RABBITS are spreading diphtheria,
the doctors say, throughout the central
part of Iowa. Some time ago it was
noticed that hundreds of the bunnies
were dying of disease which the doc.

diphtheria in the human family. Soon
after the epidemic commenced among
the rabbits diphtheria began to be
noticed among the families in the local
ity. The conclusion was reached that
the germs were conveyed by the Iowa
animals

NAVAL ORDERS
Dewey Needs Light Draughts Vessels.
The Cuban SQUADRON

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
Two more men OF war will probably follow
the auxiliary cruiser Buffalo to the Asiatic
station. Orders have already been given to
the gunboat Helena to prepare for her long
trip through the Suez Canal to the Far
East and as soon as she is ready she will
start.
Rear-Admiral Dewey has impressed upon
the department the necessity OF having a
large number of light draught gunboats
among the Philippine Islands. The York
town, it is understood, will be placed in com
mission on the Pacific Coast and will start
for Manila.
In addition to these gunboats it will be
necessary for the department within the
next few months to send AN auxiliary cruiser
carrying another draft of men to take the
places OF those on the Asiatic station whose
terms of enlistment have expired.
Before permitting Naval Constructor Hob
son to continue the work of raising the
cruiser Crstobal Colon, his plans must re-
ceive the approval of the Naval Board of
Construction. Orders have been given to
him to appear in Washington on Monday
next at meeting of the board. Mr.. Hob
son will detail his plan for floating the
Colon.
Believing it desirable to add the chief
intelligence officer to the membership of
the Board of Construction, orders have
been given to Commander Clover, appoint
ing him member OF the organization
Captain a. S. Crowninshield, Acting Sec
retary OF the Navy, has given instruction.
to Commander West, commanding the gun
boat Princeton, directing him to proceed
with his vessel to San Juan, Porto Rico, and
take station there until relieved.
The cruiser Newark will remain at San
Juan until the arrival of the Solace with
Commander A. S. Snow, and when Com
mander Snow assumes duty as cammandant
OF the station, Rear-Admiral Schley will
board the Newark and sail for home.
1t is stated at the navy yard that the
cruiser Brooklyn will sail for Manila by way
of the Suez Canal on Monday or Tuesday
with recruits, ammunition and supplies for
Admiral Dewey's fleet. On her way she
will coal at Colombo, Ceylon.
Work on the cruiser Chicago is advancing
rapidly and it is believed that she will be
ready next week to go into commission.

PHILADELPHIA JUBILEE
Is CLOSED WITH A MONSTER
PROCESSION
One Hundred and Ten Bands and Fifty
Thousand Men Marched in
the Line

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 2S-Philadel-
pnlans and their visitors again poured into
the streets today to seek positions to wit
ness the third and last of the great peace
jubilee procession. Todays procession was
purely of civic character and was most
fitting windup of the weeks jubilee, the
emblems OF peaceful industry following the
display OF the nations prowess in war.
The exercises OF the day opened with the
rededication OF old Independence Hall, the
historic building from which the declaration
of independence was read by the people of
the new republic on July 4, l776. The build
ings which had from time to time since that
date been added for use as offices of the
municipal authorities have all been recently
removed and the famous hall is now in it's
original form, as it was l20 years ago when
occupied by the United States Congress and
the national government officials. The re-
dedication exercises were presided over by
Governor Hastings and was opened by prayer
by Rev. DR.. Brownson. The anthem, My
Country, 'Tis of Thee, was sung by 800
pupils of the public schools, accompanied
with music by the First Regiment Band. The
memorial poem, composed by Mrs. Florence
Earle Coates, dedicated to the peace jubi-
lee, was read by Daniel w. Hutchins, prin-
cipal of one of the public schools.
The anthem, Columbia, was sung by the
scholars and then followed the Grafton by
Mayor Charles Warwick
Upon the conclusion of the ceremonies, the
great audience hurried to positions from
which to see the monster procession. A
stand covered the sidewalk in front of the
historic hall, erected for occupancy during
the parade by the three thousand school
children who had participated in the dedi-
cation ceremonies.
The mammoth trades display or what was
known as, the civic parade, left Broad
and Cumberland streets promptly at IL
o'clock, headed by Major-Generla r. S.
Snowden and staff of thirty mounted aides
The parade was one of the greatest in the
history Of the country. 1t was divided into
ten divisions and it is estimated that there
were $4,000 men in line, besides at least l50
floats, representing almost every manufac
ure and manufacturing interest. There were
10 bands of music in line.
The weather was most delightful.

CUBAN and SPANlARD
MAY DO GARRISON DUTY IN THE
UNITED STATES
THE NEW NATIONS ASSEMBLY
Will Remain in Session Until a Gov
ernment Has Been Formed by
General Election
Associated Press Special Wire.


NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
Cubans and even Spaniards will be ell
listed for garrison duty in the United States
in connection with the occupation of Cuba,
in case Congress approves the recommended
ton which Secretary Alger will make in his
Forthcoming annual report. This subject has
been frequently discussed by the President
and his Cabinet and the conclusion reached
to provide employment for limited num-
ber of Cubans by enlisting them into the
army of the United States. 1t will not be
the policy to discriminate against any class,
Men now in the Spanish army in Cuba, who
NAV elect to remain in the island, will be
eligible for enlistment in the ranks OF the
American army. 1t is not proposed at first
to accept residents of Cuba as organizations,
but to enlist the men individually and as
sign them regular regiments with American
troops and officers. Eventually regiments
composed entirely of native soldiers will be
organized and left in charge OF the garri-
sons from which American troops will be
withdrawn. =,
Secretary Alger in his annual report to
Congress will recommend the enactment of
legislationl and appropriations for the main
tenance of the army to be held in the sew
eral new colonial possessions for the next
fiscal year. In this connection he will re-
quest that authority be expressly given for
he enlistment of Cuban soldiers.
It is estimated that there are about $1,000
Spanish soldiers who will elect to remain
in Cuba, and that a large percentage of this
number will seek enlistment in the ranks of
the regular army. 1t is also estimated that
there are about 10000 Cuban insurgents who
would gladly accept service in the American
army.
The authorities believe, however, that not
more than $4,000 men altogether will be
necessary for the garrisons contemplated
for Cuba. The Cubans first enlisted will
be selected in small numbers and with great
care. The department will follow the ad-
vice of Major General Butler and give EN-
dents of the island, not only in the army bnt
in connection with any other work that
may be undertaken. BY thus encouraging
industry, it is hoped to avoid any clash with
the insurgents.
