SMALLPOX AND YELLOW JACK
Both virulent in Cuba, But no Fears Felt
for This sOuntry.


Washington, July 15.-The marine
hospital bureau is receiving full reports
of the progress of yellow fever, cholera
and smallpox epidemics progressing
in various parts of the world. While
these show a heavy mortality for the
hot months, the ravages are not such
as to cause fear so far as this country.
is concerned.
The last reports from Cuba show that
smallpox is proving more deadly than
yellow fever. The fever is epidemic at
the port towns, where the Spanish
troops ar garrisoned but the small
pox is virulent throughout the interior
A recent letter from DR.. Caminero, Uni
ted States sanitary inspector at Sam
tiago de Cuba says there are 1000 cases
in that city, which has 5000 population
Dr. Caminero says: There are tene-
ment houses which contain as many as
twenty-seven cases. Yellow fever has
decreased somewhat, but will again
commence IT'S daddy mission as soon as
the new recruits announced as coming
begin to arrive.
In his last letter DR.. Caminero reports
Smallpox has taken a most virulent
form and the number of cases increases
daily. Yellow fever has also taken a
malignant character and all the ca SeS
end fatally at present. lightly per cent
of the smallpox cases are in non-vac-
cinated colored people who are COM
pletely opposed to being vaccinated
while the epidemic RACES from fear of
catching the disease. The government
will max vaccination compulsory and
government physicians will go from
house to house"
Marine hospital officials will strictly
enforce the quarantine laws and thus
guard against the entry of the epidemic
to American points. No case of yellow
fever has yet been reported in the Uni
ted States,and Key West. Fla, is the
only place afflicted with smallpox. The
reports from there show twenty-one
cases and four deaths, ending July g.
Late cholera reports from Egypt are
more favorable. The United Sta ties
commissioner at ConStan tinople reports
that the disease is abating in the inter-
Tor of Egypt. The Egyptian outbreak
has not yet spread to any European
port. A report appeared last week that
cases Of Asiatic cholera had appeared
at Dantzig, Germany. Surgeon General
Wyman cabted at once to Consul Cen
eral Kay at Berlin and in reply receiv-
ed a cable saying: False alarm; not
Asiatic."
Little apprehension is felt here that
cholera can be brought to this country
from Egypt AS the trade is very limited
AS a precaution, however, Consul Gen.
eral Penfield at Cairo, acting under in
structions from Washington, has order
ed that no invoices for shipments of
rags to the Unied States shall be made
until thirty days after the cessation Of
cholera

in appeal to Article VII Of the decree
relative to foreign citizenship of Novem-
ber 1884. Those not registering within
thirty days, Captain General Weyler
says, will lose their privileges and rights
as foreigners. All consuls have been
notified Of this act. The reason given
for issuing this decree is that the ma
tive Cubans are taking advantage of the
rights accorded to foreign citizens to es-
cape penalties which they lay them
selves liable to.

SEVERE STORMS IN OHIO
Heavy, Beating Rains Damage Crops A bou

Youngstown, O., July 1.-THE excess
sive heat yesterday ended in a terrific
storm last night. Lightning struck a.
number of dwellings, among them the
Second National bank. Shade trees
were blown down and much damage
done to fruit trees. The damage to
crops in this locality, especially to the
oats crop, will amount to thousands of
dollars. Oats had grown rapidly dur
ing the hot weather, and the stems
were rank and tender. The wind and
torrent OF rain have beaten down fus>-
drds of acres ad the damage to that
crop viii be the greatest in years.

ANOTHER RHEUMATIC CURE.

Cures for rheum atism seem to be
multiplying rapidly just now; and II
they are effective 1t is well, for rheu.
matte affections have been as incur.
able heretofore as they are painful,
notw ithstsnding the very many
remedies that have been offered and
which may sfford temporary relief in
many cases. The latest method fs said
to be the discovery OF a retired Lon.
don merchant, Louis A. Tallerman by
name, apo is known as the 'Psllerman.
5hifiold hot air treatment. For the
past three weeks the method has been
undergoing a practical test in New
York hospital. under the direction OF
DIR. Gibney, who reports that the
resulls obtained there In the short
time during which the treatment
has been tried have been such
as so cause the prediction that it
will make n revolution in the treat
ment OF rheumatic diseases. The
Bartholomew and London hospitals,
England, have been using the remedy
for some time, 1t ia said, with the
greatest success.
The apparatus used by Mr.. Taller
man consists OF copper cylinder, in
which the affected part is placed. The
cylinder rests on Furnaces by which
the air in 1t 10 heated to a temperature
OF $50 to 800 degrees, and ar arrange
ment o. valves snd taps keeps the air
perfectly dry and carries of all traces
OF moisture IRON Precipitation. BY this
means all danger Of burning or tcald-
ing the patient by the intense heat lie
avoided, and no Inconvenience is felt.
In fact, the sensation is rather pleas
ant. and patients often fall asleep
while undergoing the treatment,
which lasts from forty to fifty min.
utes. Two or three applications, 1t is
asserted, will cure the most obstinate
cases. The effect OF the treatment is
to relax the stiffened join,s, render
them supple, anu restore them 10 their
normal conditions, by setting up a
proiuse Precipitation and increasing
the circulation without any heart ex'
element.
1t will not do to rely too mucI Un
the claims OF any new method; but il
this stands the tests which reputable
phyBicianE are now seeking to have
made, 1t Will be one OF the grestest
boons to the sfii lcleq that has been
rec irded this century. Such pro.
gressive step may not be regarded as
unlikely, since medical science has
