THE SPREAD OF YELLOW FEvER.-A
somewhat curious theory is that OF DR..
Carlos Finlay, of Havana, who contends
that yellow fever is net transmitted
through the air nor by contact, but by in
oculatlon, which is largely performed by
mosquitoes. These creatures bite victims
of the disease, become infected themselves,
and so convey the germs to the blood of
other human beings. To support this view
Dr. Finlay mentions that yellow fever was
less prevalent in Havana during the I'M
usually hot summer of 1885, when mos
quitos were scarce, than in the late au-
tumn when the insects were numerous.
He even goes so far as to conclude that
this affection cannot be epidemic where
the tropical mosquitodo not abound.

a New Mexican Republic.

i A special from Dallas, Texas, to the
New York Herald, says 1t appears that
the filibustering expedition proposed to in
wade Mexico and establish new republic,
to be composed of the present states of
Chihuahua. Sonora and Durango, is no
myth. Two emissarieS of the movement
! arrived in Dallas Wednesday, and under
promise not to give any information that
might be used against him. one of them
has given to your correspondent some
points as to the true inwardness Of the
daring scheme He says that this lilibus-
tering movement was on foot before the
Cutting case was heard of. but that in
matters of such delicacy it is necessary to
move slowly and with great caution. He
did not, however, deny that Cutting is now
one of the leaders of the affair.
The executive committee consists of
twelve persons, three Of whom are located
in Ell Paso, two are travelling and working
up the scheme by secret agents, and of the
remainder, some Of them. very wealthy
men. are in New York, Chicago, Salt
Lake City and the city Of Mexico. Three
of the executive committe are Roman
Catholic priests. One of the latter is now
on his way to Rome to confer with the
pope. His holiness, it is said, has long de
sired some CONFUSION in Mexico which
might give opportunity for the re-estab-
lishment there of the state church. and
the eonspirators look with great conf
dence to him for aid.
The New York and Chicago capitalists
are in the scheme for what they can make.
They have faith in its success, and pro-
pose to get in on the ground floor of the
projected new government, making q
handsome profit Oh its bonds and grants of
land and mining privileges.
The conspiracy has progressed so far that
the plan OF the new government has been
formulated. 1t is to be a socialistic re-
public, held in check by strong military
power Great inducements are to be
offered to the unemployed workingmen of
the United States to emigrate thither.
The secret agents say that the proposed
luNCStOu Will 1OU uCCCDcGiiy VI PASOeibtJ
take place from Ell Paso, but may soon
occur at any point on the frontier between
Fort Y una and Brownsville.
Cutting, the only man whose personality
is publicly known or suspected in connec-
tion with the affair, is receiving bushel
of letters day from all parts of the coun
try Nearly all these letters tender per-
sonal service, and the writers of many of
them say they can each raise from one to
five companies armed and equipped.
The Yaqui Indians, who have for five
years past held at bay the military power
of Mexico. have been approached to be-
come active allies of the movement, and
their chiefs are eager to take part. Con-
ddential agents are to be appoiGrti
