HAVANA OBJECT LESSONS.
Prominent Physician Says Yellow
Fever Is Easy Controlled.

Fever Is Easy Controlled.
Apropos of the yellow fever epf-
demic at New Orleons, a warning by
DR.. Juan Guiteras, professor of tropi-
cal diseases in the University of Hav-
ana, two years or more ago, is worth
recalling: 1.-THE measure of success"
he wrote, that has been attained in
Havana is such that we cannot help
but regard with apprehension the evil
dence of unwillingness to accept this
doctrine as the sole basis upon which
the prophylaxis against yellow fever
should rest. We are in possession of
a specific treatment for the proven
ton of this disease. No other cpl
demic disease can be so perfectly con-
trolled, and a grave responsibility
rests upon the leaders of medical
opinion who fail to educate their peo-
pie and to prepare them in the prac-
tice of the new methods" This means,
If DR.. Guiteras' statements are well
founded, and there is every reason
for believing that they are. that New
Orleans has allowed herself to drift
into serious yellow fever epidemic
simply through heedlessness and ig-
norance of the advance of medical sci
ence. 1t seems little short of criminal
carelessness that the people should
have to wait to learn these things by
the sacrifice of several hundred lives
and many thousands of dollars in loss
of business.

President Has Appealed TO The Two
Governments.
PATIENTLY AWAITS CHANGES.
Secrecy is Maintained Regarding the
Communications, Not the slightest
Intlmation of Contents Being Per
mitted to Become Public.

Oyster Bay, Aug. &c. = A crisis in
the peace negotiations is approaching
rapidly. Whether there is. to be peace
between Russia and Japan or con-
tinuance of the war will be determin-
ed very likely within a few days.
Since he made his direct appeal to
Emperor Nicholas, President Roose-
hopeful that such efforts as he had
felt were proper to make to avert a
failure of the Washington conference
might not be futile.
These developments have began to
appear. A report from Ambassador
Meyer at st. Petersburg of his audi
ence with Emperor Nicholas was re-
ceived, and in addition some import
ant advices from Portsmouth reached
the president. They were regarded
as SO urgent that as soon as they
were received in the executive Office
in the village they were carried to
Sycamore Hill by trusted executive
clerk
The utmost secrecy is maintained
regarding the communication, not the
slightest intimation of the nature of
their contents being permitted to be-
come public. 1t is quite certain now
that in addition to making a direct
appeal to the Russian emperor to take
such measures as may bring the pend
ing negotiations to a successful issue
President Roosevelt has communicate
ed with the Japanese government
along similar lines Whether that ap-
peal was made directly to the en-
peror of Japan, as in the case of EN-
peror Nicholas, cannot be ascertain
ed, as no official confirmation is given.
An impression is likely to be Great
ed by some recent reports of the
presidents activity in the peace pro-
ceedings that he is exerting the power
of the influence he yields to force the
ENJOYS into some sort of an agree
ment. No such impression is war
ranted by the efforts he has made.
From the incipiency of the negotia-
lions the president has been actuated
by motives of the sincerest friendship
for both of the belligerents and by a
desire to do all that in him lies to ter
inmate the conflict, a conflict so san
culinary that it has shocked the entire
civilized world.
In the identical note which he di-
rected to the ST. Petersburg and
Toxic governments he expressed the
hope that their representatives might
come together and settle their differ
ences themselves. Since the ENJOYS
assembled in America, in an effort to
carry out the presidents suggestion,
he has followed in spirit and in prin-
ciple the ideas he enunciated in his
note.

New York, Aug. ga loss of more
than a half million dollars was caus-

IL of the extensive plant of the Bush
Terminal Warehouse Company, at the
foot of 44th street, Brooklyn. Started
by lightning during terrific storm,

to confine the flames in the one big

Bush stores extend from 44th street
to 5Sth street.
Filled with thousands of bales of
cotton, consigned to brokers in Man
