PRECAUTIONS AGAINST YELLOW
FEVER.
No Fears that the Infection will
Escape Quarantine Scrutiny.
New York Tribune. 18TH

No Pears that the detection will
Escape Quarantine Scrutiny.
New York Tribune. l5th.I
Two Of the crew Of the steamship
Niagara, which arrived from Havana on
Thursday, we're seized with yellow fever
after leaving that port and were sent 10
the hospital ship. Three others Of the
crew we're left behind at Havana, sick
with the same disease. There are now
several cases Of yellow fever in the hos.
pital in the lower bay, and one death oc.
CURED on Saturday. DE-. Vanderpoel
said that nearly every vessel which ar.
rlyes from Cuban ports has had cases OF
fever either during the voyage or pre-.
vions TO sailing, but that no alarm need
be felt. Every vessel from an unhealthy
port Wal subjected to a thorough luml.
CATION and cleansing before being al.
lowed to leave quarantine. He added:
mo vessel that is allowed to 20 to the
city can carry the fever, for every pre-
caution is used TO prevent the spread oil
infection. The most serious cases arr
brought to the port by steamers. Those
that come by sailing vessels are owing
10 the length Of voyage, usually past the
crisis Of fever by the time that they az
rive here"
The appearance Of the fever is SOM
what earlier than usual. This is said by
DR.. Vanderpoel to be due to the milc
weather which has prevailed in Cub
during the winter. He said that Their
had been cases Of fever there all through
the season, and to that fact was due il
early visit here. The patients now il
} the hospital are said to be in a fair wa.
Of recovery.

RCSSI1 INHUM1ITIES.

1he Russian papers are advocating
the court martialing Of Osman Pasha
for his cruelty to Russian prisoners.
Now, there can lie no doubt that he
deserves TO be tried for his crimes
upon poor helpless prisoners who fell
| into his hsnds while in command Of
the Turkish forces. But for the last
few years l have been reading Rus
sian papers carefully, yet l failed to
find single one Of them advocating
the trial of any of the Russian officials
who have been guilty of crimes far
greater than those for which Osman
Pasha is to be tried, and their crimes
were perpetrated upon Christians in
times of peace. No paper in Russia
urged the punishment of The Colonel
of the Jakuck's infantry regiment,
who is now a Major-General, for
giving the order to his soldiers, Tie

Gren amuse yOurselves-at the time of
festival, when the soldiers ravished
and bntchered in cold blood over 800
! innocent women and girls; not one
wife, mother or daughter escaped
their lustful desire. This was in 1879.
When the people sought redress from
the Gar, they were refused hearing,
and the Colonel of the regiment was
promoted. We do rot hear that
Leontlus, Bishop of Cherson, was
ever punished, nor the officers
who acted under him, for causing the
inhabitants of whole villages and
towns TO be murdered, the dead TO be
trodden under the hoofs of the horses,
and the wounded 10 be disemboweed
by blyOnets, because they did not
wish to leave their church and recog-
nize the Gar as God on earth. We
do not hear of the punishment of the
priest who in 1877 forced men, women
and children entirely nude to be
plunged III the river through the ice
i'll mid Winter TO be baptized into the
''true faith )" nor were the Cossacks
punished who knoutcd the merciful
crowd who stood along the banks oil
