THE SMALLPOX AT NOME.
A Serious Condition of Affairs Re-
ported by Lieutenant Jarvis

ported by Lieutenant Jarvis
Two dispatches were received by Sec
rotary Gage yesterday from Lieut. ]. H.
Jarvis, Special Agent OF the Treasury De-
partment at Nome, which were most
alarming on account Of the news conveyed
that smallpox was spreading at that point.
The Treasury Department will take all
possible measures TO meet the demand
for medical assistance TO stop the disease
and warn people from going to that point.
The first telegram came by way of Port
Townsend and was the last sent of the
two, dated July e. and read as follows:
Twenty cases smallpox to date. Meas
ures taken to isolate and care for all the
cases. but facilities are poor. Need medi-
cal officers 10 take charge"
The other message, dated June 20. three
days earlier, came a longer route. via
San Francisco. which accounts for both
messages being received together, and
read as follows:
Ten cases Of smallpox at this port in
last three days. One death today. All
were foreigners on the steamship Oregon.
Oregon sailed Seattle Have established
camps and removed CASES there Urge
proper officers and sufficient vaccine mat
ter be sent. Fifteen hundred people in i'm
mediate vicinity. Absolutely no civil
authority here. and l have had TO take
measures to isolate and prevent spread OF
disease. Steamers Ohio and Santa Anna
released from quarantine. Passengers all
vaccinated and vessel cleaned as well a.
possible. Patients on Egg Island improv-
ing. No new cases arrived by vessel
These two dispatches indicate that the
disease Is spreading. Several days ago
an order was wired to Seattle to send 1000
vaccine points to Nome on the first steam
er, and an order will be wired today
to send enough points TO vaccinate every
person at Nome. One physician has been
ordered from San Francisco to Nome. and
1t is expected that the Marine Hospital
Service will rush several more there.

An Italian residing in Mexico has re-
Gently devised new composition intended

central Mexico and known to the Indians
by variety of names, Of which yule Is

II does not belong to the plants which
yield milky juices, being comparatively
hard wood and growing as a small, scrubby

is Synatheroeas Mexicanas. and ii fur
nishes in gum the remarkable yield Of 40
per cent of It's own weight. 1t is abundant,
cheap, and may be treated either in
green state or in dry state, SO that it
may be cut and baled and stored for any
length of time and shipped without af-
fecting its yield of gum.
