NOT A SINGLE CASE.
New Orleans Has, to All Intents, a
 Clean Bill of Health.
ABsENTEEs RETURNING TO THE CITY.
There is More Scare Away From New Orleans than In the City and Pre- cautions for Safety Are Not
 Being Abated.

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 9.-The Louisi- ana state board of health is in full con trol of the situation. Although per feet arrangements have been made for the prompt report of either yellow fever or suspicious cases. there has not been a single case reported to the board, and the authorities frankly de- clare. that no more sickness of viru- lent type will be imported.
 In spite of New Orleans clean bill of health, however, towns in Louisiana and Mississippi continue to declare quarantine. There is infinitely more scare away from here than there is in this city where confidence has entire ly returned. It is confidently believed, however, that Immunity from yellow jack for eight or ten days will bring Mobile and the Mississippi and Louisi- ana towns to their senses and move them to tear down their barriers.
 There was . busy scene at Louisville & Nashville depot when the trains ar rived. The raising of the quarantine against Bay St. Louis and Pass Chris tian had the effect of driving hundreds into the city, not because they feared the fever, but because they did not care to be held up in those places indefinitely if any more cases of fever should appear. Among those who have been detained at the Bay and the Pass for several days are many prominent insurance. financial and other business men, and they are all glad to get back to the city.
 Owing to the fact that operators at coast cities have been greatly overworked and almost smothered with private messages, general news from these points trickles in slowly. No advice has been re- ceived at this writing of the appear ance of further cases at Biloxi. but in the immediate vicinity of Point Cadet, it is not unlikely that there will bs others stricken besides those already on their backs. In the section men, tioned the conditions are such as to in- cases.
 In the meantime stringent measures are being taken to confine the disease there.
 Thus far there have been no pressing appeals from Mississippi for physicians to aid the doctors who are there, and unless there is widespread outbreak of the disease the present force of phy- sicians at Biloxi and Ocean Springs will be able to handle all existing cases.

ENANGEIlNA COSSlO I ClSNEROS. was given to understand that her name was on the pardon list. She has com fortable quarters, and is treated as we'll as possible under the conditions. There is good deal of suffering in Cuba, but the Americans numbering about 1,400. are being cared for from the fund of $50, 900 which was appro- priated for that purpose. They receive relief daily, and up to the present time about Sl5,0 has been expended"
 ''Is there any sign of business im- provement or change for the better in Cuba?" asked the reporter.
 No, l am sorry to say there is not" '" replied the general, 'and there will not be any improvement until the war is ended"
 When will that be, general?"
 To this last question Gen. Lee re- piled in Spanish, a free translation ot which is: That is too much for me; can not say"
 Gen. Lee and Fitzhugh Lee, Jr., will go to West Point to see his other son, George M., who is at the military academy there, and Thursday they will leave for Washington. Among the other passengers on board were Robt l.. Oliver, United States consul at Merida, Mexico, and Geo, W. Fish back, of this city, who was said to have been sent to Havana on business for the United States government. Mir. Fishback said that his trip to Havana was pure ly on private business. Mir. Fish hback said that there was a great deal of sui fering all over Cuba, and that the con dition of the people was even worse than when he was there last to assist Commissioner Calhoun when the latter was Investigating the Ruiz case. He saw Miss Cisneros at the Casa Rhcohi- das, and he said the report regarding her treatment were grossly exaggerat- ed, and that the young woman was fairly we'll treated and did not com. plain when he was speaking to her.

AMONG THE MINERS.
Preliminaries to the Delegate Con-

Preliminary to the Columbus Convention.
 PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. s.-The Pitts burgh miners convention, to select delegates to the national convention, which meets at Columbus Wednesday, to consider and determine whether or not the proposition that the miners re- turn to work at flat rate of 65 cents per ton be accepted, assembled here with nearly TOO delegates, representing every mine in the dis trict, attending. The morning session was taken up with receiving creden- tials and forming an organization. The delegates are divided upon the question of accepting 65 cents or stand ing firm for the 69 cent rate, but it is thought the influence of the leaders will result in a declaration for the compromise rate.
 President Dolan stated that the ac- 1 ceptance of the 65-cent rate by the miners did not necessarily carry with it the complete ending of the strike. At the mines of the New York & Cleve- land Gas Coal Go. camps will still be maintained and the strike vigorously continued. In the case of any and all mines throughout the district that refuse to pay the rate agreed upon at the Columbus convention the strike would be kept up, and at all such points camps would be re-established and every know law tul and peaceful means would be used to keep those mines closed until the operators thereof agreed to pay the established rate. This statement was in view of the fact that it had been reported that there would probably be some mines where the rate would not be paid. President Dolan also stated that the delegates to the convention were all uninstructed. and that they would go into the convention to decide the question of the accept ance of the 65-cent rate or its rejection, entirely free from any influence of other than their own opinions and beliefs as to what was the best for the men.

DlSGUSTEO DEMOCRATS.
In Steering Away From Populist They Nominated Cleveland Democrat

Nominated & Cleveland Democrat.
 DENVER, Col, Sept. s.-There is con- sternation among the democrats over the discovery that the state convention which met here Monday nominated a Cleveland democrat as a candidate for justice of the supreme court.
 The nominee, John A. Gordon, of Trinidad, took an active part in the Pueblo convention in 1899, and led the bolters from the convention after it repudiated Grover Cleveland on &C., count of his position on the money question.
 Many of the delegates voted for the nomination of Gordon in ignorance of his record, and now have no hesitancv in expressing disgust at their hasty action, which was taken in their anx- lety to prevent the indorsement of the populist nominee, W. H. Gabbert.

 ''The young woman is now confined in Casa Recohidas. She has never been tried, and 1 do not think that it wa. ever intended that she should be banished. The stories of her ill-treat- ment are very much exaggerated, and were it not for the hubbub which has been raised about her, the girl would probably have been released long ago. In fact
