This statement was made yesterday BY Or.
Doty, Health oficer Of the Port, regarding the
correspondence between DR.. Walter Wyman Of

the United States Consul 1T SaSuA La Grande,
relative TO the alleged use Of sugar warehouses
for military hospitals:
The telegram from Mr.. Baker does not con-
tain sufficient information to fully explain the
case II is not probable that q warehouse would
be used at the came time for the storage Of sugar
and the reception OF the sick. II q dismanted
warehouse is now being used As q military hoe
pital, it il plain that there Is no danger. at least
none until sugar In again stored there. II that
Is contemplated In the future, 1t Is the duty Of
our Consular officers at that place to keep the
matter under careful observation and report TO
the home once il this should take place. A
military hospital Is not quite the place for the
storage OF sugar or any other product unless 1t
could be first properly disintected-
sugar Is not regarded as . good medium for
the propagation Of germs II has been proven
80 in experiments made with the cholera bacil-
lus; and although the specific organism OF yell
low fever has not yet been found it would prob
ably thrive no better in sugar than would the
cholera germ With all the sugar that has been
shipped from ports and places where yellow
fever existed and where NO care was exercised
in handling, we have NO evidence that any in
lection has ever been conveyed to those working
in sugar houses or At any other place where
sugar vas received. / therefore believe there II
very little danger Of sugar acting as q medium
OF contaEion in yellow fever.
The proper way TO treat cases Of this kind Ii
to have careful inspections made by our repre-
sentatives AZ infected ports OF warehouses. fac

The Church Army Commission declares that
the stories of the collapse and dissolution of the
