MALARIA IN NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. Oct H-According to
many physicians. large numbers Of per
sons in OF near this city are suffering
from malaria The number Of victims
claimed by the disease is not alarming
but its prevalence is keeping scores Of
physicians busy. Several doctors con
nectcd with the board Of health said yes
terday that they had seen reports tend
ing 70 show that malaria was very gen
crai. They doubted the accuracy Of the
reports. however, but anyone APPLYING
fOI admission TO some Of the private hos
pitfalls an this city will quickly learn that
the number Of malaria cases is large. and
that most Of the private hospitals have
decided not to take any more malaria
fever cases unless they are extremely ur-
gent
More fortunate IN this respect are the
city hospitals, especially Bellevue. IL was
announced some DAYS ago that Bellevue
Hospital was almost crowded by the un-
usually large number Of typhoid fever
and malaria cases. but IL was said yes
terday at the hospital that the capacity
Of the institution was $50 Z Is Of which
only 100 were occupied

OF course. the decision has been re-

quarters. Among the general public the
opinion was frequently expressed that the

On The other hand. the decision caused

Some time ago the board Of police sent
