STILL AT ANCHOR.
Those Who Hoped to See Her Sailing
Yesterday disappointed

NEW YORK, Aug. 30-The Shamrock
was at anchor all day. and those who had
hoped to see the challenger for the Amer
ica's Cup get under way and sail were
disappointed Some who had not realized
that it takes time to get racing yacht
in shape to sail had thought that when
she left the Erie Basin on Tuesday aft
ernoon she could put her sails on in
few minutes, and that she would be sailing
today. There is lots of work to be done
yet before she can stretch her Sails and
Captains Hogarth and Wringe are not
sighting any OF the work. The sails have
been put on board, and some of the sail
makers, who arrived last Saturday on the
st. Louis, were at work on them at times
during the day. The Shamrock is now
all ready for her sails; the only reason
they were not bent today was that the
spars were wet with paint and varnish. It
is aanerally believed that the yacht will
remain off Tompkinsvil1e until the arrival
of Sir Thomas Upton and Fife and Rat
sey, who are wanted on board TO see that
everything Is all right. VIII Fife will
look to the rigging and trim of the yacht
and Thomas Ratsey will see that the sails
are as they should be. A trial would be
useless without the men on board.

ISOLATION WARDS NEEDED.
Hospital Authorities Requested to
Open Them Immediately.


Although Health Office experts do not
regard conditions as alarming, there has
been no decrease in the number of diph
iberia and scarlet fever cases which have
been very prevalent in the District during
the past fortnight. The Health Officer yes
terday morning reported that there was a
slight increase in the prevalence of the dis
iberia reported during the day was four,
in three premises, and one new case of
scarlet fever developed. The total number
of cases of diphtheria existing IN the Dis
trist is eighty-three, in forty-five premises,
and there are thirty-eight scarlet fever
cases in thirty-one premises.
In view of the present conditions, DR..
Woodward is endeavoring to have the new
diphtheria isolation wards at Garfield Hos
pital completed and ready for occupancy
as speedily possible. He reported to
the District Commissioners, after investi-
cation yesterday morning, that he had
been unofficially informed by DR.. Francis
M. Nesmith, Superintendent of the hos
pital, that the isolation wards recently
erected on the grounds of the institution
were practically ready for use, but that
II had been desired to postpone their open
ing until the fall, in order that the hos
pital authorities might realize some profit
by means of a reception to be held in them.
DR.. Woodward was also informed by DR..
Carl S. Keyser, acting superintendent of
the hospital. that 1t was the intention
to open the wards on October l. Dr. Key
ser further stated that it would take about
one week TO get the buildings ready for
use, and that certain parts of the hospital
machinery, which had been received from
the factory in a defective condition, had
been sent back to the manufacturers.
DR.. Woodward at first hesitated to press
recommendation for the immediate open
ing Of the isolation wards, not desiring to
interfere with the plans of the institution.
However in view of the fact that the
sfr,lotuI were chiefly erected with Gov
ernment funds, and that an appropriation
has been made for their maintenance. and
principally in view of the present preva-
lence of scarlet fever. which has taxed
Providence Hospital to its utmost capacity.
the Health Officer has recommended that
the Garfield Hospital authorities be re-
quested to throw open the doors of the new
wards for immediate occupation.

of a dam on the Plata River, seventeen
miles from San Juan. for the purpose OF

worthy of consideration, il was decided to
issue such license as could be revoked,

Valdez proposes TO begin work at once,
