| The following dispatch from San Fran

ton of affairs in the Bay City: The rapid
increase of smallpox is causing considerable
uneasiness in the city, and there seems but
one opinion, that serious developments OF,
the pestilence may be expected. During the:
past week o. new cases were reported, and.
10 deaths. aud it is believed that many cases:
exist that have never reported. No part Of
the city is free from the disease, the best as
we'll as the worst localities having furnished
cases. Yesterday 90 cases were reported at
the health Office; and it is likely from the
commencement made this morning that as
many more will come in during the day.
Two physicians are in attendance at the health
Office from morning till night and hundreds

for vaccine matter arc being sent East and
just at present the supply is scarcely equal to
the demand, owing to orders forwarded from

CAPT. STAIRS DEATH.

As there have been various conflicting
reports circulated with reference to the
circumstances which Immediately pre-
ceded Capt. Starts death, on the 14th
inst, we deem it proper, in justice to
all concerned, to publish an authorita'
tive statement, derived from facts fur
nished by the officers of the steamer
Annie Ste,cart.
1t appears from the statement of Mr..
Bigelow, the Purser, that, on the 18th,
Capt. Starr was in the enjoyment of his
usual health, that he appeared to be in
excellent spirits, and on the trip from
Port Townsend over he invited Mr.. B
to partake of some nuts which he had
purchased at that place. Mr.. 3. as

afterwards went to the bar and took q
drink of root beer, and this is undoubt.

suffelings. On arriving at Port Madison.
Capt. Starr complained Of cramps in
the stomach, and retired to his room,
saying to Mr.. Bigelow You and Char
ley can do as you please about laying UP
at Seattle till O'Clock, or proceeding
on the trip. I am going to bed." AS the
boat approached Seattle, Capt. Starr
came from his room, and said the atmo-
sphere was so hot and oppressive he
could not sleep. Mr.. Bigelow opened
the doors of the Office and urged him
to occupy his berth, which he did, ex-
periencing immediate relief from the
draft of cool air, he fell almost immedi-
ately asleep. On arriving at Seattle.
the Captain arose, and reiterated his
former instructions that the officers Of
the boat could do as they pleased about
remaining at the wharf or proceeding
on the trip. He then went to bis room,
still suffering from pains in the region
of the stomach. Messrs. Clancy and
Bigelow, concluded to remain at the
wharf and went to bed, and to this cir
cumstance may be attributed the impor-
tant incidents which soon followed.
About midnight DR.. Sparkling was
called to prescribe for Capt. Starr,
whose sufferings in the meantime had
increased so much as to render medi-
col aid necessary. The Bartender tes-
