McDuhie was unfortunate I'm having

A Bishop, Acting Against Orders. Isead
Decree of EXcommunicat.on.

MADRID. Sept. 2O.-Fears are ex
pressed in well informed circles that 8
cabinet crisis may result from the con.
tumacy of the bishop OF Majorca. Ba.
iearic Islands. who. IN defiance OF the
order of the archbishop. has persisted
in his accommodation of Signor J
Reverter, the Spanish minister O.
finance, for taking possession Of tn,
treasury of n church in his diocese.
The decree of accommodation waa
read with all formalities yesterday H.
all the churches of the diocese.
Several influential prelates approve
the course of the bishop. Their atti-
tude, which is absolutely opposed tC
that OF all the members OF the cabinet
who have appealed TO the pope against
the decree through the papal nuncio, has
raised a complicated issue between the
ecclesiastical and political authorities.
The cabinet relies upon the dictum OF
the nuncio that the bishop has no juris-
diction over the minister and upon his
further assurance that the pope vii
undoubtedly censure the blshop.
The notorious sympathies of th,
bishop with the Carlist movement alsC
aggravate the situation.

The Yellow rover In Havana.

WASHINGTON, Sept 2O.-In his
weekly report to the Marine Hospital
service Sanitary Inspector Brunner at
Havana, says:
For the week ending Sept there
were 326 deaths. of which Is were from
yellow fever, 20 from enteric and per-
nicious fevers, "a from dysentery and
S5 from enteritis. The inspector says
the decline in deaths from yellow fever
Is only apparent, many deaths from
that disease, he thinks. being placed
under the head of entertis and enteric
;ever. At the same time there are not
as many cases of yellow fever in the
military hospitals as there were two
months ago, the soldiers who are sick
being cared for in the hospitals else
where. For two weeks. according to
the city mortality reports. no deaths
from yellow fever have occurred in the
city proper This condition. he says
does not exist.
The enormous death rate from ente-
ritis and dysentery. the inspector says.
Is a result of the lack of nutritious
food and the deaths from these dis
eases have not yet reached high water
mark
Unless the laws are so amended as to
admit certain important food products
none but the favored few win be able
to obtain nutritious food Even at the
present time all fresh meats command
prices above the reach Of the lower
class, while breadstuns are proportion
ately higher

Of beriberi among the Cinnamon here.

was great deal of friction betweenl
rival chiefs, but the astute old Gomez
smoothed the whole difficulty over by
putting forward Domingo Mendez Ca
pote. Although it would appear that
Mendez Capote was selected as a sort
of compromise. his election will prove
most fortunate one for the Cuban cause
On every hand he is spoken OF with
admiration and respect.
Garcia's election as commander in
chief was brought about by the desire
to hate a Cuban at the head Of the
army. but as minister OF war Gomez

atlons.
Garcia has announced his intention
Of driving the Spaniards out Of eastern
Cuba. His latest movement was against
Manzanillo. one of the most important
seaports on the southern coast On
Saturday last 1900 rebels, under COM
mand of Brigadier Salvador Rios. ap-
peared before that town and called up
on the garrison to surrender In reply
the Spanish commander, Brigadier To-
raj. sent out a column of men. The
rebels feigned retreat, and the Spanish
troops encouraged by what they
thought a cowardly flight, pressed aft.
or the enemy.
The flight and pursuit lasted for two
kilometers, when, at the estate of Tran
quilidad, the rebels turned and. with re-
endorsements that had been lying in am
bush, fell upon the Spanish rear. The
rest was a veritable slaughter The
Spanish put their loss down at 10S kill
ed and 60 wounded. but other advices
state that out of the column only three
men escaped to return TO Manzanillo
The others were killed, wounded or TAX
en- prisoners.

Charge That One OF the Jurors Had Made
I'm Ills Mind When Chuscn

tslS MIMI ncn IOscns
San Francisco. Dec. 27.-The long
promised sensation in the Durrant case
developed when ". A. Durrant, father
of the murderer, presented an affidavit
to superior Judge Sewel in which he
charged Juror Smyth with having
knowingly used certain information rot
presented at the trial of Theodore Dur
rant in deciding the merits Of the case
In his (Smyth's) mind. Durrant senior
says that Smyth talked Of the case 70
reputable persons before the trial was
concluded; that Smyth told the persons
that Theodore Durrant had been on
terms OF criminal intimacy with near
relatives. and that he was abnormally
developed seXUally; that Juror Smyth
had intim2tCd that DUTrant senior
knew of these relations. and that Smyth
had made up his mind as to the defend
ants guilt before the trial was half con-
cluded.
DurTant's attorneys formulated pa
pers on motion for writ and pToba-
bic cause. and presented them 70 Judge
Eabra. but he denied the motion and
gave notice that an application for n
writ of probable cause would be made
before the supreme court This will be
done in a few days, the attorneys for
Durrant say.
