nEM ORLEANS.

New Orleans. Oct. 2S.--Today's rfcord of new cases and deaths has not worked any material change in the yellow fever situation which while not as bright as 1t might be- is not regarded by the board of health officials as alarming. In the matter of fatalities the unfavorable weather initiates against the patien.s, though in comparison with the eases under treatment the death rates is not considered excessive.
 The first rcporas received this morning at the board of health indicated that the situation was improving somewhat, but later it appears as though the day would be a record breaker in the matter of nsw cases. There was a lull, however, and the situation remains unchanged. Everything is being dsne to isolate the cases.
 It is noticed that the disease has been spreading among children whose ages range from four to fourteen years.
 The board of health officers are hav- ing more work than they can attend to ---------------~-~-~~-~

THE SPANISH REPLY
Will Be Presented to the Cabinet at Its Meeting
 Today.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-The Spanish re- ply to Minister Woodford's note con- corning Cuba, which was received here yesterday will be laid before the cabinet at the regular meeting tomorrow. Mean while the members of the presidents of- ficial family have not seen the message. mally between the president and several of the cabinet minister's and 1t may be stated positively that the adminstra- ition regards the note so far as its tenor is revealed by the abstract cabled by Ministe- Woodfonl, as beinf conciliatory and as not calculated to breed an issue.
 It can also be stated that, gratifica- ton is felt that the answer was forth time after the delivery of Minister Woodford's note having regard to the intervention of the Spanish cabinet cri- sis and change. The acts already per formed by the new cabinet towards correction of some of the evils of which we complain in Cuba are r: :garded as an earnest of the intention of the Span ish government to faithfully carry out the entire reform programme, and if there should be speedy alleviation of the frghtful condi ion of the unfortu- nate reconcentralos in Cuba through a prompt revocation of Weyler's concen- st ;.s f1l4
