NO CASE OF YELLOW
FEVER In HAVANA

Havana, April 1--For the first time
in the history of Havana the month
of April begins without a single case
of yellow fever in the city. Major Cor
gas, chief sanitary officer, is confident
that with the sanitary measures now
being enforced. and the valuable infor-
nation gained during the recent inves-
LEGATIONS of the yellow fever commits
sion, there will be but few cases dur
ing the coming season. The marine hos
pital service is also taking precau-
tionS against the bringing of infection
into Havana from Mexican or other
ports Dr. Glennon, chief surgeon, has
issued orders for q quarantine against
these ports beginning April Is.
1t is thought that many cases in Ha-
vana last year were brought from Vera
Cruz, which is only two days sail from
Havana Hereafter passengers from
Vera Cruz viii be obliged to remain
in quarantine for three days Com
Portable quarters are being fitted out
near the immigrant station at Cabanas.
The immigrant station is used only as
temporary quarters for immigrants
who have no employment on arriving
here.
Immigrants are now being kept iso-
lated until employment is secured for
them, and then they are shipped direct
into the country. The number OF vel
low fever cases in Havana has de-
creased wonderfully since these precau-
tionS were taken.
A regular station was built by the
Spsniards at Mariel- It is considered
one of the best in the marine hospital
service and .wili be retained by the

FINDINGS ON DEATH
OF CADET BO0Z

Washington. April 1.-The findings of
the military court of inquiry which in
vestigated the treatment alleged to
have been accorded to the late Oscar L.
Booz, a former cadet at West Point
military academy, have been made
public at thes war department. The
findings of the military court are
summed up in a letter written to Sec
port. The letter says;
The findings of this court of inquiry,
which are sustained by the evidence,
show that the statements which led to
the converting of the court, to the effect
that former Cadet Oscar l.. BooZ came
to his death by reason of injuries re-
ceiVed by haZing at the academy, were
not true. They show that at the time
Cadet BoOz was a member Of the acad-
envy hazing was prevalent there to a
deplorable extent; that the present off,
GERS of the academy have shown com
nendable energy, zeal and efficiency in
detecting and furnishing offenses of this
character, and that they greatly de-
creased the practice and improved the
public sentiment among the cadets up
on the subject.
The testimony and findings of the
court were placed in the hands of the
committee of congress charged at about
the same time with the Investigation of
the subject, and the very efficient and
beneficial action of that committee. fol-
lowed by the legislation upon the SUBJ
Ject, contained in the act of March ..
1901, renders further action by the de-
partment unnecessary

States circuit court of appeals today
Judge Gilbert handed down an import
ant opinion in the case of the Wilder
Steamship company, an Hawaiian. cor
poration, vs.. Geo. L. Hind and others,
appellants. The question presented was
whether this court had jurisdiction to
entertain an appeal from the supreme

REVISION OF CREED.
DR. Talmage Talks of Possible
Change in Presbyterianism.

Knoxville Tenn, April 1.-The Rev.
T. Dewitt Talmage. who is here today,
was asked his opinion as to the pro
POSED revision of the Presbyterian
creed. He said.
My own firm belief is that the work
VIII not be done by a committee When
the time is ripe, some one of our great
men-a man of heart and brains-wilI
step forward and read the simple arti-
Gle of what We now believe. When it
comes. 1t will fire the hearts of men like
a flame and will be adopted instantly
/ hardly think things will be ripe
enough for this at the next general as
sembly. There are a number of our
great men who are as fully competent
to prOmulgate a creed as was John Cal
vim. Any creed that leaves in doubt
the salvation of Infants or prescribes
them for damnation is defective. There
is one clause in our creed which 1 can
not quote verba tim. but which is to the
erect that the destiny of every member
OK the human race was settled ages ago
and no matter or belief or works such
as this or that Individual can do can
change ii as regards himself. Such a
creed is too 0CeD.''

LOOMS COMING TO
CONFER WITH HAY
viii Explain His Standing With
Venezuelan Government.
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE
ACCUSED BY NEWSPAPERS OF
MISUNDERSTANDING AFFAIRS.

washington, April 1.-The future of
Minister Loomis depends upon the con-
ference which will be held at the state
department between Secretary Hay and
himself when the minister reaches this
city. Until the secretary has had an
opportunity to talk freely with Mr..
zuelk it cannot be known positively
whether or not he viii return to his
post.
Mr. Loomis has been the object Of
bittf attacks by some of the Venezue-
Ian sl,apers, not solely because of
'the aeraalt controversy, but also be-
cause ~ was charged with makiT,S
false reports to his government touch
ing the insurrectionary movement in
Venezuela. The minister did inform
the state department of the conditions
as he saw them and of the prospects
of the revolutionary movement. The
Venezuelan government could not have
direct knowledge of the minister's re-
port, but because they were followed by
the appearance of three United States
warships in Venezuelan waters, they
came to the. conclusion that the minis
ter had reported as very menacing and
serious revolutionary movements which
the government organs were trying
their best to minimize. Therefore these
Mr.. LOOMS in print, and have succeed
ed in making his lot unpleasant.
1t is only fair to state that the Ven
eZuelan charge here asserts positively
that these attacks were made by ire
sponsible newspapers and that the gov
ernraent was not behind them and dep
recated them. If Mr.. LOomis confirms
this view. and he cares to return to
Caracas, he will be permitted to do SO.
1t is expected that Minister LOOMS
will reach New York April 10, for the
gunboat Scorpion was despatched
to Laguayara especial TO make
sure that he should connect at Kings
ton, Jamaica, with the regular passen-
ger steamer coming to New York.
There is no present intention of send
ing the North Atlantic squadron to
Venezuela, for, as above stated, the
government cannot decide how this
matter should be treated until Mr..
LOOmis has been personally consulted.
The squadron which is at Culebra ISL
and engaged in maneuvreS is about to
head north in a few days. One or two
of the vessels will be sent first TO
Kingston, Jamaica, but the delay will
be temporary, and the whole squadron
viii soon be under way for TOmpkins-
vile.
It was decided that in the interest of
a quick passage to the United States
Mr.. Loomis should be carried by the
Scorpion to San Juan, Porto Rico, there
to take one of the regular merchant
steamers for New York. The officials
did not know positively when the min
lister would leave Venezuela, but at the
navigation bureatl9it was stated that
there was NO good reason why the Scor-
pion should not sail today from La
guayaT-a if Mr.. LOOMS is on hand.
