Fear Yellow Fever.
Nnw York, Aug. -12. A dispatch
from Corunna, via Hendaye, says,
Great dissatisfaction prcyalls here
and at Vigo and S.mtander be
cause these points have been selected
for the sanitary camp to receive
General Toral's arnly. Exaggerated
reports of yellow, fover and other di
seases that the troops are likely to
bring with them have caused a panic
among the Ignorant people.
The population of these northwest
ern proylnccs Is absolutely apposed to
the continuation of the war under
any pretext, whatever, and this Is es
pecially bo In tha seacoast towns,
which would undoubtedly surrender
at the very iirst sight of an American
ship, In oraer to avoid bombardment.
The people In the towns and In the
country have an adequate supply of
provisions, and the cost of living In
this part of Spain Is no dearer now
than before the war.
General discontent against the gov
ernment Is noticeable, but the people
neither need leaders nor money to as
sume actlye hostilities.
Meanwhile, the attitude of the
army Is anxiously observed, for in the
popular belief It Is now the army
alone which controls the situation.

Train Hold -Up.
St. Joskph, Mo., Aug. 12. The
southbound Hurllngton exposition
llycr was held up two miles north of
this city ati) o'clock last night by
live men well armed, who rolled the
Adams Express Company's safe out of
the express car and attempted to haul
It away, They abandoned their tusk
soon af ter-wltliout getting any money,
It Is said. The safe was recovered two
hours after the hold-up.
Engineer William Gardner obeyed
signal to stop, and one of the robbers
cut loose tho engine, running it! down
the track 200 yards Conductor Wil
liam Ilcaton was ordered by the
robbers aboard tho smoker and
remained there. Fifteen shots were
llred to terrorise the passengers. No
attempt was made by the robbers to
enter tho coaches.
Express Messenger Frank lloguc of
fered no resistance when tho bandlu
entered his car. Tho robbers were
but a few minutes In rolling out the
small safe and quitting the scene of
the robbery. Though the rallioad and
express men here statu that the lub
bers got nothing, it Is reported that
considerable booty was secured.
aoTNO hoot.
Kansas City, Aug. 12. The Adams
Express Co. states positively that no
booty had been secured by the robbers
whoi held up tho Uurllngton train
near St, Joseph Mlssourla. No trace
of the outlaws have yet been discov
ered. Kanhab City. Mo., Aug. 12. Soon
after tho express robbery on tho llur
llngtou road was reported here, a rail
road olllclal, who ought to havo been
well Informed, inside tho statement
that the robbors secured $8280 from
tho safe which thoy took from the
Adams Express company's car.
Shocking Scene at a Funeral.
Cincinnati, O., Aug. 12. A shock
ing scene occurred here today, when
the remains of Mrs. Elizabeth Wink-
elnian were about to be lowered Into
the grayc. She died In New York,
and her remains were taken from the
train to Spring Grove cemetery. On
the same train were the remains of
Captain W. D. Sherman, a Kansas
volunteer, wounded at Santiago.
It was not Intended to open the
Wlnkelman casket here, but a sister
of the deceased made the request at
the grave. When the undertaker
discovered that he bad the remains of
a captain In uniform and not that of
the aged lady, he did all he -could to
appease the doubly stricken relatives.
The baggageman put off the wrong
casket. The railway olUclals tele
graphed for the return of the Wlnk
elman casket, and that of Captain
Sherman was sent on the next train,
Captain Sherman was wounded and
brought to the hospital at Washing
ton. Ills case was not considered
serious. Miss Wycr went to Washing
ton for their marriage on the date
previously llxed. While she was en
route East the captain became worse,
and died a lew hours before she
reached him at, Washington. She
does not)ct know or the baggageman's
blunder, but when the train arrives
at St. Louis she will be no tilled that
tho casket has been delayed.
Cuba's Future.
Washington, Aug. 12. Plans for
the temporary government of Cuba
and the territory which will be ac-
oulred fromSnaln as a result of the
war, arc now under serious consider
tlon by the president and the mem
bersoftne cabinet. Porto Rice, as
an actual acquisition to the territory
of the United Stales, will be placed
In charge of a military governor who
will exercise n sunervisorv control of
all the functions of government un
der the direction of the president,
until congress shall determine upon a
permanent form of government for
the Island. Upon the evacuation of
Cuba, It Is believed to be the inten
tion of the president to establish for
the whole Island, a temporary mill
tary government similar to that now
in operation in Santiago.
When order has been fully restored
and the people have settled down to
their peaceful occupation, It Is be
llcvcd to be the view of the president
that a convention of the representa
tives of the people should be called to
vote upon the question of a form of
government for the Island. The pres
ence of the army of the United States
would be a guarantee that every citi
zens, who would subscribe to the oath
binding hlmselfto support whatever
form of government should be agreed
upon, should have the unquestioned
right to vote for whomsoever he
pleased to represent iil.ii. Tills would
however, have to bo submitted to the
United States for approval or disap
proval. It is held that this convention of
the representatives of the whole peo
ple, in the fiee exercise of their
choice, might express the wish to be
come a colonial dependence of the
United States, or might favor a
republican form of government, or
possibly a majority might ask to be
annexed to the United States.
In either of these contingencies it
is believed that their wish would
meet the approval of the president
and his advisers.

Merritt's Campaign in the Philibpines,
Washington. D. C. Aug. 1L Gen
eral Mcrrltt undoubtedly Is pushing
his campaign in Luzon. It is pus
Itively said that he is under t.o re
straining orders from tho war de
partment; but that It Is left entirely
to his own discretion, when and how
to attackManlla. Inasmuch as it lias
been reported from Caylte, that lie
was simply awaiting the arrival there
of the doublcturretcd monitor
Monadnock, it Is presumed this at
tack will soon follow if it has not
been made already, for according to
the calculation uf the navy depart
ment the Monadnock is about due
now at Cavite.
While not quite clear as to General
Merritt'biiiirpose In deferring his at
tack until the vessel arrives, It is the
opinion of the military olUclals that
his plan is to plant the two monitors,
the Monterey and the Monadnock, di
rectly within range of th Manila
boattcrles, and If the demand for the
surrender is refused to batter down
these defenses. Only fully armored
vessels can bosafelj employed on such
work, henco the delay on account of
non-arrival of the Monadnock. The
ordnanic department of the army has
succeeded, at last, in securing asmoke-
less power adapted for use in the
Sprlnglield rllies, with which nearly
all the volunteer troops are armed.
The Jpowdcr used rvitli the small
bore and repeating rllies was too
powerful and a special powder had to
piocured.

Salisbury Criticised.
London, Aug. 12. All the morning
papeis, Including the supporters or
the government, attack Lord .Salis
bury for weakness in dealing with the
Chinese question. The Daily Chron
icle says:
"What Is to be tho result, nobody
can say, Thero Is room for the
gloomiest forebodings. Dues the
country realize that for want of a
llttlo foresight and tlnunes Great
Britain may. ere long, be plunged Into
a colossal war? Such, without the
least doubt of exaggeration, Is the
appalling possibility."
The Dally Mall says;
"Thedcor Is closed. Tho proudly
boasted Iiritlsh Hon docs not oxlst In
thoYangtsc valley. It Is a mistake;
and, looking to what Lord Salisbury
has done In Egypt, his failure in
China Is explicable."
