RAPID SPREAD OF
 THE YELLOW FEVER

JACKSON. Miss. Oct 8.-In Jackson the area of infection Is increasing. There is now one case within 100 yards of the State Capitol. The State Board of Health to-day issued an appeal for aid from the general Government, the Governor telephoning his approval from Brandon, where he is transacting public business.
 ST. LOUIS, Oct. S.-The faculty and students of the Mississippi Agricul- tural and Mechanical College, located at StarkvilIe. have arrived in St. Louis. They are yellow fever refugees, and will remain in this city until frost stops the ravages of the fever. The president of the college is General Stephen Lee. a cousin of General Fttzhugh Lee. No eff fort will be made to carry on the school in St. Louis, at least for the present.

STEAMERS TO SABINE PASS
BUSINESS INTERESTS STIRRED UP AT THE CRESCENT CITY.
Quarantine Regulations Owing to Yellow Fever Given as the Reason for the RaiI~
 roads Action.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-A New Orleans snecial to the Herald says New Or leans commercial interests are thor oughly stirred up over the move of the Southern Pacific in transferring it's seven New York steamships from this port to Sabine Pass, Tex. owing to the existing quarantine regulations result ing from the yellow fever scare.
 It means the practical abandonment of the immense terminals of the MOr- gan Company at Algiers, just across the Mississippi.
 The long Wharves and train sheds of the Southern Pacific to-day presented the scene of a deserted village. As sistant General Manager ThornweH Fay assures the shipping men of this city that the move is only temporary, and that it is the result of the Texas health authorities refusing to allow any more freight loaded from New York steamers on cars at Algiers from pass ing through the State of Texas.
 But for all these assurances the sit uation is regarded as a very significant thing in the commercial relations of this city and of Galveston. Already the Koutze syndicate at Sabine Pass, which is a New York concern, and which practically owns everything in and ad- jacent to Sabine Pass, has made great capital over the movement. They are proclaiming that Sabine Pass, Texas, is now destined to become one of the most important shipping ports on the Gulf of Mexico

ASSUMING VERY
 GRAVE PROPORTIONS

MEMPHIS, Oct. S.-The yellow fever situation throughout the State of Mis- souri is assuming grave proportions. The infection may be said to be gen. eral, as there is no section that has not been visited.
 Three interstate railroads have prac- tically suspended business and several short lines are on the verge of tenn porary shutdown, due to the lack of trade Twenty thousand or more peO- pie have hurriedly left the State and are refugees in Northern cities, eagerly awaiting the approach of cold weather
 The disease continues to increase steadily in Jackson, the State capital. Since September 27 there have been forty-four eases there, twentyfour of the patients being negroes. Only five deaths have been reported since the be- ginning. The weather for the past thirty-six hours has been considerably cooler throughout the State,

HAVANA (via Key WesO, Oct. s. The Spanish censor has received in- structions from General BIanco to be exceedingly strict during the crisis brought suddenly about by the unex- pected show of determination by the American Government in the demand for the immediate evacuation of Cuba.
 All dispatches were vigorously cen sored last night and one intended for the Herald and The Call was stricken out completely. An appeal was taken, but the censor was upheld in refusing to allow anything to be said about an incident which ended when Captain Eaton of the Resolute defied General Blanco and Admiral Montero to fire upon the American flag. The matter is now several days old, but was only heard of when the Resolute returned yesterday. The trouble all arose over the steam yacht Alfredo, which brought Benjamin F. Guerra, treasurer Of the Cuban Junta, from New York to Ha- vana. The Alfredo is alleged to have been engaged in several hibustertng expeditions previous to the declaration of war and is one of those vessels hate fuI In the sight of all loyal Spaniards. For this reason the Alfredo had no sooner poked it's nose between Morro and La Punta before it was boarded by officials, who proceeded to find grounds for detaining the vessel and assessing a fine of $50.
 The Alfredo had been detained nine days when it was learned that she was being held on a charge of having en- tered the harbor with improper papers. An appeal was made to Captain Eaton, who was advised by Admiral Sampson that, being in command of the only American war vessel in port, he had much the same power as a Consul, whereupon Captain Eaton wrote to General BlanCo, complaining of the illegal detention of the Alfredo. General Rlanco referred the matter to Senor Montero, secretary treasurer of the Autonomist Cabinet, upon whom Captain Eaton called. Senor Montero, with many ShrugS, said he was sorry to cause so much trouble, but the AL fredo had offended the laws of Spain and would have to suffer. Captain Eaton promptly replied that the Alfredo was a private yacht, her papers were correct and her detention an outrage Moreover, he declared unless clearance papers were ~ranted at once he would go immediately aboard the Resolute, which would tow the Alfredo out of the harbor. If Morro cared to fire on the American flag General Blanco would be held responsible.
 Senor Montero asked for time for consideration, which was not granted He then said he would send clearance papers. Captain Eaton stood firm. say ing he must either have a remission of the fine and clearance papers at once or the Resolute would take the Alfredo in tow.
 Senor Montero ordered clearance papers drawn and the incident ended without burning powder.

PRAISE FOR THE SOLDIERS.

WALKER, Minn., Oct. S,-General Ba- con speaks in the highest terms of praise of the conduct of his men in their fight with the Bear Island Indians.
 NO soldiers ever put up gamer fight, !" he said. and, considering that four-hfths of the men were recruits, their showing was one of which every American soldier may feel proud. The new men were ell tirely unfamiliar with the Krag-Jorgen- sens, and when we were attacked it de- veloped that many of them actually did not know how to load their pieces. But they fought like veterans"
 Of the entire company but twelve or fif- teen were old soldiers. The men are as full of praise for their officers as the off, cers are for the men.

CLAIM THEY DEFEATED BACON
BIG FORGE OF REGULARS IS
 PLACED NEAR LEIGH LAKE.
Owing to the Vigorous Stand o* Idin- nesota's Governor Settlers will Be Given Ample Pro-
 lection.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. S.-Nearly 200 additional troops will be scattered about the scene of the disturbance near Leech Lake within a few hours. Two batteries of National Guardsmen were sent up to-day by the Governor for the protection of Cass Lake settlers.
 At midnight a special train with ninety additional regulars from the Third Regiment at Fort Smelling started for the north. They will be there by morning and will be placed by General Bacon where they can best pro- tect the country. This will make 400 regulars in and about Walker and Leech Lake.
 Reports from the scene of the trouble tonight indicate considerable uncer- tainty. The dancing in Bear Island is kept up and it is looked on as one of the principal causes for apprehension. Many Indians have been seen going from other parts of the reservation toward that island Whether they will join with the comparatively small number of the Bear Island Indians is not known.
 The Bear Islanders are claiming a victory over the soldiers and this may bring recruits. Some of them un- doubtedly are going peacefully to the agency, as ordered to, for they are ac- companied by their families, which would not be the case were their in- tentions hostile. However, a small number of Indians could do much dam age before being captured or killed, for the swanps and lakes are so numerous and the general conditions such that soldiers unacquainted with their sur roundings would be unable to cope with the savages.
 An Indian is authority for the state ment that their loss in the fight of Wednesday was six killed and two nor tally wounded. This same Indian says they want to fight the soldiers, but not tba citizens

DID SOME CLOSE FIGURING
MAJORITY IN SENATE WILL
 BE FROM SIX TO TEN.

NEW YORK, Oct S.-There was an important conference of Republican national leaders in this city to-day in regard to the election of the next United States Senate and House of Representatives Some close figuring was done, and it was the opinion of those who participated in the meeting that they could insure the continuance of Republican control In the National Legislature.
 Senator Mark A. Hanna, chair man of the Republican National Committee; Representative J. w. Babcock of Wisconsin, chair man of the Republican Congress sional Committee; Representative J. A. T. Hull of Iowa, secretary of the committee; General Charles H. Gros- venor of Iowa, political statistician of the administration; Vice President Hobart, and Senator John M Thurston of Nebraska took part in the con- ference.
 From the figures set forth by the Re- publican managers it is deducted that the next United States Senate will be Republican by from six to ten votes; that the next House of Representatives will have a working majority, but not  so large a majority as the present one of f1fty-one votes, and that New York Is a doubtful State so far as the Legis- lature, which will elect a successor of Senator Murphy, is concerned.
 Speaking generally" said Chairman Babcock, "the situation from our standpoint is much more satisfactory than 1t was a few weeks ago. We ex- pect to elect enough Republican Repre- sentatives to give us a good working majority in the House. We figure on l losing .sonoe- of the present majority o1 l hlty-one. Our losses will be in the Eastern, Middle and so-called border States, and will result mainly from local causes. We do not anticipate any loss but instead are figuring on gains on national issues. The Democratic at tempt to make capital out of the criti- cism of the conduct of the war will be futile.
 "On the sound money issue we will gain. The trouble in off year elections when times are good has always been that the people are apathetic, and the party in power has suffered This year we believe that the importance which the people see in the maintenance of sound money will remove this apathy"

GOVERNOR CLoUGH ANGRY.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. S-The Govern ment has notified Governor Clough that 1t has revoked the order putting the com panies of the Fourteenth Minnesota Vol unteers at Duluth and at St. Paul un- der his orders. He had all preparatio made to send the Duluth companies to the front at once and protect the settlers and was arranging to mobilize the re- maining companies at St. Paul He sup poses the revocation is due to General Bacon's message saying that the trouble was over and that there was no more danger. He added:
 q shall pay no more attention to the War Department. If necessary. I will issue call for volunteers, arm them with such guns as l can pick up and let the Government go to the devil. I am tired of doing business with Washington Thera is too much red tape about 1t. Or ders are issued one minute and revoked the next. l am not an alarmist, but 1t is the safe thing to be prepared. It will reassure the settlers and perhaps prevent an outbreak"
 The Governor has received a message from Mayor John H. Meyers of Brainerd, saying:
 'I have just returned from Walker. h. dians are concentrating at Leech Lake in large numbers. Think they held council last night. Situation looks grave"
 w. F. Street wires the Governor from Bemidji, west of Cass Lake:
