Report of Committee on Smallpox


! A committee composed of five of the
most eminent medical men in Philadelphia
which was authoriz ed by Mayor Ashbridge
and Director of Public Safety English to
investigate the measures which have been
adopted by the health authoritiessin that
city to fight small pox and kindred dis
eases. to report upon the efficiency of
these measures and to suggest other meth
DDS of combating disease, has filed its re-
port.
This report, as set forth in a statement
to the public, tends to dispel any great
alarm over the present existence of small
pox in the municipality. 1t points out,
however, the necessity of adopting every
precaution against the spread of the dis
ease. Chief among the recommendations
is that of successful vaccination.
Among other statements made in the
report is the following:
1--WE have the statement of DR.. WEIGH,
the conscientious and efficient physician
in charge of our smallpox hospital, that
during the present epidemic no one has
been admitted to that institution with
small -pox who has been recently success
fully vaccinated.
1--WE reiterate that there can be no i'm
munity from smallpox except by vacci-
nation or a recent attack of the disease,
and there can be no more serious mistake
or one capable of causing more mischief
than the belief that there is any other
way of securing immunity. No medicine
can do it. We have heard that at one of
the hospitals in this city-doubtless with
the best Intentions medicine is given
which is claimed to avert small -pox. The
only reply that we. as physicians and
teachers of experience, can make to such
views is that they are based upon an inn
perfect knowledge of facts
Nov, as to the supposed dangers OF
vaccination-there are greater dangers in
pin scratch than in vaccination properly
performed. The cases of tetanus that
have succeeded vaccination have not, in
our opinion, been due to the vaccine
itself, but to subsequent infection. 1t is
fact that the medical profession presents
united front in favor of vaccination, the
instances of opposition to it being so few
as not to merit consideration.
1--WE desire to say to persons outside OF
Philadelphia that if fear of SMALL o1
makes them hesitate to visit the city, they
can be completely protected by successful
vaccination"

sna11-pox Scare.

There was smallpox scare at the
Camden City Hall on Sunday night, when
Health Physician Leavitt and DR.. Vernon
DeGrofft were hurriedly called in to ex-
anime Howard Walsh, 90 years old, of
Hoboken, who had applied for nights
lodging. His face showed signs Of small
pox and it only required the physicians
to look at him once to discover he was
afflicted with the disease. He was quar-
antined in the Board of Health Office and
afterwards taken to the municipal hos
pital
After Walsh had been taken away off,
Gals of the police department and other
attaches about the hall fumigated the
building and the odor of formaldehyde
and sulphur was so strong it was nearly
| impossible to breathe.
Walsh told DR.. Leavitt that he was re-
leased from the Mount Holly jail. where
he was committed under the name of Will
liam Brown. Last Wednesday night he
spent in the Burlington Jail with seyen
men, Thursday night he was at Riverton,
Friday at Camden and Saturday at Glou-
cester. DIR. Leavitt says he has been
carrying contagion through these towns.
The above item appeared in yesterday s
Philadelphia Inquirer.
An lnulVluuai VINO gave the name OF
William Brown was discharged from the
Mount Holly Jail on Wednesday morning,
after an incarceration of ten days. Dur
ing that time he did not complain of feel
ing i'll nor did he ask for medicine. He
was vaccinated soon after his arrival in
the jail. Whether it was successful is not
known.
On the day before his commitment had
expired his face showed slight eruption
to which the attention of Prison Physician
Parsons was directed. The latter ex-
amined Brown carefully, but did not dis
cover any symptoms of the dread disease.
The man said he felt entirely well. He
was discharged the next morning, and left
for Burlington.
To avoid any risk, however, in case the
Brown above named is the same man who
was here and who might possibly have
been in the preliminary stage of smallpox,
the Jail has been fumigated and the tramp
quarters closely watched.

GERMAN PRESS APPROVES
Vorwaerts, However, Predicts Loss of
Venezuelan Trade.

BERLIN. December 11-AIl the newspa-
pers here, with the exception of the social
ist Vorwaerts, are in sympathy with the
governments action toward Venezuela.
The morning papers contain many humor-
Gus references to what they term President
Castro's "magniloquent manifesto" cabled
TO the representatives of Venezuela In Paris
and made public last night.
The Vorwaerts. which never loses an op-
portunity to assail what IL considers to be
political shams," says 1t thinks the for
midable ultimatums of the two powers and
the naval demonstration are governmental
bluster, a fine piece Of pretense and interna-
tional nonsense. suggested. however, for the
promotion Of certain financial aims" The
paper adds: so far as Germany Is con-
cerned the action taken Is likely to do more
harm than good. since $50 millions OF Ger
man capital is invested in Venezuela The
United States must feel secret satisfaction
at seeing Germany ruin its dominating po-
sition In Venezuelan commerce and finance
and must hope to supplant German by
American financial influences"
The German foreign Office officials are
much pleased at Minister Bowers energetic
action at Caracas. resulting In the release of
most OF the Germans imprisoned there. and
by his efforts to obtain the liberation OF the
others. Full advices ON the subject have
been received from Washington

Special Dispateh to The Evening Star.
GAINESVILLE, Wis, December u.-In re-
ply to letter signed by four members of
the Rock county delegation In the legisla-
ture OF 1903. John C. Spooner has declared
his position regarding the succession to the
Office Of United States senator which he
now holds. Senator Spooner will accept a
reelection responsive to the will of ninety
eigu. republican legislative conventions and
to the desire expressed publicly and other
wise by 1O2 republicans-elect. He believes
that If the members Of the legislature shall
choose him to be his own successor such
action will be a command which the re-
publican party Of Wisconsin has a right to
lay upon him, and which, since private
duty no longer obstructs, he may not right
fully disobey. There is no more representa-
tive and, it might be said, cosmopolitan
delegation in the state than that which
Rock county sends to the legislature this
winter. 1t is solidly republican and repre-
sents all elements that have existed In the

LA GUAIRA REINFORCEMENT
Castro Sends 1000 Men and Eighteen
Guns From Caracas.


LA GUAIRA, Venezuela, Wednesday, De-
cember 1O-The British cruiser Indefatig-
able arrived here at o'clock this even
ing from Guanta, the port of Barcelona,
where she is believed to have been in
search of the Venezuelan gunboat Restau-
rador.
The German cruiser vineta and the Brit
ish cruiser Retrfbution left here at o clock
this evening 1t is supposed they have on
board Vene3uela's answer to the demand
of the foreign powers, which arrived on a
special train from Caracas at o'clock.
The German charge d affaires here, Won
Pilgrim -Baltazzi, and British Minister Pag-
gard and the personnel Of the British lega-
ton are still on board the warships.
What is termed an inopportune demon
stration and the strange method resorted
to in the remittance to the Venezuelan min
lister of the demands of Great Britain and
Germany are freely criticised here.
The government has sent 1000 men and
eighteen guns from Caracas to reinforce
the garrison at La Guaira. These troops
are camping tonight at Cuaracuti distant
one hour from La Guaira. All day and all
night ammunition has been carried to Fort
Lavigia, which crowns the harbor, and
preparations are being made to resist the
foreign forces. Volunteers to the number
of 926 men. all from La Guaira, were
armed today, and more are requesting
arms. 1t is asserted here that the govern
ment can find sufficient men to resist the
foreign attack. and the movement is pop
ular. Everywhere one meets men of all
classes and conditions carrying Mauser
rifles.
The news Of the capture at Port of Spain,
Trinidad, of the Venezuelan gunboat Bolt-
var by the. British cruiser Charybdis Is
communicated to President Castro by rep
resentative of the Associated Press. The
event created intense excitement.
All the British and German subjects ar
rested yesterday were released this after
noon.
