THE IRON CHANCELLOR
Lets Himself Loose on the Monroe Doctrine
After Legislators.

Be1tfn, Oct. 1S.-The Nues tie NaIJarich-
tsn of Triests prints reports of a com
ssrvation which Prince Bismarck Is said
to have had with a recent visitor during
the course of which the ex-chancellor is
quoted as saying that the Monro5 doc
trine is uncommon iLso,ence towards
the rest of the world and does violence
to the other American and European
states with American interests" 1t
would be analogous, the prince is said to
have added, if Russia ard France COM
bined to disallow frontier changes in
Europe or the preponderating powers in
Asia, Russia and Great Britain, arrogate
the right not to change the political
status without their consent Contin-
uing Prince Bismarck Is reported to have
remarked: Their great wealth, due to
the soil of Amsrica, has led the Ameri-
can legislators to overestimate their own
rights and underestimate the rights of
the other American and European

Spain. will assist the Spanish govern
ment in every way to pacify the island
and are desirous of enabling the gov
eminent at Madrid to proclaim to the
world that the sovereignty of Spain in
Cuba does not depend upon bayonets
alone, but upon the 300, 600 Spanish resi-
dents of Cuba Who represent the wealth
of that island. They are also DESTROYS
of being able to point to the fact That
the autonmists are able to govern the

The city of Bayamo, one of the most
important in the province of Santiago
de Cuba, has been quietly abandoned
recently, its inhabitants moving, as
rule, to Vegitus, fearing a repetition at
Bayamo of the insurgent raid on Victo-
ria de las Tunas.
1t is understood here that some very
warm cable messages were exchanged
between Gen. Weyler and members of
the Sagasta cabinet during the first
days in office of that ministry.
The recent release of large numbers
of political prisoners from the different
Spanish penal settlements was due to
the disgust experienced in certain Span
ish circles here at the extreme severity
exercised toward them, but it is not be-
lieved that the Spanish government In
tends to grant general amnesty.

and nightfall today seven deaths were
reported. The century of daths has &C.
cuwd from less than 900 cases that have
been reported to the board since early in
September, when the first case made its
appearance in New Orleans. AS usual,
ever, today's record had been swelled
by the criminal negligence of the poorer
classes. The record today was by no
means surprising. Early this evening
the new cases exceeded thirty and the
deaths had cached seven. Hertofor the
day had been nine. The cases, as on
other days, have bodied up In all direc-
tons. The quarantine system is still
in effect, but 1t does not seem to re-
strain the spread of the infection and

low fever is DOT at all contagious, but
atmospherically infectious.

Two lives might have been saved If
any attempt had been made to give the
patients attention. EARLY this morning
Coroner Lemmontri found the dead body
and the people said the man had gone to
bed and rolled out upon the floor in a
stupor. 1t took DR.. Lemmontri about
two minutes to decide that the man had
died of genuine case of yellow fever,
and subsequent diagnosis confirmed
the doctors hasty opinion. The body
was buried Immediately.
Later in the day the coroner was called
to view the body Of Antonio Barrone
The coroner at once diagnosed the case
as one of yellow fever. The belief Is
that this case had been concealed and
that the patient had died without q

this fact Jailer Whitman had given him
permission to walk in the corridor. His
