CHOLERA IN JAPAN
1t Is Working Frightful Havoc Among the
SoIdiery

VICTORIA, b. c., August 15.-Ah
though passengers arriving by the Orien-
tai liners that have reached here this
week agree in the statement that cholera
is working frightful havoc in Japan, the
newspapers Of that country contain 10
reference to the devastation of the
plague. This is probably due to the fact
that the disease finds its vicims chiefly
among soldiers recently returned from
the front. ard the government therefore
takes advantage of the law relating to
press censorship to its full extent. Ac-
cording to officers of the Victoria, and Of
the more recently arrived Empress of
Japan, the military has suffered loss of
and the princi t,al stations of Japan are
at present converted into great hospitals.
The Formosa expedition has proved
especially disastrous.

Yucatsn Indians viii Be Punished

MERIDA, Yucatan, August 15. There
Is great enthusiasm over the intention of
President Diaz, as announced in the City
OF Mexico, to occupy Balcar with a strong
force Of toops. The Santa Cruz Indians
are filed with dismay because they now
realize that their depedations are to be-
severely punished. Many of THESE In
dians are fleeing to Belize to accept
British hospitality among the people who
for many years have been furnishing them
arms and ammunition. 1t is not be-
lieved that the leaders of the Indians can
bring over 600 into the field against the
Mexican troops. Ten thousand Yuca-
tanese now employed in cutting dye
woods in Honduras will return to take
up farms at Baclair directly the troops
succeed in dislodging the hostile In
dams now there.

Mr.. Ballard, in answer to the COM

room ou the front part OF the lot. But

Officer Leffen making the arrest about 10
p. M. and Notwithstanding his protests
allowed to prove by the conductor that he
came in as passenger. Leffen hurried
him to the city bastile. searched him and
then went to report to his superior,
United States Marsal Pourade. but that
officer suspected that all was notJweh and
sent Leffen back with IS and orders that
Danbar should .be released and given
the money to pay his expenses for the
night. This was not satisfactory to Dam
bar, cand he demanded to be taken before
Pourade &C once. This was finally done.
and it did not take Fred Pourade long to
see that big mistake had been made,
and the sooner it was righted the better
for all concerned. Mr. Danbar was IN.
formed that he was at liberty, his prop
erty was restored and he was escorted to
the hotel, where he found lodgings for
the night.
He is still in the city and has present.
