ed to Secretary Sherman, making the following announcement of the appoint ment of such officers of the new cabi- net as may have to do with the foreign policy of the new government:
 "New ministry formed. Sagasta, pres ident; Gullon, minister of state; Moret, minister of colonies.
 (Signed.) "WOODFORD."
 The composition of the new cabinet is the subject of considerable gossip in administration and diplomatic circles. It is felt that the three powers, so far as affect Cuban affairs are Sagasta, Gullon and Moret the names noted in the state department records in con- nection with previous negotiations con eerning independence, autonomy and other movements at the time of the last long Cuban war. Sagasta was minister of state at the time Secretary of State Hamilton Fish sent to the United States minister at Madrid Ca- leb Gushing, the instructions which have since become famous as laying down the policy of the United States, and the name of Gullon appears signed to one of the Spanish answers to Minister Cushing, MT. Gullon's apparent office being that of assistant minister of state.
 As minister of the colonies it is thought Senor Moret will take a lead ing part in the Cuban negotiations. He is we'll known here, having been as- sistant secretary of. state and minister of finance.
 While Moret was in the cabinet dur ing the previous Cuban rebellion his business associate, Senor Azcazenea, came to this country as an envoy to effect a. settlement with the United States, and was sent to Cuba by the Spanish minister, Lopez, to offer the rebels a measure of autonomy. Senor Senea appears to have been indiscreet in his negotiations, for on his way back he was captured and shot by the Span ish authorities on the ground of having carried on unauthorized negotiations with the insurgents. Subsequently, through the influence of Moret, the widow of Senea was paid an indem- nifty of $3,000, which was regarded as showing that the mission for a com promise was not wholly without official sanction. This action and Moret's rec ognition of the Mora claim have made him best known in this country. The other new cabinet officers are not known to officials here.

 From at Last.

Madrid, Oct. 5.-Senor Moret, minister nounced, has decided to apply, as soon as possible, all the measures which are comprised in the program of the liberals regarding tha Antilles, including all that tonomy for Cuba in the form permitted by the circumstances.
 It is reported here today that the United States minister, General Steward L. woodford, left at the foreign offica yesterday an official note from Secre- tary Sherman.

The government, Senor Sa- gasta added, wi, carry out it's political and military program with frmness and sagacity.
 When the premier was quest.onsd res garding the future of Captain General Weylesr he said he supposed Weyler would resign, adding that If he did not do so he would be recalled.
 In conclusion Ssnor Sagasta said that the most prompt action would be taken in the Philippine Islands, where the situation, he explained, admitted of no delay.
 Senor Sagasta. the premier, was the first visitor at the United States lega- tion this morning. His interview with General Woodford was cordial, but ab- solute reserve is maintained as to what passed in the conversation.

BROUGHT ID ABRUPT END Was the Defense of Sausage
 Maker Luetgert. HAD ENOUGH EVIDENCE To Refute all Testimony Offered by the State large Number of Witnesses
 For RebuttaI.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-The end of the fa- nous Luetgert murder trial is nearer than was thought Luetgert, after con sultation with his attorneys, decided not to go on the witness stand. The defense today rested it's case and there is now nothing to come but the rebutta1 evil dence of the state and the arguments of the attorneys-probably about two weeks in all. The state has eighty wit nesse to place upon the stand, but States Attorney Deneen said that In most cases their evidence would be short and that he would get through win them in a hurry. He expects to demoi- ish the stories offered by the witnesses for the defense that Mrs. Luetgert was seen around Kenosfrat and Lake Zurich, Wis, within few days after the mur- der is said to have been committed and to furnish other testimony that will, in great measure, hold up the side of the prosecution.
 is almost all in, an estimate of the rel ative strength of the prosecution and the defense, respectively, is the sole topic of discussion around the crimi- nal court building.
 "We have made out as strong a cir cumstantial case as it was possible to present." said States Attorney Deneen tonight.
 Ex-Judge Vincent was apparently pleased over the status of the case.
 "We have met them at every point and checked them," said he. We have impeached several of their witnesses, and they have failed to show beyond reasonable doubt that Mrs. Luetgert is dead. In my judgment case has not been established under the indictment. And we are not through yet.'
 Luetgert is confident that he will be acquitted. While apparently regretting that he had not had the opportunity to tell his story to the jury the big sausage maker said he was satisfied that the jury would n5't convict him under the evidence presented. Luetgert was in an ugly humor during the afternoon and not inclined to talk much.

1InpI0V; ment and promise, the fever sit uation on the face of the record was somewhat of turn today. For twenty four hours there had been no deaths and yesterday the number of cases had shown a material falling off from the day before. Early this morning, how ever, the reports of new cases began to come in to the board of health office with considerable rapidity and by 1 o'clock there had been fifteen cases re- ported and by o'clock all previous re- ports of this season had been broken, as far as new cases were concerned. In a few hours three deaths had also been reported to the board. The physicians Tere not at a loss to explain the in- crease in cases. They took the view that it night be expected that numer- ous cases would continue to be daily re- ported pr. Oliphant said tonight:
 'The stern enforcement of the law re- quiring all physicians to report prompt ly- both suspicious and actual cases of yellow fever has had material effect in increasing the number of eases.
 "As rule the numerical increase of cases is due to the fact that we have so organized our forces that the corps of the board of health is now so larga and the activity of the public in ferree- ing out new cases so great that few, if any cases are escaping attention and prompt report.
 An epidemic is absolutely out of the question.
 "Nsw Orleans is today by no means unh althier than it has been for several years. The prevailing fever has caused in several weeks less than forty deaths"
 This was the record of cases reported to the board of health today.
 New eases, 31.
 Deaths, 3.
 Two features were somewhat of sur prise. LiItls was known of tine case of Cecil Specs. She had not been reported as patient likely to succumb 10 the disease. Babtiste Solomon died rather suddenly. An examination after dsath proved conclusively that the man had been the victim of the prevailing sick ness. Miss Scanneirs case was report ed several days ago.
