TO CHECK The PLAGUE
Marine Hospital Service 10 Adopt
Extraordinary Measures.
Fifteen Surgeons Appointed to Gunrd
Against the Spread of the Disease
From Foreign ScHports-Thcy Are
TO BE Attached to American Con
suIates-Threc Are at Their Posts.

IN view of the slow but apparently sure
advance of bubonic plague into he west
ern world, the United States Marine Hos
pital Service has taken extraordinary
means to prevent its introduction TO this
country. Surgeon General Wyman Of the
Marine Hospital Service said yesterday that
ne had decided to appoint fifteen surgeons
OF the Marine Hospital Service at foreign
ports, where such officers are not usually
stationed. This action is partly due to the
arrival of the steamship Taylor in the
port Of New York with cases Of the plague
on board
DR.. Wyman says, however, that the
proposition to send surgeons TO the fifteen
additional points was not brought about
by the incident of the Taylor, but that
the plans for taking such a step had been
discussed for some time before the ar
rival of that vessel. Correspondence was
begun with the State Department and the
officials agreed that the proposed step was
a wise one and readily cO-Operated in
carrying out the plans. As a result Of
this cooperation it is arranged that the
Marine Hospital surgeons detailed for this
special duty shall have credentials from
NilS tpltalt ASE bell ltClts AtAAOi AiAAA5 al V'
ernments and other parties concerned that
they are temporarily attached to the
United States consulates where they are
stationed.
Three of the fifteen surgeons detailed
for this special duty are at Cadiz and Bar
celona, Spain, and Naples, Italy. The sur
geo1s are members, for the time being, OF
the cCnsuIates to which they are attached.
The twelve other surgeons are to be sta
toned at the consulates in London, Liver
pool Southampton. Queenstown, Glasgow,
Havre. Hamburg. Genoa, Antwerp RCtter-
dam. Bremen, and Marseilles Some Of
these surgeons have already sailed for
their posts and the others will go imme-
| diately.
At the places mentioned it is customary
for the Consuls to sign bills Of health for
steamers bound for United States ports, in
some cases the Consuls employing local
| physicians TO assist them. In view OF the
persistent spread Of the bubonic plague,
| it is deemed wise to increase the meas
urcs of precaution, and this is the reason
for sending out additional surgeons of the
Marine Hospital Service.

NEW SMALLPOX CASES.

The occupants of both the houses where
smallpox was discovered Wednesday and
Yesterday were removed to the detention
camp yesterday. The last patient reported
TO the Health Office was Julia BriscOe, who
lived at 917 Golden Street southwest. She
was found at an early hour yesterday morn
ing by a policeman of the Fourth precinct
The policeman reported the matter to the
smallpox inspector and he Immediately set
about moving the woman to the pesthouse
The case was reported about . o'clock III
the morning, and by o'clock the patient
had been removed and the house placed
under strict quarantine.
The Health Officer and the smallpox in
spector held a conference yesterday morn
ing when the situation was gone over and
each detail discussed Both of these Off
cials regard the appearance Of the dis
ease, in the quarters of the city IN which
il was found, as a matter OF grave conse-
quence. and they have doubts as to theiI
ability to check its spread among the peo-
PIE living in the neighborhOods. They have
no fear OF il getting any further than the
localities mentioned, although the danger
is great, they state. In the house OF Fred
Young, in Shepherds Court, the inspector
| found several bundles of clothing which
had evidently been given to Young's wife
to wash The man has been i'll over three
weeks, and if, as the inspector thinks, the
woman has been receiving clothing all that
time and sending it out again, the danger
is greatly increased.
The houses have been thoroughly disiH-
| fected. and the health inspectors viii keep
a close watch On the neighborhood to pre-
vent, if possible, the spread OF the dis
ease.
