The report was circulated here three
days ago that the Americans had vel
low fever, and there is fear that the
heroes have been infected and that
their death is almost certain from the
plague. The report came from Ha-
vana, and is probably to be relied
upon.
1t is feared that nothing has been
done by the Spanish officers to secure
the prisoners from the disease, and it is
thought possible that Blancos refusal
to negotiate for their exchange was
based on hope that their lives might
be ended in that way.
Santiago is infected with fever, and
the harbor entrance is especially dan
gerous, as it is surrounded by marshes
and fever infected soil.
The Spanish flag was flown at half
mast over MORO castle, Friday, which
would indicate either that some promi.
nent Spanish officer was dead Or that
the Merrimac heroes were dead. Many
officers Of the fleet believe that the lat.
ter is the truth,

The State Wins Out.

The case Of Writ Adams, State
revenue agent, VS.. Mississippi Valley
Railway Company, ct al, which has
just been decided in favor of the State
revenue agent, involves perhaps the
largest sum Of money ever in litigation
in any one suit in Mississippi, the
amount sued for being about three
quarters of million dollars of taxes
claimed for the State by the revenue
agent, running from 1886 to date. This
case has been argued three successive
times before the Supreme Court The
case under the present decision of the
court goes back for rehearing in the
Circuit Court, but is an unquestioned
victory for the revenue agent, who must
win in the end The railroad company
claimed an exemption from taxation
under charter Of the Mobile & North
western Railroad, and the decision of
the court is adverse to this claim.
