surgeon General Wyman of the marino
hospital service had not UP to II O'Clock
To-Day received any details of the spread
OF yellow fever to Phoebus the town ad-
Joining Hampton. 1t was thought likely

The condition of the yellow fever cases
generally and the developments up to TODAY
are encouraging the surgeon general in the
hope that it has been confined TO the So

Inc TACT that another day has gone by
without the discovery of another case of
the fever outside these restricted limits js
extremely encouraging. and if no case Is
discovered in any other place within The

settle the question OF the spread of the

SERIOUS
Aspect of Affairs Between
Japan and Russia.
REFUGEES ARE SCURRYING
From the Scene of Probable
War--Japan's Preparedness.

Victoria, B. c., Nov. n-That the rum
ors of the serious situation between Rus
STA and apan are not exaggerated seems
certain from news received here. The
North China Daily Nws says: so great
ly excited were the Chinese of the north
by rumors of an impending war between
Russia and apan that many merchants,
both Chinese and japanese who are do
ing business in New Schwang. Port Ar
thur and Che Foo have sent their families
to Shaug Hal and elsewhere in the south
for safety
1t is believed Japan rather courts the
struggle, as she is now second only to
England in naval strength and for years
has viewed thu entertainments of Russia
with resentment and alarm.
Ii Hung Chang in an Interview given
to an American correspondent al Pekin
on the Philippine question. blames the
United tSates for departing from its ira
ditianal policy, saying that had General
Grant lived the country would never have
entered upon the policy that he Old
prophesied would be disastrous 10 the
United States He said China would not
object to Americans enlisting regiments
of Chinese mercenaries to fight Filipinos
if they were enlisted in the Philippines
and with the knowledge and consent OF
the Chinese consul there.
Port Townsend, Wash. Nov. lad
vices reviewed by the Oriental steamship
Irene, arriving today. indicate that the
apanese government is taking a great in
terest in the South African war. Upon
the recommendation Of the general stan
of the apanese army an officer will be
sent to the scene of hostilities for the
purpose of gaining practical knowledge
of the strength and tactics of the Boer
army. This move on the part Of the
Japanese, according TO the Kobe Chron-
icle, is indispensable for the reason that
Japan may be forced TO rely upon the
assistance of British army at distant
date.
The Russian minister In Seoul has ere
ated considerable stir in diplomatic cir
cles of japan by making a demand to
have the spheres of influence of the re-
spective powers in Corea defined and has
made proposition to this effect 10 the
ministers of the various powers, through
Germany's representatives. Japan strong
" opposes the move and it is claimed in
official circles that Russia has evolved
nlan to counteract Japans influence in

TAGAL DISPATCHES CAPTURED
They Show That AguinaIdO's Hope Is
in His Ally, Bryan

Washington, Nov. u-Three important
dispatches from General Otis were re-
ceived at the war departmenttoday,
showing the hardships and difficulties en-
countered by our troops in their advance
and giving a captured insurgent dispatch
showing the line of argument put for
ward to sustain the instruction. The
dispatches are as follows:
Manila. Nov 11.-Severe typhoons over
Panay last two days impeded march Cen

miles north of West Ilolio. Insurgents

Manila, Nov. IA number of official
insurgeut dispatches captured yesterday
by General Young's troops in the north
and forwarded. by LawtOn last night.
They indicate directed abandonment by
emmy of country in vicinity Of tCabana-
tuan and San Jose and hurried move
ments by way of laying over mountains

Among the dispatches the following APP

with the Commercials official plurality
of 9. 734 from III counties, still leaves Tey-
lor a plurality of 1,21S Much depends,
however, upon contests being made IN
several counties on the ground Of al
legged irregularities. The determination
Of these points may cause change from
present estimates Of the result.
The official count has shown that the
two candidates for governor ran far
ahead of their tickets all over the state.
Goebel is leading it by an average Of
over twenty-five votes to the county. In
Grayson county, where the Democratic
bolt was strong, he leads the ticket by
fifty votes. Taylor appears to be lead
ling his ticket by an even greater aver
age than Goebel. In Grayson, Taylor
leads ever Marshall, the candidate for
lieutenant governor. by 1874 votes. In
Taylor county Goebel leads his ticket by
fifty-fve votes and Taylor by thirty-tive.
In this city good progress was made
with the count today. with very slight
changes. 1t will require several days to
finish it, however, as bitter disputes nave
arisen in several warus.
The Courier-Journal at midnight, fig
ures out a plurality Of 155 for Goebel.
This is based on official reports from
ninety-fve counties and unofficial from
the remaining twentt-one. The county
commissioners of Nelson, according to
the Courier-Jou rnal have thrown out ]. :
