Victor Hugo's Memory—Yellow Ferer.
Special to the Times.
Citt of Mexico, May 25,18S5.
The congress of the Mexican Repub-
lic passed to-day resolution" of respect
ami sorrow to the memory of Victor Hu-
go, and ordered that all public buildings
be draped in morning and flags be dis-
played at half-mast for the period of
three days.
The subject of yellow fever is attract-
ing a great deal of attention at present,
not only at, Vera C'ruz and the other
Mexican Gulf ports that are exposed to
it* ravage*, but throughout the republic.
The federal authorities are willing to do
anything that will promise relief from the
dreaded scourge. Investigations and
experiments were ordered some time age
bv competent medical authority, and they
culminated to-day in what may be con-
sidered as a partial failure. Two priso-
ners at Vera Cruz had beeu selected to be
experimented upon with the new system
of inoculating for yellow fever. The
experiment was conducted under the aus-
pices of Dr. Carmonai. One of the
prisoners has died, thy other one is to-
day not expected to live. Another trial
will be miule shortly.

Another Port Barrios Tale.
Vicksihrg, Miss., May 23.—James
Early, an intelligent youngMlssissippian,
25 years of age, who formerly resided at
Bateville, Miss., where he for a long
time was deputy sheriff, returued a few
days ago from Guatemala, where ho had
been Induced to go by labor agents and
seductive advertisements last summer.
In an interview last night ho said: "I
left Vicksburg in Febiuary last, to go to
Puerto Barrios, iu the republic of Guate-
mala, to work for Shay, Cornice & Co.
on the Puerto Barrios and Guatemala
City Railway. I landed there October
27 th, in the rainy season, and went to
work clearing track and grading up to
January 23d, when I went with the iron
gang and worked there till February. At
New Orleans I met a man named Parker
who had an office on Frout street, near
Crossman street, who was a labor agent
for Shay, Cornice & Co. In company
with one hundred and eighty-nine others
1 signed a contract to work at #2 per day.
We were to pay |9 transportation out of
our llrit pay, and were to pay 62.50 per
week board'.
We sailed on the steamer JElta Knight.
When we landed, we were put ashore in
the night, while it was rainlug, and had
no camp or place to go iu the ram.
Nixt day we put up some poles on forks
and covered them with meauci* leaves,
and these constituted our shelter. It con-
inued to rain for about two months. It
would rain for an hour and then would
come out hot on lis. We were not al-
lowed to stop for rain, but kept on in
mud and slush. 1 was soon Uken with
lever, which would lay me up lor a day
and leave me very weak next day.
When the fever was on mo, 1 could not
eat, but the following day 1 always had
a ravenous.nppetite. They issued meal
tickets to the workmen when the meals
were ready, and we could get nothing to
eat without a ticket. I went to the time
keeper who gave out meal tickets and
asked him for a meal ticket. He looked
over the list of those who worked the day
previeus and said: "You did not work
yesterday." "No, I was sick." "Well,"
said he, "we feed no one but those who
work. Get out of here and go to work,
and we will feed you." I was unable to
work, and I had to go to the thicket and
get some fruit to stay my hunger, till I
could recuperate enough to ro to work.
1 worked iwenty-two days and had done
$11.90 worth of station work when I was
unable to put iu a full day. I went to the
timekeeper and asked him how I stood,
when ho told me my passage was 113.50,
that mv board was f-1.50 per week, and
that 1 was then indebted to the company
91-50. I told him I thought he was-
mistaken and asked him for an itemized
statement. He said '-I will give you an
itemized statement." Then turning to a
drawer he took out a pistol and present-
ing it at me, said: "I will give you an
itemized account with this." I soon
afterwards in company with six others
procured a small sail boat and iu the
night ,ve escaped and made our way to
Belize, British Honduras. From there
we were sent home in the same ship we
went over on. Of the 109 who weut
over with me, there were not more than
ninety left when I escaped. For a time
they died at the rate of seven or eight a
day. Two companions of mine died and
were stripped of their clothing and buried
without coffins in a nude state, and with-
in an hour I saw their clothing in thecora-
mitsary for sale, and the same disposed
of on account to some of the men. Men
who were unable to work and not sick in
bed, were forced by soldiers to go to
work, and when on the works, if they
refused to work, they were arrested on
sometrlvil charge aud placed in the
stocks. Very few Americans
were put in the stocks, but
the Germaus were often thus
punished. A number of men ran away
and attempted to escape, but they
had charges put against them aud
barefooted soldiers arrested them as con
victs and brought them back, when heavy
tines were put against them in every case
Some of them appealed to Mr. Sarg, the
American consul at Livingston, about
nine miles from where we were at work.
He said he could do nothing for us. The
consul at British Honduras, in company
with some ladies, heard of our condition,
and he oame over to see for himself. Af-
terwards he reported the matter and the
United States man of-war Swatara went
over and brought the Americans away. I
Uad left, however, before their arrival,
and only heara this from some of the
boys who came over on her and wbo are

Captein Smith,of the Fourth cavalry,had

Friday twenty miles east of Alms, iu
which the Indians were routed. Casual-
ties unknown. The Apachesbroke away
and are making every effort to reack

further east, over Goodsight trail. Both
these passes are guarded and another
conflict is expected at any moment. It
is reported from San Marcial that live
Apaches passed Saturday night near Hal-
pals Spring. They were well armed and
snpposed to beeu route to join Geronlmo.
[Late last night we heard a rumor that
Geronimo's raid had passed near Engle,
a small railroad station in the Jornada
del Muerto, but we were unable to obtain
reliable particulars. It It should be con-
firmed, it would shew that the Apache
