DEADLY FEVER IN CUBA.
American Medical Authorities Asked
to Help.

to Help.
New York, Sept. 2.-Menaced by
disease which has baffled the best
medical skill of the island, the health
department officials of Cuba have APP
piled to the authorities of Columbia
university and Jefferson Medical col
lege of Philadelphia for aid in deter
mining the nature of the disease.
The most eminent physicians of
those institutions are working in con.
junction with the medical authorities
of the marine hospital and public
health department of the United
States government in an effort to de-
termine the nature of the disease. All
details of the investigation are re-
fused.
The disease in many of the symp-
toms resembles bubonic plague, but it
is said to be more swift in its progress
and more deadly in its effects.
It first appeared some months ago
in the isolated town of Daiquiri, prov
ince of Santiago. Men employed in the
iron mines in that locality were af-
fected. The disease did not yield to
the treatment, and the mortality was
greater than In yellow fever or any
kindred diseases.
The inhabitants become panic
stricken, and an American steel COM
pany, with large interests there, took
up the matter. Reference to the New
York and Philadelphia experts fol-
lowed.
The description of the disease fur
,nished by the Cuban physicians shows
the worst symptoms of yellow fever,
black fever and spotted fever. The
patient is usually dead a few hours
after first complaining of illness and
turns a bright yellow after death. It
is in the death that the disease pre-.
sents its most horrible phase. The
victims pulse rate rushes to $50,
heart beat which is deemed almost i'm
possible by physicians of experience.
The respiration counts So. These or
ganic disturbances, together with
temperature Of 107 and I10S, do not
cause instant death, but the high
fever generated soon burns out life.
The disease always attacks persons
who have suffered from intermittent
malarial fever. y.

KILLED IN SALOON.
Former Marshal Blackburn 10 Shot by
Marshal Reuther.

Burlington, Sept david Black
burn, ex.marshal Of Donnellson, Iowa,
was shot and killed yesterday by Town
Marshal Ed. Ruether. Blackburn was
in saloon drunk. Marshal Reuther
went in and attempted to arrest him.
Blackburn refused to go, saying, "You
can't arrest me-" Thereupon Reuther
drew his revolver and shot Blackburn
five times in the heart, killing him In
stantly. Blackburn was not armed, but
was very much larger man than
Reuther, and it is believed the latter
shot because he was afraid of the in
toxicated man. The five shots entered
the mans body over the heart within
radius of two inches. any one OF
them would have been fatal. Reuther
was placed under arrest by Mayor
Hent2er and taken to Fort Madison
for safe keeping. It Is said Blackburn
and Reuther were on ordinarily good
terms UP to the hour of shooting.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Secretary
Hitchcock yesterday heard arguments
ia a case involving the legality of en-
tries made by soldiers widows in the
interest Of cattlemen in western Ne
braska. The case is that Of Anna
Bowles, and involves the require
ments under section 1907 of the re.
vised statutes, governing the rights of
soldiers widows to make homestead
entries, particularly with reference to
the point as to whether the require.
ments include residence. The entry
woman in this case contends that resi-.
dence on the land entered is not nee.
essary. She also contends that hay-
ing an entry, she can lease the land or
make an agreement to sell on the com.
pletion Of her final entry. The com.
missioner of the general land Office re.
fused to concede these points. and
the case went before the secretary on
appeal. The land involved is in the

The Race.
Chicago, Sept. 4.-Mr. John Temple
Graves of Georgia, delivered an adj
dress on ".The Problem Of the Races"
before the forty-eighth convocadon Of
the University Of Chicago. He said
in part: s
"The prejudice Of race is a point
ing of Providence and the antagonist
of peoples is the fixed policy BY which
God peoples the different portions Of
the Universe and establishes the In
dividuality of the nations. The act3
that brought these people together
on this continent was sin OF the
father, a sin Of greed. q sin Of trade
and the sorrow and suffering OF thea
present is for the sin of the past
sin against nature and q sin against
God. The curse can be lifted only
when nature is indicated and God ~
obeyed. The problem will be solved l
only when the negro is restored %
the bounds of his habitation.
ut is neither impossible nor I'M
practicable. The elements are willing
and the way is in reach. This is not
a day of impossibilities. The hand
Of the Almighty is, steadily opening
the way.
1T may be that the islands OF tho !
sea were placed by Providence in our
keeping to furnish an answer to the
problem of the time. The negro Is On
accident, an unwilling, q blameless
but an unwholesome, unwelcome, help
less, unassimilable element In oul
civilization. He is not made for oul
times. He is not framed to share Y
the duty and destiny which he PEI

Let us give him a better chance thal
he has ever had in history and let V
have done with him. Let us SOW

Let us purify our politics of the 81
