Prompt Measures Being Taken to
Stamp Out the Disease.
Washington, June 1O.-There was
some apprehension here over the out
break of seven cases of yellow fever at
McHenry, Miss. and steps have been
taken, not only to check the spread Of
the fever from McIIenry, but with Il
view to preventing any possibility of an
epidemic in the south. Surgeon Wyman,
of the Marine hospital, has received a
dispatch from Surgeon Murray, of that
service, confirming the Associated Press
report. DIR. r. ID. Geddings, of the
Marine hospital service, now stationed
ut Tampa, was ordered to-day to pro
ceed directly to Camp McHenry and
take charge Of Camp Fontainebleau, the
yellow fever camp put in operation dur
ing the fever last year, and which is
now in readiness for the present eases.
Surgeon Murray telegraphed that he had
gone to McHenry. and confirmed the
diagnosis made by the State authorities.
The town is now guarded and Marine
Hospital Surgeon Carter, is already
there with Surgeon Murray. and the
Federal and State authorities are CO.
operating.
The danger is not so much feared at
McHenry as the probability of it's break
ing out ut other points. McHenry is n
small place, isolated. and there is little
danger of its spreading outside the linn
its there. But the fever cases are Off
cially believed to be due to germs that
came to McHenry last season, when the
fever was much in evidence In that sec
ton.
Surgeon General Wyman said to-day:
Ordinarily, if we had not been on the
lookout. those cases might have been
progressing for long period without
being recognized. and the diagnosis
might have been disputed. But there is
hope now in view of their prompt dis
covery. that the spread will be prevent
ed. In several places last simmer the
fever was quickly recognized, and it did
not spread, attributable to the prompt
preventive measures adopted.
we are keeping close watch. not
only ut McIIenry. but elsewhere"

Intense excitement was caused at
Fort Monroe last night, shortly after 8
o'clock, by Il dispatch received from the

that Spanish warships were lurking in
that vicinity.
y short while later a message was re-
ceiycd from Washington, instructing the
commandant of the fort to be on the
alert. Reports rs to the number of ships
seen were conflicting. A lieutenant who
was seen after midnight. said that he
had been informed that Il Spanish battle
ship two cruisers and torpedo boat had
been caught under the searchlight at
Cape Henry, steaming from a nOrtherly
direction.
As soon as it was reported that the

waters every few minutes.
In the fort, ammunition was hurried
to the big guns, and the troops ordered
to their posts. Some of the officers were
with their families at the hotels, and
buglers were dispatched for them. The
men scurried out of the hotels half
dressed. and ran to the fort.
