A method of the average Celes-
tails duplicity in concealing cases of
sickness, no matter however trivial,
is revealed in the attempt to get Quong
Fat Man away from his usual place of
abode, and inflict his infected presence
upon others. All yesterday morning
was consumed by President Wood of
the Health Board to find out where
the man had been sleeping of late, and
where he had worked. 1t was learned
that the Chinaman had been an en-
ploye of the Pantheon saloon for long
time past, assisting at times as bar
keeper. After the first quarantine had
been placed around Chinatown, on De-
cember 18th, sleeping quarters had
been fitted up in the Pantheon stables
upstairs, for the Chinese employees, in
view OF possible second quarantine.
The Chinaman remained there until
last Saturday, when It is stated he left
and did not return. The Pantheon sta
bic proprietor and others interested
positively state that the Chinaman had
visit was made to the rooms Occu-
pied by the wife and family Of the de-
ceased, but she stated in INST positive
terms that her husband had not been
TO see her for month. President Wood
says that the appearance of the two
bunks In the room showed that both
had been used the night before. and
ne was positive that the patient had
been at his home right along, but be-
ing in what is considered the infected
district, the inspectors did not have
him on their lists.
Story Of the Hacks.
Some peculiar stories are told OF the
hacks which are said to have assisted
in spiriting away the fast-dying Celes-
tial. These hackmen, II found, will
certainly feel the weight of the law IL
the Board of Health is powerful enough
TO reach them. When the first hack
came to All Fails place on Thursday
morning, at Wyllie and Liliha streets.
there were two Cinnamon in the back
seat; one, evidently very i'll. leaning
upon the shoulder OF the other. Two
other hacks subsequently drove UP and
the passengers also went into the
house.
When the hacks went away shortly
afterward. the first hack had two men
in the rear seat, one Of whom is said 20
have been held in the arms OF the
other. This was part OF the ruse TO
throw an any suspicion that a sick Chi
naman was left behind. for II was not
long before Inspector Z. +. Bishop was
informed by the owner Of the house,
All Fai. that a sick Chinaman was ly-
ing in the road, and the man was then
removed TO the pest hospital. Detect
ives were busy yesterday in tracing up
the facts, and IL was definitely learned
that the man had been living with his

from many good citizens that
there is not, as yet, a case in

Gen. Miles has as member of his

great intelligence. Rex has long and
interesting pedigree which would ad-
nit him to any society founded upon
pride of birth. Rex first came under
the generals notice years ago at n
bench show when a puppy. Since that
time Rex has had both a civil and mill
tary training, but the latter has not
been severe, as he is naturally of n
good disposition. lie is the pet of the

Gen. and Mrs. Miles have had him as
a companion in their private car on

vary the line of action it has laid
down. The naval force of the United

been strengthened, but if occasion
should arise, Adm. Kempff might be
