Washington, Aug. THE state and

evidence which shows that Americans
have been supplying Aguinaldo with
arms and ammunition. Interesting
developments are expected. The evil

GUARANTEEING AGAINST The PLAGUE
Newport News, Va, Has Armed Guards to
Prevent Persons Entering from the
Fever-Infected DistrIct-People
Leaving the Nelghborhood.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The latest off,
cial advices received up to eight o'clock
last night show total of 81 cases and
seven deaths from yellow fever at the
soldiers home at Hampton, Va. One
new case occurred at the home yester-
day. Thus far the disease has been
confined to the home, but all the sur
rounding towns are excited and a Wig
orous quarantine is being maintained.
DR.. Wadin, of the marine hospital serv-
ice, is in charge Of the affairs at Hamp-
ton and is working in cooperation with
the local boards of health. He has
strengthened the Gordon about the
town Of Phoebus, which is in very bad
sanitary condition. After Gordon
had been established around the
soldiers home, neighboring cities were
warned and advised to hunt for any
inmates of the home who might be
visiting and to keep them under close
observation.
Secretary Alger has directed that the
Josiah Simpson hospital at Fort Mon
roe be turned over to the marine hos
pital service If it is wanted.
GUARANTEEING AGAINST THE PLAGUE.

ton, Old Point and the soldiers home
except by wire. Reports telephoned
from the last-named place show that

in hand. The home grounds are eff
fectually quarantined and it is not

beyond the reservation. The town Of
Hampton has Gordon of police guard
ing the approaches to the soldiers
home. This city has quarantined
against Hampton as well as the home,
and street car traffic between the two
places has been abandoned. Armed
guards will prevent any persons from
the vicinity of the fever-infected dis
trict from entering the city.
PEOPLE LEAVE THE NEIGHBoRHooD.
Hampton, Va, Aug. This usually
tranquil town has been in state of
feverish excitement since the discov-
cry of yellow fever at the soldiers
home. Scores Of people took advantage
of the first opportunity to leave the
place. Business in the town of Phoe-
bus, adjoining the soldiers home, is
suspended. 1t is difficult to obtain in
formation from the home. The en-
trance, and in fact all points from
which escape is possible, are carefully
guarded. Late yesterday afternoon a
self-appointed guard Of Is Hampton
ians with Winchester rifles went TO the
home to assist in enforcing the quar-
antine regulations. Chesapeake q
Ohio trains have discontinued their
service to the city.
