New YORK, Oct 20 Considerable alarm
has been occasioned over the death in the
st. Johns hospital in Brooklyn, of the pa
tient, Capt John Jillard, of yellow fever.
The health authorities, however, assert that
there is no cause for fear, as everything pos
sible to prevent spread of the disease has
been done. The steamer Caereuz was i'm
mediately returned to the lower quarantine,
where she will be thoroughly fumigated. A
portion OF her cargo, which was discharged
at Martins stores, was also disinfected.
Some trouble was experienced in finding out
the coachman who drove the sick captain to
the hospital, and not until several other per-
sons had hired the hack could he be found.
The vehicle was thoroughly disintected, and
officers are now trying TO locate the several
passengers. The body of the captain, after
being inclosed in an air-tight casket, was
taken to Evergreen cemetery for intermeut
1--WE apprehend no serious consequences, "
said DR.. Baker, of the health department, to

be in the city. One of these men
came to the dock this morning, think

Immediately sent down to quarantine, and

Referring to the Murchison letter again,
Mr.. Bayard added:
II can't explain my astonishment that
Minister West should have answered it. 1t
is sinconceivahla To me that in the midst OK
heated political canvass Mr.. West should
have SO far forgotten himself rs to write
such letter. You remember, of course,
Dan. Weller's characteristic reference to the
disappearance of the puppies and the sudden
appearance OF the veal pies. The opposite
ness of this is found in the publication of the
letters few days ago and Mr.. Blaine's
speech ct Madison Square garden Friday
To quote the illustrious Weller family still
further, it was, to say the least, A VERY
striking coincidence"
Secretary Bayard's cablegram to Minister
Phelps Thursday concerning the Sackville
letter was confined to a brief statement of
the facts as then known to the department
The British minister had admitted the
writing and mailing of the letter, and had
authenticated the text of it and had also ex.
hibited to Mr.. Bayard the letter from the So
called Murchison to which his own was q
reply.
After full discussion of the matter it was
decided to supplement the cablegram of
Thursday to Mr.. Phelps by another which
would be formal notice to the marquis OF
Salisbury that the obnoxious minister must
be withdrawn. The cahlegram was accord
ingly sent and it is expected that Lord Sack
vile will very shortly depart tine country on
