Consul Willard, writing from Guaymas on the 27th to Captain Der mingham, agent Of the Mexican Steam ship company, of this city, says: The fever at that point is considerably abated; that since August 25th about 200 persons have died but none of any prominence except Alsur, owner of the Trinidad mine The Sonora railroad company had lost eighteen men, h. cluding the cashier and two telegraph operators.
