New Orleans, Aug. 15.-With nearly
one-half Of August gone and with total
deaths since July Is Of only 1874, an
average Of five a 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 we'll 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

YAQUIS ASK FOR PEACE.
Long and Bloody Warfare Believed to
Be at an End,

Long and Bloody Warfare Believed to
Be at an End.
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.
1t is understood that the peace con-
ference, which has been called to
meet at Ures, will result in a 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 cult1 alton they we're
told that a 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.
1t 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

ADMITS MISTAKE WAS MADE.
Chairman Shonts Discusses Work on
Si1e 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:
Il 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-
lance 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 eff
fort was directed toward making the
dirt fly. l think this was a mistake.
Time should have been given toward
preparing for the task by making ar
engagements to take care of employees.
1t is true also that the laborers were
not promptly paid and that matters
We're becoming cOngested on the rail-
way and steamers. The people of the
the large addition to the population
caused by the influx of the canal la
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. l 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"

]. Hill Of the Great Northern road has
returned from the East and it is ex-
pected that his return will have some
bearing within a day or two upon the
situation in regard to the teleg-

President H. B. Perham of the Or

be ready to treat with the strikers,
though having by wire previously re.
fused to do SO. According to Presi-
dent Perham no advances have been
made or will be made by the oper-
ators. ..s.
Our appeal to President Hill and
President Elliott has thus far received
no reply" said President Perham,
and we can only wait until those Off
Gals see fit to answer us or indicate
that they do not intend to pay any at
tention to us. We carried the case UP
to the presidents Of the two roads
and they have thus far ignored us"
h: The strike situation remains un-
changed, the railroads refusing to dis
3cuss the matter and the strikers as
sorting that they are losing no ground.
Mr.. Perham received a report from
Fargo that but four freights had
passed that point Saturday and the
same number Friday, whereas the nor
NAL traffic is about thirty or thirty.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 15.-The
Russo-Japanese peace conference has
agreed on article l., relating to Korea,
and has begun the discussion Of article
2. The session began at $50 a. m.
and recess was taken at l.: 80 for
luncheon, the conference being re-
sumed at 3 in the afternoon.
= Article 1, as agreed to by the pleni-
potentiaries, was not in the language
submitted by the Japanese. 1t had
been modified to nearer meet the
wishes of the Russian plenipoten-
tiaries, but to what extent cannot be
definitely stated. NJ. Witte had insist
ed that Japan's purpose was to make
dependency of Korea and he wanted
the language of the article to conform
to Japan's real intentions. M. Witte
was prepared from the beginning to
accept the article, his only objection
being as to the form. He wanted the
language at least to show that Japan
intended to establish a protectorate
over Korea.
Continued Predictions Of Rupture.
Among the delegates of the re-
spective sides who remained behind at
the hotel during the session it was
insisted that each side was sincerely
anxious to conclude treaty of peace
and it is evident If there is to be a
rupture, as the best informed believe
there will be, each side will maneuver
to place the responsibility on the
other. The Japanese seem disposed
to throw out the intimation that M.
Witte is trying to wear out his adver-
saries and compel them to break off
the negotiations. This intimation is
Indignantly repudiated by the Rus
SLAMS, who contend, as does their prin-
cipal. that Russia is ready and will.
