YELLOW FEVER.


A Pen Picture of It's Ravages in
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July "a let
ter received to-day by Will T. Hale, of
this city, from his son Charles, now in
Santiago, Cuba, gives some insight in
to the yellow fever situation there. He
is an officer in the Fifth United States
infantry. The letter says:
Since l wrote you last yellow fever
has broken out here. 1t carried off
four members of the regimental band
in three days, and in two weeks we
have lost twenty-seven men out CT our
regiment. Four of these were of COM
pany M, the one to which l belong.
"One night at 9 O'Clock the physician
made us get outside the barracks with
nothing on but the Cuban atmosphere,
our guns, belts and one hundred rounds
of ammunition. He would not allow
us to carry out a rag with us. The
next morning our company was divid-
ed up into small squads in charge of
a non-commissioned officer, and scat
tered all about the country"

THREAT OF LYNCHING
Up Glenwood, a Suburb of Pitts
burg. Last Night.

Stirred Up Glenwood, a Suburb of Pitts
burg. Last Night.
PITTSBURG, Pa, July 9.-Glen-
wood, a suburb of this city, was thrown
into big excitement tonight by the
threatened lynching of a young negro
named Daniel Scott. Scott, with three
companions, went to a mill workers
camp lea Hays station, where a game
of craps was soon started with sever
al of the mill men. Scott lost his all
on a throw, grabbed the money and
ran, with the crowd at his heels. Pat
rick Murto caught up to him and de-
manded the money. Scott pulled his
revolver and fired at Murto, the ball
grazing his shoulder and knocking him
to the ground without real injury.
Scott fled but was captured on the
Glenwood bridge, where a crowd of
several hundred men soon gathered.
Murto's companion, thinking he had
been murdered, wanted to lynch the
negro. No rope being at hand, some
wanted to- throw him over the bridge.
Before the police arrived to rescue him,
Scott had been used for a football by
the crowd and was a sorry looking OBJ
ject when landed in the station house.
Scott claims that his revolver was
loaded with blank cartridges.

BIG PREPARATIONS
Made for a Fierce Gas War by q Chicago
Corporation.

Made for a Fierce Gas War by a Chicago
Corporation.
CHICAGO, July 9.-The Record to-
morrow will say:
AT to-day's meeting the stockholders
of the Ogden Gas Company, of Chi
cago, will vote on a proposition to au-
thorize an issue of $4,000, 900 of bonds.
Incidentally, they will vote on what
seems to be preparatory to one of the
~fiercest gas wars ever known. At the
present time but $1,000, 900 of the new
issue will be sold, and about the be-
ginning of next May, ZOO, 900 more
will be marketed, while $4,000, 900 will
remain in the treasury for future con-
~tingencies.
The Ogden Gas Company has detail
ed plans calling for the expenditure of
$1,000, 900. The extension of business
and the enlargement of the present ca
pacity now under way will require
$4,000, 900. With that enlarged plant
as a center, the company will be ready
to spend the other $4,000, 900.
The campaign contemplated by the
Ogden company will put it into the best
of the Peoples Gas territory, and it will
be a war between gas companies at 81
and gas at 80 cents. Furthermore, it
is said the Ogden plan contemplates a
cut in price to rs cents a thousand
feet.

HAS BOUGHT AN ISLAND.

CHICAGO, July "a special to the
Tribune from Tacoma, Washn., says:
John D. Rockefeller has purchased the
Texado island iron mines, in British
Columbia. The mines will be operated
by the Monte Christie Mining Com
pany, owned and controlled by Rookie
Teller, and it is probable development
work will be commenced a. once.
The price paid for the property is a
secret. Six years ago an effort was
made to buy the mines and $3.50, 900
was asked for them. The ore runs
sixty-six per cent and is considered
as good as any iron produced in the
country, and the mines lie within 200
feet of tide water. Rockefeller, it is
stated, will soon begin the erection of
a plant to handle the ore, as at pre-
sent there is none in the Pacific north
west. 1t is said the plan-will be es-
tablished in Tacoma owing to the
cheapness of coke and the railroad ia
~cilities here.

STREET GAR RIOTS


Rceplt Ia London Ont. Being Placed
Under Martial Law.
DETROIT, Mich, July "a Tribune
special from London, Ont, says:
The city has been placed under mar
tial law and additional militiamen or
dered in from the adjacent towns as a
result of yesterdays street car riots.
Late last night, the police became un-
able to cope with the rioters and the
military was called out to clear the
streets. The trouble commenced in the
afternoon, when crowds drove the non
union crews of several street cars from
their posts and stoned the cars. One
car was fired after the crews had left
it and was almost destroyed. The po-
lice dispersed the afternoon rioters
without aid. The company left six
cars on Dundas street in the afternoon
and did not attempt to move them to
the barns tonight. When the attempt
was made the rioting broke out afresh.
The cars were stoned and the mob be-
came so boisterous that the riot act
had to be read. This had not the de-
sired effect, and Mayor Wilson called
out the military. Several arrests were
made. No one was seriously injured
by the stone throwing. The city is
quiet to-day and no further trouble is
looked for.

citizens of Central America, living here,
claim to have received dispatches indi-
eating that Guatemala is on the verge
of another serious revolution. Pres

the Occidental Bank of Guatemala, and
Jose e. Sanchez, a capitalist of Guate-
malan capital, who have taken an ac-
tive part in political affairs. were
threatened with Imprisonment and
death and sought refuge in the Mexi-
can legation. The Mexican minister is
said to have afforded them the protec-
ton of the legation pending IN inquiry
into the principal cffenses with which
they are charged. Recently Devilla,
President of the Columbia Bank of
Guatemala, is reported to have fed from
the country in fear of his life.

ing of Congressman Rosendo Santa

NJ. DANIEL,
Who Had Charge Of Devils Island
While Dreyfus Was There, Re-
moved -Scandalous Reports Circu-
lated Regarding the Italian Minis
ter.

PARIS, July 9.-M. Daniel, governor
of the lies du Salut, and administrator
of the penal settlement in the Isle du
Diable, where Captain Dreyfus was i'm
prisonedy has been removed and Will
be succeeded by NJ. Lascoucan.
M. Daniel wal responsible for much
of the punishment melted out to the
prisoner in the hope of compelling him
to declare himself guilty.
S~candalous reports are in circulation
in connection with the death here yes
terday Of Signor C. Ressman, former
ly Italian ambassador to France. 1t is
alleged that while he was lying at the
point of death, three persons, including
an official of the Italian embassy, rified
his rooms and took away a quantity of
papers.
The ~anti-Semite journals connect the
story with the Dreyfus affair. 1t APP
pears that about a fortnight ago Signof
Ressman had an imense quantity OF
documents destroyed, declaring that if
they were left they might harm
various people"
1t is also suggested that the search
may have been instigated by Signor
Crispi, the former Italian prime minis
ter, who practically dismissed Signor
Ressman from the Italian embassy in
Paris in 1895 because the diplomatist
had failed to make the French press
favorable to the Crispi government.
