Arms Scratched to Prevent a
Spread of the MaIady

Michael O'Leary, taken to the small
pox hospital Tuesday afternoon, suf-
fering from a mild case Of smallpox
was resting comfortably last night
He has the disease in it's mildest form,
but Of course the danger of contagion
is Just as great as if he had the most
virulent attack Of the dreaded malady.
He will be kept isolated for several
weeks until all dnnger Of contagion
has completely disappeared. The
Board of Health is at loss to &C
count for his taking the smallpox.
The germs might have been brought
here by some stranger in the city who
came from an infected district in-Bos-
ton or some town where smallpox is
prevalent
There may be a case of mild small
pox in the city which has not been dis
covered by the Board of Health. Only
as a person is Ill enough to require the
services of a physician who reports a
suspicious case to the board can small
pox be detected.
There are no new cases of the dis
ease and everyone hopes that there
will be none, but it is impossible to
tell how soon another case may be
found
AS yesterday was a holiday at City
Hall no arrangements were made for
public vaccination, but today, probab-
ly something will be done about the
matter. The Board Of Health strong
ly urges everyone to look after. the
matter of vaccination, believing as a
precautionary measure it should be
looked after.

CORRESPONDENT SO REPORTS;
sia-Tlseir Flag Raised In Mon.
gOlia and the District Organised--
Siberian TroOps Praised.

Berlin, March 1.-THE Tageblatt's spe-
cial correspondent, who has been travelling
in northern Manchuria, Mongolia and on
the borders Of Siberia and China for year
and whose reports hitherto have been cor
rect without exception, has furnished his
paper with long letter, which il pub
lished, containing interesting details re-
garding the Russo Chinese agreement on
the subject Of Manchuria, Mongolia and
Turkestan.
He says he il certain the published YER
sion Of this agreement 10 in no way like
that in actual existence. He proceeds to
give facts concerning the proposed inter
national administration Of that part Of
China, demonstrating that Manchuria will
become an integral part Of Russia, more 20
than even Bokhara.
In regard to Mongolia he says there IL
no doubt = protectorate has been estab-
lished, a. this was effected by the hoist
ing Of Russian Aags everywhere, the thor
ough organization Of the district, the e.
tablishment Of tax collecting Offices and
the opening Of branches Of Russo Chinese
banks with no one but Russian officials in
charge. All this virtually has taken place
during the past nix months and began be-
fore the Boxer outbreak.
The clearest evidence, however, 10 con-
tanned in an army order issued by General
Grodekof to the Siberian troops in which
the general said: "You have nobly full
filled your task II defending ! line 100
kilometers long, on the frontien Of the
Russian empire, from Udga tMongolia) to
Khoshuna and have thrown back the en-
envy across this threatened line"
Besides establishing direct communities
ton with HASA (Thibet), where Delai-
lamf scored victory for Russia by IN inn
mense bsibe Of bars Of silver, direct tale
graph communication also exists between
the Russians Ut Kuldja and those in China,
even reaching Sinan-fu, where the Chinese
have been sojourning, by way Of Barkcol.
Khami, Stoochow and Lanch0w.
Without the knowledge Of either the Eu-
ropeans or Americans or their japanese al
lies, the correspondent says Prince Tuan
went to Kan-su province lin the north
western portion Of the Chinese empire, bor-
deSing ON Mongolia), where the best Chi
nese troops are formed from the 8.OOO.0 600
Of Moslems there, which troops are firmly
loyal to Prince Tuan and refuse to serve
against the allies or the Chinese court.
Perhaps the most important information
furnished BY the Tageblatt correspondent
is that the Russian government has caused
to be printed, distributed and posted
decree ordering for March Is general re-
mobilization Of troops, because @this is rem
dered necessary in order to put down new
disturbances which have broken out in
China" meaning thereby partly the Kan
gu rebellion under Prince Tuan.
