THE price OF August cotton was
forced up to 90 cents pound ON the
New York exchange Monday by Il
bold band of specializing buccaneers,
in defiance of the recent indictments
of cotton gamblers. And with some
variations the price lowered in that
neighborhood most of the week. 1t
was the highest point reached since
1873, the reconstruction days, when
it sold for as high rs 81 cents. The
high figure of the raw material is OK
pected to result in rise in the price
of cotton manufactures. OF all kinds IN
the near future.

The special squadron, consisting OF
the cruisers, California, Colorado,
Pennsylvania and Washington, sailed
from Chimbote, Peru, for Valparaiso,
according to dispatches received at the
War Department today. The four
ships will represent the United States
at the centennial celebration at San
Diego, Chile. At the close Of the cele-
bration three of the ships will return to
Mare Island and the Washington will
continue her voyage around the horn OF
the Atlantic coast.
Army surgeons are on the alert to
suppress what appears to be an cpl
demic of typhoid fever which has
broken our in Company A OF the first
battalion OF Engineers ut Washington
Barracks. There are seven cases UNI
der treatment at the Walter Reed
Hospital and three suspects under
observation. The army surgeons are
watching the other men OF the COM
pany closely for symptoms. 1t is the
opinion Of The surgeons that the fever
was contracted by the men on the
march from the Gettysburg encamp-
mcnt. Two cases appeared within
eleven days after the arrival OF the
troops at the barracks.
Stating that Hinrichs is quarantined
only as y matter Of safety and precau-
ton. DR.. S. G. Cox, the ball players
physician, today issued complete de-
lial OF the story in circulation to the ef-
Jcct that grave doubts are entertained
for his recovery" Hinrichs was
stricken with infantile paralysis here
sometime ago after pitching only one
game for the Washington baseball
team. He came from California and
was considered good find" with a
brilliant future, by experts. "Hinrlchs'
condition is most encouraging" said
the doctor today, and although he
may never pitch ball again his recov-
cry in every other detail is almost a
certainty. Some think that the disease
is infectious and Hinrichs is only quar-
antned rs matter OF precaution, not
because his condition is most critical. "
Continuing the doctor said: 1t is prac-
tically impossible TO say when the
quarantine will be lifted. The effect
OF the disease as manifested upon Hin
richs is a contraction of the muscles III
the left leg. We have undertaken to
counterfeit this through systematic
massage treatment.
With all the government depart

EITHER HAND GOOD IN ARMY.

By formal action OF the War Depart
ment any doubt as to discrimination
against left-handed candidates for the
army has been removed. In prepar-
ing recently to make nomination for
West Point a congressman asked the
department il the fact that his nomi-
nee was left-handed would operate as a
bar to his admission to West Point.
As the question never before had
been raised, the surgeon general OF the
army was asked for an opinion on the
subject. That official reported that a
left handed cadet may not properly be
considered as physically disqualified. 1t
is considered as certain that there have
been cadets ut West Point who were
left handed, but this fact seems never
to have occasioncd comment. They
probably acquired the use of the right
hand, so essential to the uniformity Of
movement necessary in military organ

Madrid, Sept. 5.-Barcelona is in the
grip OF 4 general strike today. No
newspapers are published, street cars
are tied up and business is at q stand
still. The government fears that the
strike there will result seriously and is
preparing TO reinforce the garrison. 1t
is feared the Barcelona strike may be
extended all over Spain, though the
collapse OF the Bilbao general strike
and the Saragossa strike has given rise
TO the belief that the threatened nation
wide strike will be short lived even if
disastrous. At Bilbao only the miners
remain on strike.

SERIOUS CONDITIONS In ITALY
Thousands of Persons Starving-Unem-

Il
ployed and Desperate Clash with
Military.
Milan, Sept. 5.-Virtual martial law
prevails today in Barletta, the centre of
the Italian cholera zone, as the result
of Yesterdays clash between several
thousand starving and unemployed
people and the military. Driven to
desperation by the rigid rules since the
cholera outbreak, mobs broke through
the military cordons, stormed the town
hall and invaded the hospitals. The
wrath of the people was directed chiefly
against the doctors and many were
forced to flee.
When reinforcements arrived, q
pitched battle ensued. Some thirty
soldiers we're wounded, several being
shot, when the commander gave the
order to charge with bayonets. This
resulted in clearing the streets, though
score or more Of the rioters were
seriously injured.
Men, women and children engaged
in the fight. Fifty of the ring leaders
were arrested.
The disorder was the elimination of
series OF alleged abuses froth which
the people have suffered. Since the
cholera outbreak, the importation and
sale of vegetables and other fresh foods
has been practically prohibited. Peo-
pie suffered for drinking water, the au-
thorities shutting off all supplies not
known to be free from infection. These
hardships, added to the long standing
labor depression and the eviction OF
thousands for failure to pay extortlon-
ate rents, worked the populace into 4
frenzy. Had reinforcements not ar
rived, it is believed the mobs would
have wrecked the city.
The government has promised to in
vcstigate the complaints OF the people.
Hundreds are now living in caves.
