AMERICAN SAILORS KILLED.

Four Of the Crew OF the United States
Man-of-War Baltimore Slain In . Street
Fight with Chilian Sailors.
VALPARAISO, Oct 17.-Three. per-
haps four, American men-of-war men
were killed and several others were
more or less severely wounded in des-
perate street fight here Friday after
noon with crowd of Chilian sailors.
The Chilians did not do all the fight
ing, for when the fight was ended q
number of them were found to be
pretty badly hurt, though so far as
can be ascertained now none of them
were killed. The American blue jack
cts who were engaged in the battle
were from the United States cruiser
Baltimore and the Chflians were from
the various warships now in the har-
Dor. 1t is impossible at present to get
the full particulars of the fight or the
names of the killed and wounded.
There are several accounts as to
the origin of the difficulty. One of
them which seems plausible is this:
Ever since the triumph of the
junta there has been feeling among
the lower classes of the people of
marked hostility to the Americans, and
the blue jackets from the American
warships were sometimes subjected
to insult. 1t is alleged that a party
of men from the Baltimore, ashore on
liberty, went up with the Chilian men,
of-war men. The hatred of the yam
KEGS" led to some insulting remark,
which was resented by one of the hot
ter-headed Americans and this brought
on the general fight which was at
ended with such fatal results. There
vas much excitement in the city when
the news Of the fight spread. The un-
fortunate affair is greatly regretted in
official circles and among the better
class of citizens

A Few Facts Regarding Diphtheria.

1t is both Iinfectious and conta
gious. There IL no such thing az
black diphtheria. The contagious
element clings to solid and semi
solid fnties, and this may be com.
municated even after a long time.
1t clings to furniture and dwellings
more tenaciously than any other
disease. II is transported by the
air. Neglect of ventilation in
creases its contagious character.
Mild cases may produce severe ones,
and vice versa. 1t is frequently
found among hens, cats and Other
animals, hence, danger Of transmits
sion to man in this way The peri
cd of incubation varies from one or
two to fourteen days.
The characteristic sign Of diph-
liberia is a grayish white membrane,
or, a; least intiltration on the ton
-sils or surrounding parts. IL may
be mistaken for folicular tousilItis,
but here the secretions which re-
semitic he membrane Of diphtheria
can easily be wiped off, but the true
membrane cannot. Every parent
and every teacher Of public schools
should be taught to distinguish
diphtheria from other throat afTec-
tions, that they may be able to
promptly isolate child suffering
from diphtheria. After a case has
existed in a family, everything
should be thoroughly disinfected I;
the room thoroughly fumigated
Ii should be borne in mind that
deodorants are not always neoessari.
ly disinfectants. The best way to
prevent the spread of the disease is to
isolate the cases 40 fast as they oc
cur, disinlect everything that has
been used in the room with the pa
tent or patients, and in the mean
time thoroughly cleanse every place,
street aud alley OF any offensive
matter that may serve as a breeding
place for disease germs.
If this be thoroughly done it will
not be necessary to interfere with
commercial and educational inter
ests. The bacillus of diphtheria is
destroyed by temperature Of 40

disinfect Chloride of lime is the
best chemical agent to disinfect
