TERROR OVER THE PLAGUE.
vienna Fears a Spread of the
Dreaded Bubonic.

London, Get, 24.--The outbreak of bu-
bcnic plague at Vienna, due to the exper
iments in Professor Nathnagei's bacteri-
ological establishment in the cultivation
of the phgse bicill,l, mas spread terror
at the Austrian capital. Five cases in ad-
dition to that of the late Herr Barische,
the assistant in the establishment, who
coutraeted, the bubonic plague while cul.
tivltihg the bacillus, have now occurred,
pr, sIue1er, who attended Herr Bar
iscbe4and who was considered an author
.ityson the Rlague, having been to Bombay
for the purpose OF studying il on the spot
and he .sutvived all .he. dangers there.
Extraordinary precau.i .Es have now been
taken to prevent an epidemic. The plague
patients lie in an isolated building at
tended by Dr. Pooch, volunteer physi.
clan, and by sisters Of charity.
Every person who had come in contact
with Herr Barische, principally the hos
pital attendants, has been isolated. Some
o. them resisted and others tried to ESCAPE
but were captured and all were locked up,
IL is feared, however, that the precautions
We're taken to late. Herr Barische was
i'll for three days before he saw a doctor,
during which time he lived with his witc
and visited wine shops. The wife, who
has now developed suspicious symptoms,
visited friends. rode in public omnibuscs
and came in contact with dozens OF per
sons at her husbands funeral.
y painful feature Of the Viennese sit
uation is the INSCRIPTIONS attitude of the
anti semitic newspapers which are accus-
ing the Jewish doctors of bringing the
plague to Vienna. 1t is apparent that
this appeal to the worst passions of the
mob will lead to plague riots against the
jew. il the disease spreads.

in its operations in the West Indies for
about two months prior to the destruction
of Cerveras ships on July 3.-It consists
largely of official dispatches and the move
n,emts OF the fleet, with explanations and
comment by the admiral.
The report is dated August 3, on the

statement of the determination reached
by the navy department to send squad

pose OF observation, because Of iniollna.

Bombardmenf Of san Juan.

\ consultation was held on board the
liagship, and the admiral says that he
decided to stand on toward the east as far
as San Juan, Puerto Rico, on the chance
of finding the Spanish squadron in that
port, where, il they were not successful
in destroying it, il could be at least
blocfaded and held, The squadron arrived
off San Juan on the morning OF the 18th,
and the bombardment of the place en-
sued. Regarding his action at this place,
the admiral says
"lt was clear to my mind That the
squadron would not have any great diff.
Gully in forcing the surrender Of the
place, but the kict that we should be held
several days in completing arrangements
for holding it, that part Of our force
would have to be left to await the arrival
OF troops TO garrison il; that the move
merits OF the Spanish squadron, our main
objective, were still unknown; that the
lying squadron was still north and not in
a position to render any aid; that lia.
vana, Cevera's natural objective, was
thus open to entry by such a force as his,
while We were 1000 miles distant, made
our immediate movement toward Havana
imperative. thus reluctantly gave up
the project against San Juan and stood
westward for Havana"
