| The Guaranteed Steamers Meeting OF
the San Francisco BOARD OF Health.
SAN FRANCISCO, june 15th.-The steamer
| AMER Head was thoroughly fumigated to-
| day and her SOC Chinese passengers vac.
cinated. No cases of smallpox have been
! discovered yet, notwithstanding which fact
| the Quarantine Officer is not satisfied with
/ the sanitary condition Of the vessel. He
does not propose to release her from quaran.
tine until some time in the earlier part of
next week. The Captain of the steamer,
! however, does not seem to be very well salts.
1 fed with the action Of the doctor, and dis
claims against what he terms the arbitrary
quarantine laws OF the port. He claims that
| it is unjust to detain him when his vessel is
4 in a cieanly condition, and ne case Of con-
tagious disease is on board. He can take no
action in the matter, however. as the Quar-
antine Officer has full authority, according to
| the regulations Of the Board of Health, and
| can detain her as long as he sees fit.
| No new cases have been discovered on the
Altonower and DIR. Lswlor is hopeful that
the violence of the diseass has abated. 1t no
more of the passengers become affected with
the disease. the vessel will probably be re-
| leased in about twenty seven days.
I The Board Of Health held a regular month.
| ly meeting this evening. The committee ap-
/ pointed BY the Board submitted report in
regard to the subjects Of quarantine and
upon the question declaring Hongkong an in.
| fected port The report declares, in SUBJ
| stance, that the Board has no power to de-
clare Hongkong an infected port; that the
Board is creation of the Legislature, and de.
| f-o,., all its ,,oxvaro opd No axrroou
power is conferred upon it to declare ports in
| fected. The report further states that the
Board has no power to determine when or how
long q vessel shall be quarantined, the
State power being vested in the Quarantine
| Officer. There is not sufficient evidence before
the Board to justify that body il declaring
Hongkong an infected port. The ample
| powers conferred by the statutes of the State
on the Quarantine Officer appear sufficient
for the protection of the city, in the opinion
of the Board, aud has proved 80 in the case
of the Altonower. The committee favor
waiting until the assembling Of the next Leg
islature, prior to assuming to act under any
other Interpretation of the statutes. The
report was adopted by the Board.

The Debris Feeling at Marys-
vile.
MARYsvILLE, June 5tb.-The declaration
made by Hamilton Smith to the Associated
Press reporter at San Francisco yesterday ex.
cites much comment here. II is generally
believed that compromise between the mir
ers and farmers could be made on the basis of
Judge Temples decision, provided the miners
agree to shut down the mines until the i'm
pounding dams can be completed. In the
event of the miners willingness to comply
with this condition. the pending debris suits
would probably all be allowed to drop.
Otherwise no settlement Of the question can
be reached by conference. The temporary
suspension of hydraulic mining operations is
condition precedent Of any compromise.
Doubts are being expressed as to the value of
Temples decision from valley point of view.
Permission to use the river channels as debris
pounds is not regarded as conforming to Tenn.
pies findings of law that the miners have no
right to dump into the rivers. There has yet
been no official action of any sort in regard
to the matter. There is general distrust as
to the effectiveness of any debris dams that
can be devised 1t is believed that large
percentage Of debris must inevitably flow over
the best dams that can be constructed, and
that while dams may be necessary to keep
back the debris already in the rivers. NO more
should be put in for the present or future
generation to take care of. Drainage Com.
missioner Parks is much pleased with Tenn.
pies decision.
