rival of the peace commissioners, writes:
THE New World has invaded the Old
World, and in Paris to-day at the Hotel
Continental is the head officials of the

no doubt, but the invaders are bent, if
not on conquest and annexation, at least
upon appropriations and an extension of
their borders.
The struggle now going on between the
French authorities and the exposition
commissioners brings forcibly home to the
European mind the great question of the
future. II is a miniature reproduction of
conflict of the forces, which looms even
more gigantic before the eyes of mankind.

Paris, Sept. 27-Whle the reception ac-

sioners here is all that could be desired,
and while the French foreign office has
taken great pains 10 treat the American
and Spanish commissioners in precisely
the same manner, it must be admitted
that the general atmosphere in Paris, es-

not incline toward America.
1t is the general impression here that
the American commissioners have instruc-

farce said a prominent diplomat,
The commission. for the first time since
its appointment, met as a body to-day for
two hours in the drawing room of the

which the former Empress at one time
used, Will probably be acquired by the
commissioners. They will be used for

The Americans enjoyed sunny weather
during their first day in Paris. and they
are all ia good health and spirits.
The French government is arranging to
provide at the Alon, where the joint ses-
sions of the commissioners will be held, an
elaborate buffet daily for the use of all
the commissioners.

day were devoted to internal affairs of the

Jackson. Miss, Sept 27.-The state board
of health has posted bulletin aunounc-
ing that five new cases of yellow fever
have appeared in the northwestern por-
ton of the city, in the vicinity of the sec
ton house where the first case was dis
covered, three weeks ago. The five pa
tients are all negroes.
The neighborhood is populated almost
exclusively by colored people, and DR..
Purnell, the state health officer in charge,
announces that there has been sickness
of few days duration in many of the
houses.
1t is presumed that a large percentage
of the recent cases of sickness in this To-
ca!ity was yellow fever of a very mild
type, and the infection. being among the
negroes, was scarcely discernible. A cor
don has been established~around the dis
trict, and a second house-to-house inspec-
ton will be commenced tomorrow. The
neighborhood is very thickly settled, very
few negroes having left town, but as the
upper residence district of the city is al
most wholly depopulated, the board of
health does not expect a general epidemic.
In addition to the second inspection all
under strict surveillance and examined
houses in the infected district Will be kept
unuer, strict Surveillance and examined
daily.
The leading colored men of the town
have organized an association for the re-
lief of the suffering.
The Howard Association viii also start
a subscription list the work being under
the direction of Secretary of State Powers
and Bishop Charles B. Galloway.
II the Gordon is maintained for any great
length of time, there win be considerable
suffering among the negroes as many are
in destitute circumstances. The board of
health relies solely on the Gordon of twenty
men to check further spread and prevent a
general epidemic.
No official informa ton has been received
in jackson in regard to the new cases of
yellow fever reported near Edwards and
at Smith Station.
DIR. HARRISON sends the following report
from Oxford: mo new cases; one death.
Three cases under treatment and four
deaths TO date. About thirty people went
into camp to-day.
The board of health has decided to
raise the quarantine against Galveston on
the assurance of State Health Officer
Blunt that there is no yellow fever in
Texas.

HAVANA, Dec. 23-At the toint
meeting of the United States and Span
| ish military commissioners TODAY the
programme was finally agreed upon for
| the exchange of flags on Jan. at noon.
Just before noon the American war
vessels win fire a salute of twenty-one
guns in honor of the Spanish flag
Promptly at II o'clock the Spanish
flags on the various public buildings
| will be lowered and Immediately after
the Stars and Stripes will be hoisted
over Ell Morro, and the public build
ings of the city, while the Spanish ar
tillerists Of Cabanas fortress will salute
the American flag with twenty-one
guns, Spanish warships in the harbor
participating in the salute. At the
same hour the Spanish troops, if any
then remain in the city, will be parad-
ed In barracks and will render proper
salutes to the American forces passing.
Just before noon the American and
Spanish commissioners, Gen. Jiminez
Castellanos, the Spanish captain gem
eral, and the American ranking officer
in Cuba, Maj. Gen. John r. Brooke, If
he arrives in time, and otherwise, Nal
Gen. Lee, will assemble at the palace.
The Spanish commissioners will then
surrender the government to the Unit
ed States commissioners, who will i'm
mediately transfer 1t to the American
general commanding. After this the
various American functionaries will re-
main awhile to receive those who may
wish to pay their respects to the in
coming administration.
1t was agreed at the joint meeting
that the Spanish soldiers remaining in
Cuba after Jan. should be considered
as foreign troops in a friendly coun-
try, and to be accorded the privileges
usually granted under international
law. The quarters, buildings and
grounds occupied by them are to be
covered by the immunities Of eX-ter-
ritoriality and further negotiations will
be entered into regarding the preven-
ton of public disorder or disturbances
consequent on their presence. Matanzas
and Cienfuegos will doubtless be tho
only places where Spanish troops will
remain after Jan. I, and Clenfuegos will
be evacuated last.

remain under the safeguard of the
American flag. the Spanish authorities
providing medicines. attendance and
food, repatriating them on recovery.

companied by their aides, were received
at the palace today With full military
honors. The Spanish trumpeters
blew a blare and the police guards
saluted, The same ceremonies marked
the retirement of the American officers
The Eighth and Tenth regular in
fantry regiments occupied the forts at
EI Vedado today, but there are no
American flags in sight.
