New Orlsans. Oct 14-It was the slme old story here today. The yellow fever situation showed no decline In the num- hsr of cares reported. The death column was about normal.

It was seven o'clock tonight before @ third as many deaths we're reported for today as had bsen in the previous twenty-four hours. The existing conditions are not favorable for the quick stamping out of ithe disease.

 Prof. Metz said this evening that up to dark there had been 719 cases alto gether of fever here and 423 foci of in- lection. Since the beginning of the sick ness 163 foci have been absolutely wiped out and there remained this evening but 260 with approximately 315 cases under treatment The figures, the doc tor said, was gratifying owing to the fact hat they showed good work had been done through sanitary methods in remoing patients that if left alone might have helped to breed an epidemic.

by Secretary of the Navy Whitney of the
contract for the dispatch boat Dolphin in

SO impaired the credit of the Roach plant

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS,
II Was Not Required by Official
Et1uuette. .


The failure Of the House to adjourn i'm
mediately on meeting, as did the Senate
today, as a tribute to the memory of the
Presidents mother does not involve any
slight or lack of sympathy. 1t is not re-
quired by official ethics that this tribute
should be paid, and IL there had been any
thing pressing in the Senate the adjourn
ment would not have been taken. Both
houses of Congress are Jealous of honors
to be paid to the dead, and it is their prac-
tice to confine adjournment for death as a
tribute to those who are at time of demise
officially associated with Congress in the
government. The Senate felt, however,
that there was no danger of establsh hing
custom In this case, as 1t will surely not
be often that the mother OF a President
will die during the sons incumbency OF
the White House.
1t happened that the House had an order
of business laid out, and that the measure
TO be considered was liable to excite much
debate. This situation would have rendered
somewhat strained a proposition to adjourn
where there was no sanction of usage For
some time Speaker Reed has complained of
the time wasted in Congress in paying per-
functory tribute. in the way of eulogies to
dead members of the House, and it might
not have appeared consistent to oyerstep
the line of official usage on this occasion.
The fact hat the Senate adjourned how
ever seemed to render it desirable that the
House should follow the example, in order
not to appear, to people not familiar with
the custom. as being lacking in respect
An adjournment was taken. therefore
after the appropriation bill had been dis
cussed for an hour and half.

OPPOSITION UNDER COVER
Enemies of Senator Hanna Will Not Fight
in the Open.
Col. Dick Busy Trying TO Shell Them
Out of Conccnlment-Senat
FOraker's Position,

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, December 14.-It
will be two weeks before the senatorial
contest in Ohio will be closed. The anti
Hanna strength among the republicans in
the legislature is estimated at twelve votes
on the first ballot and twenty-five on the
second
This estimate is made by the antis and
should be taken with grain of salt. Col
Chas. f. Dick is devoting his time now to
finding out who the secessionists are, but
he is having a hard time. The anti-Hanna
men are non-committal and are thus avoid
ing the pressure which they would natural
ly be subjected to if they We're out openly
against the senator. Col. Dick is handi-
capped because of this condition.
He dares not question the loyalty of
any man who is non-committal, for fear
of giving offense and possibly driving them
into the ranks of those who are openly
opposed to Mr.. Hanna. Open action will
be deferred until the eve of the caucuses.
Opposition to Senator Hanna in Ohio is
still sufficiently strong to make live agents
work hard until January. The antis claim
his defeat.
The opposition is not believed to have
the support of Senator Foraker, but the
friends of Mr.. Hanna know that Senator
Foraker is the only man in Ohio who
could put an end to the trouble if he wish
ed to do SO. This Senator Foraker will
not do, and, while he is chuckling at Sem
ator Hannas discontinue the latter gen.
tleman is working hard to secure the sem
atorship without the humiliation of com
promising his position. Col. Dick makes
the prediction that Senator Hanna will be
elected by a safe majority.

MARINE BAND LEADERSHIP.
Uncertain When Mr.. Zimmerman Will
Take Charge, If He Ever Does.

Uncertain When MIR. Zimmerman Will
Take Charge, If He Ever Does.
1t is said at the Navy Department that
there has been no recent change in the
matter of the leadership of the Marine
Band. The position was offered to Prof
Zimmerman of the Naval Academy Band
several weeks ago, and as he has not le-
clined, and moreover was a candidate for
it, the supposition at the department is
that he will accept. although it is ad-
mitted that he has not formally done sc
as yet.
Col. Haywood, commandant of the Marine
Corps, who has direct supervision over the
band, and who is responsible for the selec-
tion of Prof Zimmerman the successor
of Prof Fanciulli, has repeatedly stated
that the matter was settled some time ago.
and that Zimmerman would be the next
leader Of the band. He admits. however,
that he does not know when the new leader
will assume his duties. nor will he say how
much more time he will be allowed to con-
slider the tender of the position.
Mr.. German today introduced in the Sem
ate bill authorizing the President to give
the rank of first lieutenant of marines to
the leader of the United States Marine
Band. The bill is Identical with the meas
ire introduced in the last Congress by Mr..
Blackburn and favorably reported to the
Senate from the committee on naval af-
fairs 1t was again referred to that COM
mittee.

for debate even If il should run over the
holiday recess. He asked, however, that
the provision of the bill relating to the
civil service and the debate thereon should
go over until after the consideration of the
other features of the bill were concluded.
Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio), under whose d.
rection the fight on the civil service law
the bill should not be pressed TO a final vote
until after the holidays. While he did not
favor an attack on the appropriation in
this BILL the country was greatly Interested
in the subject and he thought II could be
discussed with profit at this time.
Mr. Bingham's request was agreed to.
and an hour and half was set aside for
general debate on the rest of the BILL
Mr.. Barrett ON Civil Service.
Mr.. Barrett (Mass.) took the floor and
the civil service law. in the course OF which
he referred to the slender minority against
the civil service law when it passed the
house in 1SS3 The vote stood 1874 But
three of that minority. he said, were now
members of the House-Messrs. Bland

Qnd.).
This statement flushed a series of cxpla-
nations that gave the anti-civil service
members repeated opportunities to applaud.
First, Mr.. Steele arose and said he had
never had occasion to apologize for that
tion to the fact that his name one OF
those who voted against the MEASURE had
been overlooked. He was proud. he said.

ments. On the other hand it was believed
that 4 careful investigation of salaries in
the departments would show opportunities
for saving more than a million dollars q
year
The committee had refused to accept the
recommendations es to the Congressional
Library, because II was felt that the IL
brary was stlll in state less perfect than 1t
is expected to make il. Until a catalogue
is completed there is no need for material
increases in the appropriations.
He explained the change in the law regu-
lating the granting of leaves Of absence In
the departments on account or sickness,
and said il was done because the privilege
of sick leaves had been abused. Under the
proposed new law no hardship will be in
fiicted upon worthy persons, but that the
opportunity for abuse of the privilege Will
be removed.
The appropriations committee reported
an amendment proposing a reduction Of
40 in the clerical force of the pension Of
flee. The clerks recommended to De drop
ped comprise twenty at 81 400 each; thirty
eight at 81 ,20, thirty-seyen at 81 900 each
and fifteen at 500 each.
The amendment recommends the addi-
ton to the force CT ten laborers, at $500
each, and tive female labcrers, at S400 each.
The legislative bill fails to provide an ap-
propriation, estimated, for keeping the
Congressional Library open at night. The
bill provides $4,000 for the purchase OF
books an increase over the current appro-
pration of $4,000. The contingent expense
appropriat ton Is increased 500; the appro-
pria ton for care and maintenance of the
building increased 81 $50. reduced $1,000
for repairs and supplies and increased S2O-
900 for furniture There are no changes in
the provision for clerical force. The total
appropriation for the library is sol. .36D.
Mr.. Bingham did not discuss the appro-
priations providing for the maintenance Of
the civil service commission, but stated
that the widest latitude would be allowed

ing From Luck of Food.


ing From Luck of Food.
A man of sufficient Importance to have
been in the cabinet of President Mckinley,
had he desired, has received an important
letter from an eminent American in Ha-
vana on the subject of the Spanish prom
ises in Cuba The letter will find ats way
to sources which will ultimately accomplish
something for the struggling Cubans.
The writer says in the most positive Ian
guage that there is no longer anything
like a campaign against the Insurgents and
that the Spaniards are hoping to end the
rebellion by the extravagant and aHurIng
promises they have scattered broadcast
The letter says that on all sides in Havana
these promises are regarded as empty and
are therefore accomplishing nothing. 1t
is declared that autonomy Is an impossi-
bility, and that nobody VIII be deceived by
it.
The startling statement is made in the
letter that Spain has neither the money nor
the food supplies to relieve the starvation
among the reconceatrados, and it is point
ed out that of nearly 10000 Spanish SOL
dlers in the hospitals of Cuba about one
half are there from weakness and exhaus-
ton, the result of scarcity of food. The
writer says that it is impossible to feed
starving CubaES when the soldiers them
selves cannot be fed.
The State Department has been posted as
to all these facts, and has the authority
from whence they came. 1t is declared that
this authority is such that President Nc
kinley will soon have to recognize it as
better than the promises of SPAN.
Accompanying the letter the writer sends
copy of Gen. Gomez latest proclamation
to his soldiers. 1t is dated November =. AT
the conclusion of this proclamation, Gen.
Gomez says: The hopes OF Spain 10 con-
quer us are hopes already blasted and
Gen. Blanco represents her last and final
effort.
General Gomez says that everything that
helps the enemy must be destroyed and
everything that harasses him must be ac-
complished." The proclamation contains
this clause: Concerning our purposes. they
are well defined and sufficiently proclaimed
before the whole world. The independence
of the country; Cuba for the Cubans; Amer
lea for the Americans

TONIGHT'S DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
Much Uncertainty Over What Should
BE Done.


BE Done.
There is much uncertainty among dem
ocratic members W the House as TO what
should be done at the House democratic
caucus, which meets at 8 o'clock tonight
Some members are urging the caucus to
eet and adjourn without assuming posi-
ticns on public questions which will invite
attack. Others want action at least Oil
Cuba, and the indication is that q Iesolu-
ton favorable to the recognition of Cuban
helligerency will be adopted.
1t has developed that Representatives
Berry Of Kentucky, Cummings of New
York and several other democratic men,
bers are strongly favorable to the annexa-
tion Of Hawaii 1t had been intended to
take a position against Hawaiian annexa-
ton, but with this division of opinion the
subject may not be acted upon definitely.
One OF the formal features of the caucus
will be to name members of the democratic
national congressional committee, one for
each state.
There Is outlook for a pretty lively
discussion Hawaii this evening. The
caucus is purely or the subject of the pol
icy to be followed by the democrats in the
House and does not relate to leadership
of the party on the floor of the House.
