Japan fayors Manchuria or some

YAouIs ASK FOR PEACE.
Long and Bloody Warfare Believed t0
Be at an End.

41-
Mexico City, Aug. 15.-It is report.
ed on the best authority that the
Yaqui Indians of Sonora, tired of the
long, disastrous warfare carried on
against the government, are now ask.
ing for peace and that negotiations
are actually being carried on looking
to that much desired end
The war against the Yaquis has
done incalculable damage to the state
of Sonora and has retarded the de-
velopment of its resources to a great
er extent than is generally believed.
It is understood that the peace con-
ference, which has been called to
meet at Ures, will result in settle
ment.
The claims of the Indians are that
some years ago they were given lands
to own and cultivate and that after
they reclaimed the wild lands and
put them into cultivation they werel
told that mistake had been made in
the survey and that they would have
to accept other lands, which they did
without protest, only to have the
same thing happen to them a second
time.
It is now believed that they will be-
satisfied if they are given lands in
some one of the valleys where they
can live and cultivate their crops with
the assurance that their possession Of
the land will never be interrupted.

MAGNIFICENT WORK OF AUTHOR
tiles UNABLE TO CHECK FE-
YER AT NEW ORLEANS.
SUPPRESSION OF CASES CONTINUES
FAILURE TO REPORT TO PROPER
OFFICIALS AIDS IN EXTEND
ING THE EPIDEMIC.

New Orleans, Aug. 15.-With nearly
one-half of August gone and with total
deaths since July 13 Of only 154, an
average of five day, the Marine hos
pital service authorities during the
day began the second week of their
fight against the yellow fever here.
The disease is slowly spreading in
New Orleans despite the magnificent
work of the federal authorities, but
the increase in new cases outside of
the Crescent City is almost imper-
ceptible.
In spite of all the appeals that have
been made by the press and the fed
eral authorities there is still suppress
sion of cases. One instance is that
of daughter of a well known lawyer.
She is said to have had a typical case
and to have been treated only by a
nearby druggist. When discovered by
a doctor her condition was hopeless
and she has since died. The conse-
quence is that steps are to be taken
to compel druggists to make prompt
report of all cases of illness that come
under their observation.
Dr. Leach, who came here from St.
Paul to try his arsenization theory, is
making arrangements to have test
Independent of the doctors. The New
Orleans Medical society has declared
the use of arsenic as unsound in the
ory and unproven in practice, but
there is popular feeling here that
DR.. Leach ought to have an opportu-
nifty to make his experiments. In this
connection all sorts of theories are
coming here concerning the treatment
of yellow fever and the city has been
flooded with prescriptions that are
guaranteed to be sure cures.

will repeat the request that the riks-
dag declare the Eriksakt' imperative

''The storthing will also express a
willingness to negotiate concerning
the details of dissolution. 1t is the
earnest desire of Norway to conclude
the dissolution amicably. Norway will
never retract, but everything will be
done to meet the wishes of Sweden in
other directions. II peace depends

ADMITS MISTAKE WAS MADE.
Chairman shonts Discusses Work on
the Panama Canal.

SHahHaH SHOntS discusses work on
the Panama Canal.
New York, Aug. 15.-The care of
10000 employees who will be employed
upon the Panama canal is declared by
Chairman Shonts of the Panama canal
commission, who arrived on the
steamer Mexico from Colon, to be Of
first Importance and to have prece-
dence over the actual work of digging.
Chairman Shonts said:
7 Went to Colon with Mr.. Stevens,
the chief engineer, to see what had
been done and what should be done.
We found the first thing of impor-
tance to be the housing and feeding
of 10000 men, 10000 of whom are
now at work. When our government
first took hold of the Canal every ef-
fort was directed toward making the
dirt fly. think this was a mistake.
Time should have been given toward
preparing for the task by making ar
rangements to take care of employees.
1t is true also that the laborers were
not promptly paid and that matters
were becoming congested on the rail-
way and steamers. The people of the
lsthmus are not foaGhanded and with
the large addition to the population
caused by the influx of the canal Ia
borers the supplies for living were ex-
hausted. This caused the prices to
rise and so the laboring classes found
that they could not earn enough to
support themselves. To offset this
commissary stations were established
to feed the laborers. I made an ar
rangement with the president of Pan
ANA that until prices became normal
on the isthmus to continue this sys-
TEN OF supplying the laborers. At
Colon a large refrigerating plant is
now being established from which all
supplies will be issued promptly, so
that shortly all American employees
will be able to take the same fare as
they would at home.'
