Ask Government to Take Hold.
With no intention of admitting the
fever situation to be beyond control.
but in the hope of reviving confidence
here and elsewhere in the South Of
ficals and business interests decided
yesterday to send request to Presl-
dent Roosevelt to have the United
States government assume full charge
of the struggle now in progress TO
wipe out yellow fever from New Or
leans and Louisiana. The public ap-
proves the action taken. Expectation
is that within the next two days Sur
geon General Wyman, with all the re-
sources of the government will be en-
listed actively in the campaign.
Wyman viii Take Charge.
WASHINGTON Aug 6. President

geon General Wyman, of the public
health and marine hospital service,

er to meet the situation in New Or
leans. and to notify him what further
action is advisable and possible for
the federal authorities to take.
DR.. Wyman will confer to-day with
Secretary Shaw, the surgeons in the
marine hospital service, and others as
to the best course to pursue on Gov
Blanchard's request, and on their
conclusions DR.. Wyman's report to
the president will be based.
Patrol Boats Seized.
New Orleans, Aug. 6-The Missis-
sippi patrol boats apparently thought
the appearance of the Louisiana naval
militia yesterday was purely for effect
and not to stop their further depreda-
tons in Louisiana waters. They
found out their mistake when the flag
ship of the patrol squadron, the Grace,
and another vessel, the Tipsey, sta
toned at Lake Borgne canal, were
seized their flags hauled down and the
officers and crews placed under ar
rest The crew of the Tipsey will be
taken to st. Bernard parish, while the
crew Of the Grace will be brought to
this city, both to await the action of
the grand juries of the respective
parishes in which their alleged Of
fences were committed. The Tipsey,
accompanied by launch, was guard
ing the mouth of Lake Borgne canal,
which connects Lake Borgne with the
Mississippi river, six miles distant.

BE ON QUESTION OF IN

Witte, accompanied by Mr.. Wilenken,
financial agent of the Russian embas-
sy In this country, arrived here at
11:15 o'clock last night from Boston.
Mr.. Witte was taken at once to a hO-
tel in one of the state department S
big red automobiles. He retired soon
after he had arrived, saying he had
spent the day sightseeing in Boston,
aad desired to get a cool rest before
the beginning of the conference to-
day.
In Boston Mr. Witte said:
Il do not know the Japanese con-
ditiOns of peace and therefore l could
not discuss them, even if l wished.
OF course, | can form opinions as to
what they may be and make my own
conclusions, but l do not know them.

ly, and they may be entirely different
from my own ideas"
Opposes an Indemnity.
1t was learned here from men who
have talked with Mr.. Witte during the
past few days that he is unaterably
opposed to an indemnity. In this he is
supported by public sentiment in Rus
sia. He comes here to make peace, if
peace can be made, and his position
can be described as an envoy who
wants peace but who is not willing to
purchase peace at any price
Japan, the Russians understand,
also wants peace. 1t is the opinion of
those who have talked with Mr. Witte
that he will earnestly strive for peace,
and the pessimism toward the out

Russians is more fancied than real 1t

Russians are convinced that, in the

the fishing rights. There is the best

Sakhalin island, if all other terms are
satisfactory, will not stand in the way
of peace. The Russians have been in

The question of money payment is the
rock on which the conference will
split. if it splits at ALL There is no
doubt of that.
Roosevelt Knows Terms.
It is known here that President
Roosevelt knows the Japanese terms,
Or at least has an outline of them.
He was given this information last
Saturday by Baron Komura. The
president has given no hint of his
knowledge to the Russians.
The conference will begin on
Wednesday. To-day will be given
over to the delayed functions of well
