villages, towns and whole cities lose their
heads and run off as fast as their legs will
carry them In Havana yellow fever some
times prevails all the year round, but the

HARRISON'S CABINET.

a Friend of the President-EIect Says HIS
Cabinet Will be Composed of Great
Men.
indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 15.-Colonel
John A. Bridgeland, of Richmond, Ind,
one of General Harrson's oldest friends, in
an interview yesterday touching Cabinet
possibilities, said: There is no doubt in
my mind but that President Harrison's
Cabinet will be composed of great men
who will be in full harmony with his views.
General Harrison is a man who will have
his own way and tolerate no contentious.
1t is necessary that they should be fully in
harmony with him. 1 believe that John
Sherman entertains views that are in har-
mony with those OF General Harrison, and
believe that he will be a member of the
Cabinet. Mr.. Frye, of Maine, would make
a very good Secretary of the Navy. He
comes from State that builds more ships
than any other State in the Union; he is
familiar with naval affairs, and as mem
ber of the Fisheries Commission he ac-
quired much information that would be
very valuable to the Administration"
"h he should be made q member of the
Cabinet it would also open the way for
Mr.. Blaine to become q Senator again!"
was suggested.
"Blaine will probably be sent abroad.
he has spent some time in Europe and his
family are well pleased with life over
there. He would probably be very well
pleased 30 go to Berlin or Paris as the rep.
resentative of the United States"
do you believe that Indiana will be
represented in the Cabinet."
Certainly"
"By whom?"
"Ah. that's another question. / do not
believe that you expect an answer"
