Correspondence of the Alexandra Gazette
Washington, d. c., June Is.
One death, three recoyeries, and three
new cases is the yellow fever record from
the isthmus OF Panama, cabled to the
War Department today by Governor
MagoOn. Yellow fever may fairly be
said to be epidemic on the isthmus al
though it is either not of virulent form
or the medical treatment is very success
ful. Since the first day of June there
have been "a cases of the disease, includ-
ing those named in today's report. There
have been eleven deaths.
4 successor Tor John F. Wallace, who
mas resigned as chief engineer of the
Panama canal project, is now occupying
the minds of those interested in the work
of the commission. 1t is believed that
railroad engineer of foremost ability will
be selected to take Mr.. Wallaces place.
There is an understanding in high quar-
tiers that owing to the absolute necessity
of first class ability, at the head OF the
canal engineering department, there may
be an alteration in the policy of the COM
mission relative to the engineers authori-
.ty. In this case Mr.. Hood, of the South

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE %, 1905.

CAPTAIN MAHAN, an American naval
expert, has written the lesson OF the re-
cent battle of the sea Of Japan. After
allowing for the demonstrated SUPERIOR
ty Of the japanese in training and ex-
perience he concludes that the supe-
riority Of the battleship and Of the gun,
for the main purposes of naval warfare,
has not been shaken. He says the in
efficiency of the torpedo boat destroyers
was shown when the already injured
Russian baltleships were able to repel
the combined attack of the whole Jap
anese hotilla. Capt. Mahan must possess
information concerning the battle not
published in the newspapers, for from
these reports it was shown that the Jap
anese torpedo boats inflicted most Of the
injury sustained ty the Russian battle
ships and this belief is so general as to
make most laymen differ with the captain
in his conclusions.

No Trace of Miss Rogers.

A dispatch from Saranac Lake, n.
Y, last night states:
"There have been no developments
today in the search for Mary Rogers, the
wealthy young Virginia woman who
disappeared from this place last Satur-
day.
"Mr. Raleigh G. Smith, of Baltimore,
a brother of Mr.. Willoughby n. Smith,
and Mr.. William G. T. Rogers, of Lees
burg. a brother of Miss Rogers, arrived
this evening, and are very indignant at
the means used by the local authorities
TO ascertain the identity Of the missing
girl by means of John Doe proceedings.
Ex.Gov. John Walter Smith, Of Mary
land, and his wife drove over from Loon
Lake, about 20 miles, to take dinner
with Mr.. Willoughby n. Smith and TO
express their sympathy for the unfortu-
nate occurrence.
A dispatch from Leesburg, says:
"The latest information received here
bv relatives of Miss Mary Rogers is that
contained in letter from her nurse,
Miss Janney, giving the circumstances
of the occurrence, which agree substan-
tally with the press dispatches. Init
mate friends OF Miss Rogers have aban-
doned all hope of her being alive, though
her family have offered liberal rewards
for information as to her whereabouts.
Mr.. Alexander Rogers, her father, is in
very weak condition, and all informa-
ton is withheld from him"
Saranac Lake. n. Y, June 2S.-Al-
thong the search for Miss Mary Rogers,
of Leesburg, Va, who mysteriOusly dis
appeared on Sunday last from a sanitari-
um here, has been continued, no trace Of
her has been found The only new de-
veopments in the case is the abandon
ment by the authorities OF all suspicion
of crirniDality in connection with the
disappearance of the young Woman.
The admission is made even by those
who Instituted the John Doe proceedings
against Willoughby n. Smith, promi-
nent lawyer, of Baltimore, who accom-
panied Miss Rogers and a nurse, that
the unfortunate young woman wandered
away while temporarily deranged, as
result of her illness. 1t is now believed
that she is either lost in the woods or
has been drowned in the Saranac lake
or Saranac river.

the conflict was no longer general po-
