and to be Succeeded by
Remy or Farquhar.

Washington, D. c., Sept. AT the
conclusion of the Dewey celebration at
New York Admiral Sampson will be re-
lieved Of the command Of the North At
lantic squadron. This action is to be
taken at the request of the admiral, who
has already had much more than his por
ton Of sea service in his grade. After a
short leave Of absence he will be as
signed to shore duty, probably III COM
mand of one of the navy-yards.
In considering the selection Of Admiral
Simpsons successor as COMMUNICATIVE
chief of the North Atlantic squadron, the
navy department has practically mar
rowed the field down to two names It
has been laiG down as the policy to be
followed that the commands of fleets
and stations shall be reserved, wherever
practicable, for the nine rear-admirals of
the first grade. 1t has been found that
Of these officers who are not already on
sea service or about to retire shortly,
there are three names, Remy, in COM

dent of the retiring board. Farquhar
has been longest on continuous shore
duty. and it is indicated here that either

ONE DE -ATH AT KEY WEST.
New Orleans Merchants Protest
Against Quarantine

Washin gton, D. c., Sept. 2.-The Ma.
rlne hospital service has received a tele
gram from Surgeon McAdams at Key
West, stating that one death occurred
last night from yellow fever, but no new
cases are reported.
New Orleans, La, Sept. 2-The re-
port of one fatal case of yellow fever
III New Orleans has caused but little ex-
element here. There is considerable
vexation in the business community over
the establishment of quarantine by the
surrounding towns. For G week at least
it seems likely that Texas and Alabama
will be closed against New Orleans
freight, involving a heavy loss in current
business. DR.. Sanders of Mobile, is
quoted as saying there are two cases in
this city. One of these is the Adolph
boy, who died yesterday. The other is
suspicious case, now convalescent and
IN no danger of death. The state board
of health has been called in session today
to consider the situation.
Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. 2-The state
board Of health here was advised today
Of five new cases of yellow fever and one
death in Key West, making a total OF
eighteen cases now in the island city.

STRUGGLE BETWEEN
WHITES AND BLACK S
Desperate Scheme to Disfranchise
100000 Negro Voters in
North Carolina.

Atlanta. Ga, Sept. 2.-The Journal to-
day publishes q sensational story from
its special correspondent who has re-
Gently been in North Carolina, on the
campaign commenced there by the white
people, both Democrats and Repub-
icans, to disfranchise 100000 negro vot-
ers in that state.
The Journal says: North Carolina has
just entered upon one of the most event
full campaigns in her history. 1t is a
death struggle between the Anglo-SaXon
and the African. This campaign IS
waged On Il proposed suffrage amend
ment to the constitution, submitted to the
people by the last Legislature. 1t was de-
signed for the single purpose of eliminat-
ing the negro as political factor. Ev
cry person of eligible age, who applies
for registration, for instance, must be
able to read and write any section or sec
tons Of the federal constitution.
Under this clause 100000 incompetent
negro voters in North Carolina will be
forever barred from the poll. But the
ignorant white voters-and there are per-
hapS thousands of them-can enter
through another gate. Section provides
that any lineal descendant of any voter
in this country prior to 1867 shall be
entitled to vote whether he can read and
write or not

FATHER CLUSE RESIGNS.
Probable Settlement of the Catholic
Rebellion al East ST. Louis.

East st. Louis, Ill, Sept. 2.-The ex-
communicated parishioncrs of st. Pat
rick's church virtually won great vic
tory over Bishop Jansen when Rev. Fa-
ther Cluse, whom the bishop appointed to
the pastorate of st. Patrick's, and whom
the parishioners refused to accept because
they wanted an Irish or an Irish-Ameri-
can priest, rendered his resignation.
Bishop Jansen referred the resignation
direct to Mgr. Martinelli, the papal dele
gate in Washington. Father Cluse,
despairing of being accepted by the par
ishioners and Wearying of the fight
begged to hand in his resignation and
quit the controversy for good. His ac-
ton was not Il surprise. as it had been
rumored that he was Disguised and anx-
ious to be removed from his disagreeable
position.
1t is expected that under Father Hark-
ms they will return to st. Patrick's and
the ban Of communication be removed.

EXPO. IN DANGER.
Many Firms will Not Send Exhibits
to Paris Unless Quiet is
Restored.

London, Sept. 1.-English firms are be-
ginning seriously to consider the outlook
for the Paris exposition of 1900, fearing
that the conclusion Of the Dreyfus trial
will not end the internal dangers to the
peace of France. Any verdict is likely
to cause new agitation, while it is not
considered likely that the rumored prose
cutiOn Of Gen. MERCER and the trial of
NJ. Paul Deroulede and others arrested
on a charge of conspiracy against the re-
public will be settled quietly.
Of the English firms already allotted
space, one, employing 1000 hands in Lon
don, Manchester, Liverpool and Birming
ham, has suspended preparations for the
present, and great Birmingham metal
manufacturers who have done likewise
say they will abandon the thing altogeth-
er If they must wait much longer.
Many other firms, including the most
important in England, make similar
statements. Those, on the other hand.
who are proceeding actively say the ex-
hlblts will be disable elsewhere. and rely
on the hope that France will make every
effort to restore quiet for the sake of the
exposition The time, however, is so
short that improvements must be speedy
IN order to restore the confidence of for
eign exhibitors

Washington, D. c., Sept. Gen.
Otis today cabled the war department a

cessible only by road, an almost perpen-
dicular slope, constantly under fire for 1000
feet. One officer and two men struck by
boulders rolled down on them, but not seri-
ously hurt: no casualties reported; bandit
strength 400.

PROGRESS IN CUBA.
Gen. Lee Recommends an Inde-
pendent Government Under
American PrOteCtOrate.

Chicago, Ill, Sept. IA special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has made an elab-
crate report on prevailing conditions im
the territory in Cuba under his jurisdic-
ton and takes strong ground for an in
dependent government for the Cubans
under an American protectorate. The
war department in March directed the
commanders OF departments IN Cuba to-
make a report or the conditions in their
several sections and to accompany it with
recommendations as to the treatment Of
the natives. Gen. Lee is the only COM
mander who has SO far responded.
Gen. Lee begins his report by stating
conditions in Havana and Pinar del Rio
provinces are making rapid progress to-
ward a state of peace, good order and
prosperity. He goes into this in great
detail, detailing town by town, showing
general improvement throughout the
western end Of the island. His report in
this respect is very gratifying, indicat-
ing as IT does that there is not as much
suffering from want Of food as is often
asserted III unofficial reports.

A shower of hay fell near Birning-
ham, England. recently. A short time be-
fore men were at work in a bayfield,
few miles distant when q large cock of
hay which was to be carted away was
caught by whirlwind and carried into
the air. 1t was seen to pass over the
town like disabled balloon. A similar
thing happened at another place near by.
In this case the hay suddenly began to
rise into the air in a spiral column, fun
mel shaped, the hay travelling round and
upward until the diameter of the funnel
At the top was a hundred yards or so.
Curiously, the eye-witnesses of the phe-
nomena did not feel any wind. 1t is sup
posed that it was one or the other of
these lots of hay which fell near Biz
mlngham. The rector of Alvechurch,
which is twelve miles further away from
Birmingham, states that shower of hay
fell in that village.

WILL NOT SURRENDER.
Must be Whipped Before
They will Give Up,

Manila, Sept 1-Gen. Frederick Fun
ston and Mrs. Funston are with the gen
erals regiment. Gen. Funston has I'M
dargone an operation necessitated by an
injury resulting from a fall from his
horse while serving in the Cuban army
with Gen. Gomez.
In the course Of an interview, Gen.
Funston remarked that he would not
mind staying in Luzon. He dislikes
war, but inasmuch as there is fighting
ing it to a close. Speaking of the fu-
ture, he said:
THE only solution of the problem Will
be through whipping the insurgents
do not think they will surrender. When
we begin active operations against them
on a larger scale in the autumn, we will
scatter them into small bands and |
think when the soldiers composing these
bands see that they are persistently pur-
sued they will throw away or hide their
arms and return to the pursuits Of peace
A year hence small bodies of armed men
will be able to go anywhere in Luzon.
The island was always infested with
bandits and was never safe for Euro
peans to travel in. Probably after the
end of the fighting the highwaymen will
be more numerous because the members
of Aguinaldo's army, who have lived for
years with guns in their hands, have
acquired taste for bush life and would
rather continue as highwaymen than re-
turn to work.
Cavalry is greatly needed here The
country, when dry, is superb for cavaI-
ry operations. The insurgents have
none. One of their strong points is their
ability to retreat rapidly. Cavalry could
overtake and hopelessly scatter and pun
ish them, and could subsist largely on the
country. When cavalry is once here it
should be given a chance to go ahead and
not be kept in towns for guard duty Our
foot La1, ~,
the regimental commanders have been al
lowd to quickly follow up the advantages
gained in battle. Small bodies of
Americans, operating freely and COM
manded by officers of dash and energy
could badly break up the enemy The
capture of Aguinaldo by cavalry would
be less difficult proposition than the
capture of the Apache chiefs in Arizona.'
