HEGIRA FROM GALVESTON.
Citizens Flee on the First Announce
ment of Yellow Fever.

ment of Yellow Fever.
GALVESTON, Tex, Oct. 9.-Before a
meeting of the Galveston Board of Health
to-day DIR. Guiteras made the following
statement: II have reported to Surgeon
General Wyman and communicated to
Health officer Fisher, County Physician
Warfield and Acting Mayor Skinner that
there are five cases of yellow fever here
and three cases that have recovered from
the disease. mere is no doubt in my mind
as to the correctness of the diagnosis. 1
have been very careful and have not made
any statement as to any case without close
personal examination. The cases are scat
tered ana seem to have no connection. They
appear to have developed in a quite confus-
ing way and are mixed with dengue fever.
There is one at the Sealy Hospital. have
reported two at st. Marys Infrmary, but
find that in one at the inflmary was mis-
taken. I misunderstood the statement of
the attending physician as to the presence
of albumen in the urine. Finding there is
no albumen, alter my diagnosis as TO that
case The other case in the intlrmary Is
distinctly yellow fever"
According to this statement there are four
cases here, as the case in which Guiteras
was mistaken is one of the five mentioned
in the above statement. The opinion of
majority of the physicians here Is that
there is no yellow fever at Galveston, but
a type of dengue fever has existed for the
past sixty days. There have been $1,000 cases
Of dengue and not a single death. A meet
ing of citizens OF Galveston has been called
for Monday for the purpose of asking DR..
Wyman to keep DIR. Guiteras here until he
has had time to report fully on all sus-
picious cases. Galveston was somewhat ex-
cited Saturday night. but to-day the city
road open. All other roads were cut off
last night before any one could get out of
town. The Santa Fe took out seventy-five
persons last night and 11S departed on to-
days train. Forty-two people are booked
for New York by steamer which sails Mon
day and forty people have left by boat for
Bay Shore points. This constitutes the total
hegira from here. The citizens claim if
these four cases be yellow fever thousands
of citizens have had it, as there have been
thousands of cases similar to the cases pro-
nounced by DR.. Guiteras to be yellow fever.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE Times, comment
ing editorially this morning on the Cuban
situation, says: If Senior Sagasta fails to
adopt a bold reform policy in Cuba likely
to disarm American jngoism it might turn
out to have been wiser to have left General
Weyler to finish the war in his own
fashion,
The Standard, after asking why General
Weyler is recalled il it is intended to con-
tlnue the campaign, says: 1T seems only
too plain that Senor Sagasta's course hard
ly deserves the name OF policy. 1t is al
most device for parrying Americas i'm
Fortunate questions. We suspect that Gem
like an ultimatum and that but for Ameri-
can pressure nothing would have been
heard of autonomy. We doubt hat a
Cuban settlement is much nearer. There
will be more fighting and more negotiation.
SenOr SagaSta must walk War1ly II he pro-
poses to be more than a diplomatic match
for the American ambassador. On the other
hand, the Washington Cabinet has need to
be circumspect. Spain has only Cuba and
honor left, and any open interference with
her rights over Cuba would kindle a fire
of resentment in which all talk of autonomy
would disappear and the struggle attain
wider dimensions.
The Morning Post, in an editorial to-day,
accuses the American jingoes of trying
to force a quarrel with England or Spain
for the purpose of diverting the attention
of the country from home troubles, Bryan
ism and the general revolt against the dom
ination of professional POLITICIANS It ex-
presses the hope that Spain, like Lord Sails
bury, will maintain GOODNESS and good
temper in the face of President Mckinley S

BIG LAND SWINDLE.
Fraudulent Deeds to More Acres than
Are in the County.

WHEELING, w. VA, Oct. 1O-A land
swindle similar to that which has been
worked in some Western States is being
operated by some parties outside of the
State. In West Virginia there are enormous
tracts of undeveloped timber and coal lands
lying in the interior and this fact has caused
the swindlers to turn their attention to them
as an inviting field in which to work their
scheme. A dlspasch from Mcdowell county,
lying in the extreme southern portion OF the
State, says that inside the last two months
deeds have been admitted TO record there
purpOrting to convey several thousand
acres of valuable coal land for considera-
dollars which are believed to be purely
fraudulent. There are now over two mil
lion acres on the land books while the coun-
ty only contains about $4,000 acres all told.
The system of fraud is simple enough and
has been worked by the same parties for
some time. The swindlers prepare deed
for a large tract of coal land in the county
and have it acknowledged before some he
titious notary public in a faraway state.
They send it to Mcdowell county, the dis
patch says, to be recorded and nave the
clerk of the County Court to forward them
certified copies of the deed from the record.
This places them in position to dispose or
the pretended titles for a good price to un-
suspecting parties.
1t is not unusual for stranger TO turn
up at WEIGH which is the county seat OF
Mcdowell county, with a deed for several
thousand acres of land, which is all straight
on the record, but when he comes to look

to anybody's knowledge, but are by out

LONG DROUGHT BROKEN
WELCOME SHOWER STRUCK TOWN
SHORTLY BEFORE MIDNIGHT.
Reports from Central and Western
States Indicate that the Dry
Spell Has Terminated.

The long drought was broken last night
by rain that began falling softly about IL
o'clock. For period Of two hours the rain
fell at intervals in sufficient quantities to
thoroughly wet the streets and make the
sidewalks decidedly slippery. All evening
there had been a suggestion of dampness in
the atmosphere and everywhere the hope
was expressed that rain would come. Save
the water that fell during state fair week,
when the exhibit was interrupted by vio-
lent storm, there had been no rain in this
section of the State for nearly two months.
For half hour before the rain came last
night there was brisk breeze, and some
very dark clouds in the west. The breeze
finally became a mild gale, and fierce gusts
of wind picked up the dust and leaves and
blew things merrily. Pedestrians who hap
pe1fed to be in the street without umbrellas
gladly welcomed the rain and sought shelter
in doorways and beneath awnings, where
they watched the downpour as 1t spattered
on the parched asphalt.

SWELLDOM IS FLOODED
FOUR-FOOT NEW YORK WATER MAIN
BURST IN MADISON AVENUE.
For Five Hours a Column of Water
Shot Into the Air Until 1O,OOO,OOO
Gallons Had Poured Forth.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10-A large Croton
water main burst early this morning at the
corner Of Madison avenue and Forty-eighth
street, the heart of the fashionable dis
trict, and wrought such havoc with prop
erty, both near and remote that not even
a partial calculation can be made of the
financial damage at present For blocks
around scarcely a building escaped injury
by reason OF the volume of water which
poured into the streets, cellars and base
ments. The loss will reach far into the
thousands. The damage by water extends
as far west as Sixth avenue and as far east
as First avenue. The sewers were choked
by the great rush of water and then the
flood rose up in the streets. The big
water main was probably cracked by a
blast which was fired in a sewer excavation
late Saturday afternoon. Then, in the
nighttime, when the strain on the pipe
was greatest, it gave way and the flood
followed.
The breaking Of four-foot pipe was an
nounced by rumbling noise which awak-
ened the people in the immediate vicinity.
Looking out of their windows they saw a
great geyser in the middle of the avenue
shooting vast volume of water into the
air, a column so high that it reached al
the corner. Those who had no view Of the
fountain heard a mighty rush of water.
For five hours this column shot into the
air before it was shut off at the source,
and in that time ten million gallons of
water had run down the avenue and side
streets on either hand. All the streets east
of Madisan avenue slope gradually and
down them the water surged in a torrent,
flooding the cellars and easements. The
most serious damage Was done to the
building of the Railroad Branch of the Y.
NJ. c.. A. and the Knickerbocker Athletic
Club house. In the basement of the latter
place the dynamos, machinery, bowling al
leys, bath rooms and big swimming tank
have probably been ruined by the flood. The
club officers place the loss at $4,000. The
clubhouses will be closed until the damage
has been repaired.
After five hours the flood was stopped.
Almost without exception the houses in the
vicinity of the break were so flooded that
they have been damaged from $500 to 81, 900.
The residences of ]. Hooker Hamersley,
William Eustace, j. Talbot and tile club
house of the Delti Phi were among those
most damaged.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1O.-The home of
Francis H. Scott, president of the Century
Magazine Company, in Orange, N. j., was
entered by thieves on Friday and articles
of wearing apparel and household goods
amounting to $4,000 in value were carried

three persons in connection with the crime
and have recovered most of the property.
One OF them is a woman, Mary Rogers,
alias Chicago May" and when the de-
tectives broke into her room, two revolvers
were lying on the bed She tried to pass
them to the men, but was overpowered be-
fore she could cause any bloodshed.
One of the men is Cyrus Hyland, the re-
puted husband of Chicago May" He is
Westerner, and was arrested here last
summer at the request of the Chicago po-
lice. but was discharged. The third person

WASHINGTON. Oct. f0.-The Treasury
Department has had many inquiries from
time to time about the alleged estate of
one Joseph Bali, of Philadelphia, which is
supposed to be held in trust in the Treas

trust and of an alleged eighty-four-year
lease given by Mr.. Ball to certain valuable
property in Philadelphia Some time ago 1t
was stated that ex-President Harrison was
interested as an attorney in the exate.
Many hundreds of people all over the eoun-
try have been drawn into the struggle for
the money which they enormously imag-
inc lies in the treasury awaiting distribu-

sent out informing the heirs" that there
is no such fund in the treasury and that

perhaps given the flag from time to time
now becomes a matter of sober ceremony,
so rigidly required and handsomely ordered
that it at once sets him to thinking, and
the good. sound patriotism that was In him
all along soon envelops every glimpse and
ceremony of the colors with q sacrednesS
that will deepen day by day.
One of his first lessons is to doff his cap
each time he passes the color line where
the color is guarded by a sentinel. Every
summer the cadets pass several months IN
camp on the lovely banks of the Hudson.
and beneath the grand old trees OF the
academy grounds.
During certain hours of the day long
line OF stacked rifles extends along the front
of the camp Across the two stacks in the
center OF the line is laid the color rolled
about it's staff Up and down by this nag
marches a natty cadet sentinel, and woe be
unto the unlucky cadet who ties TO pass
this sacred trust without raising his cap.
So during his life at the academy this les
son of respect is continued, and when he
has "doffed the cadet and donned the bre-
vet and changed the gray for the blue,
and reported for duty with his regiment,
he finds the same lessons being taught the

NEW ALASKAN NAMES.
Government Adopts a Uniform Spell
ing for MeII-knoMn Points.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 10-The United
States Board on Geographic Names, which
meets here at stated Intervals has just
rendered decisions determining the spelling
of I49 geographical names. These include a
number in Alaska significant at this time,
in view of the Klondike excitement. Many
variations of nomenclature for the same
place are encountered, and the boards ac-
ton settles the uniform usage. Following
is a summary of the action taken relating
to places conspicuously mentioned in the
gold stories:
AS to Klondke the decision is to spell it
as here given, and not Clondyke, Klondyke,
Chandike, Chandill or Deer, Reindeer,
Thorndike nor Thron duck One OF the
lakes OF the upper Yukon was~named Le-
barge by the Western Union Telegraph ex-
petition In 1862 after Mike Lebarge, a
member of the exploring party, who is now
living somewhere near Ottawa, Canada.
Late publications have fallen into the er-
ror of spelling this Labarge, but the board
adheres to the original form-Lebarge.
There is a I.ebarge river in Alaska.
When Schwatka descended the Yukon in
1888 he named one OF the lakes on its head
waters Lindeman, after DIR. Moritz Linde-
man, now vice president of the Bremen
Geographical Society. This sometimes ap-
pears enormously as LIndemann and Lin
oerman. The board adopts Lindeman. one
of the principal tributaries of the upper
r..

pany. about 1S4S. This is often miscaned
Lewis.
The inlet river and village OF the head Of

newspapers almost daily under the form
Of Dyea, the starting point for the over
land route. is an Indian word which has
appeared in many forms. Admiral Meade
in 1862 wrote i Tyya; Krause. in 1882.
wrote II Dejah; Schwatka, in 1883 Dayay:
Dali, IN 1888. Taiya. The board adopts the
form Taiya.
For the lake and river variously called
Hootainqua, or Hotalinga or Teslin-Hina
or Teslin-Too, or Tesltn. the board adopts

dialects. An Indian village on the middle
