N-w YORK, June 13.-The stringent
measures adopted by the Secretary of
Agriculture to stamp out the virulent
disease of pleuro-pneumonia in cattle
from its last stronghold in the counties
of Kings and Queens on Long Island
has created tremendous excitement and
reused the dairymen into an attitude Of
armed rebellion.
It is understood that Secretary .Rusk
recently received private intimation
that unless this disease should be eff
fectively extirpated a severe quaran-
tine would be proclaimed by England
against the importation of Ameri-
can cattle. This would paralyze one
of the most important branches of
American industry for the time being
and result in incalculable loss to West
ern cattle raisers Last week Secretary
Rusk spent two days in New York and
energetically impressed upon his sub
ordinate officers, Mr.. w. Judson Smith,
Government agent for the Eastern
States, and DR.. A. K. Robertson, chief
inspector for the State of New York,
the urgent necessity Of gathering in and
killing all cattle diseased or exposed.
A great raid was therefore organized
and executed by the two at the head Of
large posse of the bureau employees.
Dairymen were found prepared for Wig
orous resistance. They launched paving
stones, brickbats and other missiles upon
the invaders, hand to hand encounters
took place and in some instances pistols
were drawn. Some of the herds were SO
strongly defended that the bureau
forces were unable to capture them. (
Next day the headquarters of the
bureau in Brooklyn were in a state of
siege. Dairymen and dairywomen
joined in chorus of execration and de-
nunciation. Some had obtained writs
of replevin which were practically use
less, because all the captured cattle
had been Immediately slaughtered.
Meantime DR.. Robertson and Special
Agent Smith had sought peace and i'm
munity in New York City and only re-
turned Wednesday morning. 1t is
understood that there will be other
raids and that Secretary Rusk will not
modify the stringency of his measures
until this last lurking place of pleuro-
pneumonia be effectually conquered and
cleansed.
