CUBAN TRAVELLERS MUST BE DETAINED
DR. DoTY SAYS THAT QUARANTINE REGU-
LATIONs CANNOT BE MODIFIED YET.


LATIoNs CANNOT BE MODIFIED YET.
There will be no modification of the sanitary regu-
lation which detans in quarantine travellers from
Cuba 10 this portal least, not for the present.
Health Officer AIvah H. Doty who returned yes
terday from Washington, where he had been IN
consultation with Surgeon-General Wyman on the
subject. says II is possible under existing cir
cumstances 10 allow travellers from Cuban ports
TO pass through without detention.
Il have very carefully considered the statement
recently issued by the Federal sanitary authorities
that no yellow fever exists in Cuba" said DR..
Doty, and have obtained by wire the opinions Of
many quarantine officers in the United States on
the subject Of the present quarantine regulations
Everything possible should be done 10 lessen the
obstruction 10 commerce. and there should be as
little interference possible with those who travel
from Cuba through this port. believe as do all
Northern quarantine officials. that the appearance
Of yellow fever in section would be practically
no menace TO the public health. and that ii would
be perfectly safe TO exempt from quarantine all
whose destination IS in the North. and 10 detain
only those who are going 10 Southern cities.
1T would be necessary, however. TO be certain
that all who gave Northern addresses their des-
tnatons would remain there until after the expi-
ration Of the time which represents the maximum
period OF incubation Of yellow fever. Unfortu-
nately, however. we cannot depend on mus ana
after passengers leave quarantine jurisdiction they
can go wherever they please
vana and other Cuban ports upon whose testi-
mony could rely implicitly we could not safely
draw q line without being unjust to some. II IS
70 insure the safety Of all that quarantine regula-
tons less arbitrary. The Southern
quarantine officials recognize the fact that. al
though persons may give their destination as the
North. IN instances they reach the
South before the period of incubation has expired.
and therefore, in certain sections they have ear
nestly protested against any change In the guar
antine regulations.
ut is not only possible but probable. that yellow
fever may exist IN Havana other Cuban
ports unrecognized. and in a short time cases may
be brought the notice Of the Federal authorities
If the present favorable sanitary report from Cuba
continues through the summer. Will feel tusti-
fed next year in modifying the quarantine regu-
latons which have heretofore existed. At present
however, / do not feel that ! make any change
in the manner of treating those coming from
