WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Colonel Will
liams took with him to Havana two clerks
who had served with him at JeffersonviHe
and they were also stricken down with the
yellow fever about the same time he was.
Word was received at the office of the quar-
termaster general this afternoon that one
of them-Stewart by name-died this morn
ing shortly after Colonel Williams breathed
his last. AS nothing was said as to the con-
dition of the other clerk, whose name is
Colwell, it is assumed that he is still alive
The quartermaster's department is consider
ably embarrassed by the mortality in its
principal depot in Havana ai4tF. tFansporta-
ton business there will be badly hampered
unless immediate relief is afforded AL
though the department. is loath to send Off
GERS and men to that fever-stricken district
it is realized that it must be done in spite
of the risks, in execution of the plans of the
government to take military possession of
the entire Island of Cuba on or before the
1st of January In view of the important
work to be done in the matter of transport
ing and quartering the United States troops
on the island and the establishment of milf
tary headquarters in Havana it will be nee
essary to fill the vacancies in the quarter
masters depot caused by the death of Col
ing the detail, care will be taken to select
officers who are immune to the tropical
fevers if such can be found. 1t may be neces-
sary to call for volunteers.
The Cabinet to-day discussed the sanitary
conditions at Havana. rhe subject came up
when a dispatch was read announcing the
deaths of Messrs. Williams and Stewart. The
fever situation at Havana is conceded to be
very serious and the administration is cog
infant of the necessity of a thorough sani-
tary overhauling of the city before its occu-
patton by our troops is safe. Elsewhere
than Havana there is also need for assist
ance by this government along these lines
and it is asserted chartered steamer of
the government win soon be dispatched TO
the island laden with supplies, including
food. The report made on the discouraging
conditions at Havana was of a general
nature, but it showed an immense amount
of work i'm cleaning up the city will be nee
essary.
Lieut. Col. Charles w. Williams was the
youngest officer in his grade, being only
about forty-five years of age and was re-
garded as certain of becoming quartermas-
ter general in the course of a few years.
He was native of Kentucky, and was ap-
pointed to the Military Academy from that
State. He was graduated July ], 1871, and,
after four years service as second lieuten-
ant in the Eighteenth Infantry, was ap-
pointed to the quartermaster' department,
with the rank of captain. In Havana he
held the rank of colonel Mrs. Williams
and family are now in Washington. She
is a daughter Of Gen. John B. Gordon. OF
Georgia.

quartermaster who has been suffering from
fever for some time past. died at 9 O'Clock
this morning. F. T. Stewart, the clerk at
taehed to the quartermasters department,
who was also prostrated with fever for sew

ing. The condition of j. b. Caldwell, the
third of the American party who has been
suffering from fever, is unchanged. The
body of Mr.. Williams viii be embalmed and
carried directly on board the Ward line

remains of Mr.. Stewart will be buried here
this afternoon
The deaths have caused profound scnsa-
tion. 1t is a strange coincidence that the
only cases of yellow fever among foreigners
here lately have been those of the members
of the American commissions and staffs.

Military Precautions.
HAVANA, Nov. 11.-Following the exam
pie of the Third company part of the First
and Fourth companies Of the Orden Publico
(police) have demanded their pay, now sew
eral months overdue. AS result of this
attitude on the part of the police regular
Spanish troops were quartered in the streets
and Gen. Arolas. at the head Of two bat
talions. patrol!ed the main thoroughfares.
AS an extra precaution, in order to prevent
a possible demonstration by the mounted
division of the Orden Publico, General
Arolas stationed two field pieces in front OF
their barracks this morning. This after
noon the entire force accepted a peaceful
solution of the difficulty and laid down their
arms The Orden Publico will be disarmed
and dissolved Immediately.
At the palace it is asserted that the meas
ures adopted by the military governor Gen.
Arolas. are merely evidence of his zeal to
guarantee absolute order and quiet in the
city" the attitude of the Orden Publico be-
Ing described as simply in the nature Of a
protest in no wise affecting the order and
quiet Of the city
The steamer Alava. which left yesterday
for Nuevitas. carried $4,000 to pay troops
about to embark at that point for Spain.
The government has also ordered the pay
ment of $4,000 each to seventeen battalions

SIOUX FALLS S. D., Nov. 1.-THE elec-

evening, when official returns were received
from several counties which showed big
changes from the estimates in favor of Lee.
Chairman Kidd, of the PopuIist committee
claims Lees election by 500, and Chairman
Herred of the Republican committee, con-
cedes Lees election by about 200. The Leg

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. n-Election re-
turns to-day and this evening served to
remove all doubt of the election of the
fusion state ticket with the possible ex-
ception of superintendent of public instruc-
ton, by average pluralities of $500. Repub-
icans concede it. The same figures make it
certain that the Republicans have the Leg
islature on joint ballot and probably both
houses. The Senate stands: Republicans, 90;
Fusionists, II; in doubt, 1. The House: Re-
publicans, As; Fusionists. As; in doubt, s..
Fusionist Statehouse officials admit the loss
of the Legislature, but the campaign man
ayers have not yet formally conceded it,
The contest in many districts was exceed
ingly close, two members winning by a
single vote. In Richardson county the sum-
moning of district Judge and manda-
mus suit was necessary to compel precinct
judges of election to sign certificates of a
House member who had won by three votes.

DEPENDS ON SOLDIER VOTE.
Fate of Several Candidates for County
Offices in Kansas Uncertain.

Offices in Kansas Uncertain.
TOPEKA, Kan. Nov. lin a great many
counties of this State it will require the Off
cial count and the soldier vote to decide the
result on some of the county officers. For
instance. in Leavenworth county, +. r..
Dawes received majority of one for MEM
ber of the Legislature. In Franklin county,
Peter Kaiser, Rep, candidate for probate
judge, received a majority of three. Miss
Mabel Marlin, the Populist candidate for
county superintendent in Saline county, re-
ceived majority of four. All of these coun-
ties have company or part of a company
with the Twentieth Kansas Regiment, now
on the Pacific ocean, and the vote of these
soldiers may make considerable change
when received. There are numerous in
stances in other counties where the result
hangs on few votes in either the Twen-
tieth or Twenty-third regiments.

is notable that he belongs to that class
