ALIKE STRICKEN
Fever No Respecter of
Persons at New Or
leans.
Continued Increase of Cases,
but the Death Rate Is
Still Low.
Bitter Fight Against the Health
Board for Insisting on Rigid
Quarantine.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. To-day was
again something OF record breaker in
the matter of new cases. They cropped
up in all directions, but up TO 6 O'Clock
the death record was still low. The fever
is rapidly spreading in many directions,
but the large majority of cases are proving
to be of a harmless type.
The weather is warm and the conditions
excellent for new cases. but the death per-
centage has fallen considerably below the
record of 1873 Twenty-Five new cases
were reported to-day and the death of
Antonio Sinacoa of Paul s.. Phillip.
Among the new cases is that of DR..
Beverly Warner, pastor of the rich Trinity
Church. His case is mild one. Rich
and DOOR alike have been stricken to-day,
and the reports 10 the Board OF Health
seem to show that the best-drained and
best-kept streets are presenting cases as
numerously as those which are min US
sanitation.
The authorities continue to keep the
waterworks open ana every gutter is
filled with running water.
a number of cases, some ten or more,
were discharged to-day as cured.
A bitter fight is being made on the
Board of Health because of its insisting
on quarantining inmates of houses in
which yellow fever exists and those
houses which Immediately adioin.
DR.. Guiteras, having expressed the opin.
ion tha, it is possible to confine the infec-
tion within the room where the patient
may be lying, has strengthened the fig 1t
OF the public against quarantine meas
ures. In spite of the storm of protests,
however, many eminent physicians and
professional men are urging the board to
continue its present course in quarantine
ing houses.
The crisis is either here now or close at
hand, and 1t is not sonsidered wise, no
matter what may be the public indigna-
tion, to jeopardiZe the health of the whole
community by allowing people in infected
houses or living next door to them to 60
at rand ON.
The fever here has, ofcourse, not been d e.
clared epidemic, and Tor that reason ply
sicians are disiuclined to report yellow
fever. A number OF doctors said tonight
in formal protest that If their names are
reported in connection with yellow fever
cases their practice would suffer. Nobody
would send for them if they have any
thing to do with yellow fever cases.

UR0V PACIFIC FORECLOSURE.
Sale fst of RoYem6er-Question of the
Great hajIroad Bridge at
Cmaha.

T. NEW YORK, n. Y, Oct. IA special
from Washington to the Herald says that
President Mckinley and Attorney.Gen-
eral McKenna devoted an hour after the
meeting OF the Cabinet to discussion of
the proposed foreclosure sale of the Union
Pacific Railroad.
All the officials are very retieent as 10
what is being done, and about the only
thing that can be learned or said with cer-
tainty is that the foreclosure sale Will take
place November /.
Authorizes are giving out the impress
sion that in some manner the Govern
ment is 10 get from $4, 600 600 10 So 0G0 900
more out OF the transaction than ii would
have received under the original PROPOSE
tion of the reorganization syndicate.
A member of the Cabinet intimated to
me that the new condition in sisted upon
bv the administration amounted practi-
cally to an increase i'll the bid guaranteed
by the syndicate.
"A synopsis of the advertisement pub
lished in Omaha and telegraphed East
shows that the bonds in the sinking fund
are to be put up at auction, and the mini
mum BID which is to be received is placed
at $13, GAS, $50, which is the face value of
the bonds.
The public debt statement, issued to-
day. shows S4. 537, PIG So in cash in the
sinking fund. 1t may be that the disposi-
ton OF this cash has something to do with
the incre ased amount the Government is
TO receive.
There is some question as TO the value
OF the bonds IN the:sin king fund. Some
OF them are UBion Pacific bonds, on
which interest has not been paid and
which are worth less than par. Others
are United States bOnds. worth more than
par.
The sinking fund and its disposition
was one of the questions discussed by the
AtloTney-General and the President.
Ii is understood the reorganization SYM
dictate wishes 10 extend these payments
over much longer time than the Govern
ment is willing TO agree: TO.
|" Another question winch may affect the
amount of The bid is as to whether or: not
the Omaha bpageis being included in the
property sold. The Union Pacific repre-
sentatives have eontehJed that it was. n OF
covered by the Government lien. :.

+ BERLIN, GERMANY, Oct 1.-The off
cials of the United States Embassy and OF
the United States Consulate here saw
there is no truth in the story contained in
a dispatch from Berlin to the London
Daily Chronicle saying that Presiden
Mckinley had instructed the new United
States Consul-General al Berlin Tin the alb
sence OF ambassador White. who has been
spending fortnight at Heringsdorf). to
giye an opinion as to the alteration of the
Samoan treaty, and that il was believed
that the United States intended to invite
new conference on the subject 1t was
added that Germany was certain to OBJ iect
strenuously to any weakening of her hold
on Samoa, and thst the complete cession
of tie group of islands to Great Britain
would meet with far more. support in Ber-
lin than would American occupation OF
those islands.
The Vossische Zeitung expresses the
opinion that Samoa ought to become Ger
man, as two-thirds of the land is owned
by Germans. The Vossische Zsitung also
says: The existing treaty must be abol.
ished and order re-established.
Other newspapers express similar views
on the subject.

Foreign Affairs Fully
Discussed by Mckinley
and Advisers.
Governments CeSe Against
the Union Pacific Also
Consid cred.
Considerable Attention Devoted to
Hawaii and the Cabinet Crisis
in Spain.

WASHINGTON, D. e., Oct The
first meeting OF the Cabinet since the re-
turn of the Presid ent from Massachusetts
was held to-day and was attended by every
mem ber except Secretary Gage, who is
not in Washington. The meeting lasted
longer than usual, in explanation of which
fact it Is said that several Cabinet men,
bers were present for the first time in
many weeks and naturally thought it an
opportunity to inform themselves fully
upon the condition of affairs on their re-
turn. The foreign affairs occupied the
greater portion OF the time given up to
discussion, though prosecution of the
Governments case against the Union Pa
clfic Railroad Company also came in for
good deal of consideration. Indeed, it is
said that the only action of the Cabinet
to-day was in the interest of closing this
issue, and it can be stated that the details
of the plan of the Government have been
arranged a. last.
The Spanish crisis attracted much at.
tention and was discussed at some length.
For some reason MINI ster Woodford has
still left his Government officially unad-
vised of the recent happenings in Madrid,
and nothing has been heard from him
SINCE ms interview with the Duke OF
Tetuan, the Spanish Minister for Foreign
Affairs in the last Cabinet. This fact COM
PEELED a reliance upon the newspaper re-
ports of the recent important events in
Spain.
1t may be said that there seems to be a
general belief among the mem bers of the
Presidents official family that the Madrid
crisis, If not making for our good, cannot
be expected to injure our relations with
Spain. This belief is based upon the idea
that If Conservative cabinet succeeds
the Azcarraga Ministry the worst that can
happen will be continua ton of the pres
ent line of policy, for Spain is too near an
end of her financial resources to put forth
more strenuous efforts TO subdue the
Cuhans. Or the other hand it is believed
that Liberal Ministry viii almost cer-
tainiy offer good opportunity for bring
ing the present war to an end.
The conditions of hawaii as revealed
to Admirai Beardslee were talked of, and
with evident satisfaction the Cabinet re-
ceived the ad dmiraPs statement that in all
his stay in Hawaiian waters his relations
with the Japanese officials on shore and
on the cruiser Naniwa We're of the most
pleasant nature. In no case had there
been the slightest exhibition of purpose
on the part of japanese commanders to
attempt any coup, and there were con-
slant exchanges OF visits between the
officers of the Naniwa and of the United
States warship.

WOoDFORD's famous NOTE.
1t Merely Offered the Good offices of III

1t Merely offered the Good offices of fhe
United states.
CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. IA Washington
special to the Times Herald says: It is
now possible for the Times erald TO give
not the exacttext ofthe famous w, odford
note TO Spain, but a fair statement of its
su Instance.
/: This now celebrated and much-dis-
cussed document simply expresses on the
part of the United States the hope that
the war Will be brought to close as
speedily as possible, but there is no date
fixed when the consummation is to be
reached, and thta the interests OF Spain.
no less than the in erests OF the United
States, the interests of humanity and the
interests of the world at large, are reasons
why the war should be ended with the
least possible delay.
And: with that in view, acting as a
friend OF Spain. because of the great stake
which~the United States has in Cuba,
financially and otherwise, because of the
annoyance TO which the United States
has been put by maintaining patrol over
and preventing the sailing of tilibuster.
ing expeditions and because civilization
opposes war, the United States tenders to
Spain its good offices TO act as a friend
between the mother country and her re-
bellious colony. in the hope that she may
be able to effect a settlement and bring
the warfare to close.
This is all there is in the note. There
is not the falntest suggestion of this Gov
ernnent forcing upon Spain her good
offices il she does not care to voluntarily
accept them, nor is there an intlmation
that the war must be brought 10 an end
within a certain time or that Spain must
ans swer this note within a fixed time.
