NO CHANGE IN SITUATION
USUAL NUMBER OF NEW CASES
OF YELLOW FEVER AT
NEW ORLEANS.

New Orleans, Aug. 14.-In spite of
the large number of cases Of fever
reported during the past three or four
days hope continues to run high here.
1t is due to the fact that there are
practical evidences that the crusade
against the mosquito is telling. More
than two weeks have now elapsed
since the death Or curing of cases at
number of points above Canal street
-and-there has been no reappearanee
of the fever where those cases exist
ed nor in the immediate neighbor-
hood. That is taken to indicate the
effectiveness of screening and disin-
fection which in the one instance has
prevented stegomyias from biting pa
tients within the first three days of
illness and in the other has worked
the destruction of all mosquitoes in
the infected houses and neighbor-
hoods.
Although there was no change in
the general fever situation the noon
reports showed a slight increase over
the same hours of the previous day in
the number of new cases and deaths.
August is a critical month when the
fever appears early in the summer,
yet the small death rate the past
week is regarded as justifying a re.
cent interview by DR.. John Guiteras OF
the Marine hospital service that the
present visitation will not reach the
proportions of any previous epidemic
The fever continues to be confined to
New Orleans and Louisiana, no new
cases being reported in Alabama OF
| Mississippi.

BATTLEsHIP KANSAS LAUNCHED.
Water From John Browns Springs
Used Instead of Wine.

d.
Philadelphia, Aug. 14.-The battle
ship Kansas, the largest vessel ever
built in the East, was launched at
12:47 p. m. at the yard of the New
York Shipbuilding company il Cam
den, N. J. The launching was wit
messed by Governor Hoch of Kansas,
whose daughter, Anna Hoch, acted as
sponsor for the ship. Along with the
governor was a party of thirty Kan
sans
An unusual feature of the launching
was the fact that the vessel was
christened with water from John
Browns springs, Camden county,
Kan, instead of the customary bottle
of champagne. This was the first time
that water instead of wine has been
used in launching a vessel in this
vicinity. Governor Hoch of Kansas
made the suggestion and he made the
announcement after the launching
that the christening bottle contained
only water.
The Kansas is a sister ship of the
Vermont, now being built at the yards
Of the Fore River Ship and Engine
Building company, Quincy, Mass. She
will have the same armament as the
battleship Minnesota, launched several
months ago at Newport News.

Officers of French Fleet Guests of
~s British Parliament.

London, Aug. 1.-THE series Of fes-
tivities in London, Portsmouth and
Cowes in honor Of the visit of the
French feet was wound up during the
afternoon by a luncheon in the house
of commons given by members of
both houses to Vice Admiral Caillard
and some 150 Of his officers. About
500 sat down to the luncheon, while
from 800 to 400 ladies occupied the
galleries. The toasts proposed and
honored bore testimony of the warmth
Of the entente cordiale which had re-
ceived such a fitting illustration by
the interchange of visits of the fleets
at Brest and Portsmouth.
Premier Balfour, many members Of
the cabinet and most Of the leaders
of the political parties were among
the hosts and their guests were con-

JAPANESE AND RUSSIAN ENJOYS
EXPECTED TO BREAK OFF
PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
MARSHAL OYAMA READY TO FIGHT
ONLY AWAITS SIGNAL OF RUP-
.TURE TO ATTACK GENERAL
LINEvlTcH. H

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 14.-So
pessimistic is the feeling among those
in the confidence of both sides that
the prediction is made that the next
meeting of the Russo-Japanese peace
conference may be the last and that
the history Of the Washington confer
ence" would be abruptly concluded.
If the negotiations are broken off
Oyama will Immediately give battle to
Linevitch. The Associated Press
learns from an unimpeachable source
that Oyama's plans are perfected, his
armies are ready and he only awaits
the signal that a rupture has occurred
to launch his attack.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 14.-Dispatches
from Portsmouth make it clear that
unless there is a very substantial
abatement of the demands of the
Japanese plenipotentiaries, which is
unlikely, the peace conference will
come to a sudden conclusion. The
two nations are SO wide apart that all
hope of agreement has been prac-
tically abandoned here. 1t is prob
able that the next session will end in
a final adjournment and that M. Witte
may sail for Europe very shortly.

Cashier of Allegheny Bank 0Mnee
High Bred Horses.

Pittsburg, Nov. l6.-The private pa
pers OF r. Lee Clark, the dead cashier
of the Enterprise National Bank of AL
legheny, which are now under examin-
alton by appraisers appointed to deter
mine the value of Clark's estate, are
said to show that Clark's outside fnan-

ago, and that he was interested in
many corporations, including several
mining ventures.
Among his holdings at the time Of
his death, it. is said, was half inter-
est i'll string of high bred Kentucky
horses.
SO confusing are the papers that
those in charge have no idea when they
can complete their work or what the
value of the estate will be. After the
work is completed a report will be sub
mitted to court, after which claims
against the estate may be presented.

There are strong indications that not
later than next spring and perhaps

Many prominent builders are dis.
