ZUNI SCARE OYER.
DR.. Knapp Returns from His Western Trip
Having Stayed the Course of the
SmallpOy Scourge,

DR.. Knapp, who was sent to the Zunl
settlements on the Arizona border. to
fight the smallpox scourge which
threatened to annihilate the entire
Pueblo, has returned, leaving the In
dians in very good shape, and further
fear of smallpox removed The doctor
would of course. have been unable to
carry out any effective measures had he
not been given special authority, as the
Indians were disposed to fight any meas
ures taken to stop the disease, for they
are fatalists and will not do the first
thing themselves to avoid cOntagiOn
The doctor was made deputy United
States marshal by Marshal Foraker, the
governor delegated him special author
ity, and in addition he received further
powers from Washington. So he went
fixed for business. As he expected,
the IuniS proposed to resist
this 'unwarrantable interference
in their private affairs, and
at the outset. the doctor was com
PEELED to resort to show of force. But
when the Zunis found that the doctor
was a government and territorial Off
cial, as well as medicine man. ana
could call any amount of assistance to
carry out his orders. the Indians gave
in, and after that there was no trouble
The usual precautions and quarantining
were put into force, no one was per-
mitted to enter or leave the pueblo for
or from Gallup or adjoining towns, and
by liberal use of disinfectants and a
severe quarantine system. the disease
was so far stamped out that the plague
is practically stayed, and only perhaps
a dozen more deaths may be expected at
the farthest.
The population involved was 1,s0o
souls, and there were 600 cases, of which
233 died. This makes big hole in the
Zuni tribe, and they will have to be
watched in the future to prevent further
aavagpS of the disease

Eagan Prefers Refrigerated Beef.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Former Com
missary General Eagan testified before
the court Of inquiry investigating the
beef charges today. He explained that
Swift & Co. were wholly responsible for
the beef until delivered to the govern
ment officials at points designated by
the department. The clause requiring
beef to keep ~ hours after leaving the
refrigerator was inserted at his instance,
after the concerns declared they could
prepare it so as to keep that long. He
presumed deduction for spoiled beef had
been made, though he did not know.
He understood beef had been rejected
by commands when it was perfectly
good. He had reached satisfactory
understanding with General Brooke as
to the refrigerated beef for the, Puerto
Rico expedition, but never consulted
Miles on the subject. Frozen beef was
declared by the commissary officials at
Tampa to be the best solution of fresh
beef problem, until circumstances would
permit prompt delivery Of refrigerated
beef. Ample and complete was the
authority OF commissaries in Cuba and
Puerto Rico to purchase beef on the
hoof for any emergencies or at the will
of commanders. The reports received
showed that native beef was not nearly
30 satisfactory as refrigerated beef.
The latter tends to take the place of
beef on the hOof. wherever both are
equally available.
