Needless Alarm.

Guaymas that the bubonic plague was raging down the coast; that Mazatlan and several other coast cities were sadly afflicted; that many people were dying, and that there was danger of it's spreading up the gulf to Guaymas; thence to the United States via Guaymas and the Sonora railway.
 Being in Hermosillo at the time, TIE OASIS editor conceived it to
 matter of duty to proceed Q Guaymas, whence all the alarming reports were said to elnanate, to investigate their foondation, to learn for himself and the readers of this paper the trH ituation, and to present the same Without pallia- ton or prevarication.
 At Guaymas the editor found Governor Rafael Izabal of the state of Sonora, and Mayor E. Gaxiola of that city, who freely imparted all the information they possessed officially, and gave a full descrip- tion of all the steps they have taken for public safety.
 That there have been a number of cases of the supposed contagion in Mazatlan is well established, but instead of seventy-two deaths in one day there had been nine only x-one Monday, seven Sunday and one Saturday Outside of Maza- tan no eases have occurred.
 Immediately the first case was reported Governor Izabal proceed ed to Guaymas from Hermosillo and at once took steps toward the public safety. All communication with the lower coast ports was pro- hibited, vessels coming up the coast were instructed to turn back, and the steamer from Mazatlan, which arrived in Guaymas Sunday, was placed on quarantine and no one permitted to come ashore
 A large force was immediately organized and set to work cleaning the city. Since Sunday three hun dred men and one hundred carts have been constantly employed, and now the city is one of the cleanest on the continent. A house to house inspection has been inaug urated and every case of illness re- ported is immediately given the most rigid investigation. Not a sign of anything in any way indl- cative of bubonic fever or any other contagion or infection has yet ap- peared in Guaymas, and Governor Izabal requests THE OASIS to state that should there be single case it will be immediately reported off cially.
 As precautionary measure Gov ernor Izabal has had constructed at Cape Haro-out on the shore of the gulf-a pavilion with every ap- pliance for the scientific medical care of the sick and should, in spite of the vigilant attitude of the au- thorities, there develop any case of plague in that city, the victims will be immediately isolated and cared for in the best possible man. ner, with every precaution to pre- vent spread of the disease. And all who may be taken will be sent there, regardless of whom they be. The highest and most aristocratic gentleman or lady so afflicted will be immediately sent out there.
 With all that has been done and the precautions taken THE OASIS candidly asserts there is no cause for alarm, and that danger of the spread of the contagion this way is practically an impossibility.

 My DEAR TITcoNB:
 This question yof the bubonic plague scare is one that deeply in terests Us and all parties doing business in Sonora, Mexico, and we should everything in our power to set forth the facts as they actually are and to prevent the circulation of unreliable rumors. 1 enclose the very latest telegrams from Maza- tan. of this day and date, and add the following:
 Mazatlan is in Sinaloa, and is 800 miles from Guaymas, and all ports in Sonora are strictly quaran- tined against all ports in Sinaloa; besides that there is cordon ot sot- diers from Alamos closely pdtroling the line of the states to prevent en- try overland.
 The governor of this state, Rafael IzabaI, came here last night from Guaymas, and returned to that port this morning. He has established a positire quarantine there, and all persons from Mazatlan or Sinaloa ports will be held ten or twelve days before being allowed to enter the harbor. They have two "laza- retos" on different islands at the entrance of the harbor-one where anyone who is sick will be detained Should any such appear) and the other where all other arrivals will be held the term as stated. As yet none have.
 Guavmas has been thoroughly cleaned up and disenfected and Hermosillo is now undergoing a thorough system of sanitary clean ing to prevent any possibility of any disease from lack of cleanliness.
 The translations of telegrams en- closed and the contents of this let ter are strictly official from General Luis E. Torres, the general com handing this military zone, and l also vouch for the contents of this letter. Yours very truly.
 l.. W. MIX. Capt. L. W. Mix, present:
 DEAR SIR:
 Following is translation of tele- grams received by me today:
 Mazatlan, Dec. 25, 1902. General Luis E. Torres, Hermo- sillo.
