New York this morning on the steamship
Ailer from Genoa. italy.
Mr. Davis left Pretoria about February
j. after having spent several weeks as
guest Of the Boer Republic He made the
trip from Lourenco Marques TO Pretoria
IN PRESIDENT Kruger private car and was
treated Hospitality by the Beers. being
given an opportunity 10 visit all the bat
tlehelds ar even 20 see several battles
from the BOer side.
Mr. Davis denied that his visit 10 Pre-
toria had any Official significance. and that
he was an emissary Of President McKin-
ley. He declared that his journey was
merely vacation. and that he wanted to
see his old friend the Consul General OF
the United States at Cape Town. Mr.
Stowe
He also denied a published interview
which was alleged 10 nave bedp obtained
from him in italy and in Witch he was
made to say that the British did not bury
their dead properly. He also denied that
his mission vas in any way a Govern
mental enc. He said that wien he reach
ed Cape Town he had no ida Of going TO
the Iransyaal but the republic was SO
near that he decided to ex.end his trim.
When he reached Delagos Bay President
kruger's car was placed az his disposal
and in it he made the trip to Pretoria.
While in South Af-iCa Mr. Davis saws
that he saw CronIe. Joubert. and Stevp
and found them all abs men He also met
Generals Roberts and Kitchener along the
Modder River and spent some time In their

men with them. Mr. Davis was guarded in
. his answers to questions as to whether or
not the Beers were entitled 20 sympathy
from this country
At Naples. before he sailed for Nav

ent; 1t was my pleasure to visit nearly
, all the battlefeldS. l saw some real fight
ing and can assure yOL IL was business
from the start. The world knows OF the
bravery OF the British soldier. but l can
say. as an eyewitness. that no Drawer men
live anywhere than the Beers.
Before leaving Pretoria. I had sew
eral talks with President Kruger and
found him a most interesting man. He ia
man Of strong character. OF great cour-
age and very shrewd. The Presiden. in
troduced me to Mrs. Kruger. She remind
ed me Of many dear. Old American mothers

! pecially in the Western States.
My opinion. even after hearing OF the
| recent British victories is that the war
will be prolonged and sanguinary and that
after the equalization o. the republic, a
| guerrilla warfare will follow indefinitely. -

There were no new developments this
morning in the smallpox case brought here
from New Orleans in a car bringing horses
to the Beuning race track. Wycher, the
patient wko was taken 10 the pesthoJ Sc
yesterday. is a very sick man. the case
having developed into a malignant form
Of the disease.
II was learned this morning by the
Health Department that some doubt ex-
listed as TO whether all the men in the car
with Wycher had been corralled and taken
10 the detention camp. The ear was COM
bination arrangement. having the horses in
one end and Quarteres for the men in the
other end. These would accommodate abou.
sixteen men, the number supposed to have
been In the car. OF these thirteen and the
patient. making fourteen are accounted for
BY the Heath Department. and are under
detention. The other two. If there were
sixteen in the car, are at large or have
left town.
II has been learned that smallpox has
been practically epidemic in New Orleans
and other parts Of Louisiana since last De-
cember. and that the District OF Columbia
Il nov suffering from the plain negligence
OF LtdlLu OBJECTS IN New orleans. FROM
December 81 20 March Is. there were 500
cases Of smallpox reported to the Health
Department OF New Orleans. Of which 142
died.
One Of the men on the car said 10 a
health officer that the figures Of the San
itary Department In New Orleans do not
begin to represent the extent Of the dis
ease. According TO his statements many
cases are not reported. specially those OF a
light form. The man said that the city
and the parishes outside were full OF
smallpox, and that IL was spreading and
growing worse
From official figures published by the
United States Marine Hospital Service II
is shown that IN St Landry Parish. just
outside OF New Orleans. between Deem
Der 81 and March %. 7S2 cases OF
smallpox we're reported with q deaths
In Shreveport during the same period
there were 149 cases and 10 deaths. These
figures show that conditions are bad where
Wycher and his companions came from
and. as DR.. Woodward said this morning
should have led TO some sort OF inspection
Of the car before il left New Orleans.
Among the other precautions instituted
/ by the Health Department here is a rigid
inspection Of all cars coming 20 the race
| track. especially from the South. IL is
( also probable that all cars bringing freight
{ from Louisiana VIII be inspected after

resembling those Of rabies. In each in
stance. says the report. the body OF the
animal so suffer ng has been submitted to
the Bureau OF Animal Industry Of the
Agricultural Department for examination
Dr. Woodward says that reports have
been received in ten cases. showing that
the diagnosis was correct. and that each
dog was suffering from rabies. Seven
cases. he says. have not been reported on.
Attention is called to the fact that no
negative reports were submitted Dr.
Woodward Is Of the opinion that this does
not indicate the absence Of rabies in the
animals not reported upon. but only that
the results OF the examination were not
positive. and that a report upon them
could not be promptly made. Negative re-
suits. he says, might arise from failure Of
examining experiment or from not waiting
long enough for the reaction TO manifest
itself

in Judge Simoaton's court this morning
wien the verdict in the case against for
,ner Senator John J. CoyIe for an alleged
attempt to bride Representative John En-
gler, of Lycoming county, was formally
submitted. II found the defendant not
guilty. but divides the costs, amounting to
at least So 00O between COyle and the
prosecutor. There was some doubt in the
minds Of the jurors as 10 the particular
identity Of the prosecutor. and Judge ST.
monitor asked the jury whom they meant.
Former Sheriff William Sheesley. of this
city. a member Of the jury, replied; That

meaning the Business Mems League. AZ

was agreed to be hardly fair TO require the
