- ONE NEW CASE.
The First in Four Days Was Repouted Yester-
 day Morning.

One new case of smallpox, the first in four days, was discovered yesterday morning. As in the previous instances, the patient was a negro. He is William Shelton and resided on Fourth avenue, between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets. He was sent to the Red Noun tain camp.
 Four cases were reported for investiga- tion, but they were not considered small pox.
 Red Mountain camp is now known as the quarantine hospital and the house of detention as Camp Evans, in honor of the mayor.
 At the city hall yesterday only eight applicants were vaccinated.
 The vaccine points heretofore used have been discarded and the lymph used and prepared by tha New York board of health has been substituted. The change was made yesterday when the latter arrived.
 Dr. Wilder stated that Dr. Darlington looked at about thirty of the- cases and pronounced them suffering from small pox. He deemed it unnecessary to ex- anime the remaining sixty-four cases.

A Slight Comnlication

Washington, Aug. 13.-Inasmuch as it is known at the state department that there has been no genefal order issued for the release of all tobacco held in Cuba for export to the United States in ac- cordance with the prohibiting order is- sued by General W4yler yesterday. Each case Is being treated by itself and due consideration is being given to the evil dence which must be produced by the American owners, such as proof that the contracts for delivery of the tobacco were actually made prior to the issue of the prohibitory rule, dates of the various steps in the transaction and explains for the reason why the tobacco was not shipped before. In come cases there is considerable delay in releasinb the tobac- co because this evidence has been sent to Madrid instead of Havana, but gsn- erally it is said the Spanish government is treating the applications with proper attention.

WITH GUNS IF NECESSARY.
Dr. Mcdonald Says Patients Will Be Removed
 No Matter Where Found.


 Dr. McDonald, vaccination surgeon of the health department, called at the Age Herald office last night to make the statement that in the future all cases of smallpox, if any, would be removed no matter where found and if necessary in defiance of all contemplated injunc- tions.
 Dr. Mcdonald also stated that if it was thus necessary to protect the health of the citizens this action would be taken at the point of shot guns Speaking for the board of health pr. Mcdonald said that 1t was the duty of the city to sse that this ordinance was rigidly enforced. The doctor said further that in one case guns had been resortsd to to prevent the board of health from removing one patient to the pest house, and so long as that policy had been resorted to 1t could only be met by the board of hsalth by applying similar means. ''It is hoped, the doctor continued, that this will not be necessary, but the board of health, taking the past refusal as an index to what might occur in the future, had prepared to meet all emergencies"
 While in the office Dr. Mcdonald called up by telephone pr. Due, whom he said authorized the statement to be. made that all patients would be removed.

Returning the Money

The county commissioners, in accord ance with the recent decision of Supreme Court Judge Brickle, yesterday decided to return the county's share of tha mer- chant tax. The decision was. that, as far as county was concerned, it was un- constitutional and that the money could not be retained. The state auditor is said to have refused to adviss as to how to proceed in the matter on account of the vagueness of the wording of the de- cision. The checks were made out yes- terday for the return of the money to the several merchants. It will be remem- bered that a test case was made by the Alice Carpet company.

Bessemer, Ala, Aug. 1S.-(SpeclaL)-A letter from Secretary Tubb, of the Retail Clerks Union, objects to several things contained in The Age-H -Herald's Besse- mer correspondence a few days ago.
