CAUSE OF YELLOW FEVER.
DIR. Edwin kIebs Says the Germ Is Not
a. BaciIli, but a AmOeba.

CHICAGO, March 5.-,The Times-Herald
will say tomorrow:
Dr. Edwin Klebs, professor of pathology
and bacteriology in the Post-gradute Medi-
cal School, has discovered the cause of yell
low fever. AS a result Of a series Of ex-
periments, extending over two months, he
has isolated the amoeba, which is without
doubt responsible for the disease, and he
has been able to trace its development
through a number of stages in the various
organs of the body. Prof. Klebs made his
experiments on the stomach, duodenum and
liver of two patients who had died of the
fever III Mobile. The material was sent him
by DIR. Herman Mohr, OF that city. The
professor first sought for the bacilli known
as Sanarellis and Sternberg's, but found
no trace of them at all. He then went to
work on his own account. and by the aid
of special die composed of fuchsin.
methylene blue and methyl green, he sue
ceeded in isolating the desired germs. The
germ is not bacillus, but an amoeba. 1t
causes Inflammation of the stomach when
swallowed, and then in the duodenum it as
sumes a true sporuating form, appearing
here much like blackberry. From there
it migrates to the liver, where it appears
as a large structureless body about twice
the size Of the red blood corpuscle. Its
effect is rapid disintegration of the liver
cells. While Prof. Klebs is confident he has
obtained the yellow fever germ he will not
make any scientific claim in this direction
until he has been able to obtain live germs
and make cultures and animal experiment
with them.

WRECK NEAR VICTORIA.
Steamer Supposed to Have Been Lost
While Returning from Alaska.

SEATTLE, WASH, March 5-A passenger
who arrived here to-day from Alaska on the
steamer City of Seattle has informed Agent
Grammar, of the steamer Bessie K, that a
wreck passed by the City of Seattle, north
OF Victoria, which was reported here last
night, had all the appearances Of being the
Bessie r., several days overdue. The wreck
lies 100 miles north of Victoria on the rocks,
and there are no indications of any survi-
Vors.
The Bessie X. is owned by j. S. Kimball
& Co., of San Francisco, and left that port
for Alaska with heavy load of freight and
passengers. She has a capacity of 100 pas
sengers and $50 tons of freight, and was
stipulated to leave here for Dyea on March
z. She is supposed to have been wrecked
on her voyage south, having been in the
track of the late disastrous storm that
swept the northern coast. Owing to the
fact that the Bessie K. was coming south,
it cannot be learned at present how many
passengers she was carrying.
TACOMA, Wash, March 5.-President

The Spectator believes that both Wash

CONVICT KILLS HIS WIFE.
Shocking Crime of "a German in Sing
Sing Penitenfiary.

NEW YORK, March 5.--Adrian Braun,
convict in Sing Sing prison, murdered his
wife, who was paying him a visit at the
prison this afternoon. Braun is German,
thirty-five years old. and a cigar maker.
He was sentenced on Aug. 81 of last year
TO serve a two-year sentence for assault in
the second degree, and was received at Sing
Sing on Sept. !. He was convited of hav-
ing beaten hic wife, but notwithstanding
this Mrs. Braun forgave her husband and
expressed sorrow because of his imprison-
mert. She has been living in New York
city with three of her children, her two
other children having been placed in an
asylum.
Mrs. Braun decided to visit her husband
this afternoon, and arrived at the prison at
800. She went to State Detective Jacksons
office and inquired for her husband. He
had been serving In the mess room, acting
as a potato peeler. When the two met
they kissed each other and were very
friendly. They sat for half an hour con-
yersing only q few feet away from the
desk OF Detective Jaskson, who was pres
ent. Finally Detective Jackson informed
Brain that his time was up, but Braun
pleaded for a little time longer, saying:
Cant we have a few minutes more?'' Be
cause OF the trouble MIS-. Braun naQ taken
to pay her husband a visit the plea was
granted. Suddenly Braun raised his arm
and the detective saw the glitter of long,
thin knife. Braun brought it down with
fearful force against the left side of his
wife's neck. One cut severed the great
blood vessels, and almost instantly the
woman was dead.
Detective jackson sprang upon Braun,
but the convict had time to cash the wom-
ans head several times more. Two other
convicts who were in the corridor came to
the detectives assistance, and the murderer
was subdued. Warden Sage had him re-
moved to the death house, but not, how
ever before another knife, similar to the
one he had stabbed his wife WITH was
found concealed in his pocket Warden
Sage questioned Braun as to why he killed
his wife, but the man refused to say any
thing. Later he seemed to be sorry for
what he had done.
Warden Sage is of the opinion that sud-
den fury overcame Braun, and that he de-
cided to kill his wife because she was re-
sponsible for his imprisonment. The au-
thorities believe he intended to commit
murder first and then suicide, basing their
theory upon the concealment of the two
knives on he person of Braun.

Threatens to Hold Up" War Ships BE-
cause of yellow Fever.

WASHINGTON, March 5.--There is prom
ise of a new and unwelcome DEVELOPMENT of
the Maine affair that in the end may lead
up to an issue between the government of
the United States and the State of Florida
if the officials OF the State indorse the
stand taken by the local officials at Key
West. The latter have notified Admiral ST.
card that on the first of next month they
propose to enforce the State quarantine law
against all craft arriving from Cuba as
measure of prevention against the introduc-
tion of yellow fever. The notice indicates
that the law will be applied to the naval
vessels, and in view of the serious Interrupt
tions such interference with the free move
ments of his ships would cause, Admiral ST.
card has reported the facts 10 the Navy De-
partment and awaits instructions. The de-
partment officials cannot tolerate with
equanimity the stoppage OF such craft as
the Mangrove and the Fern on their er-
rands of mercy, nor delays that may result
in the prosecution of the work of the wreck
ers engaged on the Names hull and in the
work OF the court of inquiry. The Presi-
dent himself probably will communicate
with the Governor of Florida with a view
to securing an abatement of the law so far
as It is proposed to apply it to naval ves-
sells, this being the speediest manner OF

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March 5.-Secre-
tary Matthews, of the State Board of
Health, says that if any conflict shall arise
between Florida ard the federal authorities
over the enforcement of quarantine on
April l it will be due to the federal author
tiles and not to those of this State. The
Florida state law provides for the enforce
ment of quarantine on May ], but as a
matter of exigency the State Board OF
Health is empowered to pass rules that
shall have the force cf statute law. At the
last meeting, which was held in January,
on the advice of Secretary OF the Treasury
Gage acting on the suggestion of Surgeon
General Wyman, the State Board of Health
passed the April / rule, and has since in
structed it's agents at various Florida ports
to enforce it.
Surgeon General Wyman made the sug-
gestion, under the opinion that danger from
infection by yellow fever should be guarded
against earlier this year than last. The
Governor of Florida has no juris diction
over the State Board of Health further
than to call it together. This may be done
if the circumstances warrant, and probably
will be done If the President 50 requests,
for the State aud its officials have always
displayed liberal acquiescence in federal
requests. especially in matter of extraor-
dinary exigency.
Governor Bloxham, who was seen at st.
Augustine tonight, said that he had heard
nothing from Presid Mt Mckinley or other
Washington officials relative to abrogating
restrictions of state quarantine law, so far
as it applies to naval vessels. He said
that should he receive such a request he
would at once confer with the state health
authorities. He declined to anticipate what
such action would be, but there is no pos
sibility of conflict between the United
States and Florida officials

RESUMED At HAVANA.
Court of Inquiry i'm Session Again at
scene of Wreck.


Scene of Wreck.
HAVANA, via Key West March 5.-The
United States naval court, which is inves-
tigating the sinking of the battle ship
Maine in this harbor on the night of Feb. Is,
arrived here this morning from Key West
on the lighthouse tender Mangroye, and be-
gan probably its last session at the scene
of the wreck. Ensign Powellson, who is
in charge of the divers, was examined by
the court at length, and he is supposed to
have given valuable testimony, for it is be-
lieved the divers have pursued their inqui-
ries far enough to determine whether the
explosion was due to external or Internal
agencies. Mr.. Powellson was reported by
New York correspondents some time ago
as declaring that the explosion was not 'ac-
cidental" but 1t is not known definitely
whether he made such a statement. How
ever, he was as close as an oyster to-day
after his examination, and would not even
indicate the line of questioning pursued by
the court He was the only witness ex-
amined to-day Captain Sampson, the presi-
dent of the court, said he was very sorry
but it was impossible to tell the correspond
ent any part of the testimony or the con-
clusions reached here. Further, the captain
said he had no idea how long the court
would remain here, adding that no orders
had been received from the court to go to
Washington at the close of it's sessions
here.
Three bodies were recovered to-day from
the wreck of the Maine. One of them was
identified as that of Robert White, mess
attendant, and another is supposed to be
that of a man named Stewart. With the re-.
mains was found fine handkerchief hav-
ing on 1t the letter "R. The third body is
supposed to be that of an oier, as his
clothing was saturated with oil.

hours to-day. They make daily reports 10

dealing with the case, although it may be
stated that the national government never
has recognized the right of any local au-
thoritfes to stop its vessels in case their
movement were deemed necessary. The
war ships have voluntarily submitted to
quarantine when returning from any port
suspected of Infection, but this is asserted
to be merely a concession and not the rec
ognition of any lawful right on the part IF
state authorities. In view of the fact that
the officers on our war ships, with the aid
of capable surgeons on each ship make it
their pride to keep their craft in the most
healthful condition, naval officers feel that
they may be safely left to run their ships
between Havana and Key West without
restriction. AS an evidence OF the care eX-
ercised to avoid carrying contagion, the
officials point to the fact that, without sug-
gestion from any of the health authorities
of Florida, Admiral Sicard caused the
wounded survivors of the Maine disaster to
be detained for several days at Tortugas
before allowing them 10 90 to Key West
1t is asserted positively at the State De-
partment that there has been no change

declaration from the State Department in

gramme and the ships named will sail for
Matanzas and Sagua la Grande as soon as

York. Reports that have come to the

The Tug Underwater.

NORFOLK, Va, March 5.-Nothing has
been heard here of the tug Underwater,
which left this port Thursday for Havana
towing the derrick Chief The sole reason
for fear on her account is that she must
certainly have encountered the terrible
Thursday night and Friday morning gale
off Hatteras. However, the fact that no
sign of her or her tow has been seen by
any life-saving crew between Cape Henry
and Hatteras is taken as a. sign that the
tug outrode the gale. The impression at
the Merritt Wrecking Companys Office
here is that she has, of course, had a rough
trip, but will show up at either Havana
or Key West safe enough. She has not had
time under normal conditions. to make
