NEWPORT NEWS. Va„ July 31.—
There are thirty cases of what is be
lieved to be genuine yellow fever at
the National Soldiers' Home, near
Hampton, and three deaths from the
disease were reported today.
There were several other deaths at
the institution yesterday, but it can
not be stuted if all of them were
caused by yellow fever. Newport
News and Hampton will quarantine
against the Soldiers’ Home tomorrow
morning.
The government authorities at Old
Point have already adopted this step
and no strangers are allowed to enter
the reservation. Quarantine Officer
Hobson of this port went to the Sol
diers’ Home tonight and verified the
statement that there are now thirty
■f* cases of the disease at the home and
that there were three deaths from the
malady today.
While no one outside of the Sol
diers’ Home know anything about the
existence of yellow fever until today,
it Is said the disease made Its ap
pearance three days ago. The most
rigid quarantine n filiations will be
enforced to prevent the spread of the
malady.
The news has created great excite
ment in Newport News, Old Point and
Hampton and the most vigorous meas
ures will be resorted to to prevent its
spread. There are 4,000 old veterans
at the home and several large excur
sion parties went last week.
WASHINGTON, July 31—Sifrgeon
General Wyman of the marine hospi
tal service was informed Saturday
night of an outbreak of what was fear
ed was yellow fever at the National
Soldiers’ Home at Hampton and im
mediately dispatched surgeons In the
service from Wilmington, N. (’., Nor
folk and Washington to investigate
the sickness there, report on its char
acter to the authorities here and take
measures to prevent the spread of the
disease.
Dr. Wyman himself will go to Hamp
ton In a few days to take charge of
the work of preventing a spread of the
disease if it develops into genuine yel
low fever. Two of the surgeons dis
patched to the home reported today
that the symptoms very much re
sembled those of yellow fever and
while they could not be positive in
^ tbeir diagnosis as yet they were in
clined to the belief the illness was the
dreaded yellow jack. The government
will adopt Btrict precautionary meas
ures and will fight its progress with
all the skill and resources at its com
mand.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.—Yester
day was spent by the anxious people
of the Nebraska contingent here In
awaiting the signul that the Hancock
was entering the harbor, but up to ti
o'clock, which Is 8 in Nebraska, no
news had been heard and it was cer
tain that should the ship come in after
that time of day no one would be al
lowed to board It until morning, hh the
quarantine end custom house officers
would not perform their duties until
after sunrise tomorrow.
There is, however, good reason for
thinking that the sl»lp will not be
sighted before Sunday afternoon or
Monday, but these calculations are
based on the supposition that the Han
cock will not attempt to make Its cus
tomary speed or cannot do so on ac
count of the foulness of its bottom.
The Hancock .eft Japan for this city
on July 14. It was to come direct, six
teen days would be the average time
for a vessel like the Hancock, which
would make it due here on Sunday.
Loss of speed would bring the trip up
to about Monday.
Judge Kyan, Mr. Wbedan and the
Bee correspondent made a visit to
General Shufter and received some in
formation regarding the matter of
paying off the troops. General Shaf
ter said there would be about (133 due
each one of the enlisted men here in
case they held to the resolve to be
mustered cut here Instead of at home.
He said they would be given the
chance to vote again on the matter.
i ne question or tne place or muster
out of the volunteers was one which
was causing the government much
embarrassment, the states all being
anxious to have the men mustered out
at home and the Oregon people having
asked that their troops be allowed to
retain their arms until they reached
home, even though mustered out here.
The idea was to have them go home
with their guns, take part in the home
demonstration and then turn in the
property. General Shafter had just re
ceived today a letter from the war de
partment showing the impossibility of
granting the request of the Oregon
people, but the troops of that state are
to take another vote on the question
of location for muster-out.
General Shafter said he had re
ceived authority to attach a pay car
on the train that would take the Ne
braska boys home, so that they might
be paid off after they left this city.
The amount they received would be
the same as if they had received it
here. None of the men could be com
pelled to follow this course, however,
and the idea could not be adopted un
less all or a large majority of the men
agreed to it. In any event the men
would each be paid $133 on their ar
rival In port here.
There is much interest in the ques
tion here and the sentiment among the
large business men, city officials and
the best people generally is that the
volunteers ought not to be mustered
out here. Their reason for this is that
if the men are paid off here a large
part of the money will be spent in a
dissolute way, without helping legiti
mate business, and a largo number of
the men, after getting rid of their
money, will remain here on the coast
and by increasing the number of lab
orers here cause a reduction in wages
that is not desirable. The leaders of
the labor organizations also take this
view of the case and would like to see
the men go to their own states to be
mustered out.
General Shafter bestowed much
praise on the Nebraska troops and said
it was a pity that a regiment with
such a glorious record could not go
home intact, but he had no idea that
i the men would vote to lie mustered out
in Nebraska, on account of the differ
ence in the amount of pay each would
receive.

CLEVELAND,. 0.. July 29.—Law ami
order are triumphing and the city 1'h
beginning to resume Its old time ap
pearance. Yesterday the street cars
were well patronized, especially dur
ing the busy hours'of the morning end
evening.
Mayor Farley is well pleased with
the situation, but he has not relaxed
hia vigilance and will not until the
last vestige of dlsoredr is wiped away.
The mayor und Adjutant General Ax
line are at present Involved In a con
troversy over what the troops shall
do and what they shall not do. The
adjutant general Is of the opinion that
tno duty of the National Guard is
merely to put down rioting and not
to do police duty. Whatever the duty
of the National Guard may be Mayor
Farley holds that the troops are here
under his authority, and they will re
main here until he feels that they can
be dispensed with.
Ah the responsibility of preserving
order in the city rests on the shoulders
of the mayor he says he proposed to
see that his plans are not Interfered
with. He declares he Is to be the
judge as to whether troops are not
wanted. There have been several out
breaks between Mayor Farley and Ad
jutant General Axllne within the last
few days over this question. Today
the mayor refused to discuss the dif
ficulty, saying that It was not a time
to stir up any discord.
“I will merely reiterate my state
ment of last night,” said the mayor.
"This is a time for every man to mlnu
his own business.”
Rumors to the effect that the city
council will endeavor to reconsider
the resolution of Thursday night are
prevalent. The mayor feels that he
has the situation well under hand and
he fears any action of the council will
cause agitation which will simply pro
long the trouble. After the breaches
have been healed and quiet has been
absolutely restored the mayor would
not object to any kind of an investi
gation by the council, but he declares
the members are treading on danger
ous ground, when they undertake to
reopen the discussion.
The mayor takes hut little Interest
in the talk of boycotting the mer
chants. He believes that just as soon
as quiet is restored and the fever Is
gone all such talk will cease. A boy
cott, he feels, is against natural laws,
that a man will not pay 6 cents for
an article that can be purchased for
6, and a man will not walk a mile
to make a purchase when he can get
what he wants at a quarter of a mile.
It Is said at the city hall that there
are quite a number of the recent street
car employes who would go back to
work if permitted, but they are pre
vented by threats from some of the
more radical strikers.
The Big Consolidated officials stated
that cars were being operated on every
line In the system of fourteen in all.
Even on the Union street line, which
runs through a district thickly popu
lated with Iron workers and where it
has generally believed trouble would
Inevitably come when an attempt was
made by the company to resume oper
ation, cars were running on schedule
time this morning without any trou
blo.
It Is stated that the detective who
have been hunting for the miscreants
who placed nltro-glycerine on the
tracks and blew up a Euclid avenue
car last Sunday night, have flnallly
secured some strong evidence bearing
on the case and will make at least
two arrests. A reward of $2,000 wilt
be paid by the Big Consolidated on
the arrest and conviction of the guilty
parties.

RIGHT ABOUT, TACE.
Former French Premier I'hungM Front
on the Treaty.
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 29.—Tb«
semi-official statement In Paris that
American leather does not get thn
minimum rate under the new recipro
city treaty, although M. Meline’s cab
inet offered this rate to American
katiier, caused considerable comment
in official circles here. It is one of tho
recorded facts of the recent negotl*
tlons that M. Mellne, who Is now at
tacking the new treaty, offered far
greater concessions cn American gooda
than the present ministry permitted to
be Inserted in the treaty as finally
formed. M. Mellne was at the head
of the ministry during the early stagea
of the reciprocity negotiations and at
that time Premier Kasson received a
proposition from the French authori
ties that the minimum tariff would
lie granted on thi? entire list of Amer
ican goods Bent ter France. This prop
osition of tho Mellne cabinet stood
until two weeks Hgn, although a new
ministry had come Into power.
The present ministry decided, how
ever, that the original offpr of tho
Mellne cabinet had gone too far and
bh a result a new proposition was
advanced two weeks ago to omit from
the minimum list a large number of
agricultural products, such ns leather,
horses, cattle, butter, produced largely
In France. Fn the final draft twenty
four of these exceptions are made,
largely In the Interest of French agri
cultural products, so that the Instru
ment Is much more considerate of
French Interests than It would have
been hnd It been framed tinder the
original proposition of M. Mellne. who
Is now at the head of the opposition
to tho treaty.

CHICAGO, July 29.—Officials of or
ganized labor In this city state that
the brlckmakers* strike Is likely to
precipitate a general walkout In the
city. Committees from the Hrlck
masers’ alliance invaded buildings In
various stages of construction and
where non-union brick were being
; used ordered the union men to cease
work. The brlckmakers demand not
only an increase in wages, but the rec
ognition of the Brlckmakers’ union.
The employers against whom the
movement is directed preserve a stol
id front of indifference. What suc
cess the strikers will have in their
efforts to call out other branches of
the building trades will not be de
termined until the various unions have
held meetings to consider the matter.
THEY MUST VACCINATE.

LONDON, July 29—An interesting
case, the outcome of the anti-vaccl
nation crusade, was opened In the
court of the Queen’s Bench today,
when the Leicester guardians, con
sisting of thirty-five gentlemen and
five ladles, appeared to show cause
why a mandamus should not be Issued
to compel the appointment of a vac
cination officer. The guardians were
elected under a pledge to resist com
pulsory vaccination. During the Jour
ney of the guardians to I^ondon crowds
of sympathizers met them at various
stages und loudly cheered them. Upon
their arrival ut Ixmdon they were met
by huge crowds, who cheered the
"Leicester martyrs," and accompan
ied them In procession. The court
maudumused the guardians.
