steamer Plymouth at Key West, tele
graphed the navy department that OF
that day there had been two fatal case;
of yellow fever on shipbOard, and thai
he had taken every precaution to pre-
vent the disease from spreading. In
credible as it may appear, neither the
war or navy department were adj
vised of the prevalence of the disease
until to-day, when the engineer Officer
in charge of the government works al
Forts Taylor and Jefferson telegraphet
the chief of the engineer corps that
the yellow fever had greatly increased
within II few days, that all the nava
vessels were quarantined and the sol
diers garrisoning the forts would leave
immediately for colder quarters.
Following this came Il telegram tt
another army officer stating that the
epidemic was spreading, which report
was soon generally known In army
and navy circles, and was not confined
to the vessels of the navy, but thai
deaths were occurring IN Key West
The existence of the disease was un
known to the treasury Department., bu
upon hearing the report the supervis
ing surgeon, in charge of the marine
HOSPITALS, directed that instructions bt
sent at once to the surgeons at Pen
sacola, Mobile, New Orleans and Gal
weston be OH the look out for yellow
jack, and promptly report its appear
ance.

cursion party. This early appearance

in not advising the treasury depart.
meut of its existence, causes serious
apprehension lest it may become sud.
denly widespread in It's ravages.

5th oil February, Senator McCreary in
troduced bill promising that it had
been reported in responsible medical
journal of the United States that ii
had been ANNOUNCED in Texas papers
that II disease resembling cholera was
raging III Mexico at no great distance
from the frontier Of the United States,
aud directing, therefore, that the sec
rotary of war detail medical officer of
the army, under the direction of the
surgeon general, to investigate careful
ly the matter of said reports. 1t is un-
derstood that the surgeon general does
not deem it advisable to expend the APP.
preparation on such evidence, and de-
cines to detail the officer. The rapid
ity with which yellow fever Is reported
to have taken hold at Key West would
seem to indicate favorable condition
of the climate for the spread of cpl
delnic diseases, and it is possible that
Surgeon General Barnes will be induc-
ed to comply with the act authorizing
the expenditure Of two thousand dob
lars before it Is too late.
The following has been received at
the navy department from Captain G.
