I, Aug. 15—The United States transport Logan, with Secre- tary of War Taft, Miss Roosevelt and party on board, arrived here from Manila during the evening. Tugs with the local governor and a large recep- ILoILO. (tion committee, consisting of officers of the army and navy.and leading citizens, and with band playing, met the Logan down the bay. The recep- tion committee went on board the transport and formally welcomed the party, the members of which will re- main on the vessel until morning. The viceroys of the Chinese prov- inces of Kwanturg and Kwangal have cabled Manila inquiring as to when the secretary and his party will visit the capitals of their respective prov- inces and saying that preparations for their suitable reception are under way.

BACK IN REGULAR SERVICE. Steamers Used as Auxiliary Cruisers by Jap Government. San Francisco, Aug. 15.—The Toyo Kisen Kaisha steamship line is about to resume business between here and the Orient. It has been officially an- nounced that the steamship Amerlca would leave Yokohama for this port on or about Sept. 15 and from that time the regular service of this line will be resumed. The two other steamships belonging to this company, the Nippon and the Hongkong, will go into service as soon as they can be put in condition. They have been out of commission for more than a year. Shortly after the war between Russia and Japan broke out these three ves- sels were changed into auxiliary cruis- ers and have since been in charge of the government. Now they are once more turned hack to the steamship company, which will put them, back into the passenger service, Prnhlblt Anti-American Meeting.

SUPPRESSION OF CASES CONTINUES T FAILURE TO REPORT TO PROPER OFFICIALS AIDS IN EXTEND- ING THE EPIDEMIC. New Orleans, Aug. 15—With nearly one-half of August gone and with total deaths since July 13 of only 154, an average of five a day, the Marine hos- pital service authorities during the day began the second week of their fight against the yellow fever here. The disease is slowly spreading in New Orleans despite the magnificent work of the federal authorities, but the increase in new cases outside of the Crescent City is almost imper- ceptible. In spite of all the appeals that have been made by the press and the fed-‘ | eral authorities there is still suppres- slon of cases. One instance is that of a daughter of a well known lawyer. She is said to have had a typical case and to have been treated only by a nearby druggist. When discovered by a doctor her condition was hopeless and she has since died. The conse- quence is that steps are to be taken to compel druggists to make prompt report of all cases of illness that come under their observation. Dr. Leach, wh'o came here from St. Paul to try his arsenization theory, is making arrangements to have a test independent of the doctors. The New Orleans Medical society has declared the use of arsenic as unsound in the- ory and unproven in practice, but there is-a popular feeling here that Dr. Leach ought to have an opportu- nity to make his experiments. In this connection all sorts of theories are coming bere concerning the treatment of yellow fever and the city has been flooded with prescriptions that are guaranteed to be sure cures. Illinois Enforcing Quarantine. Springfield, Ill., Aug. 15.—Secretary Egan of the state board of health left during the afternoon for Cairo, where he will personally superintend the quarantine against yellow fever. He will remain at Cairo for ten days at least, as he considers September the most dangerous month of all for the spread of infection to the North. ONE PROBABLY FATALLY. Two Cousins of the President Injured in Runaway. Sayville, L. I, Aug. 15.—Gladys and Eugenie Roosevelt, cousins of Presi- dent Roosevelt, were injured in a run- away here, «Gladys probably fatally. The girls are daughters of John E. Roosevelt, an uncle of the president, Gladys being sixteen years old and Eugenie eighteen. Both are accustomed to handle spirited horses, but during the day their horse, drawing a high cart, ran away and struck the vehicle against a tree. Gladys, who drove the horse, was thrown against the tree head first and was picked up unconscious. Phy- sicians who worked over her for an hour were unable to revive her and believe her skull was fractured. HIS METHOD CRITICISED. Shea Secures Endorsement of the Chi- cago Strike, Philadelphia, Aug. 15.—In a manner which was severely criticised by many delegates President Shea of the In- ternational Brotherhood of Tec:asters during the day secured the conven- tion’s endorsement of the Chicago strike. President Shea refused to have the roll called on the motion, insisting that a vive voce vote was sufficient. Aithough there were many nays President Shea declared the mo-; tion carried. CANADA WILL FORTIFY. Powerful Fortifications to Guard En- trance to Great Lakes. iy Ottawa, Ont., Aug. 15.—The" Cana- ‘dian militia council has decided to| build a modern fort near Kingston to protect the passageway to the Great Lalkes.

Toronto, Ont., Aug. 15.—The Inter- national Typographical union opened its annual convention here during the day. The premier of Ontario, the mayor of Toronto and other officials made addresses of weleome. Presi- dent Lynch of the union responded. A universal eight-hour day will be dis- cussed in the convention. ADMITS MISTAKE ‘WAS MADE. Chairman Shonts Discusses Work on the Panama Canal. New York, Aug. 15—The care of 20,000 employes who will be employed 'upcn the Panama canal is declared by Chairman Shonis of the Panama canal commission, who arrived on the steamer Mexico from Colon, to be of first importance and to have prece- dence over the actual work of digging. Chairman Shonts said: “I went to Colon with Mr. Stevens, the chief engineer, to see what had been done and what should be done. We found the first thing of impor- tance to be the housing and feeding of 20,000 men, 10,000 of whom are now at work. When gur government first took hold of the Ranal every ef- fort was directed toward making the dirt fly. I think this was a mistake. Time should have been given toward preparing for the task by making ar- rangements to take care of employes. It is true also that the laborers were not promptly peid and that matters were becoming congested on the rail- way and steamers. The people of the isthmus. are not faehanded and with the large addition to the population caused by the influx of the canal la- borers the supplies for living were ex- hausted, This caused the prices to rise and so the laboring classes found that they could not earn enough to support themselves. To offset this commissary stations were established to feed the laborers. I made an ar- rangement with the president of Pan- ama that until prices became normal on the isthmus to continue this sys- tem of supplying the laborers. . At Colon a large refrigerating plant is now being established from which all supplies will be issued promptly, so that shortly all American employes will be able to take the same fare as they would at home.” FIFTY KILLED OR INJURED LANDSLIDE ENTIRELY DESTROYS INDIAN VILLAGE IN BRIT- I8H COLUMBIA. \Vancouver, B. C., Aug. 15—A tre- mendous landslide has occurred-about half a mile west of Spencers Bridge, near Ashcroft, B. C., sweeping the waters of the Thompson river over the entire Indian village, leaving noth- ing but wreck in its path. The land- slide caused a wave from ten to fif- teen feet high, carrying the ferry and all small boats before it. The num- ber of dead and injured as a result of the landslide is nearly fifty. There were sixty Indians in the village when the landslide occurred and not more than a dozen escaped injury or death. FILED FOR FUTURE USE. Insurance Investigators Many Complaints. New York, Aug. 15.—Thousands of letters from persons who are dissatis- fied with the treatment they have re- ceived from organizations in which they or their relatives are insured are being sent to the legislative commit- tee appointed to investigate the New York insurance companies. These epistles are being sent to the office of James McKeen, counsel for the committee, and each complaint will be tabulated, with the name of the company criticised, for use in the coming investigation. Chairman Armstrong of the com- mittee and Mr.” McKeen are engaged in going over the Frick and Hen- dricks reports on the Equitable Life Assurance society to determine on the method by which they may supple- ment the information contained in those documents. BIG RUSH 'FOR LAND. Quarter of a Million Acres braska to Be Opened. North Platte, Neb., Aug. 15.—A big crowd is lined up before the land ofiice here for the opening of nearly 250,000 acres of land which has been fenced in by cattlemen. The fences have been torn down by order of the government and the land is to be divided into homesteads of a section each. It is reported that the cattle- men have been cutting much of the wild hay and that they are again try- ing to discourage homeseekers from entering upon these lands. North Platte is filled with strangers. Hun- dreds had to sleep outdoors during the night and every available cenveyance for getting to the land is being used. gt Receiving in Ne- INJURIES MAY PROVE FATAL. Walter S, Pullman Thrown From Buggy at San Mateo, Cal. San Mateo, Cal, Aug. 15.—Walter & Pullman, son of the late George M. Puliman, was thrown from a buggy while driving and sustained injuries from which he may die. There is a severe injury to the jaw and another on the upper portion of the head, but his physician has not yet been able to determine whether he is suffering frem concussion of the brain or has had his skull fractured. IN A MODIFIED FORM ARTICLE 1 OF THE RUSSO-JAPA- NESE TREATY OF PEACE Fl- NALLY DISPOSED OF. WITTE OBJECTS TO LANGUAGE USED INSISTS THAT IT CONFORM WITH JAP PLANS TO MAKE A DE- PENDENCY OF KOREA. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 15.—The Russo-Japanese peace conference has agreed on article 1, relating to Korea, end has begun the discussion of article 2. The session began at 9:30 a. m. and a recess was taken at 1:30 for luncheon, the conference being re- sumed at 3 in the afternoon. Article 1, as agreed to by the pleni- potentiaries, was not in the language submitted by the Japanese. It had been modified to nearer meet the wishes of the Russian plenipoten- tiaries, but to what extent cannot be definitely stated. M. Witte had insist- ed that Japain’s purpose was to make a dependency of Korea and he wanted the language of the article to conform to Japan’s real ‘intentions. M. Witte was prepared from the beginning to accept the article, his only objection being as to the form. He wanted the language at least to show that Japan intended to establish a protectorate over Korea. Continued_Predictions of Rupture. Among the delegates of the re- spective sides who remained behind at the hotel during the session it was insisted that each side was sincerely anxious to conclude a treaty of peace and it is evident if there is to he a rupture, as the best informed believe there will be, each side will maneuver to place the responsibility on the other. The Japanese seem disposed to throw out the intimation that M. Witte is trying to wear out his adver- saries and compel thom to- broilk off | the negotiations. This intimation is indignantly repudiated by the Rus- sians, who contend, as does their prin- cipal, that Russia is ready and will- ing to have the fullest publicity given to the proceedings in order that the world may judge between them. It will be several days at the pres- ent rate of progress before either of the crucial points of difference is reached. The exact order of the con- ditions is not yet known, but it is practically certain that the demand for the reimbursement of the expenses of the war precedes that for the ces- sion of Sakhalin. JEWS WILL LOAN TO RUSSIA. Demand in Return Promise of Better Treatment for Hebrews. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 15.—A dele- gation consisting of Jacob H. Schiff, Oscar S. Strauss, Adolph Kraus of Chicago, Adolph Lewissohn and Isaac Seligman arrived here during the aft- ernoon and by previous arrangement will hold a conference with M. Witte on the condition of the Jews in Rus- sia. M. Witte is known to sympa- thize with the aspirations of the He- brews for improved conditions and if satisfactory assurances are given it can be stated that Russia, should she so desire, can place a foreign loan in this country through Jewish banking houses. RUSSIAN OUTPOST8 FALL BACK. Forces of Japanese Make a Demonstration. Godzyadani, Manchuria;, Aug. 15— The Japanese began to advance against the Russians at Yangda pass -and at Zoumoshou, in the Ouitsgou district, at 9;30 a. m. Their forces were not very numerous, there being only two battalions in each column. The movement had every appearance of a demonstration. The Russian out- posts fell back in good order. The Chinese in this vicinity are again significantly leaving “for the southward. Small To Reinforce Linevitch.

YAQUIS ASK FOR PEACI. 1 kil 2 | Long and Bloody WarfarefBelIeved tor Be at an End. Megxico City, Aug. 15.—It is reporte, ed on the best authority that OJ Yaqui Indians of Sonora, tired of ther long, disastrous warfare carried omj against the government, are now aske ing for peace and that negotiati are actually being carried on leoking' to that much desired end. The war against the Yaquis has done incalculable damage to the state of Sonora and has retarded the- de- velopment of its resources to a greate er extent than is generally believed, It is understood that the peace con- ference, which has been called to meet at Ures, will result in a settle- ment. The claims of the Indians are that some years ago they were given lands to own and cultivate and that after they reclaimed the wild lands and put them into cultivation they were! told that a mistake had been made in the survey and that they would havef to accept other lands, which they didl without protest, only to have the same thing happen to thém a second time. It is now believed that they will be satisfled if they are given lands in some one of the valleys where they can live and cultivate their crops with' the assurance that their possession of' the land will never be interrupted. SURPRISED THE DOCTORS. Supposed Dead Man Regains Life Dut/ ing Postmortem. Des Moines, Aug. 15.—Louis Viel surprised several physicians and nurses at Mercy hospital by suddenly regaining life.
