TO FIGHT YELLOW FEVER
GOVERNMENT TAKING CHARGE
 OF QUARANTINE STATIONS.
South Carolina Turns Over Stations, and Louisiana Is Following
 After.

Washington-Under the act passed by the last session of congress. the secretary of the treasury. through the public health and marine hospital service, is negotiating for the transfer Of quarantine stations and sites to the federal government by the states of the Atlantic and gulf coasts.
 The South Carolina legislature has already turned over it's stations to the governmental least, it has au- thorized the state board of health to make the transfer.
 The legislature of Louisiana has passed a joint resolution authorizing the governor to make the necessary arrangements with the secretary of the treasury for the sale or lease of the quarantine station at the mouth of the Mississippi river. the most i'm. portant in the service, and which pro tects the Mississippi valley. This Is a state plant.
 Texas has two quarantine stations, at Galveston and Port Arthur, and it Is believed these will be relinQushed to the government soon.
 The government now owns all of the gulf stations except those of Texas, Louisiana and in Mobile bay. The other stations are New Orleans Ship Island and Pascagoula. the two latter in Mississippi; Pensacola Apa- lachieola, Carrabelle, Tampa Bay. Boca Granie and Key West.
 The secretary of the treasury is au- thorized to pay reasonable compen. sation for the sites and plants owned by the states, if, in his opinion, their purchase Is necessary to the United States for quarantine purposes, and the quarantine stations established by authority of this law are to be used to prevent the introduction of all quarantine diseases.
 Jurisdiction must be ceded by the state, however, before any compensa- ton is paid. A half-million dollars was appropriated for the purchase oi the stations.

TRUCE DECLARED
AND GUATEMALA AND SALVADOR
 WILL PATCH UP A PEACE.
With the Assistance Of Uncle Sam They Will Shake Hands Across
 the Bloody Chasm.

w a h ingto n.-The armistice be. tween the warning Central American republics went into effect at 6 o'clock July Is.
 Shortly before the armistice was agreed to, over 10000 Guatemalan sol diers made a desperate attack on the Salvadorean positions by way of Meta pan. The Guatemalan artillery sta toned on the high plains fronting the Salvadorean position, cannonaded the latter unceasingly, though the bad of the artillerymen resulted In the Sal vadoreans forces escaping without many casualties.
 At about 5 D. m in the midst of torrential rain, the Guatemalan's fire increased all along the line and the Guatemalan infantry attacked the Sal yadoreans i'll close columns, endeav- bring to dislodge them from the posi- tions held by Gen. Lerneero and Col Hernandez Artega. The battle lasted ten hours and eventually resulted in triumph for the Salvadorean arms.
 The forces of Salvador were divided into three bodies and stationed along the frontier The center, consisting of 2,000 men, is under command of Generals Horacio Villa Vicencio and Patenciano Escalon, who occupy posi-. tions beyond Custa Bel Mangle, Conte- peque and Piedras Chalchuapa The left army of the Salvadorean forces is in the department of Ahuachapan and beyond Rio Paz under command of Gen. Freeristales He has 21,000 men who occupy positions at Platanar, Les Escobas and Hacienda Margarita in Guatemalan territory. The Salvado- rans right army, composed of 11,000 men under command of General Preza and Durate, Is on the defensive at Matapan. These two wings have been constantly, energetically, but unsuc- cessfully attacked by the Guatemalan forces, who thought them weak, but found out that they were strong
 The body of the Salvadorean Gener- al Regalado, who was killed July II, in a battle fought at at Jicaro, Guate- mala City. in a complete state of de. SoiH poSltIoH, iudhlHS llS Itpdti ldtlOu i impossible.
 The Guatemalan minister, Mir. Mu- nez. is much annoyed by reports from Salvadorean points that Guatemala continued fighting after it had agreed to cease hostilities.
 Such stories are absolutely without foundation" he said. There was no l agreement to cease fighting until the armistice went into effect, and the en- emies of my government are endeavor ing to put it in false light"
 The state department has not been advised that fighting has actually ceased, but the American minister te l Salvador. Mir. Merry, and the American l charge at Guatemala City, both sent 1 dispatches to the department, which announce the agreement of both Sal 1 vador and Guatemala to stop fighting on the date heretofore named.
 All efforts so far have been devoted l to the preliminary arrangements for l the conference, and as the United l States is in no sense a party to the negotiations, the state department has 1 few details in regard to the griev- ances of the warning republics.
