The Spaniards in Cuba. although on no.
tice to quit, are depending upon President
McKinley's good nature TO get pay for
their ordnance. equipment and such
things. and to be allowed to draw the rev.
enue of the country they have ultimately
forfeited. Incidentally they also desire to
be allowed to starve the Cubans as long
as possible. We do not know what Mr..
Mckinley will do under such circum-
stances. but we are firmly convinced that
under similar ones old Andrew Jackson
would be jumping war dance upon the
armistice and fhe Ireland protocol

RIOT IN BALTIMORE.
A Workman Strikes Woman and
Lypching Is Threatened.

Baltimore, Sept. 12-For several months
DR.. Charles Moore, one of the leading
druggists of this city, has been combating
the right of the Consolidated Railway
Company to a part of the sidewalk in
front of his store on Patterson Park Ave-
nue. and Fayette Street.
The railway people needed part of
Moore's property to lay their tracks, but
refused to pay for the privilege. Then
ensued a war which aroused the entire
eastern section OF the city. and which to-
day eliminated in a serious riot.
Ever since the trouble began DR.. and
Mrs. Moore. with many friends, including
number of women. have been standing
guard at the corner.
AT 3 O'clock this morning the railway
employees took the bull by the horns. They
endeavored to carry Mrs. Moore away,
the crowd interfered and eight of their
men were arrested
The crowd numbered about five hundred
all the forenoon. Toward noon the num-
ber increased. and the crowd became more
| aggressive.
The trouble came to a focus when AS
dated Railway, attempted to have rope
stretched from post to post of DR..
Moore's porch to keep the crowd back.
DR. Moore took an offered knife and
cut the rope. The crowd swarmed in,
shouting ironically at the railroad men.
A large workman took the rope up to
tie it again. Again 1t was cut. He got
another rope and pushed back the crowd
on the pavement which was composed
largely of women
One woman, particularly aggressive,
hung on to the rope. She raised an arm
and struck him in the face. He raised
his arm and struck her blow full on the
side of her face The blow frenzied the
crowd. The police rushed for the man
! The crowd rushed for him.
HE struck a woman, kill him." Were
| the shouts. The mob was almost on him
| before the police could take him away
J and get out onto Fayette Street. He re-
sisted, but was forced away. The crowd
/ cut all ropes and trooped III with threats
of vengeance 1t was openly shouted that
he would be hanged ii they got hold OF
him. The police came back, having dis
I posed of their man and an attempt was
! made TO renew the rope lines.

! back. The policemen pushed and threa /
ened but were overpowered by superior
numbers Cheers for DR.. Moore were

1t is now stated that the charge at
San Juan was in response to the call of
a bugler who had no Instructions to
sound charge. The man was BugIer
Schroeder, of the Sixth Infantry, and he
was complimented for it by Gen Haw-
kins. 1t is probable. however that the
men would have done the work just the
same, for they were in that state of in
tense feeling when nothing could restrain
them. England has gone wild over the
charge of the Lancers in the last fight
with the dervishes, but there was nothing
in it more brave and glorious than in the
splendid run up the heights of San Juan.

PROGRESS OF THE FEVER.
Reports Received From the Infected
Mississippi District.


Surgeon General Sternberg stated to a
Times reporter last night that he had re-
ceived no advices since Saturday from
Gen. Brooke concerning the reported out
break of yellow fever among the troops
at Porto Rico In his last cablegram Cen
Brooke stated that four cases, believed
to be yellow fever had been received in
the army hospitals.
At the request of Surgeon General
Sternberg a careful inspection is being
made by the medical officers connected
with the Porto Rico army. A brief re-
port from Gen. Brooke by cable may be
received at the War Department today.
Unofficial reports state that Charles
Minor, a private in the Nineteenth Regu-
lar Infantry, died from yellow fever in
one of the hospitals at Ponce An au-
topsy was performed on Minors body
Saturday and the cause of his death
given officially as yellow fever.
A telegram was received yesterday by
Surgeon General Wyman, of the Marine
Hospital Service, from Secretary Hunter.
of the Mississippi board of health. 1t
read:
"One case Of yellow fever in Jackson.

tary Commissions to consider are
simpler. and it is not probable that
their consideration win be complicated
by any private instructions inimical to
the wishes or interests of the Ameri-
can people.
1t is, therefore, reasonable to expect
that the distinguished army and navy
officers who are charged with the duty
of placing the Spanish monarchy on
the toboggan which is TO ride it out of
the Western Hemisphere will display
the nerve and propulsive force neces-
sary to bring the affair to an end with
in something like reasonable time. In
thus accomplishing their mission with
energy and dispatch they will deserve
the thanks of a country at present
very much irritated by indications of
incompetency. jobbery, and dishonesty
in many directions.
The Spaniards must go, and if they
are allowed to keep their skins in go
ing, it is more than they deserve. They
are not entitled to the slightest consid-
Grafton, especially in view of the fact
that they are still carrying out Wey-
ler's hellish system of murder by star
walton in Matanzas and other places in
Cuba. That is an additional reason
why they should have short shrift.
Nothing could be much more fragrant
ly impudent than the course of Blanco
in maintaining during the armistice
the very policy which forced us into
war. Due consideration should be ac-
corded that point, when the rascally
Spaniards offer the first obstacle to
their immediate retirement from the
territories they have cursed and blis-
tered with their fiendish barbarism.

Another Spanish Affront.

If we may credit a report said to
have been received at Madrid from
Iloilo, in the Philippine Islands,
Spanish gunboat squadron has fired
upon and sunk IAN insurgent fiotilla
loyal 10 SPAIN by which, of course, is
meant provinces of the archipelago
now under the American flag, but still
claimed by the Spanish government.
The report may be exaggerated or
untrue. but if it should prove to be
correct, an issue is presented that
President Mckinley should not hesi-
tate for a moment to meet. Ii TIE
Spanish navy has dared 10 fire upon
Filipino natives. OF anyone else, any
where in the Philippines, then the
armistice is a delusion and snare
and should be instantly denounced and
termina ted. Such a piece of cold
blooded impudence on the part of Spain
cannot be tolerated for an hour, and
will not be unlsss, to be sure, the
theory Of the Administration is that
the islands still form Spanish pos
session, and that we are merely maj l.
taining our position IN them until a
convenient excuse can be constructed
at Paris for their surrender to their
former sovereign.
All the indications of the time seem
to compel the conclusion that the
Spanish enemy will require some fur
ther punishment before arriving at
state OF mind and conduct conducive
TO a peace which would satisfy .imeri-
can ideas of acceptability Ugly sus-
picions will be excited if the story of
this noilo outrage should be ,orrobo-
rated, and nothing done about it oy
