Hett. DR.. Woodward said that he had
houses before being taken to the Emer-
gency Hospital. and that it would be
necessary for the department to inaugu-
rate an investigation with a view to the
vaccination of the inmates, and perhaps
the isolation of the house in which he had
last stopped.
The Health Department is putting forth
every effort to stop the spread of small
pox.
Inspectors were sent out yesterday to
prosecute the work of vaccination in the
vicinity of the several centres of con-
tagion, and a considerable number of peo-
pie called at the Health Department to
submit to the operation there.
Sore Arms for the G. p. O.
In harmony with the Health Depart
Gent of the District. Public Printer Pal
rner issued an order yesterday compelling
all the employees of the Government
Printing Office to be vaccinated.
This was done in view of the fact that
there are several smallpox cases in the
vicinity of the office. The collection of
old paper and waste that accumulates
around 2 printing Office is very suscepti-
BILE to the germ OF the disease and vac
cination was considered a necessary pre-
caution
There has been no sign of the disease
among the employees of the office as yet,
burmany have net been vaccinated since
they were children and consequently there
is much danger of contagion.
The Sick Leave Question.
1t is not yet determined what will be
done in regard to the sickness usually
resulting from vaccination. Sick leave is
not accorded to the employees and there
will either be some special provision made
by Mr.. Palmer for their relief or they viii
lose the time from their annual leave.
This is the first department to issue
an order compelling the clerks 10 be vac
oinated, hut it is thought that several
other offices are contemplating the act.
Neighborhoods Feel Uneasy.
a number of persons called at the
Officer and his assistants as to the best
means to keep clear of the contagion.
The neighborhoods where the yellow
cards are exposed naturally feel uneasy,
especially since the multiplication Of
cases. and several men called TO express
a willingness to cooperate with the De-
partment in hedging IN the malady.
Chief Danger Removed.
The Health Officer assured his callers
that the policy of complete isolation OF
those who are suffering from the disease
and those who are known to lave been
exposed removes the chief danger.
He advised all who called to pe vacei-

A HALT IN PEACE TERMS.
ROERS AND BRITISH SAID TO BE AT
oDDS REGARDING PROPOSALS.

London, April 1G.-"The Daily Mali In us
issue of this morning says it understands that
a serious hitch has occurred in the peace nego-
tiations in South Africa. The Cabinet council
has decided to refuse strongly worded re-
quest from the Boer leaders at pretoria lot
an armistice pending the negotiations
This alone is not likely to cause the Beers TO
withdraw from the conference, says The Daily
Mail" but what threat ms to stop the negotla-
tions is the fact that the government declines
to place the Cape rebels upon the same roofing
as the burghers with respect to amnesty, and Is
not inclined 20 withdraw the banishment proc
lamation. These features are regarded py the
Beers as two cardinal points in the irreducible
minimum of terms. which Lord Miner went to
Pretoria to ascertain, and in return for whlch
the Beers agree to the loss Of independence and
a general surrender
Their other demands, continues The Daily
Mail" are that Great Britain shall rebuild ana
restock the farms take the legal claims
and liza abilities of the two republics and grant a
representative government within a shorter
period than is contemplated
