WANT TRAINS

WANT TRAINS
To Run-Meetings Held at the
Crescent Hotel Adopted
Resolutions
Asking q Change in the Quar-
ontine Regulations.
Sunday night a number of people
met at the Crescent Hotel for the
purpose of discussing the question
of quarantine. The assemblage
was composed principally of en-
ployes of the Southern Pacific rein
forced by citizens from the parish.
Carencro was we'll represented as
several prominent citizens from
that place were present. Many
residents of Lafayette were among
the audience, but it is safe to say
that few of them were in sympathy
with the purpose of the meeting.
Several railroad men who live in
Houston, but who have been de-
tanned here by the quarantine, were
in attendance.
The meeting was called to order
by F. H. Gregory, the well-known
locomotive engineer, who stated that
they had been called together to
take steps toward the modification
of the present quarantine regula-
tons so as to enable the running of
trains under certain restrictions.
Judge Alphonse Guilbeau, of
Carencro, was elected permanent
chairman, and c. F. Latiolais, of
Carencro, and H. A.. Vandercruys-
sen, of Lafayette, were made secre-
taries.
: The following gentlemen were
nominated and elected vice-presi-
dents of the meeting: DR.. F. w.
Courtney and L. G. Sicily of Car
encro, John Hahn, J. B. Coffey and
F. H. Gregory of Lafayette.
Before the transaction of any
business, Judge Guilbeau made a
few appropriate remarks, stating
that the object of the meeting was
to have railway traffic resumed SO
as to enable planters to move their
crops.
Being called upon the following
gentlemen made short speeches:
d. A. Dimitry, ]. R. Domengeaux,
Drs. C. A. Martin and F. w.
Courtney.
When the time came to appoint
the committee on resolutions, the
meeting encountered some difficult
ty. Several gentlemen were re-
quested to serve on this committee
but not being in sympathy with the
movement asked that their names
be stricken off.
The following committee was
finally appointed: Drs. w. w.
LESLEY and F. w. Courtney, VIM.
Clegg, J. M. Jones, J. R. Domen-
geau, and H. E. Toll.
A recess was taken to allow
olutions.
The committee then retired and
after short meeting brought in its
report which is as follows:
To the Chairman and Gentlemen:
We, your committee appointed to
express the sentiment of this meet
ing, beg to report as follows:
Recognizing the gravity of the
situation and the responsibility
resting upon the authorities in the
emergency that seems crowding
upon us, the impending danger of
the invasion of a fearful pestilence,
would suggest that all effective
measures be taken to protect the
lives of those we hold dear, and at
the same time mitigate as much as
possible the deprivations attending
an absolute quarantine; therefore,

"MY REASONS. I"

FRIEND, HOMER MoUroN, WITH
WHOM 1 HAVE ENJOYED MANY A
, FRIENDLY TILT OVER THE YELLOW
, FEVER SITUATION WITHOUT THE
SLIGHTEST SHOW OF TEMPER OR
BAD FEELING AT ANY TINE, BY
EITHER OF US.
First. 1t is self-evident PROPOSE
ton that yellow fever can not be
conveyed from one non infected
point to another nos- infected point.
Second. tits matter of daily oc-
ular. demonstration that certain
classes of merchandise do not carry
the germ of yellow fever, or any
other contagious or infectious di-
sease when disinfected in accordance
with we'll established sanitary rules.
Merchandise of this class from
countries where there is infection
twelve months in the year, are con-
tinually being landed at our sea-
ports and allowed to be distributed
among the American people for
daily consumption, without any bad
results, after undergoing the pre-
scribed quarantine regulations.
Third. It is equally true, and of
daily public record, that passengers
can not and do rof propagate an in
fictitious disease after submitting to
detention and disinfectie.n.
The foregoing are scientific facts
in actual daily demonstration, that
can not be contIoverted by any
amount Of mental fear, sentiment or
shotgun argument.
The practical adaptability of any
one or two. or ali three. Of the
propositions just stated, to our
present and greatly disadvantageous
situation. will not be denied by an
unbiased mind, and an intelligent
adaptation of our needs to the fun
damental principles underlying
these propositions would relieve to
a very appreciable extent the de-
cidedly inconvenient position in
which we are now placed.
The moving of the cane and cot.
ton crops, the marketing of country
produce and the receiving of food
supplies and other necessaries, is of
secondary consideration only If it
can not be accomplished without
the risk of introducing yellow fever
in our midst. That this can be
done in the manner already stated
will be gainsaid only by those who
are want to usurp the right of set
Ting questions of this great magni-
tude by a simple twist Of the mind.
1t has not been left to the people Of
southwest Louisiana to decide the
merit of the principles here in
volved, but the conclusion has been
arrived at as the result Of ages of
scientific research, a conclusion
long since accepted by the world.
1t is the province Of any people
to exercise their privilege of taking
exception to great truth
acknowledged by entire nations
aud, in a country where it has been
thought wisest for the majority to
rule, the minority has no alterna-
tive but to submit.
I have not purposed by my re-
marks to imPugn the Conscientious
ness of any man in adhering to his
individual opinion, but simply
wished to make known my reasons
for sympathizing with the move
ment for 4 modified quarantine.

Sends ReassurIng Message on Pros
poets In Cuba.


Madrid, Nov. 3.-Marshal Blanco. the
new captain general OF Cuba, has sent
n cable message to the Spanish govern
ment saying he has formed a favorable
opinion regarding the prospects for the
pacitication of Cuba.
a semi-ofIicial note was circulated
Tuesday giving more exact indication
Of the contents OF the Spanish note in
reply 10 the communication of the
United States on the subject of Cuba
than has hitherto been published. The
first part OF the reply is a paraphrase
OF the latest note of the United States.
it concludes with the assurance that
Spain is animated by the same friendly
feeling as expressed on behalf of the
United States. The second part OF the
reply goes into elaborate details con-
corning the various filibustering expe-
dtions
Spain, in concluding that portion of
her reply TO the United States, ex-
presses the hope that this phase of the
situation will be changed, and that the
United States will try 10 prevent fur
Their violations of international law"
Replying to the offer of mediation made
by the United States, Spain says she
hopes the United States will net "loy-
ally and correctly in helping Spain TO
pucify Cuba, especially in view OF the
tact that such an extended form of au-
Economist government is about TO be
sincerely granted" The general feel
ing here is more hopeful OF a peaceful
outcome OF the situation. especially
since Marshal Blanco's arrival at Ha-
vana, as il is believed his presence will
greatly further the solving Of the Cuban
problem. AT the same time ii Is pointed
out that the submission OF the In
surgents cannot be expected unless
they are entirely abandoned by the
United States"
