New York, Oct. 27.—Cel. George T3.
Waring, Jr., formerly street commis-
sioner of New York, is sick at his home
In this city with yelow fever contract-
ed at Havana. Commissioner William
Jenkins of the health department, made
an official statement to this effect to-
night- Col. Waring returned from Cuba
i* steamer Yucatan two days ago.
Colonel Waring whs sent to Cuba by
President M Klnley to Inspect the sani-
tary conditions of Havana. He spent some
time In that city gathering data and suc-
ceeded in collecting a vast amount of In-
formation which he intended to submit
to tho President.
Colonel Waring was taken III on board
the Yucatan on the return voyage. He ap-
parently was not seriously 111, and It was
at first supposed that ho had malarial
fever. Today his physician reported to
the board of health that Colonel Waring
was suffering from some suspicious dis-
ease. Inspector Pleuvelt, of the health
department, and Dr. White, of the ma-
rine hospital, who was formerly In charge
of the yellow fever camp at Fontalnbleu,
Fla., at once went to Colonel Wearing's
houso and made an examination. They
returned at 4 o'clock In the afternoon and
made another examination They said it
was yellow fever. Colonel Waring s tem-
perature in the morning wus 103 and In
the afternoon 102 degrees.
In the opinion of the physicians, the
case Is not a malignant one, and Colonel
Warlng's chances for recovery are good.
There is no danger of spread of v|ae -dis-
ease In this city on account of
weather.
Colonel Warlng's wife, his step-eon and
maid servant have been with him since
his arrival home. L
Mrs. Waring is overcome.
An inspector from the board of health
was at once placed on guard at the houso
and the Inspector will be constantly on
guard until his recovery.
London, Oct. 28.—The Paris rorres-
IKjndent of the Standard says:
The government has good reason to
believe that the Un.ted States intend
to retain the Philippines on the ground
that President MeKlnley must satis-
fy public opinion. The government
believes that 'the American commiss-
ion will argue the necessity of this de-
viating from -the spirit of the proto-
col on the ground that the conditions
of things in the Island of Luzon and
the archipelago renders 1t impossible
for America to ubandoned her native
allies or for Spain to re-establish her
rule, without heavy sacrifices of men
and money and finally because Spain
could not be allowed to retain poss-
ession except under conditions unpala-
table to Spain and her colonial tradi-
tions.
Spain, however, cannot yet believe
sht will be deprived of the Philippines
without some pecuniary compensation
in addition to a recognition of the Phil-
ippine loan of 1896.
Therefore, upon the qu-**tlon of the
Philippines the Spanish commissioners
will make even a stronger resistance
than they have made over Cuban debt,

We must all agree 'that if the democrats had the president, cabinet and
both branches of the llglslature Judge Keaton would be the proper man to send
to congress If we expected favorable legislation.
Why c an't we as free American citizens say to the political bosses "Ge'l be-
hind me, Satan. 1 know you not'/"
For opce in a lifetime let us assert our manhood and use the preragotive
of voting for our own interests.

but elect Dennis, obtain free homes and statehood. Then in 1900 we can affili-
ate with our own party."

DOOM CHALLENGESKEATON.
Senator J. E. Doom, since his celebrated manifesto, has been the target for
the worst kind of democratic abuse, lie was charged with being everything
under the sun but a honest man. The old Roman let the democratic storm of
abuse spend its strength and then proceeded to add fire to the flame he had al-
ready kindled by challenging Mr. Keaton to respond and answer the charges it;
the manifesto. Senator Doom's defi Is as folows:

Hon. J.TL Keaton:
Having read what I am creditably Informed Is your reply to the "Doom
Manifesto" as you are pleased to term the address of myself and other well
known populists of this county, and finding some serious rnlstatements of
facts, and a failure to attempt a reply to muany substantial charges made in
the address. 1 rtspectfully request that in your approching tour of this county
you give me an equal amount of time devoted by you to your record 'in 'ihia
county, in which to give version of your record. 1 shall not discuss any other
issues except the tax raise and perhaps fusion. In the event that you refuse
ir.y request for time, I respectfully but earnestly request you to point out the
law In our statutes which you claim authorizes the Board of Equalization to
raise the aggrega te value of property for the purpose of taxation.
There has been no legislation since you delivered your Gray vs Stiles opinnlo
The law, if uhere be such a law, was In force at that time, why was not refer-
ence made to that law by the attorneys in the syiabus, or the opinions of your*
shelf and uSlices MoAtee and Bierer in Gray vs Stiles*'
Our statute explicitly says: "Any number of persons whose property is af-
fected, may un «ie in a petition for an injunction to restrain the collodion of
an illegal tax, at any state of the proceeding."
Will you In plain English i>olnt out in -the above or any other law on the
statute books, any reference to "community of intei'tst," "township lines" or
"misjoinder of parties'*
Does not the above include owner's.of land, cattle, merchandise and all and
every kind of property'/ If so where do you get your authority for their dis
Unctions?
