First of May,
at wish you would tell US Of just what
occurred
Out there at Manila; for what We have
heard
Is second hand mostly, and that isn't what
The folks want to hear when they want 1t
right hot.
We know how you swathed the spaniards
all round
The Bay of MANILA how you wiped up the
ground
And the sea and so forth with all that
Spain had
In a manner to make the Spanish feel bad;
We know that you fioated the Flag a notch
higher
Than ever it floated, and we never can tire
OF singing your praises for what you
have done
To naughty CASTLE and to proud Aragon,
And we're anxious to listen-to hear it
from you
Who has thrown a new Hight on the Red,
White and Blue"
Then Dewey he blushed and he snuirmed
in his chair
And said that we gave him too much for
But that didn't COVE insisted the more,
Till pleading had grown to be quite bore.
And then he submitted and yielded his hold,
And this is the story Inc admiral told:

And we knew If George want bern

That the story wc got sc the scrap IN the

BUBONIC PLAGUE
ON BOARD STEAMER
Thought That the Captain and
Cook Are Afflicted.
UNDERGOING DISTINCTION
Crew Will be Removed and Cargo Dis

gical Expert Fitzpatrick
Making Investigation
UNDERGOING DISTINCTION

New York. November 19.-The steamer
]. W. Taylor, which arrived yesterday from
Santos, Brazil, with the captain and cook
dill with suspected bubonic plague, has been
disinfected as far as possible without dis
charging the cargo. The cabins forecas-
ties, decks and engineers departments
have been thoroughly cleansed and disin-
fected. The crew have been bathed and
their clothes and effects have been subject
ed to steaming.
The patients are at Swnburne island and
there is no change in their condition. Dep
uty Health Officer Sanborne says the crew
will be kept on board the steamer until to-
morrow, when the agents will supply new
crew. The crew will be removed to Hon
man island and detained for observation
for ten days.
There has been no further development
among them. After the removal of the
charged into lighters. The sacks will be
charged into lighters. The sacks will be
emptied Into other receptacles and then
subjected to steam disinfection on board
of the James w. Wadsworth. After the
discharge of the cargo the holds of the
steamer will be disinfected.
Mr. Fitzpatrick, the meteorological expert
of the quarantine sta tlon, is making Gull
lures of matter taken from the patients.
The result of his examina tfons will deter
mine the question of the discharge of the
cargo. Dr. Herman NJ. Biggs, bacteriolo-
gist of the health department, gave out the
following statement today regarding DR..
Parks examinatio of the supposed bu-
bonic plague PATIENTS:
"The archaeological examinations thus
far made by DR.. Parks show apparently
that the contents ofthe broken down bubos
do not contain any living germs. 1t is pos
pible, however, that some may develop in
the cultures.
"Microscopical examinations of the pus
are also rather negative. These negative
results are such as might be expected in
the plague at the stage of the disease pre-
scented in these men and would be very I'M
usual in other conditions. They, therefore,
afford some confirmatory evidences as TO
the existence of the plague
DIR. Biggs said ne had little doubt that
the two patients supposed to have the dis
ease are now almost WELL The bacteria
logical examinations will be continued so
long as the patients of the infected ship
present the opportunity. This is the first
time the physicians of this city have had
an opportunity to study the disease direct
ly. Up to this time they have depended up
on foreign medical reports which are not
always authentic.
Health Commissioner Cosby said that he
had no doubt the ship had been thoroughly
disinfected. But even so it would not be
permitted to come to the city The health
department will take no chances, he said.
