DIR. THOMPSON presented to the Board the following
communication from the Physician OF the Marine Hos
piial which came 10 bis hands Thursday. He remark
ed that he very much regretted that the authorities Of
sister city should think of acting in such spirit
of retaliation. He had detained vessels from Baiti
more for observation, because vessel from
that port brought in case Of well marked yell
low fever and the patient subsequently died Of black

Health Officer of the port hsd been able to make yels:

President BARKrf remarked that fhe case Of yeoY
fever taken from the Baltimore vessel was wep mark
and from ali the facts that he ycoud g& ~ = 4,
came to the conclusion that il originated somewh$e ~
the city of Baltimore. He had no particular ynn w
quarantine vessels from that port exceEf1 91H32
ton and did not propose TO take that 0ursc spy'9
ger than should be necessary for tbe puohc :.s
Of yellow fever, it the duty OF tle noaio y -
after subsequent arrivals from the same port ana nave
them carefully inspected. They should, at least, be
detained for obsery alton. II,
n, MILLER did not think that the man who died OF
1Ia,v feyer from the Baltimore vessel contracted the
disease at that port nor did he deem 1t necessary 70
order spy material detention Of vessels from that
Mace. BE did not, however, object 10 OBTAINING them
a few days.
Dr. ROCKWELL thought vessels from Baltimore
should be detained for observation. As one case had
come from that port it but prudent TO detain ycs-
sells arriving subsequently, for observation. Tho
course which the Board Of Health Of Baltimore should
think proper To adopt in regard 10 vessels from this
port ought not TO govern the action Of the Commis-
siOners.
The Board then adjourned.
