The Mosquito

The world is waging war on the
mosquito. From Hackensack to the
Roman Campagna; from Coney Is
land to Suez; in Cuba, Ecuador,
Egypt, Italy, India, in a hundred
American cities, crusade for the ex-
termination of the insect pest is under
way. There IS fighting chance for
at least a partial subjugatoin of the
foe which scourged Ceylon fourteen
centuries ago routed the Romans
from the Maremna and has until now
baffled for its suppression. As recent
ly as ten years ago such feat of
sanitary science would have been ina
possible That it now holds out some
hope OF ultimate success is due to the
more intelligent study of the mosqui-
to in its relation to disease following
the Investigations of DR.. Ross of the
British army and the Italian Grassi.
How thoroughly their theories and
the discoveries of the yellow fever
commission in Cuba have been accep-
ted is indicated by the reliance placed
on the suppression of the mosquito
as an essential factor in Kidding Pan
anna of malaria and New Orleans o
yellow fever.-New York World.

Cases at Mississippi City

I special from Gulfport tells of the
discovery of yellow fever at Missis-
sippi city on the gulf and states that
the disease has been there since July
20. 1t originated in the Harvey board
ing house there among the family of
Major Gee. There have been eleven
cases in all and four persons are now
under treatment. All of the other
coast towns have quarantined against
Mississippi City but there is such a
resentment over the fact that the ex-
istence of the fever there was not
discovred until today.
The campaign against the yellow
fever which has now resolved itself
into dry routine, today brought to
light nothing in the way of new de-
velopments.
The fact that the deaths have not
risen is considered an important sign,
and this with the disappearance OF
foci and the gradual perfection OF
| the system under which the federal
forces IRE battling to prevent rapid
multiplication of infected squares was
considered by Dr. White today to BIZ
sufficient to warrant him in saying
that the situation was bright and th'
outlook hopeful. In 1873 at this time
deaths were occurring at the rate o
from 20 to 40 day with avery mucf
small population.
Fatal cases this year have rur
from four to six daily and consider
able appreciation in the death list wa
to be expected yesterday and today
and prhaps tomorrow from the higl
figures of los cases on Saturday a
also from the high figures of days i'm

thought OF leading band Of adven-
turers to capture the peninsula.
Who can say that the acquisition OF
this land OF possibilities, another Cali

not have been a great gain to the
United States; would Lower California
have been the first territory to be ac-
quired by a great power In such a
manner? But, as expressed in the news
papers Of the time, Uncle Sam was not
looking for new country in that way

when the plot leaked out, promptly
took steps to prevent any international
complications. Still, II this filibuster-

him, had marched at the head of his

"There is no doubt that for months
the filibusters, with headquarters at
San Diego. have been preparing for an
uprising that would result in blood

they were Of small caliber % and en-

was not abandoned on that account
however, the search served to implicate
many well known Mexlcans who are
now In the city. Ex-Governor Manuel

Two Schemes Afoot.
James got wind of the San Diego
scheme while he was recruiting for
his own army OF invasion. He was
planning to take advantage Of brew
ing revolution in Lower California. to
join with the natives to throw off the
Mexican yoke. For this purpose he
quietly closed up his City Front Gazette
in San Francisco and travelled through
northern towns enlisting such spirits
as were willing to follow him to warm
er places than the peninsula. Then
he went to San Diego to be near the
scene Of contemplated action. Here
he was approached by Augustus Mer-
rill, who was to have been in charge
Of the military Of the new republic.
Merrill sought James advice as an ex-
pert in such matters and each even
tually confided something OF his plans
to the other

James finally agreed to see Governor
General-to-be Walter G. Smith in his

riously in his chair with his feet ou!

James went to Los Angeles. started the

people to thinking that something more
was doing than appeared on the sur
face. Rumors were so rife that there
was held congress OF generals" In
San Diego and It was decided to send
Colonel Merrill to see James, to treat
further with him on the joining OF is
