N. }. SOCIAL CLUBS DEATH.
Efforts to Keep Aaoat Prove Vain
and Disarmament Results.

The last meeting of the New Jersey So
cial Club which has had a very varied ca
reer for the past two years came to an
end last evening when the few members
tina were left in it decided that they
should disband for good and give up all
hopes of ever starting another club Of its
kind. When the club first started 1t was
known as the New Jersey Dramatic Club
and had a membership of about thirty
young ladies and wenty young men. The
club was very prosperous in those days,
but in about six months time things took
a change and a number of the young la
dies. SO it is said, that jealousy existed
between them. resigned from the club,
and then there was a lot of gossiping
by the ones that resigned and in a short
while the few members that remained
had to give up the struggle to keep the
club on its feet, and a special meeting
was called.
At this meeting the clubs effects were
to be disposed of and as the majority of
the chairs and pictures were owned by
those who had resigned from the club
first, they went also to the meeting n
demanded hat they receive the furniture
that belonged to them. At first they
were told they would not get it, but as
a row was Just about to begin between
the factions it was averted by a member
with a wise head, who got up and said
that if the furniture belonged to these
people they were entitled to it and the
club assented to his words.
After the disgruntled members, who
really had started the club, had departed
they gave as their reasons for leaving it
that the members whe have been trying
to keep it going came in and tried to run
things their own way, and as a conse-
quence the original members to the num-
Der of twenty resigned.
"A few months afterward the club was
re~organized with a very small member
ship. 1t has since been trying vainly to
keep af1oat. 1t is now dead forever, and
it Is expected that a lot of gossip will
result amongst the members of the war
ring factions.

PATRIOTIC G~REENvILLE.
Flags and National Emblems Every-
where.

Not in all the city is there such a dis
play of patriotism as in the Greenville
section. That part of the city resembled
a holiday today, with the thousands of
American flags floating gayly in The
breeze. Columbia Hall is literally covered
with American flags, and from every one
Of the hundred windows in that building
some sort of flag or bunting is hung.
From the pole of the station house OPP
posite a large American flag is flying, and
on many Of the large buildings flags are
to be seen a-plenty. The signal fiags are
getting to be very popular, and on many
houses they are arranged to read:-"Re-
member the Maine"
From the c~lubhouses of the Grant, Min
kakwa and League Republican clubs flags
are flying. Along Garfield, Danforth, Lin
den, Ocean and Pearsall avenues the pri-
waite dwellings are gaily decorated with
flags and bunting. The houses along the
Boulevard, too, in that section, are not a
bit behind the others, and many are pro-
fusely decorated with large American

DECLINE OF FEVER.
Not a Single Case Reported for Past
 Forty-Eight Hours.

Washington, October A.-The rapid de- cline of yellow fever in the south Is shown on the few reports now reaching the marine hospital service, not a single new case be- ing reported and but few dispatches relat- ing to the fever having been sent here in the past forty-eight hours. The cold weather Is accomplishing all that was ex- pected. The officials, however are adopt ing all necessary precautionary measures, and Acting Surgeon General Bailhath said today:
 lowing to the intimate communication between Cuba and the United States 1t was deemed best to order, by direction of the secretary of the treasury, that regulations governing the active marine hospital quar- antines be extended to continue all such stations until November 15. The necessity for this action is obvious as transports are still carrying troops between Cuba and our ports at home with the consequent liability of infection being brought into our own ports. By the middle of next month, how ever, the disease will have practically dis appeared in Cuba. Even after that time the inspection of all vessls at all quaran- tine stations will be continued though mere ly of precautionary nature, to ascertain conditions"

LIEUT.. ROBSON REACHES BOSTON On His Way to Washington to
 See Secretary Long. THE VlZCAYA GAN BE SAVED An Appropriation of $1 100000 Would Enable the Government to Raise
 the Vessel and Bring Her
 North for Repairs.
THE VIZCAYA GAN BE SAVED

Boston, October 24.-The Boston Fruit company steamer Beverly arrived at her dock here at ' o'clock this morning, twenty four hours late, having on board Naval Constructor Richmond P. Hobson.
 While Mr. Hobson was waiting for car riage to take him from the steamer to the railway station, where he was to board train for Washington, he was questioned by a reporter to the prospect of raising the sunken Spanish war vessels off Santiago. He said he was now engaged in the pre- liminary work on the Cristobal Colon, and that it would take at least three weeks more before everything would be ready. The government had appropriated $500 00J for the raising of the vessel, but it will be money well spent, he said, if the venture proves a success, as the ship is worth S4,- 100000.
 The purpose of his visit to this country, MT. Hobson said, was to see the secretary of the navy regarding further work on the warships. He thought the Vizcaya could be saved, but would not affirm it positively. She has settled in the sand, which has formed a thick bed around her so that she is resting in an easy position, but dry dock would have to be built around her
 
 tion of $1 100000 would cover the work of raising the Vizcaya and would enable the government to bring her north and put her in good condition. She cost 8, ,OO0 900. The Almirante Oquendo MT. Hobson says, is a hopeless wreck. The Reina Mercedes, which was sunk in Santiago harbor, is good vessel, and can be raised with but little cost.
 When the work on the Infanta Maria Teresa commenced,' continved MT. Hob- son, "I had fifty American laborers em- ployed, but owing to the foul atmosphere, foul gases and foul water, very few es- capped sickness, and 1 was obliged to fall back on Cuban laborers. These men seem to stand the work very we'll and under proper supervision can accomplish good re- suits.
 There Is a growing sentiment, I find, among naval officers that every one of the sunken Spanish ships should be raised and if found unseaworthy, be kept as relics.
 1.-The Spanish vessels which have been and those that no doubt will be saved and put into commission should retain their names as a memento of the prowess of America"

PROTEST FROM
 THE AMERICANS
In Regard to Sale of So-Ca||ed
 lmmovabIe Property.
SPANISH TROOPS DEPARTING
sues a Proclamation Demandir 2 Cuba for Cubans-Smallpox
 at Gibara and Holguin.

Havana, October A.-This afternoon Senor Girauta, secretary of the Spanish evacua- tion commission, delivered two notes to the United Statets evacuation commission. One gave the number of Spanish troops who left Nuevitas by the steamer Miguel Gallert, the other the number of those who left Gibara by the steamer Montserrat. The total from both ports exceeded 2,000, all of whom were from the Holguin division.
 The French mail steamer Cheribon. char tered by the Spanish Transatlantic com pany to assit in the work of transport ing, sailed this afternoon for Spain with 300 troops and Il officers. The Notre Dame Desalut will sail tomorrow for Gibara, car rying General Luque, who will embark a number of troops of the Holguin division The Cuban general, Jose Martel, has issued a proclamation addressed to the people of Cuba, demanding Cuba for Cubans." The proclamation ends by urging all Cubans to resist the landing of the American troops by force. It is highly infiammatory docu- ment, but finds few to justify it.
 Captain Hart today delivered a note to the Spanish commissioners, reiterating the protest of the United States commissioners in regard to the sale of so-called immov- able property, the United States claiming the right to such property.
 Captain Griscom, who recently returned here from Pinar Del Rio, has surveyed and recommended for selection the site of a camp accommodating 2,O00 men. Captain Griscom says he did not witness the scenes of misery and want in Pinar Del Rio that he has seen here.
 From Gibara and Holguin come reports of fearful epidemic of smallpox. In many cases the dead lie unburied over fifty hours, there being no one to dig the graves. Many victims are buried in the yards of their homes. The whole district is panic- stricken.

Aguinaldo's Rival Arrested

Manila, October 2.-General Pic Del Pillar, who is looked upon as being the foremost rival of Aguinaldo for the leader ship of the Philippine insurgents. has been summoned to Malolos, the insurgent head quarters, and arrested. The charge against him is disregarding Aguinaido's authority and attempting to defy the Americans Aguinaldo has tried to remove several of the insurgents officers who are unfitted for their positions. but he has been com pelled to reinstate them. Aguinaldo is de- sirous of going to Paris for the purpose of appearing before the peace commissioners, but he is prevented from so doing by the jealousies existing between the insurgent leaders.

Riot Narrowly Ayerted

Charlotte, N. C., October 24.-A special to the Observer from Lumberton, N. O., says:
 The expected riot between races at Ash pole Saturday night was averted. A tere- phone from Ashpole stated that a crowd of mutinous negroes who had been around the village all day making threats had en- tered the village armed and the whites ex- pected to be attacked any minute and asked aid to be sent Several men went down from here, and as the negroes seemed to be quieting down the whites dispersed. a few gathering around fire in the center of the street as a guard.
 About o'clock several blacks slipped mn near the crowd and fired into them wound ing three men, none seriously. They then ran and the whites immediately wired to Florence and procured bloodhounds. which were met at Elreed by a special engine. which had them at Ashpole by 10 o'clock. Immediately the dogs struck hot trail and by o'clock four blacks had been caught. eThey were taken to Ashpole and it is said have confessed that they were in the crowd and have implicated several others, some of whom were caught. This morning the sheriff is hunting others. The captured negroes told who burned Stubbs store at Ashpole on Thursday night. The negroes are confined in box car at Ash pole and are well guarded. It Is reported that the posse in pursuit of the other ne- groes have shot one of them. It is in- possible to get telephone connection with Ashpole to confirm the report.
