DR.. Race, city ply stefan, who had de-
clared that the Jusrez authorities were
not complying with their agreement
regarding sanitary regulations to
stamp out smallpox across the river.
He then asked DR.. Race to make such
statements as he desired.
DR.. Race took the floor and said:
II have been waiting on a case of
smallpox on the other side of the river
and IL is now at its worst stage. Yes
terday when 1 visited my patient
| noticed that the card had been taken
down from the house. The people at
the house said they knew nothing
about its removal and did not know it
was down.
81 came back to Ell Paso and in con-
versing with Mexican friend who re-
sides in Juarez was told by him that
the cards had been mysteriously re-
moved from all the houses on the
previous night.
81 questioned DR.. Samaniego in
regard to this state of affairs and he
said he didn't know anything about 1t:
why the cards had been removed, nor
who bad removed them. I told Dr.
Samaniego that that wouldn't do"
DR.. Vilas:-Did the Juarez board of
health remove the cards or some one
else?
DR.. Race:-I do not know.
DR.. Vilas:-Yandell, you said you
were going over to Juarez to investi-
gate the smallpox conditions; have
you been?
DR.. Yandell replied that he had
not.
DR.. Race complained that his as
sistants were constantly finding Mex
leans in Ell PasO who were recovering
from smallpox. They had evidently
had the disease on the other side of
the river. Other instances were cited
to show that Juarez served as q refuge
for Mexicans in this city afflicted with
smallpox, who wanted to escape the FL
PasO pest house.
AN EARNEST PROTEST.
DR.. Villas introduced DIR. Alexander
of JuareZ who delivered brief address
protesting against the quarantine. He
said:
81 have done my level best to pre-
vent the introduction of contagious
diseases into Ell Paso from Mexico.
The Mexicens themselves are more
than anxious to do all in their power
to stamp out the disease in Juarez
"Many of them look on the cards as
ornaments and remove them within
doors. l myself have procured per-
mission from the jefe politico to cor
raj smallpox cases for fifty miles below
Juarez, to prevent them coming to the
border. We have done all we could
and ought to receive some consider

the authorities of Jusrez doing?

DR.. Villas: Are they quarantining
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1898-12-29

Mr.. Sanchez was down with the small
pox and 90 soon as the officers we're
informed of this fact, steps were taken
yesterday morning to remove him and
his wife to the pest house; but due to
his weak condition and the insufficient
means furnished for his conveyance,
and above all possibly on account OF ex-
acting that his wife should accompany
him, thus leaving their children uncar-
ed for, be refused to leave.
It is evident that this Ia not the first
instance presented to the officers for
prudent discrimination, as also 1t
should not create establishment that
Sanchez should refuse to expose him
self to great danger. by vacating his
house, consider his delicate state OF
health; but what does draw attention
is the fact that the officers, instead OF
using all lawful means in their power
to enforce his removal TO the pest
house, imprisoned him and his wife,
numerically removed the children,
leaving them to the mercy OF the street
and neigh bors.
The above occurred yesterd AZ morn
ing at about 10 o'clock and up ~ his

orously isolated, not even able to OBJ

ing my having applied to the mayor OF
the city for relief for the unfOrtunates
and his assurances of prompt action in
the premises.
Upon taking the liberty Of calling
your attention to the above facts, 1
also deem it my duty to address you,
as I have the honor to do at present,
in the name of civilization and justice.
to take such steps as lie within your
power to actively and vigorously sup
press such abuses and excuses. / am,
Dear Sir, Your obedient servant,

| munity. 1 have found it impossible to

been prevalent here. but it is impos-
s1ble to learn from official sources how
many cases and how many deaths have
occurred. DR.. Samauiego has the con =
cession for the bull fighting and gambl-
d ing operated tha sa.so In this city city
sports and games are pstro-
nized largely by Americans who come
over the river from Ell Paso. Tex. This
is probably the reason why it Is i'm
possible to get any smallpox informa-
ton from the board of health.
During the past two months there
has been no water in the Rio Grande,
Juarez visited constantly one side and
the other. In Ell Paso thirty cases of
smallpox have been reported since
August, and it is quite probable as
many or more have existed in Ciudad
Juarez. 1t is estimated that about 5000
Mexicans of the peon class reside in Ell
Paso, Texas, along the river front. The
total popul alton of Juarez is 5000 per-
sons. The Mexicans of the lower class
es in Juarez are in better condition and
live in better houses than those located
in Ell Paso. In the latter place the
huts of the Mexicans are hud-
died together, and the COM
mon laws of sanitation are un-
known. Ell Paso authorities have
discussed the question of quarantine
against Ciudad Juarez, while the Jua-
rez officials claim that the smallpox
originates in Ell Paso. The boards of
health for the two communities have
agreed upon a thorough investigation
of the prevailing conditions and upon
the isolation and quarantine of pre-
misses where the disease might be
found.
"There is no system of sewerage in
Juarez, the natives don't even use cess
pools. Sanitation as applied in cities
and towns of the United States is I'm
known here, but in spite of this the
general health of the community is
excellent. The altitude and the dry,
pure air are an Offset to lack OF
drainage and the absence of cesspools.
A community In this climate can be
healthy in spite of ITSELF"

I don't know.
The visiting physician at this juno
ton slightly warmed up "I'll ask, "
said he, what your people have done
to keep the disease from being brought
in from New Mexico? I have here q
statement showing that more than 400
cases have existed In that section dur
ing the year.
'Why haven't you kept those people
out? Why haven't you met the trains
and kept them away from this town?
but what can 1 do for New Mexico. ]
do not care if my remarks are publish
ed, am wiling to proclaim these
things from the housetops.
DR.. Alexander bitterly opposed the
quarantine. He suggested that he
would get an Office up town and take
policemen and make q house to house
canvass inc quest of smallpox cases.
DR.. Race asserted that such q step
would be of no benefit; he declared that
the only way to prevent the disease
from spreading in Ell Paso was to pre-
vent the inhabitants of this city and
Juarez from intermingling indiscrim1-
nately.
I'VE should quarantine, said he,
''and it would teach them that we
mean business"
G. r. Morehead said that the board
had agreed to take no action until the
Juarez authorities had been notified to
be present. DR.. Villas declared that
the board must fulfill this agreement
before acting and that 1t was the only
just and proper thing to do. The
BOARD then adjourned until p. m. to-
day.
Before disbanding Judge Buckler
requested the members to remain
few minutes. Then turning to the re-
porters he told them they were ex-
cused. After they had Withdrawn

I'd. Notwithstanding this happened
at q short distance from the dwelling
of the injured party, 1t is not true that
he used violence or any weapon against
his aggressors, who on their part abus-
ed him unusually, pushing him, using
abusive and obscene language and also
compelling him to lead them inside of
his house for the purpose of examining
his family, notwithstanding his assur-
ances that they were already vaccinat-
ed; and finally they led him off to the
police station without considering the
fact that his store WAS left alone, which
in addition to his personal injuries
might have caused him other grave
material losses.
