MYSTERIOUS DISEASE IN FRISCO.
A Chinese Died in Chinatown With Symp-
toms Resembling the Bubonic Plague.

A Chinese Died in Chinatown With Symp-
toms Resembling the Bubonic Plague.
SAN Francisco. The board of health
has been taking vigorous precautions
to prevent the spread of mysterious
disease in Chinatown. A few days
ago Chinese died of disease which
was said to resemble the Bubonic
plague. The matter was reported to
the board of health, and Chinatown
was searched for further cases. None
were found. DR.. Roseau, quarantine
officer at this port, and who is familiar
with the Bubonic plague, has investi
gated the case, and says that in his
opinion it is not the Bubonic plague.
Other members of the board, however,
were of q different opinion, and, while
unwilling to say that there was any
serious cause for alarm, insisted that
all necessary precautions be taken.
At the health office Saturday it was
stated that the suspicious case had
turned out to be one of death from
nephritis and there are no reasons for
believing that the Bubonic plague has
not entered the city.

HOBSON GIVES 1T UP.
He Found the Wreck of the Maria Tereso
Hopeless and Has Returned.

Constructor Hobson arrived in
Washington Saturday from Norfolk,
and came directly to the navy depart
ment. He has just returned from his
trip on the Vulcan to Cat island, the
scene of the casting away of the Maria
Teresa He brought with him the re-
port of Captain McCalla, who was in
charge of the expedition on the Vul-
can to endeavor to save the vessel.
The report is merely an elaboration of
the history Of the journey and its re-
suits, already contained in the tele-
graph report to the department, and
where it touches, upon the present
condition of the Teresa it makes the
wreck appear even more hopeless
than Captain McCalla's telegram.
And this statement was strongly rein
forced by Constructor Hobson's verbal
report to Acting Secretary Allen.
