ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

WASHINGTON, June 24.-The Cabinet
decided to-day not to interfere with the
sentence Of Guiteau, and the Attorney
General this morning instructed the Mar
shall Of the District and the Warden Of the
Jail to keep the prisoner in strict contine-
ment, and allow no one to see him except
his spiritual adviser, his physician and the
officers OF the jail. The Attorney General,
to whom all the appeals and petitions pre-
scented to the President, bearing on Gui.
teau's case, had been referred, submitted
an elaborate report to the Cabinet last
evening, reviewing ali the points presented
in favor OF a respite, and recommending
that it be not granted, on the ground that
the prisoners sanity had been fully estab-
lished at the trial. The report was dis
cussed and unanimously approved by the
Cabinet. The understanding was reached
that nothing should be disclosed as to the
decision of the Cabinet until after it
should be made known to the prisoner.
Rev. Mr.. Hicks called upon the Attorney
General this morning by appointment, and
was informed that the Cabinet had decided
not to interfere with the execution of Gui-
teau's sentence. Mr.. Hicks thereupon
drove to the District Jail and informed
Guiteau, Guiteau has sent the following
message to his spiritual adviser:
go and see Arthur, and shake your fist
in his face; tell him made him President
BY my inspiration, and he must give me
an unconditional pardon, and, if he does
not, God Almighty will blast him forever.

ing, but it is expected he will return. Miss
Chevallier will have a conference with DR..
Golding and Rev. Mr.. Hicks this evening
to determine upon their future action.
The National Board of Health Ex-
cited.
CHICAGO, June pa special from
Washington says that the National Board
of Health ia excited for the first time in
years. The Secretary sent a dispatch to
the Collector in San Francisco, asking the
facts relative to the English vessel in
quarantine, with Chinese afflicted with
smallpox on board. The story that is told
Of the action of the authorities ~recounts
such brutality as to excite indignation
among humanitarians, and has stirred up
the Board of Health to make inquiry, at
least, as to the facts. 1t is said that a
month ago an English ship arrived at the
port with 600 Chinese on board, one of
whom had the smallpox. The officials not
only refused to allow them to land, but to
aboard the lighters, and the 500 well men
were kept on board the infected ship, as
well as the sick one. What resulted from
this improyised pesthouse is not known,
but ii is expected that the authorities will
report tomorrow their success in encour-
aging the disease. The trouble with the
National Board is their want Of authority,
which goes little beyond the power of
moral s~uasion. This does not appear to
be much when only Chinese are involved.
The Chinese, sick and well, are said to be
still on the ship, which is reported to be
reekIng with the loathsome disease, which
has spread among the unfortunate coolies
since the vessel arrived. According to the
statement of facts, as far as known here at
this time, the plague might have been
checked by allowing the passengers to go
on board the lighters in the bay during the
f-NI ~ bSSA AASiO VI
remaining on the infected ship.
Another Destructive Tornado.
DEs MONIES IowA), June 24.-Dispatch
just received by the Register, from Fort
Dodge, says the NJ. & st. Louis dispatcher
says the town Of Emmettsburg, Iowa,
county seat Of Polo, Alto County, was
blown TO pieces this morning by a tornado
and over 100 people were killed. The
Illinois Central, and Chicago & Northwes-
tern trains were blown from the track.
The Milwaukee L. st. Louis road is wrecked
by a washout north of Forest City, and
there is a report that three or four more
towns in the vicinity have been blown to
pieces. The wires north Of here are all
down. 1t is impossible to get more news,
but will work hard to get everything pos
sible.
YASKToN ID. IT,, June 24.-The storm
here this morning did considerable dam
age. 1t was almost a hurricane.
A Quarantine Question.
WASHINGTON, June 24.-The Chinese
Consul at San Francisco has written to the
National Board of Health, complaining
that certain Chinese emigrants affected
with smallpox had been detained on board
a vessel now in the harbor Of San Francis
co, and that the local authorities would
not permit them to land. The National
Board Of Health has informed the Consul
that measures will be taken to thoroughly
investigate the matter. 1t is understood
that the Board decided to assume charge
OF the quarantine of that port itself if it
should be found necessary in furtherance
of their plans.
Deposition to AxteIl.a Illumination
NEW YORK, June 24.-A Sun Washing
ton special says: The nomination of
Axtell for Chief Justice Of New Mexico
has met with opposition in the Senate.
This mans record ought to be sufficient to
cause his rejection by the Senate. The
Senators have been informed that the
nomination has aroused the opposition OF
the bost citizens Of the Territory, who
had breathed a sigh Of relief when Prince
resigned, but they now look with appre-
hension on the nomination Of q man whom
they believe to be more unfit for the place
than Prince was.
