THE QUESTION OF DETAILING OFFICERS AT
FOREIGN PORTS AS INSPECTORS.
WASHINGTON, July 1s.-In the Cabinet
| meeting to-day the only subject OF impor-
lance discussed was the request of the Ma
tioual Board OF Health that officers OF the
navy he detailed to foreign countries where
yelloW-iever is known to exist for the pur-
pose Of examining all vessels bound to the
United States, and issuing clean bills OF
health to such az are free from infection.
The question which arose was whether the
clause authorizing such examinations in
the act Incorporating the National Board oil
Health was mandatory or not. No decision
was arrived at, but the opinion OF the Cabi.
l.net members present seems to be that il
would be unjust to detail either army OF
navy officers for such service ut foreign
yellow-feyer,. ports unless they voluntarily
offered to go. :" t1.
