YELLOW FEVER GERMS.
Experiments show that the Infection
Is PrOpagated by Mosquitoes.

Havana, Jan. 1O.-The American
commission which has been making
experiments at Quemados as TO the
propagation of yellow fever germs
by the mosquito has obtained eX-
tremely satisfactory results.
DR.. Reed says the experiments
show beyond doubt that there is
no contagion from an infected person
or from infected clothing, but that
the mosquitoes alone are responsible
for the spread of the disease. In
the course of the commissions inves.
legations six non-immune persons
were infected direct from the bite of
mosquitoes which had previously bit
ten yellow fever patients, and five of
these developed yellow fever.
The last experiment made proved
conclusively, DR.. Reed contends, the
theory of propagation by mosquitoes.
A special building was constructed
of disinfected material and one of
the rooms was divided into two Sec
tions by wire mosquito screen. In
one section were placed disinfectC /
bedding and clothing and in the 9TH
er bedding and clothing from the vel

occupied the two sections.
In the former were put several in
fected mosquitoes. The patient re-
mained in this room only long

Nalescent.
The other subject slept in the i'm
fected bedding for many nights and
has not contracted the fever.
Both patients had been sleeping
for 20 nights in garments worn by
yellow fever victims and in bedding
from the yellow fever hospital.
DR.. Reed says they are growing fat
and that, in no instance in the course
of the commissions Investigations,

THE BOER WAR.
Situation of the English Grows More
Critical. Instead of Better.

London, Jan. 1.-THE situation in
South Africa grows worse rather
than better. Lord Kitcheners dis
patches are more laconic than those
of Lord Roberts, and little else of
Importance is allowed to come
through.
The Times finds comfort in the
thought that the process of attri-
tion is doing it's work and must

In other quarters, however, there in

affairs, which has practically necessi-
tated the fertilization of Cape Town.
This mornings dispatches report
that small party of Beers carried
off cattle close to the east fort at
Pretoria. Nine hundred Beers, I'M

miles from Richmond, in the direc-
tion of Murraysburg.
The military commissioner of po-
lice at Johannesburg has warned the
public to beware of the dangers OF
dynamite mines laid in the Rand, as
the authorities cannot hold them
selves responsible for injuries result
ing therefrom.
Following is dispatch received

heavy fire continued until 3:40 a. m.
when the Beers were driven off. One
officer was killed and three were
wounded, while 20 men were killed
and 50 wounded. The loss of the
Beers was heavy, "a dead being
counted"
Five thousand Beers, supposed to
be trekking west from Nryburg,'
says the Cape Town correspondent
of the Daily Mail, ''are now making
their way into the heart of Cape Col

HIS BEER WAS DRUGGED.
A Priest Is Murd cred and Robbed by
Gang Of Philadelphia Thugs.

New York, Jan. 10.-Robert Bryan,
alias Sailor Bob" wanted in Phila-
delphia for completely in the murder
there on Friday night last of Rev.
Father Riegel, a prominent priest of
the Catholic church, was arrested in
this city last night.
Bryan has a saloon on North
Eighth street, Philadelphia. When
he was arrested last night he made
confession to Capt. Titus, of the de-
tective bureau, duplicating several
others, whose names were not di-
vulged.
The story told by Titus concerning
Bryan's confession is that on Friday
night last there went to Bryan's
place a man, whose name Bryan
gives, but which is withheld by Titus,
accompanied by three compa Mons,
one a priest, Rev. Father Riegel. The
latter was very much intoxicated.
The four men gave frequent orders
for beer, which the priest always in
sisted on paying for. Each time he
paid he displayed a large roll OF
bills.
He was so intoxicated that he
dropped bills on the floor. The men
struck his hands and made him drop
more. Bryan admits getting $40 in
that manner. and asserts that others
got more. This continued for some
time, when one of the men left the
room. He returned with a small
vial which Bryan says was filed with
laudanum and chloral which had
been purchased at nearby drug
store. Two glasses of beer were
poured out, one of which was
drugged.
Bryan says that after the priest
had taken the beer the man who
drugged it admitted he was going TO
rob the priest. Bryan then said
that he would not allow that in his
place and made them take the priest
out of the room. He says he know
nothing further about the affair until
Saturday morning, when he was told
that the body of the priest had been
found in the hallway of the house
next door. Bryan said that he be-
came frightened and left town.

THE RAILWAY OCTOPUS.
A Report from Chicago Says that Ex-
press Companies Will be Driven Out
of RunIness BY the Combine.

Chicago, Jan. 12.-The Record says:
Absolute control of the vast interests
of the nations express companies
may fall into the hands of the rail
road financial powers. Preliminary
steps toward such an object are said
to have been taken under the guild
ance of j. Pierpont Morgan. James j.
Hill and others who are figuring pro-
minently in the recently reported
railway deals, and the general
scheme has been outlined. The re-
port has it that the powers intend to
conduct the express business of the
country as a regular department of
railroad operation, strong provisions
being made to have all roads act in
harmony.
While nothing definite regarding
the plans is obtainable, it is claimed
to be the intention of the railroad of
ficerS TO refuse to renew contracts
with the companies where the re-
naming life of the contracts is not
long and to make outright purchases
of franchises where the contracts
still have long lives before them.
The express companies have contracts
ranging all the way from to 20
wears, and at the expiration of their
legal agreement they are at the
mercy Of the railroad companies.

The Asphalt Dispute.

Washington, Jan. 12.-The status
of the Venezuelan controversy has
not been improved by the latest ne
gotiations between the United States
and Venezuela and this government
has demonstrated against the deter

ties to take executive cognizance of
the asphalt rights, instead of leaving
them to the judicial branch. The
desire of this government has been
that the matter be left to the court
and it has sought to impress this
view upon the Venezuelan govern

The first public discussion of the
bill to establish a department of pub
lie instruction yesterday developed
contest on tie question of religion in
public schools. Interest centers in
the section permitting priests and
ministers to teach religion for half
an hour three times weekly. outside
of school hours, provided the parents
express a written desire for such in
struction, and prohibiting teachers
from conducting religious exercises
or teaching religion. The directors
of the federal party were represented
by committee. who although Catho-
lies, argued strongly in favor of the
elimination of the section. They de-
clared that the use of the school
house for religious purposes is con-
trary to the United States constitu-
tion and also to the platforms of the
American parties and the Philippine
federal party, and is certain to cause
discord.
Representatives of the Central
Catholic society, who appeared in be-
half of permitting religious instruc-
tion in the schools, asked time for
the preparation of reply and were
given until Monday.
Judge Taft said the attitude of the
United States Philippine commission
