The Fever at RiIoxi

At last it has been quite satisfactorily
determined that there is an epidemic
of yellow fever at Biloxi, Miss. The
place is on the Louisville and Nashville
railroad, about eighty miles from New
Orleans. 1t is one Of a half dozen coast
summer resorts on the Mississippi sound,
and the yellow fever sometimes prevails
there when il does not make its appear
ance anywhere else along the Gulf coast.
A month ago there were suspicious
cases of fever at Biloxi, and the Presi-
dent of the Louisiana State Board of
Health declared that they were yellow
fever cases. This was denied by the local
physicians, and they were sustained by
a physician of the marine hospital SER
vice. Considerable correspondence was
the result of this difference Of opinion,
and the Biloxi people passed some rather
fiery resolutions, which were directed at
the Louisiana Board OF Health for pro-
posing to establish quarantine against
their town.
1t turns out, however, that DIR. Holt
was right, II his advice had been fol-
lowed the Biloxi people would have taken
vigorous measures at once for stamping
out the disease while it was In it's infancy.
They preferred, however, to make them
selves believe that the dreaded disease
had not obtained a Judgment in their
town, and hoped, doubtless, that the sus-
picious fever would soon disappear. 1t
did not disappear, however, and has
already invaded a great many homes and
claimed number of victims. The sur
rounding towns and cities have cut off
communication with the infected place
and there is no doubt that 1t will fare a
great deal worse than it would if the fe-
vcr had been dealt with frankly and in
diligently in the beginning.
People can make no greater mistake
than TO attempt TO conceal the existence
of an infectious or contagious disease
among tnem. 1t is very seldom that the
outside world can be kept in ignorance of
1t, and the measures adopted to Keep it
secret make 1t impossible to take the
proper steps to prevent its spread.
1t has been stated that the first appear
ance of yellow fever In this country was
at Biloxi. Whether that statement is
true or not, it is pretty certain that it
makes its appearance there quite often.
If the present epidemic there should as
sumo violent type, doubtless other cit
les which have railroad communication
with the place will take the necessary
steps to protect themselves from the
fever. The season Is not yet too far
advanced to apprehend danger from 1t.

Bringing the Cubans TO Terms.


The Presidents proclamation, with
drawing from Spanish vessels certain
treaty privileges which they have been
| enjoying in American ports, was notvery
kindly received in Spain. In our foreign
dispatches yesterday the statement was
made that the Spanish Cabinet had been
considering it, and that the hope was ex-
pressed that trouble OF any kind might be
avoided. The organ Of the Spanish gov
eminent declared that the proclamation
originated in the intrIgues OF an Ameri-
can steamship company, and that if the
American government insists upon
pursuing the course indicated in
it Spain will have sufficient justif-
cation for putting all American products
In the fourth column OF the customs
tarIf, which means. of course, discrimlna-
ton against American products,
Spain ought not to feel that she has
been wronged in any way by the action
taken by our government. Indeed, it
could not honorably do anything else I'M
der the circumstances. A treaty was en-
tered into by Spain and the United
States in 1884, giving Ameri-
can vessels IN Cuban ports certain
privileges which they did not have be-
fore, and which also gave desirable privi-
leges to Spanish vessels in American
ports. President Arthur, just before the
expiration of his term, issued procla-
nation reciting the treaty, and author
izing 1t to be enforced so far as this coun-
try was concerned.
The Spanish vessels in our ports got all
the treaty gave them, but the provisions
of the treaty, relative to American YES
sells in Cuban ports, were not enforced.
The determinations against American
vessels continued. There is every reason
to think that the government at Madrid
did all it could to enforce the treaty. The
Cubans, however, refused to obey the in
structions OF the home government.
The Secretary of State, Mr.. Bayard, was
not hasty in advising the termination OF
the treaty. He instructed our Minister
at Madrid to see il something could not
be done to secure the enforcement of the
treaty on the part of Spain. In response
to the efforts of our Minister the Spanish
government, lastJune, Issued proclama-
ton commanding the Cubans to obey the
treaty. NO attention was paid 10 it in
Cuba. The determinations against
American vessels became unbearable.
Interested American ship owners visited
the Secretary of State and insisted that
something should be done to secure them
their rights under the treaty.
When Mr.. Bayard became satisfied that
there was no hope of getting Spain to
carry out her part of the treaty he adj
vised that the privileges granted to Span
ism vessels be withdrawn.
spain could not reasonably expect that
our government would continue to enforce
a treaty from which it does not obtain the
benefits for which it stipulated. That
would be too much of a one-sided affair TO
be satisfactory to the American people.
