THE HOUSE OUT OF TEMPER.

The house was in very bad temper
and the whole session was consumed
in filibustering against two bills OF
minor importance. one to issue a
duplicate check and the other TO make

Neither got further than the engrOss-
ment and third reading. The trouble
arose over the enforcement Of the rule

subjects when Mr.. Handy, Demo
crat of Delaware, attempted to reply
on the floor during the consideration
Of those bills to a letter recently writ
ten by Thomas f. Bayard, secretary
of state under the Cleveland admins
tration. in denunciation of the free
silver Democracy. Roll call followed
roll call all day long and partisan
feeling reached high pitch. Finally,
when it became evident that no prog
ress could be made with the bills pre-
scented. an adjournment was taken I'M
til Monday.

New York, Sept. IA. - A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Aside from the loss of her colonies and
the ships destroyed in battle the war

to this effect has been received at
the navy department from the naval
attaches of this government abroad.
Including the cost of preparation In
anticipation Of the war begun by Spain

from the sale Of 10000 Cuban notes in
1896, $5,7S4,S97; loan of 4~OO.OOO.OOG

WILLING TO HURRY MATTERS.
Porto Rican Spanish Commissioners
VIII EXPEDITE Business.

Porto Rican Spanish Commfsstoners
Will Expedite Business.
San Juan, Porto Rico, Sept. 14.-The
two evacuation commissions held an
hours session yesterday and ad-
journed until Wednesday. The Amer
lean commissioners made known their
position regarding the evacuation and
transfer of the island, in accordance
with their instructions from Washing
ton. These instructions they decline
to make public at present, as pub,
licIty might lead to embarrassment In
negotiations; but the Spanish commits
sioners did not disclose their positions
nor the nature of their instructions.
They manifested, however, willingness
to secure as much expedition as pos
s,ble, and our commissioners are sat
isfied with the way in which their de-
mands have been informally received.
The adjournment gives the Spaniards
time to prepare a reply. When that is
presented issue will be joined and the
situation become CLEAR. What effect,
If any, the appearance of yellow fever
among the troops at Ponce will have,
is problematical. Should the fever
spread it would doubtless induce the
American commissioners to hasten
the evacuation the utmost; but as yet
there is not the slightest, reason to ex-
pect an epidemic. Gen. Brooke saws
two cases have been reported to him
and one death. AS soon as he learned
of ethese he caused all suspects to be
isolated with a view to preventing the
spread of the infection. 1t is believed
that the cases originated in the
Spanish prison at Siboney.

fully despite the terrible shock, which,
in view Of his age, has inspired the
gravest apprehension. Although at
first stunned, and then slightly ex-
cited, he soon regained his self-con-
troll and displayed remarkable calm
ness. Occasionally, however, com
pletely ~overpowered by agitation, he
moaned piteously, repeatedly sobbing
the name Of the empress. Addressing
the chief marshal of the imperial
household he exclaimed: ut is incon-
ceivable how a man could lift his hand
against one who never in her life
harmed anybody; one who did great
good" Then he moaned: Nothing
is spared to me in this world"

Transforming Santiago In a Healthy
American City.
Santiago, Cuba, Sept. 14.-As the re-
suit Of the general introduction by
Gen. Wood, military governor of San
tiago, of American methods of con-
Quoting municipal affairs, this an
Gent and always unhealthy city pre-
sents a health record to-day which is
quite extraordinary, considering the
conditions that existed there a month
ago. Under the present system Santi-
ago is divided into five divisions under
five physicians, each division having
inspectors of sewers, streets, houses
and dispensiaries, with a hundred
street cleaners. Five hundred cubic
yards of refuse are burned daily, dis
in%fectants are distributed wherever
they are needed, and a heavy fine ts
imposed for uncleanliness and failure
to report unhealthful conditions and
death. Quick proofs of the benefit OF
the system are furnished by the de-
crease in sickness among the poor.
The daily death rate of seventy a
month ago has fallen to twenty. Fur
Their evidence of the wisdom and thor
oughness of the new sanitary arrange
ments is supplied by the lessening Of
sickness among the new troops.

sin Arrested.

Geneva, Swift, Sept. IL. - The en-
press Of Austria was assassinated at
the Hotel Beaurivage by an anarchist,
who was arrested. He stabbed her
majesty with a stiletto. Her majesty
was walking from her hotel to the
landing place o: the steamer, when an
Italian anarchist suddenly approa :hed
and stabbed her 10 the heart. The
empress fell, got up again and was
carried to the steamer unconscious.
The boat started. but, seeing the en-
press had rot recovered consciousness,
the captain returned and the empress
was carried to ,he hotel, where she ex-
pired. The muruGter is &a,neel Luc-
cheni. He was. I'll in Paris, of ltal-
ian parents.
Another account says: After having
been stabbed from behind, the EN-
press rose and walked ON board the
steamer, where she fell, fainting. The
captain did not wish to put off from
the quay, but did so at the request Of
the empress and her suite, there being
no apprehension that she was serious
ly hurt. The steamer was turned
back from the open lake, and the en-
press, unconscious, was carried to the
hotel on a stretcher. Greve fears are
expressed regarding the effect which
the assassination may have upon the
emperor, whose health has never re-
covered from the blow Of Crown
Prince Rudolph's tragic death, and it
is known that his majesty lately has
been very feeble. The stretcher upon
which the empress was carried to the
hotel was hastily improviccd with
oars and sail cloth. Doctors and
priests were
Immediately Summoned,
and a telegram was sent to Emperor
Francis Joseph. All efforts to revive
her majesty were %unavailing. The
medical examination showed that the
assassin must have used Il small tri-
angular file. After striking the blow
he ran along the Rue DIES Alps with
the evident intention Of entering the
Square DIES Alps, but before reaching
it he was seized by two cabmen who
had witnessed the crime. They hand
ed him over to a boatman and a
gendarme, who conveyed him to the
police station. The prisoner made no
resistance. He ever sang as he walked
along, caying: II did it and she must
be dead" At the police station he de-
clared that he was a Starving an
archist, with no hatred for the poor
but only for the rich" The assassion
told the magistrate that he came to
Geneva in order to assassinate "anoth-
err important person." but had been un-
able to execute the project. The fed
eral authorities had been Informed OF
the visit of the empress and they no.
titled the governors of the cantons the
empress expected to visit, ~instructing
them to take special police measures
for her comfort and safety if it ap-
peared necessary. They were not in
formed of her majesty's intention to
visit Geneva, nor were the local IaG-
thorities aware of her presence there,
as she was travelling incognito.

Portsmouth, n. H., Sept. IA. - Most
of the sailors and marines who sur
vived the disaster which befell the
warships of Admiral Cervera at San
tiago on July 3, were taken from
Seavey's island this morning by the
steamship City of Rome. On his way
to the boat the admiral spoke enthusi-
astically to those who accompanied
him Of the treatment the Americans
had accorded to the Spanish prisoners,
to his staff and to himself. He de-
tailed the many courtesies he had re-
ceived at Portsmouth, Annapolis, Nor
folk, New York and Washington. He
said he would carry home with him
many happy recollections of the kind
ness and generosity of. those high in
official circles as we'll as citizens in
every walk Of life. The City Of Rome,
with Admiral Cervera and staff and
over LOO Spanish prisoners, sailed for
Santander, Spain. OF the number
1858 men were taken from the prison
at Seavey's island.

New York, Sept. II. - A dispatch
to the Press from Camp Wikoff saws:
Under peremptory orders from Gen.
Miles, preparations are being made'to
break up camp at once by sending
home all the soldiers here. This is en-
tirely contrary to what has been the
understanding Of the officers In com
mand. Gen. Shafter said last week
that 5000 or 1000 men wOuld be kept
here at least until October, and this
was supposed to have been the order
of Secretary Alger. An officer said
that when Gen. Miles order came a
telegram was sent him saying that his
order was contrary to that Of Secre-
tary Alger, and Miles replied:
"Never mind what Alger says; am
in command nOw.".
That, of course, settled it so far as
the officers here are concerned, and
unless Gen. Miles orders are
manded next week will see the practl-
cal end Of Camp Wikoff. Gen. Bates
said:
"My orders are to send the troops
away as fast as transportation can be
arranged"
When asked if these orders did not
conflict with those of Secretary Alger,
he simply said:
'They are new orders"
In of this plan the deten-
ton hospital is being abandoned. All
the men in this hospital fit to travel
are being sent to New York on the
Shinnecock, and the others are being
taken to the general hospital. The
ronoro1 hoSrital is hpinp cleaned out
as fast as possible, but there are two
or three hundred cases that cannot be
moved without danger. Strong frame
buildings are now being erected for
the use Of these patients. These build
ings will be finished in two or three
days and the worst cases will be
moved into them. Nearly all of these
are typhoid fever cases, to move which
would cause a frightful mortality.
Mai. Brown said that he thought there
would be about fifty cases which
would not be moved for two or three
weeks at least.
