jubilee exhibitions have been cancelled
Emperor Francis Joseph received the
news at Schoenbrunn. His Majesty's jour-

WILHELMINA is WILLFUL.
CensOrizes the Premier Documents
and Acts for Effect.

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 10. - With the en-
thronement festivities well nigh over, Queen
Wilhelmina is prepared to assume the re-
sponsibilities of royalty. which she realizes
to the fullest extent. The Queen values her
high position, and the stories told of her.
self are evidently not exaggerated. The
proclamation in the church originally be-
gan, as written by the prime minister ITO
the people of the Netherlands" but the
Queen altered the phrase so as to read ITO
my people," During the special perform
ance at the Royal Theater, when the Queen
and the entire house were standing, during
the chorus the Queens song book happened
to be lying on the rail before her. With
sharp nudge of her elbow she prompted the
Queens mother, who was standing by her
side, to stoop, open the book and hand it
to her naughty young Majesty.
Her love of effect is evinced by the fact
that new window in honor of the House
of Orange was placed in the church where
the coronation occurred, especially for the
occasion, and the Queen arranged that the
ceremony should be so timed that the sun
light streaming through shall fall full upon
her. The people, however, love and reverence
her. and her name is everywhere the signal
for enthusiastic cheers. On her return to
The Hague a noted perfumer brought out
jars and bottles of the rarest extracts,
which were sprnked on the ground or
thrown into the air before the royal car
riage.

YELLOW FEVER At PONCE.
Some Doubt if the Cases Have Been
Accurately Diagnosed.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1O-Surgeon Gen.
eral Sternberg to-day received a dispatch
from the chief surgeon at Ponce, Porto
Rico, saying that there were four cases of
yellow fever and one death among the
troops there. This is the first report of yell
low fever among the troops in Porto Rico.
There is some doubt as to whether or not
yellow fever has actually appeared, as re-
ported, among the American troops in Porto
Rico. A cablegram was received this even
ing at the War Department from General
Brooke at San Juan, in which he says that
while two deaths from that fever were re-
ported from General Young's command he
discredits the report that they are cases OF
yellow fever, and has ordered a careful
medical investigation. The officials at the
War Department are meanwhile comforting
themselves with the statement from medical
sources that the wet and unhealthy season
in Porto Rico is rapidly nearing its end,
and before October has fairly started the
weather conditions will be such that the
fever will disappear If it should turn out
that it has really appeared among the
troops.

auditor of war. The presentation was made
by Captain General Macias. Both commits
sions then retired to the spacious council
room, hung with fine paintings. where cre-
dentials were exchanged.
The Spanish commissioners were most
courteous. They explained that their en-
barrassment was due to the fact that their
instructions had failed to arrive though ex-
pected on the Alfonso XIII, overdue since
yesterday. They assured the American
commissioners of their confidence that the
instructions would arrive during the day or
tomorrow and suggested an adjournment
until Monday at o'clock to which the
American commissioners promptly agreed.
The American commissioners also agreed
to the suggestion that the sessions of the
commission should be secret, as many ques-
tions of a diplomatic character might arise,
which, if given publicity, might embarrass
the work
The two commissions will meet separate
1y to begin with, and the joint sessions will
be held to exchange preparations. The
American official interpreters, stenograph-
ers and typewriters and expected to-mor

The American commissioners will dis
play a liberal spirit in the negotiations,
taking the position that they can afford to
be generous as to nonessentials. They are
only anxious to bring about evacuation as
soon as possible. The Spanish officials have
been at work several days making in
ventories of the government property.
Many officers have all their effects packed
and will welcome the day on which they
sail for SPAIN

ALL EUROPE HoRRIFIED.
The Anarchists Victim Was n Most
Beloved Woman.

BERNIE Switzerland Sept. 10.--The Presi-
dent of Switzerland and other members of
the government were stunned with horror
and grief when the news reached the palace
that the Empress, so beloved by all Euro
peans, had fallen victim to an assassin
within the borders of their country. They
Immediately arranged to hold an extraor-
binary federal council on Sunday morning in
order TO consider the measures to take
against the assassin. The latter must be
tried according to the statutes Of the Can
ton, in which the crime was committed
which forbid capital punishment and make
life Imprisonment the most severe penalty
which can be imposed.
When the Austrian minister Count Kuef-
stein, was informed of the tragedy he hur-
ried to the palace and was met with ex-
pressions of the deepest sympathy. So soon
as special train could be arranged the
minister started for Geneva, accompanied
by the deputy prosecutor general. who took
up the case at once. his chief being on
vacation. He will hold a preliminary in
quiry at Geneva tonight, or as soon as pos
sible, and return tomorrow in order to re-
port to the Federal Council. The federal au-
thorities had been informed of the visit of
the Empress, and they notified the COVER
nors of the cantons the Empress expected
to visit, instructing them TO take special
police measures for her comfort and safety
if it appeared necessary. They were not in
formed of her Majesty's intention to visit
Geneva. nor were the officials there aware
of her presence. as she was travelling in
cognito. The police are not blamed though
the circumstances responsible for the lack
of precautions widely regretted. All
Switzerland is profoundly stirred with sor-
row and Indignation. The papers of all the
cities have printed extra editions expressing
horror of the crime.

two large easy chairs alongside General
Shafter, as he sat in the office of the adj
jutant general this morning, was large

inscription: Spanish flag taken from the
converted cruiser Mexico in the harbor of

same date
The flag was brought to the department
by General Shafter. in accordance with the
law which requi7es all captured standards
to be deposited for safe keeping with the

General Shafter had nearly an hours con-
ference with the President to-day. He came
over to the White House from the War De-
partment with Colonel Miley, of his staff,
and Adjutant General Corbin. The general
went over the Santiago campaign with the
President going into details as far as pos
sible with the time at the Presidents dis
posal. On leaving the White House the
general said he had about completed his re-
port, and would have it ready for delivery
to the secretary of war by Monday morn
ing He would then leave to take command
at Camp Wikoff. The general did not seem
to credit the report that later on he would
be put in command of the Department of
California. He expressed himself as strong
ly in favor of rigid investigation of the
conduct of the Santiago campaign
General Egan, of the commissary depart
ment, also called at the White House and
had talk with the President. Later on
the general said that he had insisted upon a
most searching investigation of the COM
nissary department, and felt sure that
when the truth became known it would be
seen that very many Of the published re-
ports concerning the food supplies to the
army were absolutely without any founda-
ton.

Francis Joseph Immediately on receipt of
news of the assassination, and he has since
countermanded the arrangements for the
shooting party fixed for tomorrow at the
Marty preserves. The police here believe
the murder is the result of plot of Italian
Anarchists, and that the assassin is iden-
tical with one Luccesi. who is wanted by
the Bologna police as dangerous Anarch-
ist. The man known as Luccesi was impli-
Gated in the recent troubles at Milan, after
which he fed to Zurich.
While at Zurich Luccesi was present at
meeting of Italian Anarchists, when seven

including the King of Italy. A French de-

MADRID, Sept. 9. via Bayonne.-The po-
shaken by the charges made Friday against
the government, collectively and individ-
ually. by Senior Csnalejas, editor of FL
Heraldo and now recognized lieutenant
in the newly organized party headed by
General Polavieja. 1t is believed that Senior
Canalejas has documents to support his ac-
cusations of incapacity against Lieutenant
General Correa, minister of war, and Capt
Aunon, minister of marine. A majority Of
the Cabinet listened to the speech and the
silence of the ministerial deputies was most
significant. A minister. in reply to ques-
ton as to the rumor that ministerial
crisis is imminent, said it was idle to at
tempt to conceal the fact that crisis was
inevitable and would come next week, after
the Chamber had adopted the govern
ment's bill authorizing the alienation of ma
tional territory as condition of peace. The
Queen Regent, it is understood, informed
Senior Sagasta yesterday that she would
continue to bestow her confidence upon him
for some days yet.
Several prominent deputies are in favor
of joining General Polavieja's party. Dur
ing the Senate session Senator Lastres, of
Porto Rico. and Senator Pinedo, of Cuba,
violently attacked the United States for
having seized the Antilles, regardless of
justice and legality" and for "dscarding
the mask of humanity assumed in order to
get possession of the two islands, the great
majority of whose people is devoted to
Spain"
General Linares. discussing the Santiago
surrender says: IF l had considered the
