THE YANrIc AT QUARANTINE.

THE YANTIC AT QUARANTINE. The Yellow Flag Flying and Yellow
 Fever on Board - Three omeers
 Lying Sick With tke Fever-0Re
 Dies on the Voyage and Is Buried
 at Sea.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The sloop of war Yantic lies anchored in the Narrows midway between Fort Wadsworth and Fort Hanil- ton. From her foretop gallant masthead floats yellow fever flag, from her gah the United States ensign. The yellow fever flag is the government code signal s'Q," indicat- ing the prevalence of contagion upon board, and the isolation of the steamer in the mid dle of the Narrows is in accordance with quarantine regulations. Four of the crew of the steamer have been stricken with yell low fever since the Yantic sailed. One of the four is dead, another is 50 seriously i'll that he may die at any time and the other two are convalescing.
 It was on Friday, December 2S, that the first case of fever was discovered. Lieut.. Charles Richards was attacked with suspi- cious symptoms, and the surgeon soon diag- nosed the disease as yellow fever, There was great scare on the Yantic when the opinion of the surgeon became known. Everyone wanted to leave the filthy Haytien harbor immediately. The next day, Satur- day, the 29th, there was another case, H. L. Kellar, the ships yoeman. On Sunday, December 30, Mark Lambert Bristol, age twenty naval cadet was attacked. Monday, Jan. 31, the fourth victim, Charles William Rowe, was stricken down. This was too much four cases in four successive days. At this rate the entire crew would soon be down. There was 8 hurried consultation with Ad- miral Luce and it was decided to pull up the Yantio's anchor and steer for the good old climate of New York. On New Years day, therefore, the Yantic got up steam, hoisted all her sails and bade adieu to the Hsytian republic.
 As soon as the shores of the island sank out of sight on the horizon the United States sailors breathed more freely. And, strange to relate, not one case of fever developed thereafter. The best possible attention was given the four sufferers, but on last Monday. January ', at 11:20 a. m., Charles William Rowe breathed his last. He was buried al sea with full naval honors. His body was wrapped in an American flag, and the crew stood with uncovered" heads as the burial service was read by the chaplain. Rowe was corporal of the marines, aged twenty-six. The three remaining patients, Lieut.. Rich ards, Yeoman Kellar and Cadet Bristol are still living. Kellar and Bristol are improv' ing, and will probably recover. Richards however, is so seriously ill that it is doubtful I if he can get we'll He is thirty-two years ol age. Lieut. Richards is married man, ane ! his wife lives in Brooklyn.
 The Yantic will remain secluded at quar- antine until the fever aboard is entirely stamped out.

Nominated For the Board of Public
 Works by Democratic Aldermen.
 The Democratic aldermen had caucus last night to select candidate for member of the board of public works in place of M F. Campbell, who resigned the nomination. The reason why he did so was because his employer, J. B. Sargent, requested him to.

There was another large audience at the Grand last night to see Henry Chanfrau in "Kit, the Arkansas Traveller" The two last performances will be given to-day.
 THE PAYMAsTER.
 The Paymaster was repeated at the Hyper ion last evening to an audience of several hundred. Mir. Harrison's rendition of the role of Robert O'Connor especially pleased his hearers, and his leading support in Miss Beatrice Leb as Ethel Wiley is particularly noticeable for the grace and verity with which she sustains her position as mistress of Inslavogue. There will be no matinee to- day. Performance this evening as usual.
 MILE. RHEA.
 Mile Rhea will appear at the New Haven Opera House on Monday and Tuesday even ings next in Shskespeare's comedy Much Ado About Nothing" and "Adrienne Lecou- vieur." She will appear as Beatrice in "Much Ado About Nothing" on Monday evening. The Pittsburg Despatch says: "Her persona tion of the fascinating character of Beatrice was elevated and dignifed in all it's features. It is enough to say that the part was prob- ably never seen more charminglY portrayed, even by the most eminent actresses who have presented it on the American stage. It may be pardonable to say, also, that if ele- gance of costume can add anything to an in- tellectual performance of exalted merit, Mile Rhea has not Jailed in this direction to give proof of exquisite taste."
 CLARA NORRIS.
 MT. George E. Gouge, business manager for Clara Morris, was in town last evening completing arrangements regarding Clara Morris appearance at the Hyperion next Fri- day and Saturday evenings. It is about two years since this distinguished actress ap. peared here. Her role here next week will be that of Renee de Moray, the martyr daughter, wife and mother in D'Ennery's s adaptation of "La Martre" Filial love is the essential theme of the play, and it em phasized, or idelized with lofty significance and profound impressiveness. Added to this inherent leftiness of aim is the consum mate dramatic skill of the author of 'sThe Two Orphans" which is shown in series of strong and thrilling situations an atmos- phere of emotional intensity, relieved of op- pressiveness by vein of human and more | delicate sentiment. Miss Morris is surpass- | ing her former triumph with health and | spirits restored, enabling her to show to the utmost her dramatic talent and art. Sue had intended to give no matinee perform. | ance, but change has been made, and in response to the urgent solicitation of many patrons Manager Bunnell yesterday secured l the promise of 8 matinee, in which Miss Mer. ! ris will appear in La Martre. Her manager telegraphed to her and received her assent te the change. At the Saturday night per formance the Lady of Lyons will be given
 with De Belleville as General Moray and Mis- ! Milien Willett as Pauline. All the enter
 tainments will proceed with but brief waits
 closing at 10:40.
