 NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 15. At noon the board of health announced five ad- ditional suspected cases and at one o'clock announced that one of the sus- pected cases was extremely suspicious and another was still un der investiga- tion, but the others were c found harm less. The board attri butes the num- Der of cases to the lateness of the quar- antine against Ocean Springs, but the members confidence in their ability to successfully cope with the plague is undiminished, though more eases are expected.

A MILLION DOLLARS WASTED.
Capt. Carter, of the United States Army
 Under Serious Charges.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. Ut had been rumored for some time that thorough inspection of the conduct of the super vision of river and harbor improve ments in the district adjacent to Sa- vannah, Ga., showed, to say the least, gross carelessness and possibly some thing worse on the part of the officer lately in charge of that station. Ear nest efforts were made to suppress the matter, but it is now certain that court-martial, within the next few days, will be ordered for the trial of Capt. Oberlin M. Carter, at present military attache of the United States embassy ii London. on the charge of discrepancies in his accounts and mal- feasance in office. amounting, it is al- legged at the war department, to sum approximating S1, 1000, 900. Capt Carter has been ordered by cable to return at once. The secretary of war is now considering the composition of the court of 13 officers before whom he will be placed on trial.

RIVAL THE RENDERS.
Conviction of a Family for Murder Leads
 to Discovery of Other Crimes.

v
 COLUMBUS, Kan, Sept. t5.-The con viction of George StatllebaclS and his mother of murder yesterday has de- veloped a sensational feature, the tes- timony of Cora Stafiicbaek, a sister of the defendants, that three more mur- ders are known to have been committed by the gang in Galena. A mob of 800 people are standing around the aban- doned mining shaft from which the water is being pumped to find the dead bodies supposed to be there. July 10 the body of Frank Galbreath was found floating in an abandoned shaft, a short distance from Main street in Galena, bullet hole in the head and the throat cut, telling the story of murder
 The Staffleback gang ran joint near the shaft where the man was found. Cora StafflebaclS confessed that one night early in July Galbreath called at the house to see a girl who was staying there. Her mother cut him with large knife. Galbreath tried to escape, but was shot by the Staffieback boys, his throat cut and his body thrown into the shaft The trial of George StaillebaclS and his mother took place to-day. Both were convicted of murder in the first degree Cora StaiilebaclS promised to tell of other crimes committed by the gang if given immunity. She then took the officers to shaft within 30 yards of the StaAlebacl home and stated that about two weeks after the murder of Galbreath her mother and step-father had murdered an Italian peddler and thrown the body in the shaft and a week later had murdered two Germans who knew of the crime and thrown them in the shaft. Galena is at fever heat, and there is proba- bility of a lynching when the bodies are taken out.

New Kansas Law Discovered.

KANSAS CITY, Kan, Sept 15.-There is Kansas statute which provides that q merchant or professional man doing business in city without pay ing an occupation tax cannot collect a debt by law.

Important Civil Service Case Decided in
 Washington by Judge Coxe.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Judge Coxe, of the supreme court of the District of Columbia, dismissed the bill of com plaint of John G. Wood, superin- tendent of mails at Louisville, Ky, praying that Postmaster-General Gary and Assistant Postmaster-General Heath be enjoined from removing him from office. The case had been con sidered in the nature of test of power of removal and the delivery of the opinion drew to the courtroom many public officials, including members of the civil service commission. Judge Coxe's decision was an elaborate review of the law bearing on removals of federal employees. He held at the out set that it was not within the power of the court of equity to grant relief in matters of appointment and removal from office. Then taking up the mer- its of the case, he stated that it was a settled law that the power of removal was incident to the power of appoint ment, and that both could be exercised by the head of department in refer ence to subordinate officials.

CmcAGo, Sept 15. Inhammatory speeches like those made in the two meetingso of social democracy branches, in which the collision between miners and deputies at Hazleton, Pa, was made the excuse for advising working men to appeal to the knife and the torch, will not. the police authorities state, be further permitted in Chicago. ''ANe " e shall stop these meetings alto gether if such talk as has been reported is continued" said Lyman Lewis, as sistant chief of police 'I am sur plised at Murphy.

Japan, the United States and

in Accord.

Canada still stands in the way and
the continued absence of the Cana
dian export, Mr.. Macoun, is regarded
in the light of diplomatic discourteSy
not only to the United States but also
to the British government. The foreign
office named him with Prof. Thompson
as an expert to come to Washington.
Prof. Thompson came at once, but Mr..
MacOun has remained away. The Of
tawa government has sent no expla-
nation of this action and is obliviOus
to all inquiries. 1t is thought the pres
ence of Mr.. Hamlin as the American
expert in the British-Amercan meet
ing may be the cause of Canadas in
action. Lord Salisbury specifically
stated in accepting the proposition for
a meeting that it was to be one be-
tween experts" To this end, the
British expert Thompson, and the Ca
madam expert, Macoun were named, it
being expected that the United States
would name its expert, Prof. Jordan.
MI. Hamlin was named, however. and
it is understood that this is viewed
rather in the light of naming a coun-
selor, or Diplomatic representative,
rather than an expert. While no Of
fetal objection has been made to the
appointment, it is believed to account
in part for Canadas delay in sending
heI expert to Washington. No men
ton is made in the convention of the
killing of the seals in case Great Brit,
ain and Canada do not cooperate. II
is pointed out that Russia and Japan
could rot adopt r. taliatory steps against
Carada as they have no border in
terests with her. Any action against
Canada, therefore. must be taken by
the United States alone. The pan Of
killing of the seals has been embodied
in the bill before congress, but it has
not come before a conference as
step now to be taken by the allied
powers.
Mr.. Foster gave a reception today to
the Russian, japanese and British del
egates and experts. Prof. Thompson
was present, but the British embassy
officials were not represented owing to
the month of mourning imposed by
the death of the Duchess of Teck.

An Attempt to Force the
Hand of the United States.

tors" of the states of the Greater Re-
public of Central America is steadily
growing in bitterness, and in this
country the people are suffering
greatly under the rule of their presi-
dent, Gen. Zelaya. In fact, matters
have reached such a stage that the
United States government must either
continue to submit as heretofore, on the
ground off sympathy with these re-
publics, to the caprices and misrule of
each successive dictator, or else recog-
nize the true condition of these re-
publics and energetically enforce a
line of policy recognizing the people
and raising them to the level of actual
and not nominal self-government.
Since the disbanding of the revolu-
tionists of September last, who at
tempted to achieve political and per-
sonal liberty by attacking the forces Of
President Zelaya and, failing in this
effort, were driven to seek refuge in
Costa Rica, the masses here have
been made to feel the weight of the
iron heel, and their resentment has
been intensified by the merciless acts
Of Zelaya and his favOrites.

Indeed, the victory is we'll worth the

of his term, to remove any one of his
appointees at his pleasure and without
giving any reason for his action, ex-
cept his own will. With the advent of
the new city government, the tenure of
