The Matter OF Fever Investigation Com
sitered I'm Cabtnet.
WAsHrEeIos, July 1s-A cabinet meeting
| to-day was very brief; with the exception Of
| few routine matters, the only subject under
| consideration was request OF the national
| board of health that medical officers may be
| detailed to foreign countries where fever is
| known to exist for the purpose of examining
| all vessels bound for the United States and to
such as are not infected, issuing clean bills OF
/ health. The question arose whether under
| the act empowering the board, such details
/ were mandatory, but it was not finally deter
1 mined. The sentiment of the members pres.
/ ent appeared to be that it would be very nn-
/ Just to detail these officers to such places at
the risk of their lives. 1t Is known that there
has been considerable hesitation about order
ing either army or naval surgeons to such
| duty, unless as in the case OF supply ship sent
| down the Mississippi river last summer, vol.
u1tary offers shall be made.
