Question of Raising Quarantine.

Washington. June 22.--SuTgeon Gen eral Wyman has under advisement the question of raising the quarantine on passengers from Cuba destined for points north of the Southern Maryland boundary line. A recommendati that the quarantine be rasied is made in an official cablegram received today from Surgeon Glenusn in charge at Havana. z The reports from throughout the island are satisfactofy and show a general absence of yellow fever. The Louisiana State Board of Health, how ever, has taken firm stand agatlaEt relaxing the restrictions and has de- nlanded the disinfection of all baggage and dunnage received from Cuban points. Nom immune passengers from Cuba now are held at quarantine at New York, a sufficient period to make a total of five days from Cuba. which Is the period of incubation of yellow fever. Surgeon Glennan proposes to discontinue this detention of usually a day and a half in quarantine.

The night clerk recognized the young man as the one who registered as Adelbert $. Hay. There was considerable ex- citement about the hotel.

Dr. Bartlett. the Medical Examiner, stated that Mir. Hay probably came to his death by accident. The clothes on the bed had been turned. showing his intention to so to bed His clothes had been folded. On the ledge of the win dow was found a partly burned cigar fette. This discovery leads to the be- lief that Hay had lighted cigarette before retiring and went to the window to smoke 1t. Whether he was seized with a fit of dizziness or fell asleep on the window ledge cannot be deter mined.
 There are no external injuries. Med- ical Examiner Bartlett stated that the death was accidental.
 Hay arrived at the hotel about c o'clock Saturday night, and was as- signed to room 47. located in the front of the hotel. third story. directly over the main entrance.

The wind was not high except in the contract swept like tornado from McKee's Rocks through Allegheny @ portion of the east end of PittsburK, on to Wilmerding and Turtle Creek. Three lives are known to have been lost.

Charles Marcus. an italian. who was working in a sewer when the rain came, was drowned. 1t Is supposed as he was swept off his feet and probably carried though to the river
 Great damage was done in the two cities and suburbs east. but nothing like accurate figures can be given tonight. Conservative estimates place the loss at $s00, ,0e0 The tornado, when it reached Allegheny, struck the grand stand of the ball park and carried away bodily 150 feet of that structure and moved from it's foundation the entire stand. Great stand were carried from POO to 300 feet. lodging on the roofs of houses. Two beams ploughed through the roof of a house on Robinson Street, going from the garret to the first floor. carrying away a portion of the bed in which James Williamson was asleep It is a miracle that no lives were lost in Allegheny. In the Butchersrun district the famous flood of 1874 was outdone. except in the loss of life Fortunately, today the inhabitants of that district anticipated the trouble and escaped before their houses were flooded.
 Going eastward. the storm did damage which amounts to thousands of dollars.
 At East Pittsbiirg Turtle Creek was higher than ever known, but the people along its banks were warned l' time. The entire business portion of the town ot Turtle Crock ts under water tonight.
