YELLOW FEVER SITUATION.
At New Orleans.

New Orleans, Nov. 19.-There were
six new yellow fever cases today and
no deaths. This was another cold
morning, with trace of frost, and an
other frost probable in the morning, and
the germ is considered dead. the new
cases having contracted during the
recent warm spell and only developing
now. Lake Charles, one of the most
stubborn adherents of complete quaran-
tine, raised its embargo today. The
Florida board of health made sweeping
concessions, and air the barriers to bust
ness are falling fast.
The local trade committee, in view of
the refusal of towns buried in frost to
admit merchandise from New Orleans,
for fear of infection. today telegraphed
to Surgeon General Wyman for an of
fetal opinion on the subject and received
the following reply
washington, Nov. 19.-Belieee new
merchandise mot secondhand Ior made
over goods may be safely shipped from
New Orleans without danger of infection.

THE DREYFUs AGITATION.
Military Prison Governor and an
Army Omcer Get Into Disfavor.

Paris, Nov. 19.-Owing to their atti.
tude in supporting the agitation to re-
open the case of Capt. Alfred Dreyfus.
the minister of war, Gen. Billot, relieved
the governor of the military prison of
Cherche- Midi, Maj. Forcinetti. of his
post, and has condemned Maj. Rauffin
de Saint Morel to months rigorous ar
rest.
The Journal says Count Ferdinand
Walsin Eesterhasy, the retired major of
the French army, who is accused of be-
ing implicated in the leaking out of mil
itary secrets since Dreyfus was deport-
ed, and who is said to have been the au-
thor of the unsigned letter which led to
the trial and condemnation of Dreyfus,
has upon more than one occasion con-
fided to the paper mentioned informa-
ton contrary to military regulations,
adding:
Count Esterhasy must not, therefore,
be surprised at disciplinary measures
and possibly Imprisonment"
The Batrie remarks that the students
are organizing a demonstration against
the 'so-called Dreyfus syndicate" add
ing that meeting would be held at
which M. Scheurrer-K estner, one of the
vice presidents of the senate and the
champion of the prisoner, will speak.

Political Excitement at Montevideo
Has Assumed a Dangerous Form.
Montevideo, Nov. 19.-The city is in
a panic over the incident at today's ses-
sion of the chamber Of deputies and the
report that DR.. Miguel Herrera Y Obes,
minister of the interior and of justice
in the Borda cabinet, has been shot
with a revolver. In the chamber DR..
Herrera Obes made violent attack on
Senior Cuesta. who assumed the presi-
dency Of the republic ad interim of the
assassination of Senior J. fndiarte Borda,
who was shot by Arrendondo during the
International fete on August Is, last; On
September 20 Senior Cuesta issued a
declaration Of policy, promising to con-
duct an administration of strict econo-
my, to purge the public departments,
especially the department of customs,
and to pay the interest on the public
debt. At that time he expressed the
hope that the department Of customs
could at least save five million francs
monthly.
DR.. Herrera Obes today called on
him for more explicit statement as to
his program in the event Of his election
as president.
Senior Eduardo McEachen, minister of
the government, refused to reply, where
upon DR.. Herrera Obes presented
motion demanding the resignation of
the president of the republic ad interim.
1t is said that if this motion is adopted
by the deputies senior Cuesta's next ac-
ton will be to dissolve the chamber.
All sorts of rumors are afloat. Many citi-
zens have closed their houses, and the
troops are held in readiness against out
breaks.
The report of DR.. Herrara Y Obes
has been wounded with revolver is de-
MED, but dissolution of the chamber
of deputies appears inevitable.

small prospects of sales. Moreover. they
still have a part of the old crop in the
warehouses. These considerations have

A THRILLING ENCOUNTER.
THE CAB OF A LOCOMOTIVE GOING
THIRTY MILES AN HOUR THE
SCENE OF THE AFFAIR.
THE NEGRO FIREMAN WAS SHOT DEAD
by the White Engineer, hut NOV
Until the Latter Had Received
Numerous Knife Wounds.
Negro Was Drunk.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Nov. ia spe-
cial to the Times from Birmingham,
Ala, says:
On freight train, dashng southwark
over the Louisville and Nashville Rail
road at the rate of thirty miles an hour,
late last night, one Of the most thrilling
encounters ever recorded in fact or fiction
occurred, Two men, one black and erazed
by drink, the other white and conscious
of deadly peril, engaged in life and
death struggle in the cab of a flying loco
motive, which ended in the death of the
negro and the miraculous escape from
the same fate by the white man.
When train No. %, south bound, left
here last night at 1918 o'clock, Engi-
neer e. p. Bishop and Fireman Wiley
Craig colored- occupied the locomotive
cab. About twenty minutes later,
lying dead beside the track and the en-
gineer was bleeding from a dozen knife
wounds and was alone in his cab. Soon
after the trains departure and when two
miles from the city, Bishop tsld the FIRE
man to stir up the fire. The negro paid
no attention to the order and it was re-
peated. This time he utteged an oath
and Sprlnglng from his seat drew re-
volver and fired at the engineer. The
bullet missed the engineer, who struck
the revolver from the negro's hand just
as the latter was about to fire a second
shot. Craig, now crazed with rage, in
stantly drew an ugly knife and grasping;
the engineer by the shoulder pulled him
from the box and began to- cut him
across the breast.
Mr.. Bishop had pistol IN his hips
pocket, but he was held for time in
such position that he could not reach it,.
Finally, after desperate struggle, dur
ing which the two men rolled over and
over on the floor of the cab, Bishop man
aged to draw his pistol and fire. The
bullet struck the negro in the breast and
penetrated his heart. Without a groan
he fell back into the darkness to the
ground and Bishop was left alone in his
cab. The train at that time was near
Oxmoor. Here it was halted by the
wounded engineer, who told the crew of
his thrilling encounter. Bishop says
that his watch chain alone saNed him
from fatal blow at the hands of the
negro, who welded his knife with the
savagery of demon.
Bishop was given preliminary hear
ing before Justice Martin this afternoon
and was discharged.

HANNIS TAYLOR ON CUBA.
Says the President Should Act Inn
medintely and EmphaticaIIy.

medintely and EmphaticaIIy.
Ithaca, N. Y, Nov. 1870 large were
the crowds which went tonight to Cor
nell university that Barnes hall, where
it had been announced that an address
by Hannis Taylor, ex-minister to Spain,
on Cuba was to be delivered, was found
to be inadequate to hold them and the
meeting place had to be changed to
Library hall, where about 2O0O people
were accommodated with seats. The
audience was strictly in sympathy with
the speaker in every statement regarding
Cuba. Mr.. Taylor said, in part:
Events are moving fast and no man.
not even the president, can stop them.
No real statesman ever tried to avoid a
crisis by turning his back on it or by
self-deception. If the PRESIDENT makes
the fatal mistake of attempting
longer to muzzle congress by
putting his imprimatur on false homes
and empty illusions, before the ink is
dry on his message events will discredit
all his predictions.
Let congress but speak the final and
emphatic northumberland in nine
ty days the long and bloody tragedy will
be. over, the whole Christian world will
rejoice. and say amen; Spain will be res
cued from an embarrassing situation:
there will be no war with the United
States, and Cuba will be free"

A KEG OF DYNAMITE
Found In Coal Being Loaded Onto
the Monitor Amphftrite.

Norfolk. Va, Nov. 17.-It is stated
here on what is considered good author

blasting powder was found by the COAT
trimmers of the monitor Amphitrite
while that vessel was coaling at Lam
bert's Point, Monday The key, it
seems, was passed down into the bunk
ers and was there discovered by the
men who took it on deck and tested it.
Its presence in the coal is a mystery,
but the most plausible theory is that
1t was left in the cars at the mines and
brought here beneath the COAL
