The popular distrust Of Great Britain

narrow escape from q war, in which,
altho she would have been victorious

Events OF the last four months have
silenced the opponents OF 9 naval In

to equal Great Britain's present navy,

the witness stand before Justice
Amend and jury in the supreme
court in the International Power Com
pany pool suit, in which Letter ap-
peared as co-defendant, he crossed
over yesterday to another wing of the
supreme court and gave testimony as
defendant in another suit. The action
in which Letter testified was brought

ONE SYSTEM OF QUARANTINE.
Important SIP Toward Prevention OF
Conta aious Diseases.

Important S"-p Toward Prevention Of
Contagious Diseases.
Washington, Oct. 14.-An important
step toward the prevention of conta-
gious diseases was taken yesterday
when the members Of the information
al sanitary convention accepted the
forty-nine articles of the Paris con.
vention Of December 3, 1903, with only
a few notifications required by the
conditions in tropical countries.
The articles. which are now engross-
ed in Spanish and English, will be
signed by the delegates today, and
when ratified by the different South
and North American governments
there will be on practically all Of the
American continent one system Of
quarantine and preventive measures.
This Is calculated to put an end to
the evil of good work in one state
being undone by the negligent methods
in a neighboring state. 1t was decided
that the United States Pharmacopeia
should be translated into Spanish and
that a first edition of 5000 copies
should be, published.
Mr.. L. O. Howard, the entomolo-
gist of the department of agriculture,

yellow fever mosquito, read paper
on the spread of that insect in the
United States and in some part of
Mexico. Since it has been generally
agreed upon that yellow fever can
only be spread by mosquitoes, it is
of the greatest Importance, he said,
to know where those mosquitoes are
found. In regard to the distance
they are able to fly out on the sea
"a question of great Importance when
determining how far ships under
quarantine shall stay away from
shore) he stated that it has been
found possible for mosquitoes to move
out as far as 500 feet. Special stress
was laid upon the fact that when ex-
terminating the breeding places OF
the yellow fever mosquitoes often not
enough attention is paid to the most
dangerous ones. DR.. Howard said
that the yellow fever mosquito does
not breed in large patches of open
water, and that a broken bottle
which contains little water is far
more dangerous, and he asserted that
the font which contains the holy water
in churches is in many instances a
breeding place and a grave cause Of
danger.
The convention will meet tomorrow
morning for its last session.

royalty. What they saw was

New York, Oct. 14.-Five lives are
known to have been lost and more
than thirty persons injured, some Of:
them seriously, on the Cunard lire
steamer Campania, last Wednesday,.
when gigantic wave rolled over the
steamer and swept across the deck,
thick with steerage passengers Sc
sudden was the coming Of the disaster
and so great the confusion which att
tended and followed It, that even the
officers of the steamer were unable to-
day, upon the vessels arrival here, to
estimate the full extent Of the tragedy

Of the passengers lost. and others were
two Irish girls, a Danish boy and man
whose nationality has not been ascer-
tained. When the Campania reached
quarantine today, ten Of the injured
passengers were still in the ships hos
pital, some Of them seriously hurt.
The Campanis was ploughing along
under full headway last Wednesday,
afternoon. A heavy quartering sea
was running, but the weather condi-
tfons were far from unpleasant. The
steerage deck was covered with mer-
rymakers and there was nothing to
indicate the approaching disaster,
when suddenly the big steamer lurch-
ed to port and scooped up an enor-
nous sea. The wave boarded the
steamer about midships, on the port
side, and swept clear across the steer
age deck, completely filling the space
between that deck and the deck above,
and carrying everything with it. The
steamers side was buried SO deep that

unfortunates on the storage deck
found themselves utterly helpless.
Meetings. heavy ratings and other
distractions arranged near the rail-
ings to prevent pass ngers from being
washed overheard, served their pur-
! pose only in part. So great was the
volume and force of the waters that
the door in the rail was smashed and
through this opening. Ave helpless
ones were swept to death, while others
dashed against the obstructions escap-
ed death, but many of them received
severe injuries One young woman
had both legs broken at the thigh and
several persons suffered broken arms
and ribs, while more than a score were
bruised and battered The lives OF sey-g
era1 children were saved by the stew
ardess, Miss Cotes, and the deck stew
ard. The little ones were playing
about the deck when they were caught
in the swirl of water and carried art
with the others. On the return OF
the rush wave, the children were be-
ing carried directly toward the open
door, through which the five who lost
their lives had been carried when
Miss Cotes and a steward rushed to
their rescue, and dragged them back
to safety.

Des Moines, Oct. 14.-The first news
Of how Alice Roosevelt danced in ma

came in a letter written by Lafe

her imitation of the Moro dances was
declared remarkable.
The Taft party was entertained by
military display, bull fight, and a
ball. At the bull fight Miss Roosevelt
sat alongside Secretary Taft and the
