Turks IN OLD BUILDINGS.
Fever in Vera Cruz Started When
Several Were Torn Down.

Washington, July SIN order to make
more effective the quarantine against the
introduction of yellow fever from Vera
Cruz and other infected cities of Mexico,
the surgeon general of the marine hospi-
tai service has located Assistant Surgeon
Cofer at the City of Mexico. He is >in-
structed to keep watch upon the railway
travel to the United States, to give cer-
tihcates TO passengers and superintend
business infection when necessary. His
reports to the surgeon general indicate a
decrease of the fever at Vera Cruz.
A report has been received from the
consul at that city saying that the pres
ent epidemic followed upon The dismant-
ling of number of old houses in 1898.
Surgeon General Wyman accepts this re-
port as strongly confrmatory of the the
ory that the yellow fever germ turks in
o.d buildings and is apt to be liberated
to the detriment Of the community when
the buildings are demolished or repaired
in the summer season.
