NHW rmLRAN'd. Scpl. 17.-Special ( Cor-
rrcpomUmc ) The situation In this city Is
not nrarly as bad a * those on tliu outside
nJght bo d.sposed to Imagaic , judging from
thc Inflamnmtory reports that it Is well kuouii
creep out of New Orleans by Iho means ot
"occasional correspondents" and others who
In a measure have become panic stricken
over thc present presence of jtllow : fever
In the Crescent city.
It would be thc sheerest folly for any one
to attempt to deny but that the cltl/cns or
Now Orleans arc seriously concerned In thc
face of the present emergency , but that there
Is the slightest approach to a panic la a
lie made out of the whole cloth and a yard
wide.
It would be equally absurd to deny that
there were not others who , to their discredit
bo It s Id arc trjlng to cmbariass the picscnt
city uxLCUtlvc and State Hoard of Health ana
make qnostlnnablo political capital over the
inanlfol I complex conditions that arc pre
senting thcmsi'hi'S all the tltno before the
regular constituted authorities
Tim actual facts of the case ut this writing
are' That there Is yellow fever In this
city ; 11.at the rate of mortality Is about
14 per cent , and that It Is all the tlmu
slightly on the Increase , There are many
la ) men nnd some few doctors in the city
who dtclaio In thc most positive mannci
that the present fever Is not the old Unit-
"Yellow Jack , " but rather a fever of pro
nounced malarial features. However , It Is
absurd for laymen to set themselves up an
Judges In a matter bo momentous , when
ntxirly all reputable loc.il physicians assert
In the most positive manner that thu pruv-
alent disease Is one of yellow fever.
Hiiually Is It true that all physicians de
clare that the fever henis In a type ot the
mildest proportions and such that disarms
It of more than half of Its terrors. In thb
epidemic of 187S sl\ty hours was the average
time for dissolution to .set In , and such a
thing us .a | Mtient dragging on for days and
days was unheard of. All-doctors now cn-
gagrd In the care of those aflllcted by the
fever say that while the situation is one
ot much public concern , there Is not thc
remotest icason for any one to lose hl
head
STATi : nOAUD WORKS HARD.
It ought to bo lecordcd that the State
Hoard of Health Is doing Its level best to
fctamp out the disease. This body may have
too much ot the politico-medico attached to
It to satisfy borne , but there Is no doubt
as to the sincerity ot action that actuates
all of tlu > members In the present emergency
The board , individually and collectively , Is
working lllcu beavers and deserve unstlntea
praise
Two inclJcnts came about jcttcrday that arc
calculated to harrass thu law-abiding anil
piogiob tvo citizens of New Orleans , One
is , that In the face ot the action ot the Texan
authorities , New Orleans , as a gateway from
cast to west , li now practically shut out , and
the other Incident is the buinlng last night
ot thu school house on Canal street by a mob
of hoodlums belonging to Iho Third ward.
The action ot the Texai Hoard of Health
was to be apprehended for home dajs , su
that the commercial disaster has not caused
the vvldo spread consternation that might
otherwise have been felt. The Southern 1'a-
clflc company had no other course open to
adopt , and It was with manifest reluctance
that the first of the company's steamers was
ordered to gu to Galvo ton.
Respecting the burning ot the school
house , the facts aio theseIt was found
Imperative that a fever hospital , separate
from the Clnrlty hospital , be established.
Several bli s wcn > suggested , but the Ueauru-
gard school on Canal street , distant fiom the
city hall t least two mllcM and located hi a
very thinly populated localltj , would about
aurvo the purpose. The school vvus formerlj
a private residence and Ho private grounds
taKe In a wiiolu block or iquare , M > that thu
proposed hospital would In every sense of
the term be Isolated. 1'hjslclans and nurses
nml S'laers of Charity were jcslerday scut
out to the building to m.iKe all the neces
sary preparations for the reception of thc
patleiitu , biu thu hoodlums mustered In force ,
literally drove the surgeons , nursis and sis
ters off the premises and at midnight delib
erately set lire to the building. The hood
lums wanted to make a clean job while they
were about It and used copious iiuantlt'ioj of
tasollno to aid them In their nefarious
actions.
WORK OF HOODLUMS.
It may ECCIU strange to the readera of The
Dee to know this act of birbarlsm was
brought jioout by the cursu of factional poll-
tics , undur which this entire city and state
Is now languishing. The Third ward , where
the school hoiibo In question Is located , under
normal conditions Is considered to bo the
Gibraltar of the ring" democrats. It 'Is also
known as the "nioody Third " Within thu
confines of the ward are resident the well
known and In some Instances notorious
"ring" bosses. The present city government
13 what la known as the reform or Citizens'
league quality. At the last city election the
"Hloody Third" was for one tlmo wrested
from the grip of the rlngstera and went
Bolldly for reform. The location ot the lever
hospital in the ward by the reformers offered
too good an opportunity for a grand stand
play by the "ring" bosses to miss , so an
Ind'lgnatlon meeting was held 'in the courhu
of tlio afternoon of jesterday and denuncia
tor } resolution * were passed and a delega
tion appointed to wait upon the mayor and
protest against the "outrage. " However , the
"bo > " wouldn't wait for today and they
cheerfully tut flro to the building.
Now Orleans today feels humiliated under
the odium ot this dastardly outrage. It haj
always reprobated the "barbarous" shotgun
quarantine Today wo are exposed to the
well merited criticism of the clvlIUed
world by rcasoiv of the actions of a gaug of
rufllana who would as soon cut a throat aa
look at a man. These wretches are not re
sponsible citizens ot this place. They are
of the Atrlpe of carrion that Infest every
largo city , and particularly communities that
arc so cursed with politics as la thu Crescent
City.
City.Our filthy streets are due to politics , the
defective police service Is entirely thu re
sult of the same th'ng.Vhun wo are an
nually threatened with overflow , politics crop
up and the city suffers. Only last spring ,
when It was at one tlmo considered more
than probable that the city would bo t > ub-
merged , the citizens had to rise up In their
might and give the warring bosses the
"straight tip" that If they did not quit mon.
keying with so serious a subject they , the
citizens , would take a hand In affairs. It
lias In the past Boomed to bo a game of
"grab" ani | > ng the municipal leaders , and
while changca of city government are oc
casionally brought about , It < ld lo be re
corded that little relief Is given the unfor
tunate taxpayer.
000 ! ) MEN AT THK JIHAD.
It Is , however , but Just to the present
mayor and deputy mayor of New Orleans ,
Walter Flower and "Abe" Ilrlttan , to say
that they , at least , seem determined to do
what Is right and proper , as far as they are
permitted. Iloth Mayor Flower and Mr.
Ilrlttan are able men and are ready to ad
vance uny work that will benefit the city
Iloth men are alto courageous gentlemen , a
quality not to bo desplicd In tills neck o'
the woods at any stage of the game.
As may be known by mjay readers of
The Ilee , this city Is divided by Canal street
Into what can bo ) called ancient and modern
New Orleans. Ancient New Orleans Is the
old French and Spanish portion of the city
end the modern portion Is that where the
Americans reside. "Down town , " as the old
portion of the city Is called , ha * generally
been designated as the "dirty" part of the
Creicent City , and the stigma U not Incor
rect ; yet , strange to ay , It la In this "dirty"
part of the city whore there li less yellow
fever , and U la In what Is called the "Gar
den" portion of the municipality that the
dtieise Is moit recorded. Yet a granger
fact ronica to light. In the Italian quarter ,
irhere the "dagon" huddle like sheep In thalr
DOUIM , and vrhere It In known that icrenty
and eighty human beings Inhabit ono house ,
little , It any , yellow fever ban been found.
So far It Is among the Americana and Ger
mans "up town" that the fever his got a
foothold. Thc French , Spanish and Italian
residents of the city have come off pretty
freely so far.
No tot up can bo looked for In the fever
until the frost cornea. Jack Frost always
worsti Yellow Jack. Down hero we look fo.1
continuous frosts on and after October ir .
A good deal ot exaggerated rumors have gone
out about the exodus ot people from the city.
Tha truth Is that not more.than 2.000 two
quit , and ot this number no Inconsiderable
portion were tr nlent visitors , who had come
to New Orleans to make their annuM winter
vacation In this delightful cllmatf. Thc br t ,
most responsible and to-bc-rcllcd upon citi
zen * of Now Orleans are to be found hero ,
and they Intend to stay right along.
UUSINDSS GOC3 AHEAD.
The streets of the city present all the old-
time Indications of a busy , thriving metropolis.
All branches of business are bt'lng maln-
tiitncd , all the railroad offices arc open , and If
business Is a bit stack among the railroad
people , It Is nut on nccount of local condi
tions , but by reason ot the abMird quarantine
regulations enforced outside.
While the situation cannot b" described as
decidedly cheerful , yet we are far removed
from the panicky stage. That may be ar
rived at later , It certainly Is not here now.
The "good" people of this city are thoroughly
aroused , and will sec to It that the practical
politicians stand aside and let honest men
administer local affairs , at least for the brief
space while Yellow Jack Is with us. To
tell the truth , thwc worthies are little In
evidence In any of the good work of volun
tary sanitation that Is going on throughout
the city Your genuine ward "striker" Is
seldom found when the life of a community
may be threatened by an rpldcmlc. Like thr >
coward that he Is , he seeks the seclusion ot
some favorite barrel house , where he mouths
about what "I would do" If ho were In charge
of some ihirtlcular department of public
trust. ANCIENT MARINER.

NEW ORLnANS , Sept. 27. Warmer
weather In the last two or three days has had
the effect of Increasing to some extent the
number of new cases ot thc prevailing typo
ot jollow fever , but It has equally had the
effect of bending down the death rate. Thcro
were twenty-three cases on Saturday , seven
teen jcstculay and up to halt past six o'clock
today twenty-one cases. IJut there were only
two deaths on Saturday , none on Sunday and
two today. Present experience , therefore
proves that warm weather adds to the num
ber of cabcs but reduces the mortality , while
colder weather diminishes the number of
cases and enlarges the death rate. 1'hvsi-
elans and authorities tonight generally agree
that the situation Is steadily Impiovlng.
They 'believe the chancis are growing more
remote every day of an epidemic and that
there Is little likelihood that the disease
will assume before cold weather a much
more virulent form than at present.
This Is the iccord at nightfall. Now cases ,

Dr Johm Gultcras , the Marino hospital ex
pert , arrived hero today. He believes thc
Hoard of Health has taken thc most effective
moans known to stamp out the disease , be
lieves that thc sickness Is In good contro'
and expresses the belief that It is ot a mild
typo. He does not believe there Is a parti
cle of reason for a w Idesprcad alarm.
There Is some anxiety In the sugar dis
trict among planters as to obtaining labor to
work In the fields and In the sugar houses.
Most of the labor thus employed Is from
New Orleans and the rigidity of the quar
antine regulations has made it well nigh
Impossible for planters to get the help they
lequlrc. Tcrre Donne has set an example ,
however , that may bo followed by other
parishes. It provides for detention of labor
at the quarantine camp at the river for a
limited period. From the detention camp the
laborer will subsequently bo permitted to
enter Terre Bonne.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 27. The September
monthly statement of the government re
ceipts and expenditures will show a ma
terial decrease In the deficit as compared
with August. The Increase that wilt bo
shown In the receipts from Internal revenue
sources scorns to justify the expectation of
the treasury officials that by January 1 ndxt
the deficit will have been reduced to a
nominal amount. The excess of expendi
ture over receipts eo far this month Is
something over $3,250,000 , but It Is expected
that by October 1 this ojcccss will have been
J educed to $3,000,000 or less , making the de-
llclt for the first uuartcr of Uio llscal year
about $2,000,000.
Internal revenue officers call attention to
the fact that already receipts from Internal
revenue exceed last year's by about $6,000-
000 , and predict by January 1 this Increase
will have reached $7,000,000 and possibly
$3.000000. The receipts from customs KO far
show no material pains , nor Is It expected
that any substantial Improvement will be
shown until after the first of the year. Sugar
Is then expected to figure prominently In the
receipts and before the close of the calendar
> ear much Is expected from wool exports.
The expenditures on account of 1'aclflc
railroads at the beginning of the year will
be exceptionally heavy. On January 1 thcro
will bo duo matured bonds of thc Central
Pacific to tbo amount of $10,614,120 ; Union
1'aclflc , $15,199,512 ; Kansas Pacific. $1.423,000 ;
Central branch of the Union Pacific , $320,000) )
Sioux City & Pacific , $1,628,320 ; making n
total of. $29,904,052. In addition to this
amount the Intel eat payments on January 1
will aggregate approximately $8,000,000. If ,
however , the otfcr of the reorganization com-
mlttco of the Union Pacific Is accepted , about
$40,000,000 would bo added to the available
cash In thc treasury and would reduce the
January payments on account ot the Pacific
roads by about $17,000,000. Estimating the
deficit for the next two months at $17,000,000 ,
exclusive of payments on account of the
Pacific roads , the available cash balance In
the treasury at the close of tbo first half
of the fiscal jear would bo about $10,000.000
In excess of thc present figures , or $225-
000,000. This would be a net loss for thb
six mouths of $15,000,000. Summing up Hit
situation the treasury officials predict that
before the close of the calendar > ear thb
receipts will fully equal or exceed the needs
of the government.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 27. Secretary Wil
son of the Agricultural department has se
cured an order from the Postofflce depart
ment permitting the agents of the Agricul
tural department to attach the department
frank to packages of sugar beets to bo sent
from growers to the experiment stations
throughout the country for analysis. Last
spring the Agricultural department sent
sugar beet seed to farmers In twenty-seven
states. It Is now the Intention to test the
beets grown from these seeds In various lo
calities for saccharine qualities and It Is
desired that this work shall be conducted
at the experiment stations. Under the ar
rangements inado today with Iho Postofllce
department the ofllclals at the experiment
stations will be allowed to send postal franks
tul all farmers to whom they supplied seeds ,
by the use ot which they can send through
the malls , free of cost , packages of beets
not exceeding four pounds In weight.
Hetuins have been received from the ex
perimental growths , -and Secretary Wilson
said toJay that the rciults wore such as to
encourage the belief that sugar beets could
be successfully grown In almost all the
states ot the Union. Contrary to his e\pcc
tatlou the best reports have been received
from the south rather than from the north
Ileets grown In the vicinity of Richmond
Va. , give returns ot from 13 to 18 per cent
of saccharine matter and In the Pecos val
ley In New Mexico from 18 to 22 per cent
In Europe an average of 13 per cent Is con
sidered large. It Is Mr. Wllscn's Intention
to distribute twelve tons of sugar beet seeds
next spring. Heretofore all the seeds dis
tributed by the department have been cured
In Europe. The growers In Utah have prom
Ised three tons this year , and It Is expected
that other localities In the Unite ! States will
furnish part of the supply necessary.

absolutely no effort made to perform any
sanitary work.there being evidently no money

worst sanitary conditions .the city of Ha-
vrna Is rlpo for all epidemic diseases and the
existing condltlors are getting \vorso every
day. Dr. Brunner reports a decrease In the
number of jellow fever patients at Havana ,
which Is , he says , duo to the fact that the

WAR YET A LONG WAY OFF
Little Likelihood of a Rupture Occurring
with Spain.
CONSIDERED BUT A REMOTE PROBABILITY
.Stnt < - Di-partnu-iit Olll.-liils Take tin
Optimistic Vli-w ot the Situation
Mediation OIToroil la u
Kliully hiiirlt.
NEW YORK , Sept. 27. A special to the
Herald from Wabhlngton says. The possi
bility of a rupture between the United States
and Spain , growing out ot the repriscntatlono
recently made to the Madrid authorities by
Minister Woodford , Is regarded as very re
mote by State department officials. At the
time Mr. Woodford's Instructions were
written It was the opinion of the administra
tion that a tender of the good olllces ot thc
United States would be rejected by Spain
Their vitws have changed on this point. It
Is said that the authorities are now coni-
Ildently expecting that Spain will accept the
offer of mediation In the same conciliator !
bplrlt In which It was made and express a
willingness to consider any suggestion which
this goveinment may choose to make In the
direction of a restoration o peace In thb
island.
The optimistic view which the authorities
take of Spain's prospective reply to Jlr.
Woodford's note is based on the belief that
there will soon bo a new ministry In Spain
composed of the liberals , with Sagasta aa the
ptcmler. Hut even with bagasta in power ,
the authorities here do not anticipate that
Spain will bo In a humor to entertain n
proposition for the purchase of Cuba , which
Is now considered by overjbudy as the onlj
peaceful way in which the Cubans can ever
bccure their Independence. They do expect ,
however , that the new ministry will cheer
fully accept whatever absistance the United
States may be able to lender In bringing
about a solution' of the Cuban problem , which
will give the Cuban ? a more liberal govern
ment than that w hlch they now enjoy , but
which will not lesult In the loss of Spain's
sovereignty over the Island.
And then will come the rub. It Is a very
easy matter to tender good ofllces and a
comparatively easy one to get them accepted ,
hut , as It Is iirgued In certain quartets with
the Cubans I'l-eUrlng ' they will not accept
anything short > t complete Independence , and
Spain firmly adhering to its reiterated
declaration that it will not withdraw its flag
from the island , th.o administration will find
It as dlfllciilt to end the war peacefully as
Spafik has In Its efforts to close it by force
of arms.
Should the Spanish government reject the
offer of the good oltlces ot the United States
tendered by Mr. Woodford. It will then bo
necessary for President MrlClnley to consider
what bhall be the further course of this
government. A member of the cabinet labt
night gave your correspondent to understand |
that the president would not act hastily In i
any event. The president will communicate I
full Information to congress at the begin
ning ot the session In December and be
guided by the action of that body.
MADRID , Sept 27 The United States mln-
Uter , General Stewart L Woodford , paid a
visit of courtesy this morning to the Spanish
premier , General \reirraga Several of the
newspapers of that city allege that General
Woodford has said In Interviews with their
nprt'sentntlves that the Interviews between
the United States nnd Spanish ministers on
the subject of Cuba have not been held nnd
that ho only had a preliminary ehat with the
Spanish minister of foreign affairs The gen
eral U quoted as hiving added that he found
tun duke of Tetunn to bo a meat amiable man
and that no ultimatum to Spain was deliv
ered , as that coutry will not put up > with It ,
and because the Intention of the United States
was only to offer Its good olllccs In the most
friendly terms.
Secietary Shermin , still , according to the
Intel views In the Spanish newspapers , desires
a prompt solution of the Cuban question by
Novenfber at the latest as ho feara the
"Jingoes" will make themselves hoard on
the reassembling of congress Finally , It Is
alleged that General Wondforil baa said that
In the event of complete iccord being estab
lished between Spain and the United
States the latter will take measures to biip-
preto filibustering.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 27. The administra
tion has had inider consideration for some
tlmo the propriety of making public the
text of the letter presented to the duke
of Totuan , the Spanish minister for foiclgn
affairs , by Minister Woodford , in which
was outlined tUs government's view with
reference to the Cuban situation. It was
purposed to do this because of the Incor
rect and sensntionil reports , that had been
circulated conccinlug Minister Woodford's
representations to thc Spanish authorities ,
but it'has , however , been deemed advisa
ble by the president to withhold the letter
from the public for the present. It is sup
posed that Mr McKlnley may have been
animated in this decision by the wishes
of the Spanish gov eminent.

NDW YORK , Sept. 27. A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says : The Cen
tral American republics , according to pan-
amerlcan , diplomats In Washington , are un
doubtedly on the eve ot a general political
upheaval. The success of the revolutionists
ill Guatemala , entailing thc downfall ot Dictator
tater tlarrlos and the elevation of Prospero
Morales to the presidency. Is believed to ba
Inevitable and Is likely to , of Itself , bring
about a revolution In several of the sister
republics. The Imprisonment of the CosU
Rlcan consul general , Don Kduardo Oocho ,
by the Nicaragua ! ! authorities , Is regarded
as a serious breach of International courtesy
that can hardly pi event a rupture. The
seeds of sedition are easily sown In Hon
duras and the uneasiness In that country
seems likely to develop Into open revolt
against President Itnnllla as an Indirect re
sult of the success of the revolution In
Guatemala. Salvador alone of thc pau-
amcrlcan stales at present -appears qulot and
likely to remain so.
A successful revolution to either of the
three republics eompo.slng the Greater Re
public of Central America would moan the
dissolution of the feeble diplomatic bonds
which now unite them , and .from present
Indications mother coalition of this nature
might be dllllcult to bring about.
A panamcrlcan diplomat who Is thor
oughly familiar with the Central American
situation said :
REVOLUTIONISTS LIKELY TO WIN.
"There seems to bo every probability that
the revolutionists In Guatemala will bo
masters of the government In a short tlmo
and that Darrios will bo forced to leave tha
country , If he Is not assassinated. One ol
the strongest and most efficient supporter !
ot thc Guatemalan revolution Is General
Domingo Vasquez , who Is now bcalcglna
Chlgulnula , where President Harrloii IB.
Vasmicz about four years ago was prcsldeni
of Honduras and was driven from that
country , largely through the power ol
Xolaya. Ho would like to regain the prcal
dency of Honduras and should Morales bo *
come prcHldent of Guatemala through blj
aid plots will immediately bo formed for
the downfall of President Donllla Vasquez ,
as president ot Honduras. would bn
dangerous to the pcaco of Nicaragua. Jlla
hatred of Zclaya would easily find a pretext
for arousing afresh thu lattcr'u opponents ,
who , with thc aid of Honduras and Guate
mala , would probably bo able to de
feat Kclaya and elevatn his rival , Alejandro
Chamorro , to the presidency. Thcso results ,
I believe , are almost sure to follow
revolutionary victory In Guatemala. "
