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 Geographic
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.
I1A0A OuL VI ana That
the system took into consideration only
the animals themselves. I 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 a 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! fhe disease which
had thas 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
England frontier where cattle are allowed
to be quarantined, is quite remote. 1 cali
special attention to the stringent regula-
tlons 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
assume they will be, they will prove sufi-
Gent to guard against the introduction of
contagious diseases by the importation of
foreign cattle at the ports whereIo na1an--
tine is established. 1 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"
