complete failure of the negotiations
that have been in progress at Caracas
looking to a settlement of issues be

special commissioner, for his report
upon that controversy as the basis
for immediate action on the part of the
department. It is probable that the
report will be submitted to congress
and some line of action suggested.

Washington, July 5.-The war de-
partment was advised of the virulent
outbreak of cholera in Manila. For
the week ending July there were lie
cases and 80 deaths
For the "a hours ending at a. m.
July 5, there were II cases and five
deaths in the provinces. During the
same period in Manila, there were 20
cases and % deaths.
Latest reports from Manila say the
situation has improved.
Two Americans, Robert Imombertz
and J. Hart, are dead, but to date only
five Americans have been seized with
the disorder. Thus far cholera has
not appeared in the American section
of the city. The Americans who have
been stricken live in the native sec
lions of Manila.
The bureau Of health refused to
permit the sale of food stuffs that
may have been liable to infection.
Efforts of physicians engaged in com
batting the disease show results in
the decreasing number of new cases
reported.
While the disease started in
stronger than the great epidemic of
1902, the authorities believe they
have the situation under control.
