MARTIN Ez, MISSION.

Distinguished Mexican Physician En-
Route to Jacksonville.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, September 1.-THE city
council to-day, at the suggestion OF
Mayor Callaghan, appropriated $500 for
the relief of the yellow fever sufferers at
Jacksonville, Fla. Private subscription
lists are also being freely circulated in the
city for the same object. On Thursday
night benefit minstrel performance will
he given at the Grand opera house. 1t is
thought that by the end of the week the
fund will reach into the thousands.
Yesterday Doctor Ignacio Martinez,
of Laredo, passed through the city on his
way to Jacksonville to attend the yellow
fever patients of that plague stricken city.
The doctor has volunteered for this work
and despite the entreaties of his friends
and relatives refuses to retract his deci-
sion. He relies on his success in yellow
fever by special treatment of his own
which he has fully tested in Mexico in the
epidemic of 1882 in Meir and Matanorss,
and in Barbados and Vera Cruz. He
says by his treatment the percentage
of deaths is reduced from thirty-five
per cent to only per cent. He will
furnish in a few days to the San Antonio
papers full and explicit description of
this treatment as he had used it in Mexico.
He had printed little clips of paper con-
tanning in Spanish his course of treatment,
and this proved 80 effectual among the
people that the ravages of yellow jack
have been reduced to the minimum.
Doctor Martinez, who is also General
Martinez, having won his title during
service in the Mexican army, is a middle
aged man, finely educated, distinguished
author of several books, an accomplished
writer, editing "The World" lei Mundo)
in Laredo, and distinguished traveller,
having travelled twice around the world
and been in every country and under
every flag of the earth.

to do with the trouble. They were stopped
before they succeeded. Their presence
and actions so enraged the neighborhood
that nearly every man on this creek peter
took his gun and went in pursuit. They
came upon the West Virginia boys at Paw
paw mountains, where lively battle took
place. In the melee two of the West Vir-
ginians were killed and two more badly
wounded. None of the Kentucky boys
were hurt. Our county is in terrible
state of excitement just now. The West
Virginia boys say they will have revenge
in the same way. The Kentuckians are
ready for them at any time. just what
will be the outcome of the feud no one can
tell. During last month the West Vir-
giniaus have raided Kentucky twice and
have killed twenty-five men, while the old
commonwealth shows an unbroken front.

lieved the people of the state whose lives
we're threatened would ultimately sustain
him in his course. In consequence of lack
OF harmony between him and DR.. Blunt, the
quarantine officer here, he had removed
him and appointed DR.. f. X. Fisher
quarantine officer of this port, who would
assume his duties tomorrow, and this
was done with the full sanction of Gov
ernor Ross. Regarding quarantine regu-
lations at Galveston the doctor said that
he had always done what he deemed for
the best; in fact, had worked harder for
the safety of Galveston and consulted her
needs closer than almost any other point
in the state; that he was at loss to ac-
count for the i'll feelings against him. DR..
Fisher, the newly appointed quarantine
officer, acted in the same capt city under
DIR. Swearingen and subsequently under
Rutherford at Pass Cavallo, and has the
reputation of being faithful and effici-
ent officer.

developes. The excitement is very high

it is not stopped at once. Can you do any
