YELLOW FEVER IN HAVANA.
Something Should Be Done to Stamp
1t Out.

New York. Nov. "a dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says: Dr.
Drummer has written a strong letter to
Surgeon General Wyman of the United
States marine service. urging the i'm
p%Ortance of the immediate presence in
Havana of competent yellow fever
physicians and nurses. DR.. Drummer, in
~unmeasured terms, condemns the poll
cy of giving incompetent Cuban physi-
clans charge of those Americans con-
nected with the quartermaster's and
commissary departments who fall i'll.
Steward. quartermaster's clerk. who
has yellow fever. is very low. His re-
covery is almost impossible. Should
he die and investigation is probable.
and if it is had it may show that his
life was the forfeit of the neglect of
those who should have looked out for
him. Then, too. his removal at a criti-
cal stage of the disease from the Ho-
tel Pasaje to Quinta del Rey hospital
appears to have been r~eprehensible.
Steward had been neglected by all
others connected with the quartermast-
er's department until some newspaper
correspondents became disguised and
provided a purse for the purpose of
giving the poor fellow the needed nurse
and medicine. This came to the ears
of General Wade, who instructed DR..
Lame to have Steward removed from
the Pasaje. This was done against the
protests from the patient. He vas
taken to a dirty, poorly equipped place,
where the nurses speak only Spanish.

Lame, who is a Cuban physician though

Notwithstanding that four cases OF yell
low fever have recently occurred in the
hotel, yesterday requested DIR. Drummer
to sign with him a paper stating that
the hotel is not infected.
DR.. Drummer Indignantly refused, and
upon the facts heretofore given, based
his letter of protest to Surgeon General
Wyman.
Representatives of American firms

resolution that the mayor and acting

WATER. NOT POLITICS.
This Is the Question Which Agitates
Santiago.

Santiago. Nov. 9.-The main ques-
ton now before General Leonard
Wood, governor of the military district
of Santiago, is not political. 1t is the
question of water. which is a serious
problem. The rainy season is about
over. and usually after a month or so
Of dry weather, water has to be brought
from the mountains and sold in the
streets. General Wood is anxious to
prevent a repetition of such condition
and has engaged the services of three
expert engineers to report as to the best
method of supplying the city with
water, whether with artesian wells or
other means.
Matamore. a colonel in the i~nsurgent
army and normally a bandit, firing of
the ways of humdrum peace, recently
took to the hills with twenty men and
is now carrying on his old vocation,
rObbing plantations and farms of cattle
and horses and setting in every way a
bad example. General Wood is de-
termined to suppress Matamore and a
part of the gendarmerie is now ready
uniformed and drilled. well mounted
and armed to do the work. Today
twenty men under command of a lieu
Matamore and his companions are
stayin, with orders to bring them all
in, dead or alive.
The general opinion here is that if
Matamore is not suppressed he will
SOC have 100 Or 200 recruits. but now
that the purpose Of the authorities is
known it is not expected that mary
will join him.
The Americans here are greatly an
noyed and the S%paniards deeply griev-
ed at the failure thus far of the special
Spanish commission. headed by Gen
eral Don Luis Valdermma. to recover
the remains Of General Vera del Ray,
The Cubans have apparently leveled the
ground where the body was buried for
the express purpose of preventing its
recovery. Another effort will be made
tomorrow.
The "Reina de Les Angeles left this
evening for Gibara. In addition to the
staff of physicians and nurses she car
ried two contract surgeons. one Of
whom served formerly on the staff Of
General Garcia.

IN OTHER STATES
MAJORTTIES FOR ALL REPUBLI-
CAN CANDIDATES CONTINUE
TO INCREASE.
Leroy Grant Now Has 4S3 and Will
Carry the County by Over 500
Yund, For Sheriff, Still Gaining
Mrs. Simpson Increases Her Lead
by Sixteen Votes.

New York, Nov. 9.-The latest figures
o~btainable show that Roosevelt's plu-
rality in the state is not far from 90
eco. Only ten cou?ties in the state
gave Van Wyck pIuralities, and they
were all localities swayed by cities, as
New York, Kings, Queens and Erie.
The falling off Of Roosevelt's plurality,
as compared with Blacks in 1896, is due
to the decrease in the republican vote
up the state OF 81 900 and in Greater
New York of g., 900. Against this Van
Wyck gained 10000 above the Harlem
and Sc 5000 below it, as compared with
Porter two years ago.. The result on
ngr in this state seems to have
surprised gel the democrats them
selves. Nineteen Of their candidates
were elected. the republicans getting
but fifteen. In the present house the
New York delegation stands q re-
publicans to 6 democrats. In Greater
New York all the democratic candi-
dates were elected.
After the ~gubernational contest, as
much interest was taken in the state
legislature as in anything else. The
state senate will be republican by four
and the assembly by twenty.
Political interest from now on will
center upon the senatorship. and al
ready discussions as to the probable
a~spirants have begun. So far there is
no announced candidate and the re-
publican organization has not declared
itself.

LATEST FROM NEBRASKA.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 9.-Reiurns by
counties tonight, which come provok-
lngly slow. indicate i scaling off of the
republican gains of last night and to-
night, making the state ticket in doubt,
and so close an official count may be
required.
The Legislature is probably republic
can on joint ballot but Senator Allen
will not concede it. Neither state COM
mittee made such extravagent claims
as last night. Secretary Thompson,
Of the fusion committee conceded the
election of a republican congressman
in the First and Second districts, but
claimed the other four, admitting the
Fourth and Fifth close. Chairman
Schneider, Of the republican commit
tee said he could see no reason to ma
t~erially change the previous estimate of
5000 to 5000 for the state ticket. The
legislature, he said, was republican
sure.

TESLA THE
Describes New Application of Elec-
tricity.

New York. Nov. 9.-Nicola Tesla.

view, describes an application of cleo
tricity whereby. without the interposi-
one man can control and direct with
absolute eXactitude. the movements OF
any type of vessel, balloon or land We
hicle at any distance that may be de
sired. From a station on shore or from
the deck Of a vessel under way, a o
pedo BOAT equipped with Mr.. Tesla's
controlling device may be propelled
either on or below the surface. maneuv-
cred at will in any direction and ex-
ploded against the side of a hostile YES
sci at any point within the range of the
vision of the operator.
Mere than this. assuming ina, It
were possible to accurately locate the
position Of the vessel which it is de-
sired to destroy. the torpedo boat could
be directed to it, even if the ship lay in
the harbor of Southampton and the
operator was stationed 1t Sandy Hook.
Mr.. Tesla said that some months had
Elapsed since he had fully developed
MS device, for which he has applied
Tor a patent. When it was learned
that Admiral Cervera was bottled up
at Santiago it IA his intention to ap-
ply his mechanism to several launches
and similar small craft loaded with
high explosives and annihilate the fleet
at anchor. Admiral Cervera, however,
came out and met his fate under the
guns of the American fleet before the
necessary arrangements could be made.
Then Mr.. Tesla planned a raid on the
Spanish vessels in Havana harbor, only

REPUBLICAN INCREASE.
New York Journals Estimate on Con-
g%ressional Situation.

New York, Nov. 9.-The Journal this
morning states that further returns
from Tuesdays election show republic
can increases were more widespread
than was indicated by early figures.
For a time it was believed that the
democrats would control the house of
representatives. This hope has been
despeled. The house will remain in
the hands of the republicans, but the
republican strength will be greatly
lessened. The United States senate
will remain in republican control. The
lower house will stand as follows:
Democrats 166. republicans 1873. fusion
lists 6, populists 3, silver party 2. total

WASHINGTON.

Seattle, Nov. 9.-Returns from the
state of Washington are yet incom-
plete. but enough are at hand to make
it certain that the republicans have
overcome the fusion majority of IL, 900,
two years ago, elected both congress
men and two supreme our justices by
a majority of at least 5000. Later re-
turns will, it is thought, increase rather
than diminish this estimate. The leg
islature. which will elect a United
States senator, will be Republican on
joint ballot by at least 40, out OF a
membership of 112.
This estimate gives the fusionists all
the doubtful districts. They retain
control of the senate. The legislature
now stands: Senate. republicans Is,
fusion 10. House: republicans 81, fu-
sion II.
The two amendments t o the state
constitution, woman suffrage and To-
cal option in municipal taxation, are
overwhelmingly defeated. The repub-
licans attribute their victory largely
to the latter amendment, which they
made a direct issue. claiming thai it
was single tax"
They also assign credit to the senti-
ment in favor ofsustaining the national
administration. The fusionists ascribe
their defeat to the light vote, which
was from $4,000 to 10000 less than two
years ago, and to the apprehension
that single tax was the issue.

MINNESOTA SITUATION.
A Republican Defeats Towne, Silver
National Chairman, for Congress.

St. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 9.-John Lind.
silver republican with democratic and
popunlist endorsement. will have not
less than 10000 plurality in the state
over Eustis, republican, but Lind is
the only fusion candidate to win. The
balance OF the republican ticket will
be chosen by majorities even greater
than that for Lind. All seven republ-
lean congressman have been elected.
Morris, in the close Sixth district, has
defeated Charles A. Towne by a small
margin. The legislature will be re-
publican but not by so great a majority
as at n time thought. There seems
no question of the reelection of Sen
ator Davis by this Legislature.
