The EnidsmIc Of 1855.

The present outbreak of yellow fever
at Norfolk and vicinity recalls the last
epidemic, the great plague OF 1885, which
devastated the three communities ol
Gosport, Norfolk and Portsmouth, and
ranks in medical history as one OF the
most severe epidemics this country has
ever witnessed Despite the fact that a
third of the population of these three
towns fed when the disease reached
epidemic proportions, the total death
list for the three months OF pestilence
was 1902. The death rate was more
severe than during the black plague OF
London in 1865. That seourge carried
off 1oo, 900 people, but the mortality was
only in ~. = During .ithe epidemic at
Norfolk it was I in 3,
The fever was brought to the port
by the West India steamer Ben Franklin
from St, Thomas, where yellow lever
was then raging.
Several men died aboard the Franklin
after she entered The bay, some OF the
bodies being buried and one washing
ashore. On reaching her wharf the hold
was opened and the bllge pumped out
resulting in an outbreak OF fever III the
adjoining shipyard. The fever was
confined for a while to GOsport, but was
carried by refugees to Norfolk and
Portsmouth. 1t rapidly spread through
out all these towns, and the people fled
panic stricken,
Other towns quarantined against the
infected district till at one time there
was an incipient famine and not enough
able bodied people left to nurse the sick
and bury the dead. Whole streets were
depopulated and families wiped out by
the disease. Business was suspended
almost throughout the summer. The
Howard Relief Association was formed
among the weather. people Of the town,
and with the aid OF nurses, physicians,
and supplies which began to pour in from
the outside the sick were cared for. But
as OF the volunteer nurses and doctors
died in the town they had come to aid,
and it was not till frost came in October
that the scourge was stayed.

Sues for Prize Money.

Rear Admiral William ] Sampson
wants to recover prize money for the
capture OF the Spanish ships and stores
defeated aud recovered by Rear Admit
raj SchlSy in the famous battle OF Santi-
ago. Monday he filed suit in admir-
ralty upon behalf OF himself, as COM
mander in chief of the North Atlantic
Squadron, and the officers and enlisted
men in his command, ,Iibeling the Spanish
cruiser InianIa Maria Teresa, and mis-
cellaneous stores and supplies captured
as a result OF the engagement. He
places the value oi the sunken cruiser
and the stores and supplies recovered
at about $500, 900, although they have
not vet beel surveyed by board Of
appraisers Of the Navy Department.
The bill recites that a state of war
existed between the United States and
Spain, and says that the vessels OF the
United States Navy did capture from
the King of Spain the armored cruiser
Infanta Maria Teresa, and a large
quantity Of naval stores and supplies
and other property upon the said cruiser
and upon other vessels Of the King OF
Spain, to wit, the armored cruisers
Vizcaya, Almirante Oquendo, Cristobal
Colon, and the torpedo boat destroyers
PIuton and Furor." Included in the
captures Rear Admiral Sampson
enumerates torpedoes, guns, gun
mounts, rifles, ammunition, ,searchlights.
coin. currency. and other miscellaneous
articles. 1t is alleged the capture OF
the vessel and the stores took place as
a result Of the engagement, and he adds
that the Spanish vessels we're aided by
the land batteries about the harbor of
Santiago, and he believes that the
enemy's forces were equal or superior
to the naval forces Of the United States.
All of the property secured, he AYERS,
was appropriated to the use OF the
United States, and the final abandon
ment Of the Maria Teresa off Cat Island
is set forth. No court, he declares, has
been designated by the Secretary OF
the Navy where proceedings tor con-
demnation could be brought for the
adjmdicatiou OF bis rights or those under
his command.
Admiral Sampson asks that rule be
issued by the court against the Secretary
ofthe Navy and the District Attorney
to show cause, if any, why the property
should not be condemned as prize in
accordance with law. Messrs, Joseph
X. McCammon and James H. Hayden
appear as pToctors for Rear Admiral
Sampson and Webb & Webb. and
Charles and William B. King as counsel
