suspicious in the town of Hampton.
There We're no new cases and only two
deaths at the home to-day, according TO

Surgeon General Wyman, in speaking
of the situation tonight. inferentiaIly
uttered word of caution against too
sanguine views of the checking of the
epidemic at this time. which might re-
suit in relaxation Of the precautions
which should be maintained against the
spread of the fever. He said: ''There
are certain factors in the situa ton
which make it encouraging and they
are first, that the disease was discov-
cred very promptly, compared with
usual outbreaks and in an institution
where the inmates were under good con-
troll. 1t was recognized much quicker
than it would have been in a commercial
community, because all the cases and
all the deaths were brought together to
the notice of one man. Aonther favor
able factor is that the latitude is not
extremely south. Nevertheless it
should be remembered that in Rruns-
wick, Ca, in 1893, little more than
two weeks after the last reported death.

to proceed to the United States to Or

that he had not made the statement

General Jminez admits that he has
often been to the United States incog-

with official persons. He considers that
there is no need of promoting expedi-

to the future relations of San Domingo

For Release of Cub,ns,

Washington Aug. 4,-Senor Quesada,
the Cuban agent in this city, is in daily
consultation with state department Off
cials in regard to the Cubans held as
prisoners in Spanish penal settlements.
Mr.. Storer, our minister at Madrid, is
earnestly aiding in the effort to secure
the release of these prisoners where
offense was purely political. The main
difficulty experienced so far is in the
identification of the prisoners and to
this branch of the subject Senior Que
sada is devoting himself. The result
has been the location up to date of fif-
teen prisoners. The Spanish govern
ment is said to be acting with the great
est courtesy and consideration in this
matter.

THE sAMoaN oomMrssYoN.
Its Non-Arrival Eesinmtng to Attract
Attention I'm Warrington.

Washington, Aug. 4.-The non-arri-
val of the Samoan commission is be-
ginning to attract attention in official
quarters, as it is thought some new
complication may have arisen in Samoa
to keep the commission there. The last
report was that the party would leave
Apia on July IS, and if this had been
carried out the commission would haVe
been due in San Francisco before the
present time. AS the bulk Of the ma
tives We're disernel there is little pros
pect that they could cause serious dis
order. Yet il case of renewed trQutle
between the factions it Is believed tdas
the commission would wait until quiet
had been restored, Respecting COnsrl
Osborne's assuming the duties OF the
chief justice OF Samoa, 1t is understood
here that he haG the support of the
Germans, as the latter, while strongly
opposed tc Chief Justice Chambers, at
no time made a point against Consul
Osbolmos part in the Samoan difficult
ties.
The state department is still in ig-
norance of the manner in which Consul
Osborne came to be made acting chief
justice in view Of the vigorous conten-
ton hy Herr Solf, the president of the
municipal council. that he was entitled
to the succession. A long report on the
proceedings of the Samoan commission
has been submitted by Mr.. Tripp, the
United States commissioner and presi-
dent Of the commission, but coming by
mail it is of date a month back and does
not bring the history of events down to
the breach between Chief Justice Cham
bers and the commission.

lowed. DR.. Grove stopped in front of
the leading hotels and was requested to

of the conference at The Hague led him
to decide to abdicate on the occasion of

Spaniards, being the best people among
us because of their capacity for work
and because they can stand the climate
well, will harmonize with the present
population, if the latter will try to for
get old prejudces. 1t is important to
