Yellow Jack at Vera Cruz.

GALVESTON, Tex, June 25-It now
transpires that the private advices of the
terrible mortality at Vera Cruz from vel
low fever were received in Galveston by
cable. The best information cleaned
from an entirely reliable party in con
slant telegraphic communication with
Vera Cruz. is to the effect that the first
and worst report of Saturday are
correct. Further communication from
Galveston quarantine stations held
that the ship Haytien, recently from
Vera Cruz, had no communication with
any vessels in that port, besides lighters
This takes away the foundation from the
reports contradicting the existence of the
plague, besides the Haytien's officers. for
quarantine reasons, it is said, would be
directly interested in suppressing news of
such an alarming nature.

RICHMOND, Va, june 25.-Captain
Page McCarty and William L. Royal,
friends of Bierne, and Colonel A. w.
Jones and j. w. Minitree, friends of
Elan, had long conference to-day, the
result of which is not known, but it is
believing arrangements for meeting is
nearly completed. 1t is positively as
serted that Elam has been in Richmond
since yesterday, and left the city tonight,
probably en- route for new place of
meeting. McCarty and Royal were seen
on the streets to-day, and this has given
rise to the impression when the fight
comes off Beirne will be seconded by other
gentlemen.

A FALSE ALARM.
The Police Called Out ON "a Long
Run Tor Nothing.

Last evening telephone message was
sent to police headquarters, calling for
officers to come out on st. Mary s avenue.
Captain Jack O'Donohoe and a couple of
officers responded to the call, going clear
out to the head of the avenue, when
they found there was no occasion for
there services, and that the party who
was supposed to have created the distur.
bance had disappeared.
The night was an unusually quiet one,
a pistol shot in the neighborhood of
Fourteenth and Harvey being the only
thing which broke the monotony OF
things, and the man who fired it disap-
pearing 30 quickly that all search failed
to discover his identity.

SAN CARLOS, Aria., June 25.--By order
of Gen. Crook the Indians ON the San
Carlos reservation were called by the
commanding officer of the post to meet
the returned Chiricahuas and give ex-
preston to their views in regard to their
rems ,ning on the reservation. The meet
ing was presided over by the command
ing officer, and was addressed by Loco,
chief of the Warm Springs Indians; Bon
ito, leader of the party who killed Judge
McComas and wife and captured their son
Charlie; MONACO, sub-chief; Mana, chief
of the remnant of Victoria's old band.
The substance of the remarks were that
they were glad to get back to the agency
to be under the protection of Gen. Crook,
to settle down, and be good Indians, rs
they have promised the general. They
said they had no friends at San Carlos,
and wanted to go to the Apache country
to be with friends. The tone of the
speeches of the captive chiefs showed
that they realized the hostility of the
agency Indians, whose silence at the
meeting was significant.
