No Reason For Alarm.

New York, Aug. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Surgeon
General Wyman of the marine hospital
service, does not think there is reason for
alarm in this country on account Of the
outbreak of bubonic plague in Portugal.
The only official information he has had
thus far is contained in the dispatch from
the United States consul general at Lis
bon:
"Bubonic plague at Oporto. Few cases
in Lisbon. No trains can pass Spanish
frontier. No more clean bills of health
issued to vessels"
Upon receiving this dispatch Surgeon
General Wyman at once cabled Surgeon
Fairfax Irwin of the marine hospital SER
vice, who is in Europe, directing him to
go to Marseilles and from there to Opor-
to, and to make a report Of the situation.

The chances of Dreyfus' acquittal are

PugiliSt Badly Hurt.

San Francisco, Aug. 17.-At 2 O'Clock
this morning the condition of Jim Franey,
who was knocked out by Frank McCon-
nell in the fourteenth round of 20 round
glove contest, given under the auspices Of
the National Athletic club last night, is
extremely precarous. Extreme JUNCTION
has been administered by Father Hickey
of the Catholic church. and the friends OF
the fighter have abandoned hope Of his
recovery. The attending physicians at
the city and county hospital have dag
nosed his case as one of severe conclusion
of the brain, and give no hope Of a sue
cessful rally. The patient is entirely un-
conscious, and has remained so Since he
was knocked out. AS soon as his critical
condition became manifest the police ar
rested those who participated in the glove
contest in various capacities. They are be-
ing held at the city prison pending the
result Of Franey's injuries, no formal
charges having yet been entered against
them.
At 4:30 this morning DR.. Zabala, city
physician, reported the condition Of Pu-
gilist Jim Franey as so much improved
that he felt justified in predicting early
recovery. About IA ounces Of blood have
been drawn from the still unconscious
fighter with good results, and II is ex-
pected that he will soon regain his senses.
His sister, who is with him. has been as
sured tina. his injuries will not prove
fatal. st
Jim Franey, the Cincinnati middle
weight puglist who was beaten into in.
sensiblity last night by Frank McCon-
nell in their contest before the National
club, had not regained consciousness at
$40 this morning, and the physicians at
the receiving hospital have given up all
hope Of saving his life. Mcconnell and
his seconds, with Franey's seconds and
managers Of the club, were placed under
arrest, as was also Referee Hiram Cook.
