FEVER AT GALVESTON.
There Can No Longer Be Any Doubt
Yellow Jack Has a Foothoid
in Texas

GALVESTON, TEX, Oct. 10.-Before a
meeting OF the Galveston Board of Health
to-day DR.. Gulteras made the following
statement:
L have reTorted to Surgeon-General
Wyman and com mmunicated to Health Or
ficer Fisher, County Physician Warfield
and acting Mayor Skinner that there are
five cases of yellow fever here and three
cases that have recovered from the
disease. There is no doubt in my mind
as 10 the correctness of my diagnosis. l
have b en- very careful and have made no
statement as to any case without close
personal examination. The cases are
scattered and seem TO have no connection.
They appear 10 have developed in quite
confusing way and are mixed with dengue
fever. There is one at Sealy Hospital
have reported two at ST. Mary's Inirmary,
but find that in one a. the infrmary l was
mistaken. l misunderstood the statement
of the attending physician as to the pres
ence of albumen in the urine. Finding
there is no albumen l alter my diagno nosis
as to that case. The other case in the in
fimary is distinctly yellow fever"
According to this statement there are
four cases of yellow fever, as the case in
which DR.. G uiteras was mistaken was one
of the five mentioned in the foregoing
statement.
A type of dengEs fever has existed st
Galveston for the past sixty days and
there have been 5000 cases of dengue and
not single death.
A meeting of citizens of Galveston has
been called for Monday morning for the
purpose of asking DR.. Wyman TO keep
Dr. Guiteras here until he has had time
10 report fully on all suspicious cases.
Galveston was somewhat excited Satur-
day night. but to-day the city was quiet.
The Santa Fe is the only road open. Ali
other roads were cut off last night before
any one could get out of town. The Santa
Fe took out seventy five persons last
night and 1l8 departed on to-day's train.
Forty people have left by boat for Bay
shore points. This constitutes the total
hegira from here.
The citizens claim if these four cases
are yellow fever then thousands OF citi-
zens have had it. as they have had similar
sickness.

In most of these years the fever became
epidemic in July or early in August and
consumed most OF the available material
before October came. 1t is we'll recog-
nlzed that the percentage of deaths or
even attacks is very small among the ma
tiyes OF the city or persons from the warm
climates, who are more or less acclimated.
The great mortality is among the new
corners and persons from the higher lati.
tudes, and as the number of these in the
city Is limited the course of the disease is
checked for lack of susceptible victims
In lS41 out of 1900 dea hs there were but
live natives, and in 1S43 out of 692 but two
were natives. And so In all the years the
proportion of natives has been iusigniti-
cant. As rule those of debauched habits
OF life 60 first and the men before the
women in the proportion of Ten to one.
In the present case the municipal, State
and national boards of health are working
In most hearty accord, and though they
have TO contend with a very dangerous
and reprehensible practice on the part of
many OF the reople an OF the physicians
oil the city also. of conceaIing the exist
ence of new fever cases until the infec ion
has time TO spread afresh, they are very
prompt and untiring in their efforts to
Isolate and stamp out the germs and pan-
ism the offenders.
Well it is for New Orleans that her sani-
tary condition has been so much i'm proved
OF late years. Had the same conditions
OF uncleanliness and unhealthiness pre-
vailed when the first case appeared last
month as existed in 1873 the number of
cases and the percentage of deaths would
have been lar greater, as the range of the
disease is much greater. Sull, it is bad
enough vet. The city is on very low
ground and has to be protected by leyees
from both the lake and the river. From
January to June the water in the latter is
above the level OF the streets. " ater is
found everywhere at depth of a couple
OF feet. Cisterns furnish the drinking
water and there is no underground drain
age, the canals and bayous receivir most
of the sewage anu flowing right through
popuioGs districts.
Betterment OF this state of affairs is,
from the nature of the ground and sur
roundings, largely impossible, but as to
filth generally, one OF the most i'm portant
and able aids to disease, the condition has
been greatly improved and without stint
of expense.

DIPLOMATIC CONTROVERSY,
Friction Between This Country and
Nicaragua May Result From the
Granting of Concession.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 10.-A Wash
ington special to the Herald says: An
other diplomatic controversy between the
United States and Nicaragua is impending
as result of the action OF Nicaragua IN
granting a concession to an English cor
poration, which, it is believed, conflicts
with that given to the Maritime Canal
Company OF New York.
Fearing injury to the rights of the
American corporation, the State Depart-
ment recently cabied to Minister Baker,
at Managua, directing him to examine
the concession and IN case it conflicted
with that of the canal company 10 enter a
strong protest.
The result of Mr.. Bakers examination
is not known to the department, which is
awaiting with some eagerness the receipt
of copy of the concession. copy has
reached Washington, however. and l have
it in my possession.
The most important feature of the con.
tract between the English corporation
known as the Atlas Steamship Company
ana the Nicaraguan Government, next 10
that which confers exclusive navigation
rights upon the company, is that which
disclaims any intention to conflict with
the canal commission.
This concession" the contract reads
twill not be an obstacle in the way of con-
tracts which the Government has relative
to the opening of the interoceanic canal
along the same line, nor will it affect the
contract for the same which mas been
made"
In consideration of the great expenses
to which the company Will be subject he
Government gives it the exclusive right
of steam navigation in Silico Lagoon for
thirty years from the final approval of this
contract and the exclusive right for the
same time of constructing tramways and
railroads along the line and at the best
places to avoid obstacles in the river San
Juan"
Apparently this section conflicts with
the concessions awarded to the Maritime
Canal Company, which provide that 1.-THE
company shall have the right to construct
and operate a railway along the whole ex-
tent of the canal. or those parts of the
same that may be considered convenient
for the better service and operation of the
said works.
The authorities believe the Atlas Com.
pany's concession conflicts just as much
with that belonging 10 the Maritime Canal
Company as did Mr.. Peila's, and they
therefore intend to urge that the new con-
cesslon be abrogaled.

Special Dispatch to THE CALL

NEW YORK, n. Y, Oct. 10.-A large
Croton water main burst early this morn
ing at the corner of Madison avenue and
orty-eighth street, the heart of The fash
ionable district, and wrought such havoc
with property that not even partial cal
culation can be made OF the financial
damage at present. For blocks around
scarcely building escaped injury by rea-
son of the volume of water poured into
the street, cellars and easements. The
loss will reach well into the thousands.
The damage by water extends as fal
west as Sixth avenue and as far east as
First avenue. The sewers were choked by
the great rush OF water, and then the flood
rose in the streets. The big water main
was probably cracked by blast which
was fired in sewer excavation late Satur-
day afternoon. Then in the nighttime
when the strain on the pipe was greatest,
it gave way and the food followed.
The breaking of a four-foot pipe was an
nounced by rumbling noise, which
awakened the people in the immediate
vicinity. Looking out of their windows
they saw great geyser in the middle oi
the avenue shooting a vast volume ol
water into the air, column so nigh that
it reached almost to the top of the electric
light pole on the corner. Those who had
no view OF the fountain heard q mighty
rush OF water.
For five hours this column shot into the
air before il was shut off at it's source. and
in that time ten million gallons of water
had run down the avenue and side sire et 9.

COVERS A LARGE AREA.
Fight Against the Fever In New
Orleans Must Be Kept Up Until
Frost Appears.

The distribution of yellow fever cases in
New Orleans is more widespread this time
than at any previous visitation. The foci
OF inspection extend from Carrollton, in
the upper part of the city, to Jackson
Barracks below. q distance along the
river of over twelve miles, and back from
the river to depth oil from three to four
miles. Yet with it all the disease has bee n
held under quite good control, and may
hardly said to be epidemic, and with
the intelligent, untiring and masterfuI
fight being made against it by the health
authorities it may not become so at all.
No one can tell, however, what the NOR
row may bring forth. The only certain
relief from danger is the frost, which,
though due in most of the other infected
localities within the next three or four
weeks, may not bless New Orleans with its
presence for sixty days or more.
The lateness in the time of the fever's
first appearance, September 6, of course
limits Its career to ole-half of tue season
in which the record of previous years
shows to have been most destruc-
tive, but that is no guarantee that the
worst is not yet to come. In the great
epidemic of 1858. which, though there
were two deaths IN June, may be said TO
have begun in July. when there were 132
deaths, August had 1l40, September 2-04
October l137 and November 224 with five
tapping over inlo Decem ber.
In the visitation OF 1867, which tegan in
July and became epides mic IN August,
when there were 255 deaths, October had
1l72, second to Septem ber with 1887; No
vember l03 and December 26. and i'll 1873
July bad 90 deaths, August 974 Septem-
ber 1888 and October was second with

prepared for issue today also provides for
the necc -sary details for the inspection.
Provision is made for an inspection at
every place where naval militia organiZa
ton exists. Generally the officers detailed
for this service are those connected with
