Quarantine Raised Against Sherman
but still On as to Other Points.
AT meeting of the board of
health held this morning in the
Office rooms of DR.. 7. S. Booth,
the quarantine situation was liber-
ally discussed.
Letters from officials in Sherman
with af1idavits attached testified to
the ncn-prevalencc of smallpox in
that city since Dec. 10 last.
The matter was taken under dill
igent advisement and resulted in
the board raising the quarantine
against Sherman.
The board deemed it advisable to
keep up the quarantine against the
towns NJ the road for a few more
days. This includes Pauls Valley
Wynnewood and MeGee and towns
on the llue IN Oklahoma.
1t was also decided to put on 9
special mounted police to patro
the different wagon roads leading
into the city, to visit the Wagon
yards regularly and inspect all sus
picious places.
The city marshal was asked tt
redouble his diligence about tn,
railrosd yards and keep the bum
on the move.
Superintendent Hendrix, who
was present, was urged to i'm
press upon the pupils the ne
cessity of being vaccinated, as thu
ten days allowed by the board
would soon expire and those who
were not vaccinated at that time
would be compelled to quit school

Springfield, Natal, Jan. 49,
General Butler and General Warren
crossed the Tugela river this after
noon. The howitzer battery was
gotten across the river at Pot
gieters last night. The artillery
effectively shelled the Boer posi-
tions north Of the Tugela, while
Gen. Butler was crossing. Gen.
Warren,s division forded at Wagon
drift in a most fearless fashion,
facing hot fire from the Boer
artillery and infantry. The Beers,
however, made no determined effort
to contest the crossing with the
British and fell back, firing on the
main position. Gen. Warren later
in the day occupied the position at
Spionskop, opposite the Boer
center, five miles north of the
river AS yet the Beers have not
replied to the British bombardment.
They are evidently strongly en-
trenched. 6
The fighting has shifted from
Colenso to the northeast. 1t is
evident that General Butler intends
to force his army into Ladysmith

the city from the southeast. He is

The unexampled conduct of the
Americans has given Gen. Chaffee an
influence at the meetings of generals,
which are held every other day, ahead
of that of any other general 1t is
not disparaging. Gen. Chatfee's hard
common sense, which, according to
other generals, has helped them solve
so many knotty problems, nor his per-
sonal dignity, both among the dlplo-
mats and generals, but it is unques-
tionable that his influence has been
greatly increased through being the
leader of body of men who have dis
tinguished themselves not only in the
face of the enemy, but equally so as
against the temptations that exist in
a city like Pekin under existing con-
ditions.

FIRE IN A SKY-SCRPEH.


New York, Oct. FLOR the third
time in its history the Hardware club
in the Postal telegraph building was
last night badly damaged by fire, the
losses being estimated at 100000. The
fire was discovered by club employees
who were cleaning up the building
preparatory to leaving the rooms for
the night. The Hardware club is To-
Gated on the fourteenth floor of the
sky-scraper. On the twelfth and thir-
teenth floors, which are practically
one. were the operating departments
of the Postal Telegraph Co. EN-
ploycd and working there were about
one hundred and twenty-five men,
The switchboard on the floor, which
is one of the most expensive pieces of
machinery OF its kind in existence be-
ing valued at $l50,000, was under the
gallery. At first it was kept going
while the firemen fought the fire over
head. The managers say that the wa
ter was coming through the floor and
down the stairs at n tremendous rate,
and that II the water formed con-
nection the entire switchboard would
be rendered useless temporarily. 1t
is said that the switchboard was not
damaged to any extent. The damage
to the building was slight. No one was
injured and at no time were the lives
of the telegraph operators in danger.

Washington, Oct. 17.-Late reports
from Commander Seaton Schroeder,
who succeeded Capt. Leary as naval
governor of Guam, have been received
at the navy department. Gov.
Schroeder has issued an order open
ing all hospitals in the island to the
civilian patients free, and all who are
suffering from disease are invited and
urged to go to the hospitals for treat
ment. One of the governors of v
Guam province was found using pub
lie road laborers on his own place. He
claimed that this was an old Spanish
custom. and that he was unaware of
any wrongdoing. He was removed and
punished. The health of the island is
said to be fairly good, There are no
typhoid cases, and only one OF fever
and few OF intestinal troubles.
