YELLOW FEVER IN RIO.
The Plague Added to the Horrors of War
In the CAPITAL of Brazil.

BUENos AYREs, Dec. 28.-News
reached here to-day from Rio de
Janeiro that the unfortunate city, which
has for months past been suffering from
the ravages of war, is now victim to
the ravages of the worst and most.
dreaded Of all diseases-yellow fever.
FIVE deaths from this disease are already
reported. The news that yellow fever
has added its burden and horrors to the
suf1erlngs already endured by the peo-
pie OF Rio has caused widespread at
tentlon here, and much sympathy is ex
pressed for the plague and war-stricken
inhabitants. The government is taking
every precaution possible under the
circumstances to prevent spread of
the disease; but the work Of the Off
Gals at Rio de Janeiro is greatly ham
pered by the condition to which the citv
has been reduced by the horrors of war.
The yellow fever which has broken
out in Rio de Janeiro is not the mild
form of that fever, but is the worst form
of black VOmit.

San Domingo Soldiers Attack the Crew

New York, Dec. 2S.-The steamer G..

arrived here to-day, brings report of an
outrage inflicted on the crew Of the
American schooner Henry Crosby,
which lost her bearings and put into the
port Of old Azua, San Domingo.
The first officer and four sea-
men got into the boat and
pulled for the shore. When about 300
yards out a file of soldiers in uniform of
the government came running down to
the beach, and fired two rounds from
their carbines at the men in the small
boat. The sailors turned the boat
about and desperately pulled for the
schooner. The men were taken on
board when it was found that the first
officer had received a bullet in the
shoulder and one seamen was struck by
several balls. A bad wound in the
back made it doubtful if the man would
recover. A report of the affair has
been made to the United States gov
eminent by the consul-general at San

OPPOSES A BOND ISSUE.
Sensational Cr9Ular Issued by Master
Workman Sovereign.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 29.-General
Master Workman Sovereign, of the
knights OF Labor, before he left here
for his home IN Des Moines, issued an
address to Knights throughout the
country, appealing to them to protest
against the proposed bond issue. He
says:
The sixteenth plank in the preamble of
the knights OF Labor reads as follows:
THAT Understanding bonds, bills of credit
or notes shall never be issued by the gov
eminent; but that when need arises, the
emergency shall be met by issue Of legal
tender non-interest bearing money"
wish every local assembly of our order
in the United States TO read the plank
above quoted and discuss it at their
first regular meeting in January. The rea-
son for asking new agitation on this subject
the treasury, Mr.. Carlisle, has asked Con-
gress to grant him authority to issue $780,
000,00 in Understanding bonds. | am
in receipt of letters from cotton
regions of the South and from
agricultural districts in the West
declaring that the issuing of interest bear
ing bonds by the national governme will
be considered sufficient prOvOcatiOn to JUS
ii Y call to arms. God forbid that we
should ever again feel justified in using bull
lets in country where ballots are SO free
/ uggest that upon the first attempt of Con-
6 IS TO grant the authority asked by the
secretary, the members of our order
from Maine to California, hold indignation
meetings and send an unequiv ocable protest
TO their respective members of Congress.
The issuing of bonds is an outrage upon q
liberty loving people and should brand with
eternal infamy every name connected with
the disreputable transaction.
