The NATIONAL HOTEL EpIDEMIc.-The
New York Tribune says that the attempt TO
attribute the several deaths and many sick
nesses among the guests of the National Hotel
at Washington, to masma, seems not to be
borne out BY the symptoms of those who have
suffered. Among these are the Rev. Charles
H. Malcom and wife. of Newport, Rhoje L.
Their symptoms indicate arsenic, viz: intense
thirst and burning in the stomach, inveterate
dianhea, vomiting after taking food, red spots
are said to have been the symptoms of those
who died. It does not appear that the rain
water in the tank near the roof was used ex-
cept to supply the sleeping apartments. The
water for cooking, &C., seems to have come
