WAsnINuroS, March 9.-Socre;ar Tracy
left Washington for New York this after.
noon. Commodore Walker, who acts as
Secretary during the absence Of the head
oil the department, tonight was shown the
latest San Francisco bulletin respecting the
alleged blowing up Of the United States
steamer Nipsic. lie had no hesitation In
stamping Il rs an absurd fabrication, and
he denies that any orders have been sent
10 San Francisco looking to the immediate
equipment & the new cruiser Charleston.
To show the utter improbabiliiy Of the
story, Commodore Walker says that telc.
graphic news reaching san Francisco from
Samoa must cross from Auckland 10 Aus
iralia, thence across the Dutch East ln-
dian Islands 10 Asia; up through Europe
10 England, and across the Atlantic Ocean
20 the Easter coast Of the United States,
where II is taken up by the land lines and
transmitted 10 California.
So, said the Commodore, II Is evident
that such news could not possibly reach
San Francisco before II is known Ia tho
East, as tho Navy Department has an OIL
Ger stationed at Auckland for the very
purpose Of forwarding information respect
ing Samoan events, aud II Is not 10 be sup.

SAN Francisco, CAL, March 9.--This
city had touch today Of excitement
which would follow the confirmation OF
the rumor that the United States man-of-
war Nipsic had been sunk in Samoan
waters by the German man.of-war, as re-
ported in the Breslau dispatch two days
ago. All manner OF disturbing rumors
were abroad during the day to the effect
that the naval authorities at Mare Island
had received news confirming the sinking
OF the Nipsic, which was intensified by
the statement that the Germans had seized
the American mail steamer Alameda, OF
the Oceanic Company. The statement
was also made that the Secretary Of the
Navy had telegraphed an inquiry to the
Union Iron Works, OF this city, as to
how soon the steel cruiser Charleston
could be placed in readiness for
her guns. Based upon these rumors,
and the further statement that the South
ern Pacific Company had received notice
TO be prepared to handle the Charleston
guns and naval stores, the newspapers put
out bulletin boards declaring that the sink
ing OF the American man-of-war had been
confirmed by private advices. Tremen-
dous crowds surrounded the newspaper
offices, and in spite Of lack of definite
confirmation OF the news regarding the
Nipsic, the news spread rapidly throughout
the city that the rumor OF the sinking OF
the American ship was true. Newspaper
extras, issued up 10 o'clock, failed Ia
definitely dispose OF the question as TO the
fats OF the American war-ship, or whether
Washington authorities were finally in
receipt Of coDfrmatory news. How
thoroughly the excitement had taken
hold OF the masses was shown in
the crowds OF men and women about the
bulletin boards, and the common senti.
ment expressed in case disaster had over.
taken the American vessel. The story no.
specting the steamship Alameda is shown
10 be untrue by the receipt Of a cable from
Sydney noting her arrival there. The
steas ,ship Zealandia, which Is due here
next Saturday, will bring mail adviccs
from Samoa up to Mar.h /, and unless
definite Geographic adyices are received
from Auckland in the meantime will give
the first authentic news from the island
received since the LIST OF February.

BAD SANITATION

Causes an Epidemic OF Diphtheria at
aallitzin, Pa.
PITTsBURG, Pa, March 9.-An epidemic
OF diphtheria has prevailed at Gallitzin
since November, and about 100 deaths
from this disease alone have occurred dur
ing that time in total population of 9, 200,
the average having been five deaths a
week. The disease is attributed to the
disregard OF the common rules OF SANTA
ton. The town has no water supply.
The outhouses and wells stand close to-
gether, and since the Mccoy mines have
been opened, over half the wells in the
town have gone dry. The inhabitants
have used water from the few living wells
that have become impure, something of
which even the physicians were unaware
until the epidemic broke out Some OF
the victims have been afflicted with a
black vomit and death ensued within day
or two.
Black diphtheria has become epidemic
in Cranberry Township, Nenango County,
this state. Nine children have died in
the past four days, and a number OF Others
are now down with the disease, which has
spread rapidly in the lower end OF the
county. So violent has the disease be.
come in st. Petersburg that the schools
have been closed and the council has
passed an ordinance prohibiting the hold
ing OF any public meetings. A number OF
fatal cases have occurred there, and many
new cases are reported. Two little girls,
daughters OF Mr.. Ellis Liotry, died Thurs.
day night, and other children in the same
family are down with the disease. In
several other families there are three and
four OF the members down at one time
In nearly every case where the disease Ina,
been allowed TO get start il has resulted
fatally. Prompt and vigorous treatment
is required at the first symptoms OF Tn,
disease or there is but little hope Of recov,
cry. AT present the disease is confined al
most entirely TO children between the age
OF i've and fifteen years.
