CRUSADE AGAINST FEVER
Disease Not Epidemic, and
Successful Results Are
Expected.

NEW YORK, Feb 22.-Among the pas
sengers who arrived today on the
steamer Alliance from Colon were Canal
Commissioners W. Barclay Parson and
Prof. w. II. Burr, also Judge G. T. Lit
tie, who will defend the lottery COM
pany's right to sell lottery tickets in the
canal zone. The case is on appeal TO
the Supreme Court OF the United States.
Prof Burr gave out the following state
naent:
THE committee on engineering of the
Isthn2ian Canal Commission report that
they found the work generally in much
better and more advanced condition than
they anticipated.
In Culebra Cut.
In the great Culebra cut, the detail
Of construction that will take the most
time and most money, the chief engi-
neer has installed and has at work three
large American steam shoyels, and is
erecting five more. -Four thousand lab
orers are now at work On different por-
tions Of the work, and 1000 more have
already been engaged IN the West In
dies and in Central America. substan-
tial progress is, therefore, being made
While on the isthmus the committee
was IN daily conference with the chief
engineer with q view to formulate GER
tain plans. contracts for which can ne let
at an early date. These plans and the ac-
| conpanying data will be submitted to
the commission at Washington.
"At Panama and Colon the laying OF
sewers and water pipes is progressing
steadily, so that IN The near future both
those cities viii be furnished for the
LTst uI1e with q system Of sewers and
| water supply. with an abundant amount
OF water.
Fever Was Expected.
ssThe presence OF yellow fever is to
| be regretted. but was to be expected
| as this disease is always present in
| tropical countries In America. unless
! long continued sanitary precautions
have been taken. Prior to the sanftar1
work Of the commission nc precautions
or scientific measures have been taker
on the tsthmus TO guard against this

Russia Is Considering
Probable Terms of Peace

LONDON, Feb 22-The intimations of
approaching peace in the far East an
nounced some time ago, despite de-
mails, receive confirmation from Il St.
Petersburg dispatch, to which the pa
pers here give great prominence. The
information, which is ascrfbed to "a
source enjoying high patronage" is as
follows:
Not only has the question of peace
been formally discussed by the Gar but
the conditions on which Russia is pre-
pared to make peace have been prac-
ticaily agreed upon. These are:
First-That Korea be placed under
japanese suZerainty.
Second-That Port Arthur and the
Liaotung Peninsula be ceded to Japan.
Third-That Vladivostok be declared
neutral port, on the open door system.
Fourth-That the Chinese Eastern
Railway be placed under neutral in
ternatioaal administration.
Fifth-That Manchuria far north
as TIarbir. be restored an integral
part of the Chinese Empire.
Question of Indemnity.
Difficulty lies in settling the question
| of indemnity upon which it is known
Japan will insist, but it is thought that
obstacle is not tnsuperable.
| Although it is quite possible that Rus
| sia will risk another battle before COM
| ing to a definite decision, the most trust
! worthy opinion here is that, in view OF
! the Russian internal situation and the
enormous difficulty in continuing lne
war peace on the terms outlined viii be
concluded if the question of ino oCmnity
i can be arranged, within a comparatively
short time.
The Standard prints an interview with
Viscount Hayashi, the japanese Miais-
= % wi
+ immediate peace He doubted that 1t
/ was possible for Russia. to make pro-
south of Muixden and the Baltic fleet had
not attempted TO win the mastery of the
seas.
Collapse of War Party.
The only reason that coulo be assigned
| for the possible collapse OF the war
party In Russia was the internal condf-
tion of the country, but this was posi-
/ bly, painted blaeker than was actually
! the case. The Japanese anyhow would
not rely too much upon factors in the
situation which continue the campaign
on the assumption that the Russians
| meant TO fight until they actually an
! nounced their intentions of suing for
peace.
/, 1t is stated from other sources that
| The Emperor of Austria for weeks past
| has privately and urgently counseled the
| Car to negotiate for peace in order to
gave Russia from inevitable crushing
humiliation.
Basis of Settlement.
Comment in London follows the line
| that the alleged terms will furnish the
basis for a real settlement. although
/ they are not likely entirely to satisfy
the japanese. who, 1T is believed. will
require Ia addition to an indemnity the
temporary occupation of Vladivostok as
security for its paymtnt. the restora-
| tion of the Island of Saghaiien, and tle
surrender of the Russian warships now
interned at neutral ports. Moreover, II
