With Typhoid Fever.

SAN JOSE, Jan. 16.-A telephone
message from Gilroy Hot Springs this
evening states that there was a slight
improvement in the condition Of Charles
NJ Shortridge, the well-known news

such as to warrant any hope Of his

Mr.. SEortridge being too much weak
ened by illness to be able to stand q
long siege, which he would have to un-
dergo before recovering from an at
tack of typhoid. The attending physi-
clan looks for a relapse and death,
which may occur within the next TWEEN
ty-four hours.
Mrs. C. M. Shortridge and Samuel M.

sufferer, are at his bedside, and while
others are respondent. they have hopes
that he will ultimately recover.

EXCITEMENT CONTINUES.
A GENERAL REVOLT POSSIBLE
IN HAVANA.
There Have as Yet Been No Hos
tile Demonstrations Against
Americans.

HAVANA, Jan. 15.-(Delayed in
transmission) Although outwardly
order is restored here, great excitement
continues, and unless the newspapers
exercise under the present press CEN
sorship great prudence. a general re-
volt is probable with much bloodshed,
because, in such an event, the army
volunteers would fraternize.
General Blanco's position is more
difficult because his mild methods of
warfare disqualify him TO use energy

The rioters intend going in a pacific
manner to the palace to request Cen

unjustly charged by political intriguers
with fomenting mob violence.

Adjutants, to retire. General Garrichs,
an intelligent, noble Cuban, whose 10y
atty has never been doubted, confront
ed the leaders of the mob, Major Fuen-
ties and Captain Calvo of the artillery.
Major Fuentes resented the rebuke, and
General Garrichs, Infatuated, snatched
several decorations from the breast Of
