sion of 1898, Queen Wilhelmina will have
commenced to reign.

Queen of the Netherlands, was born Au-
gust 81, 1880. She is a daughter of the

COLD CHECKS FEVER.
Situation at New Orleans In
proved New Cases But
Of Mild Type.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 81, 1S9I-The
local fever situation was greatly i'm
proved this morning by a materially
lower temperature, the thermometer at
six O'Clock being 62. Incubation of yell
low fever germs requires a sustained
Fahrenheit temperature of 70 and If the
present cool spell continues, conditions
promise steadily to grow better Whlie
eighteen cases were reported yesterday,
at least nine were properly to be accred-
tied to Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
and only on of these cases was OF any
thing but q mild type, the exception De-
ing an unacclimated stranger. There
have been no new cases reported this
morning and no news.
DIR. Touatre, an eminent and expert
enced yellow fever physician and mem
ber of the Board of Experts, says IN an
interview that the records since 1898 snow
that yellow fever has never been declar-
ed epidemic in any year after its appear
ance here inside of two or three months.
That was the case in 1858, '5S, '67 and rs.
The history of the epidemics OF the last
half century prove that all epidemles
waned with the first cold of October,
disappearing almost entirely in November.
If we add a month and a half more to
the period of incubation for infectious
foci to establish themselves, we are
brought almost to the end of October
To have an epidemic at that late date Is
out of the question.
DR.. Touatre produces number of in
stances where fever broke out in August
September and October, only to be quickly
stamped out by the frost before it hae
assumed the proportions of an epidemic.
The principal topic of interest today is
the letter of DR.. Holt, replying to The
criticism that he had not promptly re-
ported his nine cases to the Board o.
Health and his rather fierce criticism Of
the action of the Board of Health in fail
ing to quarantine Ocean Springs early
enough to have prevented the arrival here
of large number of people with thell
baggage from the infected points on the
coast. causing the introduction of the
fever in this city. The session of the
Board of Health this afternoon, when DR.
Holt will be arraigned, together witt
two other physicians who are alleged te
have violated the city and Board o.
Health laws, promises to be among the
most spicy sessions ever held by tha
body.

HANNIs TAYLOR IN LONDON.
Ex- mister to Spain Preparing an
Important Historical Work.

TBy Cable to The Associated Press
London, Sept 21 1S97.-Mr. Hannis
Taylor, the former United States Minister
to Spain, arrived here yesterday evening
and called at the United States Embassy
today. In an interview Mr.. Taylor said
''The grave negotiations now pending
between the United States and Spain as
to the war in Cuba are now entirely in
the hands of General Woodford, who has
had fruitful experience both in peace and
war, and will be equal to that occasion,
whatever it may be-"
Mr.. Taylor was questioned in regard to
the accuracy of the statements contained
in the despatch from San Sebastian to
the '.Tempts" of Paris, purporting to
give the substance of the interview which
took place on Sunday last between Gen
eral Stewart L. Woodford, the United
States Minister to Spain, and the Duke
of Tetaun, the Spanish Minister for For
eign Affairs, in which General Woodford
is said to have insisted courteously but
firmly upon the necessity of terminating
the war in Cuba and to have declared
that if it is not terminated by the end of
October the United States will feel justi-
fed in taking measures to secure the in
dependence of Cuba. In reply, the former
Minister said
my lips are sealed until after my ar
rival at Washington"
But while Mr. Taylor refused to dis
cuss this matter, his manner tended to
confirm the story told by the correspon-
dent of the Paris Temps"
Regarding the general feeling in
Spain, Mr.. Taylor remarked
''I must in justice say that have never
received any personal discourtesy from
any one, but for the past year by resi-
denca was Guarded nv soldiers -
Mr.. Taylor will pay a visit to Professor
Freeman at Oxford, will complete his
book, and will sail for hime on Octo-
Der 2.
Mr.. Hannis Taylor for long time past
has been engaged on a book which is to
bear the title of 1.-THE Origin and Growth
1895. he went to Oxford to obtain material
with which to complete his work.
