dispatches from Memphis report
the situation considerably more
hopeful. 1t is even hoped that the
worst is over. The theories of the
most learned physicians about the
disease are being overturned. 1t is
now known that those who have
had the fever once are not certain
of immunity from the same dis
ease, cases disproving the old idea
having occurred this year already. |
One refugee left Memphis in a
small skiti, there being no steamers
or railway trains. Several sporadic
cases of fever are reported about
the country, including fatal ca se
in New York, but no fear of a
spread of the disease is entertained.

De Lesseps CrIticizrd.
NEW YORK, August 1st.-The
World criticlZes the dispatches of
yesterday, in which lie Lesseps as
sures his hearers that the Ameri-
cans are not hostile to his canal
projects, and says: He has no
ground whatever for counting upon
the acquiescence of the United |
States in his scheme under its pres
ent conditions, and it ought to have
become plain to him loug before
this, and will certainly become
plain to all investors at very
early day. The official publication
of Admiral Ammen's report will
emphasize to the whole world the
amazing fact that the scheme of
De Lesseps was conceived, worked
up and carried through a private
Congress which he caused to be as
-embled at Paris, not only without
consulting the most experienced |
engineers who have surveyed the
Isthmus, but in the very face of
their remonstances and of full eX-
position of their remOustrances. |
Fhe whole world will be apprised
of the determination of the Ameri-
can people not to permit the estab-
lishment on the Isthmus of Pana-
ma of an European protectorate
over the commerce connecting the |
Atlantic and Pacific States. Moth
ing could be more untrue Than that
the opposition to it in this country
has been set on foot by the existing
Pacific railway monopolies. This Is
so far from being true that the eX-
