SERUM TO CURE
YELLOW FEVER
Report of Government Medical Off,
c.rs Who Have Studied the Dis
ease, as 10 Its Effects.

WASHINGTON. August iS.-The report
NJ the Commission appointed by the Pre-
sident lB IS91 from the Marine Hospitat
Service stan 10 investigate the nature Of
yellow fever. was to-day made public
by surgeOn-General Wyman.
The Commission was composed OF sur
ge0n Eugene Wasdin ana Passed Assist
ant Surgeon Geddings. both Of them yell
low fever experts. The conclusions Of the
Commission are summarized ar follows:
"First-That the micro-organism dis
covered by Professor Giuseppe Sandreli.
of the University OF Bologna. Italy, and
by him named "Bacciilus icteroides,' Is
the cause Of yellow ieyer
"second-That yellow fever IS naturally
infectious in certain animals, the degree
varying with the species. that I'm some
rodents local infection Is very quickly
followed by blood Infection. and that.
while i'm dogs and rabbits there is no evil
dcuce of this subsequent Invasion OF the
blood. monkeys. reIct To the infection
the same as man.
HOW INFECTION OCCURS.
"Thlrd-That Infection takes place by
way of the respiratory tract, the primary
colonization I'm This tract giving rise o.
the earlier manifestations OF the disease.
"Fourth-That in many cases OF the
disease probably a majority, the primary
Infection or colonization I'm the lungs s.
followed ~ a secondary injection or
secondary colonization OF this organism
I'm the blood OF the patient. This secon-
Diary Infection may be complicated by the
cOinstantaneOus passage 0f other organ
isms into the blood Or this complication
may arise during the last hours of life.
"Fifth-That there is no evidence 20
s,Ipport the theory advanced bay Professor
sanareni that this disease IS primarily a
reptlcaemia inasmuch as cases do occur
I'm which the bacillus icteroides cannot
De found in the blood ar organs In which
il might be deposited therefrom.
"Sixth-That there EXITS no casual re-
latIonship between the Dacciius TX Of

tious disease, and that the bacillus "N'
il freouentlv found IN the intestinal con
tents Of normal animals and OF man az
well as.in the urine and the bronchial se~

IN NO OTHER BODY.
"sevcnth-rhat 80 far as your Commis-
sion h. aware. the bacillus icteroides has

Extra inducements to Expedite the
Recruitment.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The War
Department is offering extra induce
ments to expedite the recruitment OF
the ten volunteer regiments. Nearly
all the commissions having been issued,
many of the disappointed applicants
have been advised to enter the ranks,
as in that way it may be possible for
them to secure commissions. General
Corbin says that the policy of the Ad-
ministration will be to fill all vacancies
which may occur among commissioned
officers from the ranks. A number
of applicants for commissions have en-
listed as privates in the different regi-
ments, and have been appointed nom
commissioned officers whenever possi-
BILE, and consequently are next in line
of promotion to commissioned rank in
the event of a vacancy.
Another method of securing recruits
is to offer commissions to men other
wise qualified who will undertake to
furnish in each case not less than forty
men who can pass muster as soldiers,
and who enlist for service in the Phil
ippines. There have been several cases
of this kind during the past week.
