Disease Spreads From Tampico,
Mexico, Though Rigid Quar-
antine Is in Force.
CONDITION is NOW ALARMING.
Increase of Infection Carrying Mos
quitoes Continues, and Scores
Die Of Epidemic Despite
Suppressive Measures.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, Aug. 2-The yellow fever
situation at Tampico. Mexico. Is alarming.
Reports to the public health and marine
hospital service show that. despite the dis
injection of all vessels, and their detention
for five days thereafter. the spread Of the
disease continues.
Acting Assistant Surgeon Frick has been
compelled to withdraw on account of ILL
ness. and Doctor Lippincott. a local ply
stefan. Is in charge. In the week ended
July 10, Doctor Lippincott reports there
were 70 deaths. Is of which were from yell
low fever. In the same week 50 new cases
were reported, 40 left over from the
previous week, making q total of 10s
cases. The conditions prevailing are grow
Ing worse. Recent rains have increased
the number of mosquitoes. and a con-
seQuent increase of the epidemic is an
ticipated. The infection now seems to be
generally distributed both In Dona Cecilia
and Tampico, and Doctor Lppincott says:
The situation is daily growing worse and
I have been informed that there have been
few cases at Altamira. This shows that
the infection is being carried by the rail-
ssaon Ia, w baen s
Gonzaiez, point about sixty kilometers
from Tampico, but II strict care is not
taken the infection may extend either to
Eagle Pass or Laredo.
TEXAS IS IN DANGER.
Trains leaving Tampico are oyercrowded
every day, and as the quarantine station
is only three hours by rail, any one in
fected on leaving would not have time to
develop before passing quarantine. The
shipping had been free from infection up
to the present time. All Texas and Gulf
ports have been instructed by Surgeon Cen
eral Wyman to maintain q strict quaran-
tine against the infected sections Of Mex
1co
The disease has been found also at Vera
Cruz, where II is believed to have been i'm
ported from Tampico. Assistant Surgeon
Goldberger at Vera Cruz reports:
"The Superior Board Of Health Is about
to inaugurate measures for the suppression
Of yellow fever. AS at present outlined,
1t is proposed to divide the city into Sec
tons. each section to have a chief inspec-
tor and subordinate Inspectors who will

picious symptoms such are at once to be

minimizing the multiplication Of mosaui-
toes and by fumigating the dwellings from

moved. destroying mosquitoes that may
have become infected.

WHITE PAINT ST BILLS
WILLIAM p. STEWART IN TROUBLE
FOR PASSING ONE.
Raised silver Certificate Given "a.

legged, Secured by Capt. Halls.

William p. Stewart, house mover, liv-

rested yesterday by Deputy Marshal RAN
kin and given a hearing before United
States Commissioner Moores on the charge
of passing a raised 81 silver certificate. He

ceived the certificate from a colored woman
and did not know that it was a raised bill
The colored woman, whose address was
given, was arrested by Captain Halls, of
the secret service, and Deputy Marshal
Rankin, but she proved she knew nothing
about the bill. The evidence showed that
Stewart knew that the bill was raised and
that he passed it Intentionally. The bill
was passed on man named Brock, who
works for Stewart and to whom the bill
was given for wages.
The bill is what is known as one of the
white paint bills" of which there are a
good many in circulation. They are 81
bills raised TO s. and are the work of two
negroes named Stark and Jackson, whom
Captain Hall captured several weeks ago in
the ssouthern part of the State. Captain
Hall recognized the work Immediately. He
has been on the trail of Stewart for some
time. 1t is not known how Stewart came
into possession of the money.

Declaration of Principles.

The following declaration of principles
was read and adopted by the audience:
THAT in celebrating the centennial OF
the judicial murder of the brave and pure
souled Robert Emmett, who forfeited ms
life in the endeavor to establish a repub-
lie on Irish SOIL We the citizens OF re-
public, pledge anew our devotion to his
principles Judged by the light of the CEN
fury that has passed since the death or
our beloved martyr, We solemnly declare
that the sole grievance of Ireland is the
English connection, and that there can
be no peace. happiness or contentment in
Ireland until that connection is destroyed,
and an Irish republic is established on
Irish soil.
I'VE hold that the right of Ireland to a
complete and separate independence is in
alienable, and that the same is possible OF
accomplishment by the union OF the patrl-
otto men of our race throughout the world
portunities which the near future has in
store.
I'VE point TO the gross failure of the
so-called English concessions to restore
prosperity to our motherland, and point
TO the fact that the immigrant ships are
even now more thronged than ever with the
bone and Sinew of our motherland, who
fly from the cursed rule of the English
government.
I'VE declare that she is the same old
England as far as ireland is concerned.
and point by way of illustration TO the
vindictve manner in which she has pur-
sued to this country an Irish peasant, an
allegeN fugitive from Justice, whom her
Infamous laws committed to life impris-
onment for ordinary assault.
I'VE call the attention CO the government
officials at Washington TO the notorious
fact, well proven IN the case to which
agency in this country is nothing less than
an organized force OF English spies in the
United States. willing to sell information to
England on any matter of an international
nature, on which the British government
may desire to be Informed.
Finally, we call upon our brother Irish
men throughout the United States and
upon all our fellow citizens who cherish lib
erty, to oppose by every means in their
power the efforts of the Anglomaniacs of
the present day TO ally this republic with
the British empire. We believe that any
trucAIlng 10, or understanding with Eng
land Is subversive to American liberty
and insult to the memory OF the fathers
of the Hepublic.
