YELLOW FE YER IN BUENOS AYRES

letter dated at Montevideo, April 10,
describing the terrible pestilence raging in
the neighboring city of Buenos Ayres, makes
the remarkable statement that the population
of the city, which ten weeks ago numbered at
least 200, 900 souls, is now reduced to 49,
600. About l50, 900 have fled their homes,
some taking refuge in Montevideo and the
towns up the Parana river, but the larger
from ten to fifty miles of Buenos Ayres.
The writer makes some important revelations,
as follows;
''rhere is much division of opinion as to
the origin of the fever, but it is pretty well
settled that it was brought in an Italian emf
grant ship, which arrived from Genba and
Barcelona in January last. As to the canse
of the spread and ravages of the disease any
enc who has ever been in Buenos Ayres can
readily see. The city is built on the flat
shore of the river, is without any system of
drainage whatever, and for nearly two hun
dred years the inhabitants have buried all
filth, garbage and refuse matter of every des-
cription beneath their houses. This was
done by sinking bell shaped wells to depth
Of fifteen or twenty feet the sides being
Strengthened with rude brick work. These
were reached by small openings at the
surface several feet in depth, and through
these apertures the filth was deposited in the
cesspools below. When the sinks became
full the mouth was filled up, and new cess
poo! was dug elsewhere. This system pre-
vailed everywhere throughout the city, and
to-day Buenos Ayres is honeycombed by
these filthy traps"
