CAUSE OF YELLOW FEVER
DR.. Edwin Klebs, of Chicago
Makes Valuable Discovery.
After a Series of Experiments lie Sue
ceeds In IsOIa ting the AmOeba
VIII Continue His
Research.

DR.. Edwin Klebs, professor of pa
thology and bacteriology in the post
graduate medical school at Chicago,
las discovered the cause of yellow fe.
yer. As result of a series Of expert.
ments extending over two months he
has isolated the amoeba, which is with
out doubt responsible for the disease,
and he has been able to trace its devel.
opments through a number of stages
in the various organs of the body.
The results obtained by Prof. Klebl
are looked upon as very valuable
achievements of scientific pathology,
as the yellow fever germs have been
sought for by many persons and will
great eagerness, Nothing has yet been
done In the culture Of the germs and no
destructive drug has been found, but
enough is known to make it certain
chat yellow fever can only be acquired
where the germs are taken into the
stomach with food and drink, and that
in consequence complete disinfection
Of food is a sure preventive of the dis
ease.
Prof Klebs made his experiments or
the stomach, duodenum and liver of two
patients who had died of the fever in
Mobile. The material was sent him by
Dr. Herman Mohr of that city, The
professor first sought for the bacilli
known as Lanarelli's and Sternberg's,
but found no trace Of them at all. He
then went to work on his own account,
and by the aid of special dye com.
posed of fuchsin, methylene blue and
methyl green he succeeded in isolating
the desired germs.
The germ is not Il bacillus but RI
amoeba. II causes inflammation of tho
stomach when swallowed, and then in
the duodenum II assumes true sporu.
ating form, appearing here much like a
blackberry. From there it migrates to
the liver, where it appears as large
structureless body about twice the size
of the red blood corpuscle. Its effect Is
a rapid degeneration of the liver cells.
While Prof. Klebs is confident he has
obtained the yellow fever germ, he will
not make any scientific claim in this
direction until he has been able to ob.
tain live germs and make cultures and
animal experiments with them. This
he will do as soon as the opportunity
arrives. and possibly he will make a
"trip to South America to secure better
material.
Prof. Klebs is well known among
scientific men for his discovery of the
diphtheria bacillus, known rs the Klebs.
oefl]er bacillus. In his earlier days he
also discovered the malaria germ. He
has been in this country about two
wears. and was previously professor Mt
the University of Zurich He is the
author Of several Of the most mpor-
tant pathological works in existence,
and one of his reasons for coming to
this country was that he might get bet.

Cuban Autonomy.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Autonomy,
it seems, is to have further trial, if the
president listens to the cabinet. Min
ister Polo appears to have won re-
spite. For two hours yesterday the
cabinet discussed the Cuban question
as never before. The president
brought forward the matter, and asked
for the views of his advisers ON the i'm.
mediate course of the administration.
Details of what passed show that the
inclination of most of the presidents
advisers is to listen to the latest prop.
osition made by Senior Polo. This
proposition has not been put in def
mite and formal terms AS advanced
by the minister in conversation, it is
that Spain shall turn Cuba over to the
Cubans in all but name. The flag shall
continue to fly and Spanish authority
shall be recognized, but autonomy shall
be complete. Secretary Alger used the
statements of Senator Proctor to point
his argument that it was the duty of
the United States to interfere and put
an end to the atrocities, but he was
met with the argument that war be.

would only have the effect to add to
