INDIGNANT DEMOCRATS,
United States Senator Eusfis of Loutsiana
DenOunces Cieveiand's Administration
Sensation Among sSulherm MeHs


New ORLEANS, April &c. For some time
past the Democratic leaders who control the
State and city governments have been highly
dissatisfied with Cleveland. They have more
than once threatened that in case he continued
the present Republican Office holders in power
here, they could not support his administra-
tiou. Hitherto, however, the leaders have
been able to prevent any open rebellion, 6us
today this bitter feeling broke out. United
States Senator j. Is. Eustis VINO ls generally
regarded as representative of the dominant
faction OF the Democratic party in this state,
in an interview published today, denoubces
the President and Cabinet and announces
that he will oppose and fight in the Senate the
policy now being pursued by Cleveland. 'fou
can say for me-" he remarked in this inter-
view, that in my Judgment Mr.. Cleveland
has been conspicuous and humiliating fall
ure. His administration was commenced with
series Of blunders, and his friends have
Just cause for complaint The question now Is
whether these mistakes, which have become SO
patent TO the whole country, are mistakes OF
the head or the result of evil promptings and
treacherous conduct to the party whose princi-
pies he claims to represent. The fact that
horde OF unscruDulous, ignorant, dyed-in-the-
wool, and offensive radical leaders are perm1t-
ted to remain in Office all over the country un-
der Democratic rule, is a shame and dis-
grace. The whole truth of the matter is that
Mr.. Cleveland is totally lacking in lnforma-
tion respecting the condition of affairs in the
South and West, and is reliant entirely on the
feverish advice of couple of Mugwump pa
pers in New York, as ignorant as he regarding
these Important sections. 1t is no longer
matter of the distribution of offices and gov
ernment patronage, but a question of party
principle, and the Democratic element will see
to it that the administration is Democratic in
the full significance of the term, or that Mr..
Cleveland and his Cabinet shall fall and be
buried 10 the ruins they have made"
Y IT rra.
test against the policy of the administration
made by United States Senator Eusts of
Louisiana creates a sensation here among
Southern men. They say that Eustis repre-
sents the real sentiments of the South, and is
a resolute man, and that his declaration means
that he is to oppose the administration. Lou
isianians here, who have recently talked with
Eustis, say that he will be found voting with
the Republicans in opposition to the confirma-
ton of many nominations which have been
made since the adjournment. Eustis is said
TO represent the dominant faction of the De-
mocracy in Louisiana.

AaUARANTINR HosPITAL.


Pressure is being brought to bear upon the
Secretary of the Navy by the Naval Surgeon
General, the marine hospital service and sani-
tary authorities aud organizations of various
States, to take immediate steps TO secure .
quarantine hospital to which an infected vessel
could safely be sent, tho crew treated and the
ship disinfected. 1t is represented to the Sec.
retary that there is now no place where this
could be safely accomplished. Even the New
York quarantine station could not safely take
charge of cholera or yellow fever injected
ship and care for the plsgus-strioksn seamsn.
The step which Secretary Whitney is now
urged to take is to accept the use Of Widows
Island in Penobscot Bay, rendered BY the
Lighthouse Board, and to authorize the ex-
penditure of 81. 900 from the general hospital
fund for the construction Of wharf and
frame hospital or barracks building ON the
island. The Surgeon General Of the Navy has
reported In favor OF the selection OF this island
and the erection of q hospital, and has In
structsd the Naval Surgeon at Portsmouth, to
hold himself n readiness to carry out the pro-
jsct at short notice whenever the emergency
may arise. With this in view plans were pro-
pared some time ago and everything put In
than thirty days time whenever an order Is
issued authorizing such action
Surgeon General Grinnell proposes that the
quarantine hospital should be conducted on
economical principles. 1t is suggested that
the building should be erected under the supsr-
vision Of medical officers Of the navy, and
stored with medicines, provisions. cots and
clothing. It conld then be left in charge Of
one watchmsD, and he would retire from the
station upon the arrival Of sn infected vessel
aud leave it to the crow Of the ship II her
medical officer was In condition TO take charge
aud care for the sick. II the ship should Be
without q competent medical officer, = surgeon
would be ordered to the station from Pcrts-
mouth TO take charge Of the sick and superin-
tend the disinfection Of the ship. In either
event, boat load Of ice and other supplies
needed for the sick could be sent from Ports
mouth to the quarantine island. It is claimed
for this system that 1t would involve no dam
ger of spread OF the disease, and would
afford proper accommodations and treatment
for the sick and disiDfection of the vessel. Il
is believed that Secretary Whitney will author
izs the necessary expenditure for this import
ant purpose. Widows Island Ia q small island
in Fox Island ThoroughIsre, near VinAlhaven.
1t is grassy and entirely bare OF trees, OF
moderate height and about 400 yards long. II
has q small cove that is well sheltered and will
