The news from outside the city shows
the continued seriousness of the situa-
ton. Definite information was received
from DR.. D. j. Devron, the state board
of health physician sent to Leeville, at
the mouth of Bayou La Feurche, few
days ago. His report shows that the
first news received from there was not
exaggerated. During two days of work
there he found 50 positive cases of
yellow fever, So suspected cases and
las cases of dengue.
He adds: There are about 300 houses
and families here and I do not think
there is single house which has not
one or more cases of sickness. The
people are completely distracted. All
seem to have lost ambition to work.
They are completely demoralized."

as the situation is beyond the capacity

LONDON, Aug. 23.-The Portsmouth,
N. H., correspondent of the Times states
that there is real hope for peace and
that the Japanese are ready to arrange
settlement in a way that will save
Russian dignity and honor. Apparently.
says the correspondent, the basis of this
settlement is the retention by Russia of
a portion of the island of Sakhalin and a,
payment of money in lieu of indemnity.
The Morning Post, which throughout
the war has strongly identified itself
with the Japanese side, in a dispatch
from its correspondent at Portsmouth
published this morning, declares that
the peace of Portsmouth is within
measurable distance" The correspon-
dent asserts that both sides will make
substantial concessions for the sake of
peace. Russia, he says, will pay Japan
a sum in the guise of expenses for the
maintenance of prisoners, ETC., and
Sakhalin will be divided, Russia re-
tanning the northern and Japan the
southern part Japan will abandon her
claims as to the interned warships and

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 22.-
Henry Durham, a prospector on the des-
ert in this vicinity, had a narrow
escape from frightful death In a
gulch near Kesler Springs last Satur-
day, word of which has just reached
this city.
Durham, with two other prospectors
named Benson and Chase, from Los
Angeles, was working in the neighbor-
hood Of the Kesler Springs country. On
Saturday morning they separated, each
taking a different route for the day
and agreeing to meet at a common
point that night.
While working on the edge of deep
gulch Durham missed his footing and
was thrown into the bottom of the
gulch, among the rocks. In the fall
his leg was broken and he suffered in
ternal injuries which rendered him
helpless. He lost his water canteen
in the fall and lay in half-uncon-
scious condition beneath the broiling
sun all day, having nothing to eat but
a part of a loaf of bread. He gave
up hope and lapsed into an uncon-
scious state.
That evening an another prospector,
whose name has not been learned, lost
a burro and started out on a hunt for
the animal. He came to the mouth of
the gulch and started up the same,
though he said that he had no idea of
finding the animal there. Suddenly he
came on mans hat and from the
looks of the same was convinced it had
not been there long. He made a search
and soon found Durham lying uncon-
scious at the bottom of the gulch.
He quickly returned to his camp and,
securing help. got the injured man out
and to where medical aid could be Sc
cured.
Durham was brought to the county
hospital. where he is making rapid re-
covery, though his condition was at
first believed to be serious.

FOREIGN IMMIGRATION
RESOLUTION SHELVED
National Irrigation Congress Objects
to Injection of Purely Political
Issue Into Its Proceedings


BY Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 22.-The Ma
tional Irrigation congress today con-
sidered subjects kindred to reclamation
of arid lands in sectional meetings.
There was an apparently wide differ
ence between the officials of the re-
clarnation service and the delegates on
the effectuality of the present national
law. The resolutions committee, before
whom the actual work of the congress
is proceeding, emphatically set it's foot
down today on the foreign immigration
resolution introduced at the general
session yesterday by William Smythe of
California. Judge ]. E. Raker of Cali
fornia opposed the resolution on the
ground that it was move to inject a
political issue into the proceedings of
the congress. The subject has been
disposed of temporarily.
Another resolution of which the COM
n1ittee sounded the death knell was one
which favored amending the reclama-
ton law in the interest of large land
holders.

Special to The Herald
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Former
Chief Engineer j. f. Wallace of the
Panama canal will be given a chance
to tell his story to congress through the
congressional committee during the
coming winter. Mr.. Wallace has been
a great deal talked about but has said
nothing since he resigned his position.
Charges more and more openly made
and more and more specific involve
canal managers, and congressional in
vestigation is considered almost cer-
tainty. If it is made Wallace will be
the star witness. He knows more about
the canal than anybody else. He has
not told it, but there is little doubt he
would tell it If he had an opportunity
to tell it to a friendly audience.
1t is insisted that money spent on
the canal thus far has been wasted and
that the commission admits this by
stopping all excavation in order to turn
attention to sanitation and preparing
quarters for the workers. Enemies of

is that this waste of millions will not
be multiplied in the future IL the pres
ent methods continue.
That a determined effort will be made
to kill the entire project; to convince
congress and the country that the Pan
anna route was mistake and to move
the whole enterprise off to Nicaragua
has been reported for some time.
Worse things than mere mismanage-
ment are charged. 1t is alleged that
the canal is being made and is likely
to continue to be made a national goose
laying golden eggs for the favored con-
tractors; that supplies are bought with
out reference to the needs but with a
view to the desires of the contractors
to furnish them at good prices; that
there is such a lack of coordination
among the different departments of the
canal management that time and
money are wasted for lack of organiza-
ton.

OYSTER BAY, Aug. 22.-Edwin H.
Conger of Iowa has resigned his post
as ambassador to Mexico, to take eff
feet October IS next, and President
Roosevelt has accepted the resignation.
Mr.. Conger's retirement from the dip
lomatic service was foreshadowed in
these dispatches last week. 1t was in
dicated then that he might be sent to
Pekin as a special commissioner of the
president to adjust, if possible, the
differences which have arisen between
this country and China over the boy
colt of American goods by some Chi
nese commercial guilds, but no official
statement is obtainable here regarding
the mission and there are reasons for
the statement that 1t either has been
abandoned by the president or that 1t
has been declined by Mr.. Conger. At
any rate it is believed Mr.. Conger will
not go to China as a Representative of
the government.
It has not been determined definitely
yet who will succeed Mr.. Conger as
ambassador. to Mexico, but it probably
will be David f. Thompson of Nebras-
ka, now American ambassador to Bra
zil. 1t is known that Ambassador
Thompson desires the Mexican post.
In connection with the appointment
