SAN Francisco, Sept 24.-Mayor Alvord re-
ceived to-day communication from ID. j. Will
hanson, consul at Callao, stating that the small
pox was an epidemic at many of the sea-
ports of the coast between Valparaiso and Pana-
ma. The character of the disease was more
pernicious than the ordinary small pox and
much more fatal Consul Williamson says:
Gin one hospital at Santiago, Chill, cut of 5S
patients who entered one week. So died. and as
there are eight or ten such hospitals in that
city you can conceive its destructiveness. The
disease is making its way steadily to Calao.
We have many cases not of an epidemic form
in the hospitals. The entire negligence among
the authorities in all Spanish American towns
in sanitary affairs gives this disease and yellow
fever a greater field to spread over than it 9TH
erwise would if the necessary precautions were
observed" :"
