ONLY ENTY- FIVE CEN

Every now ard then we hear of a
new wrinkle in the quarantine reg
ulat;ons, the last being that every
person who rides on The cigars"
must produce - health certificate
signed by somebody, it makes little
. difference who, and all IA person
has To do 10 get one OF these Ger
tificates Is 10 say that he has BEEN
in the world ont side of New Or
lesns ten days, pay qnatter and l;
AT once becomes his property. We
questioned our comfy health officer
about this matter and he stated TO
us that be had issued certificates
10 persons whom he had never seen
and that they might be right from
Key West, Fla, for what all he
knew. He seemed so thoroughly
dlsgusted with the state Of ati airs
,hst he didn't care to lose time to
discusses 1t at any length. He said
that the officers in charge Of the
quarantine issued no Instructions
to him, aud consequently he had ut
power to make change. 1t seems
that the State Board OF Health has
taken back seat and the Marine
IIosrital Service is now at the helm
of aff ,irs. Now if some one will
produce recipe that will totally
destroy the Latter pest then the
whole thing will be at an end. Sup
pose we needed a quarantine, the
one we now have would be of 70
benefit in the world. The whole
thing il farce aad is becoming q
sore Or the back of the public. The
people ought To rise in their might
and crush olt these sbominaple nu-
isancrs. We say DO away with the
quarantine until there Is need for It.,
and then put on Que that is etiectual
and sensible.

Says lie is Too Conservative N Re-
ports Of Anything.
Conditions Have Not
Been Misrepresented.
Correspondents Sought Martyr
dom Without Obtaining 1t.

Washington, July 2l.-The war depart
ment has Issued statement quoting cer-
tain dispatches from Cen. Otis In answer
to the prsss correspondents "round rob-
in" The General says in substance that
the correspondents wish to send stata-
ments that imperil operations that they
had no specification to support their
charges against him and that these
charges were untrue. He denies that he
minimizss the work of the navy and
quotes from naval dispatches to justify
his statement.
The text OF the statement Is as follows:
Gen. Otis in q despatch under date OF
July 20.says that the press correspondents
demanded permission TO cable that ofIio.
ial reports sent misrepresented condi-
tions. This was denied. They then de-
mandsd the privilege to send without re-
servation facts found BY them and their
opinon. This was granted II public in
terests were not imperiIled. The answer
was not satisfactory and they therefore
sent by mail to Hong Kong.
Gen. Otis says he is not conscious of
misrepresenuing reports, but THINKS
that his despatches at times have
been too conservative. The press affair
appeared to be threat. When the cor
respondents were asked to be informed
wherein Gen. Otis's dispatches were mis-
leading they offered nothing tangible ex-
cept that his conclusions were unwar-
rauted.
When told that they were. .disregarding
military authority it was apparent that
they courted martydom which was un-
wise to give them. In a later despatch
Gen. Otis says that the charges by the
press correspondents are untrue. He adds
that the most harmonious relations exist
between the army and navy.
