troll. These reports of the uprisings
| are incorrect.

day it blew a hurricane to the north ol
Boston. In several places, great dam

swollen like a watersDout Grear tim
bers used in the construction OF the new
bridge over the river were lifted and
carried away ike so lnuch paper.
Sweeping across the harbor the water
flowed over the fats like a big tiGal
wave. Going On. the water raised havoc
with the settlement Of the 'Joppa" fish
ermen.
In receding to the sea. the waves
struck the life-saving station on Plum
Island, and swallowed it for a second.
One of the boats was washed from the
haIyards and carried out to sea.
In Lexington one terrific squau passed
over the town, breaking windows. blow
ing down chimneys, and tearing off tree
branches.

OPERATORS. GLOAT
OVER COAL FAMINE
WATCHING TO PREVENT
SPREAD OF THE PLAGUE
Surgeon General Receives
Disquieting Reports.

Surgeon General Wyman c. the public
health service. is in receipt of dis
quieting reports from Mazatlan. Mexico,
regarding the spread of buOonic plague.
He has ordered an assistant surgeon to
that port, and another 10 Ensenada,
Lower California. where steamers touch
en- route TO San Francisco. Every pas
senger bound for the United States viii
be inspected at Mazatlan or Ensenada
or at both ports.
According to a report received by DR..
Wyman. the inhabitants OF MazatIan are
fleeing by the hundreds, either into the
interior or to other ports on the west
coast
The public health service officials here
say that conditions at Mazatlan favor
the rapid spread of the disease, and
that the greatest precautions will be
necessary TO keep the plague out OF
California.
The conditions are not due to climatic
environment alone. as the plague ba-
eiuf thrive as well in cold climates
as in the tropics But the Mexican port
IS not QlIeIEHL from OlHSE f]AbtSS VI SAAS't
country from a sanitary standpoint.
Sewers are inadequate and ineffective.
filth is found everywhere, and the i'll
nursed state OF the lower classes in
vites disease. For this reason Surgeon
General Wyman believes the plague is
more likely TO obtain a foothold there
than in San Francisco, where the sani-
tary conditions are Of the best, and
where the plague, in consequence, has
not fiourished though repeatedly intro
duced into the crowded streets OF China
town.
Surgeon General Wyman has just re-
turned from San Francisco, where he in
vestfgated the plague situation He
found conditions much less alarming
than had been reported. The city, State,
and Federal authorities are working in
harmony, and the spread OF the plague
IS not to be expected, in DR.. Wyman s
opinion Eleven State boards OF health
having requested that Surgeon General
HIAryInan call national conference TO dis
cuss conditions II san Francisco, the
Surgeon General is required by law 20
call a conference. but be has advised
the State health boards that after 4
personal investigation he is satisfied the
California authorities are doing every
thing necessary in the matter. and that
no further action is required by the
Federal authorities.
