HISTORY OF THE PLAGUE.
Wymdn Tells OF the Bubonic
VARIETY.

A Washington dispatch saws: An
Interesting and valuable brochure Civ
ing q complete history of the bubOnfc
plague, together with means which
have been adopted for its prevention,
has been prepared and made public by
SUPERINTENDENT Wyman of the
marine hospital service.
The opinion is expressed that in the
light of experience in other parts of
lieve that even were disease introduce
ed here, its spread would be very
limited in cities where the sanitary
conditions are good and where precau-
tions as to the isolation of patients and
the segregation of those exposed to in
lection could be practiced. The death
rate varies in different epidemics and
is estimated at from SO to 80 per cent
There Is q variation also according to
natfonalities, Chinese seemingly being
the most susceptible.
DR.. Wyman expresses the opinion
that the quarantine methods of the
United States are we'll adapted to tie
emergencies, though the national laws
should be strengthened. Ia letter
submitting the matter to the secretary
of the treasury, be says:
1T should not be forgotten that the
epidemic Is SUI ely, though slowly ex-
tending and for the first time in history
1t has invaded the western hemisphere.
The necessity, therefore, of especial
vigilance has and stills being impress
sed upon quarantine officers of the
bureau and. of the utmost Importance
is the provision which should be made
by municipalities, especially those on
the sea-board, to correct. Immediately
unsanitary conditions which are now
well known to favor the propagation of
infectious diseases"

SHIELDS HIS CLASSMATES,
Cadet Dortch Says His Antics Were yoiun.
tary-Cadet Radford's Penalty.

Special to The Washington Post.
Annapolis, Md, Oct. 13.-Naval Cadet
John s. Abbott. of the third class, was
placed on trial before the court-martial
this morning on the charge of haZing
Naval Cadet Isaac F. Dortch, OF the
fourth class. The charge grows out of
the same incident that led to the trial OF
Cadet George S. Radford, just finished.
The alleged haZing was interrupted By
the entrance of Lieut.. Charles S. Book
walter, officer in charge, who had the
cadet in charge of the floor take the
names of cadets present Among these
was Cadet Abbott
The difficulty in the case is TO fasten up
on the cadets accused any active partici-
patton in the hazing. as all, with one ex-
ception, were personally unknown to Ca
det DOrtch. who besides is trying to shield
his torment0rs, under the unwritten cadet
rules. He says his antics were voluntary.
Lieut.. Rookwalte- and Cadets NJ G..
Cook and Isaac H. Dortch were examined
to-day. The evidence was practically the
same as in Cadet Radford's case. The
court adjourned until Monday.
BY the provisions of an order issued by
superintendent Richard Wainwright, OF
the Naval Academy, Third Class Cadet
George 5. Radford receives fifty dement's
and is TO be detained on the Santee for
thirty days. as the result Of the findings
OF the eOurt-maFtiaL Two hundred and
fifty dement's imposed upon a cadet in any
one year is equivalent 10 expulsion. but
Judging by Cadet Radford's past deport-
ment, he viii escape the serious punish
ment, as last year he received only fifteen
bad marks
The testimony against Radford was not
damaging 10 the extent OF proof of "haz-
ing. which calls for the severest penalty
dismissal from the service. II is thought
that unless new phases OF haZing crop out
during the investigation the remaining
cadets on trial viii get OF with equally
light punishment
