WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Two theaters
contenaed tonight for the presence of
Evangellna Cossio y Cisneros. She at
tended the Colum bia. The discriminating
people of Washington are growing tired
OF the Cisneros advertising business, and
the novelty of that episode now being over
with, feeling OF weariness takes its place,
and the public will be glad when she re-
tires 10 her convent in Georgetown, D. c.
1t is not yet definitely settled where she
will be placed in school, but it is likely
she will enter the Catholic school in
Georgetown.
A well-authenticated story is prevalent
in diplomatic circles here to the effect that
General Weyler was glad 70 get rid of he
girl 1t appears that the hero, Karl
Decker, offered TO bribe the jail-keeper,
and that worthy reported the matter to
Weyler, who intimated TO the jaiIe- that
he did not care whether she escaped or
no. Mr.. Deckers work was then made
easy. There is beginning to be feaing
Of disgust over the whole Cisneros affair
Hon. John G. Carlisle voices the senti-
ment OF the Washington people when he
says that it is disgusting piece of busi-
ness. He is said TO be of til he opinion that
Nj. DecKer's admission that he practiced
bri berry might be ground for his ind ict-
ment and extradition by the Spanish
Government, for bribery is a felony, but
II IS pretty well believed here that General
Wey er was glad enough to get rid of
Miss Cisneros. and he will let the matter
drop. This information comes from a
thoroughly reliable source.
Meanwhile, the Washington papers are
discussing the latest news from Spain.
The Evening Star states:
IL as announced in the Madrid dis
ratches, the answer OF Spain to Minister
Woodlords communication comes in the
form of a demand that the United States
Government put an end to hlibUsterlng
expeditions to Cuba, it will provoke a
sharp rejolnder from Secretary Sherman
Scarcely more irriIa ting reply could be
made by Spain than one which attempts
to put upon the United States the re-
sponsibility for the prolongat1on OF the
Cuban struggle.
I'm the face of a clamorously expressed
Tublic sentiment this Government has
refrained from any recognition of or ac-
tive sym pathy with the Cuban lnsur-
gents, and the power of the Government
has been to prevent tiIibustering to an ex-
tent far beyond what Congress has re-
garded as warranted, even if our sympa-
ihies had been with Spain. For Spain to
demand stlll more effective police service
OF tn Government, and to attempt to fix
on the United States the responsibility for
he strength and endurance of the re bel
lion, will be Irritating, even exasperating, g,
to the administration
Those VINO thoroughly understand the
Presidents attitude in the matter know
that he and his Secretary of State are
neither timid nor yaciilating, nor are they

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Judge Tuthill,
States Attorney Deneen. Assistan t
States Attorney McEwan, ex-Judge
Vincent and Attorney Phalen had an
informal conference lasting over an
hour in the Judges private cham Der to-
day.
Luetgert was brought into court and
the report went abroad that a formal
motion to admit him to bail would i'm
mediateIy follow the conference. When
the conference was over Luetgert was
taken back 10 jail.
George Middleton, manager of a mu-
scum. was in the Criminal Court building
to-day, and 1t was said he was ready to
schedule $4,000 and to sign Luetgert's
bond il the noted prisoner would place
himself on exhibition at a salary of $500
per week. Luetgert is not favorably i'm
pressed with the proposition, as he be-
lieves it would iniure his business in the
future.
No agreement was reached at the con-
ference. States Attorney Deneen vigor-
ously opposed the demand that the
prisoner be released on bail, and the up
shot of the argument was that no formal
demand for the prisoners admission to
pa was made.
Ex-Judge Vincent said he would let the
mater rest for two or three days and the n
make a formal application. He added
that any reasonable bond could be given
1t was intimated that if the formal de-
mand was denied writ of habeas corpus
would be applied for. If this action is
taken States Attorney DeDeen SAYS he
will at once put the Lueteert case on the
call calendar again, and it is among the
possibilities that the big sausage maker
may again be on trial for his life by the
II iddle of next week.
Speaking of the prospects of a new trial
Judge Tuthll said
II fancy Luetgert will never again be
tried in court in this county. That is a
question which must be decided upon
when the State gets ready to make anot her
move. From the wide publicity which
the newspapers have given the evidence
in the case. the marked attention which
it has attracted in all parts of the coun try
and the freDZied interest which the people
of Chicago have taken in the trial. l hard
ly think the prosecution can find twelve
men who have not already tried the
accused in their own minus and either
acquitted or convicted him. That is the
problem confronting the States Attorney
now, and unless he solves it by producing g
the men, Of course Luetgert will go iree.'

THINK WAR INEVITABLE.
Naval Officers Point to Many Sug-
ges;iVe Indications OF
Conflict With Spain.


NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-The possibility
OF war with Spain is being discussed by
officers anu men at the navy-yard with
great interest. 1t is the prevailing opin-
ion among officers, on shore duty and
otherwise that a conflict is inevita bic,
and they point to many suggestive ind-
cations 10 show that the ad II inisIration is
of the same opinion,
Some of these are negative, such as the
countermanding OF orders for the squad
ron, or a portion of it, tc go south or even
10 the West Indies. When the plans for
the cruise OF the torpedo fotilla along
the Atlantic coast and up the Mississippi
River, which originated with Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt, were countermanded
almost simultaneously with the return OF
Secretary Long, the action was interpreted
Dy some as meaning that Mr.. Roosevelt
had been rebuked by his chief.
The torpedo boat officers do not take
that view of the case. Those not now
with the fiotilla have no official knowl-
edge OF any such change III the pro-
gramme.
IL appears to be the plan, as now ar
ranged, that the torpedo boats will rem
devious with the squadron at or near
Hampton Roads, where all will be within
easy reach OF orders, or the enemy in case
of emergency. Never has the navy as a
whole been IN a better state of readiness
for trouble.
According to navy-yard talk, the real
reason Tor the urgent demand for progress
on the repair Of the big drydock, which
led 0 the detail of Constructor Bowles to
supe rlntend the construction OF the Golfer
dam, was a pOss bility OF war.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 22-The fever
situation is as tickle as a weather vane.
For two or three days the new cases and
deaths will run to alarming figures. On
following days both cases and deaths will
drop and the impression given is that
high water mark has been reached and
that the disease is OH the wane.
Then there will be another jump. The
situation yesterday was extremely encour-
aging. Tonight at 10 clock the cases had
nearly reached fifty and there had been
five deaths, OF which one was a dis
tinguished citizen, the Rev. Dr.. Purser of
the Valence-street Baptist Church. DR..
Purser was from Mississippi, and was a
gallant soldier during the war. Five or si1
years ago he ca me to New Orleans and be-
came the pastor of leading uptown
church.
Three cases developed to-day in the
asylum for destitute orphan boys, and it
seems now as if every Institution of this
character in the city will be infected to
some extent be fore the disease is stamped
out. Eight or more have already reported
cases. The list OF new cases has been
swelled by three in the home of State
Senator Cage. Mr.. Cage was taken sick a
few days ago. His wife, who nursed him,
was stricken to-day, as we're a relative
and a servant. Several cases to-day ap-
pear in houses that were previously in
fected.
There have been rumors OF frost in the
outlying country. Captain Kerkam of
the Weather Bureau SAYS, however, that
the temperature in Louisiana has been
ntireIy too high for frost, and that none
need be expected until November. This
was the records of deaths TO-DAY: Mag
define Kern. Robert Gordon, David A
Purser, L. Barrose, Charles Bohle.
MOBILE, ALA, Oct. 22-Ten new cases
were repor ed to-day, five of which we're
taken from the Italian bark Livomus
There were two deaths, Norma Forrest
and Ravmon Villaneuve.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. 22-Presid ent
Thornton of the Board of Health tonight
officially declared that a case of yellow
fever exists In Memphis. The case is that
of B. II. McFerrin, reported last night as
suspicious. He is yard conductor, and
was taken sick Sunday. There is no ex-
citement among the people of Memphis,

A Scientist Has shown That Their VI
bratiOns Are Not Dangerous.

bratiOns Are Not Dangerous.
Nothing terrifies the average person
who ascends one of the higher stories
of a modern skyscraper more than to
feel the building tremble beneath him.
1t is comforting to know that Prof.
Wilhelm Ritter. of Zurich, has demon
strated that there is no danger at all,
and that the architects theory to that
effect is absolutely true. 1t has been
shown that the greater actual vibra-
,tion which takes place is one-thirty-
ond of an inch.
Prof. Ritter calculated that there was
no better way to test the actual effects
of what the architect calls the legiti-
mate vibration, than to experiment
with regulation bell tower. In Zu-
rich there is tower of this descrip-
tion, which is 391h meters, or about 1870
feet high This tower is as firm, so
far as structure and foundations are
concerned, as the ordinary skyscraper.
1t contains five bells, ranging in
weight from 425 to 3,430 Kilograms, or
from $40 to $500 pounds. The vibra-
ton of the tower when the bells were
rung would, Prof. Ritter thought, be
its maximum, because of the combined
effect of sound and motion. 1t is
singular fact that the ringing of the
light bells produced greater oscillations
of the tower than the heavy ones, show
ing that the vibrations caused by the
higher octaves were greater than those
resulting from the heavier tones.
1t is proved. therefore, that what the
skyscraper must fear is sound, rather
than actual motion, and the dull
roar of machinery has less vibrating
power than the high notes produced by.
say, circular saw or some machinery
that gives something of the same sound
when in motion.
In the Zurich experiment che hori-
zontal oscillations of the tower were
elliptical in shape and variable in size,
those produced by bell of ,450 pounds
swung So times a minute, being at a
maximum of SO millimeters long
and "a millimeters wide, the long
est axis being in the direction of
the bell. When the five bells were rung
at once the ellipse had a maximum ma
jor axis of 5 s millimeters and a minor
axis of IA millimeters The bells were
swung from As to 81 times a minute,
while the tower osciliated quite uni
formly at an average of 100 times a
minute.-N Y Herald.
