ads that all ports and customs re-

This order was not intended to work
a hardship to the Spanish troops or:
government, but it was thought best
to arrange a definite time to end the
Spanish rule and to begin operatiOns
under the United States. It is proba-
ble that the United States troops will
go to Cuba before that time.
By December 1 it is expected to have
troops so stationed that there will be
no need of Spanish troops to preserve
order.

’ Pal 1s, Oct. 12.—A sensation was caus-
ed here at yesterday’s auction sale of
.the house and furniture of Emile Zola,
to satisfy a judgment of 30,000 francs
obtained against him by Dreyfus case
handwriting experts. '
The sale was ordered to take place,
in spite of the facts that the late 'Lieu—
tenant Colonel Henry confessed to hav«
ing forged a letter instrumental in
bringing about the conviction of Drey-
fus, which sustained the attitude as-
sumed by M. Zola toward the hand-
writing experts, and although M. Oc—
tave Mirabeau offered to be responsible
for the amount.
However, the friends of M. Zola, who‘
were present, ran up the bidding 011
the first article, 21 Louis X walnut ta-
ble, which was originally bought for
120 francs, to 32,000 francs, thus pro-
ducing the amount required and stop-
ping the sale.

tivities arranged by the Cubans to cel-
ebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the
- declaration of independence, were post-
poned until October 17 on account of
the continuous rain.
The city, hoWever, was gayly deco-

ited the cemetery and placed flowers
on the monuments e1 ected to the mem—
01y of Marti and Cespedes.
A few speeches were made last night
from the San Carlos Club, the princi-
pal speaker being Senor Trujillo and
Dr. Prias. The latter was the agent of

Both claimed that they were satisfied
with the situation and confident that
within two years Cuba Libre will be an
accomplished fact.

" GREAT-SBRITAINAANDFRANCE. ‘
B‘e Settled Pencefully, ‘ e _
Paris; Oct. 12 .——The Gaulois, referring
to the publication of the Fashoda blue
book by the Br'itiSh forei office, ex-
presses confidence in a satisfactory set-
tlement of the matter. , .
On the other hand, the Jour says the
“The language of the Marquis of Sails»
bury, Lord Cromer, and the Sirdar re-
moves the last illusions of the most
optimistic.”
The. Journal ~de Paris affirms that the
documents made public in the blue
book do not establish the right of Great
B11ta1n to the region which France oc-
cupies.
The Justice expresses the opinion
that Great Britain, instead of facili-
tating the negotiations, evidently aims
at forcing the situation.
The Libre Parole says: “Great Bri-
tain has suddenly unmasked her bat-
teries, doubtless after an understand-
ing with'her good friends the Drey—
fusasds, and she evidently deems the
moment has .come to strike what she
supposes to be a decisive blow. The
precipitate publication of the docu-
ments was an act of rudeness and men-
ace.” . ,
The Eclair says: “We have always
protested against Great Britain's idea
that the whole basin of the Nile was
.lncluded in Egyptian or British influ-
ence, and we persist in our theory,
which is confirmed by the treaty of
Berlin, that'effective occupation alone
confers the right of possession. Great
Britain now seeks to change the inter-
national rules, but the right is on our
side, and we hope our diplomatists will
compel respect for it.”
The Figaro says: “We have been
literally subjected to an ultimatum
threatening war on the Marchand
qugstion. The ultimatum was in the
pocket of the British ambassador or
on his lips. ‘Fortunately the document
was not produced and the word was
not spoken. We should be grateful for
the skill of M. Delcasse, the minister-
of f01eign affairs, in preventing the de-
livery of the ultimatum, and to the
honesty and uprigh‘tness of the British
ambassador in a critical juncture. "
THE INDIAN TROUBLES.

Minneapolis, Oct. 12. —General Bacon

Seattle, VVash., Oct. 12.—The beologi-

PRESIDENT RECEIVES‘AN OVATION.
Crowds gTurn Out to See Lthe Chief Ex-
: l cuiive.
Clinton, Oct. 12.—The president’s
journey from Chicago to the Mississip-
pi river yesterday
ovation. Since he was elected Presi-
dent McKinley has "never until now
travelled west of Chicago, and the im-
mense crowds at the stations along the
Northwestern road showed the apprei
ciation of the people for the opportu-
nity of seeing their chief magistrate.
Even at the smallest stations good
sized crowds were in waiting whose
only hope of' reward was the possibil-
ity of a passing glance at the president
as the train swept by.
.The first stop was made at Dekalb at
9.05, and here the president spoke a
few words in response to the crowd’s
enthusiastic welcome.
“It was no part of the programme,"
said Mr. McKinley, “that I should be
welcomed by the people .of Dekalb at
this hourpof the morning, but I appre-
ciate your generous welcome and share
with you in congratulation to our coun-
try and to your army and navy for the
successful issues of the last four
months. I am sure there never has
been a time in our history when patri-
otism has been more marked or more
universal than it is to-day, and the
same high purpose which character—
ized the conduct of the people in the
war will influence and control them ill
the settlement of peace.“

Washington, D. C., Oct. 12. —The re~
ports to the Marine hospital service
show that the yellow fever in the south
is steadilv increasing
The officials state that the increase
in the fever list is likely to be contin-
need until cold weather sets in, and this
is thought still to be at least three
weeksoff in the region that is most
affected. '
The dispatches received here report
the total number of cases in Mississi pi
to be 470, with 36 deaths since the epi-
demic broke out. Yellow fever was re-
ported to have occurred at Lake
Charles in Louisiana, in a dispatch
from Dr. Edmond Sushan of New Or-
leans.
At Franklin, La, there are 28 new
cases and no deaths.
Following are the Mississippi reports
of new cases for yesterday:
Jackson; two white cases, one negro,

Paris Strike Grows.
PariseOct. 12.—In spite of optimistic
predictions of the end of the strike be-
in g near, the strike continues to spread.
The bricklayers and wood carvers yes-
terday decided to join the strikers and
quit work.
The city, however, is perfectly quiet,
but the enormous increase in the
strength of the garrison points to the
fact that the government fears. politi-
cal rather than labor troubles.
The strikers’ central committee is a
political and revolutionary organiza-
tion, and it is engineering the dispute
as if it were a strike of the proleta-
rians.
No conflict between the soldiers and
the strikers has occurred up to the pre-
sent. .
Not since 1870 has Paris looked so
warlike. A number of young men of

SHERIDAN AT THEMILLINER’S. T
His Gallantry to an American \Vnman in
Paris During the Commune.
General Sheridan as be lc>e came old-
er, conquered his sl; 3.11ess. :At the
time of the commune he was in Paris _
with his aidefde-camp. There was also
stopping at the same hotel a charm-
ing American’woman with whom he
was slightly acquainted. The prison-
ers had been liberated and were rush-
ing madly through the streets. 'The
order had also been given that all win-
dows and shutters must be kept
closed. Shut in her dark room and
hearing the noisy rabble below, the
woman became greatly alarmed.
“There is but one thing for me to
do," she cried, “to insure safety. 1
will put myself under the care of the
American general.”
She, therefore, sent her card to
Sheridan, who at once called» and of-
fered his services. He also advised
that she should join his party in the
morning and get away to London.
Still she appeared distressed. Finally
she cried: “It is my bonnets at Vi-
rot’s. They were to have been down
to-day. How can I go and leave
them?”
The general grasped the situation
and olfered his'arm to escort her to
the milliner’s. Happily, it was not
far off. Ever afterward he delighted
to tell of his pleasure at seeing such
an array of dainty headgear. He had
never been .at a milliner’s before.—

Chris Rath, who hanged the murder-

fact has been suppressed so often I

markable control of her emotions. She

stances and gave way only in the
solitude aof "her cell. She never fal-
tered as she was led to the gallov'vs

but her heart "gave way under the
