The war office dispatch received was
sent by General Manning from Bohotle
June 26 and announced his arrival
there unopposed. He captured a num-
Der Of the Mad Mollah's camels and
sheep while on his way to Bohotle.
General Manning added that this
flight Of the Mad Mollah would have
been turned into a rout IL it had been
! possible to send a column Of sufficient
strength from Rohotle.
A dispatch from Alden ten days ago
stated that the British lines Of COM
munication between Berbera and Bo-
hottie were then threatened by the re-
bellious Mad AIollah and bis forces.

good deal Of Importance has come to
the attention of the department of az

from Indiana to Argentina, in South
America. They developed the foot and

Nothing Of this kind exists IN Indiana
or anywhere along the line Of travel

They unquestionably contracted the
disease on board the vessel that has

reliable information that the foot and

Argentina, but has existed there for a
considerable time.

ease as cattle The question presented
t0 the department Is whether it win
stop the importation Of wool from Ar

department Will make a careful IN.
quiry into this subject
Two propositions are presented. One
is the shutting out Of wool from these
countries altogether, and the other IS
the possibility Of disinfecting at oui
own ports
If exhaustive inquiry in the coun
tries from which hides come shows
that we are in grave danger Of getting
the foot and mouth disease from these
countries one of two things win be
imperative viz, that the importation
be stopped or that such disinfection be
had as will prevent the possibility q
