WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Archie S. Mil
Ter. civil engineer, aged thirty-two years
SINGLE died in hotel in this city yester-
day afternoon from what the physicians
have pronounced to be yellow fever. He
had been in Washington two days, having
come from New York city, in which city
he arrived Monday from Nicaragua, where
he had been since last April. He left there
about two weeks ago on a steamer bound
for New York. but which stopped at Port
Linon, Costa Rica, an infected port Mil
ler's Whereabouts from the time Of his ar
rival in New York until the time of his
registration at the hotel here on Wednes-
day morning are not known. After regis
tering he went out and was brought back
unconscious in the afternoon. The case was
believed to be an ordinary drunk and the
man was not disturbed until early Friday
morning, when an inmate Of a neighboring
room heard noise from the apartment
occupied by Miller and physician was sum-
moned. The patient died in the afternoon
without recovering consciousness. An au-
topsy was performed, which Dr. Wood
ward. the district health officer, says leaves
no question as to the nature of the disease
The body was wrapped in an antiseptic
sheet and placed in a coffin filed with quick
lime for burial
After Mr.. Miller's death letter reached
the hotel addressed to him. It was from a
companion who had been with him on the
way from Nicaragua, and showed that Mil
Ter had been quite i'll on the steamer and
that the writer of the letter, then in Pitts
ton, Pa, was at the time of writing-the
18th inst.-himself suffering from symptoms
which, DR.. Woodward says, to a well-in-
formed physician would appear suspicious.

will look after the case of sickness in Pitts
ton Miller was employed by the Nicara-
guam canal commission, and came here by
order OF the State Department. There is no
occasion for alarm here as the cool weather
and the precautions taken render the likeli-
hood of a spread of the disease very remote.
The officials of the Marine Hospital Serv-
Ice also investigated the case, and, after
some laboratory tests tonight, pronounced
it true yellow fever. On learning of the ill
ness OF the man at Pittston, DR.. Lee, of
the Pennsylvania State Board Of Health,
was communicated with, and, at his request,
