CHANGE FOR THE WORSE.
New Orleans Now Reports Eight New Cases
 and More Expected.

1 New Orleans, Sept. H-The fever situ- ation in New Orleans today assumed a more serious aspect than at any time since Sunday when six of the-sSt. Claude cases were declared to be yellow fever. At o'clock this evening the board of health of the city announced the appearance of eight new cases, and of thess one death, that of zena Brauner. At the board of health office today reports were considered somewhat surprising and disappointing.
 The situat ation had so materially i'm proved last night that it was felt that pretty much the wors had come, and that conditions would improve Yester- day was one of the hottest days of the month, and as yellow fever thrives in that particular weather, there seems to have been a rapid development of germs. The physicians stin feel, however, that there is much that is satisfactory in the situation. It is thought the cases today represent the extreme upper, extreme lower and central portions of the city, but there has been no serious spread from original foeci, and the hopeful opinion is still expressed that the dis ease may be controlled and that there is no emminent danger of an epidemic.
 Secretary Patton, of the board, said this evening:
 "The appearance of eight cases today is not necessarily alarming. I said three evenings ago that the prospects seemed to point to the development here of at least fifty cases as result of constant intercourse we have been having with the infected towns on the gulf coast and the fact that a promiscuous throng of some 700 or 800 people had hastened into the city on the Monday evening follow ing the declaration of the Ocean Springs sickness to be yellow fever. We have had now twenty-eight cases and two deaths. The majority of the remaining cases are improving. It is still quite likely that there will appear numerous cases in New Orleans, but the situation is not distressing and the chances of a disastrous epidemic are remote"
 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 justified a suspicion. they were not sufficiently ag- gravated to warrant an absolute decla- ration that the case was yellow fever
 The board of health authorities were, therefore, surprised this morning when they received the news of the womans death. At first it was decided to hold an autopsy, but subsequently after a visit of the doctors to the residence the board became satisfied that the case was one of yellow fever and so officially declared it.
 ! In the meantime, there las been no relaxation of efforts on the part of the authorities to control the disease. The force of inspectors and police officers is being steadily increased and quarantine measures are becoming more and more rigorous ,On the whole, the weather conditions todaS were advantageous. A heavy rain storm this afternoon lasting for several hours, flooded the streets

SCHEDULE JULY .. 10, II.
San Antonio at Paris.
Austin at Denison.
Galveston at Dallas.
Houston at Fort Worth.

Paint. powder and featherdusters!
The Indians are on our trail. Yes,
they got at us yesterday with their
heavy bats, and the umpire wasn't in
1t for a minute. &
Fit? Sure pop! George Bristow
and George Keefe had a world of trou-
BILE for an hour and a half, but the
trouble with us was that We didn't hit
at the right time, while the Indians
didn't do much to brag on.
Up to the seventh inning 1t was a tie,
3-3. and then the Indians passed us.
In the eighth they got three more, and
we rallied in our half, bringing three
runs across the rubber, the score being
rs for Denison. In the ninth Denison
scored again, while San Antonio was
retired without a run.
Both sides hit hard and often and
are credited with fourteen nits apiece.
In the field, however, the Bronchos
did not play their game, and this is
probably why Denison won.
And Yewst'n can't win with Jack
Brennan as umpire. And they can't
play in the mud, and they can't play
on carpet, and they can't beat a car
pet Sam Taub ought to get some
modern players.
And Win Clark is going to join the
Kernels of Kentucky. Well, he is not
the only Broncho that can be a colo
mel. Your Uncle Mike knows where to
get them, and he knows what to do
with them when he's got them. So
send down your money and take your
pick They are guaranteed to last,
and II they don't suit send them back,
and your money will be cheerfully re-
funded.
Colonels? A regiment OF them, and
room for more.
The only regs ettable thing about
this whole shootenmatch is that we
can't find an umpire to make Yewst'n
win. The rest is all honkodori.
A Colonel for a Broncho. oh,
we've got a uniform to fit Southpaw
MCGEE. Just turn him over to Mike,
and he'll soon be as frisk as the rest
of the herd.
And should the deal for MCGEE fail
to connect, Mike O'Connor may make a
stab for Fred Raymer, who is now with
Dallas. Raymer would fit in very
nicely for the Bronchos' keystone bag.
Some folks call it Hows,
And some call 1t Hews,
But what's the use
There's no excuse
For the Houston team to lose. Is

that no matter what plan of warfare
Spain may determine upon the United
States will place obstacles in the way
Of her success and that Spain must
first enforce her rights as necessa-
ny step to the prosecution of the war.
This kind of talk on the part OF Span
iards is both laughable and pathetic.
Spain has had more than her rights in
Cuba; in fact, she has trampled rough
shod on the rights Of others. The fric-
ton between the United States and
Spain has not come from any denial of
the rights of Spain, but from an abso-
lutte disregard on the part of Spain of
the rights of the United States. No
nation ever had a freer hand to put
down rebellion than Spain has had in
the Cuban strugge. q
There is something pitiable in the
Spanish attitude. 1t is morally and
mentally weak. So fiimsy is the pre-
text of war with the United States, that
a child can see through Ii. The way
|of true honor would be to acknowledge
inability TO conquer Cuba, and check
the useless waste of blood and treas
ure. The Spanish people are crushed
by the burden of taxes and are scarce
ly less miserable than the poor wretch
les whom Weyler is marrying to death.
True statesmanship would seek to re-
liever them and save them from ruin.
But with the. false ad silly view of
honor held by the Spanish statesman
1T is proposed in order to save Spanish
honor from the stain OF defeat by Cuba
to stain it with defeat by the United
States, involve another people in the
horrors of wanton war and aggra-
vate the ruin OF the Spanish nation.
1t is to be hoped that better counsels
wiser and more humane-will guide
the Spanish government and that war
will be avoided. But the United States
ought not to pay much respect to such
idiocy Of craftsmanship in a question
involving interests of great weight. 1t
would be crime to let human lives
and our own and the Cubaps' interests
be utterly sacrificed to the folly Of a
Quixiotic sentiment Of honor.-St.Louis

Officials of the s. F. P. & P. railroad have recently addressed letters of inquiry to their agents at various points, in regard to the out look for business for the coming season, and the replies received are datteringly encouraging. While cat tie shipments last year reached high water mark for at least a few years to come, there still remains in the country a large number of cattle and the indications are that the ship ments this year will be considerable. Glendale in MaricoPa county talks of building 6 cannery. which requires the shipment of both machinery and lumber in and the shipment out of theproduci of the eannsry. This is already . very prominent shipping point on the line of the road, both for cattle and fruit, and the prosss pect at present is excellent for a good fruit crop, both of grapes and aprioots, unless injured by frosts, which Is not likely to happen now. Wool shipments have already been pretty heavy and there is eousidera- ble more 10 ship yet. The spring clip in the Salt river valley has been very satisfactory this season.

Our contemporary, evidently goes on the principle that falsehood we'll stuck to is better than the truth, in it's tirade against Delegate \. O. Murphy, as it continues to reiterate its assertion about hls being 8 csns didate for governor. If any such letters have been written by Mir. Murphy as our contemporary iuli mates, why not produce them and publiah them. If Mir. Murphy has made false statement in this mat ter, now is the golden opportunity of the Courier to show 1t up. As between Mir. Murphy's emphatic denial, and the Courier's unsupported assertions, when it would be SO easy to produce the proof, by the publi- cation of one or more of these let ters, if they had been written, even Mir. Murphy's most bitter enemies will believe him. If Mir. Murphy has written any letters of this kind the JouRNAL-MINEB would like to see them. It may be that some one has been imposing on the editor of the Courier. If so, it is due to himself to demand those letters for publica- tion. Will they be producedi
 Our contemporary continues it 8 reiteration of the assertions iu re gard to N. O. Murphy being . can didate for governor, but under 6 pretext of not wishing to violate confidence fails to furnish any proof. It alleges that the JOURNAL MINER does net deny, that Mir. Murphy is a candidate. This is a mistake. The JoURNAL-MINER has not only re- peadedly expressed the opinion that he was not, but has already publish ed Mir. Murphy's emphatic denial, to that effect. In its frenzy this morning, our contemporary resorts again to it's old time tactics, of vitu- peration and abuse, against this pa per. As there is no argument in such tactics the JoURNAL-MINER will not bC drawn into any personalities on the question.
