Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1900-01-11

British strategy has consisted main
ly in coming on just as their oppo-
nents desired. The succession of
disasters with the heavy losses even
when an advantage has been gained,
will not make the war, or the govern;
ment responsible for bringing it on,
highly popular in England. But, of
course, there can be no question OF
the British determination to see the
thing through at any cost.

was in the city last night en- route TO
Austin from Navasota, Speaking of the
Willowdene's cargo OF coffee. mention of
which Was made in the Geographic dis
patches Of yesterdays Post, DR.. Blunt said
to reporter; 1T is not a fact that the
cargo of coffee from the willowdene was
brought surreptitiously to Galveston from
New Orleans by rail. 1t was brought on a
written permit issued by me 10 the con-
signees of the vessel. The permit stipu-
lated, however, that the coffee must be
handled and fumigated in the same man
ner In which coffee coming from infected
ports Is treated for delivery az New Or
leans, The New Orleans dispatch was far
wrong In stating that the coffee was
brought in without the knowledge of the
Texas health department.,
THE danger of infection in such cases
usually arises from allowing the vessel to
land II the cargo is properly tumigated
there Is no danger OF infection from II
when shipped by rail TO interior points"
DR., Blunt has Just returned from Crimes
county, where he went to investigate re-
ported cases OF smallpox. He found sew
era eases OF the disease, but the county
authorities had taken the situation In
hand and were doing all possible to pre-
vent its spread.
