FIGHTING THE MOSQUITO.
Strenuous War Being Conducted on
the ISthmuS

The dry season has been unusually pro-
longed and the general rains have been
comparatively late in the Panama canal
zone this year. producing conditions I'M
usually favorable to the breeding of mos
auitoes The department of health of the
isthmian canal commission reports to the
commission here that it has been compelled
to adopt measures never before necessary.
Both the rivers and cut proper are con-
slant source of trouble. Pools of water
form, the temperature of which under an
unclouded sky causes vegetation to spring
I'D after the second day of thorough
cleaning. Oiling the waters has been tried.
but in some places more stringent measures
have been taken to remove the breeding
pools
The report says that much work has been
done in constructing pools and dlverting
all the water into the main ditch, where 1t
forms a swft-runnins stream most I'M
favorable to mosquito breeding. Drip bar
rels of oil were placed where the current
slowed down.
The malarial reports of the district physi-
clans are tabulated and compared. and
where a decided increase of malaria is
shown the inspector of that district is tele-
phoned to look-for the point OF injection
There all the available laborers of the dis
trict are at once concentrated to eliminate
the mosquito breeding place. The report
saws the general health conditions were
better in May than during the previous
months of American occupancy.

ITALY OBJECTS TO FERRARA.
Cuban Delegate to The Hague Identi:
fed as Former Revolutionist.

The authorities here have known for some
time through Gov. Magoon that an eff
fort has been made by the Italian govern
ment to prevent the appearance at The
Hague conference of Orestes Ferrara. who,
with Gonzales de Quesada, the Cuban min
list ,r to Washington was named as repre-
sentative of Cuba. Ferrara has played a
prominent part in Cuban politics and at
tanned to the rank of general in the lib
eral army. He is a man of accomplish
ments and a professor of law in Havana
University.
1t appears that soon after he arrived at
The Hague the Italian government. through
its secret police. quickly Identified Ferrara
with young Italian who in former years
had been a member of the revolutionary
party in Naples. He was tried for revolt
and acquitted in the first place. but return
ing to Italy after an absence of several
years in Cuba he was again ,ried and SEN
fenced for publishing articles attacking the
government. 1t is not clear that the ItaI-
ian government had made any Formal
charges or demands in the case of Ferrara
but that he had received an intimati ton to
the effect that he was unwelcone is mani
tested by the fact that last week he cabed
his resignation to Gov MagOon, who felt
obliged to accept it,

NAVY YARD BIDS TOO HIGH.
Likely That Private Firms Will Build
Big Battleships.

1t is stated at the Navy Department to-
day that it is not at all likely that either
of the two 20.OCO-ton battleships of the
Dreadnaught type, bids for which were
opened last week. will be built at either
the New York or Mare Island navy yard.
both of which submitted plans. The ac-
tual figures of the bids submitted by the
navy yards have not been bade public. but
they were greatly in excess Of those from
the private shipbuiding firms. Secretary
Metcalf has received dispatch from Rep
resentative Calder of Brooklyn and others
in that city interested in having the con-
struction of one of the vessels go to the
New York yard. but he points out that this
would involve an expenditure of from
$500, 900 to S10O.00O more than il the lowest
responsible private bids were accepted. The
increase might be even greater yet. the
Secretary says-a certainty which can be
determined only after final decision as
to the exact plans to be adopted has been
reached.
