New Orleans, Oct. 10. The fever sit

cases appeared In various pot lions of
the cily, many of them, however, be
ing reported In houses wheie there was
already infection. There were several
deaths, nnd in one os" the fatality

In Carrollton, which, iclatlvo to popu

than any locality In the city. Miss
Carrie Gceker, who died today, was
only reported III yesterday. Tonight
her mother was announced to have

city for the past twenty-four hours.
Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 10. Consider
able alarm was caused here in the past
twenty-four hours by the report that
a mnllcarrlor named Stebblns had died
of yellow fever. After examination to
day an order was issued announcing
that Stebblns' death was due to pois

There Is no reason to suppose that
there is an.v yellow fever in town.
Galveston, Tex.. Oct. 10. Dr. Gult

his diagnosis. The opinion of a ma

is no yellow fever at Galveston, but a
type of dengue fever has existed for
the past sixty days; that there have
been fifteen thousand cases of dengue
and not n single death.
BEHIND GEORGE'S CAMPAIGN.
Dnngor of the Movement Pointed Out
by .11 r. Wuttcrson.
Louisville, Ky Oct. 10. In the Courier
Journal yesterday morning Mr. Walter
son points out to the country tho threat In
the Henry George campaisn for mayor
of New York. He shows that Mr. George
embodies all that ls revolutionary, In thn
Chicago platform. After declaring that
tho self governing i rlnciple is now as dis
tinctly on trial as It was In Franco a hun
dred years ago, ho says:
"Another century has passed and, turn
ing from tho lessons of tho reign of terror
of Franco to the results of the victory for
civil and religious liberty In America, what
do wo see? Wo see that liberty threatened
by the license which ingulfed tho French;
we see all that was achieved by tho wis
dom and moderation of tho fathers of the
American revolution menaced by the lineal
descendants of the fathers of the llelgn
of Terror. In Governor Altgeld, behold
Ilobesplerro; In Tillman, Danton: In Henry
George, a possible reproduction of that
Incisive writer and humane philosopher
who, maddened by too much brooding
over tho wrongs of man, became tho
bloody Marnt.
"Ilobesplerro, Danton and Marat oper
1 ated upon a limited territory: Paris was
E France. But modern Invention has abol
Alshed time and space, has concentrated
population so that the torch which lights
Chicago may readily Ignite New York.
Kxcept for a firm hand at Washington,
the havoc of property In Chicago threo
years ago would soon have deepened Into
a havoc of men, and the appetite for
blood once started, nothing short of mili
tary absolutism and martial law could
have stayed the hands of organized riot
embracing In thtlr grasp every populous
center In tho land.
"That parties are In a fluid statu ought
to be by this time clear to the simplest
mind, but In Greater New York we nave
sef up on u single stage and placed in
full view of tho audience a vltascopo Il
lustration which admits of no possible mis
understanding. The mlhtt en t-ccne Is but
1 a fao almllo In mlnlaturo of the whole
I country, Tho dramatis personau are but
models, from which countless reproduc
tion will be made.
"There we" see organized democracy, led
by Tjammany, striving to regain posses
sion,! and organized Republicanism, led by
Platn striving to hold Its own. On either
hand Wo unknown quantities appear the
conservative rich, led by Seth how; the
radical poor, led by Henry George. Was
ever a political contest In France or Spain
more permeated by contrawlso, counsels,
,more emphasized by rival ambitions'.'
? "in the end It Is tolerably certain thut
Jfew of the promises made will be ie
deemed, and none of the hopes realized,
oxcept lhono that aie personal to tho ac
tual victors lu the fray. Hut tho vote
cast wilt mean a great deal, because,
though never o Inconclusive In Itself, It
will Indicate with a certain degree of ac
curacy the strength of parties and have
besides u tale of tendencies to tell,
"Outside of New York and It is here
that wo In Kentucky are most concerned
what dc we see',' Wo see the free sliver
extremists overywhro Inclining to George,
though George says ho lb not for flee nil.
ver In splto of thn fact that he stands on
a free silver p'jitfonn, nnd represents not
a regular nomination, but a bolt,
"What docs this mean? It means simply
that, falling to get free sliver, the next
hand to be played by the tree sllverltes Is
flat money. Hack of that money stand the
rest of Mr. George's Utopian thcorles-the
abolition of property In land through the
single tax theory, tho public ownership
of railways, telegraphs nnd benevolent
Institutions, free trade by agrarian proc
ess, and a completely centralized, paternal
nvtrnment."
CHtCAdO BREWERS WAR OVERPRICES
Capacity Tor Manufacture Ptcctds
Dcmnnd.
Chicago, 111., Oct. 10. A beer war Is now
on here that threatens to test the endur
ance of the brewers, for prices have been
cut from $5 to $3 per barrel, and the figure
may go even lower than that.
The trouble Is that thoru Is In Chicago u
capacity for the manufacture of 10,000,000
barrels of beer and a sale for only 3,000.000
barrels. The cut was made by the Chicago
and Milwaukee Brewers' association after
a careful survey of tho situation.
It made, no attempt to regulate prices,
but sought to prevent each linn from tak
lag any other linn's customers. Any
brewer making moro than his pcrccntago
alotment turned $3 per barrel on alt sur
plus Into tho association each month. Any
brewer who made less than his nllotment
drew out ?3 per barrel for each barrel he
was short.
The clause In the agreement forbidding
any brewer to tako tho customers of an
other did not apply as against a brewer
outside of tho association. This finally
furnished a loophole whereby tho mem
bers of the association avoided the agree
ment. Outsiders were enabled, through
tho connivance of these members, to sell
beer to customers of another member at
very low prices, and It was to fight theu
"pirates" that tho members of the Oj.o
elation In good standing began U cut
prlres.
At the present time It costs about ?4.fO
per barrel to make beer, as the brewers
have to stand an additional tax of "
cents per barrel, and this, with tho ad
vancing prlco of materials has increased
tho cost of manufacture 40 to GO cents per
barrel within a year. The cost, however,
will havo nothing to do with the sellng
price, and In the present dangerous con
dition of affairs there Is no telling whero
It will go.

BARRIOS MEETS
SUDDEN REVERSES
Guatemalan Rebels Administer De
cisive Blows to the Government,
Capturing Important Towns.
New York.Oct. 10. A special from Santa
Ana to the Herald says:
Just at the moment when It seemed
certain that Dictator Harriott, of Guate
mala, would triumph over his enemies
and end the rebellion there, news comes
which shown decided nnd unexpected re
verses for tho government forces. Now
It is predicted on all sides that the Bar
rios government will certainly fall with
in a short time.
This sudden change In tho aspect of tho
situation is due largely to the fact that
Joso Leon Castillo, who was one of tho
candidates for president of Guatemala,
has contrived, despite the efforts of tho
Salvadorean government, to Invade Guat
emala from Salvador with a largo force
and capture tho elites of Jutiapa nnd
CuaJInlqullupa.
According to the reports received hero
Castillo met with llttlo resistance from
the forces guarding tho cities, and Is now
lu undisputed possession. Ho Is accom
panied by Roscudo Santa Cruz und Pedro
Barillas. These cities are nearer to tho
capital of Guatemala than uny others
ever held by the rebels, and It is believed
thnt the Insurgents will soon move
against the city of Guatemala.
Rebels Defeated nt Totonicnpnn.
Gautcmala, Guatemala, via Galveston,
Tex., Saturday. Tho long expected battia
commenced yesterday around Totonicnpnn
at half-past eleven o'clock In tho morning,
and continued until sundown. From tho
constant and heavy artillery lire from both
sides tho carnage must have been great.
The government forces opened tho at
tack with artillery, the enemy returning
the llro from the summit of Tierra Blanco,
with threo pieces of artillery. General
Ovalle, with great dlfllculty and bravery,
and under a thick fire from the rebels, oc
cupied the plains of Tierra Blanca, forcing
the rebels to fall back on Coxhom, pursued
by the Jnlspa troops. In tho retreat tho
rebels left ono piece of artillery,
Comander Taracena has occupied posi
tions on San Francisco do Alto, and re
ports fighting between Ollntepeque and
SIJa and Salcaja and Quezaltenango. The
number of killed and wounded has not yet
been reported.
An official war bulletin yesterday an
nounced an Invasion In the east from tho
Salvadorean frontier by Jose Leon Cas
tillo, Pedro Barillas and Itoscndo Santa
Cruz, rebel leaders. They attacked tho
town of Jerez, but marched on and took
Yuplltepeque. They utempted the cap
ture of Jutiapa, but, ncording to official
reports, were repulsed. Other advices,
however, say that Jutiapa was captured.
The government now has 24,000 men and
thirty-eight pieces of artillery in defensive
and offensive action.
A train load of volunteers was sent lrom
this city to San Jose, where they will take
a steamship for Champerlco. Late last

EXCELLENT PROMISES FOR CUBA
l'rcmicr Sngasta Says Cuba Shall
llnvo a Model Govcrnmcnt--.Nitun-tion
in tho Philippines Serious.
Spain Is Hard Pressed Tor Money
Madrid, Oct. 10. The cabinet today
held a four hours' session, at which
the decision previously arrived at re
garding the recall from Cuba of Gen-
oral Weyler was confirmed.
El Ileraldo makes the announce
ment that the captain-general of Por
to HIco will bo appointed acting gov
ernor of Cuba pending the arrlvul of
Marshal Blanco.
ln reply to. an Inquiry by Premier
Sngasta, General Weyler has cabled
tho following1 statement to the govern
ment: The principles which constitute my
ohnrncter as well as my well-known
inilltnry history are strong guarantees
that I have never created, nor will I
ever create, any difficulties for the con
stituted government, be that whatever
It may.
I have always been, and ln every case
shall ever be, the first mnn to accept,
respect, obey and enforce the govern
ment's nrd,crs. I would not allow any
demonstration to go beyond the ex
pression of personal affection and the
approval of my policy.
In leplylnc to a number of Cuban
senntors who lind offered their support
to the government, Premier Pagasta
said that the government would devote
Itself, before nil else, to the pacifica
tion of Cuba and would then Introduce
in the island a model administration.
The government, tho premier added,
considered that the pacification of
Cuba would fucllltute the restoration
of peace in the Philippine Islands,
where the situation now is serious.
Havana. Oct. 9. Following the ap
pointment of Marshal Hlunco to suc
ceed Captuin-Gencral Wojler, the Mar
quis Palmerola, civil governor of Ha
vana, and the other provincial gover
nors have tendered their resignations.
Madrid, Oct. 10. The "Imparcial"
says that the Spanish government will
take rapid and energetic measures on
account of the spread of the rebellion
ln the Philippine Islands. It Is said
that General Prlmo de Rivern, the
former Captain-General of Madrid,
who succeeded General Polavieja ln
March last as Governor of the
Philippine Islands, has resigned.
Advice Just received here from
Manilla, capital of the Philippine Is
lands, say that earthquake shocks
were felt at Mindanao during the last
days of September. Great damage was
done to property, and there was con
siderable loss of life. The worst ef
fects were experienced at Zamoanga
and Hasllnn. where noxious vapors,
issuing from fissures In the earth,
asphyxiating many people. (
London, Oct. 10. An American dl
pomnt who has just arrived here from
Madrid says tho condition of Spain is
even worse than the correspondents
depict. Whoever Is sent to Cuba, ho
ndds, Willi attempt to buy off the In
surgent leaders.
The diplomat fuither says that the
Spanish government is so hard press
ed for money that it Is attempting to
sell nil the public lands and build
ings that can possibly be spared. Not
only is the pay of the soldiers unpaild
since last March, but the pension lists
are ln arrears .
All social Intercourse between the
American Minister at Madrid and the
Spanish officials and the Diplomatic
Corps has been suspended for more
than a year. This has partly due to
the fact that Hannls Taylor, the form
er United States Minister to Spain,
wns persona non grata to most of the
members of the Diplomatic Corps.
For eighteen months Mr. Taylor had
not been on speaking terms with the
French and Austrian Ambassadors
and witli tho Papal Nuncio. The
rupture with the French Ambassador
was because Mr. Taylor protested
against being omitted from the list of
guests at a reception given by the
Ambassador.
London, Oct. 10. A dispatch from
Madrid says that the Queen Hegeiit
has ordered that assistance be given
to the families of the Anarchists exe
cuted at Ilnrcelona some time ago,
and that their children be educated at
her expense.

Blanco will sail for Cuba on the fif
teenth, und Captain General Weyler
will return to Spain immediately. Gen
eral Catellanos assuming the direction
of affaire in the Island until lllanco's
arrival. The Marquis de Aliumada,
who was Captain General Weyler's sec
ond ln cominund, has resigned.
At the meeting of the cabinet yester
day It wus decided to send reinforce
ments to the Philippine Islands. Mur
shal Prlmo lllveiu, who succeeded
General Blanco as governor-general of
tho Philippines, will be recalled Im
mediately. LONDON COMMENTS.
London, Oct. to. The Times, com
menting this morning; on the Cuban
situation, says: "If Senor Sngasta
falls to udopt a bold refoim policy In
Cuba likely to disarm American jingo
ism, It might turn out to have been
wiser to lmvu left General Weyler to
finish the war In his own fashion."
The Standard, after asking why Gen
eral "Weyler Is recalled If It Is intended
to continue the campaign, says: "It
seems only too plain that Senor Su
gustu's course hardly deserves the
name of policy. It is a 1 must a de
vice for parrying America's Importu
nate questions. We suspect that Gen
eral Woodford presented something
very like an ultimatum, und thut. but
for American piessure, nothing would
have been heard of autonomy. W
doubt that a Cuban settlement is much
nearer. There will be more fighting
nnd more negotiations. Senor Sugnsta
must walk warily If he proposes to be
more than a diplomatic match for the
American umbassador.
"On the other hand, the Washington
cabli.ci has need to bo circumspect.
Spain ban only Cuba and honor left,
and nr.v open Interference with her
rights over Cuba would kindle a lire
of resentment In which nil talk of au
tonomy would dlsuppenr and the strug
gle attain wider dimensions."
WILL.O-THE-WISP ESTATE.
Tho Heirs or Joseph Itnll Will Get No
Cash.
Washington, Oct. 10. Tho treasury de
partment has had muny Inquiries from
time to time nbout tho nlieged estate of
one Joseph Ball, of Philadelphia, which
Is supposed to be held In trust ln the
treasury department. Tho letters speak
of this trust and of an alleged 81 years'
leaso given by Mr. Ball to certain valu
able property In Philadelphia. Some time
ago It was stated that ex-Prcsldent Har
rison was Interested ns an attorney In tho
estate. Many hundreds of people all over
tho country have been drnwn Into tho
struggle for tho money which they er
roneously imagine lies In tho treasury
awaiting distribution.
To all of these Inquiries replies aro sent
Informing the "heirs" that thero Is no
such fund nnd that thp only record lu
the treasury department of Joseph Ball,
of Philadelphia, relates to a claim of
about $3,000 which he Hied as nn under

cargoes seized by the French. The claim
Is one of tho ordinary French spoliation
claims.
ANNIVERSARY OF
CHARLES PARNELL
Pivo Tliousnnd Nationalists Pnrndo
the Streets nnd Deck Their Famous
Lender's Grave with Immortelles.
Dublin, Oct. 10. Today Is tho sixth an
niversary of the death of Charles Stewart
Parnell. Five thousand Nationalists par
ad. d tho streets to the Bleak Glusiicvln
cemetery, where they heaped high tho
grave of their famous leader with flowers
brought from all the counties of Ire
land. Tho demonstration was unique. It
was divested of nil tho trappings and
suits of woe, and was converted Into a
triumphal procession, lively national airs
replacing dirges. The country people
were brought In by crowded excursion
trains. On their hats they wore Ivy and
shamrock Instead of crape. No flags
were raised on the public buildings along
tho lino of march and only a few houses
of the poor displayed decorations. Tho
poverty of Ireland was exhibited not only
by tho children who walked In their bare
feet, but tho attempts at uniform for tho
processionists who seldom achieved more
than a faded green sash or a spray of
ivy on the coat.
The day was wet, windy and cheerless,
and tho demonstration was imposing In
no way except In Its spirit. A memorial
car was the most conspicuous feature.
It was drawn by four black horses and
on it were plied wreaths and crosses, as
high as n load of hay. A bronze bust of
Parnell surmounted the car and above the
head streamed a green flag emblazoned
with a setting sun In gold.
After this camo the members of the
Irish parliamentary party, headed by Mr.
John Itedmond. They were followed by
tho honorary officers of the demonstra
tion committee, tho staffs of tho Irish
Dally Independent, the Evening Herald
and Weekly Independent: delegates from
tho Irish national leaguo of Great Brit
ain, and then by the. carriages containing
Mr. John Parnell, M. P.; Mrs. Dickinson,
sister of tho dead patriot, nnd other mem
bers of the Parnell family, though the
venerable Mrs. Delia Parnell was unable
to be present.
The lord mayor and corporation of Dub
lin, the mayors, sheriffs and municipal
dignitaries of Cork and Limerick, rode
next In gilded coaches." After them camo
tho various deputations, carrying gaudy
banners. There wero moro than thirty
bands In the procession, and every coun
ty and large town, ns well as scores of
smaller towns, had representatives In
county or town ofllclals, clubs, societies
nnd other organizations. The procession
was forty-flvo minutes In passing u giv
en point.
No union Jacks were carried but nearly
every county delegation raised the stars
and stripes next to the green Hag. Ono
of the most suggestive features was tho
predominance of children and aged peo
ple, showing that the tide of emigration
Is carrying Ireland's able bodied sons und
daughters to more prosperous lands.
At tho cemetery tho members of the
Parnell family walked around tho grave
and deposited wreaths and floral tokens,
conspicuous among them being a cross of
ferns nnd white roses bearing the Inscrip
tion "in ever loving memory of my hus
band, C. Parnell."
There was no speechmakfng and noth
ing In tho way of formal ceremony. A
smart shower llnally sent the spectators
scurrying for shelter.
The Irish World says: "It Is deplorable
that a great man's memory should bo
dragged Into tho arena of party politics,
Parnell has been dead long enough for
his name to bo placed beside those of
tho greatest patriots, high abovo section
and sect, nmld tho reverence and love of
a grateful people united in sentiment
here. If, unfortunately, nowhere else.
