JACKSON. Miss. Oct. 20.--The yellow

and the effect of the recent cool weather
is now apparent in the rapidly decreasing
number of new cases. Jackson had only
one case to-day and no deaths. The Their
mometer is in the fifties. The official re-

past twenty-four hours shows only seven
new cases and two deaths for the balance

BUSY AT BROOKLYN YARD.

New York, March 29.-The activity in
the workshops and CD the vessels large
and small in the Brooklyn navy yard has
not abated.
Word was received this morning from
Washington authorizing the enlistment
of all desirable men for one year unless
the service desires to discharge them
before that time. Those who are in most
demand, and very few have made appli-
cation, are maohinists of the first class,
carpenters and able bodied seamen.
The orders also state that the crews of
the auxiliary vessels shall be enlisted as
crews of their respective vessels.

TALK OF ARMlsTloE ABSURD.
Spain Will Never Withdraw Her Forces
While Rebels Are In Arms.

Washington, March 29.-The Spanish
minister called by appointment on Judge
Day today.
The purpose and results of the Spanish
ministers talk with Judge Day of course
that prevails at the state department.
In general way, however, 1t is said,
Ii was productive of further expressions
from high officials that the aspect con-
tinued pacific.
1t was learned the last difference has
disappeared as to Spain Directing to
the despatch of relief supplies by the
United States government to Cuba.
Spain has also expressed full willingness
to allow the reconcen trados to be assisted
by agricultural implements, etc., or in
any other way the United States sees
fit to adopt SO long as it does not as
sumo form offensive to Spain by being
carried by warships. Beyond this, how
ever, the plans OF settlement have taken
a very wide range and not one OF them is
yet reduced to such concrete form that
it gives promise of acceptance by both
governments. Both sides it is said, by
persons familiar with the negotiations,
appear to be animated by an earnest de.
sire to avoid war by all honorable means
and for this reason every possible propo-
sition or basis of adjustment is being full
ly canvassed. There is high authority
for saying however, that the Spanish at
titude up TO the present time has not
been to consider either the indep ndence
of Cuba, forcible intervention, or the sale
Of the island.
There is much difference of opinion as
to the so-called armistioes among officials
who ought to be fully advised to the ex-
act terms if it has assumed definite
form. A gentleman well acquainted
with Spanish affairs pointed cut today
that the talk OF an armistice was out
OF the question as Spain would never
Withdraw her forces in Cuba while the
rebellious element was In arms. He said
also that the statements published con-
corning propositionf for enlarged autono-
my, to go into force Immediately after
the coming Cuban election, was not in
fact under consideration as the reported
terms of this new autonomy are in de-
tail embraced lin the present autonomy
now about to be put into force.

Key West March 80. -Provisions for the
Cubans which arrived here two weeks
tomorrow still lie useless in the naval
station for want of authority to ship
them to Cuba. The authorities today
asked permission to use the dispatch boat
Baohe for this purpose but no answer
has been as yet received. The provisions
do not improve with the delay and accord
ing to reports the Cubans continue to
starye. The original programme was to
send this shipment by the Fern but the
ARRANGEMENTS were broken by the sudden
call of that vessel to Havana.

THE TALK IN HAVANA.

Havana, March 29--While great inter
est is felt among the Americans here the
report of the board of inquiry has beer
so completely discounted by publications
in Havana, Madrid and American news
papers asito its principal features that nc
special surprise was manifested on the
publication of the findings. Naval men
regard the order not to talk about tn G
Maine explosion as still in force and they
are therefore unwilling to discuss the
report or to throw side lights on the testi-
mony. All think the cabled synopsis
obscure in many respects and prefer to
wait for the full text before commenting
upon the findings even among themselves.
Interest is now centered upon tho diplo-
matte doings mt Madrid and Washington,
with reference to a cessation Of hostilities
and the feeding of the reconcentrados.
Amy news about those phases of the prob
lem is eagerly read when coming from
responsible sources. The tone teening
today has Z been distinctly more
peaceful. and the hope is expressed and
even entertained that,a satisfactory solu-
zion may be found of ali differences.
The Mangrove left last night for Key
West with load of salvage from the
wreck of the Maine. Much satisfaction is
feit in the election Of Lieut.. Col. Mendez
es delegate to the Spanish Cortes on the
Conservative ticket. He is the military
censor at Havana and Is sometimes COM
PEELED to refuse to pass matter offered to
him.
A He is always ooureous, however, and
as obliging as his sense of duty will allow.
The correspondents Of the conservative
organs unite in expressing their satisfac-
tion at his political preferment He Is
bound to cut prominent figure in the
Cortes.
Of The four bodies recovered yesterday

have been at work today taking out am
tnunition aft.
LA Lucia published communication
signed "Silvius' asking number of
qtestions among them:
tsWhat about the discomfort of the sail
ors Of the Maine on account OF being
ffenied shore leaveY"
"Did the officers of the Maine say that
life on the United States warships is SO
hard that they hoped to see the whole
navy blown up?"
ssHow about the dinner on the City of
Washington, where all the officers saved
were PRESENT."
What kind of PRECAUTIONS were taken
when guns were loaded and torpedoes
primed?"
"Why were no torpedoes found after the
wreckP'
"What about the confusion after the
explosion, so great that sailors did not
bower the boats?"

grave questions that the American court

plosion was external
