Plague Precautions at
American Ports

San Francisco. Feb. "a circular
from the Treasury Department giving
regulations for preventing the intro
duction of plague into the United
States was received yesterday by the
Board of Health. 1t Is signed by Wal
ter Wyman, supervising surgeon gen.
eral, Marine Hospital service, and APP
proved by Secretary Gage.
, The circular states that passengers
should not be vacinnated at nor er
route from ports or places infected
with plague. Such vaccination in
creases the liability to plague infection
and serves TO confuse diagnosis at the
port of arrival. This operation must
| be performed at the port of arrival just
prior to release from quarantine.
Persons en- route to any port in the
United States from an infected or sus-
pected district, should be held fifteen
days under observation before being
allowed to embark, Otherwise the ship
will be considered as coming from an
infected port. Baggage from infected
or suspected localities must be disin-
fected prior to shipment to the United
States. Vessels should not dock in
plague cities, nor lines passed to shore
that might permit rats on board to
land. Pet animals should not be taken
aboard at infected ports.
In domestic ports, suspected or in
fected vessels must be quarantined in
remote places to prevent escape of
ra,s; persons going abroad must re-
main on the vessel fifteen days, and
inspection of persons shall be done af-
ter the clothing Is removed to permit
OF a thorough examination of all CLAN
dular regions.
Vessels may in the discretion of the
quarantine officer have the time of the
voyage deducted from the period of
quarantine detention, though they
have come from suspected ports, pro-
viding the necessary precautions were
taken on the voyage. No person from
suspected place shall be admitted in
to the United States until a period of
fifteen days has elapsed, though cabin
passengers bearing n certificate OF a
marine hospital surgeon officer that
their bodies and baggage were not ex-
posed for fifteen days previous to en-
barking, may be admitted. Steerage
passengers and crew must be bathed
and disinfected before landing.
The treatment Of plague infected
vessels Is made especially stringent.
Sulphur dioXide must be used on the
vessel, and in the mornings to kill
rats, and guards must be stationed
on deck and in small boats around the
ship to destroy escaping rodents. Not
even sweepings may be thrown over
OF ho Il u
refuse matter. Persons in quarantine
will be segregated into groups and kept
apart. Bodies must be cremated in
quarantine, or buried in caustlc lime.
Should the vessel have water ballast
she must discharge it at sea, and rock
or earth ballast must be disinfected.

Light WISDOM

Let us tell you something about Elec.
trio lncandescent Lamps. Perhaps you
have noticed that your bill for electric
lighting has varied peculiarly from month
to month. When II is large you say bad
words about your meter and you think
that the Light Company Is cheating you.
The Company Is not cheating you-YOU
ARE CHEATING YOURSELF. A lamp
which has lived Its normal number Of
ampere hours, though II may not be dead,
consumes nearly twice as much current
as when 1t Is first used. If when your
lamps show signs of having burned too
long you would take them out and pur.
chase new lamps you would find that the
saving In your month ly bill would more
than compensate for the price of the new
lamps.

ADMIRAL KEsIPFF AT TAKU.
Prepared to Send Marines to Peking
to Protect Our Legation.

WASHINGTON, May ga cablegram
received at the Navy Department to-day
stated that the Newark had been assigned
to act as flagship of the senior squadron
commander and that the vessel sailed from
Nagasaki last Saturday and arrived at the
Taku forts yesterday. Rear Admiral
Kempff is the senior squadron officer de-
scribed in the dispatch and his visit to
Taku, the nearest point to Peking attain
able for large vessels. had attracted much
attention. 1t is understood there is already
formidable fleet of European warships
at Taku and since the withdrawal of the
represented at that point.
While prepared to act concurrently with
though independently of, the European
powers in the protection of the life and
property of foreigners in China, Admiral
Kempff has not, at present, any intention
of making hostile demonstration at the
Pei-Ho river. 1t is more probable he is at
near as possible to the American legation
at Peking. and 1t may be that he is simply
placing himself in readiness to rapidly dis
patch marine force from his ship to
Peking to guard the American legation.

MINE FIRE UNDER CONTROL.

CALUMET, Mich, May 2s.-The fire
which started in No. shaft of the Hecla
branch of the Calumet and Hecla mine
last night is under control, but has worked
It's way to other parts of the shaft. Four
men were prostrated. but were rescued
and are improving.
The shafthouse I'm No. was torn down
In few hours and the opening covered
with heavy beams. The shafts adjoining
are being similarly covered. The gas is
working through the entire mine and is
coming through fifty acres of surface
through innumerable crevices in the earth
caused by the gradual caving of the older
workings of the mine near the surface. 1t
probably will be necessary to build spe-
cial kiln for the preparation of carbonic
acid gas with which to smother the fire.

The Calumet and Hecia is the richest
copper mine in the world and is valued
at SIS 0O0, ,000 1t has shafts over a mile deep
and employs 5000 men. Over 5000 men are
idle on account of the fire. The manage
ment decided to close all except the South
Hecla and the Amydaloid shafts on ac-
count of the gas. which has gone to all
parts of the Calumet branch and part Of
the Hecla.

RATHBoNE's PERQUIsITEs.


NEW YORK, May 2s.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: zone and
an interesting branch of the Cuban inves-
tigation will be that relating to the per-
quisities enjoyed by the officials and clerks
employed there by virtue of their official

to miscellaneous expenditures. In the ac-
counts of Director General Rothbone, for
example. the sum of s17.31339 is charged to
per diem That was the total for the
year 1899. This. IT appears. was not ex-
pended in that year for day wages, but for
allowances or 'perquisites' enjoyed by

expensive one. resembling I'm those re-

CINCINNATI, May 2S.-The grand stand
of the Cincinnati club. Western avenue and
Findlay street, was burned early this
morning. The bleachers and the offices
were saved, but the players uniforms are
said to be among the ruins, and, If not
burned, will be hopelessly damaged. There
seems to be no doubt that the fire was of
incendiary origin. 1t was started in the
center of the grand stand and spread in
both directions. Three times within the
past week fires have been discovered on
the bleaching boards and extinguished be-
fore any serious damage had been done.
The loss is about $4,000. AS the Cincinnatis

They Think the Postal Frauds Settle
the Occupation Question.

HAVANA, May 2S.-General Wood re-
ceived to-day a report from the auditors
who have been investigating the treasury
and customs departments. The auditors say
they have not finished their work, but be-
lieve that everything. so far as they have
gone, is satisfactory. Much qualification is
felt by the officials at the provisional re-
port. IT. is now believed the scandal does
not touch any other branch Of the service
than the postal. At the Cuban clubs. how
ever. they say that the postal frauds alone
"settle the question of American occIpa-
tion," contending that this must cease rs
soon as the military are withdrawn, be-
cause, as the Cubans put 1t, "the only civil
department not under military supervision
turns out to be gigantic fraud"
