OpinfOn Concerning the Cause d
reI1sw Fever n Havana.
HAVANA. July 1870 far this month
there have been As cases Of yellow fever
here and sixteen deaths. Ton u the suf-
ferers, however. were attacked in June.
Surgeon Major Gorgas anticipates about
twenty-five civilian deaths this month,
which has been the average for July for
the past ten years. Nearly all the cases
have been Spanlards who recently arrived.
Major Gorgas regards the situation as
perfectly natural, owing to the. immigra-
ton. He Instances December, 1899, in
which month there were far more deaths
than usual. owing to the Spanish immi-
grafton, which was unusual that month.
The cases are fairly well coHfned to the
old part Of the city. That part of the old
town near the navy yard, where there
were formerly many cases, Is now, how
ever, free OF the disease
All the local papers are attacking Sec
rotary Verona most violently on account OF

versity Of Havana. At .frst the decree
was praised, and the papers congratulated
the country upon the radical improvement
that was to be made. The trouble now Il

POLITICAL ARGUMENT BARRED
The Southern Industrial Convention
Rejects nm Address.

ATLANTA. Ca, July 19.-The Southern
industrial Convention, in session here this
morning. overwhelmingly rejected public
address framed by committee appointed
for that purpose on the ground that the
entire document was an endorsement OF
tie Republican policy and would lend aid
and encouragement to the Administration
forces IN the pending campaign. The lead
ing features Of the address were:
First, tacit endorsement of the ship
subsidy policy Of the Administration, the
address declaring that the commercial and
export interests OF the South would be
enhanced II goods were carried in Ameri-
can bottoms
Second. cali for the maintenance Of
the present currency system Of the United
States.
Third. an endorsement of the present
protective tariff of the United States as a
safeguard to American workingmen against
the inroads OF cheap foreign wares.
A few Of the delegates favored the pro-
visions Of the address regardless of poll
tics, but the sentiment of the convention
prevailed and fresh committees was APP
pointed TO, draft document more in con-
sorance with the views Of the delegates.

mistake in making the amendment the
Issue in the campaign. Speaking OF the
amendment Governor Russell said:
With free and fair vote 1t would be
defeated. but. OF course. it will be adopted.
There Is no way to prevent 1t. The Demo-
cratic managers have got passion and
prejudice aroused and have established q
reign OF terror In many localities. This
they started out to do and have done it."
Referring to the negrGes, the Governor
said: NO, l do not believe they will to
any great extent attempt to vote. Ny
advice to colored people Is to let this
amendment thing alone. They are help
less.
Let them leave It to the whites. II IL

GOVERNOR ALLEN A VISITOR.
Calls Mt the Brooklyn Navy Yard
and Receives q salute.


NEW YORK, July 19.-Gov. Charles H.
Allen, Of Porto Rico. and his wife drove
from Manhattan to the navy yard in
Brooklyn today, and their arrival at the
Sands Street entrance was a surprise to
the officers Of the yard, as their coming
had not been announced. Governor Allen
had made arrangements to sail for Boston
today on the Mayfiower, his private yacht,
but it was expected that he would board
her at some pier in Manhattan.
On his arrival at the yard he was Joined
by Captain Wilkes, the captain Of the
yard, and the party was accompanied to
the Mayfower BY Rear Admiral A. s.
Barker, the new commandant. Governor
Allen received the usual salute on his
return to the vessel, and when the May
flower got under way she fired a salute
of thirteen guns in honor Of the rear ad-
miral, and these were responded to from
the Cob Dock.
The Maynower will reach Boston early
tomorrow morning. After a short visit
to his home at Lowell Governor Allen Will
return to Porto RICO.

Senator Scott OF West Virginia is en-
thusiastic in support of the imperialistic
Chinese war policy. He is quoted as say
ing that If the President should convene
Congress, could he say that our Minister
at Pekin had been murdered? Certainly
not That fact can never be officially
learned until 1t is, reported by the late
Minister Conger himself over his own
post mortem signature. Could he say that
China is at war with us? Obviously, he
would have to assert the contrary. The
fact that our troops are fighting an organ
lied army at Tientsin, which is acting I'M
der orders from the imperial Government
at Pekin, does not constitute "a state of
war;" nor does the imperial edict of July
3, which declares war. Senator Scott, in
common with his trust and monopoly CO.
adjutors, thoroughly understands that
nothing does or could constitute "a state
of war" in China that would in any way
interfere with the front porch campaign
at Canton.

TIE OLD MAST HOUSE BURNED
A Destructive Fire Mt the Charles.
town Navy Yard.

a Destructive Fire Mt the Charles.
town Navy Yard.
BOSTON, July 1o.-One OF the most de-
structiye fires In the history Of the
Charlestown Navy Yard occurred shortly
before midnight tonight In the burning
Of the old mast house and its entire con-
tents. The building Is situated at the
extreme northern end Of the yard next
TO the Chelsea Bridge. II was 400 feet
long, go feet wide at the southern END.
and 100 feet wide on the Chelsea Street
end.
The blaze was discovered at 11:15 and
just as the fire burst through the roof the
wind shifted to the east and in less than
twenty minutes the entire structure was
blazing. The dremen. tackles, and ma
rines fought the flames from all sides. but
the intense heat prevented the men from
getting a good chance, ard when 1t was
seen the structure could not be saved they
were content to save the officers quarters
on the west side, and the Bunker Hill
Yacht Clubhouse on the east.
The building itself was an ancient one,
but the contents were Of value, particu-
iarly on account Of tho present activity in
naval circles. Rear Admiral Sampson said
he thought the IRE was caused by some one
smoking In the building. He could give no
estimate Of the damage. but several naval
constructors thought $250.e00 was low
figure.
The fire started in the extreme southern
end of the building. now used for storing
boats and barges. sentry en- post IL srw
flames issuing from that part, and immc-
diateiy sounded the yard alarm. crew
from the Hartford were the fIst on the
Scene. and fought the flames with buckets.
but without eject.
Upon ths arrival Of the apparatus a Gee
ond alarm yas ordered. and in few min
utes another alarm followed. The building
burned like dry! Shingles. and the dozens
OF streams that were poured upon The
flames seemed to have no effect.
Half an hour after the first alarm the
building was. completely Quilted. Little by
little the walls fell and at o'clock there
was nothing but great blazing pile Of
debris Every available sailor and marine
In the yard and aboard the ships at the
wharf was summoned into service. and
they did heroic work with the firemen.
There were seventy steam launches and
cutters in the house and every one of them
was destroyed.
The northern end OF the house was
used for target practice, while another
portion was the spar house. where the
topmasts and yards Of the Topeka were
being constructed. These too, we're de-
strcyed. The plans for the rfggIngs and
sails of the Topeka were saved by a sailor
who rushed into the burning building.
Among the barges were all Of the boats
used by the Olympia at Manila, Including
the barge which was personally used by
Admiral Dewey. The boat which was
saved from the Alabama by the crew Of
the old Kearsarge-in fact. the only thing
saved from that famous old warship-was
stored In the building and was destroyed.
