No Yellow Fever.

United States Consul Willard, under date Of
Guaymas, Mexico, August 10. writes the State
Department.: Sensational reports published in
the United States that yellow fever prevails at
Guaymas and on the Pacific coast are without
foundation in fact. There has been,
he says. no case Of yellow fever in Guayamas
or at any point on the Mexico coast so far as
known; no Cases of yellow fever on the Mexican
coast Of the Pacific since 1887. The sanitary
condition OF Guaymas and the coast, he says,
has been good up to this time.

WILKES STREET IMPROVEMENTS.


The work upon the extension of Wilkes
street to the National cemetery will be begun
as early as the contracts can be made. The
long delay incident to the settlement of titles,
bounds, &c, and the survey is now over, and
the contract Will be given out early next month.
The new street will be laid cut and comple ted
this fall unless the weather prevents the work.
The street viii be extended on a gravel and
macadam roadway of the best quality from
Alfred street westerly to the Gene
terry. 1t is not unlikely that there
will be an effort made early next year to have
the whole Of Wilkes street to the river improved
in the same way by the Midland railroad au-
thorities, that have occupied the center of the
street for over forty years. The city has filled
out the street considerably across the old Tim
Der branch bottoms between Columbus and
Washington streets, and the railway authori-
ties are now engaged in grading and i'm
proving the street way at the tunnel
side between Lee and Union streets.

put up by the city. At the upper end of the
street. then called Wilkes lane, there we're two
cross streets laid out on the old deeds extend
ing from Duke street south across Wholesome
the extension Of West street called Westla and
the other, an extension of Payne street, called
Hamilton lane, and these lanes would doubtless
long ago have been opened. but after the ces-
sion of Alexandria to the District Of Columbia,
in the latter part of last century, the southwest
suburbs Of the town were left in Virginia, and
since the return of the town to Virginia in 1S47
these suburbs have been outside of the corpora
ton. SO that the streets or lanes were never
opened. On the opening of New Wilkes street
it may be that the lateral lanes may be opened
by the property owners.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The applications for entrance into the public
schools are greater this year than ever before,
$50 white boys and 40 white girls having OBJ
tanned permits. and the examination Of the
pupils still goes on. All the white teachers
have passed examination and have taken charge
of their schools and studies will begin on Mon
day next. The issue of permits to pupils of
the colored schools begun this morning and at
noon over 500 permits had been issued.

1t is stated here on good authority that Mr.
Charles r Flint of New York did not accept the
position Of CHILEAN consul of New York, ten
dered him by President Balmaceda. The reasons
why he declined to accept it were, it is said,
because Of the fact that he was already the &C.
credited consul from Chilli to one of the Central
American counties and the laws of Chill preclude
any person from holding the Office of consul to
more than one country at the same time.
