-Rosenberg Reticent.

The excitement caused In Madison by tho

sided yesterday, although smallpox con-

sion among the timid.
Guards were stationed about the houses in

known to be, and their complete isolation
will be continued.
Up to yesterday evening no new cases had
been reported by physicians, ana no further
outbreak is expected. Mayor Coyle's
prompt action in causing the removal Of
Granite City's embargo against his town
was universally approved. as was also his
proposal to have all cases treated in the
homes Of the patients. instead OF trans
ferring them TO the pesthouse.
Several cases are known to exist in Granite
City, but Mayor Rosenberg yesterday re-
fused to tell how many persons had been
reported as suffering from the disease, or
~iat disposition had been made of those
cases discovered since last Saturday.

he said, knew mere of Granite City's al
fairs than did its own Mayor.
When asked whether the subject of Gran
cussed in the City Council of that place
when the quarantine against Madison was
decided on. Mayor Rosenberg said the mat
ter had been considered.
The number of smallpox cases then re-
ported was made known to him. he said,
but he declared that he had forgotten
just how many sufferers there were. and
asserted that he had no means of learning.
