EVACUATION MUST
 NOT BE DELAYED
Demand Made on Commission
 CTS to Hurry Matters.
M'KINLEY FIXES THE LIMIT
All Spanish Troops Must Have Departed From the Island of Cuba by De- cember 31st-Remains of
 Christopher Columbus.

Washington, September 24.-The officials here are watching with interest the pro- ceedings being made by the military con- mission at Havana in securing the evacua- tion of the island of Cuba. The commis- sion has been very slow in making reports to the war department, but from the latest received it appears that the body would like to have more definite instructions as to procedure. It seems that the Spanish have said they could not begin the evacuation until the first of November and that it could not be completed before the 18th of Feb ruary next.
 In view of the alarming sate of the Gu bans who are suffering from hunger and the inability in the present uncertain con- ditions for obtaining work the president de- cided that he could not assent to the con- caused the commission to be instructed to demand that the evacuation by the Span- iards begin not later than Ocober 15 and that 1t be completed by December 31 next. Wnat the result or tnlS oeInaHu VIII De IS not yet known, but it is said that the ad- ministration is determined to tolerate no dilatory tactics on the part of the Spanish forces in leaving the island.
 Notice has also been taken of the ex- pressed purpos of the Spanish captain gen. eral to remove from the island the remains of Christopher Columbus with part of the not permanent fixture then it is hard to decide what is and 1t is possible that att tention will be called to the infraction of the terms of the protocol, although this must be done with haste in order to suc- ceed in its object as the removal Is said to be fixed for next Tuesday.

There are hundreds of these and they should have been utilized, just as the retired officers of the navy were A special bill is not necessary to accept the services or to call upon them in the naval branch of the government. There can be little criticism of the president or of his admnlstration the upper branch of con- gfess because seVen-eghths of the members have had a paddock put on their lips by good appointments to their sons and other members of their families.
 The president reviews the returning he- roes from the portico of the White House Ordinarily all reviews are held from a plat form raised on Pennsylvania avenue in front of the White House. The president tnlnks It more of a compliment to have the returning veterans march through the Whlte House grounds and under the por- tlco. The men coming home are. having nothing to say against the president. He Is singularly popular with them He has escaped their criticism as he has that of the pol1tican.

opinions regarding the role which Presid mt Faure is playing confirming previous state ments on the same subject. He says that General Zurlinden enjoys the full coni- dence of the French president, who is in love with military glamour. President Faure, he adds, has but to say the word and have France at his feet and he further says If he does not say this word, but de- clares himself in favor of a revision of the Dreyfus case, he will have the whole French mob in hue and cry against him and he will have to go. But if in order to oppose revision he resigns the presidency the national assembly, or congress for the election of presidents, will meet at Yer sailleS within twenty-four hours and M. Faure will be reelected by a ,\ hing ma Jority of those who are hostile - a revis- ion He will then form ministry with M. Barthou, as premier, and with an am- bilious, strong general at the head of the war office then he will be able to do what he likes with France.
 The war cloud lowering over Chill and Argentina is being closely watched and has caused uneaSineSS here. The idea of an appeal to arms is vigorously deprecated, especially as the Spectator pointed out, the investors will have to contribute to pay the piper. The Daily Mail urges that Great Britain, America, Germany and Italy make strong representations to Argentina and Chili against war, and the St. James Gazette suggests that the United States signify its willingness to bring pressure on the two countries by declaring it's inten- tion of enforcing the arbitrators award bys,war if necessary.

Huidekoper Has Not Resigned

Washingon, September A.-The formal or ders to Lieutenant Colonel Huidekoper, who was chief surgeon at Camp Thomas, were issued at the war department today. They show merely that the officer has been de- tached from duty in Porto Rico, and been ordered to Washington, making no men tion of his resignation. It seems prob able that if the surgeon contemplates any action of that kind he will now defer it until the conclusion of the investigation into the conduct of the medical depart ment during the war. -z,

NO NEW FOCUS
 OF INFECTION Dr. PurnoH traces the Case of Yellow Fever to KiIgore. THE TOTAL DEPOPULATION Of the Town of Jackson Was Advised by Proclamation, and Thousands Are Leaving-Cordon of
 Guards Southward.
THE TOTAL DEPOPULATION

Jackson, Miss, September 24.-Dr. Pur- nell, state health officer, has succeeded in tracing the case of yellow fever this morn weeks ago, which contradicts the theory of a new focus of infection. The negro cook employed in the Wright family, where the present new case is located, was taken sick last week and investigate conclusively proves that she had mild case of yellow fever contracted at her home in West Jack only d short distance from the house where Kilgore died. Her illness was not reported to the board of health and she soon recovered and resumed her work. The boy undoubtedly contracted the disease from the negress who remain at the Wright house during her illness. pr. Purnell's proc lamation advising a total depopulation of the town has had the effec of causing a large number to flee northward.
 Two special coaches of the Illinois Gen. tral northbound train and a special coach on the Alabama and Vicksburg road were well filled with refugees this afternoon. At o'clock tomorrow morning the entire city will be surrounded by a cordon of guards, no persons allowed to go into the country All WHO ueSlre tO ledVe town VIII De com pelled to go north The cordon will be in the shape of semi-circle ten miles in length.
 Sunday morning the board of health will commence a house to house inspection of the northwestern portion of the city, em- bracing all the buildings in the northwest ern portion of the city, embracing all the buildings in the central infected district There is some fear of general spread in this part of town, but an epidemic is not expected. Governor McLaurin has moved his office from the state house to the insane asylum two miles from the city. Several of the state offices closed. A case of sus- picious illness was reported to the board this morning at Grace, a little station on the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley road, in the northeastern portion of Ics,quena county. Secretary Hunter ordered Dr. Hall, fever expert and health officer of vestigate. Dr. Hall pronounced 1t malarial fever of the remittent type The situation at Oxford looks somewhat brighter. Dr. Haralson sends the following report to- night:
 "One new case, 12 cases and three deaths to date. Six cases under treatment, one dangerously ill.'
 The disease has practically run its course at Taylor's and Orwood. No new cases are reported from either place. Dr. Cant wires that three patients in Taylor's are cri;ical- ly i'll. A recapitulation of the reports on the board of health register shows a total of 1A cases throughout the state. Fifteen deaths have occurred.
