A NARROWING STORY.
Afoat In a Steamer with Yellow
Jack
Disguised as Tropical Dysentery-The Fee
yer Spreads and Results in Two or Three
Funerals Daily-The Band Playes
While Death Does Its Work.

NEW YORK, July 3.-Passengers who
arrived here last night on the steam
ship Alliance tell a narrowing story of
their experience aboard the Pacific
mail steamer City of Para, which left
Panama for San Francisco May % last.
1t seems hat two days after leaving
the isthmus yellow fever broke out
among the crew and passengers on the
Pacific liner, which caused a panic
on board and resulted in the
death of the commander of the
vessel, Capt. Martensen. Three-fourths
of the passengers, it is said, were at
tackled by the disease, and at least a
dozen of them found watery graves.
When the vessel finally reached San
Francisco the facts of the terrible voy-
age were suppressed, and the sickness
and deaths were attributed to tropical
dysentery. But the passengers who
came here last night say hat the
symptoms were plainly those of yellow
fever.
The disease was raging on the 18TH
mus, but when the passengers went on
board the City of Para they were all
told by the officers that they need have
no fear. There was no effort at fumiga-
ton, and when Mrs. Capt. Mitchell,
the wife of an Englishman command
ing one of the vessels of the Gillian
line, appeared on the City of Para
heavily yelled there was no uneasiness.
Three days out she died from the So
called tropical dysentery," she was
buried at sea, and the next to be taken
down was Capt. Martensen.
Before he died the fever had spread
all over the ship. In first cabin and
Storage alike the yellow death dealer
went, and how many were Frustrated
will probably never be known. The
officers suppressed every scrap of news
they could and DIR. REM insisted on
his original diagnosis.
At Punta Arenas, the Echeveria fam
lily, one Of the richest in Costa Rica,
took passage on the City of Para, not
knowing that Yellow Jack was raging
voyage up the coast. There were two
or three funerals a day and those who
were not affected were panic stricken.
After much pleading a number of
passengers were put ashore at Corinta
and San Jose de Guatemala. 1t is
alleged that the officers of the vessel
supplied the passengers with spoiled
meat, and this is believed to have
added to the yellow fever spread.
At San Salvador a band came aboard,
and while the passengers were sick
and dying the musicians gave fve-hour
concerts daily.

AN IMPORTANT ARRANGEMENT.
The United States and Mexico to Exchange,
Weather Bureau Reports.

The United States and Mexico to Exchange,
Weather Bureau Reports.
WASHINGTON, July Am important
arrangement has been completed be-
tween the United States and Mexico.
for an exchange of weather bureau re-
ports. The United States is interested
in securing information of storms that
com into this country through Mex
leo, and Mexico wants to know about
low temperatures working toward
them. An effort will now be made
to secure some arrangement by which
information of storms in the west
Indies can be secured. The bureau
now has reports at irregular times from
the West Indies, where there are nine
meteorological stations. But it is de-
sired to have a daily Geographic report
such as is received in this country.
The West India service would cost
about $4,000 per annum. The
Mexican service is secured with a cost.
of not over $500 and possibly not more
than $500 per annum.
The Mexican system will reach sta
lions over the whole region of the
country covered by the Mexican tele-
graphic service, with at least one sta
ton in Lower California, six on the
Mexican gulf coast and possibly six on
the Pacific coast. These reports will be
delivered by Mexico free to this country
in exchange for which the United States
service will twice a day deliver to Mex
leo the reports received from stations
in the southern half of California.
Arizona, New Mexico and the gulf
states. The arrangement with Mexico.
is similar to that now in operation be-
tween Canada and the United State.
