TWO NEW CASES
Of Smallpox Reported, Tues
day, in WinsIow.
Twenty-Five Cases Are Now Positively
Known in that Town.
One New Case in Waterviile Two in Winslow
Will Probably Die.

Winslow, Me-. Feb. 7.-(SpeciaD.--
port DR.. A. L. Bessey, the health officer
of this town, made to Journal re-
porter, this morning. Whan asked
about the quarantine DR.. Bessey said
that it is as strict as it can be. Men
are Still stationed at each house to pre-
vent persons entering and leaving the
houses under quarantine. He is not of
the opinion that a pest house should
be provided. saying that the quaran-
tine as is now observed is as good as
can possibly be maintained and under
the present arrangement the people
are having excellent care.
There is no question that the disease
is much worse here than across the
river in Waterville. There are some
thing like .: cases where it is absolute
~ SURE. that there is smallpox. Up TO
noon yesterday, there was no change
| in the situation except that the pa
| tents We're doing as well as could be
| expected. Some of them are seriously
sick and it is feared that one or two
cannot recover.
| There is one thing that makes il
very difficult to have the quarantine
observed in the strictest manner pos
sible. There are a great many people
who are of the opinion that there is no
| smallpox in town. They spread the
same report in other places and for
that reason the people living in the
houses under quarantine consider that
they are suffering some untold hard
ship.
| As yet the Hollingsworth & Whit
ney Co. is not having lis operatives
vaccinated. The matter is yet optional
with the operatives themselves.
| All the new cases winch have been
rcported are in families living on what
is known as Sand Hill. 1t was from
this section of town that the young
man by the name of Higgins who was
taken sick in Auburn with the small
pox, came He formerly lived in Wa
terville but afterwards came to this
place from which place he Went to
Auburn.
| Up to 10 O'Clock tonight, there was
not the slightest change in the situa-
ton in this place. The cases that are
reported to be dangerously sick have
not perceptibly changed.
A good part of the cases in this place
are confined to the houses owned by
tthe Lock wood Manufacturing CO. The
disease in this place is congested. AL
though there are something like :.
cases in the town there are not over q
dozen houses under quarantine. tbs
disease being wholly confined in those
houses
Many of the houses are in the ragio,
of Sand hill. The remainder are along
! the River road between the two
bridges and along the line of the rail
road. The patients are receiving the
best care possible.
| 1t is felt that it is yet too early ia
tell what the ultimate result will be
The fact that only two new cases We're
in evidence. today. gives some encour-
agement. In spite of this there is not
| the slightest relaxation of duties by the
board of health and the health officer
