quences.

WASHINGTON. July l5-After am ex-
tended conference Wi}h the President TO-
night ar which three other members OF
the Cabinet were present, Secretary Al
ger said:
"rhe situation is just this: The Span

that such was the case In any event no
other concessions would be Afforded by
this government.
IL was nearly 1 o'clock when the con-
ference at the White House adjourned.
Beside Secretary Alger there were pres
ent Secretaries Bliss and Wilson and

General CDrbn left for his home he was

is accounted for by the difficulty Whicn

YELLOW FEVER IN CAMP.
Few Deaths Reported and the Disease
is of Mild Type.

WASHINGTON. July l5.-The War De-
partment officials are greatly encouraged
bv the reports on the yellow fever sltua-
tion from the army at the front. They
were fearful lest the statistics from there
might show increasing cases. but were
gr8tffe0 to-day when n dispatch came
from Surgeon Greenleaf, a member Of
General Miles stan saying that during
the mast twenty-iOur hours there haf
been only twenty-three new cases. This
was I'm marked contrast with the reports
for the previous twenty-f0ur hours which
showed a much greater spread and, with
Surgeon Greeniears statement that the
general character Of the disease Is mild,
leads the officials 10 hope that its raw
ages Will be limited and the disease VIII
be kept well within bounds. Surgeon
Greenlears dispatch is as follows:

fever and three deaths reported within
