H. Butcher of 127 Michigan avenue Detroit, startled the passengers on a street car here with \Where am 1?\ Three months ago he left his resi- | dence in Detroit for his prace of busi- {ness. How he has lived during thi» | three months, what cities he has visit- ed and what he has been doing during that time are questions which he can- not answer. He accounts for his sud- den return to consciousness by saying \I had evidently taken out my watch to wind it - On opening the case I sud- denly beheld my wife's preture and with a start I seemed to awake as from a sound slumber,\ The conductor told him the number of the streot, and Mr. Butcher thirn asked him the name of the-city and date. For some moments he was un- able to adjust his faculties to the uew and strange surrotindings, and when ho finally realized that he had lost nearly four months his first idea was to get. into: comt.anication with his wife and family. A telegram was sent informing her of his whereabouts and ’in a short time an answer was re- | ceived. He left on a night train for home. cording to the system in general use.

New Orleans, July 27-Six deaths from yellow fever were recorded, mal ing & total to date of 45. The number of new cases reported yesterday is 11, making. all told to date 165 ¢ cases. There are now 19 centers of infection The organization of forces for fight ing the spread of the infection and for a campaign of education and practical application of the mosquito extermina- tion plans has been completed and be sides 100 men have been hired to clean gutters, while 350 men are working as part of the system of sanitation. Citizens are being organized in wards and these ward clubs will form precinet clubs and a house canvass will be made to assure the screening of every cistern and the oiling of every cess pool and water pond, The business men have provided the funds for this work and the people are aroused to the necessity of action. The-state board of health on Monday adopted new regulations for fruit ships, providing that they should re main six days at sea between the last port and New Orleans and requiring fumigation at the port of departure and fumigation after the discharge of the cargo. * Yesterday the steamship Anselm of the United Fruit compauy was allowed to come up after being at sea four and a half days and according to the ship's papers she stayed at the quarantine during which time her crew of 41 men were examined and passed. This aroused the people to action, and Mayor Behr- man and others waited on President Souchon of the state board of health and insisted that the regulations be made immediately effective. In view of quarantine complications, Dr. Souchon has called a conference for next Sunday of the health offlcers of Texas, Mississippi and Alabama to discuss quaranline regulations and de- vise a system by which travelers can be admilted with certificates of the marine hospital - service. Surgeon White who is in charge of all the government work will participate. The work of placing the detention camps has been finished and supplies are now heing sent to them. The in- fection in the original center seems to be dying out, as fewer cases are re- ported from there, indicating that modern methods have been effective The work now is to find the new cen- ters and treat them in the same man- ner. Physicians now are reporting all cases of fever and wherever there is the slightest suspicion rigid sanitary rules are applied, with the result that up to now there has been no spread of any case from any of the new cen- ters. Those which are developing are all traceable directly to the original case in the Italian quarter. The Emergency hospital was opened yesterday and patients were removed to it in a screened ambulance.

The naval tug Fortune will escort the Bennington and the Iris. Divers aro examinip‘g the Bennington's hull. Admiral Goodrich is expected to ar- rive on his flagship tonight or early tomorrow, when an official investiga- tion of the disaster will be begun. Much interests centers on the ques- tion of what was the steam pressure on boiler B at the time of the explos- ion, it being said th¥¥ the safety valve had been set to blow off at 140 pounds. Ten minutes before the explosion, the pressure was only 118 pounds and was rising, it is said. The boiler had been cleaned only a short tin. before the explosion and filled with fresh wa- | ter from shore. ' Only one boiler exploded. An exam- ination of the inside of the ship shows that the hull has been damaged but little, if any. The water which poured in and caused the listing came through the blowhole and pipes, broke en by the force of the explosion. The entry of water is now under control and no difficulty is expected in making the vessel sufficiently seaworthy to stand the trip to Mare island, Transfer of Bodies. Washington, July 27 -It was stated at the navy depqrtment that the trans- fers of hodies of those who perished on the Bennington to the homes of rel atives will be made as rapidly as pos- sible but that some delays must be expected since there are certain health reguldtions to be complied with in the cases of bodies already buried. The bureau of medicine and surgery, to which all requests for transportation of bodies is referred. is using every effort to expedite the work. 'An ap propriation is available for such trans- portation. Captain Drake at San Diego has re- ported to the navy department the death of S. Takata, wardroom cook of the Bennington. His father is G. Dukata at Tokio.

ANCE OF ARMY IN ATTACK ON city. London, July 27. - The Japane{§ landing at Dekastries, which is the terminus of the only cable line confiect» ing the mainland with the island of Sakhalin, is regarded by the London morning newspipers as, an attempt to seize the mouth of the Amur river in order to enable the Japanese to dis- patch an army up that great water way to threaten the Russian communi- cations. * Japanese gunboats and torpedo boats could thus reach Harbin and give effectual assistance to any attick on the Russian fortifications, Both the Ussuri and Sungari rivers are navigable for vessels of light draft and thus the Japanese could advarice inland in three different directions for a considerable distance. If, as is supposed, Japan has a river expedition in readiness, the mere threat of its advance may suffice to change the plaris of the Russians, and compel the retireihent from the Kirin and Fenghwa districts upon Harbin. Will- Vistt President Today, New York, July 27.-Baron Komura and Minister. Takahira, the Japanese | peace plenipotentiaries, will make an informal visit to President Roosevelt today. This announcement was made when Mr. Takahira arrived from a trip to Oyster Bay to officially notify the president of the arrival of his éol- league in the negotiations with Russia for peace. Only the two principals of the delegation will go to Oyster Bay today, the other members of the suits remaining here to transact the busi ness of the commission. The two plenipotentiaries will leave here about. 11 o'clock and it is expected they will return late in the afternoon. Attack on Turfién River,. London,July 27.-The corresportd:nt of The Daily Telegraph at Tokio sends a report received from Osaka, Japan, to the effect that a Japanese army of many thousand men is attacking the Russian position on the Tumen river. same time the denial was made by Jus- lee Kenefick leave was given for a re- newal of the Stanton application. It {foolishly éays it was not informed - of the leave to renew becduse that leave was given too late in the afternoon for it to know it-or that is tone apparent purpose of its statement that Attorney Thompson did not prepare his papers until afternoon on Monday. Elsewhere the Niagara Falls Catar-, act-Journal notes the fact that the proceedings ih Buffalo were correctly reported by it. 'That paper is, like the Union-Sun, an afternoon paper It is issued at the same hour as the Union- Sun. If the Cataract-Journal could tell the truth one has a right to ask what is the reason the TUnion-§un could not. + The Union-Sun quotes Tthe Buffalo News as supporting its falsehood of Monday after confessing that events it . claims it did not know about \in time prove that the story was false. The News obtained one of those type- written statements of a \great vic- tory\ probably; in fact the informa- tion comes on good author.ty that such was the reason the News and possibly one or two other papers were led into error. , If the Union-Sun desires to prove that it did not deliberately endeavor to misrepresent and fool the people with an utter falsehood it will expose the fakir who fooled it.
