NORFOLK, Va, Aug. 2.-Reports from
Phoebus stated that six cases of yellow
fever had been found and that there had
been two deaths among the negro popu-
lation of Phoebus, adjoining the home.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-"Three new
cases of yellow fever III the Soldiers
home at Hampton and one death" was
the official report received by Surgeon
General Wyman from DIR. Wasdin, the
yellow fever expert on duty at the in
stitution. Added to DR.. Wasdin's fig
ures, sent to DR.. Wyman the dly be-
fore, this made 40 cases in all which
had occurred at the home, of which
eight had proved fatal. Surgeon White
telegraphed DR.. Wyman that in his
opinion there was little doubt that there
had been some fever infection in the
neighboring village Of Phoebus, but
the surgeon general said that this dis
patch had not been followed by any evil
dence of a positive case at that place.
Should the fever develop there, how.
ever, no surprise would be felt, in view
of the proximity of the place to the Sol
diers' home and the mixing of the in
mates of the institution with the people
of Phoebus.
The opinion was expressed that the
situation continued encouraging mas
much as the disease had been kept
within its original bounds. None of the
nearby towns other than Phoebus had
reported the appearance Of infection or
suspicious cases. The people for miles
around the home were very much
alarmed, but quiet. No restrictions had
been placed on the departure of the sew
eral hundred visitors at Old Point Com
fort, but DIR. Pettus will exercise careful
supervision of those who may leave, so
as to avoid danger of their communicat.
ing the disease. This will apply also to
the soldiers stationed on the government
reservation there, most of whom have
been ordered to proceed to Battery
Point, Del.

A LONG DISTANCE FIGHTER,
B1Rnco Thought Santiago should Not Have
Been Surrendered-Pareja and
Toral on Trial.

MADRID, Aug. 2.--The second session
of the courtmartial of Generals Toral
and Pareja, charged with surrendering
Santiago de Cuba to the Americans
without having exhausted all means of
defense, took place and General Pareja,
in his defense, said the garrison of the
city of Santiago de Cuba lacked food,
many of the soldiers having died of
hunger. In addition, the hospitals
lacked medicines. The general read
several kilograms exchanged between
the authorities at Washington and Ma
jor General Shafter, the latter showing
himself confident of forcing the sur.
render Of Santiago de Cuba.
General Toral made a similar defense.
He read a telegram sent him by Captain
General Blanco, who, after consulting
with the authorities at Madrid, ap.
proved of the capltulation.
Another Spanish officer testified that
when he entered Santiago ne found three
quarters of the troops sick.
General Rubi gave testimony to the
effect that further resistance would
have been equivalent to the death OF
the remainder of the troops.
Lieutenant General Pando testified as
to his regretting that the recommenda.
tions made by him before leaving San.
tiago had not been acted on, as Santiago
then had sufficient ammuaition, except
for the artillery. He disapproved the
decisions of the generals at Havana,
who, he asserted, to succeed should
have reinforced Santiago.
General Blanco said he had never ad.
vised the capitulation of Santiago, but
favored a strong resistance. The gov
ernment, he declared, had accepted the
terms of the United States without dis.
cussion and when he telegraphed to
General Toral it was too late. San.
tiago, he added, had far from an insult.

FOUR WERE ITALIAN CITIZENS.
Belief of Italian Officials, Though Lynch

Belief of Italian Oficials, Though Lynch
ings Investigation Was Not Finished.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Several off.
cial reports received here showed that
the Italian officials on the scene of the
Louisiana lynchlngs believed that four
out Of the five men lynChed were Ital-
ian citizens in the fullest sense. The
reports were not final. Marquis Ro.
mano of the Italian embassy started to
Louisiana as consul to New Orleans
owing to the absence of the consul on
leave, and in that capacity he will go to
Tellulah and make careful investiga-
ton.
The Italian authorities also took note
of the statement attributed to DIR.
Hodges, whose assault led up to the
lynching. This states that after the as
sault he walked away, indicating that
the otfense was not of a character to
warrant the lynching of five persons.

startling spectacle OF the greatest re-
public on earth using It's armies and It's
navies, with no constitutional authori-
ty whatever, and against all the pat
riotic impulses of the American people
to crush by force OF arms the only re.
public in the Orient and the only re-
public that was ever attempted in Asia.
We raised a great army Of volunteers
under unanimous resolution in con.
gress for free Cuba; IL was the spontan-
eous impulse of a great people in hearty
sympathy with another people strug-
Cling for free government. Now we
are using the army to crush another
people 10000 miles away struggling
for the same kind of freedom and i'm
that animated the Cuban patriots.
Since civilization began no such spec
tacle has ever been presented to shock
world. II the American people approve

will believe that we are at the end Of

What went to say to Mayor Jones
was this: That in the presence of the
awful crisis that confronts US now, when
the Declaration of Independence is
made political issue, that these minor
economic questions should not be made
the leading issues OF the campaign. 1
am quoted as saying to some newspa-
per that men of the type of Mayor
Jones are cranks, full OF the egotisms
| said to Mayor Jones that l had be-
nnN kA lNAfr I'D
crank myself, and that after 25 years.
experience as an advocate of the inter-
ests OF the industrial classes in season
and out OF season, have learned to be
more conservative, and as all these re-
forms must be accomplished by legis-
lation, we must formulate platforms
and policies that will appeal to the
average intelligence of the average
voter"
'Did Jones say definitely that he
would be candidate?"
''He did not say that; neither did l
ask him the question. went to see
Mayor Jones because some of my
friends thought that If he could be
made to see what the result OF his can
didacy would be upon the very ideas
and principles that he is proclaiming,
UudU uS anu HIS lTlcuuS ulBuU Do IN
duced to cooperate with us in the
coming campaign. l did not go to see
him at my own suggestion or in my
own interest"
"What was your concluding impress
sion OF his position ?"
she left me with the belief that if
sufficient signatures were furnished to
lead him to believe that his candidacy
was demanded by the reform classes he
would become candidate.
"My idea Is that the way to defeat all
reform is to divide the forces OF re-
form, and the way to defeat monopoly,
militarism, the dominion of trusts,
imperialism and great standing army
is to unite every element of the COM
munity and of the state in one solid
phalanx. Union means unquestioned
success and division means unques-
toned defeat In other words, the
question is whether we shall have a
government based upon the patriotism
OF the country and the intelligence of
the American people, or mock EN-
plre like the imperial monarchies of
Europe based upon bayonets and force.
And no class OF men are more vitally
interested In this question than the la
boring men of Ohio"

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
Peabody Normal school.

The scandal in connection with the
Peabody Normal School has created a
mild sensation in Nashville. 1t develops
that w. r. Payne, son of Chancellor
Payne and secretary of the Normal col
lege, is the man accused by the legisla-
tive committee of corrupt practices.
Payne, as private secretary to his father,
checked out money, signing his own
name while the account was in his
fathers name. In November, 1895,
Payne deposited 81, 800 in the City Saw
ings Bank, of which he is vice-president,
and with the exception of one check for
$1,000, the account was in the name of
"W. r. Payne, President State Fund, :"
at the same time there has been an
other account in the name of wv. r.
Payne, President Peabody Normal State
Fund" This last account has at times
been Overdrawn, and 4 small amount of
interest paid on the overdraft, notwith-
standing that there was S6,0 of the
State fund on deposit in the bank, on
which the State received no interest or
benefits. At the same time overdrafts
were occasionally made in the account
kept in the First National Bank, and
as much as S54 paid on this overdraft.
Since the committee has been at work,
however, the two accounts in that bank
have been consolidated and credit given
by the bank for the interest on over
drafts.
