomez, would indicate that there is
some dissension among the voters, the
Cubans in this city do not attach any
importance to the fact. They declare
he is a man of great ability and vast
energy and say that his election is
one of the most important events that
have taken place in the war riven is-
land for some time.
It is enthusiastically forecasted that
he will bring the war to an end within
the next year.
Japan’s New Battleship Ordered.

Sensational Confession of a Crime In l
Georgia -—The Sherin‘ Surprised.
Columbus, Ga.,Sept. 14.-—Edgar Strip-
ling, a well known planter of this sec-
tion, has caused the greatest excite-
ment around here by accusing himself
of the murder‘ of William S. Cornet.
Cornet- was killed late last Friday night
near Chipley. Stripling was one of the
jurors impaneled by the coroner to fer-
ret out the guilty party.
Sheriff Bowles found Stripling await-
ing him at his home today.
“Well, sheriff,” said Stripling, as he
pulled out his watch, “it is now noon.
I had almost despaired of your coming.
I have information which will enable
you to arrest the murderer.”
The sheriff was overjoyed. He want-
ed to insist upon Stripling giving his
information while they would take
luncheon together, but the young plant-
er declined.
“Is it then a case where we must get
to work at once?“
“No,” replied Stripling, who showed
no trace of emotion whatever. “I will
have lunch later in another place.
Bowles, I am the man who shot Cornet.
“Yes; I did it. I killed him because
he insulted my sister. I shot him as he
sat in his home. I tracked him there,
and I directed my aim by the shadow
his body cast upon the window blind.
I killed him, and I don’t regret it. I in-
tended never to mention it to any one,
but that was not because I feared any-
thing so much as it was that 1 did not
want my sister’s name mentioned in
connection with his. ‘,
“You know the rest. You asked me
to go on the coroner's jury. I went,
and I took the oath to do my duty.
That’s what brought me here today. It
isn’t regret for having shot Cornet; it’s
because of the oath I took.”
The sheriff was dumfounded, and
his first thought was that Stripling was
suffering from some form of dementia.
He suggested that they see a physician,
but'Stripling only laughed. He and the
sheriff had been friends since boyhood,
and Bowles could not believe that
Stripling had committed the crime even
when he reiterated his former state-
ment and insisted that he was the mur-
derer.
”I am perfectly rational,” said Strip-
ling. “I did not come here to confess
just for the sake of being arrested. I
have confessed. You may do as you
like. I avenged my sister’s honor. You
have the whole story.”
There was nothing the sheriff could
do except to take his man to jail. The
prisoner is one of the most popular men
in the town and an influential politi-
cian.
THE CONWAY KIDNAPINGf
Trial of the Alleged Conspirators to Be-
gin Next Wednesday.
Albany, Sept. 15.—Joseph M. Hardy
and Henry G. Blake, the kidnapers of
little Johnnie Conway, were arraigned
in the county court today before Judge
Gregory to plead to an indictment
found against them by the grand jury
for kidnapihg. The prisoners, who
were flanked by court officers, appeared
nervous and ill at ease. The indict-
ment. as read by District Attorney
Burlingame, charged them, in conjunc-
tion with another (Warner, the arch
conspirator), with having kidnaped
from his home one John Conway on
Aug. 16 last. Hardy, who appeared to
be the cooler of the ’two, entered a plea
of not guilty, while his colleague in
crime, Blake, asked the court to grant
his'further time to consider his plea.
The court gave him until Thursday to
make up his mind. Hardy’s trial was
set down for Wednesday next, the 22d
inst. Not having money to hire coun-
sel, at his own request the court as-
signed P. C. Dugan. The district at-
torney gave Blake to understand that
his trial would be moved at the same
time, provided he decided to enter a
plea of not guilty.

Hohenlohe’s Retirement.
Berlin, Sept. 13.—According to the

question of a successor to Prince Hohen-
lobe was mooted merely because of his
age. Count von Hatzfeldit has prac-
tically been chosen to succeed the prince
in the event of his retirement.
Her Third Failure.

Crushed to Death.
Toronto, Sept. 13;—-Windell H. Ord-
Way, manager of the Noah’s ark, which

sat on a buffer smoking, when a. shift-
ing engine pushed the end of the train
Ordway was thrown from his seat and
