Is IT SMALLPOX
Considerable Excitement Yesterday,
oecaslOued by the Arrival of the "oreron." /"

The steamer Oregon arrived fror
San Francisco with freight and pas
seugers AT 3 o'c'ock yesterday after
noon. Upon her arrival Capt. Pohl
man informed health officer Este
that he had sick man on boar
whom he wanted him to see. Mr.
Nagle, the steward, took DR.. Este
down into the steerage, where b.
IUuud nan with an eruption on hi
forehead and around his mouth auC
chin. The man exhibited some o
the symptoms OF smallpox. In re-
sponse to questions he said that hs
was from San Bernardino, CAL, hac
stopped two days in San Francisco
and then got on board the Oregon
that on Monday night he had head.
ache and felt feverish, and yesterday
morning came this breaking out Oh
his face.
DR.. Estes sent for city health off.
Ger Tuttle and the two held a cou-
sultstiou. Neither physician would
or could say positively that it was
smallpox, but that it looked q good
deal like it.
DR.. Estes ordered q red flag at the
mainmast and telegraphed to Gov.
Pennoyer. The. chief officer of the
commonwealth telegraphed him that
the case was under his supervision.
Capt. Pohlman was allowed to go
on shore, 30 was the first officer,
the ports we're opened and Astoria
freight discharged.
The passengers and others were or
dered to have no communication with
the shore. There are about 200 pas
sengers on board.
At 6 P. NJ, it was decided to allow
the sick man to stay where. he was
till this morning and then remove
him to the city pest house and let the
vessel proceed to Portland.
The law is very explicit, and is
mandatory in its provisions. It pre-
scribes that If the captain of any Yes-
sci arriving here believes that any
one on board is afflicted with a oon-
tagious disease, such as smallpox, he
shall anchor his vessel a mile below
smiths point, and notify the health
officer, and that the health officer
shall take charge OF the patient aud
place the vessel in quarantine.
Under the circumstances, the most
satisfactory place for tie vessel, or
any vessel believed to have smallpox
IN board, is exactly where the law
says she shall be, till such time as
he facts are determined.
The law is all right. There is moth
ing the matter with the law.
DR.. Estes gives it as his professional
opinion that the man has rosaeola.
