PEOPLE LEAVING HAMPTON.
Guests Have Also Deserted the Ho-
tells at Old Point

Hampton, Va, July S1.-This usually
Tranquil town has been in state of fe-
verish excitement to-day since the startling
discovery of yellow fever at the Soldiers
Home. Scores of people took advantage
OF the first opportunity for leaving the
place. Last night a special train left Old
Point with fully 800 of the guests of the
hotels.
Business in the town of Phoebus, ad-
Joining the Soldiers Home, is partially
suspended. All sorts of rumors have been
circulated, but ii is difficult to obtain ac-
curate information from the home. The
entrance, and in fact all the points at
which escape is possible, are carefully
guarded.
Late this afternoon a self-appointed
guard Of fifteen Hamptonians with Win
chester rifles went to the home to assist
in enforcing the quarantine regulations.
Chesapeake and Ohio trains have dis
continued their service to the city.

MILLS AND BLEAcRsRIES ON BANKS.

The resolution OF Councilman WHEEL
don introduced yesterday afternoon,
has created great deal of discussion.
His strong denunciation of the pollu-
ton OF the Moshassuck river is also
much talked OF and the concensus of
opinion is that II such pollution exists,
and IL is not denied, the trouble does
not originate in Providence, but in
Pawtucket.
Commissioner of Public Works Smith
stated this morning that the water OF
the river was pure enough at Scott's
pond, Saylesville. and then little way
below II began TO be contaminated.
The first place found was the mill of
the Lorraine Manufacturing company,
and then came the Darling fertilizer
works. A little way below were the
sewage filter beds of the city of Paw
tucket. then the Mason bleaching and
dyeing works and then the slaughter
houses. all OF which are located in
Pawtucket.
The city sewers now run as far as
Elk street, and Providence has sewers
enough to take care OF all the sewage
up TO the present time. so that little, IL
any, runs into the rrver.

NO APPREHENSION.
Yaqul Indians Now On Warpath viii
Soon Be ConaIIed.
No Political Significance Whatever 10 The
Present Uprising.

City OF Mexico, Aug 1O.-The Eighth
battalion of infantry has left here for
Sonora to join the troops engaged in
the Yaqui campaign. There is no ap-
prehension felt here Of the revolt
spreading to the Indians outside the
rebel camp in the mountains and in
fact the whole affair has reduced A.
self to a mere predatory move. The
Yaquis are armed with Remington
rifles.
There are not probably over 9oo In
dians IN reVolt and the campaign
against them will be sharplv nnsbed
The main body OF the Yaquis apnear
contented. There is some apprehension
lest the Americans engaged in ranch
ing near the scene OF the Indian raids
may be attacked. but the troops will be
employed TO protect them
There is no political Significance Ia
the revolt, which - similar to the ont
breaks from the American Indian res
ervations IN the past. The government
Is determined TO stamp out the dIssat,s
faction among the semi-barbarous In
dians in the peninsula OF Yucatan and
Is preparing for an energetic camnaIgn
there. Those Indians are a menace 10
the peaceful settlement OF the se,1iIe
regions and they make British Hon
duras their base OF supply. nroc,,r,ny
arms and ammunitions In the Rritisb
territory. although this is frowned nm
on by the colonial g0vsrnment. The
Yaqui Indians take refuge I'm almost
inaccessible morasses which thev know
perfectly, and into which few white
men have ever penetrated. Trade is
brisk in the Yucatan peninsula and
capital abundant and general reports
from crops are good.

Off for Mafha's Vineyard in Spanking
Southeast Breeze MANY Yachts
Remain at Newport.

IT was not quite so favorable for fair
weather early this morning as the New
York Yacht club fleet prepared for the
third run OF the cruise from Newport
10 Vineyard Haven.
The wind was rather light. and what
there was OF 1t came from a dark bank
OF clouds down in the south. that had
every indication OF rain. Thee air was
also muggy, in fact everything wore a
decidedly dog-day aspect, lifeless and
uncertain. The yachtsmen were up
early, however. and those who were on
deck at colors saw the flags go up on
the largest fleet of yachts ever an
chored in the harbor.
Five minutes after colors doomed out
from the flagship. signals were set di-
rect!ng the fleet to go to Vineyard
Haven to-day, and proceed from there
20 New Bedford tomorrow. There was
considerable grumbling over the latter
signal and not a few o4 the yachtsmen
expressed an unwillingness TO go into
BuZzards Bay
1t is almost certain that neither the
Columbia or Defender will go there. but
will sail back TO Newport Tomorrow
Too many rocks off the harbor seems
10 be the excuse OF those opposed to
