The latest of ficial advices received up to 8 o'clock tonight show a total of 88 cases and seven deaths from yellow fever at the soldiers' home at Hampton, Va. One new case developed at the home today. Thus far the disease has been confined to the home, bnt all surrounding'towns are excited, and a vigorous quarantine is being maintained. Y : ; Dr. Wasdin, of the marine hospital service, is now in charge of affairs at Hampton, and is working in co-operation with the looal boards of health; He has strengthened the gordon about the town ol Phoebus, which he reports 1u . very bad sanitaiy"ondition.T-The fact that only one new case appeared today is encouraging to the officials here, who are taking every measure to prevent a spread of the disease. They feel that the fact that the affected lo cality is in the hands of the govern ment and under one management, will be of great value in dealing with the scourge, and enable better results to be obtanied than where epidemics broke out in commercial places. Hilo is Out of Danger. : Honolulu, July 25, via San Francis co, Aug. 2. The latest reports lrom the volcano of Mauna Loa, received to day by way of Kalaieha, is to the effect that a great change took place in the bourse of the lava flow on the night of July 18. The mighty stream of burning lava which was steadily flowing toward the town of Hilo and threatening its destruction, has been diverted in its course so that the dang er to life and property is less immi nent than at the time of the previous mail advices, from here. Ever sinoe the flow, began, July 4, the course of the stream of lava has been from the high est active cones down to the mountain nearly due east, past all the sources of lava till it reached and partly crossed the . flow of 1880. Then it turned abruptly to the north in the .direction of Kalaieha, on the side of Mauna Loa. It spread all over .the side of the moun tain, occupying an area almost a mile wide.' This was the condition of things up to the night of July 18. Some time during that' night the first part of the stream, flowing east ward, broke through its banks about half way from its source, to where it turned northward down the mountain parallel 'with the old channel, but further west. ThiB , is carrying the lava less directly toward Hilo and keeping it neater the ridge which di vides lrom the slope-off in the direction of the Kohala coast. Y.Y , . The lava flow , from . Mauna Loa has changed its course and the city of' Hilo is no longer in danger. .No Remedy for Southern Lynchings. New York, Aug. 2. Governor D. M. Jones, of Arkanss, replying to a query from the Times as to the cause of lynohings in the South, said: "In my judgment, the so-called de lays ia the administration of criminal law so far as Arkansas is concerned have not been the cause of the lynch ing of any person accused of crime. The lynohings in this state have gen- rerally been in cases of rape and attempt ed rape, and especially when the as sault has been made by a negro upon a white woman. This crime is so hein ous and revolting that all the laws in the world, no matter how severe the punishment or how speedy its inflio tion, cannot in my judgment prevent lynchings when the accused falls into the hands of the enraged mob. - "I can suggest no remedy, because there is none except the cessation of the crime itself. Of course this is to be deplored because it is always best that the 1iw should be permitted to take its regular course, but as long as human nature remains as it is, the con ditions in this respect will not be im proved." Boycott in Cleveland. Cleveland,' Aug. 2. Every branch of the Big Consolidated system was in full operation today, but cars carried few, if any, passengers.' The bocyott is becoming the most important factor in the struggle. The company offi cials say it is bound to fall of its own weight within a few days. On the other hand labor leaders declare the boycott has juBt begun "and that when it reaches its full scope all classes and all interests will be affected. The ooroner today found Hawley, non-union conductor who shot and killed Henry Cornswelt, guilty of kill ing without provocation or excuse. Hawley is in jail. Report on Smelter Strike. Denver, Aug. 2. The state board of arbitration today filed its report on the investigation of the smelter strike. The decision reached is a compromise between the demands of the smelter men and the concessions of the compan ies. The question of union or . non union laboi 1 is ignored. - It is thought both sides will aocept the decision, and work will be resumed soon. .. ' Five Killed In an Kzplnsion. Detroit, Aug. 2.

There are 4,000 old veterans at the home, and several large exclu sion parties went there last week. Norfolk, Va., Aug. 1.

Hampton has been quarantined from OTd Point, and the trolley oars stopped tunning to the former place tonight. "- RAN v INTO A WRECK. Cause of the Smashup of the Chicago - Kxpress at Lncks vaxon. ' Port Jervis, N. Y.,' Aug. 1. The ac oident on the Erie railroad, growing out of 'the landslide a mile east ol Lackawaxon last night, was not so ser ious as at first reported. Only the fire man and engineei of the derailed en gine of the westbound Chicago express which turned over on the track were killed, though a number of passengers on the express, the vestibule passenger tram for Buffalo and Cleveland, whioh left New York at 7 o'olock Saturday, were injured. " The wreck, which 'occurred shortly before midnight, was preceded by a cloudburst and storm whioh lasted two hours. A Section of the bank fell on thdeastbound traok diiectly in front of the freight train.-'-. Several trees Went ' down' with the rocks and earth, the freight cars and engine turning over directly across the. westbound tracks of the Erie road. Sixty freight cars con stitute the train, but only 22 were de railed, and the debris was piled up on the westbound tracks just as the Chi cago express put in an appearance, run ning 50 miles an hour. The engine of the express train crashed into - the wreck, and the baggage oar, combina tion and buffet oar and two Pullman Bleepers were piled up on the tracks immediately in front of the wrecked freight cars. The first sleeper was' split in two parts as a result of the accident, and the passengers were thrown 30 feet down a bank. Fire at once broke out, and four cars of the express train and nine pt the freight cars were burned. War Is Looked Tor. Puerto PlataSanto Domingo, Aug. 1. The situation is critioal. ' An out break is momentarily expected.

The burial of Presi dent Heureaux was conducted with fitting honors. . -.''" Governor Pepin has assembled troops in Moca, and the governor of La Vega real has 1,000 men. The minister of the treasury has ar- -rived at Moca in hot haste. The gov ernment is taking steps for the protec tion of business and the finances of the country, and expects to carry out the contemplated cancellation of the state bank notes.. In Puerto Plata there is an nrgent demand that the govern ment send a sufficient force to Mooa to hunt down the assassins of the presi- . dent. ' Protests have been made to members of the administration against the propo sition to give Canada, a port of entry, even temporarily, on Lynn canal, as such aotion would be conceding hot right to suoh a port,
