Cabinet Listens to tLe Full Text of Spain’s Reply to Wood- ‘ . ford’s Note. ‘ IS REGARDED AS VERY SATISFACTORY. No Protest Will Be Made at This Time Against the Trialiof the Competitor Crew'— An Oerer from Gen. Gomez Places Saqguil]y in a Perplexing Posltlon.ﬁ"‘ Lol Washington, Nov. 10. — The full text of Spain’s reply to the Woaodford note was read at.the cabinet meeting Tuesday. Its tone was pacific, and, instead of being at all warlike, was regarded by the cabinet as very satisfactory and calculated to allay any fear of a hostile outbreak. fic | . : The cabinet also gave considerable attention to the ice-bound Behring sea whale fleet. Two plans have been decided upon—one to send the Bear fromSeattle, which cannot| be got ready for two weeks, and another to send the Thrasher, a whaling vessel now at San Francisco. This latter determination was reached after the receipt of a telegram by Secretary Long from the commandant of the Mare Island navy yard.. The Thrasher can be provisioned at once’ and sent immediately on her mission. 1t is stated that the{*e is a very good supply of provisions |at Point Barrow and another supply at Herschel island, also that at least three vessels well supplied with provisions will winter in the Arctic. The locationvff the reindeer in Alaska, which are wanted for transpertation, is not known, but it is believed a supply can be.obtained.: ’ Will Make No ﬁrotest Now. t Washington, Nov. 10. — State department officials say there will be no protest lodged against-the proceedings in the case of the Competitor prisoners at Havana at this time. Whether or notit will_,f-g)e necessary to act later on will be determined by the outcome of the courtmartial. Our government has not assented to the claim by Spain to the right to try the men in thit manner, but of course in the event of an acquittalof the prisoners, which is not regarded as improbable, there will be no occasion for rex%o'nstrance. ;‘ - | Hard Place fo_ri Sanguill'y. : Philadelphia, Nov.' 10. —:The Press will print, under New #’ork date, a story to the effect that Gen. Julio Sanguilly, the Cuban patriot,'husjrec;gived an order from Gen. Gomez to report for duty inthe insurgent ranks. xlThe order places him in an’embarrassing position. Sanguilly had become an|American citizen and when arrested in Havana two years -ago was only released from-Moro Castle upon pledging his word not to again tak‘é up arms against spain. v Sanguilly gave this pledge after much hesitation.. Not long |afterwards, Gen. Gomez ordered him to report for duty, but Secretary Sherman, it is said, informed Sanguilly that if he did so he would forfeit his American citizenship. . This last note from Gomez is to the effegt that if Sanguilly, who is a major gedel‘al by con}missiﬁn from Gomez, ~does not report by December 10, he will be}educed to the ranks and discharged without honor. | - ; INSANE PATIENTS IN PERIL.'

YELLOW FEVER IN MISSOURL

Genuine Case at-Marshall-—Situation at New Orleans, ~

Marshall, Mo., Nov. 10.—A genuine case of yellow fever was reported a few days since at the residence of Sherman Huston, near Malta Bend, this county. The patient, A. M. Irwin, a resident of Memphis, Tenn., left that ‘place about ‘ten days ago on account of the plague. At Kansas City hc became suddenly ill and sought admission to the hospitals ‘at that city, but was refused. On reaching the home of his brother-in-law, Mr. ‘Huston, the disease had fully developed. The case has been in the hands of Dr. Brown, a local physician, who now pronounces the patient out of danger. Owing to severe frosts lately there is no fear of the disease spreading in the community. ’ " New Orleans, Nov. 10.—At ten o’clock Tuesday morning one new case and two deaths from yellow feyer were reported to the board of health. All interest in the fever has about disappeared. ‘ TO HOLD INDIANS: IN CHECK. Military Camp Established at White Rocks, Utah. * White Rocks, Utah, Nov. 10. —-In response to an order from Capt. Wright, Lieut. Cavenaugh with 15 men from Fort Duchesne has arrived here and established a camp. The cause of this order, it is stated, is that rumors have reached the capital that Indians are lcaving the reservation in bands of two or three and returning to Colorado to avenge the massacre of their comrades there. Lieut. Cavenaugh’s duty here is to.investigate the rumors and to check any of the exodus. : Lieut. Cavenaugh will meet Sowawick, chief of the White Rivers, the Indians concerned in the recent massacre. He will discuss matters with him. Sowawick and the other White Rivers demand an investigation of the recent killing from Washington. TROUBLE BREWING. Politieal Situation in the Austrian Empire Is Extremely Critical. London, Nov. 10..—A letter received here from -Vienna says that published reports of the political situation in the Austrian empire convey no adequate idea of the chaos prevailing. “Badeni must go” is the general war cry now, and his downfall is considered inevitable, regardless of the outcome of the present fight between the Germans and the Czechs. The letter adds: 1 ‘““No one can foresee how it will end. If the Germmans win there may be bloodshed in Bohemia, and if the Boheniians are persistent the Germans will have to fight with their sharpest weapons to assept their prerogative and save the Austro-Hun-garian duality. The danger, however, lies in the active participation in the fight by the Germans over the border. There .is actually a small party 'in the reichsrath which openly declares for Prussia and wants to see the former German provinces, as Bohemia, handed to the Hohenzollerns.”

THE FISH COMMISSION.

Summary of Its Work During the Past Year. e

Washington, Nov. 10.—United States Fish Commissioner John J: Brice has submitted to the president a summary of the work accomplished by the fish commission since December 1, 1896. It is as-follows: ol !

As a result of the season’s operations at the cod stations in New England 180,000,000 eggs were collected, from which 98,000,000 fry were liberated on the natural spawning grounds along the coast of Massachusetts. The results secured were 40,000,000 in excess of the previm@r year. At the completion of the cod work the propagatiqn of the flat-fish (winter flounder) was undertaken at Wood’s Hole, Mass., on a scale much’ larger than heretofore, as evidenced by an output. of over 64,000,000 of fry from a total collection of 80,000,000 eggs—69,ooo,ooo in excess of the .previous year. To further extend the propagation of the lobster, over 128,000,000 eggs were secured, producing 115,000,000 ‘fry—an increase of 20,000,000. To further test the feasibility jof the introduction of quinnat salmon in eastern waters, 5,000,000 eggs were transferred from Battle Creek (Cal.) station during the fall of 1896, and as a result 4,000,000 fry were lib-~ erated during the past spring in the St. Lawrence, Hudson and Delaware rivers in Maine. Theacclimatizationof the steel head trout in eastern waters were continued. The rainbow trout; native only to the mountaln streams of the Pacific coast, has been successfully acclimatized in. nearly every state east of ‘the Rocky mountains. Reports from all sections of the “‘country indicate the successful naturalization of the large-mouth black bass in streams hitherto unoccupied by them. Last summer the Albatross entered on an important examination of salmon. streams of Alaska. The very active prosecution of the fisheries in certain streams threatens{to seriously reduce the supply unless effective measures are taken to overcome the destruction. The conditions are so various along the 3,000 miles of the Alaskan coast, on which the salmon fishing 1s done, that no general protection law can be formed that will apply to all regions. The lake fisheries have also received particylar attention, and although, owing to restrictive legislation, the fleld for collection of lake trout and white ‘fish, whith has beern confined to Lakes Superior, Erie and Ontario, a larger collection than in the past is anticipated. .

LORD MAYOR’S PROCESSION.

London Citizens Attest Their Regard for the Retiring Official.

London, Nov. 10.—In spite of a thick drizzle and a heavy fog the ancient custom of presenting the elected chief magistrate of London to the representatives of the sovereign and to the people was observed with success. But, in spite of the weather, a more stirring proof of the popularity of London’s yearly pageant, known as the lord ‘mayor’s procession; has not-been given in a long time—due very largely to the conspicuously brilliant Fear of office of the retiring chief magistrate, Rt. Hon. Sir George Faudell Phillips, Bart K./G., C. L E. Even the radical critics who/annually protest against the existence of the corporation of London within the area dominated by the county council had nothing but praise for the altogether admirable official career of Lord Mayor Phillips; which has given the quietus for years to come to any serious attempt at abolishing the corporation. e

TO CLEAR THE DECKS.

Important Questions Between Canada and Uncle Sam to Be Considered.

Washington, Nov.lo.—Theauthorities here have.been advised that the arrival to-day of Sir Wilfred Laurier, premier of Canada, Sir Louis Davies, minister of marine in the Laurier cabinet, and other ‘officials of the dominion is to have an important bearing not only on the Behring sea settlement, but on all the pending questions which have been sources of international complication between the United States and Canada, namely, the passage of alien laborers to and from Canada, -the North Atlantic fisheries question, the presence of many Americans in the Klondike territory belonging to Canada and.in the mining regions of British Columbia, the fisheries trouble along the great lakes, the bonding privilege granted Canadian railroads, the controversy over rights in the ‘Frazer river, British Columbia and in the Puget sound, and also the question of a reciprocity arrangement between the United States and Canada.

: The Markets.- i g CHICAGO, Dec. B,—The marked decline in the New York stock market during the last few days could not fail to=have a depressing effect on coms modities of all sorts which are pablicly dealt in, and wheat was.no. exception to the general rule. o The May option touched 90 cents early In the session today, and while this decline was in a mes&ure due to lower prices reported from abroad; it is also true that the liquidation going on in New York had a chilling effect. Of course, both in the case of stocks and grains, this shrinkage of values will be but temporsry, and the feeling here 1s that it is especially true in the case of cercals. Schwartz, Dupee & Co.’s advices as to the candition of the growing winter wheat are that in no State is the acreage sown nearly up to former years, and while this is of itself an important bull factor, it is also true that owing to late sowing and poorly prepared ground (this latter on account of the seyere drought), the dangers to the young crop, which will be exposed during the next three months, are more numerous than ever. Added to this is the fact that wheat is better held, both by farmers and traders, than ever before.. Mills are buying only what is required for daily con~ sumption, owing to the high price, and the foreigners are pursuing the same course. Still the demand from abroad continues excellent. and‘ with this substantial backing to the market friends of wheat are very contident of their position. : ¥ ' Corn while inactiye, has plenty of friends. The visible supply - today showed a decrease for the first time in many weeks, and farmers’ deliveries are very light. That the government estimate is far aboye the uctual yield is now generally believed, "~ Proyisions are steady at a low range of prices, but the buying has improved of late with a good cash trade..
