A report on cholerai conditions in
New York was made by Sergeant Gen
eral Wymau of the Marine Hospital
Service, to Assistant Secretary Hilles,
Treasury, today. Wyman said that
the situation of New York was not
dangerous, but every possible precau-
ton was being exercised to prevent the
disease securing a foothold in thi:
country. Every steerage passenger
from Italy or Russia will be subject, he
said. to an individual examination.
Cabin passengers would be closely
observed but would not be subject tC

The first official advices since the
revolt in Portugal were received at the
State Department today in wireless
dispatch from United States Minister
Henry T. Gage from Lisbon dated
a. IN. October 5, as follows: Fight

legation. Many loyalist soldiers have
surrendered. Some forts and most o
the public buildings are flying the hal
Of the republic. 1t has been reported
to me that the king of Portugal ha:
been taken aboard the Brazilian war.
ship Sac Paulo, and that a proclama-
ton has been issued declaring the
Inauguration of the republic" No dis.
patches have been sent by the State
Department to Minister Gage. The
department will remain inactive until
affairs have settled down in Lisbon. Nc
significance is attached by Washington
diplomats to the call OF the Spanish
minister in Lisbon upon the newly pro.
claimed heads of the government. This
in no way binds the Spanish govern.
ment to any recognition of the de factC
rights of the new government. The
fact that the Spanish minister wore his
full dress uniform it is said was simply
for protection as he passed through the
streets where the riots were occurring
1t is a common practice for minsters.tt

The first step opening the fight Of the
Bucks Stove and Range Company
against the American Federation o
Labor before the Supreme Court wa'
taken today by the attorney for the com
pany in filing a brief in the case which
is TO be heard within short time. Th'
brief that the Court OF Appeals OF thu
District of Columbia erred in severa
ways in narrowing the scope Of th,
original injunction rendered agains
Samuel Gompers and other labor leader
preventing them from boycotting tn,
stove company. The attorneys hol(
that the Injunction should have beer
drawn against the American Federation
OF Labor instead Of the officers OF tina
organization and that il should apply Il
primary as secondary boycotts. Thi
case does not involve the jail sentence
against the labor leaders and it is salt
that the recent settlement of difference
between the unions and the stove com
.,anies will not have any affect upoI
