A PLAGUE RIDDEN VESSEL.
British Steamer Detained with Officers and
Crew III With Bubcnic Plague.

New YORK, November 22.-Tho Brit
ish steamer, j. w. Taylor, from Santos,
is detained at the quarantine station on
suspicion of having tho terrible Bubonic
plague on board. Ono of tho crew died
at sea Oh the 7th instant under circum-
stances that Indicated that tho cause of
his death was tho Bubonic disease. Capt
Walters and tho ships cooks arc i'll and
show indications of Bubonic swellings.
Tho sick have boon transferred to Swim
burn island and the rest of tho crew to
Hoffman island.
Uopo, the Englishman who died at sea :,
had boon in tho hospital ut Santos fort
night, suffering with an eruption thought
to bo eczema, but returned to duty be-
fore the steamer sailed. Capt. Walters
and the cooks had boon in constant at
tendance on tho siok man.
Tho captain of tho j. w. Taylor, now
detained at quarantine on suspicion of
having tho Bubonic plague on board, it
is now hoped has malarial fcver. He
states that when within three days of
this port he experienced symptoms of
malarial fevor and tho cook the noxt day
experienced the Same feelings. Whom
thoy arrived at quarantine both were ex-
hausted and sont to bed. No ono else
on the ship was ill, but DR.. Doty, tho
quarantine physician, fears that sick
ness may spread because tho cook, while
nursing tho member of tho crew who
diod and was buried at sea, may have
contracted tho Bubonic fever. Tho ship
is boing thoroughly disinfocted.
The ship has on board cargo of green
coffee.
DR.. John B. Cosby, commissioner of
tho city board of health, says:
"Under no circumstances will the ship
bo@llowed to onter port, ovon aftor it has
been disinfected. The coffee will be al
lowed to be landed. Tho bags it is now
in will be burned and the coffeo loaded
in bulk and then placed in now bags. 1

tho coffee must pass before it is used

The People Indignant, - S,,. \ &, d

- o. +, . a-.
a. Admiral Dewey last week transferred
tho title to his gift home to his bride,
and indignation in Washington against
the admiral is at fever heat. 1t Is stated
in the newspaper dispatches that his
action was duo to his fear Of breach Of
promise suit. , &*. III. %.
Tho Washington Star says: y
'"rhe transfer was made to preserve
tho house, as Admiral Dewey fears suit
for breach of promise will be instituted
against him by lady employed In tho
bureau of equipment, of which tho admi-
raj was tho head before he was assigned
to the charge Of tho Asiatic squadron In
1907. 1t Is stated upon what appears to
bo reliable authority that an enlargement
of marriage existed between the two at
tho timo Of tho admiral's departure from
this country more than two years ago.
Thoro is doop regret mingled with tho
indignation, but no ono as yet has felt
called upon to dofend his course, and
even his best friends fool that he has
