GOOD FIGHT GOES on
Forces o. Science Arrayed Against
the Yellow Peril al Nav
Orleans.
GASES CONTINUE TO INCREASE
Said to Yield to Treatment Faster
Than observation-disclosures Report
ing Doctors and Druggists
Give Trouble.

New ORLEANS, La, Aug. 15.-Partly
as a result of left over cases from
Sunday, and partly from the fact that
the inspectors were able to put in a
full days work, there was again a
large number Of new cases of yellow
fever reported, the bulk of them, as
before, coming from below Canal
street. That section is now very gen
orally infected, though there are some
areas of it whic hhave thus far entire
ly escaped. The official report to 6
p. N. shows: New cases, 30; total to
date, 1,01S; deaths yesterday, 12 total
deaths to date, 16G; new foci 8; total
fOci to date, 21O.
Serious Epidemic Not Expected.
Slow progress is made by the disease
in what is known as the American
portion OF the city, and with few ex-
ceptiOnS the cases there are isolated.
The health authorities are still unable
to assert whether the high water mark
in the matter of daily cases has been
reached, and they consider it too early
to hazard a guess al the extent of
the victory which they expect to win,
but with large proportion Of the
cases responding to good treatment
they do not believe there is any chance
that the disease can approach to the
proportion of any of the serious cpl
denies of the past, though the popula-
ton of New Orleans is almost double
what it was in 1878.
Trouble with the Doctors.
Some infection has existed in scat
tered quarters where local doctors
have resented the activity of inspec-
tors in cases which they have them
selves reported. Concerning a state
ment that druggists have been pre-
scribing for patients in order that fam
lilies might avoid reporting sickness to
the authorities, DR.. White said that
he did not consider it within the line
Of his duty to prosecute druggists who
prescribed without a doctors certifi-
cate, but that he would act towards
them as he would towards physicians
If he learned that they were purposely
concealing cases.
How the Fever Was Spread.
Twelve cases of yellow fever have
been reported near Pointe-a-La Hache
in Plaquemine parish. They are I'M
derstoOd to be italians who left New
Orleans in the middle of the excite
ment, following the discovery of the
nest of cases in the old French market
quarter. Several hundred Italians at
that time sought refuge in Plaquemine
DR.. SchayOt, the health officer of Pla-
quemine, has isolated the patients, and
will repeat all the precautions that
have been taken here to prevent the
spread of the disease. The cases are
not in contact with any settlement,
and it is not expected that there will
be any spread Of the fever.

Peace Talk at Portsmouth Seems
To Be Making Pretty Rapid
Progress.
ENJOYS GIVE OUT VERY LITTLE
Report Of the Proceedings Is Of the
Briefest Kind.
Practical Armistice Now Exists on the
Firing Line in Manchuria-En- ;.
voys Get Much Unsought
Advice.

Portsmouth, n. H., Aug. 15.-The
following official statement of the aft
ernoon session of the peace confer
ence as made by Sato: "In the after
noon meeting of the conference of Aug.
IA articles two and three were dis
cussed and disposed Of, and at 6
O'Clock the conference adjourned until
tomorrow, Tuesday morning, at 9:3O
O'clock"
1t was similarity officially reported
Mt noon that during the morning con-
ference article l had been disposed of.
Article l is said to grant Japan pre-
dominance In Korea, and its DISPOSE
ton was in the affirmative.
No Battle in Manchuria.
1t seems to be taken for granted
among the attaches Of both the Jap
enese and Russian missions that there
will be no general battle in Manchura
while the peace negotiations are on.
Oyama is known to be prepared to
strike the moment the negotiations
fail, and there may be more or less
diminishing and outpost engagements
while the troops are getting in posi-
ton, but it is admitted on each side
that if either Oyama or Linevitch
should deliberately bring on a general
engagement, which might cost $4,000
or 100000 lives, his country would be
accused Of bad faith in the negotia-
lions here, and would inevitably lose
prestige in the eyes of the world.
Practically an Armistice Exists.
In the larger sense therefore, it can
be said that an armistice already eX-
lists in Manchuria. Should the nego-
tiations be vainly prolonged an dit be-
come evident that they were to be
fruitless, the advance of Oyama or
Linevitch might. be the signal for the
Anal rupture. The unexpected attack
on Port Arthur Nigh be repeated be-
low Hardin.
Only Hope There Is for Peace.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 15.-The Asso-
ciated Press is in a position to de-
clare that practically the only hope
entertained in high Russian official
quarters for a peace agreement at the
conference at oPrtsmOuth lies in the
expectation that Japan will recede ma
terially from her terms as published.

ing at Toledo, Ohio.

ell. i'll executive session, tonight, adopt
ed resolutions condemning Mayor
James G. Woodward. for his conduct
al the recent meeting of the League of
American municipalities at Aoledo.
The resolutions were passed by a vote
of 10 affirmative. to two against. The
resolutions declare that while Mayor
Woodward was attending the conVen-
tion in his official capacity, he ap-
peared on the floor of the convention in
state of partial intoxication. that he
made a spectacle of himself, bringing
discredit upon this city and outraging
the feelings and sentiments of the peo-
pie; that this conduct Is not typical Of
Atlanta and that it Is most severely
censured and condemned. 1t was di-
rected that a copy of the resolutions
be sent to the mayor of Toledo, the Of
ficers of the League of American NUM-
cipalities and through The Associated
Press to the leading journals through
out the country.

his talk at Toledo. and while admitting

THE MAINE NAVAL RESERVE
Will Put in a Bid for the Old Revenue
Gutter Woodbury..

1t was learned, Thursday. at Port
land, that the Maine Naval Reserve is
to make an effort to get the old
revenue cutter Woodbury. given to 1t
by the United States govern
ment when the new cutter to be
assigned this station is built. This
would give the local company a steam
er on which they could practice live
and have their quarters and would al
so give them their own vessel for their
annual cruise.
1t was learned, today, that a move
ment was on foot in Boston to get
the old revenue cutter Dallas, former
ly stationed here. for the Massachusetts
Naval Reserve and il is said that the
government has consented to the plan.
This fact gave the Maine Naval Reserve
an idea and it is understood that they
will begin Immediately to file an appli-
cation for the old Woodbury..
1t is expected that the new revenue cut
ter for this district will be finished some
time in 1906, so that the indications are
that If the United States government
turns the Woodbury. over to the Reserve
II will be nearly a year before the Port
land organization gets possession Of her
The Woodbury. would be a great thing
for the Reserve, especially on their an
nual cruise, as the boys would be more
satisfied to have a ship OF their own than
to go onto n regular member of the Unit
ed States WarShip fleet.

THE CHOLERA.
Forty-three Gases Re-
ported in Berlin, Germany.
Nine Persons MANY
Cases Under Observation.
Russians Do Not Realize Danger On Border
Authorities Hard al Work.

Berlin, Sept 1.-Forty-three cases OF
cholera in all have been reported. Nine
persons have died from the disease and
many suspicious cases are under OBJ
servation The legal and medical
machinery for dealing with this in
vasion of the Asiastic bacillus is now
working at full pressure.
Prof Edward Sonnanburg said to
The Associated Press. tonight, that no
one need fear an epidemic such as that
of 1S92-lSs3 because the health authori-
ties since that time had built up an or
ganization quite adequate to grasp
the beginnings Of cholera and to put
down the disease with f,rmness.
With the exception of cne death at
Hamburg, the cholera is confined to
the west Prussian districts and every
case of illness in these districts must
be Immediately report ed 10 the author
tiles. An experienced physician and
bacterioiogist at once takes the cases
under observation and If the symptoms
are suspicious the person Is promptly
isolated.
The state has now detained under
medical observation nearly 1000 persons,
including the emigrantS at BrunShaven
If the same agencies and the same
spirit We're at work beyond the Russian
frontier the Prussian health admins
tration would feel satisfied with what
| Is being done. A doubt, almost
amounting to conviction exists that the
Russian administration has not yet
been aroused to the danger and that
its task OF dealing with the problem is
rlllCh mora fiiffirnlt In1l that which
confronts the authorities here. One
paper cites the recent declaration of the
Russian plague commission that since
April Il, no case of cholera has occur
red in the Russian empire.

INVESTIGATION CONCLUDED
At Boston In tho Affairs Of the ver-
mont State Prison.

Boston, Sept. 1.-The investigation
into the affairs of the Vermont state
prison at Windsor was resumed in this
city, today, in order to accommodate
several witnesses who had been sum-
moned. Chief among these was Harold
w. Harpin, son of the former warden
at the prison and who, 1t was asserted
at a previous hearing of the investi-
CATION had allowed Vernon Rogers, an
inmate, to visit the cell Of Mary Rog-
erS.
Witness told of the way the business
was conducted at the prison and par
ticularly of his relations with Vernon
Rogers. Rogers, said the witness. had
the complete run of the yard and the
building about the prison. except the
workshops and there was no reason
why he could not have secured wire.
pieces of steel and other bits of metal
and thus made a key which would tit
the lock to Mrs. Rogers cell.
John Proctor, who was a shopkeeper
at the Windsor prison and who resign
ed about March q. testified that al
most anyone of the prisoners was al
lowed to have files. saws and other
tools in their cells if they We're max
ing anything during the hours when
they We're not at work. He told Of
hanging up one prisoner by the wrists
because he needed discipline
The prisoner was suspended by his
hands, Proctor said, during which time
he promised never to curse at Surt.
Oal1es or Warden f. D. Harpin again,
who was one of the officers who
brought uEOn him the punishment
At the conclusion of Mr.. Proctor's
examination the hearing was closed
so far as Boston is concerned.
Attorney General Fits has obtaine,
a statement from General Freight
Traffic Manager Donovan Of the Boston
& Maine Railroad in regard to the
freight rates ON coal forwarded to the
Vermont state prison. These rates will
be compared with the rates to other

COMMUNICATION INTERRUPTED
Between Government and komura--
Japs In Ignorance of Terms.

portsmouth, N. H., Sept. 1.-Cable
communication between Baron komura
and his government has been interrupt
ed for the greater part of the day but
message is said to have been receiv-
ed late. tonight. Baron Komura and
Mr. Iakahira were in conference for 4
long time, tonight. 1t Is understood to
be the present intention of the Toxic
government not to make public the
conditions of peace until the ratiflca-
ton of the treaty has been exchanged.
The official explanation is that this
is the regular diplomatic method Of
procedure" but among the Japanese
considerable suspicion
has been aroused by the fact that un-
til now their cab!egrams giving the
terms of peace have not passed the
censor. They do not hesitate to say
the government is anxious about the
effect ON public opinion when it be-
comes known that Japan waived her
demand for indemnity to obtain peace.
