THE FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.
The acting secretary of the treasury has
addressed letter to the secretary of
state in regard to the foot and mouth dis
ease. The following is copy:
81 have the honor of enclosing herewith
newspaper slip containing telegraphio
dispatch from London, England, in which
it is alleged that Dodson, chancellor of the
duchy of Lancaster, said in the commons
it was an undoubted fact that the foot and
mouth disease in cattle had been carried
from England to America, and the Ameri-
| can quarantine system station to cattle,
| diseases gave no security against the con-
veyance of the disease by men attached to,
| the quarantine stations, and by articles
taken out of quarantine, and that
| the system took into consideration only
! the animals themselves. | deem it due to
! American interests to state that if the
| honorable gentlemen made the remarks.
attributed to him it must have been done.
without knowledge of all the facts of the.
case, and that in some respects such re-
mark is calculated to misIead the public
mind on the subject. Attention is called
to the enclosed report of the treasury of
the cattle commission in regard to the
foot and mouth disease among cattle in
the United States. While it is admitted
that the disease did exist in herds of cattle
| imported from Great Britain, the commits
| sion gives an empahtic denial to the pres
ent existence OF the disease among the
cattle of the United States. This state
ment is considered important because it
might be inferred from the. remarks of
Dodson tha. he disease which
had thus been imported from
Great Britain had not been
eradicated. Ample quarantine stations,
exist in the districts of Boston, Mass, and
| Portland, Me-, and as no contagious
| diseases among cattle exists, the possibility
of these diseases being communicated to
| our cattle by cattle arriving at those ports,
which ara the only ports on the New
! to be quarantined, is quite remote. 1 galf
| special attention to the stringent regula-
tions governing the quarantine of cattle,
herewith inclosed, which go far beyond the
scope contemplated in the remarks attrib-
uted to Dodson. I think if these
regulations are properly carried, out as,
l assume they will be, they will prove suffi-
cient to guard against the introduction of
contagious diseases by the importation of
foreign cattle at the ports wherelq ualan-~
tine is established. | have the honor to
request copy of this letter and its en-
closures be sent the British minister at.
this capital for the information of his
government"

uniting the tao ends near Mullan tunnel

sion to examine and report on this section
of the road.
| GOING TO MEXICO.
The Indian bureau has been informed
that the Jecarslo Apache Indians are now
on their way to the Mescaren agency in
| Mexico.
GET THEIR RANCH PATENT.
| The commissioners hegeneral Land, office,
to-day transmitted to the surveyor general
of California for delivery to persons legal

Ell Sobrante, in Contra Costa and Alameda

pital service to-day received the following
