D.ph,heria Stamped Out.

For several weeks diphtheria has pre-
vailed to such an extent in the neighbor-
hood of Revell's Station, in the Third
district. that it became quite alarming,
but fortunately il has been effectively
checked and stamped out by the use of
anti-diphtheric serum There was but
one death reported during the prevalence
of the disease, and that of an infant. The
ply icians believe it would have been
serious had anti-toxin not been used.

SMALLPOX Is Feared

South McAlester, l. T., Nov. 1s.-
The Choctaw medical board reports
three cases of smallpox convalescent
and six new cases at Calvin. The
patients have been allowed to run at
large and have come in contact with
the whole town. A quarantine has
been established, but it is feared il
is too late, as it is impossible to tell
how many have been exposed. A
general epidemic is contemplated as
soon as cold weather sets in.

Peculia rifles of the Japanese Bath.
To their credit, be 1t said, Japs are
regular whales at bathing, and usually
when not drinking tea are bathing.
Their only trouble in life seems to be
their inability to enjoy both these de-
lights at the same time. IL some
American trick swimmer could teach
the Japs how to swallow tea out of
bottle while under water, they would
build a tin temple round him, burn In
cense made of old rags and bones un-
der his nose and worship him.
Public baths are numerous In which
"mixcd bathing" was practiced until
lately, but now a bamboo fence sepa-
rates the sexes, though 1t does not
screen them from view, the fence be-
ing only two feet high in lighthouses In
the interior of Japan. Some homes
have q wooden bathtub, circular shape,
with a stove built in one end, which
heats the water. The whole family,
beginning with the father, bathe In
the same water. Sometimes women
"tub" themselves and their children
outside their doors In the streets where
sidewalks should be. The first time q
foreigner falls over one of these bath
ing parties and into the arms of the
bather he feels the situation is unique
but by the time he has tumbled oyel
half dozen he tires of the fun, rubs
his shlas and makes some very uncom

Working on DeIlnquents.

South McAlester, 1. T., Nov.
10. The Dawes commission at
McAlester is still working away on
the delinquent Choctaws who re-
fuse to be enrolled upon the Choc-
taw rolls. The commission, as is
well known met at McAiester for
the purpose of receiving reports
from the sheriffs OF different coun-
ties and to enroll all Choctaws who
heretofore had failed to show up
before the commission.
AS yet only seven sheriffs out of
seventeen have submitted reports,
leaving ten yet to hear from. 1t
was estimated that there were
about 20OO Choctaws who had fail
ed to be enrolled, and out of this
number only a few have come up
for enrolment.
The commission has decided that
after they have received all the re-
ports possible from the sheriffs and
enrolled all applicants they will
send member of the commission
to each county and let him hunt
up all delinquents and make a per-
sonal effort to get them enrolled.
The commission says the Indians
have an idea that if they refuse tc
be enrolled the land will not be al
lotted, and even if it is allotted
they will delay it several years by
refusing to be enrolled.
Parties who live northwest of
McAlester, it is said, have been in
correspondence with the Chcro-
KEGS and Greeks. and they have
agreed among themselves not to
make application. and to use their
influence among their friends to
the same end and wait and see
what steps the government will
take.
In case the Choctaws insist on
carrying out their intentions of
staving off the rolls it will not in
any way deter the commission, for
as last resort they will he enroll
ed by proxy; that is the commits
sion will enroll them upon testi-
mony of persons intimately ae-
uuainted with them and know them
to be Choctaw Indians and entitled
to citizenship and to share in the
allotment of the Choctaw lands.

In Washington the board of gen
eral appraisers has rendered q de-
eision in the case of Thompson &
Leavitt, importers of certain mer-
chandise from Cuba to the port of
Boston, in which Cuba is held to
be a foreign country " The col
lactor levied duties under the Ding
ley tariff as on merchandise import
Ell from a foreign country, and the
importers protested on the ground
that Cuba was no longer a foreign
country. The board did not sus-
tain this protest. By the first arti-
Gle of the treaty of peace, it said.
Spain "relinquishes all claim of
sovereignty over and title to Cuba"
and consents to the occupation of
the island by the United States
on her evacuation of it." On
the other hand, the second and
third articles provide expressly for
the cession" of Puerto Rico and
other West India islands to the
United States. There is no "ces'
sion" of Cuba, which in the opin-
ion of the board, remains foreign
country for the purpose Of the
tariff act.

BOERS PLANNING DEFENSE
VIII Strongly Oppose British Advance
Boer Hospital Service.

Will strongly OppoSe BRUSH ADVANCE
Boer Hospital Service.
London, Nov. 19.-The latest news
from the seat of war in South Africa
is, from one point of view, favorable
to the British, showing that Kimber-
ly is able to hold her own against the
Beers, and that Estcourt is in a posi-
ton to beat back an attack by the
Boer force now facing it. On the
other hand, the advices pay testi-
mony to the ceaseless activity of the
burghers on the Free State frontier
aud their determination to cut off re-
lief for Ladysmith and, If possible, to
isolate or capture Estcourt, which is
the nearest town to Ladysmith still
held by the British.
A number of small Boer comman-
does from the east and west are con-
verging on Estcourt and the railroad
just south of that place. The Boers
already aggregate at least 2, 900, with
few guns, which they evidently,
from the intrenchments they arc
throwing up, mean to mount on hills
dominating any advance north from
Estcourt, where General Hillyard is
still commanding.
Even with the strong relief column
now hurrying up from Durham the
British will have a tough job to piero
the Eoer forces thrown across the
roads to Ladysmith while crossing
the Tugela river on pontoon bridges
in the face Of the Boer artillery, and
rifle fires from the northern ridges
commanding the rivers will probably
prove one of the stiffest enterprises
of the war.
Estcourt, Natal Friday, Nov. 49,
DIR. Briscoe, who was in charge of
the Red Cross train sent to fetch the
killed and succor the wounded of the
armored train. disaster, gives ali in
teresting account of second inter-
view which he had with the Boer
commandant, who met DIR. Briscoe
as soon as he left the train CARRYING
white flag. The commandant re-
piled to the DOCTORS request for per-
mission to remove the dead and
wounded by saying that there was no
need to hand over the dead who had
already been buried, and that 80 far
as the wounded were concerned, they
were being we'll cared for by the Boer
hospital corps.
The Boer commandant and DR..
Briscoe, it is added, interchanged
compliments on the pluckiness ex-
hibited on both sides. The command
ant spoke English fluently, was OF
highly polished manners, expressed
admiration for the British soldiers.
and promised to do his best to get
the names of the killed. When ques-
toned concerning the whereabouts
of Winston Churchill. the command
ant replied: 81 do not know"
DR.. Briscoe says the public and the
relatives of the wounded may be as
sured that they will be cared for, as a
Scotch surgeon, DIR. Maxwell, was
pressed into the Boer service at Err
melo to take charge of the Boer hos
pital.
