PLAGUE n HAVANA.

of yellow Fever There.

"a
HAVANA, Nov. - The case Of II.
V. Chilvers, the New Orleans electri-
clan who was taken to the Las Animas
fever hospital, has been diagnosed as
yellow fever.
The Spauiard who was stricken Sat
urday and isolated in the Clerks hos
pital died there last night
There are now two cases of yellow
fever at the Las Animals hospital and
one suspect a Spanish woman, who is
under observation.
Permission has been received from
the health authorities at New York to
ship the body of \. H. Outwater. who
died Saturday night, victim of the
fever, TO his former home at Passaic,
n. j.
The slight development of the so
called secondary cases has encouraged
the belief Of the yellow fever experts
that there will not be much of a
spread of the infection.
1t has developed that the opening OF
number of gases of electrical APP
paratus from New Orleans which were
consigned to firm in the Payret
theater building liberated many mos
quitocs. The first person to be attack
ed by yellow fever here was a member
of an opera company playing at the
Payret theater.
All of the other cases have originated
in this vicinity. and this gives color Ia
the theory that tho moSouitOcS from
New orleans carried the infection.

KURopArKIN's DaspAIRINo MESSAGE.
Lsconlc Report That Many Believe to Be the
Forerunuer of Surrender.

St. Petersburg. (By Cable)-"Friday
night all our armies commenced to re-
treat"
The greatest defeat in the history of
the Russo Japanese War was made
known in St. Petersburg Friday night,
but only in the paltry eight words from
General Kuropatkin to Emperor Mich
olas, which were flung about the streets
in newspaper extras and passed from
mouth to mouth. Two thoughts formed
instantly in the minds of everyone, and
two words were on every lip-Surrender,
peace-the former dreaded, the latter
hoped for.
General Kuropatkin is no maker of
phrases; his words never are quoted
like the famous ''All is lost save honor :"
but his laconic messages hide more than
probably any other two sentences in the
literature of war. St. Petersburg knows
nothing of the extent of the disaster );
not even the lines of Kuropatkin's re-
treat; whether the route to Tie Pass
is still open, whether he is endeavoring
to cut his way through to safety, or
whether, as many of the pessimistic be-
lieve, he has taken to the mountains. Il
it be the latter, he will inevitably be
hemmed in and starved into surrender,
as Marshal Bazaine was at Metz.
The dispatch has been studied as close
ly as was ever the most abstruse text
of Scripture over which dogmaticians
have wrestled, and from the words AL
our armies" the optimistic draw the de-
duction that the bulk of the Russian
forces got away clear, the commander
in-ctief sacrificing, however, the devoted
rear guard, who flung themselves as prey
to the Japanese wolves, who were clos
ing in on their trail, and sacrificing also,
it is conceded on every hand, the greater
part of his heavy artillery, especially the
siege guns and enormous quantities OF
supplies and munitions.
