all classes, workingmen and business men
and professional men, have everywhere
given to the President expressions of deep
est sympathy and coincidence to the family
in their sad affiiction. Among the most
frequent and most sympathetic callers at

soldiers of the army sent to Cuba. several
hundred of whom are here on furlough.

President was driven to the station and i'm
mediately entered the car, where he smoked
a cigar and visited with several friends who

INFECTED FRUIT STEAMER.
Fatal Case of yellow Fever ON a Yes
sci at Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10.--A suspicious
death which occurred to-day on board the
Norwegian steamer Banan at Reedy island,
in the Delaware bay, has been diagnosed
by the quarantine station as yellow fever.
The Banan is a fruit steamer and plies be-
tween Philadelphia and Port Antonio. The
passenger took sick two days ago and grew
rapidly worse death resulting to-day few
minutes after the Banan reached Reedy
island. After the diagnosis by the quaran-
tine physician the steamer was ordered to
return at once to the United States quaran-
tine at the Delaware breakwater and there
bury the body. The vessel will then return
to the Reedy island quarantine station and
undergo a thorough disinfection. 1t is not
known how long the vessel will be detained
at Reedy island or what disposition will be
made of the cargo of fruit.

If MORO cared to fire upon the American
flag General Blanco would be held respon-
sible.
Senior Montero asked for time for consid-
Grafton. which was not granted. He then
said he would send clearance papers. Cap
tain Eaton stood firm, saying he must
either have remission of the fine and the
clearance papers at once or the ReSolute
would take the Alfredo into tow. Senior
Montero then ordered the clearance pa
pers drawn. and the incident ended with
out burning powder.
When General Clous presented to Colonel
Girauta a note from the American commits
sion announcing a previous demand for the
evacuation of Cuba by December. Colonel
Girauta said the Spanish government could
not and would not submit. He said it was
outrageous and unjust. General Blanco was
equally disturbed in spirit and forthwith
cabled Madrid for instructions.
In this connection 1t is worth noting that
two weeks ago Admiral Sampson seriously
contemplated demanding possession of Nor
70 and the fortress at La Punta. He wanted
to hold these to make impossible the de-
struction of any American war vessel that
might come into the harbor Having Sc
cured these two strongholds Admiral Samp-
son intended urging upon the President the
necessity of sending several war vessels
here In all of this he was fully supported
by General Butler, though General Wade
did not look upon it with full favor. How
ever Admiral Sampson fell i'll at critical
moment and the matter was dropped after
a recommendation had been sent to Pres
ident Mckinley that war vessels be sent
here Members of the commission expect
to see several representatives of the Amer
lean navy here before the end of the month.

ANOTHER TRUST PROPOSED.
All Furniture Factories in the North
west May Comb

OSHKOSH, Wis, Oct. 10.-The consolida-
ton of all the furniture factories in the
Northwest is contemplated and movement
now on foot with that end in view seems
likely to be successful. This gigantic scheme
has for some time been projected and there
has been considerable correspondence on the
subject by the various firms interested. OF
late the plan has taken more than tangible
form, and a committee has been in confer
ence with the large manufacturers to ascer-
tain their views. This committee had a
meeting to-day with local manufacturers,
and details were discussed. For years past
there has been very small margin of profit
in the Notwithstanding industry. The
present scheme is to place the companies
under one general head, by which the out
put can be controlled. territory fairly dis
tributed and expenses of management de-
creased. The expense of placing goods on
the market is a large factor in their cost
and one object of the consolidat ton is to
reduce this to minimum, so goods selling
at present rates. which are very low can
bring to the manufacturers a larger profit

Much Good Accomplished by Cleans
ing Santiago of Filth.


Correspondence of the Associated Press
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Sept 2S.-The
health of the United States troops now in
the province of santiagol has considerably
improved, not more than 10 per cent. now
being on the sick list Most of the cases
of indisposition are merely light malarial
fevers Yellow fever has been practically
stamped out of the city by the systematic
cleaning process put into operation. For
several weeks Major Barbour, who is at
the head of the STRENGTHENING department.
has had six hundred men engaged in carting
away the filth of generations, which is
burned at one or the other of the crema-
tories General Wood has shown wonderful
executive ability.
General Lawton is we'll satisfied with the
soldierly qualities displayed by his men
since they have been here, and all reports
from other places in the province as to the
behavior of the American troops are equally
satisfactory. There has been very little
drunkenness which, when one remembers
that, as a soldier tersely puts it, drink is
cheap and you are always thirsty is really
remarkable.
General Wood advises investors not to
come to Cuba if they intend their invest
ments to take the form of land purchases,
as the records and archives have been left
in a shocking state by the Spanish author
tiles. A man with a little capital would do
well here with a steam laundry, an Amer
lean bakery or small store with good
groceries. Such enterprises could be made
to pay from the very outset. Next month,
October, is the last of the rainy season
here With November comes fine weather,
with cool winds and good health.
The death rate in Santiago has decreased
skiold from August, though as a rule the
end of September shows heavy mortality.
The troops now in the province are the
following: Second United States Volunteer
Infantry. Col. D. N. Hood. AT Songo; Third
United States Volunteer Infantry, Col. p.
H. Ray, Companies B. c, d, E, K and L, at
Guantanamo Companies A and M at Sa-
qua de Tanamo, Companies G and | at
Baracoa and Company H at Jamaica; Fifth
United States Infantry, Lieutenant Colonel
Freeman, stationed at Santiago; Fifth
United States Volunteer Infantry. Colonel
Sargent. Company K at Moro Castle ana
the remainder of the regiment at Santiago:
Eighth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, Colonel
Marshall (colOred), Companies r and + at
Palma Sariano and the others at San Luis;
Ninth United States Volunteer Infantry,
Col. J. G. Crane (colored), at San Luis
Twenty-third Kansas Volunteer Infantry.
Colonel Beck (colored). at San Luis, and
Third United States Volunteer Signal Corps,
Lieut.. William M. Garvin, jr., commanding,
at Santiago.

MESSAGE TO SAVAGES
GEN. BACON WARNS INDIANS THEY
MUST SURRENDER.
Runners Disr atched to Notify Bear
Islanders They Must Come In or
Take the Consequences.

WALKER, Mimi, Oct 10.-An Indian
council was held at the agency this after
noon and was attended by Falmouth and
representative delegations. General Bacon
and Inspector Tinker told the Bear island
ers that # they would give up the men for
whom warrants have been issued and come
in themselves they could go home. If they
resisted the government would not rest till
the recalcitrants had been captured, and
that the Bear islanders would not then be
permitted to occupy the islands again. This
message will reach the hostiles by runners
tonight. General Bacon's terms were re-
ceived by the chiefs with signs of evident
pleasure, and they all signified their APP
prevail of them. 1t is believed the Pillagers
will accept them.
Rev. Charles Wright, Episcopal minister
at the agency, left here to-day to attend the
funeral of his father Chief White Cloud.
who died at White Earth agency last week,
aged sixty-nine. Mr.. Wright says he prefers
not to assume the many responsibilities of
the head chieftainship, but If 1t would be
'fof, the sbest interests of the whole
Of the NChippewas, and if the re-
quest was unanimous, he might
agree. Mr.. Wright predicts still further
trouble when the soldiers go over to the
mainland. He believes that delegation OF
peaceable Indians could secure the arrest of
the hostiles, but they will never give in to
the Soldiers, and just as soon as the soldiers
come in sight they will be fired upon.
Indian Commissioner Jones arrived here
this evening. When asked what his course
would be, he said he could not tell what he
would do till he had a chance to consult
with General Bacon and Marshal C'Connor.

CRAZY CHICAGO GRIPMAN.
Runs Car Through Crowded Streets
and Obeys Signals Mechanically.

CHICAGO, Oct. 10-John b. lessen, a
gripman on the South State-street cable
line, became suddenly insane, and while in
that condition his train. loaded with passen-
gers. ran from Twenty-second to Madison
street without accident When the train
was ready to make its return trip Jessen's
reason returned, and, realizing his condition
and fearing a return of the mania, perhaps
with disastrous results, he called to po-
liceman and asked to be cared fer.
When taken to the police station lessen
was raving again. but became-quiet after a
time. He has no recollection of bringing
his car from Twenty-second street up
through the crowded business thorough
fares, and his responses to the conductor S
signals were entirely mechanical. Several
days ago lessen was struck on the head by
the accidental releasing of lever ut the
car barns and severely injured. This is sup
posed to be the cause of his insanity.

ice, and acting Secretary of the Treasury

cided that the government could not under

sPANIARDs DEFIED.
ResOlutc's Captain Threatened to Tow
a Yacht Out of Havana HarbOr.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10-The Herald's Ha-
vana correspondent telegraphing by way
of Key West, says: 1.-THE Spanish censor
has received instructions from General
Blanco to be exceedingly strict during the
crisis brought suddenly about by the unex-
pected show of determination by the Amer
lean government in the demand for the i'm
mediate evacuation Of Cuba. All dispatches
were vigorously censored last night, and
one was stricken out completely. An appeal
was taken, but the censor was upheld in re-
fusing to allow anything to be said about
an incident which ended when Captain
Eaton of the Resoute defied General
Blanco and Admiral Montero to fire upon
the American flag.
The matter is now several days old. but
was only heard of when the Resolute re-
turned yesterday The trouble arose over
the steam yacht Alfredo which brought
Benjamin r Guerra, treasurer of the Gu
ban Junto, from New York to Havana. The
Alfredo is alleged 10 have been engaged in
several tilibustering expeditions previous to
the declaration of war and is one of those
vessels hateful to the sight of loyal Span-
iards For this reason the Alfredo had no
sooner poked its nose between MORO and
La Punta before it was boarded by officials
who proceeded to find grounds for detain-
ing the vessel and assessing a fine of $50
The Alfredo had teen detained nine days
when it was learned that she was being
held on charge of having entered the har-
Dor with improper papers. An appeal was
made to Captain Eaton, who was advised
by Admiral Sampson that, being in com
mand of the only American war vessel in
the port, he had much the same power as a
consul. whereupon Captain Eaton wrote to
General Blanco complaining of the Illegal
detention of the Alfredo. General Blanco
referred the matter TO Senior Montero, sec
rotary of the treasury of the Autonomist
Cabinet. upon whom Captain Eaton called
Senior Montero. with many shrugs, said the
would have 10 suffer.
Captain Eaton promptly replied that the
Alfredo was private yacht. her papers
were correct and her detention an outrage
Moreover. he declared. unless clearance pa
pers We're granted at once. he would go i'm
mediately aboard the Resolute. which
would tow the Alfredo out of the harbor.

GERONIMO's LAMENT.
Indians Crowded to the Wall, and Pill
layers Fools to Fight.

OMAHA. Neb, Oct. 1O-"The Minnesota
Indians will see that they have made
great mistake in going on the war path"
says Gerinomo, the famous Apache chief,
who is one of the Indians now in camp
at the Indian congress. Il have never been
in Minnesota, but hear that up there and
for hundreds of miles beyond the white men
are as many as the blades of grass. Ii
that is SO what can a few poor Indians
do in a fight? They are making great
mistake and are fools. For years / fought
the white men, thinking that with my few
braves / could kill them all and that we
would again have the land that our great
Father gave us and which he covered with
game l thought that the Great Spirit would
be with US and that after we had killed
the white men, the buffalo, deer and
telope would come back. After ] fought
and lost and after / travelled over the
country in which the white man lives and
saw his cities and the work that he had
done my heart was ready to burst. ] knew
that the race of the Indians was rum
Asked what he thought would eventually
become of the Indian, Geronimo hesitated
a moment and then, pointing to the west
time and then it goes down, sinking out of
sight and is lost. So ii will be with the
1nQldn. Wnen L was q boy my OLD rather
told me that the Indians were as many as
the leaves on the trees and that way off
in the North they mad many horses and
furs. / never saw them, but l know that
if they were there then they have gone now
and the white man has taken all they had.
1t will be only few years more until the
Indians will be heard of no more except
in the books that the white man has writ
ten. They are not the people that the
Great Father loves. for if they Were. He
would protect them. They have tried to
please Him. but they do not know how.
Schools are good things for Indians. but
IL takes many years to change the nature
of the Indian. IL an Indian boy goes to
school and learns to be like a white boy,
he comes back TO the agency and there is
nothing for him to do but put on a blanket
and be like an Indian again. This is where
the government Is TO blame. When II takes
our children away and educates them ii
should give them something to do: not turn
them loose TO run wild upon the agency
Until that time comes educating the In
dian is throwing money away. What can an
educated Indian do out in the sage brush
and cactus2 There will be no more big In
dian wars. The Indians fighting DAYS are
