Two Of the Victims, However, Died

DIR. Guiteras Says Disease Must BE
Stamped Out Of Nuevo Laredo
or There VIII Surely BE
Another Epidemic.

Laredo. Tex. oct. ls.-The official
bulletin % the situation for the twen-
ty-four hours. ending Sunday. was;
New cases. 80; deaths. 6: total num-
Der of cases to date. 400: total number
OF deaths. %.
The deaths which occurred Sunday
were among the poorer class OF Mex
leans. and two OF them occurred out
side the city limits. one two miles and
the other six miles out. The deaths
are attributed ,q~.s.a slightly colder
weather which W prevailed for the
past two day
Sunday vas practically the first day
that the men who are carrying on the
work OF fumigating houses and putting
on the numerous water barrels
throughout the city have enjoyed =
minutes rest since the outbreak Of
the yellow fever here. They have
made much progress In their work du-
ring the past week that they have
now practically covered the entire
city
Dr. Guiterras. the famous yellow fe-
yer expert. who has charge Of the sltu-
alton here for the marine hospital ser
vice. stated that during the past week
the oil brigade had placed oil on over
5000 water barrels. besides being EN-
ployed in other ways IN their crusade
against the fever.
The doctor vas asked II he could
give any idea as 10 when the fever will
have been entirely stamped out, and
stated that he hoped to be able to en-
tirely eradicate the disease by Nov. 10
or rs.
Il can be- stated that there are many
more cases OF yellow fever In Nueyo
Laredo than the official bulletins indi-
cate The fact Of the matter Is. the
physicians there do not report a case
OF yellow fever unless Il makes Itself
manifest in the worst form. They
otherwise term the disease "paludis-
no" which Is literally translated as
swamp fever.
Dr. Guiterras spoke OF the necessity
of thorouFhly stamping out the dis
ease In Nuevo Laredo. He stated that
n this Is not done only Providence can
save this border from another visita-
tion Of the epidemic. The authorities
there do not seem TO be carrying on
their wort; In as scientific a manner as
are the physicians here. While good
work is being done there. the Mexican
physicians do not a. firmly believe IN
the theory that the mosquito Is the
only means by which the fever can be
spread. and are not taking as great
precautions by using mosquito bars.
The physicians in Monterey. as well
a. in Laredo. are being somewhat
Handicapped by the ignorant classes
concealing their sick owing % the
prejudice against taking medicine.

explanation was only too obvious: the
pay car had been switched off on
sldetrack, where it was to wait for a
return train, and my bride and luggage
were miles away on the iron road
bound for the Pacific coast. The good
natured paymaster pitied my distress

off at the first stopping place with our
impediments and waited for me to re-
