YELLOW FEVER GERMS
The Commission of Experts
Appointed in 1897, Re.
ports.

Washington Aug. 18.-The report
Of the commission appointed by the
president in 1897 from the Marine
Hospital service staff to investigate
the nature of yellow fever was today
made public by Surgeon General
Wyman The commission was com
posed of Surgeon Eugene Wasdin
and passed assistant Surgeon Ged-
dings. both of them experts
The conclusion of the comm ission
is summarized as follows:
First-Tnat the micro organism
discovered by Prof. Giuseppe San.
arelii, of the University of Bologna,
Italy, and by him named "bacilius
icteroidese," is the cause of yellow
fever.
Second-That yellow fever is
naturally infectious in certain animals
the degree varying with the species,
that in some rodents local Infection
is very quickly followed by blood
infections /; and that, while in dogs
and rabits there is no evidence of
this subsequent invasion of the blood,
monkeys react 70 the infection the
same as man
Third-That infection takes by
way of the respiratory tract, the
primary colonization in this trac.
giving to the earlier manifestations
of the disease
Fourth-That in many cases of the
disease. probably a majority, the
primary Infection or colonization in
the lungs is followed by secondary
infection, or secondary colonization
of this organism in the blood of the
patient This secondary Infection
may be complicated by the coinstan
eous passage of other organisms into
the blood, or this complication may
arise during the last hours of life
Fifth-That there is no evidence
to support that theory advanced by
Prof. Sanarelli that this disease is
primarily septicaemis, inasmuch rs
cases do occur in which the bacillus
ictroides cannot be found in the blood
or organs in which it might be
deposited therefrom
Sixth-That there exists no casual
relationship between the bacillus
"X" OF Sternberg aud this highly
infectious disease, and that bacillus
"X" is frequently found in the intes-
tinal contents of the normal animals
and of man, as we'll as in the urine
and the bronchial secretion.
Seventh-Tbat, 30 far as your com
mission is aware, the bacillus ictero.
ides has never been found in any
body other than one infected with
yellow fever, and that whatever may
be the cultural similarities between
this and other micro organisms it is
characterized by speci6city which
is distinctive
Eight-That the bacillus icteroides
is very susceptible to the influences
injurious to bacterial life +; and that
its ready control b. the processes of
disiufection, chemical and mechani-
cal, is assured
Ninth-That the bacillus icteroides
produces in vitro, as we'll as in vita,

that the Trausvaal government had

Lopdou, August 21.-There is DO
longer any doubt that President Kruger

Mr.. Chamberlaic for the appointment

done SO automatically. bu. that his
answer ia regarded by the British gov
erument as tantamouos to positive

The report that President Kruger
has proposed new terms is somewhat
verified by the guarded comment Of the
colocial officials aud the lrrissbility
displayed there. There is net the
slightest doubt that they believe var is
nov tie only way to settle the contro
versy. They would far rather had a
curt, defiant answer than the temporiz
lug reply which the Beer presiden; has
sent With the former, Great Britain
would have plain grounds for quick
commelcemsns Of hostiIities. Under
the circumstances which it is believed
now exist aggressive action needs con-
siderable explanation to justify it in the
eyes of the world and the Eegiish
minority who still declare thai war
would be an outrage. However, if
Mr. Chamberlain had his va.y it is be-
lieved President Krsger'e counter pro
posals will meet with scan; attention,
aad unless the Beers completely back

will quickly develop into war.
It is gathered that the colonial ofice
has been aware of the nature of the

it is probable that Great Britain will
