Brought From Brazil in the
Steamer j. W. Taylor.
ONE DEATH ON THE WAY
The Ship Will Not Be Permitted to Ente +
port-No Doubt That 1t Is the
Bubonic Plague - May
~ Burn the Vessel. .

New York, Nov. 1S.-The British
steamer ]. w. Taylor from Santos is
detained at Quarantine under suspicion
crew. One man died at sea with very
suspicious symptoms, and Captain
Waters and the ships cook are both
sick. The Taylor left Santos, Brazil,
Oct. with a full cargo of coffee and
sailed direct for this port. On Nov.
l Robert Hope, aged % years, the
steward, was taken sick and on the 18th
died. His remains were buried at sea.
He was a native of England. Hope
was in the hospital at Santos for about
two weeks suffering from an eruption
thought to be eczema. He sailed with
the steamer and after several days at
sea complained of pains in his head,
legs and back. He was put to bed in
an exhausted condition, and on the sec
ond day developed fever. The captain
treated him with such remedies as the
ships medicine chest afforded and
nursed him with care until he died.
On arrival at Quarantine the case was
reported to the health officers, and In
view OF the fact that the captain and
cook, who We're in constant contact
with the sick man were both ailing,
the steamer Is detained at Quarantine
for disinfection.
The disinfecting steamer James w.
WadsWorth has been alongside the Tay-
Tor since her arrival this morning, dis
injecting officers and crews quarters
and the clothing and effects Of the
crew. The work will be continued an
til thoroughly disinfected, which will
be about Monday. AT p. m. officials
Of the New York board of health
boarded the j. w. Taylor and made
careful examination of Captain Wat
ers and Charles j. Allison, the ships
cook who are suffering from bubonic
plague. Both patients We're suffering
from glandular swelling under the arms
and groin. Shortly after being exam
ined by DR.. Parke, Captain Waters &C
companied by his wife and Charles j.
Allison, were transferred to Swim
burne island hospital for treatment.
Both patients are quite comfortable
and will no doubt recover.
DR. John B. Crosby, commissioner Of
the city board Of health, said tonight:
Under no circumstances will the
ship be allowed to enter port even after
1t has been disinfected. The coffee will
be allowed to be landed. I believe that
the roasting through which the coffee
must pass before it is used will kill all
germs. 1t is almost impossible to dis
infect q ship, and should there be any
danger of the spreading Of the disease
/ would suggest the advisability of
burning the vessel, no matter what tine
cost might be-

Columbia and Dartmouth.

New York. Nov 1S.--In halls of 25 and
20 minutes Columbia defeated Dartmouth
to-day . to 0. The backs of the Columbia
eleven broke through the line and cir
cled the ends at will. Dartmouth sue
ceeded in making the necessary five yards

Columbia for downs. Proctor's punting
prevented Columbia from rolling up a
much larger score and was the feature of
Dartmouth's play. Rogers and C'Connor
also did good work for Dartmouth.
Weeks distinguished himself by making
two long runs, resulting in touchdowns.
One of these runs was for 90 yards. Bruce
put up a good game at guard. As COM

the risk of losing it on downs With
the last period about halt, over the Yale
eleven played fiercely, but it was inn
possible to beat down Harvard's de-
Tense, and the ball shifted first one way
and then to the other. With i've min
utes to play, Harvard renewed the at
tack and began an exhibition of scien-
tific football almost unequalled. Her
line ploughed through the Yale for
wards with apparent ease and her
backs were like catapaults. They liter
ally ripped and tore through the center
of the field to Yale's 25-yard line, each
play seemingly being executed with in
creasng strength and pugnacity.
Harvard there lost on a tumble, and
after an exchange of punts, which
placed the ball in Fincke's hands, only
to be fumbled at Yale's 23-yard hne,
the chance came to Harvard to score
in try by Hallowell for a goal from
drop kick. 1t failed. and as the two
elevens prepared to line up with the
ball in Yale's possession. time was
called and the great game had ended
without scoring.

alties being imposed but twice. None
