be no answer to this letter; from the
Marquis of Salisbury, except brief
note to Col. Hay, much in the nature
of an acknowledgment, and briefly
stating the terms on which a confer-
ence would be held at Washington,
adding that other portions of Mr..
Sherman's dispatch had been suf-
ficiently answered in the past, in so
far as they required any reply. Lord
Salisbury's last letter mentions only
experts nominated by Great Britain
the United States and Canada in refer
ring to conference this October in
Washington of "the powers Interested

by this there is apparently an implied
exclusion of Russia and Japan.
The blue book does not, for some
reason, contain Col. Hays letter Of the
next day. July 20, stating that the
president hoped that representatives
of Russia and Japan would be present
at the conference. Prominence is given
to dispatches between this government
and the British foreign office as to the
relations under which British and Ca
madam sealing vessels shall pursue
their vocation. In brief, these show
that the British government agreed to
review for the present season the ar
rangement of 1894 as to sealing up of
their arms. This made 1t optional
with masters of vessels to have fire
arms sealed up by United States or
British naval officers, whose certifi-
Gates operated as safeguard to them
in case of subsequent seizure, the seal
ing up being prima facia evidence that
the arms were not in use. The United
States urged that this agreement
should be extended, making the United
States regulations binding instead of
optional Lord Salisbury's concluding
dispatches on this subject express re-
gret at declining to accept the pro-
posal that United States regulations
shall apply to British vessels, adding
that British regulations, deemed to be
sufficient, have been issued.

Showing for the Week More Favor

NEW YORK, Oct. 2-The Financier
says: The statement of the associated
banks of New York for the week end
ing Oct. 2, is proof that there is no oc-
casion for the fears entertained earlier
in the season of an actual stringency
in the money market. Despite the
steady drain on the banks by reason of
the interior demand for crop money.
the reserves are maintained at a secure
point, and the natural effect of condi-
tions which have been making all sea-
son may be trusted to obviate any de-
parture from this standard in the fu-
ture. The liquidation in loans contin-
ues, the loss for the week bringing the
total to an amount of $7,320,200 under

same time deposits have fallen off ST.

about $4,000 AS money has beel.
flowing to the interior at the rate o.
four or five millions weekly during this
time, it will be seen that the banks
have stood the drain very easily. The
demand for funds still continues,
though in lessened volume than report
ed for several weeks past.
The decrease in deposits for the past
week of course lowered the reserve re-
quirements appreciably. The $1.5OO, OO0
gold received from Europe by one of
the banks does not seem to figure in
the current statement. The deposit
changes of the larger banks have been
unusually heavy during the week, the
institutions having the largest num-
ber Of correspondents reporting losses
as a rule, although others which figure
in the call market have been affected
by the general liquidation. The Oc,
tober settlements have brought about
some shifting Of funds, but the dis
bursements now being made will be
shown to a greater extent in the next
statement. The Union Pacific fore

DIR. Guiteras Sums Up His Observa-
tiOns in the Infected Districts
of the South.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 2.-Numerous
cases of yellow fever appeared here to-
day, as was expected. The weather is
warm, and the foci of infection have
increased. The malignancy of the dis
ease, however, has not been empha
sized. There were four deaths today.
There were also many discharges OF
patients, among them being R. F. Rey-
nolds, of the Illinois Central railroad.
Mr.. Roddy, of the same road, is doing
we'll, and his case is not considered
serious. The new cases are widely
scattered. No section of the city now
escapes the Infection. There were
twenty-three new cases reported mp to
noon. The deaths were: Miss Mary
Bowers, 6313 Phillips street; Henry
Bourrizie mentioned last night; Mrs.
Paul Engel, 1906 Thoupiloula, and A.
M. Hickey, Beauregard hospital.
Among the new cases today is that
of Maj. E. ]. Hamilton, a well-known
insurance man, who is slated as the
successor of Chief of Police easier. His
case is not considered serious one.
Another case developed in the asylum
where there are now at least dozen
sick people.
Gov Foster today sent the following
telegram to Gov Culberson, of Texas,
and Gov. McLaurin. Of Mississippi
The presence of yellow fever at New Or

feeling of relief in officialEcircles here.
Although no advices have yet come
from United States Minister Woodford,
or from any official source, there was
no disposition to question the fact, and
it was also assumed that SSagasta will
accept the commission. Warrant for the
latter belief is found ins the expression
of the great Liberal leader yesterday
as quoted in the cables dispatches, of
his readiness to undertake to form
cabinet at the queen regents bidding.
In the view of the administration, the
United States and Cuba have all to
gain and nothing to loseS by the Liberal
accession to power. Even II the party
is not willing to go as far as the +eA-
treme Cuban sympathizers in the Unit
ed States wish, 1t is felt that there Will
certainly be a most liberal offering of
concessions to secure peace in Cuba.
Another result that is expected is
the withdrawal either by resignation
or recall of Weyler from the captain
general of Cuba, for the relations De-
tween Sagasta and the general are
such, owing to open expressions OF
condemnation by the former OF the
latters course in Cuba, that they can
not be expected both to remain IN the
same administration. Neyier's with
drawal, it is believed, would result IN a
general relaxation of the severity OF
the Cuba campaigns, assuming that
the war is to continue for time at
least, and there will be less complaint
of rigorous treatment Of individuals
suspected of lending aid to the rebels.
The choice of Sagasta to form a
cabinet had been expected for several
days, and gave general Satisfaction
among diplomats who regard this as
a distinct step toward ali abandon
ment of the aggressive policy thus far
pursued toward Cuha, and the SUD-
stitution of conciliatcry methods for
militarism. Sagasta is said to nave
stood from the first in opposition 10
the policy pursued by Spain fer the
last year. Those familiar with affairs
in Spain say the Sagasta view has be-
come very popular in Spain.
The retirement of Senor Depuy de
Lone is probable as a result OF the
formation of Liberal ministry, and
it is believed the minister will tender
his resignation as soon as ne Is Of
ficialy advised of the advent OF the
Sagasta cabinet. Once before he has
placed his resignation at the disposal
Of the ministry, but it was not ac-
cepted, as no change of parties and
policies was involved. The present
change at Madrid is so complete, how
ever, that it is believed the minister S
resignation will be unconditional He
has not yet returned to Washington
from LenoX, Mass.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The British
blue book on the Bering sea was re-
ceived here today and was scanned
with interest by the few officials to
whom it became available, owing to
the controversy on the subject, in
which not only this country and Great
Britain, but also Russia and Japan
have taken part. The volume covers
1870 large printed pages, and apparently
