BALTIMORE, Nd, Dec. 2S.-Owing to
the carelessness of the New York quar-
antine officials, Baltimore has had the
germs Of diphtheria distributed in one
Of the most populous sections of the
city. A ship-load of Italians was
landed in New York about two weeks
ago. There had been several deaths on
the voyage, but though this was known
to the commissioners they allowed the
emigrants to land without any precau-
ton being taken to prevent spread of
the disease. One ofthem, Stephen Leone,
came here with his five children,
and took up quarters at the house of
Sam Marento, a resident Italian. Two
days after his arrival diphtheria broke
out in the house, and before q week had
passed several deaths from the disease
had taken place. Effort is being made
to locate the passengers and place them
in quarantine temporarily.
