SMALL Poy AND THE ECoNTRABANDs-Siuca
about the middle of june last cases of snail pox
have been sent frequently TO the ..contraband
camp" on Twelfth street. but THAI place con-
tanning over $50 persons of course the superin-
tendent, DIR. Nichols and the other officers would
not admit them but had them at once taken To
the eruptye hospital at Kalorama On the 10th
instant DR.. Nichols was notified that no more
such cases could be received there, the wards
all being full, and in consequence arrangements
had TO be made elsew here. After several inef-
fectual attempts 10 establish a hospital for this
class OF persons in the country, the authorities
erected tents several So uaTes north of the eamp
70 which all eruptiye cases among this class are
removed as fast as they occur, as is the case
with other hospitals. Since the establishment
OF this hospital cases of small pox have been
cons tantly coming in anti at present they num-
Der 80 cases. The number of deaths is very
small, there having but 1S died since the OPEN
ing, which is very low number among so
many cases. The hospital department Of the
coutraband camp has recently been placed in
charge of the medical director, and Drs Breed
tof this city, and Webster have been appointed
10 It's care. The camp as is situated now is
sufficiently removed from the small pox hos.
pital, and but little danger NAV be apprehended
by persons visiting them.
