YELLOW JACK AT GOTHAM.
Plague Ship From santos Detained
at Quarantine.

New York, Feb. 10.-The third shir
that has come here from Santos within
four days with report of death among
her crew has just arrived ut quarantine
and is detained there. In the two former
cases death was said to be due tc
stomach trouble and pneumonia, but the
officers of the Sloman steamer Taormina
admit that one of her tiremen died Of
yellow fever.
The ship left Santos Jan. 26, and Cap.
tain NIollcr, her master, says that al.
were well ut that time. II. Il. Phillipsey,
fireman, showed signs of yellow fever
when the ship was week at sea and
died last Monday. The body w,ts buried
at sea. The officers Of the ship told the
assistants of Health Officer Doty that
Rudolph Schmidt,%inother fireman, was
also sick on board. ,a-.
When the &Nlth officials boarded the
Taormina, they discovered that Schmidt,
who is % years old and native of
Bremen, had well marked symptoms Of
the fever. He was Immediately trans
ferred to Swinburne island He will die.
The ship was detained, and the well por.
ton of the crew will be sent to Hoffman
island as precautionary measure.
Phillipsey was native OF Dantzic,
Germany, and 20 years old. The Taor.
nina has cargo of 81, 100 bags Of cof
fee.
The health authorities say that after a
thorough disinfection the steamer will be
obliged, as in the case of the j. w. lay
lor and Ragusa, some time ago, to pro-
coed to the upper bay and discharge her
cargo into lighters. She will not be per-
mitted to come to the piers except to
load.
The bark Lovisa arrived at quarantine
from Santos Friday with member of
her crew dead, and the Lamport & Holt
company's steamer Herschel, which ar
rived Saturday from the same port, lost
her second engineer Edgar H. Horribly,
during the journey. "Bilious fever" was
given as the cause of Hornbys death.

General Situation of Yesterdays
Stock and Money Mar
ket Reviewed.
STOCKS DULL BUT FIRM
The General Impression Seems to be,
Among Prominent Brokers, That
il will Continue Dull at Least
For the Present--.Nothing
Seems TO Affect 10.

The market yesterday was dull, but
firm. Sugar managed to hold its own
and Brooklyn Rapid Transit gained 3
single point.
The general feeling is that the market
narrow fluctuations in prices. The bear
the public out of the market and the
failure of good news to have any decided
effect, stocks will go down faster than
they will GO up.
People who bought Baltimore & Ohio
during the recent rise were led to believe
that the stock would be put upon at
least four per cent. basis at the meet
ing recently held. While the company's
earnings wsuld justify such action, the
fact that nothing has been paid, makes
the price of B. x o. ridiculously high in
comparison with Union Pacific and
Northern Pacific common, which are
both paying dividends.
The steel stocks seem to be under the
hammer for the present, as there was
good deal Of liquidation among people
who were disappointed at the failure OF
the stocks to advance after the phenomi-
nal showing of earnings which have re-
Gently been made. The question is
asked whether, il prices do not go up
under such circumstances, will they ever
go up.
A special from London says: There is
positively nothing doing in any OF the
markets. The speculation is desultory
almost to the point of being apathetie.

London, Feb. 19.-A special dispatch

the British government consented to let
Spain have $500 shells which were being

tory at Placentia meets with vigorous de-

Silvela lied. There is not word of
truth in this allegation that England
helped Spain to fight the United States.
In the first place, the factory at Placentis
is branch of our concern, built at the
request of Spain, because that country

House Committee Begins Work on
Charges Against Merriam's Men.
Washington, Feb. 19.-'The investiga-
tion of charges as to the conduct of the
United States military forces under Brig
adler General Merriam during the Idaho
mining troubles last summer has begun
before the house committee on military
affairs.
The committee room was crowded with
those who have been prominent in the
affair, including Governor Steunenberg
Of Idaho, State Auditor Sinclair, General
Merriam, ex-Master Workman Sovereign
of the Knights of Labor, Il. j. Flanagan Of
the Idaho legislature and a magistrate at
Mullan, Ida. and u considerable delega-
ton of miners from the C9ur d'Alene
district.
The entire time was consumed in dis
cussing the manner of procedure, and on
this some sharp differences developed be-
tween members of the committee. Sew
eral members wanted Representative
Lentz, who started the inquiry, to act as
complainant and prosecutor, but he de-
clined to accept this position and urged
that there should be free and full in
vestigation. He said there was no par
tisanship in the investigation, and he
merely wished to get at the charges,
which labor organizations regarded as
very serious and which We're widely
made in the press
Representative Marsh of Illinois also
urged that, as Mr.. Lentz had formulated
the charges, he should proceed in his own
way. There should be the fullest investi-
CATION, $50 that it would not be said any

Chairman Hull did not think the COM

Mr.. Lentz.

misrepresentation Of his position, and
Mr.. Hull disavowed any such purpose.
