Gov. WOOdGn States the Situation at
the Soldiers Home.
Washington, Aug. 3.-Gov Woodhn of
the Soldiers Home at Hampton tonight
wired the Associated Press as follows:
National Soldiers Home, Va. Aug. g
In view of the exaggerated reports in the
daily press throughout the country as to
the epidemic of yellow fever at the home,
1 deem il incumbent TO the duty l owe the
public and particularly to the families of
the 1900 members of this home to make
the following statement:
THE disease first made its appearance
about the 22nd Of July, when several mem
bers were sick in quarters, but did not
consider themselves sufficiently i'll TO re-
quire hospital treatment, but on the 27th
the surgeon ordered several to the hos
pital and not until the next day did any
symptoms of yellow fever appear, at
which time Surgeon Vickery reported the
facts 10 me and recommended that yell
low fever expert be requested from Sur
gen General Wyman of the marine hospital
service who ordered DR.. Wasdin to report
to Dr. Vickery for the purpose of investi-
cation. On Saturday he reached here, and
he hesitated about coming to a decision
until such time as he could hold an au-
topsy. Such autopsy was held on Sunday.
and the doctor without hesitation declared
it to be yellow fever.
"Since the outbreak of the disease there
have been forty cases, out of which num-
Der FIVE have died up to this date. The
outlook at the present time is that If the
present favorable weather continues we
shall have no further spread of the yellow
fever, and we feel confident it is now I'M
der control. The home is so thoroughly
quarantined by land and water that there
is no probability of the fever spreading
beyond the home limit.
Il am instructed by Gen. w. B. Frank
lin, president of the board Of managers,
". H. D. V. s. to spare no expense in
efforts to eradicate the scourge and for
the employment of immune doctors and
nurses and supplies and can assure the
public that with our efficient medical staff,
trained nurses and wei appointed hospital
service in every respect the care which
these veterans receive is equal to the best
which could be provided elsewhere, even
in their own homes.
