Lidy Randolph Churchill , Mrs. Moreton

Cnptilu Crulkshank c\clto Immense interest
lu English society. Crulkshank Is a com
monplace , rather seedy-looking fellow but
Hcems to be endowed with an extraordinary
plausibility. He Induced the three experi
enced women of the world to part with
_ $7,500 on promise of 400 per cent on some
i venture of his entitled a railway syndicate ,
I of which they never demanded any evidence
j Their confidence was gained first by the fact
that Cruikihank was introduced by a Mr
Cadogan a relative of Earl Cadopan , viceroy
of It eland. Mrs. Leslie and Mrs. Moreton
Trow en kept all knowledge of these trans
actions from their husbands , expecting to
have a pleasant surprise for them wnen
their fortunes had been inado by Crulk-
shank's byndlcatc. They were merely a few
of the women Cruikshank has victimized ,
only one man being among his dupes. The
pollco have evidence against him of frauds
to the extent of $75,000 , but he maintains
the railway syndicate was u genuine under
taking and that the complainants Invested
their money , knowing it was a risk , with
their eyes open , expecting a big return. An
effoit was first made by Lidy Randolph and
others to recover their money by civil
process , which failed , nnd the prosecution Is
now in the hands of the crown. They feel
their position acutely , fearing the chaft ot
their fi lends for succumbing so easily to the
wiles of a needy adventurer.

NHW ORLEANS , Sept. 13. Tito announce-
mcnt of the ninth case ot yellow fever lu
Now Orleans , Including the Gelpl death , was
olllclally made by the Heard ot Health late
this afternoon. It Is probable that later to-

Investigation. The ninth case Is Edward
McQInty , a young man living Immediately
opposite a residence uptown vvhero a child
died from the fever that had been prevail
ing at Ocean Springs McGlnty had been n
visitor to thu family during their residence
, on the Mississippi coast and since their re
turn to the city had been a constant visitor.
It Is therefore believed that McGlnty con-
t
.ractcd the disease from the sick child.
Membeis of the Uoard of Health have been
in close attendance upon the case riiul com
pleted their diagnosis this afternoon. As
soon ns they had done so the Uoard of Health

LITTLE EXCITEMENT.
The announcement ot ono more case and
probably another has made no change In the
state of the public mind. There Is still an
absence of excitement , and while there are
occasional dcpartuies from the city there
lias been no general exodus.

other rlevr towns are likely to follow end
w'llch will probably effect a suspension of

sive right to exhibit Chinese at the exposi

to have the secretary permit 600 Chinamen
to come Into the country. Hip Lung will
leave In a few days for Chlin to organize
and bring back with him his company. See-
letary Gage has restricted to three months
the time thu Chinese may remain In the

main in the country for a year

The continued Illness of Secretary Algcr
has prompted Acting ccretniy Melklejohn
to forego his vacation for the present , at

contemplates a quiet sojourn at home ot the-
Atlantic coast resorts , where ho hopes to re
gain his health Until the secretary re

WASHINGTON , Sept. 13. Consul General
Leo had an extended conference at the State
dcoartment today with Sec-clary Sherman
and Judge Day , assistant secretary of state ,
during which the entire range of Cuban
affairs was gone over. The consul general
submitted no Written report , but gave a
verbal statement on the numerous questions
which have atlscn In connection with the
Insurrection. Secretary Sherman desired
that General Leo should sea the president ,
who , it Is expected , will bo back tonight
It Is felt , however , that the president would
hn fatleupd with his Journey and would not
cato to take up Cuban affairs Immediately
after his arrival. For this reason It was
arranged that General Lee should proceed to
Virginia and visit his family , holding him
self In readiness to return an a telegraphic !
order , when It was convenient for the presi
dent to see him. Ho left later in the day
for the Intermoiint hotel , at Covlngton ,
Va. , where Mis , Lee Is spending the sum
mer.
mer.All parties concenned declined positively
to say an > thing concerning today's confer
ence , but It Is leained that It developed no
now or startling phases of the Cuban situa
tion , but was rather In the nature of a general -
oral review of the entlro situation up
to the time General Lee left the Island Ho
was able to present this much better through
a personal talk than through the medium of
the official communications which ho liac
cent from time to time lite subjects cov
ered Included the condition of the Com
pctltor prisoners and other Americans held
In Spanish prisons , the disposition of the
fund of JuO.OOO appropriated by congress for
the icllef of destituo Americans on the
Island , the present status of the rebellion ,
rccccit hostilities , etc. One of General LCC'R
staff visited the Competitor's prisoner * the
Saturday before the consul general left for
Washington , and reported that Ona Melton
and othoifl were In fairly good condition
Their cases are at present sub judlca , a
legal condition which prevents anything be
ta K done until further advance Is nude The
prevailing sickness on the Island was
touched upon Ilotb yellow fever and small
pox are earning off many victims ul
Havana and through the Interior , and the
week before General Leo left thcru were
thlity deaths from jellon fever at Havana
of which far the gi eater number were among
the negroes
AH to whether General Leo will return to
Cuba no definite Information could Lo secured
cured It Is said to depend much on
clrc'imstanri'H which have not yet de
veloped , and It Is probablu that neither
the coniul general nor the officials are as
jet ( crtalti concerning hit future movements
At the cabinet meeting will be held tomor-
low It Is thought probable that General Leo
will net he called to Washington until
Wednesday or later

but before the soldiers could bo started off
to the scon" the authniltlos were reassured
by the iccolpt of a second telegram to the
effect that the march Ind been stopped anil
no fuither double was feaied.
Late tills afternoon a third dispatch

that the match had been icsumed and car

General Gonl'n has been delugpd with e-
qucsts for troops , but declares that he will
send none to nny point unless an outbreak
really occurs. _ This.Is . a , measure of pre
caution to keep Die sold'ors ' mobilized.
The mliic superintendents aio much vvor-

havoc wroitRlit at Gomel Jones' homo the

Theio Is n s ns-itlonal stoi v afloat concern

when ono was heard to jeinnrlr "I've got
the mateilal , but I don't know how to mlt
the damned stuff If I did iould blow
them up tonight "
NO msitmnANCK.
It is said that the guards wer placed
about the superintendent houses as a re
sult. Today hud been regarded as the turn
ing point of the situation because of the
prohibition Issued by Gcnoial Gobln against
the proposed funeral demonstration. A
compromise was effected thin-morning , how
ever , and the day passed oft without dis
turbance.
In the meantime the Coxe collieries vxore
being watched with In nbp anxiety. Itvas

"strike. " Krom n ODD to 7 000 men arc cm-
ployed nt all the collieries and It viaa un
derstood that such a movement would bring
them all out. Whether or not the proposi
tion was formally submitted today could not
bo learned , because nobody would talk , The
moil were all at work , but strlko talk wns
