MORE KICKS ON QUARANTINE.
This Time the sapeIO station Gets
share of Ii.

This Time the Sape1O Station Gets
Share of 1t.
Another ship captain had a tale Of woe
to relate yesterday concerning quarantine.
Capt dos Refs of the Portuguese bark
Arcelina, consigned to A. E. Moynelo &
Co., makes the complaint. This time the
government quarantine at Sapelo comes
in for a share.
Capt. dos Refs does not speak English,
and Mr.. Moynelo acted as interpreter, the
statement being chiefly taken from the
captains log. The log shows that the
Arcelina arrived at SapeIo from Rio Sept.
%, and went to the wharf to discharge
ballast Sept. 27. She commenced dis
charging Sept %, discharging seventy
two tons that day and sixteen tons the
next, Sept. 20.
The cyclone of Sept. % compelled the
vessel to leave the wharf. The next day
the captain wanted to go back. but found
the German bark Titania there in his
stead He was instructed to discharge
ballast In the water near by, but, as he ex-
planned, was able to discharge only a
small amount in any one place for fear a
high tide might carry his vessel over on
the piles of ballast. He spent six days in
discharging in this manner and on Oct. 8
was ordered back to the wharf. The vessel
was disinfeeted Oct 10 and the usual de-
tention of five days after disinfection en-
forced.
The captain seemed to feel very much
Observation-Disclosures the German bark had
been ordered into the wharf ahead of him
when he had been driven out by the
storm.
He arrived at Savannah quarantine Oct
16 and waited until Oct. % to get to the
swharf, there being two other vessels
ahead of him. Two daye were spent in
discharging the Sapelo ballast, after
which he came to Savannah, arriving Oct
"a.
According to the captains log, 1t requir-
ed just a month. lacking one day, to reach
Savannah by way of Sapelo due largely
to the enforced delays in waiting for
berthS at the two stations

TO DE PUT on THE POoR FARN
The Demented German Franz
brought Back to savannah.

The Demented German Franz
brought Back to savannah.
Jacob Franz the demented German sail
or. whose case has attracted so much
attention because of the circumstances
surrounding 1t, is back in the police sta
ton in Savannah.
AS the readers of the Morning News
know Franz has been in a private asy-
lum at Mlledgeville, his expenses being
paid by those whose sympathies had been
aroused, the authorities of the state luna
tic asylum having declined to receive
him. Franz arrived from Milledgeville
last night in charge Of Deputy Simmons
who carried a lunatic to the asylum. on
arriving at the depot he was released. but
was Immediately arrested by Policeman
Connolly, and sent to the police barracks
on the charge Of vagrancy. He will be
turned over TO the city court on the
charge of yagrancy, and will be sentenced
to term on the poor farm This is the
most charitable disposition which can be
made of him under the circumstances. In
the meantime an effort will probably be
made to have him returned TO Germany
in which country he belongs, and whose
duty il is to care for him
A gentleman who has had experience in
the practice of the government i'm such
cases informed Morning News reporter
that by the laws of the United States the
ship which brought Franz to this country
or any other ship owned by the same
company can be compelled to return him
TO the port from which he was brought
1t is not necessary for one Of these ships
to touch at this port, but if found at any
port in the United States such action can
be taken. This not only applies where per-
sons were brought to this country in an
insane condition or whose condition is dis
covered shortly after their arrival, as was
the case with FRANCS, but in all cases
where insanity develops within six or eight
months after the arrival of the person so
afflicted. This is part of the law, intend
cd 10 prevent other countries from dump
ing their paupers, criminals and un-
tics on this country. This
being the case IL would seem to be a good
idea TO watch the maritime reports for
the arrival in this country Of any vessel
Of the line on which Franz came to Sa-
vannah, when legal steps could be taken
to compel the vessel to accept Franz as a
passenger
once landed back in Germany, that coun-
try could hardly refuse to care for him.
The German consul declined TO take any
steps IN FRANCS case on the grounds that
he was deserter from his ship.
