The order was issued late Thursday

agent OF the board at Key West and

tor Hunt Harris has been appointed to

mere have been busy today trying to
discover by Wire the number of cases,
| the length of time they have been OBJ
served and the source OF the infection,
but Dr.. Sweeting has been unable to

QUARANTINE ESTABLISHED.
! The officials have established a
launch quarantine at Miami and have
appointed additional inspectors to
guard against possible infection from
Key West. At Tampa the quarantine
station and patrol are considered to be
ing I'm are compelled TO stop at this
station. These two points are the ONLY
ones through which communication
can be had with Key West, and they
VIII be thoroughly guarded so that the
possibility of Infection from the be
leaguered city is thus reduced 70 the
minimum.
The news Of the fever in Key West
was received in this city with no alarm.
There is no excitement nor will there
be any. for previous experience has
! demonstrated the efficiency of the
board under DR.: Porter. when Key
West was formerly caught in the same
trouble as now. The only communica-
ti"n excepting by telegraph, is over $50
Giles of water, and the rigid quarantine
that has already been established is
sufficient protection.

DEADLIER
THAN SMALLPOX
Is How Some Physicians
Regard Consumption.
THE STATE QUARANTINE
California Has Adopted 1t, But 1t Is
Hardly Probable That Other
States Will Follow Suit, Yet The
Action of the Health Board
Creates Comment.

Although California has esta blished
a state quarantine against consump-
tives and Colorado is seriously con-
sidering doing the same thing it will
probably be many years before the
Texas health authorities take such q
step.
1t is now universally admitted by
medical men that consumption is con-
tagious and more to be dreaded than
smallpox. 1t is established as a fact
which cannot be disputed that the dis
ease has developed in this locality and
in Mexico, where it had never been
known to exist, until the hordes OF in
valids from the east began scattering
themselves over the west and south
and mingling Unfortunately with
the healthy.
During recent years many cases of
consumption have developed in Ell
Paso and vicinity and ever Mexicans
and Cinnamon have died of the disease
in this city and locality. Only few

take action similar to that of the Cali
fOrnia board.
DIR. George E. Tyler, secretary of the
state health board, said last evening:
''This question is one that never has
been considered seriously in Colorado.
1 think 1 am expressing the sentiment
OF the board of health when l say that
the spread of tuberculosis here
can be mipimised by the exercise OF
proper care by individuals and the
health authorities.
~ Undoubtedly consumption is COM
municabie from one Individual to an
other in the climate of Colorado, for
history has proven that while in the
early days, before tuberculous patients
were no consumptiO cases of native
origin, now we have on an average two
deaths q mouth among persons who
have contracted the disease here"
Next In Importance it the disposition
of consumptives' spusum, for it is by
means of this that the disease is spread
from the patients to their neighbors.
The spu6a should be buried or burned
wherever it is possible to treat them in
those ways.
ST believe that a rule restricting the
Importation of tuberculosis is unneces-
sary."
Local doctors agree that tuberculos-
is can be controlled to greater advan-
tage in Colorado than in California.
Experiments have shown them that in
the humid atmosphere of the Pacific
coast the bscilli of that disease flourish
to an extent greater than in the rari-
fed atmosphere of the Rocky monn-
tsins. On this ground rs basis some
of them argue that more stringent
measures respecting the malady are
necessary in California than here.
