| WASHINGTON, Nov. l9.-The navy de-

reports, one from Captain Coughlin OF the
Raleigh and the other from Captain Wildes

were dispatched by Admiral Dewey to
make an inspection OF the islands, and the
result is set out in their reports. Captain
Coughlin of the Raleigh says that he start

of Luzon for the protection of American
commerce. Some points OF his report

At all places south of Lingyen gulf we
found both officers and natives most col

that the United States should maintain a
protectorate over the island of Luzon and
that trade relations should be re-established.

YELLOW FEVER
A Fatal Case at the National Capital
Yesterday

WASHINGTON, Nov. ia. E. Miller,
a civil engineer, aged 80 years, single, died in
a hotel in this city yesterday afternoon from
what the physicians have pronounced to be
yellow fever. He had been in Washington
two days, having come from New York
city, where he arrived Monday from Mica
ragua. He left there about three weeks ago
on steamer bound for New York, but
which stopped at Port Limon, Costa Rica,
an infected port.
Miller was employed by the Nicaraguan
canal commission, and came here by order of
the state department. There is no occasion
for alarm, as the cool weather and the pre-
cautions taken render the likelihood of a
spread of the disease very remote.

DRINKING MEN ORGANIZE.
Minnesota Has an Association That Is
 Unique.

Wabasha, Minn., Jan. 16.-A new organization, and the only one of the kind in existence, commenced business in this city January l. It is named ''The Tontine Temperance Associa- tion,' and whilst Incidentally it may be benefit to the temperance cause, it is not organized with that end in view, but is intended to benefit it's organizers. The plan of operation is, in brief, as follows:
 On January 1 all persons who had decided to join the organization paid $5 each into it's treasury. On April 1 such of those who have entirely ab- stained from the use of intoxicating liquors during the interval will pay another $5, but those who have not so abstained will be dropped from the membership rolls. On July 1 those who have continued to abstain will pay in another $5 each, whilst all who have fallen will be dropped. On Oc- tober 1 the faithful will pay in $5 more each, and on January 1 the entire fund 1n the treasury will be divided equally among the men who have steadf2stly refused to imbibe.
 Every man is not eligible to mem bership. There must exist, at least, a probability that he may turn to the cup before the year Is over. Men who have always been total abstainers are not wanted. Without doubt they would persevere unto the end and there would be no money in that for the organizers. The course of the new association will be watched with m terest.

A LOST GIRL FOUND.
An Exciting Hunt for Missing Texas
 Young Woman.

Waxahachie, Tex, Jan. 16.-No sensation has ever occurred here pre- ducing such worry and searching as the announcement of the absence of Miss Jemmie Davis last night. Miss Davis is 13 years old. Her father is very wealthy. At 6 o'clock she was missing and fire alarm was turned in and thousands of armed men met at the fire station and organized in searching parties. Every gun, horse and lantern in the town was pressed into service. Men waded in the creeks, others searched the thickets and box cars, but no traces of the girl could be found. It was expected that her mutilated body would be found and to find it hundreds of men sat in the saddle all night, every phone wire was used and every town in radius of fifty miles was notified. Still there was no trace. A house to house search was made last night. At s o'clock this morning an alarm of ire was turned in and searching parties were organized. It turned out that at g o'clock in a momentarily mentally unbalanced condition, she straved

Despite Fears of Another Anti
 Autonomous Outbreak
AT HAVANA
Precautions Taken by General
 BlancO Were Needless
1t Is Hoped by the Spanish Authori- ties that the Opposition to Au- tcmony was Wasted in the Furry of Last Weeks Riots.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Grave appre- of the state department and those of the Spanish legation that disturbances of a more or less serious character might occur in Havana today, owing to the fact that many persons otherwise occupied during the week would be comparatively free On this day to fol- low their own inclinafions. Advfces received by Minister de Lome early today, followed by others at later hour, indicate, however, that Havana was perfectly tranquil.
 This afternoon the minister re- ceived a dispatch conveying the fact that at Il o'clock this morning there had not only been no rising, but that ances of any kind. As a precautionary measure General Blanco had carefully provided against any trouble, but so far as surface indications went, the precautions he had taken were en tirely unnecessary. The advices were that the better judgment of the people was uppermost. Good feeling pre- vailed generally throughout the city and no disturbances were anticipated
 Up to o'clock this afternoon the state department officials had received no word from Havana and they ac- cepted this as an indication that no trouble had occurred or was antici- pated. They regard the rioting of last week as merely furry which speny it's force in the few hours it lasted.

PHOENIX LEADS.
Tucson Following Along on a Hot
 Trail

A committee of the city council of Tucson sent to Phoenix for the pur- pose of inspecting the street paving system here returned home last night. The committeeman are said to be pleased with the method in vogue in Phoenix of running a ditch along the center of the street, and will recom- mend it's immediate adoption in Tue son. The trouble with the Tucson streets is that they are made slightly higher in the center than on either side, so that the rain falling upon them is absolutely wasted. It runs into the gutters and is carried off before it has time to soak into the streets, as nature obviously intended it to do. In consequence the streets of Tucson are always dry and hard to the detriment of horses hoofs and the tires of wagons and buggies. The committee figures that by adopting the irrigating-paving system like that in use on Washington street here, enough can be saved in horse-shoeing and blacksmithing bills to pay the cost of making the change. Phoenix leads, other towns follow.

As it is thought at the a1f. mory that the present force of enh- ployes can turn out 40 gums the,- -fn- crease is to mean higher wages for many of the men who are paid by thr piece.

WILL BURT HANG?
The Sheriff Has Prepared the Gallows
 and Selected the Rope.

Austin, Tex, Jan. 16.-There is much speculation as to what the governor will do in the case of Eugene Burt, sentenced to be hanged in this city Friday for the murder of his wife and two children, but it seems to be the almost universal opinion here that the law will be permitted to take it's course. In case the governor does refuse to interfere, it is believed the attorneys of Burt have plan to stay execution and will spring it at the last moment. That it will be seen that there is a possibility of this bs- coming another Durrant affair. In the meantime Sheriff White is get- ting everything ready for the execu- ton and today inspected the gallows, which is inside the jail, and tight ened up the bolts which hold it to- gether. He has also selected the rope, a three-fourths inch manilla, and will carry into execution the laws sentence Friday, January 21, unless something UT foreseen interferes or the governor grants a communication.

THE LOST TRIBE.
Feeding Indians Who Have Never Be-
 fore Been Enrolled.

Ashland, Wis, Jan. 16.-Captain Scott of the La Pointe Indian agency, has gone to Brandon, Wis, where he will distribute $2,0O0 worth of rations, consisting of pork, flour and clothing. to the so-called lost tribe of Chippewa Indians. This band of Indians was discovered by Captain Scott last sum. mer, and really belongs to no tribe, and these are the first rations that have ever been distributed to them.
 The Indians all over the country are in more destitute circumstances this winter than last, as the game law is more strict, the rice beds failed, and the cutting of timber, which was for. merly depended upon to support them is more restricted. About six weeks ago about $1 800 worth of rations were distributed to the Indians at Tower Minn., and about the same amour. is being distributed this week.
