 All Schools Closed
 The various educational institutions lo- cated in the city, Milsaps and Belhaveen colleges and the public schools are silent, and only the appearance of a germ-de- stroying frost can open their doors.
 About 90 per cent of the white citizens have fled. The negro populat on Is still here, but majority of them are with the cordon which encloses the original in- fected district. There is a great destitu- tion among them as well as among many of those in other portions of the cty and relief associations are trying to supply them with the necessit es of life by solc- iting contributions. Prominent in this work are Bishop Charles B. Galloway, of the Methodist church. and Secretary of State J. l.. Power.

 There is no difference between sundays and other days of the week. There are no religious services. The ministers of the various denominations are all here but the'r flocks are scattered to the four winds.
 Newspapers Have Suspended
 The newspapers have suspended, and the only vehicle in the city for the dissemina- tion of news in the city is little daily bulletin published by a few printers who refused to join in the rush for colder climate.
 At g o'clock D. m. in solemn tones the big fire alarm bell tolls a warning to all to retire to their homes, and few minutes later the already silent city grows death- like in its stiffness, and only the footballs of the policeman on his beat and of the guards forming the cordon around the Quarantined negroes can be heard.
 Fortunately, the disease appears to be of a mild character, and while there have been many cases and will be many more the deaths have been few. This is the en- couraging feature of a very discouraging situation.

Causes the Cuban Spirit to Show Itself
 at Manzanillo.

Santiago, October 12-A dispatch from Manzanllo to the office of the Associated Press says now that the American flag is flying over that city, and that the Cuban element has come to the surface. The people are seemingly enthusiastic. The mayor and collector had both received in- structions not to turn over their office to the Americans except under protest and in the presence of consul and a notary,
 At the office of the collector was found cable message from Senor Montero, the chief of customs at Havana, notifying him that the military occupation of the Amer jeans was not to affect the civil administra- ton, which is still under an autonomous government.

FOR RELIEF OF DESTITUTE

 tiago-Gomezf for President.

Havana, October 12-At a private confer ence at the palace yesterday General Wade requested Captain General Blanco to cause the evacuation at the earliest possible date of two ports on the island, in order to fa- cilitate the immediate bringing of relief ra- tions to Cuba.
 Colonel Rowan and his aide-de-camp ar rived here last night, thus completing their the distance on horseback, and on the way visited number of Cuban camps, where Colonel Rowan says want and destitution abound.
 The colonel had an interview with General Gomez, and found the insurgent commander eager to cooperate with the United States. disbanded as soon as the Spaniards evacu- ate the island and a permanent form of government is established. It is probable that Gomez will be elected president. He is in favor of a general election, in which Cubans and Spaniards will alike take part, and in which all taxpayers will have vote and voice.
 A notice was handed to our commission CTS yesterday by the Spaniards treating of the fortresses, batteries and other fortif- cations and defenses of the islands as be- longing to the United States, which shows that some progress is being made in the work which the military commission were to carry out
