Yellow Fever mt key West.

Although some cases of yellow fever
have developed at Key West, there is not
the least occasion for public alarm or un-
easiness on that account. 1t is too late in
the season to fear an epidemic of danger
Gus proportions in this country, and the
success our authorities have had in stamp
ing out the disease in Hampton, and even
in Santiago de Cuba, is calculated TO create
public confidence that the day is not far
a visitor as the smallpox scourge which,
two or three generations ago, used TO sweep
whole cities in the United States.
There is reason to believe that, If Ameri-
can sanitary measures could be permanent
ly applied to, and enforced in, the Island
Of Cuba, as they will be in Porto Rico, the
menace OF yellow fever epidemics in our
Gulf and South Atlantic States would near
ly disappear. This consideration furnishes
an excellent reason why ultimate Ameri-
can suzerainty over Cuba should include
control Of sanitation both general and local.
While it is probable that. in due course OF
time, we shall accord TO the Cubans the
fullest measure Of independence in their
internal affairs, consistent with the safety
of the paramount American power, an ex-
of our right to protect our shores against
invasion by disease, Just as ordinary pru-
dence will compel US TO keep the matter Of
Cuban foreign relations strictly within our
own control.

AguinaIdo's 4 Partner.

We presume that at some time or other
Aguinaldo must have sold out his old
partner, Isabel Artucho, just as he has
sold himself and anything else he could
'ay hands on, whenever customer has
been in sight. Otherwise We might never
have enjoyed the benefit of Artucho's criti-
cal knowledge of his companion Tagal.
The former ought to know something
on the subject of which he treats, and his
views will probably be accepted as cor
rect by most Americans.
They will be rejected by the Boston Fill
pino Junta. as matter of course, and will
ill the Malay SOULS of Hoar, Atkinson,
Norton. Williams, and Carl Schurz with
rage and dismay They will not smash
their idol upon any evidence. even Filipino
evidence, that he is not Washington"
after all; but just an ordinary. everyday
common adventurer and cutthBoat.
Artucho declares that Aguinaldo has not
the remotest idea OF liberty" for even
the Tagals. He wants an irresponsible die
tatorship for himself Personal adherents
to whom he has promised fat Offices and
loot are backing him, but he is not trusted
by the majority of intelligent men in his
tribe. while the other Philippine tribes
simply detest him. The great bulk of the
Philippine native population-all but a
small fraction of one comparatively small
faction-will be glad when he has been
killed and American authority fully estab-
lished. Any other solution could mean
only anarchy IN he followed hy the division
Of the islands among European powers.

SHATTUC TO ATKINSON.
spicy Letter of the Representative
to AGuinaido's Friend

CINCINNATI Sept. "A new chapter
has been added to the controversy between
Representative W. B. Shattue. OF Gin
cinnati, and Edward Atkinson. Of Boston.
Atkinson mailed some of his pamphlets TO
members of Congress. General Shattuc
promptly resented his action in vigorous
letter, in which he said he was not a trail
| tor to his country and did not desire TO
receive any more literature OF the chsrae-
ter circulated by Atkinson. In response to
his letter, Atkinson wrote as follows:
To Hon W. B shattuc, VI. c., Cincinnati.
Dear Sir: / have The honor 10 acknowledge
your letter OF August .. note with approval
that you have published my letter and your
reply, which has brought 10 me many letters of
sympathy and approval, with large demand for
the pamphlets, which You don't desire 70 have
sent you Perhaps yeu will also publish tins
| Yours very truly, EDWARD AIkLNSVN-
Boston, Aug. 29, 1880.
General shattuc has also received letters
, warmly commencing him for the vigorous
way in which he replied to Atkinson. and
his latest letter, which he mailed TO Atkin-
son Saturday morning. is even warmer
than the first. 1t reads as follows;
Edward Atkinson. Esq. Boston, Mass.
Dear sir Your letter Of the 29th ultmo has
been received No doubt you have re-
ceved many letters OF sympathy from
your people in this country and am
confident your friend and co-wOrker. Aguin-
aldo, would have written one, thanking you
had not the Government OF the United States
prevented further communication between you
two chieftains. Neither do doubt in the least
that my protest to you (Which was published)
against your sending your seditious literature TO
my home had the effect a preachers
denunciation OF a disreputable theatrical show.
You would not have sent your seditious pubiiea-
tions TO the Philippine Islands unless you had
reason to believe that your friend and cO-worker,
AguinaldO would be comfoTted and aided there
by. Webster says that treason is confined to
the actual levying OF against the United
States to adhering to their enemies, giving
them aid and comfort
Webster was New England gentleman. too.
During the Civil War in this country Lincoln
was denounced, Grant was villified the Govern
! ment was assaied, the war declared uncOnstitu-
tional, inhuman, and failure, by people
in Boston well as by people in other see
tions OF the North, and peace demanded at
any price. The at the front called the
authors Of such declarations '.copperheads' and
TRAITORS" In your last letter you don't renew
your threat to have my name left OF the Con-
gressional list for the Fiftyseventh Congress- but
/ you suggest that publish the letter viii do
so with pleasure, and | may add that | also
have received many letters from Boston and the
rest OF the United States, but none Of them
was a letter of sympathy for for Aguin-
aldo. l am sure that those who wrote me had
no sympathy for Aguinaldo, and probably thought
/ needed none. Yours very truly,

BOYCOTT IN DREYFus' BEHALF
Rabbi Hirscln Returns With Some In
terestinE Informntion

CHICAGO. Sept 2.-After an absence OF
abroad three months, DR.. Emil G. Hirsch.
returned to the city yesterday to resume
his duties as rabbi of Sinai Congregation
and member of the faculty of the Uniyer-
sity Of Chicago. He comes back greatly
benefited in health and by his sojourn
OF FIVE weeks at Carlsbad and with strfk-
ing impression Of the state of affairs in
France and throughout Europe, developing
from the Dreyfus trial. Perhaps his most
significant observation was that in Ger
many. England. and the Scandinavian PENN
sula there is talk of boycotting the Paris
Exposition until Dreyfus is acquitted. Dr.
Hirsch stopped in Paris ten days, having
previously visited the prominent cities of
Germany, Austria, and Holland. From the
scenes he witnessed in the French capital
and from facts gained through personal
contact with Parisians, he thinks danger
is in store for the French Republic ire
spective of the outcome of the trial.
If Dreyfus is found innocent-and
greatly fear he will not be-he will not
live twenty-four hours unless extraordinary
precautions are taken to insure his safety, -
said Dr. Hirsch. Talk Of revolution is
widespread among the French people. They
look for revolution without regard to
the results ef the Dreyfus case. Three
fourths of the French are hostile to Drey-
fus, and in sympathy with his accusers,
who represent the army"
