A FEVER COMMISSION
Experiments Made as to the Propa-
cation of Yellow Fever.
MOSQUITOES SPREAD The DISEASE
DR.. Reed Satisfied That There Is No COnta-
gion from an Infected Person or Infect.
ed Clothing, but People Are Infected
by the Mosquitoes Bite.

Havana, Jan. 1O.-The American
commission under the superintend-
ence of DR.. Reed, which has been max
ing examinations at Quemados as to
the propagation of the yellow fever
germs BY the mosquito, has obtained
extremely satisfactory results. DIR.
Reed says the experiments show be-
You'd a doubt that there is no con-
tagion from an infected person or
from infected clothing, but that the
mosquitoes alone are responsible for
the spread of the disease. In the
course of the commissions investiga.
tons six non-immune persons were
infected by the bite of mosquitoes
which had previously bitten yellow
fever patients, and five of these de-
veloped yellow fever.
The last experiment made proved
conclusively, DR.. Reed contends, the
theory of propagation by mos nitos.
A special building was CONSTRUCTED
of disinfected material, and one OF
the rooms divided into two sections
by wire mosquito screen. In one
section We're placed disinfected bed.
ding and clothing and in the other
bedding and clothing from the vel
low fever hospital which had not been
dsinfeeted. Two non-immunes occu-
pied the two sections. In the former
were put several infected mosquitoes
The patient remained in this room
only long enough to be bitten, and
in four days q pronounced case OF
yellow fever developed. The patient
is now convalescent. The other sub
iect slept in the infected bedding for
many nights and has not contracted
the fever. Both patients have been
sleeping for 20 nights in garments
worn by yellow fever victims and in
bedding from the yellow fever hos.
pital. DR.. Reed says that they are
growing fat and that in no instance
in the course Of the commissions in
vestigations has case of yellow fever
developed from exposure from in
fected bedding or clothing.

BoER PEACE COMMISSION.


New York, Jan. 10.-Montague

is perfectly natural" said Mr. White,
shat those Beers who have surren-
dered voluntarily to the British and
who have taken the oath of neutral
ity should be most anxious to return
to their farms, but they have less in
fuencing foreign opinion, and hope
than the British soldiers who are OPP
posing them. dismiss the idea that
these peace overtures are being ex-
plotted for home consumption in
England or for the purpose of in
fuencing foreign opinion, and hope
that the publication of such reports
is only evidence of wiser policy on
the part of the British government.
As the names of Botha and Dewet
are mentioned in connection with the
so-called peace meetings it is as well
to state that the names are almost as
common in South Africa as those Of
Brown and Robinson in England.
Everyone will welcome an equitable
settlement by which this deplorable
tragedy in South Africa can be salts
factorily ended, but must protest
against these so-called overtures be-
ing seriously accepted as indicating
any relaxation of the purpose of those
in the field to continue the war until
equitable terms have been obtained"

Washington, Jan. 10.-Count Quadt,
of the German embassy, had an in
terview with Acting Secretary Hill
yesterday concerning some Of the in
cidental phases of the Chinese ques-
ton, but not on the latest proposition
of the United States which is being
presented through the United States
embassy in Berlin. 1t appears to be
the general sentiment among diplo-
matte officials that the most pressing
question is the attitude of the EN-
press dowager opposing the peace
terms and the strong indication that
these terms will not be signed by the
ENJOYS. Germany is not yet willing
to define her position with reference
to Secretary Hays proposal to trans
fer the Pekin negotiations to Wash
ington, according to statement
made by high foreign Office official
to representative of the Associated
press yesterday, because an exchange
OF views between the cabinet on the
subject is now proceeding. The Ger
man foreign Office, however, believes
Mr.. Conger's view of the attitude of
the empress dowager is correct and
that the position of the Chinese court
at Sianfu is growing more and more
untenable, rendering it probable that
the powers will soon succeed in per-
suadng the imperial personages to re-
turn to Pekin.
