YELLOW FEVER ON BOARD.
Pacific Nail Steamer City of Para Had
Horrible Voyage.

New York, July 2.-Passengers who ar
rived here tonight on the Alliance tell a
narrowing story of their experience aboard
the Pacific Mail steamer City OF Para,
which loft Panama for San Francisco on
May 23d last.
1t seems that two days after clearing The
isthIEus, yellow fever broke out among tho
crow and passengers of the Pacific liner,
which caused a panic on board, which re-
suited in the death of the commander OF the
vessel. Captain AIarteI sen.
Three-fourths of the passengers, 1t is said.
were attacked by the disease. ana 1T least
q dozen OF them found watcry graves.
When the vessel finally reached San Fran
cisco the facts OF the terrible voyage Were
suppressed, and the sickness and deaths
were attributed TO tropical dysentery. Eut
the passengers who came here tonight say
that The symptoms were plainly those of
yellow foyer.
There was no effort at fumlgation, and
when Mrs. Captain Mitchell the wife OF
an Engiishman commanding one of the
vessels of the CHILEAN line appeared on
the city Of Para heavily yelled there was
no uncasiness. Three days out she died
from the so-caied tropical dysentery."
She was buried at sea. and the next to be
taken down was Captain Mart"nscn.
Before he died the fever had spread ali
ever the ship. In frst-class cabin and seer
age alike the yellow death dealer went
and how many were prcstrated Will prob
ably never be known. The officers sup
pressed every scrap Of news they could
and Dr. REM insisted on his original di-
agnosis.
At Punta Areneas the Echvcria family.
one OF the richest in Costa Rica, took pas
sage on the City of Para, not knowing
that yellow Jack was raging on board.
The vessel proceeded on its voyage. Up
the coast there were two or three funerals
a day and those who were not affected
were panic stricken.
After much pleading n number of p3ssen-
gers were put ashore at COrinto and San
lose de Guatemala. II Is alleged that the
officers of the vessel supplied the .passen-
gers with spoiled meat aad this is believed

At San Salvador a band came aboard
and while the passengers were sick and
dying the musicians gave five hour con-
corts daily.
