Havana, Oct. 3.-The yellow fever re
port for September shows there were i
deaths, s of the victims being American.
and q Spaniards. The others were
Frenchman and I German. The tota]
number of cases during the month was
81. There are ~ cases now on hand.
mostly convalescent. Surgeon Major Da
Wis says he is well satisfied. 1t was gen.

be the worst month. He believes that
within the next 90 days there will moi
be more than two or three cases. The

Otis Rejects Overtures.

Washington. Oct "a dispatch from
General Otis was received at the war de-
partment giving an account of his meet
ing with the insurgent ENJOYS. General
Otis said the interview with Aguinaldo's
representatives indicated that the leaders
were maneuvering solely with view to
secure recognition of the insurgent gov.
eminent. All such overtures were 10.
Jected, and the ENJOYS were informed
that the only thing the United States
would recognize was a white flag and the
grounding of arms. He also informed
the ENJOYS that such capitulation on the
part OF the insurgents should come quick
~ in order to avoid the consequences of
active war, as the United States did not
intend to permit any delay in the matter.
The course of General Otis is approved
at the war department.

Want Beer Tax Reduced.

Chicago, Oct. 3.-The Kecord says:
Milwaukee brewers have started an agi-
taton for the reduction Of the internal
tax on beer. 1t is now 81 barrel, and
the brewers want the tax reduced to

ers are sounding Democratic politicians
as to the chances Of having the Demo

demanding reduction of the beer tax.
The hope is entertained that the Demo-
cratic platform makers, for the purpose
of enistng the powerful influence of the
brewing interests of the United States
on the side of the Democratic party.
will do what the brewers want.

tain that the daring explorer did indeed
reach that goal, as the balloon might
nave been wrecked and the buoy thus
dropped but it is sure to arouse new in

petition. 1t is considerably over two
years since Andree. with his two COM
panions, Strindberg and Fraenkel, left
opitzbergen in their great balloon. The
start was made on the afternoon of Sun
day. July II, 1897.
On the 22d of the same month a sea-
man of the fishing boat Aiken killed
carrier pigeon between the Spitzbergen
North cape and the Seven isles, in about
latitude So This pigeon was found to
bear the following message:
18th July, 1890 p. m 1922 degrees

ress toward the north. All goes we'll on

since that time many rumors have been
circulated as to traces of the balloon or
me explorers being found, but none
winch would bear investigation. Several
expeditions have made careful search for
the missing men. but nothing has been
round, and the general impression among
authorities on polar exploration seems
to be that the hardy Swede and his two
companions have persisted in the arctic
cold.

LET US ALL PULL TOGETHER.

1t is an old and trite proverb that says
" in union there is strength" This APP
plies to communities as well as to every
thing else. No place can grow as it
should or would grow while it is divid-
ed into hostile factions. Barre has made
the most wonderful growth of all the
cities in New England during the past
ten years, but who is there who is not
ready to admit that her growth and
prosperity would have been greater if
there could have been greater unity on
toe part Of her citizens. Not that Barre
is worse than other enterprising, pro-
gressive communities in this regard.
There is now no great question before
the citizens of the city to divide it, and
is it not good time bury the Ratchet.
Let bye-gones be bye-gones, and all pull
together in the future to make Greater
Barre the imperial city of Vermont.
The TELEGRAM stands ready to do its
part, and cooperate with every interes,
in the community and with its esteemed
to WORK together for the
upbuilding of all that is good, progress
sive and desirable for Greater Barre.
