SMALLPOX IN CATAlWBA.
The Cases Are in the Country, and the
Danger of Contagion is Small.

Newton, n. c., April 4.-(Special.)-
There has been considerable excitement
in and around Newton over two supposed
cases of smallpox. Two negroes-a man
and his wife-had what was believed to
he smallpox. DR. ID. NJ. Moses, the
County Superintendent of Health, after
examination, pronounced the cases to be
genuine smallpox. But to be certain, the
State smallpox expert, DIR. Long, was
sent for and he confirmed the diagnosis.
The negroes live three miles east of
this place. There are no cases in New
ton. and none nearer than these cases.
There is no immediate danger to the
citizens of Newton. but at the request
of the physicians the county commission
ers ordered compulsory vaccination with
in a radius of three miles of the home
of these negroes. Said order is to in
clude Newton and Conover. DIR. j. ii.
Yount was appointed to assist DIR. Moses
in the vaccination in the country, and

The County Superintendent was em-
powered to order the points and vac
cination will commence as soon as they
arrive. The house where the negroes
are has been quarantined, and there Is
little danger of the disease spreading.

The President has not yet made a So

Washington, April 4.-Lord Salisbury
has accepted the plan proposed by Ger
many for the settlement of the Samoan
trouble by the appointment of a tripartite
commission. The acceptance lis of the
broad principle only, and the details of
the arrangement are vet TO be agreed
upon. As the UnIied States has al
ready accepted the general proposition
there is no longer doubt as to the organ
ization of the cOmmmission.
1t is not believed here that there will
be any difficulty in arranging the details
of the commission plan for the settlement
of the Samoan trouble arising from re-
luctancc on the part of the British Gov
ernment 70 throw aside the Berlin
treaty The State Department does not
expect that it will be necessary to go far
outside of the lines of that convention
to secure satisfactory adjustment of
the present difficulties. As there appears
to be an apprehension that the proposed
commission may not be limited in it's
functions sufficiently to meet the British
ideas. it may be said that the plan in
contemplation safeguards all essential
points.
1t is provided that the commission
shall NlSlt the tSf;ElluS, Hldht IL tdtFlNl
inquiry into existing conditions and then
apply such rem5dial measures as NAV
seem to be necessary to ensure tran
guilty. 1t will be distinctly understood
that whatever the commission does in
that lipe will be purely temporary in
character and subject TO the approval
of the three Governments, party To tbs
Berlin treaty.
Then the commission will be expected
to frame a scheme for submission te and
approval by each of the three powers
for the future government of the is
lands. involving perhaps some more OF
less radical changes i'll the original Ber-
lin treaty. Neither of the three Govern
ments therefore chances the loss of aIy
substantial interest in the Samoan grorT
by accepting this commission plan, and
this is probably the explanation of the
announced acceptance by the British
Government of the principle Of the com
mission plan.
