ENFORCING QUARANTINE.
Death From "Cuban Chickenpox" at
St Marys.

One of the cases Of so-called Cuban
chickenpOX" at St. Marys which Dr.
w. b. Swan, secretary of the state
board of health saw several days ago
and pronounced to be similar to the dis
ease now prevalent in Topeka, proved
fatal Wednesday night. The patient
was deliriOus for some time before
death. and DR.. George Miller, the at
tending physician, declares it to have
been a case of smallpox He states
that the other case IS smallpox also.
This is the second case to prove fatal
in this vicinity The first death was
that of a cOlored man living on the
North side.
City Physician Peers stated today
that several more men had been en-
plOyed to guard houses where cases
of the disease exist. This second death,
coupled with the fact that the case was
pronounced to be similar to disease in
Topeka and the declaration of DR.. Mil
Ter that death was due to smallpox,
makes it still more the duty of the city
health authorities to regidly enforce
quarantines. Anything they may do
in this waV will meet with the COM
mendatiOn of the people of Topeka A
new case was reported to the health au-
thOritieS today.
The following note was received to-
day from DR.. A. A. Raub:
Editor State Journal:
Two weeks ago last Wednesday by
request of DR.. AshmOre, 1 in company
with him visited two cases of the So
called Cuban chickenpOX." The first
case was Sarah Workman, an adult
female, at Alb Jefferson street; her face,
hands and arms were covered with con-
fluent pustular scabs. We diagnosed her
disease as smallpox. The next case was
a Mrs Moody at the corner of Adams
and Fourth streets. He case we
diagnosed varioloid. Those We're the
only cases we saw. We did not visit
the Fourth avenue hotel at that or any
other time. We did not see a Mr.. Brad
shaw nor any other man sick with the
disease.

part of the report made by City Ply

WAITING ON OTIS.
PhilippineSection of Presidents
Message Is Held Open.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The cabinet to-
day discussed briefly the presidents
message to which the finishing touches
have been placed except to that portion
relating to the Philippines That section
of the message is being held up in the
hope that the president may be able to
announce the complete collapse of the
insurrection before it goes to congress.
The members of the cabinet are unan-
imously of the opinion that the rebel
lion is on it's last legs and that any
day may see the end.
The Philippine question is solving
itself, is the way one member put it
today. The president has decided not
to send the message to congress until
Tuesday as the immediate adjournment
OF the senate upon the announcement
of the death of Vice President Hobart
would preclude its being read on Mon
day.

Will Not Manage the Campaign
Next Year
Unless Strong Pressure Is
Brought to Bear.
THE SAME is INVITED
In an Apparently Inspired Tele-
gram From Cleveland.
Might Take a Place on the EX-
ecutiVe Committee.

Cleveland, Dec. 1-COncerning the re-
ports which have been in circulation
for several weeks past to the effect that
Senator Hanna would not succeed him
self as chairman of the national Re
publican committee, it can be stated
on the authority of Mr.. Hanna's most
intimate friends that he has no desire
to manage another campaign and that
unless very strong pressure is brought
to bear upon him, he will in all proba-
bility decline to do so.
Notwithstanding the published state
ments that many leading Republicans
throughout the country are opposed TO
Mr. Hanna'S reappOintment as chair
man of the national committee il is
known that he is almost daily receiving
from influential party leaders repre-
Senting practically all sections OF the
country letters to the effect that he has
their fullest confidence and support,
and urging that he is the strongest man
available for the place.
Mr.. Hanna's closest friends, and the
members of his own family believe
however that the condition of his health
is such that he should not under any
circumstances assume the respOnsibll1-
ty of managing another presidential
campaign.
It has been suggested that should MT
Hanna decide not to accept a reappOlnt-
ment as chairman that he be made
member of the executive committee,
having personal charge of the cam
paign finances. This would, it is point
ed out relieve Mr.. Hanna of the
arduOus duties deVolving upon him as
chairman and at the same time give
his experience and marked success in
raising campaign funds.

HOPE FOR KIMBERLEY.
British Officials Believe the
Town Will be Saved.

London, Dec. 1.-While rumors of the
relief of Kimberley current on the
stock exchange today may be prema-
ture in their literal sense, there seems
no doubt that the pressure on the gar
risOn has been much lightened by Gen.
Methuen's successes and the actual re-
lief of the place is likely to be a fact
very soon.
clue to the urgent reasons which
dictated Gen. Methuen's hurried march
may be found in Gov Miners hint to
the relief committee at Cape Town to
prepare for the reception of 10000
refugees, indicating that the garrison
must have had reason to fear the re-
ductiOn of Kimberley by starvation and
disease.
The most recent news from Kimber-
ley comes by way of Pretoria and al
most seems to show that Kimberley
and Mafeking are acting in concert
with Gen. Methuen, for at the time the
battle was raging at Gras Pan both
Col Kekewich and Col. Baden-Poweu
made SOrt1eS and aSSa1led the beleaguer-
erS. The result of the Mafeking SOr-
ties is not known, but according to a
dispatch from Pretoria Col. KekeWich
inflicted considerable loss on the Beers,
two shells killing nine and WOunding
seventeen in a group.
A special dispatch from Pretoria,
dated Sunday, November 26, says there
was another sortie from Mafeking
Saturday, November 25. On the morn
ing of that day the chartered police at
tackled ElOff's' fort with great determ-
inatiOn. The fight was progressing
when the dispatch was sent.
Several ambulance trains left Mafe-
king November 25 for the Free State
where heavy fighting was expected
during the then coming week when
the Beers, it was added, would resist
the advance of the British in the direc-
ton of Kimberley.
