SAN DIEGO SMALLPOX.

kilograms Announce That the Cases Are
Quarantined.
No action has been taken here by the
authorities in regard to travel between
San Diego and this place, pending the
investigation of the likelihood of danger
from the cases of smallpox at Chula
Vista, near that city. The San Diego
papers state that there is considerable
seriousness to the situation, that none
of the cases have been isolated, and that
there was danger of the disease spread
ing, because those who we're exposed to
it had been peddling fruit all the time,
which was sold on the streets. 1t ap-
peare from the published accounts that
the authorities there failed to take charge
of the cases, and that faith healer was
permitted to care for the patients, and
that he trusted entirely to his doctrine
and failed to keep the sick ones by
themselves.
DIR. W. G. Cochran, president OF the
state board of health, has received the
following communication in regard to
the matter from DIR. Remondino, of San
Diego, also member of the state board
of health. 1t is as follows:
"There are only four casee-three in
one family. Both houses are come eight
miles southeast of San Diego. The first
case came from Mexico. Strict quaran-
tine has been established, and I have
every reason for believing that it will
end there. Supervisors OF the county
are sparing no expense to stamp 1t out.
shall be on the lookout, 80 if anything
further in the way OF quarantining, is
needed it will be attended to at once.
The accounts in the San Diego papers
are sensational. There has been no
fruit picked or peddled by exposed per-
sons"
Late last evening City Health Officer
MacGowan received a telegram from
DR.. Thomas Y. Magee, the health Off
Ger at San Diego, informing him that
there were only four cases of varioloid at
Chula Vista, and that they were being
attended to by competent physicians.
DIR. Magee also stated that the suburb of
Chula Vista was quarantined, and that
two quarantine guards were on duty.
He did not think that there was the
slightest danger of the disease spread
ing.
DIR. MacGowan does not think that
there exists any necessity for putting a
quarantine on San Diego at present.
This is an extreme measure, he says,
and should only be adopted in cases of
actual danger.

A REDLANDs MAN MISSING.
Absent From Home For a Week and NJ
Word From Him.

Absent From Home For q Week and No
Word From Him.
James Canterbury, a prominent real
estate dealer of Redlands, left his home
on the first day of August for Los An
geles, with the intention of returning
on the fourth of the month. Mr.. Cam
terberry did not return and his family
have been unable to obtain any trace oi
him whatever. They are very much
alarmed, as heretofore he has invariably
telegraphed whenever he could not get
back on time.
Yesterday a description of Canter-
berry was sent Chief Glass and com
plete search of all the Los
Angeles hotels was made, but
no trace of the missing man
could be found. Several people from
Redlands called at police headquarters
last evening. They all fear foul play,
as the missing man had quite sum oi
money with him when he left home.
He is short, thick set man, with long
chin whiskers and moustache. He is
not drinking man, and has the reputa-
ton of being cool and sagacious and not
easily excited.
Canterbury settled in Redlands about
three years ago. At that time he had
little or no property, but has since made
$4,000 in shrewd real estate trades.
All efforts to obtain any trace of Can
terbury have proved fruitless. The
search will be kept up all the day.
