4 SLOT MACHINE RAID.
Thirteen NiclSle Wheels of Fortune
 COMfiscated Last Ninht

slot-machine raid was made last night about o'clock by Captain Brew- er Sergeants Dunn and Tighe and about twenty patrolmen on several sa- looms in the central part of the city. Thirteen slot machines were captured and they are now stored in Captain Brewers office at police headquarters awaiting the destruction which Is inev- table About ten days ago woman called upon Captain Brewer and stated to him that her husband, who earns SIS per week, had been paid off a couple of days before and on his way home had stopped at saloon where one of the nickel-in-the-slot machines was located and had played it until his entire weeks salary had been spent in that way. The man returned home with not cent in his pocket to a family consist ing of wife and four small children. The wife asked Captain Brewer if he could not do something to stop the slot machines.
 After this the captain detailed two men to keep on the lookout for the ma chimes, and the result was that last night eight men were arrested and thir- teen machines were confiscated under statute passed by the general assem- bly, in 1895. The o'clock squad, in charge of the two sergeants above men, tioned, were detailed last night to make the raids. Search warrants and per- sonal warrants were issued by the city attorney, and, armed with these, the policemen visited eight saloons, made eight arrests and confiscated thirteen machines. The arrests made were as follows: Arthur Hermann, 890 Chapel street; Louise Hermann, 61 Church street; John Nero, 719 Chapel street; Henry Buchter, 21 Union street; John Shanley, 321 State street; Jacob Stem- maier, 4042 Olive street; Theodore Martus, 103 Crown street, and George Stanford, 197 George street. Each one of these men was charged with keeping "a place resorted to by the public for gaming, and each was released under $200 bonds. It is said that these ma- chimes are veritable hints for the sa- loon keepers in whose saloons they are placed. The proprietor of the place re- ceives 65 per cent. of the receipts of the machine, and it is said that some of the machines take in $75 per day.

THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING CO.
AN INTERPRETING OPINION.
Rights of Strikers and of Men Seeking
 Employment, Defined.

Cleveland, Oct. 1S.-Judge Hammond granted the application of the Ameri- can Steel and Wire company for an in junction against the striking wire drawers to-day. The injunction is a blanket one, and applies to all the de- fendants named in the petition and to any others who may hereafter inter fere with the employees of the company. The court holds that those seeking en- ployment in the place of strikers have rights which labor unions and strikers are bound to respect, and that one of the rights of each citizen is that of un- obstructed access to the place where work is to be done and over the streets and highways and usual approaches to such place, and that this freedom of access is not at all inconsistent with the right of strikers to use the same streets and highways for the lawful conduct and maintenance of the strike by peaceable entreaty or argument with men intending to supplant them in em- ployment. The injunction granted re- strains the strikers from in any manner interfering with the operation of the compliments mills and from molesting or intimidating or threatening those de- siring to work at the mills, and from congregating and picketing the mill or the houses of the employees for the pur- pose of intimidation.

HATAN4'S FILTHY CONDITION. Col. Warning of American Sanitary Com-
 mission to Forward Report.

Havana, Oct. 18.-Colonel Waring of the United States sanitary commission will forward to Washington tomorrow an extensive report dwelling particu- larly upon the filthy condition of this city, which is the real cause of all the infectious diseases. Some days have elapsed since even the principal street has been swept and the rubbish and filth are accommodating rapidly. The To- cal officers take no steps to remedy the evil. The trouble seems to be that the work of sweeping the streets is let out by contract and the contractor claims the city now owes him $40000, which, he adds, prevents him from buying carts or mules and from paying wages to continue the service.

ttents' Mouths at Miami.
 Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 1S.-Colonel Louis M. Maus, chief surgeon of the Seventh army corps, was the first wit ness before the war investigating com mittee to-day. He said that in the his tory of the camp at Jacksonville there had been 2S4 deaths out of 31, 900 men, and that about 50 per cent. of the deaths had been from fever. He thought the fever was now decreasing. He mentioned one instance in which se- rious sickness had followed the use of tainted meat and said he had heard of a few other instances in which poor meat has been issued. Still, these cases were rare and no more frequent than should be expected. Dr. Connor ques- toned Dr. Maus about the acceptance of outside aid and quoted report from Colonel Culla, inspector general, saying that but for the action of the Red Cross society the sick would have been with out essential supplies for two months. That statement" said Dr. Maus, lis utterly false. The government would have supplied them if the Red Cross had not" Dr. Maus also denied the truth of statement made by the gov ernor of Iowa that there was only one nurse in charge of sixteen typhoid pa tients. He said, however that the nurses sent by the governor of Iowa had been accepted, not because the gov ernment was negligent, but because they could be utilized. He assented to a proposition by pr. Connor that the government should take exclusive care of it's sick and not depend upon outside contributions. He said also in reply to pr. Connor that the dissemination of

PARIS PEACE COMMISSION
ATTITUDE OF UNITED STATES RE-
 GARDING THE CUBAN DEBT.
A Dispatch from Paris Says That Spain Can No Longer Doubt This Attitude The American Commissioners Have Part of 1t, by Express Treaty on by Contract.

Paris, Oct. 1S.-11:15 p. m.-Spain can no longer have any doubt regarding the ultimate attitude of the United States toward the so-called Cuban debt. Tne American commissioners have declined to assume it or any part of it by eX- press treaty or by contract. They also declined to accept ceSsion of soYer- eighty to the United States, for, in that case, Spain would claim that such a cession by it's own force would impose the obligation for that debt. It is con- dently believed that in refusing to ac- cept a cession of/sovereignty the Amer ican commissioners are acting also upon the announcement of the United States to the world in the intervention resolutions, disclaiming any intention to exercise sovereignty or authority over Cuba, except for pacitication, and then to leave the island to the control of it's people and it's people to the as sumption of it's obligations. This posi- tion of the commissioners couples itself with the declaration in the resolution that the people of Cuba are of right and ought to be free and independent; and good faith requires the perform ance of this declaration, 1t being plain that if Cuba was annexed to the Unit ed States while she might be free she would not be independent.

of an Escapade.
 San Francisco, Oct. 1S.--The steamer Doric from the Orient via Honolulu brings the following advices to The Associated Press from Honolulu under date of October H. It looks now as though Lieutenant Wheelock and Lieu tenant Merriam may escape any pun ishment for their escapade of the 3d instant when they proclaimed martial law without authority. General King investigated the case of Lieutenant Wheelock and suspended that officer The findings will be sent to Washing ton for further action. Lieutenant Wheelock is blamed by General King for the reason that he was provost marshal Lieutenant Merriam was off duty. It is held that Wheelock should have arrested Merriam for disorderly conduct, if such was shown. In place of that Wheelock loaned himself and the men under him to the riot started by Merriam. General King deeply re- srets the affair. All of yesterday was spent in making investigations Cap- tain SaXton, General Kings adjutant, announced that there would be no court marshal for the reason that no definite complaints against the officer had been preferred and it was deemed that the action taken in the forenoon covered the breach of military discipline on the part of Wheelock First Lieutenant Mather of the New York regiment was yesterday morning appointed provost marshal to succeed Wheelock.
