In this city despite rigorous measures

DR.. Guiteras, in his house to house

The daughter of the Mexican boiler
maker, Juan Cortinas; who died of the

died of the disease.
This city now presents dead ap-

1t is estimated by the authorities that
nearly 1900 people have fed from here
since the beginning of the yellow fever

WINN|PFCGERS EASY
FOR KELLEY MEN
Saints Bunch Hits on Pitcher
Bemis and Maroon Errors
Do the Rest.

After the exhibition of ball playing
given at Lexington park yesterday aft
ernoon some $500 people who paid
their way into the grounds are thor
oughly convinced that the pennant
winners of the American association
and the pennant winners of the North
ern league are in two distinct classes.
The game went to the Saints, but the
victory contained little glory for the
Kelley tribe. whose runs We're mostly
due to the errors of the Winnipeg
bunch, and not to any particular effort
on the part of the Saints, who played
in a listless and uninteresting manner,
winning simply because their oppo-
nents were no match for them. Score 8
to 3.
st. Paul started the run getting in
the second, when Higgins touched Mr..
Bem1s for a safe one, stole second, and
later scored on Peirces single. In the
sixth the Saints scored again when Be
mis- gave Higgins a base on balls and
allowed Flournoy and Peirce to hit safe.
But the fireworks came in the sew
enth, and when the smoke of battle had
been shoveled away it was all off with
the Canadians SO far as any chance to
win was concerned.
jackson was the first man up, and
before the inning was over he was
called upon TO bat again. BY a conbi-
nation of three errors wild pitch. two
t~o-base hits, four singles and a sacri-
nee, the Saints succeeded in getting six
men all of the distance and cinching
the game. 1t was like getting money
from home, for when Saint failed to
MT for one or two bases the young men
from across the border were busy
throwing the ball away or assisting the
Saints in some other manner to get as
many runs as possible. After this in
ming there was no more run getting by
the Saints.
Winnipeg secured the three tallies
credited to them by making two in the
fourth and another in the ninth. Bailey
allowed Annis to walk and Quillan hit
Tor single Randall bunted and Bailey
IN his attempt to cut Annis off at third,
threw wild and both Annis and Quillan
scored. In the ninth, with one out.
Rose hit safe and was advanced to
third by O'Dea's single, scoring on
Geier's error at third. Mullane struck
out and Bemis ended the game by hit
ting an easy fly to Higgins. The score:

PENNSYLVANIA MINE
WORKERS MAY STRIKE
Soft Coal Combination Must Meet
Scale or Men Will Walk Out.

ALTOONA, Pa, Sept. 27.-President
Patrick Gilday, of District No. 2. Unit
I'd Mine Workers, is authority for the
statement that strike of the $4,000
miners employed by the Pennsylvania
Coal and Coke company, the newly
formed soft coal coordination in the
Central Pennsylvania field, is threat
ened. He has given the officials until
Oct. 3 to agree to carry out the pro-
visions of the Altoona scale Failing
to do SO, he Will order a strike. The
Pennsylvania company operates more
than forty mines in the Central Penn
sylyania coal fields. Men formerly
prominent in the anthracite region
control 1t. Thomas Watkins, who was
member of the anthracite arbitra-
ton commission, is large stockholder
and vice president. w. A. Lathrop,
formerly with the Lehigh Valley rail-
road, is the president. President Gil
day asserts that the company has for
some time refused to pay yardage at
It's Amsbry, Cambria county, mines,
where the union is not strong, and that
1t seeks to establish al precedent, which
will disrupt the wage agreement.
Realizing that the fight in this iso-
lated point would be a failure, Gilday
says he has notified the company that
unless it pays yardage at it's Amsbry
mines he will close every property un-
der the management of the company
on Oct. 8. 81
He says the union has plenty of
money to carry on the fight, and is in
a position to close every mine until

SOFIA, Sept. 27.-Pathetic dignity
and the utmost peacefulness character
lied the Macedonian demonstration
here today. After the celebration of
requiem in the cathedral, which was
crowded, $4,000 Macedonians and their
sympathizers Joined in procession
which marched through the principal
streets of the city. Bands played fu-
neral marches and carried aloft were
black flags and black framed pictures,
representing the dead leaders of the
movement, burning villages, etc.
Outside the cathedral, Michailovski,
the president of the Macedonian organ
izations, addressed the demonstration.
Other speakers also urged the mainte-
nance of peaceful conduct A COM
mittee of three was appointed as a DEL
egation to call on Premier Petroff and
ask him whether the government would
help the Macedonians.
Prince Ferdinand after going to
church this morning, did not return to
the palace but departed unexpectedly
for his hunting box at KoStenetz. His
departure is much commented on and
is thought not to be unconnected with
rumors of an intention On the part of
the processionists to demonstrate in
the garden of the palace. 1t is reported
that the Turks are building forts

LONDON, Sept. 2S.-A dispatch from
Sofia to the Times says that a docu-
ment, purloined from Hilmi Pasha's
archives and which has fallen into the
hands of one of the consuls, gives in
formation of the wholesale extermina-
ton carried out in Macedonia. It re-
cords that ninety-three villages have
been destroyed in the vilayet of Mon
astir alone, and that the total number
destroyed reaches Ill. Reports from
other reliable quarters represent that
a much larger number of villages has
been destroyed.
While there is little fresh news this
morning from the Balkans, it appears
from the dispatches received here that
both Turkey and Bulgaria are active
ly preparing for the possibility of war.
The correspondent of the Daily Mail
at Monastir comments on the skillful
disposition of the Turkish troops for
delivering a quick blow against either
Servia or Bulgaria. There are 10000
soldiers in the vilayet of Kossovo,
