, Quarantine WIN Be Enforced

Austin, Tex, october 0-Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the yellow fever experts
of New Orleans have declared that there is
no yellow fever there but yellowoid, the
state health department here tonight de-
clared that the quarantine would be more
rigidly enforced against New Orleans and
Louisiana than ever. The board say that
they do not propose to be hoodwinked by
New Orleans and that they will quarantine
against yellowoid as quickly as they Will
against yellow fever, and it matters not
what name New Orleans sees fit to call the
disease, that the quarantine is on until
cold weather, whether or 1ot

Pardee Purchases a Home

Atlanta, October 10-The Constitution
will say tomorrow: Negotiations are now
in progress between Judge Don A. Pardee,
of the circuit court of appeals at New Or
leans and M. C. Carraway, of this city. for
the latter's residence on Ponce de Leon
avenue near Peachtree. 1t is understood
that while arrangements for the purchase
have been made and the price agreed upon
the deeds have not as yet been signed. 1t
is not probable that Judge Pardee will
make Atlanta his home residence city. The
circuit court of appeals in New Orleans oc-
cupies the greater portion of his time, es-
pecially in the winter season and for this
reason 1t is probable that he will be in At
lanta only during the summer months.

complaint of lack of rations at the front
At first they were able to forward about
10000 rations per day From Siboney the
depot was moved to Ell Paso, seven miles
inland At this point there were never
enough rations on hand for even day
ahead, and 1t was impossible to fill all the
acquisitions. There was a shortage in
coffee and sugar which continued for two
or three days because of the high surf at
Siboney. All the rations were good, but in
some cases the hard bread would be In
jured by sudden showers. Whec t:is nap
pened the bread was thrown aside and not
issued.
shortage of Lighters
Mr.. Gallagher said there was shortage
of lighters, but he was not able to say why
this was true.
Colonel DENLY pressed for Information as
to shortage of coffee and sugar, and Major
Gallagher stated that there were probably
two days when the men were without these
articles. A storm was the immediate cause
of this deficiency, but if there had been a
suficency of lighters the deficiency would
not have occurred.
The major said there was not to his
knowledge a shortage in any other article
him there was complaint of a deficiency
covering a months time, but Major Gala
CHER said he knew nothing of it,
Major Gallagher said that of the five
civilian assistants he had two who were
inefficient and Indifferent to their duties
Major Gallagher said the commissary sup
ply at Montauk was abundant and good
while he was at that point.
ID
from Mrs Hugo Lane of Brooklyn, who
participated in the relief work at Montauk
Point, relating to her interview with Presi-
dent Mckinley when he visited Camp WIKI
off. She was reported to have said to the
president that some of the men "were car
ried out in a dying condition in order to
get rid of them" This, she says, she did
not say, but she asked if in passing
through the wards, the president did not
notice the number of empty cots. He re-
piled that he had noticed them, and she
then requested him to ask why the men
were without care in the detention, and In
some of the regimental hospitals. The let
ter continues:
"I will ask you to go back of the condi-
tions of the time General Wheeler arrived
and investigate why no preparation was
made to receive and care for our sick and
suffering soldiers. 1 never saw more de-
voted or self-sacrifcing work under the
most trying conditions, or with greater pa
tience and perseverance than was always
exhibited by the executive officers of Camp
Wikoff. The sanitary condition at the gen.
eral hospital was appalling, until general
police work was taken up by Lieutenant
Durfee."

Subject Has Not Been Discussed
Commissioners.
THE NEWSPAPERS OF PARIS
Order to Be in Position to Ad-
ture America to Be Gen.
erous to Spain.

Paris, October 1O-The United States
peace commission held two sessions today.
They were devoted to acquiring and weigh
ing the information relative to all the ques-
tions involved in the matters under the i'm
mediate consideration Of the commission
ers.
AS the joint commissions have not yet
considered the Philippine question, the
Paris papers appear to Americans as maxi
ing the statements that the Philippines are
under consideration in order to be in posi-
tion to adjure the American commission to
treat Spain generously.
The Gaulois this morning reviews the po-
litical situation and draws the conclusion
that between the alleged republican pur-
pose of expansion and democratic opposi-
ton thereto, President Mckinley and the
American commissioners will be inspired
after all with the sentiments of generosity
which the honor of victorious nations de-
mand."
The keynote Of these expressions seems to
have been sounded by Spanish diplomat
to an American here last week, the diploo-
mat saying that the United States should
be generous to Spain.
A despatch from Madrid says the cost of
the Cuban and Philippine campaigns Will
exceed 100000 pesetas.
M. Jules Cambon, the former French am
bassador at Washington, arrived in Paris
today. He will remain here for two
months.

PARADE SCHEDULED FOR TODAY
Will be an Event That Has Never Been

Knight Templarism in
America.
PARADE SCHEDULED FOR TODAY

Pittsburg, October 10.-Within the brill
liancy of incandescence emanating from
nearly half million electric lights the
conclave of the knights Templar has now
fairly started, and close upon $4,000 pill
grims are reveling in each others hospi-
tality. Except for a few stragglers, every
commandery, except few which were ex-
pected to be represented, has now dele
cation on the ground. The day was chiefly
spent by the different Communicates in ar
ranging their headquarters and getting
ready to receive their guests and visitors.
In this respect the various delegations We'd
with each other in the matter of putting
up the most inviting refreshments, rang
ing from the glass of ice water up to
Kentucky Bourbon. California wines and
even champagne Souveniors of all shapes
and sizes are in abundance, and most of the
Knights are bedecked with decorations not
unlike a major-genera1.
1t is remarkable thing that although
the number of visitors and guests is larger
than the city has ever before had to en-
tertain there has not yet been a complaint
for lack of accommodation. This, indeed,
speaks volumes for the committee work.
Louisville In the Lead
Although the business meetings nave not
yet commenced, electioneering for the hon.
or of holding the next concave Is in actual
progress.
The foremost event of today's program
undoubtedly has been the reception and
ball of Tancred Commandery No. 4S of this
city at their headquarters In the court
room, which commenced at 2 o'clock this
afternoon, and it is expected the dancing
and entertaining, with unabated mus cal
accompaniment is to continue until IL
o'clock tonight. The sights on the streets
have never been equaled in. this city as
far as the crowds are concerned. Street
car traffic is at a standstill and vehicles
of all descriptions are banished from down.
town thoroughfares, while every inch of
ground is monopolized by tens of thousands
of pedestrians, who move along like an
immense wave of humanity.
Should the weather continue to show it's
pleasant countenance upon the Smoky City
tomorrow, the grand parade will be an
event that has never been surpassed In the
history of Knight Templarism in America.

tins of 1t.
