Field Marshal Oyama reports the

MALARIA; NOT YELLOW FEVER
Greatest Trouble on the Isthmus, Says
Secretary Taft.

Washington, March 13.-Secretary
Taft, after brief talk with the presi-
dent today, said it was a mistaken re.
port that yellow fever was on the in
crease in the American zone on the
isthmus Of Panama.
"In fact" said the secretary, ''it is
not yellow fever which will give us
the most trouble on the isthmus, but
malaria, which is very prevalent.
Eventually while there are some cases
of yellow fever in the American zone,
we shall be able to stamp out the dis
ease. 1t will be hard fight, however,
to reduce the trouble arising from
