CRUELTY IS CHARGED.

Further Details From Spanish Sources Of
the Recent Cuban Victory.
HAVANA, Sept. l5.-Further details
of the capture Of Victoria de las Tunas,
province of Santiago de Cuba, say that
the insurgents, after capturing the
town, killed with the machete 40 guer-
rillas for having made stubborn re-
sistance. 1t is explained that the Span.
ish hoisted the Red Cross flag over the
hospital of Victoria de las Tunas, and
that the insurgents, mistaking it for
parliamentary flag sent an officer in
that direction. The Spaniards claim
that the insurgent commander, Gen.
eral Calixto Garcia. did not respect the
flag or the hospital and bombarded the
building, killing or wounding so sick
men. The latest advice from Spanish
sources say the insurgents lost over 200
killed during the fighting.
MADRID, Sept. 14.-Further advices
from Havana as to the capture of Vic
toria de las Tunas by the insurgents
state that when the latter, after leaving
q garrison in the town, started in the
direction Of San Pedro, General Luque
endeavored to prepare a column to 60
in pursuit, but, owing to the prevalence
of fever among the troops, he could not
collect more than 1900 men.

At the same time Surgeon Carter tele-
graphed from Ocean Springs that four
cases of yellow fever existed at Berkley,

posed physicians were at Van Cleave
and Scranton practically under guard.

THE PRICE OF WHEAT.

No Material Decline Expected Until An.
other Crop Il in Sight.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l5.-The follow.
ing relating to the wheat situation is an
extract from the report of Mr.. John
Hyde, the statistician of the agricul-
tural department.:
High prices for wheat have for sew
eral weeks past been bringing out sup
plies quite freely, and increased sup
plies have, in turn, reacted upon prices,
causing some decline from the highest
figures of August. The general tenor
Of the information cleaned from all
available sources is not, however, of q
character to warrant the expectation or
the fear from the cons umers or the pro.
ducers' point of view Of any material
cheapening Of wheat until another crop
is in sight with prospect of ampler
stocks"

Mine Owners in the Hazleton District Ap-
prehensive of Danger.
HAzLEToN, Pa, Sept 15.-The situa.
ton in the Hazleton district is one of
unrest. All the collieries in this dis.
trict are apprehensive Of danger. Re-
quests have been pouring in to General
Goblin from the various mines asking
that he send troops to the place in or.
der to prevent any possible outbreak.
The general states that he will not send
troops to any point unless an outbreak
does occur. The general declines to
give the names of the collieries, as all
the men in them are still at work. The
operators, however. are apprehensive of
a strike and want to be prepared for
any emergency. Two mine superin-
tendents in this immediate vicinity
have asked General Goblin to place
guards around their houses. This will
be done. General Goblin will not make
public the names Of the superintendent
who made the requests.

Railroads Entering New Orleans
Have Curtailed Their
Service.
Quarantine Regulations Practi-
cally Prohibit Intercourse
With That City.
Hardly a Town South of Mason
and Dixon But Has Taken
Action.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 15.-At noon
the board Of health announced five ad-
ditional suspected cases. These were
definitely classed later in the day, after
the board of expert had made its exam.
ination. One was found to be extremely
suspicious, one is still under investiga-
ton and the other three harmless.
Reports from Ocean Springs say there
have been four new cases. Surgeon
Wasdin, who is i'll, is doing we'll.
The city is SO tightly tied up now
and SO many hands are lifted against
her there is no longer any commotion
created when this, that or other town
Institutes quarantine. Within a radius
of 1000 miles every town and hamlet
has emphatically refused to have any
intercourse with the city. Drummers
who are on the road are tied up in small
towns and no orders are coming in, and
the country people are at present paying
no bills. The Northeastern railway
has been telegraphed Of the existence Of
the fever here that the rural towns no
longer care to see trains from New Or
leans running through their towns.
The passenger service has therefore
fallen off as stops can be made at few
points south of Mason and Dixon line.
The Southern Pacific also took off two
trains. Lafayette, La. has stopped the
Southern Pacific from changing its
train crews at that at for fear Of the
infection. The Southern Pacific an.
nounced that it will sell no more tickets
to Texas.
VIII Suspend River Traffic.
Helena, Ark, has set pace which
all river towns are likely to follow and
which will probably effect a suspension
Of river traffic until the present scare
dies out. The board of health Of that
city decided that no boat from south of
Vicksburg should be allowed to land at
the pier or within point of five miles
of the corporate limits of Helena. Mon
roe, which so far held aloof in spite Of
threats and refused to quarantine New
Orleans, felt compelled on receipt Of the
information that there are several cases
of yellow fever in New Orleans, to de-
clare rigid quarantine against this
city.
