Washington, Oct. 5.-It can be posi-
lively stated that Minister Woodford
has received no additional instructions
from Secretary Sherman or any other
government official since he sailed. His
cali was one of courtesy to introduce

administration, or to lay before it some
! matter not fully outlined in his talk
with the Duke of Tetuan. He bore no

can be stated auth0ritatiVely that it is

the new Spanish cabinet become settled
in office and not to press it to act hast

The composition of the new Spanish
cabinet is the subject of considerable

While Moret was in the cabinet dur

The envoy, acting with the Spanish

This incident and Moret's recognition
of the Mora claim have made him best
known in this country. The other new
cabinet officers are not known to Of

New Orleans, Oct. 5.-After two days

ord, took somewhat of turn today.
For 10 hours there had been no deaths,
and yesterday the number of cases had

reported, and by o'clock tonight all
previous records of this season had
been broken, so far as new cases We're
concerned. In a few hours three deaths
had also been reported to the hoard.
The physicians were not at loss to
explain the increase in cases. They
took the view that it might he expected
that numerous cases would stil con-
tinue daily TO be reported. DR. Olli-
plant said tonight:
The stern enforcement of the law
requiring all the physicians TO report
promptly both suspicious and actual
cases of yellow fever has had a ma
tertal effect in increasing the number
of cases. AS a rule the numerical in

STATESMEN DECLINED.
Spanish Cabinet Consists of Less In
flucntial Men.

New York, Oct. "a dispatch to the
World from Madrid says: Premier Sa-
gasta has been disappointed in his eff
forts to induce all the prominent states
men of the Liberal party to join his
cabinet in the present critical circum-
stances. Therefore he has had to con-
tent himself with a ministry composed
Of respectable, but less influential per-
sonai friends.
An old feud between the right wing
and Il 6, Democrats in the Liberal party
prevented Senior GamaZo from accept
ing a proffered scat. and his brother
In-laW, Senior Maura. the author of the
first Cuban homo rule bin. also is ex-
cluded. chiefly through the influence Of
the union constitutional senators and
deputies from Cuba. who belong to the
Liberal party in Spain. The only
strong men in the cabinet are Senior
Puigoerver. the minister of finance;
Senior Gapdehon. the minister of the in
terror, and Senior Moret. the minister
for the colonies. The last named ac-
cepted the colonial office with view
To playing chief part in reversing the
policy Of the late government in regard

With his knowledge OF English. Senior
NEoret naturally will be in a position to
assist the minister OF foreign affairs,
Senior GuIlon, who is not SO well ac-
quainted with SPANS foreign relations
gs is Senior Moret. On the whole, the
composition of the new cabinet has
caused surprise and Disappointment
both to the general public and to the
Liberal party.

ANOTHER CABINET MEETING.
Discussed ACCESSIBILITY of Govern
ment Making Its Own Powder.

Washington, Oct. 5.-The cabinet at
its meeting today took no action of i'm
portance. The Spanfsh-Cuhan situa-
ton was discussed in a desultory way
in connection with a cablegram re-
ceived from Minister Woodford an
nouncing the formation of the new Sa-
gasta cabinet. The cablegram, how
ever. contained no new information and
the discussion was largely in the nature
of comment and an exchange of views
as to the effect of the change of gov
eminent in Spain on the Cuban situa-
ton.
Some of the time was devoted to sug-
gestlons as to policies to be advocated
in the annual reports of the several
cabinet officers. Among them was q
suggestion made by Secretary Long
relative to the ACCESSIBILITY of recon-
-Inen0ing the establishment of gov
eminent cartridge and powder factory.
Powder and cartridges for the use of
the navy at present are supplied to the
government by private firms. In the
navy departments estimates this year
the appropriation for powder and cart
ridges is 10 be Increased. This. Secre-
tary Long explains is due TO a change
in the character of powder and the fact
that the regular appropriation hereto
fore made is considered too small. The
Union Pacific matter did not come up.

TO keep a close watch of all passing

AS the detective was scanning a par
