1 THE YELLOW SCOURGE. Great Activity Manifested by Mar-inc Hospital» Service. N0 LOOPHOLE FOR DISEASE. Precautions of Railroads With Regard to Passengers For Southern Points. LinenesS'of Season an Aid to the Authorities. Washington, Sept. 9.—The outbreak of yellow fever at Ocean Springs, Miss, has come with a shock to the marine hospital service, which was congratu- lating itself that this year was going by without any disturbance of that sort. Leaves of absence have been gran-ted right and left to the surgeons and sub- ordinates, owing to the apparent pas- sage of the period of danger, and a .num- ber of these have had to be revoked suddenly. r-T‘he hopes of the service have not been ill founded. In former years, when any serious epidemic has occur- red, the first outbreak has always been earlier than this by six Weeks or more. In 1847 the date of the first appearance of the. fever wits the 23d of July. That was the latest“ on record. In 1853 it be- gan as early as May 8. In 1817,1855, 1858 and 1867 it began in June. The fact that the scourge has postponed its ap- pearance this year till September has deceived those who were watching for it, but, on the other hand, it holds forth a better hope that it may be stamped out promptly. Early frosts are among the things to be expected in view of the peculiarities of the season thus far, and although the recurrence of. epidemics in successive years has not been un- known, and has given rise to the feel- ing that frost does not kill the germs of the disease, there is no doubt that ,a sharp, cold snap, followed by a period of cool weather, would put it under con- trol for this year at least. ' A Careful Patrol Maintained. The marine hospital service has kept up a pretty careful patrol of the gulf coast from the Florida peninsula west- ward, with the purpose of keeping off refugees from Cuba who might seek a landing from their small craft and bring the fever with them. These precautions seem to have been effectual so far as Cuba was concerned, but the suspicion now is that the fever has found its way into this country from Guatemala. ”As the present seat of trouble seems to be Ocean Springs, it will be the pol- icy of the marine hospital service to prevent the spread of the epidemic from that point so far as practicable. Although this_ is a watering place and is within the state of Mississippi and subject primarily to the sanitary laws of the state, the federal law gives the United States authorities jurisdiction of an epidemic at the point where it threatens to cross state lines. Thus far, apparently, the local authorities, although willing to consult local au- thorities of neighboring states, have not shown any great eagecness for in- terference from Washington. This is usually the case, however, in such emergencies, and it is necessary to wait for the pressure of public opinion, at a later stage, to wipe out any remnant of narrow feeling, or at least any display of it. The bureau here has ordered three surgeons to the field, one of whom, Dr. Wasdin, was on the ground almost at the start. Dr. Carter and Dr. MuIry will share with him the responsibility for preventing the spread of the fever. Dr. Guiteras, will be on the spot by to— morrow. Dr. Guiteras is eminent for his diag— nosis'of yellow fever, and Drs. Carter and Murry have had successful expe- rience inr’managing detention camps for fugities from previous epidemics. , Railroads’: Precautions. The railroad companies operating in the neighborhood of the infected dis- trict have been warned not to sell tick- ets to any one wishing to leave the trains south of the latitude of Wash- ingtOn. In case a passenger insists upon stopping at any more southerly Vpoint the company’s agents are re- quested to make a note of his desti- nation and report it at once to the local authorities of that town. In previous epidemics the railroad companies have always proved faithful allies of the government in the enforcement of san- itary regulations, and it is likely that the panic of fear which will promptly spread through the south will cause the people of towns along lines of railway communicating with the fever centers to prevent suspected travelers from landing among them. The consideration which most worries the officers of the marine hospital serv- ice just now is as to how many infected permns may have left. Ocean Springs and carried the disease with them into other quarters. The summer population of the place is of the usual character found at a fashionable resort. The peo- ple who assemble there are careful enough of themselves to get away at the first hint of trouble, and they have the means to go and come without standing .on ceremony. Undoubtedly, when the suspicious 'appearing fever broke out there some time ago, which carried off about a dozen of the 600 patients who were stricken, a good many of the more cautious. visitors fled. No note was taken of their destinations, so that it will be impossible to trace the results of their flight. The particular digease which frightened them off, however, is prob- ably not yalow fever. It has more the characteristics of dergue fever, which is so rarely fatal that it is not much feared by southern sanitarians. In spite of'the threatening outlook the officers of the marine hospital service are not satisfied yet that they have any , serious outbreak of yellow fever on their . hands. There is still a fair chance that 1 ,they may stamp out the disease by I prompt action with the few cases which I have thus far appeared. The Fever at Biloxi. New Orleans, Sept. 9.——A dispatch 1 from Biloxi says that the three cases reported last night are the only ones! that have so far developed at or around Biloxi. The people there are quiet and: the outlook is for no excitement. The Stanford Estate. San Francisco, Sept. 9.—Mrs. Jane Stanford, executrix of the estate of 1 Senator Stanford, has applied to Judge 3 Coffee for an order approving her re-i cent action in discharging several legal cies of $100,000 each by the distribution of property. 1111 E E v E E 1 E G G A Z E T T E. [:3 I I . ; f' LEE BACK FROM CUBA. l‘ho Cuban Consul General Says That Cis-‘ neros Stories Are Exaggerations. New York, Sept. 9.—Consul General Fitz Hugh Lee, accompanied by his son, Fitz Hugh, Jr., arrived here from Ha- vana on board the Seguranca today and :eft for West Point to see his other son, who isa cadet in the United States Mil- itary academy. The general said that he had been suffering from biliousness for some time past, but ‘he felt very much better after the sea trip. He looked well. When asked whether he would return to Cuba or not, the general shook his head and said: ' “I cannot answer that, and I would rather not talk on Cuban affairs until I make my report in Washington.” In speaking of the case of Evangelina C‘assio Cisneros, the general said: “The young woman is now confined In Case. Recohidas. She has never been tried, and I do not think that it was ever intended that she should be ban- lshed. The stories of her ill treatment are very much exaggerated, and were It not for the hubbub which has been raised about her the girl would prob- ably have been released long ago. In fact, I was given to understand that her name was on the pardon list. She has comfortable quarters and is treated as Well as possible under the conditions. There is a.» good deal of suffering in Cuba, but the Americans, numbering about 1,400, are being cared for from the fund of $50, 000 which was appro- priated for that purpose. They receive relief daily, and up to the present time about $15, 000 has been expended. ” Before he made this rather formal statement the general was a little freer With the English, though it amused him to say he had lost in Spanish. There were a score of reporters, photogra- phers, and artists from the newspapers to receive him and his news, but most of What he said was disappointing to them. This is the way he talked: ~ "I know what you want, boys. 1 know exactly what you want, and if I were not an official I could swap stories about Cuba with you until the cows Went home. As it is my lips are sealed. I can’t talk until I get my English back. There will be no prosperous times in Cuba until the war is over, and when that event is likely to occur I cannot say. “There is one thing that I am at lib- erty to speak of, and I do it cheerfully and anxiously, as I wish to correct a false and stupid impression which has been created by the newspapers. I re— fer to Senorita Cisneros. This young woman has two clean rooms in the Casa Recohidas and is well clothed and fed, It is all tommyrot about her scrubbing floors and being subjected to cruelties and indignities.” Barril’s Fate Uncertain. Madrid, Sept. 9.-——Owing to the lack of accord among the members of the court martial who tried Barril, the an- archist who attempted to assassinate the chief and assistant chief of police of Barcelona, the captain general has de- :lined to acrept the sentence of death mposed upon the prisoner and his case will be plesented to the supreme mili- tary tribunal. fix-Lieutenant Governor Dead. .Newport, R. 1., Sept. 9.—Hon. Henry H. Fay, 62, postmaster of Newport for four years under President Harrison and lieutenant governor of the state from 1880 to 1382, died today after a long illness. He has a delegate to the Re- publican national \ convention which nominated Abraham Lincoln in 1864 and was always identified 1'. 1th that party. Departure of Senator IIIorgan. San Francisco, Sept. 9.—United States Senator Morgan of Alabama has sailed on the steamer Australia for Honolulu. TIRES THAT LEAK. The Morgan & Wright single-tube quick-repair tire must be regarded as a distinct improvement in bicycle tire construction. It has the following ad- vantages: While punctures in it can be re- paired with plugs, or semi-liquid inv jections, as well as in any other single-tube tire, it can be permanent]; repaired by using the quick-repair strip inside the tire. See out No. 1. By injecting M. & W. quick-repair cement through the puncture, and then pressing down on the tire with the thumb, as in out No. 2, the repai: No. 2. strip inside 1s picked up by the cement, thus closing the puncture, as in out No. 3. The Morgan & Wright single-tube quick-repair tire is guaranteed not porous. This is on account of the way in which it is made. Nearly every rider has heard of tires that “leak like a. sieve.” , Many tires rot, because water gets 1 into the fabric between the two layers of rubber. The Morgan & Wright fabric is proof against moisture. . I Everybody knows how comfortable Morgan & Wright tires are, and yet how seldom they puncture. This is due to the fabric. Ask any bicycle dealer whether 1 other tires last as long as Morgan & Wright tires. Ask, also, what the Morgan & Wright guarantee means. Morgan & Wrighttires are repaired free of charge, at the factory in, Chicago or at any of the Morgan & Wright free repair shops, loCated in the principal cities. ' N. B. —-When you have a puncture, get right off. Riding a. tire flat, when it has a tack or nail in it,” may ’amage it considerably. ' INCORPORATED. 1824. Saving Lives. _ Doctors declare that cancerous growths cannot be cured. Surgeons say they can cut . them out, but that it ogly postpones the in- 4&4 .evitable. The old ‘ 4,63 trouble comes I ; back. The poison \ (‘0 is in the blood. ‘“ 3 I . . ii You can’t cure it from the out- side. Make the blood pure and rich, then the disease can’t thrive. That' Is exactly what Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy' 1s good for. Rev. I. W. Hill, pastor of the M. E. Church at West Almond, N.Y. ,some years ago suffered with a cancer of long standing on the lip and .concluded to have it removed. About three weeks before the operation he purchased Dr. David Kennedy’s Favor- Ite Remedy, and? continued taking it for some time after the cancer was removed. Ten long years have passed since then, and no trace of the ugly thing has returned. This wonderful medicine acts as a nerve and blood food. It makes permanent cures of Nervous Debility, Sleeplessness, Dyspepsia, Rheumatism and all Women’s Weaknesses. It restores the disordered liver to a. healthy condition and cures constipation. 81 a bottle at druggiots’. IIEIIE’ YOIIII IIIIIIIIIE. A fine building lot on Wilton ave ll one.
