this disease, so far IS | have been

compiling what | have found in the
medical literature of the day on the
subject.
The recent epidemic among the
horses visited this section Of the
country early in September last, and
early in October my attention was
called to persons who were laboring
under symptoms somewhat similar
in their character to those affecting
he horse These cases presented
the symptoms Of Influenza and
was epidemic IN its form.
The so called epl zootic IN the horse
is also al epidemic form of Influenza.
The word as applied to this disease
conveys no other meaning than sim
ply expressing its epidemic form ln
Dunglinson's Medical Dictionary the
word is thus defined:
"EPizoo," an animal-parasltic animals
which infest the surface Of the body or the
common intsgument. "EPIzooTiA"-a dis
ease which reigns amongst animals. 1t cor
res ends i n ihs veterinary art to epidsmy in
medicine. Epidemy means epidemic, dis
ease which attacks at the same time a num-
Der Of individuals, and is generally referred to
some particular condition Of the atmosphere
with which we are utterly ignorant. The
term epzooty simply refers 10 the epidemic
form Of the disease in the horse and is not Of
itself the disease.
We therefore infer that the late
prevailing epidemic in the horses Is
influenza in its form entirely, and
ths. the so,called horse disease is
epidemic influenza, and that the pois-
nous constituents in the atmosphere

Additional Outrng ges.

The telegraph brings intelligence that the
Cuban authorities have gone even beyond
the first brutal murder of persons known as
insurgents. They are now reported to have
put TO death in cold blood forty-eight
others. among whom we are panied to
learn was Captain Joseph Fry, citizen of
New Orleans, well known to many as a
most estimable man. Those who knew him
speak of his many excellent qualities as a
gentlemen and Christian, and it is possible
that his devotion to his family induced him
10 engage in the perilous enterprise which
has cost him his life. For this we a,e sin
cerelv concerned. Whatever may have
been the convictions of Captain Fry upon
the great issues which divided men and
sections in hostile array against each other,
he had avowed his allegiance to the govern
Inent. He was an American, and as such
entitled to the protection OF this govern
ment ald the sympathy of the men who
had fought against him. We tender our
sincere sympathy to his family and personal
friends, and assure them that his fate will
be regretted and avenged by an American
government as signally as that OF Candy
and the martyrs of Modoc treachery. We
await further and more authentic particu-
lars, with the conviction that the govern
ment and people of the United States will
yindicate the honor Of the flag, and punish
the murderers of an American citizen in
manner SO summary that it will never be
repeatcd.

The NNciiab,e Gentleman.'

We could hardly expect such an affair as
the Grant parish atrocity, to transpire with
out bringing the well known "reliablo gen
tleman" to the front. Our friend, the Pica-
ru,,e, has been favored with an interview
with him, soon after his arrival in the city
on board the Garryowen. We have been
informed by other gentlemen who are ac-
ouainted in Grant parish and intimate with
the afflicted family, that the person referred
to by the Picoyune, as its informant, is at-
Aicted with alteration of mind to that de-
gree that little reliance can be placed upon
his statements, and that moreover his ac-
count is not confirmed by their advices.
Certain it is that the report of the death
of Miss Lacour lacks confirmation, and we
have good reason TO believe it to be un-
founded There is no doubt, however, that
the colored people of the vicinity deprecate
the inhuman act of Henderson. and would
visit summary vengeance on his head If
they could get their hands on him. 1t is
not likely there were so many as 'eleven
others" besides Henderson concerned in the
affair, and none of the citizens OF Grant
parish entertain the belief that there were
any accomplices in the outrage.

Another Thrill! Of Horror.

The Intelligence received last night of the
shooting Of forty-eight of the persons cap
tured on the Virgnius by Spanish cruiser
on the high seas, among them the captain
and crew Of the steamer, adds to the already
intense feeling that has been provoked
against the Spanish tyrants in Cuba.
Enough Is already known of the circum-
stances to show that she was captured and
taken into Santiago de Cuba in violation of
the laws OF nations, and that q fair inquiry
would lave resulted n her release.
1t is clear that the home government had
instructed the Cuban authorities to stay
proceedings until further orders This
order was transmitted by President Cas-
teIar as soon as the news was received OF
the shooting of the first four victims. and
must have been received at the lime Cap
tain Fry and his comrades were shot.
Clearly in defiance then, of orders from
the supreme authority, the work of blood
shed goes on.
Cuba is thus not only in open violation of
the laws of nations and the customs of
Christian warfare, but also in open rebel
lion against the home government.
This, then, being the case, all questions
of policy must give way to those of neoes-
sity. Action Is bound to be had by our
government, and that promptly.
