Over twenty arrests were made and

that they had nothing to fear of the pris-

when Arnulfo Arroyo was lynched by
a band of the common people, determin-

men belonging to the common people
forced their way into the municipal pal
ace, ascended the stairway, oyercame
the guards and made their way to the
office Of the inspector general of police
and killed Arnulfo Arroyo, whom they
found there. The killing was wild and

When the police entered the room, they
found the body of the dead man lying

At his side were found door bar and

Arroyo Received Nine Wounds-Con-
Aessed His Intention of Killing the
President.
City of Mexico, Sept. 17.-General
satisfaction was expressed here today as
the news of the lynching of Anulfo Ar
royo spread through the city although
the more reflective people, especially the
business and professional men, said they
deplored the act of mob violence and
feared it would be misinterpreted abroad.
Some of the highest officials of the gov
eminent said that they were puzzled to
account for this outburst of popular feel
ing and regretted that measures had not
been taken to guard the prisoner more
carefully. From the moment Arroyo was
arrested, in front of the Alameda, or
public park masses Of people kept clam
oring for his life, and taunted Lieutenant
La Croix, who had the prisoner in
charge, with not using his pistol on the
criminal. A great crowd OF lower classes
followed the gendarmes to the national
palace, where the prisoner was searched
and then, despite the remonstrance of the
army officers, turned over to the civil
authorities by request of President Diaz,
who was opposed to having the man tried
lenient policl Accordingly the prisoner
was allowed his full constitutional rights.
Acting on the wish expressed by Presi-
dent Diaz, Arroyo was taken under guard
to the police headquarters In the city hall.
Arroyo evidently felt apprehensive of the
crowd, who were determined to seize and
lynch him, and he was carefully locked
up at Headquarters, when he appeared
to feel less feaful.
At night he was taken, clad in a straight
jacket, to the office Of the inspector OF
police, which consists of two rooms with
two windows opening on the street. Inc
prisoner was given mat to rest on, and
was carefully guarded. Near at hand, IN
an adjoining apartment, were TOUR OF

New Orleans, La, Sept. 17.-1he fe-
yer situation in New Orleans to-day as
sumed more serious aspect than at
any time since Sunday, when six of the
st. Claude cases were declared 10 be
yellow fever.
At six o'clock this evening the Board
of Health Of the city announced the
appearance Of eight new cases and of
these. one death, that of Zena Brauner.
At the office Of the Board of Health,
to-days reports We're considered some
what surprising and disappointing.
The situation had so materially inn
proved last night that it was felt that
pretty much of the worst had come, and
conditions would improve. Yesterday
was one of the hottest days of the month
and as yellow fever thrives in that char
acter of weather, there seems to have
been rapid development of germs. The
physicians still feel, however, that there
is much that is satisfactory in the situa-
ton. 1t is true that the new cases to-
day represent the extreme upper, the
extreme lower. and the central portion
of the city, but there has been no seri-
Gus spread from original foci, and the
hopeful opinion is still expressed that
the disease may be controlled and that
there is no imminent danger of an cpl
demic.
Secretary Baton of the Board, said
this evening:
The appearance Of eight cases to-
day is not necessarily alarming. | said
three evenings ago that the prospects

OF at least fifty eases as n result Of
constant intercourse we have been hav-
ing with the infected towns on the Gulf
coast and the fact that a promiScuous
throng of some 700 or 500 people had
FASTENED into the city on the Monday
evening following the declaration of the
Ocean Springs sickness to be yellow
fever. We have had now 2S cases and
two deaths. The majority of the re-
maining cases are improving. 1t is
still quite likely that there will appear
numerous eases in New Orleans but the
situation is not distressing and the
chances Of a disastrous epidemic are re-
mote"
The Brauner case. was first brought
to the attention Of the Board early in
the week. Close attention had been
given it, but while the symptoms justi-
fed suspicion, they were not sufficiently
aggravated to warrant an absolute de-
claratiOn that the case was yellow fever.
