No Port Open to the Goats Which BlancO
Repulsed from Havana
NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 13.-The lower Louisiana
quarantine station is overrun with goats as the
result Of the present yellow fever scare in the
South and the many guarantees that have
come from it. Never, perhaps, have goats had
a more remarkable experience than these.
They have travelled several thousand miles in
the last few months. and have been rejected.
repudiated and banished at every point to
which they have gone. until finally the entire
lot was landed on the narrow spit Of land where
the quarantine station is located. and where
there is scarcely vegetation enough for a kid.
much less for 1000 goats.
An enterprisinR Texan conceived tho idea
some months ago that the hungry people OF
Havana. and especially the reeoncentrados
who. according to all accounts. had not had
meat to eat since the war and the blockade be-
gan. would welcome goat meat. IL they could
not get beef and mutton. and goats being cheap.
he bought up q shipload Of them In western
Texas and sent them to New Orleans for ship
ment to Cuba. The Sun has already told the
story of the cargo. When II reached Havana on
the Danish steamer Tyr It was found that there

loss TO their owner. The entire lot, therefore.
after making the trip to Havana and spend

came back to New Orleans.
New Orleans. however. refused the animals.
as Havana had done. but for an entirely dif-
ferent reason. Yellow fever was prevalent in
the Cuban city. It was said and the goats might

undergoing e thorough distinction: When

no provision for disinfecting animals, for ami

goats objected 70 %splphuriSinG them. fearing
deemed best to land the animals at the quar-.
antine station. where they could stay until all
danger from the germs was over. Unfortunately
since then, the fever has made its appearance
in New Orleans. Texas refuses to accept the
goats or, anything else from this city, on any
terms. Misslsslnpi. and Alabama will receive
them. but only on the, condition that they shall

ment. which brings back the original difficulty
that yod cannot d!sinfect goats. The conse-
luence Is that the goats cannot be moved.

The dog suddenly left him.. and the next mo-
ment Johnny heard him fighting with some
large wild animal. II was after sunset and
dark in tho woods. but the boy was plucky and
ran in to see what tho trouble was. He found
that the dog hal Just killed a bear cub. Before
he could do anything with the cub the old she
