5. S. ARETHUSA FOR CHINA

New York, July 25.-The distilling
ship Arethusa will reach the BROOKLYN
Navy Yard from Philadelphia today
and will take on cargo of general
stores, field guns and other ordnance.
While no great amount of stores will
be sent from the yard. II Is Thought
that shipments sent from other yards
will make this cargo one of the largest
ever shipped from the navy yard.
These shipments will nomnally be
made to the Philippines. although Il
is considered almost certain that a
large part Of them will be sent to Chi
ma, where the field guns particularly
are badly needed.
As the Arethusa will undoubtedly
form part of Admiral Remey's Chi.
nese fleet, the fact that she is a dis
filling ship will make her valuable
addition to the Asiatic squadron fresh
water in China being a scarcity. She
was fitted up for use in the Spanish
war, Dut DefOre she was ready hOStili-
ties had ended and she was moored at
the League Island yard in ordinary for
more than year. AS soon as there
was danger of trouble in China she
was overhauled and made ready for
service and having large, capacity she
has considerable cargo room. Is an ex-
cellent sea ship and is in every way a.. &.
ted for her new service. The Arethu-
sa will remain at the navy yard about
ten days.
The Rainbow, now lying In ordinary
at the yard, will probably see service
in China next fall She is also dis
filling ship, has even larger capacity
than the Arethusa, was recently re-
fitted and overhauled and Is now ready
for service.

as essential that this appropriation be
made during the present session of

satisfactory.

The PLAGUE,
If Continues to Spread all
Over the World.
AT SAN FRANCISCO
There has been one death al.
ready and many exposed.

San Francisco, March 13.-At special
meeting of the board Of health held to
consider the plague situation there were
present, besides the members, DR.. Kim
youn, federal quarantine officer; DR.. Cas-
saway of the United States marine hos
pital service and Professor Armstrong Of
the University of California. DR.. Kin
youn reported that all of the animals at
the quarantine station on Angel island
which were inoculated with virus from
the body of the Chinaman who died a
few days ago under suspicious circum-
stances had died, with the exception Of
the monkey, and it was in dying condi-
tion An autopsy on the rats and guinea
pigs showed that they had developed
symptoms of the genuine bubonic plague
After discussing the matter the board
decided that the Chinaman who died at
1901 Dupont street had been afflicted
with the plague. A request was made
for 100 volunteers from among members
of the medical profession to make house
to house examination and aid the board
in thoroughly fumigating and disinfect-
ing the entire quarter.
The boards of hcalth's plan is that the
work of inspecting Chinatown, with q
view to improving its sanitary condition,
shall begin at once. The section will he
districted, and every day until all danger
is past every house will be visited and
every occupant inspected. Reliable Chi
hese will accompany the physicians, and
the police will render what assistance
they can. These Chinese will be sup
piled for the work by the Six Companies.
Until another case Of plague develops
Chinatown will remain free Of quaran-
tine, but people are required to have as
little communication as possible with the
suspected district. When the Chinese
learned of the action of the board of
health there was an exodus from China
town of those who are employed outside
of the district.
President Williamson of the board Of
health says: "Rcgarding the case in ques-
ton, there is no cause for panic 1t may
be sporadic and no others may develop,
hut il subsequent investigations show
that new cases follow the one mentioned
l have every reason to believe that the
inspection just inaugurated by the de-
partment will minimize the danger to
such an extent that the disease will not
succeed in getting foothold in the CITY,"
No alarm is expressed by physicians
who discuss the matter, and some doubt
is still expressed by them as to the nature
of the disease from which the Chinaman
died.
