washington, Sept. 6.-The marine
hospital service authorities who are in
vestlgating the fever at Ocean Springs.
Mlss.,do not think it yellow fever but
conclusive information is not yet at
hand. Surgeon General Wyman is alb
sent from the city. He has been attend
ing the British Medical Association
meeting and is now at Vineyard Haven
on his way back. During his absence
Surgeon Bailbache is in charge. The
cases at Ocean Springs were first called
to the attention of Dr. Bailbache. last
Friday in a telegram from Assistant
Surgeon Wasdin, who is stationed at
Mobile. asking permission to accom-
pany the state board of health to Ocean
Springs to investigate the fever. Dr.
Wasdin was directed to proceed. Yes
terday morning he telegraphed as fol-
lows:
'Of 500 or GOO cases here have seen
five: an endemic infection, spread by
carriage, mostly white, nom paroxys-
NAL. disproportionate in pulse, prostra-
ton. Insisted on and made first au-
topsy on adult of GO. said TO be typi-
cal case of fever. Matter under adj
visement. Drs. Oliphant, president
Louisiana state board of health, Horal-
son. Saunders and others will be here
later
copy of this telegram was trans
mitted to Surgeon General Wyman at
Vineyard Haven and he Immediately
requested DIR. John Guiteras, professor
of the University of Pennsylvania, to
proceed to Ocean Springs. DR.. Guiteras
was formerly in the marine hospital
service and is the acknowledged au-
thority on fevers in this country.
DR.. Bailbacke also wired DIR. Wasdin
to inquire into the result of the autopsy
and consultation. to give the number of
the inhabitants of Ocean Springs ami
the number of fatalities. Dr.. Wasdin
replied that the population of Ocean
Springs, which is summer resort on
the Gulf coast near Biloxi. was about
1900 in winter and 5000 in summer He
also reported the existence of pasmodi-
um of malaria, a condition of the blood
said never to be present in yellow fever
cases. No further report has been re-
ceived although one is expected. today.
DR.. Bailbache says that Dr. Wasdia
is making a archaeological investiga-
ton to determine the existence of yell
lieves the disease. so far as his inform
alton goes, is dengue or bone break
fever In support of this he points TO
DR.. Wasdin's report that the fever is
endemic not epidemic and that the
fatalities have been few, whereas yell
low fever is fatal in majority of
cases. This latter he considers the
strongest evidence that the disease is
not yellow fever
The existence of the pasmodium Of
malaria is another strong evidence
against the yellow fever theory. About
10 days ago he says the state board OF
health of Mississippi investigated the
fever and pronounced it dengue If 1t
should however. prove to be yellow
fever, DR.. Bailbache says the lateness
of the season will materially aid the
in keeping it confined to the
locality in which it has broken out anl
