MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY STUDENT HAS
MYSTERIOUS DISEASE.
Unconfirmed Report 1t Is the Bubonic
in Bitter Root Valley.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, April ga student
of Michigan whose name is withheld was
taken to the pesthouse from the University
Contagious Disease Hospital to-day, and II
is said that he has a mild attack of the
bubonic plague. The case was under the
care o. DR.. Dock and 1T was by his order
that the patient was removed to the pest
house DR. Frederick Novy. the expert on
this disease, who recently made trip
to San Francisco on behalf Of the govern
ment TO investigate the alleged plague
cases there, has been called in consulta-
ton. but declines TO state positively that
the student is afflicted with the dread
plague. He says that further tests must
be made to ascertain the exact nature OF
the disease affecting the student, which at
present mystifies the attending physicians.
Professor Novy says there is no dam
ger of a spread if it is the bubonic plague
and is inclined TO avoid a discussion of
the subject.

HARD FIGHTING REPORTED.
Many Chinese Said to Have Been
Killed by Russians

BERLIN, April Ga dispatch TO the
Cologne Gazette from ST. Petersburg says:
Hard fighting is reported to have oc-
CURED between the First, Second and Third
East Siberian rifle regiments and several
thousand Chinese troops between Kobantsy
and Synmnting. The Russians lost a cap
tain and several men killed. and lieuten-
ant colonel, several other officers and many
men wounded. The Chinese lost heavily
and retreated, with the Russians pursuing
them The date of the engagement is not
mentioned in the dispatch"
Another dispatch from st. Petersburg
says: The newspapers here aver that the
-oreign powers and not Russia are respon-
sible for the continued occupation Of Man
churia. The Viedomosti says it is quite i'm
possible for Russia to withdraw without
some guaranty that order will be preserved
on her frontier, adding: Russia does not
intend to be left in the far East at the dis
advantage she was placed under in the
near East twenty-three years ago. The
Rossiya admits that Russia tried to ar
range plans for the withdrawal OF her
troops and that this was thwarted by near
ly the whole OF Europe, and she must con-
tinue in the unpleasant position of occupy
ing Manchuria. "

AN EDITOR ARRESTED
CUBAN sOREHEAD WHO PRINTED AN
INSULTING CARICATURE.
Represented the CrucinxiOn Scene,
with President Mckinley and Gen.
Wood as the Two Thieves.

HAVANA April 6.-The Discussion has
been suppressed by order of Governor Cen
eral Wood and it's offices have been closed
and sealed This action was due TO the
publication in the Discussion yesterday of
an illustration having the title of THE
Cuban Calvary" representing the Cuban
public personified in a Cuban soldier being
crucifed between two thieves, General
Wood being represented as one thief and
President Mckinley as the other, both be-
ing labeled with their names. Senator
Platt was represented as a Roman soldier
giving vinegar and gall in the form of the
Platt amendment. while public opinion, as
Mary Magdalene, was weeping at the foot
of the cross Below was the following in
scription Destiny will not reserve for us
a glorious resurrection The picture
caused much unfavorable comment yester-
day from the standpoint of decency. The
editor of the paper. Senor Coronado, was
arrested, but was released on bail.
Senior Capote, president of the Cuban
constitutional convention, later visited Gen.
Wood and told the latter that the conven-
ton individually, and as body, regretted
the publication of this carioature. Senor
Capote said the picture misrepresented the
feelings of the Cubans. who held General
Wood and President Mckinley in the great
est respect and were greatly grateful to
them. On his intercession General Wood
allowed the Discussion to continue pub
lication.
Editor Coronado and Castellanos. the CAR
toonist. will be tried on charge of GRIM

bond and the latter in the sum of $500.
The constitutional convention to-day re-
jected the propositions Of Senores Quilo and
Giberga regarding the Platt amendment.
The report of the committee on relations
and the proposition Of Senor Nunez were
left on the table until the question of send
ing a commission 10 Washington shall have

vention is being held tonight. at which the
question of sending a commission to Wash

ing the Bridgeport Trust Company ad-
ministrators OF the estate of the deceased,
was filed this afternoon. and contains an
attack on the court in making the appoint
ment, which has created a sensation In
legal circles. The sensational feature Of

TO the claims and representations of the
representatives and emissaries of said
trust company, made 10 1t secretly and
without the consent of. and in the alb

PEKING. April 6.-The meeting Of the
generals of the allied troops and Count
Won Waldersee this morning was Of great
interest and Importance. Though IL was
known beforehand what had practically
been decided upon. still the meeting showed
conclusively the attitude of the different
powers The only dissentients from the
plan adopted were General Chaffee, the
American commander. and General Wo-
gack, commander OF the Russian forces
who both thought the number of points
10 be occupied was excessive and also that
the number OF troops was too great The
other generals were unanimous I'm the opin-
ION that nine points on the railway should
be occupied between Picking and Shan-H Hal
Kwan with six thousand men, exclusive
OF the two thousand IN Peking. This will
be permanent measure, while the reduc-
tion OF the present forces will be made
according TO the wishes of the respective
governments. The railway between Pao-
TingFu and Pekng will not be guarded
it not being a line of communication with
the sea.
General Chanee suggested that it was
only necessary to occupy two points be-
+ween Yangt-Sun and Tien-Tsin and three
between Tien-Tsin and Shan-Hai-Ilwan
with total of two thousand men. exclu-
sive og those at Peking. 1t was not neces-
sary. he said. to have soldiers at Tong
ku. as naval vessels were always there
and also because the reliefs would always
be passing backward and forward General
Wogack thought one thousand men would
be sufficient for occupying Tien-Tsin and
Shan -Hai-Kwan.
The views OF the majority will be pre-
tiOn, as the generals feel that the ac-
ceptance by the Chinese of these terms,
including the total destruction of the forts
at -Hai-Kwan. Pei-Tang. Taku. Tong
Ku, Pei-Tsan and Yang-Tsun, will mean
complete submission, when arrangements
ought to be made for the withdrawal of
a majority of the forces from China.

PRESIDENT Is PLEASED.
Russia's Action REGARDED as Evidence
of Good Faith.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The determina-
tion Of the Russian government not to

gun some time ago with the Chinese gov
ernment in regard to Manchuria has nat
urany given great qualification TO the gov
ernmcnt of the United States. The Presi-
dent is understood TO recognize in this act
of the Car another proof of his sincere
regard for the harmony with the powers
now engaged in negotiations in China and
his determination to do nothing 10 impede
the speedy and satisfactory conclusion OF
these negotiations. In his view il is an act
worthy OF the enlightened sovereign who
initiated the conference of The Hague.
The government OF the United States is
specially gratihed by this termination of

stantly in harmony with that OF Russia
with regard 10 all the main points of our
policy in China. III is the belief generally
entertained in government and diplomatic
circles in Washington that no motive can
be assigned for this resolution except the
desire TO preserve the concert or powers.
as II was clearly within the discretion of
Russia TO pursue whatever course that
government thought best for its interest,

General Young at the Great Northern
Hotel to-day. 1.-The first named is distinct
ly military in it's character and numbers
among its members the real leaders of the
insurrecton. The second is civil and en-
braces every native in the islands who is in
sympathy with the rebel cause. The Sec
ond secures funds. provisions and arms for
the first and informs its members OF all
movements of the United States troops.
The influence of these two organizations is
widespread, and our means of approaching
the prime movers are limited. The utmost
secrecy governs the work of all these soci-
eties. They are crafty, skillful, and, we
have found TO our cost, treacherous Their
hatred of our people is as bitter as 1t is
groundless, and, In my opinion. the quick

them from their prejudices, is by means of
American colonization of the islands"

TEXT OF IDENTICAL NOTE.
Communication Which Russia Sent to
All the Leading Nations.

LONDON. April ga dispatch from St
Petersburg says il is learned from a trust
worthy source that Russia's diplomatic
agents abroad were instructed on April 3
10 communicate TO the governments to
which they are accredited an identical note
IN the same terms as that presented by
Count Cassini (the Russian minister in
Washington 10 Secretary Hay.
The text of the identical note. as IL ap-
pears from news which has come to hand.
IS as follows: THAT. in the present cir
cumstances, a special agreement in the
Manchurian affair. instead of being an
open testimonial of friendly sentiments
on the part Of Russia towards China, might
entail various difficulties for the neighbor-
ing states Russia does not in any way iu-
sist upon the conclusion OF any such agree
ment, and even abandOns all possible ne
gotiations in this matter. Inasmuch as the
imperial government ever adheres faith
fully TO its original and oft-repeated pro-
gramme. it will quietly await the further
course Of events"

DAY 10 Secretary Hay. A simple calcula-
uon assures them that the japanese could
not nave known of the last note when
the belligerent publications. were made in
Japan. 1t is therefore believed when the
tenor OF the note is learned and the Jap
anese find that she proposed secret treaty
mas been abandoned they will accept the
situation with satisfaction. Sooner or
later this note is sure to find publicity.
Tor II is necessary to make up the record
OF the case, but the time is not now aus
picious.
No doubt is entertained here that the
secret treaty is no longer TO be feared, and
already attention is being directed to the
next step. The ministerial council at Pc
king is believed 10 have temporarily sus-
pended meetings. and the Manchurian prob
lem is the sole object OF interest at pres
ent, so far as China is concerned. The
suggestion has been made that Russia,
having established the correctness of her
intentions TO Manchuria the powers
shall meet her half way in her reforma tory
movement and undertake to assist her in
securing the assent of China for the adop-
ton OF such precautionary measures as
may be necessary TO safeguard what are
recognized by them as purely Russian in
terests In that province. In that case,
and such a suggestion may come from
the United States, there would be nothing
more required than a straightforward and
open statement by Russia of the conditions
sought TO be laid down, and with recog-
nized uprightness OF purpose behind these,
the powers. II is believed, would surely give
