Preliminary Negotiations Between Uni-
 ted Sfatea md EcumdOr.


 Washington, June 14-Preliminary negotiations have been concluded be- tween the United States and Ecudaor for quarantine regulations which will lessen the possibility of interchange of yellow fever infection between Panama and Guayaquil, the chief port of Ecuador.
 Governor Magoon of Panama will probably go to Quito with Colonel Cor gas. the chief sanitary officer on the isthmus and frame a treaty satisfactory to the United States and Ecuador.
 The Pan-Americsu conference at Rio Janeiro in July will have international quarantine as one of its chief subjects for discussion and 1t is likely that an agreement will be affected between all the American republics, for uniform quarantine regulations and for the proper sanitation of all ports. But pending this general quarantine agree ment a temporary treaty with Ecuador is stated to be necessary as the west coast of South America Is a constant menace to canal construction on the Isthmus because of the prevalence of yellow fever
