The petition StateS that thousands of
Cubans are in great misery and will die

that the resources of the Cuban COM

cope with 50 mudh distress, and that
the people of Cuba, ruined by the late

people, through the president, to save

Shameful Neglect of Stricken Ameri-
can Official.

New York, Nov. g.. A dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says: DR.. Brun-
ner has written a strong letter to Sur
geon General Wyman of the United
States marine service, urging the i'm
portance of the immediate presence in
Havana of competent yellow fever
physicians and nurses. Dr. Drummer,
in unmeasured terms, condemns the
policy of giving incompetent Cuban
physicians charge of those Americans
connected with the quartermaster's
and comnlissary departments who fall
Ill.
Steward, quartermaster's clerk, who
has yellow fever, is very low. His re-
covery is almost impossible. Should
he die, an investigation is probable, and
if it is had, it may show that his life
was the forfeit of the neglect of those
who should have looked out for him.
Then, too, his removal at a critical
stage of the disease from the Hotel
Pasaje to Quinta del Rey hospital, ap-
pears to have been reprehensible. Stew
ard had been neglected by all others
connected with the quartermaster's de-
partmeRt, until some newspaper cor
respondent became disguised and pro-
vided purse for the purpose of giving
the poor fellow the needed nurse and
medicines. This came to the ears of
General Wade, who instructed DR..
Lame to have Steward removed from
the Pasaje. This was done against the
protests from the patient. He was
taken to q dirty, poorly-equipped place,
where the nurses speak only Spanish.
He has since constantly failed, and
only a miracle can now save him.
DIR. Laine, who is q Cuban physician,
though attached to the American COM
mission, Notwithstanding that four
cases of yellow fever had occurred in
that hotel, yesterday requested DR..
Drummer to- sign with him a paper
stating that the hotel is not infected.
DR.. Drummer indignantly refused, and,
upon the facts heretofore given, based
his letter of protest to Surgeon Gen
eral Wyman.
Representatives of American firms

the officials every possible support in
the way of preventing smuggling OF

ELECTION JUDGES ATTACKED
POLLING PLACE IN BUTTE WAS
INVADED.
Masked Men Order Judges to Hold Up
Their Hands, But Are Resisted
Deputy Wounded, Checker Killed.

Butte. Mont, Nov. 9.-Shortly before
o'clock this morning, while two jcdges
were counting the votes in the Dublin
gulch precinct of Butte, two men, with
bandkerchiefs over their faces, ap-
peared at the door of the polling place.
Thev had revolvers in their hands. The
order to throw up hands was given.
There were five judges, two clerks, two
checkers, a deputy sheriff and several
spectators present. Several threw up
their hands. Dennis O'Leary, the dep
uty sheriff, jumped at one of the men.
Both began firing. John DAILY one of
the checkers, was shot in the stomach,
and O'Leary's shoulder was shattered.
The masked men escaped at once. and
all efforts to trace them have been IN
availing. Both wounded men were
taken to the hospital DAILY died on
the way there. The precinct where
the shooting occurred is a strong DEM
ocratic precinct, and some think it was
an attempt to steal the ballot box. The
general opinion, however, is that it was
an attempt at robbery, as some Of the
men in the polling place were known
to have considerable money.

seley responding for their respective
forces, which were described as being
in a perfect state of preparedness to
meet any power disputing Great Bri-
tain's just claims.
The brevity of the speeches showed
that everyone realized the general anX-
iety to hear the Marquis of Salisbury,
who, on rising to respond to the toast
of Her Majesty's Minister'S" was
greeted with prolonged cheers. The
premier began by saying that a sue
cession of events abroad had occa-
stoned grave anxiety to the ministry
for year past He alluded to the muir
der of the empress of Austria, for the
double purpose of expressing the uni
versa1 regret experienced on account of
the crime, and for announcing that
Great Britain had accepted an invita-
ton to take part in q. conference which
would be called to determine upon the
measures which it is possible to take
in order to blot out anarchy. The
Marquis of Salisbury added that at
the same time he was bound to say
that he had no great hope that legis-
lation would abate 'this horrible, mon
strous affection of humanity"
LAUDS BRITISH CAMPAIGNS.
After referring in laudatory man
ner to the British campaigns in India
and in the Soudan, the premier turned
to the Cretan question and the con-

Continuing, the premier remarked:
The solution of this most difficult
problem has witnessed displays of
splendid and unexpected qualities and
diplomacy upon the part of the ad-
mirals, who have successfully accom-
plished what the cabinets of Europe
had been unable to do. [ have some
times thought that if the cabinets were
all dismissed and admirals were in
stalled in their places, Europe would

Turning to the crisis with France.
the premier remarked: 1--WE have had,
quite recently, to consider whether the
question OF a European war was not
very near: but, with great interest and
consideration. the result has returned
happily through the great judgment
and common sense displayed by France

CZAR's PROPOSALS.


Referring again to the war prepara-
tons. and asking his hearers to look
at the state of the world, Lord Sails
bury observed: The car has invited
a congress to provide for the disarm-
ament of the world, but while we offer
our heartiest tribute to his motives and
are willing to assist and sympathize IN
every way until the happy day Wnen
his aspirations are crowned with sue
cess, we must still provide precautions
needful to counterfeit the dangers sur
rounding US. In some respects this
era, this great epoch in the history OF
man. is marked by unhappy omens. 1t
is the first year in which the mighty
force of the American republic has
been introduced among nations, whose
dominions are expanding and whose in
struments, to a certain extent, are war.
Il am not implying the slightest
blame Far from it. [ am not refuS-
ing sympathy to the American republic
in the difficulties through which it has
! passed, but no one can deny that us

all events, and possibly in European
diplomacy. is a grave and serious event,
which may not cQnduce to we interests
| OF. peace, though 1 think, i'll my event,
it is likely to conduce to the interests
| of Great Britain. (Cheers.)
WAR FEELING PREVAILS.
But with this impressed upon US, is
! that the subject matter of war is ter
ribly prevalent on all sides. We see
nations decaying, whose government is
| so bad that it can neither maintain the
| power of self-defense or retain the al
| lection of it's subjects, and when this
| occurs there are always neighbors I'M
| PEELED by some motive-it may be the
highest philanthropy or it may be the
| natural desire of empire-to contest as
to who shall be heir to the falling ma
| ton, and that is the cause of war.
Lord Salisbury then alluded to the
rapidity and unexpectedness with
which war breaks out, and said: II
! Great Britain should ever permit he1
| self-defenses to weaken her whole en-
pire would come gathering to the
ground 1t is, therefore, impossible IN
! the present state and temper of the
world to intermit our naval and mill
tary precautions"
He concluded by "repudiating al
suggestion that our preparations NEAR
! that the country is animated by the
lust of conquest or a love of wal" de-
| claring that Great Britain was only
resolved to maintain the empire Brit
ons have received from their fore
fathers, and to support the peace WHICH
is the glory and sustenance of our en-
| pire."
A great ovation from the entire as
sembly marked the conclusion Of the
premier's speech.

posed it until the fall of 1897, causing us
to lose that years work. And now, be-
fore there has been time to demonstrate
the value Of this policy, and while we
are just beginning to feel the most en-
couraging effect of the work begun. this
effort is again made to prevent selling OF
lands. In this view OF the case it can
hardly be doubted in whose interest at
least this movement is being made"
Do you anticipate substantial results
from the work of the Northern Pacific?
81 most certainly do.
Besides being so extremely we'll
equipped for it, with their great trans
continental railroad, they have an inter
est in it which they fully appreciate, and
which can be relied on to enlist their
earnest and vigorous prosecution OF this
work-the settlement OF the Sunnyslde
country. In the first place, think OF the
tonnage and traffic that magnificent coun-
try will afford when developed. bnt
they have even more important interests
involved than this. They own vast tracts
of arid land, for which there is now no
market. There is no such opportunity
perhaps to demonstrate the value OF
these lands as is offered by the sunny
side country with its magnificent canal
and water supply. When that demon
stration is made the company will have
market for its arid lands and prodigions
increase of it's business will follow.
These are things not to be attained IN
day, but the foundation of them exists in
the opportunity to settle the Sunnyslde
country. Is it conceivable that any
other interest could or would succeed bet
ter than these people, with their vast
facilities and vast interests to be adj
vanced? 1t seems to me there can be
but one answer to that question"
Il there any danger OF this pro-
longed litigation making people fearful OF
titles, as stated in the petition?
None whatever. These titles are per
feet. Nobody could or would question
them if this supposed litigation contin'
ned two years. These titles are as solid
as the United States patent on which
they rest. As to the continued litigation,
there is no litigation. The California
company began its foreclosure, and the
case simply stands to await a sale OF the
property without due sacrifice. Nobody
wants to lltigste."
Is it true that people on government
land are unable to get water?
SIT is not.
1.-The Sunnyside country has great
future. It's people should not allow
to be misled by specious
of this kind. The efforts now
to settle their country will be
and they should put their
shoulder to the wheel and aid those ef
forts in every way. They want to do
this, of course, and of course they will
do it,"
How do you regard the prospects for
selling lands?
They are excellent. Unless some I'M
foreseen cause should simply put stop
to the immigration to this northwest, the
next sixty days will see very gratifying
results in the Sunnyside. The prospects
of that country, IN my opinion, were
never so good as they are today"

A Hot Game at Fresno.

FRESNO. May 22.-The most hotly con- tested game of ball ever witnessed in this city was played at Athletic Park this afternoon between the Fresnos and Ath- letics. From the seventh inning the score stood to 3, and the game extended into the fourteenth inning when an un- fortunate wrangle occurred and the visi- tors refused to proceed. Umpire Sam Ferguson gave the decision to Fresno. After the Oaklands left the diamond they returned and offered to accept the um- pires ruling to which they objected, but Ferguson declared that he had already given the decision to the home team and could not revoke the ruling. Oakland de- clared that it would protest the game.
 Up to the time of the disagreement, the game was the prettiest of the season. The visitors made their three runs in the first and second innings, and their score after that was a long string of ciphers.
 Fresno made two runs in the second, when McCue lined out a three-pagger, bringing in Ferguson and Moore, who were on bases.
 The home team succeeded in tieing the score in the seventh inning, after which both sides failed to get man in
 The game lasted until almost dusk, and the large crowd was wild with excite
 In the latter half of the fourteenth inn ing, Mangerina, the midget catcher, got to first on a fumbled scorcher to infieid Barley made safe one. Mangerina ad- vancing to second. Then Held was up, and bunted the ball and was thrown out at first. Oakland claimed he interfered with the ball and that the base runners should not be allowed to advance bag They wrangled until the umpire gave .-4e game to Fresno.
 This is the second time that the Oak lands have walked off the diamond this season, and the people are thoroughly disgusted with their action to-day. As there was but one man out and two men on bases the home team had a very good chance to score. A strong wind prevailed during the game, and many drives which looked good for safe hits were carried into the felders' mitts.
 Both Russell and Thomas pitched good ball, and their arms lasted well through oTt the long contest. Brittan accepted six chances in right field and Barley and Courtney also put up good games. The shortstop work of Schmeer, for Oakland, was the feature of the game
 The score is as follows:
