he had established a detention camp at

MOBILE MUST AID
NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 1.-THE
board OF health tonight adopted resolu-
tions saying:
Since the board has been credibly in
formed that there have been cases of
fever in Mobile that should be investi-
gated, and since the Mobile board of
health has declined to acquiesce in our
request to ascertain further data of the
status at Mobile by sending a repre-
sentative there, and for sufficient rea-
sons this board declares from and after
this date rigid quarantine against the
city Of Mobile till further notice.
There has been considerable resent
ment here because Mobile was the first
city to quarantine against New Or
leans, refusing to receive newspapers
or letter mail.
The surgeon general sent orders today
to DR.. Wasdin at Ocean Springs to COM
mence an investigation of the yellow fe-
yer on San Ellis method. He is the en-
inent South American who seems to
have discovered the gem of yellow fever.
A full psychological outfit has been
shipped to DR.. Wasdin for the purpose

MANEuVERS A FAILURE
BUT THE EMPEROR CARRIED
HIS POINT
Newspapers Renew the Agitation in
Favor Of Tariff War With
the United States

Associated Press Special Wire.
BERLIN, Sept. 11.-This weeks ever
boiling pot of German politics contained
political developments for which the
army maneuvers are an excuse, al
though everything was done at Ham
burg. at King Humbert's request, to
safeguard French susceptibilities But
Emperor Williams reconsecration of
the drei kaiserbund was triumphantly
begun, and at the same time the king Of
IItaly's wishes were gratified. Queen
Margaret Of Italy was handsomely fiat
tered, the enthusiasm of the crowds was
complete and as delicatessen after the
great display Of military strength. the
emperor rallied his guests to Wiesbaden,
where they witnessed the first perform
ance Of "Salve," composed for the occa-
zion by the court dramatist, Joseph
Lauff, under the ubiquitous direction of
the monarch himself.
What was begun at Hamburg amid the
panoplies of war, the emperor will COM
plete in Hungary, where he arrives to-
morrow, and where added force can be
given to declarations by the presence
of more of the soldiers who would event.
ually have to carry them out.
The Hamburg maneuvers, however,
are unanimously declared to have been
a failure by the military spectators.
There were almost incessant rains and
a number of cloudbursts over the ma
neuver territory. The Prussians outdid
the Bavarians IN marching, but the Ba-
Ira a1,io 1o1 hai on fc,iv doe
ing attacks.
The army bicyclists, in spite Of the
bad weather and terrible roads, proved
beyond question their splendid avail
ability for campaign purposes.
Another reason for the admitted fail
ure of the army maneuvers was the
strong anti-Prussian feeling pervading
the whole Bavarian army, which found
expression on numerous occasions.
The unpopularity Of the emperor in
Bavaria was strikingly manifested at
Nuremburg. While passing through the
streets in company with the prince
regent of Bavaria he was insulted sew
eral times by persons in the crowd. One
person shouted: I'VE want no Prus-
slams in Bavaria"
The epidemic of accidents on the Ger
man railroads is prompting sharp criti-
cism Of the government control Of the
roads.
The conservative and agrarian news
papers have resumed their agitation in
favor of a tariff war with the United
States. The National Zeitung says the
German exporting industry is accept
ing the Dingley tariff with equanimity.
adding, especially as it seems that the
betterment Of the condition of the Amer

for German industry is to be able to
compete on even terms with EUROPEAN
countries, and there would be an end Of

article, reviews number of the en-
