BUBONIC
PLAGUE
Was Brought Into San Fran
cisco BY A Japanese
Steamer.
MUCH APPREHENSION
Felt Lest the Disease Ger
Hold In Chinatown
and Spread Else
where.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, July 29.--
This city is much wrought up over
the supposed danger from bubonic
plague, alleged to have been brought
here by the Japanese steamer Nippon
Maru.
1t is known that young Japanese
girl died of the plague on the steamer
two days before the vessel reached
here and was buried at sea.
This news reached the Japanese
crew, and they became wild when they
were notified that the vessel would be
held two weeks in quarantine.
Two of the crew. who had acted
queerly for several days, dropped over
board in the harbor with life preser-
vers on and attempted to swim to the
city. They were drowned, and their
dead bodies, tied together by q rope,
were found on the beach.
The coroner was notified and an ex.
animation by the health officers showed
signs of plague on the bodies, though
it will require archaeological analysis
to determine the presence of the dis
ease positively.
The chief source of danger from the
plague here is in the Chinese, who re-
plague should be carried into China
town it might easily become as deadly
as it is in Hong Kong.

WORKING FOR WHIPPLE
P. n. Murphy in Washington in fhe
 Interest of inc Post.

Washington, April 26.-(Special)- The outlook for the establishment of Whipple Barracks at Prescott is considered here to be good. MT. F. M Murphy of Prescott has been here in the interest of the post and he has received assurances that the work of rehabilitation comprehended in the recomm endation made by the secre- tary of war to congress several months ago, will be proceed ed with, if the premises of goc1 water and sewerage ta- cilities at the post are kept. MT. Murphy said to your correspondent to- day before leaving for New York that if the people Of Prescott took decided action soon toward supplying the post with good water and sewerage sys- toms, he had no doubt that the secre- tary of war would issue the necessary orders for the rebuilding of Whipple.
 The war department is keeping close watch on the situation in Prescott. and the people of that city may rest assured that if they settle the water and sewerage questions soon they will be doing a good stroke for themselves. Thore are pressing demands for the location of troops in other quarters, and if WhiPple is permitted to lacZuish tho blame will have to rest on tbd peo- plc whose inaction is now the only bar to prompt action by Secretary Alger.
 It has been a hard struggle to over come the objection to WhiDple created here but MT Murphy, although hand icapped by illness in the last six months, has kept the matter con stantly before the department and is certain to be successful if the im- portance of the matter $ properly ap- preciated in Prescott. Mr Murphy has practically recovered his health and will leave for the territory in a few days
