Surgeon General Nyman. OF the rnn.
rine hospital service. has received q
dispatch from Surgeon Murray, of the
service, confirming the Associated
Press report. DR.. r. D. Gedding, of The.
marine hospita! service. now stationed
at Tampa. was ordered today to pro
'eed directly to Camp McHenery ana
take charge of Camp Fontainebleau.
( he yellow fever camp put in operation
during the fever last year. and which
IS now in readiness for the present
rases. Surgeon Murray telegraphed
hat he had gone to McHenry, and CON
lrmed the diagnosis made by the
state authorities. The town Is now
guarded and Marine Hospital Surgeon
Carter is already there With Surgeon
Murray and the federal and state au-
lhorities are cooperating.
The danger Is not 80 much feared at
Mciienry as is the probability OF its
breaking out at other points. Nc
Henry is n small place. isolated, and
there is little danger OF it's spreading
outside the limits there. But the fever
cases are officially believed to be due
to germs that have hihernatcd at Nc
Henry from the last season when the
fever was much in evidence In that sec
ton. While In that ALTERNATING stage
germs may have been carried out to
various points. and though the proba-
Dlities 0f n general spread from there
may he lessencd by the compare tive
isolation OF the little hamlet. other
points in the South possible of Infection
are being watched with the utmost
concern. Throughout the spring ON
Gals have been keeping a lookout for
the first sign OF fever. and in ten days
more the hospital surgeons would have
felt warranted In the belief that prac-
tically all danger OF n spread Of fever
was past. U.
Surgeon General wyman said today:
Ordinarily II we had not been on thc
lockout these cases might have been
progressing for n long period without
being recognized and the diagnosis
nigh. have been disputed Rut there
is hope now in view OF their prompt
discovery that the spread will be pre-
vented. In several places last summer
the fever was quickly recognized and
II did not spread. attributable to the
prompt preventative measures adopted
I'VE are keeping n close watch not
only at McHenry, but elsewhere"
