NJ. B. Wright, made a visit this
week to Brownsville and Mata-
moros where they met the county
and city officials and discussed
matters pertaining to yellow fever

they found the officials OH both
sides of the river on the alert, yet,
perfectly willing to listen to any
suggestions for guarding the health
of the people. The authorities Of
Matamoros expressed themselves
as perfectly willing to work with
the authorities Oh this side of the
river; they have inspectors on all
trains coming from Monterey and
have had for some time, watching
and taking down the names of all
passengers. also places where they
come from, seeing that none get
in from infected points. Browns

Maj. Roberts will enjoy a well
merited popularity both in Browns
vile and at Fort Brown.
In conversation today with DR..
]. II. Florence, a HERALD man is
informed that yellow fever con-
ditions in Louisiana are very bad.
Many outlying parishes are infect
ed. Asked as to probability of the
fever entering Texas. DIR. Florence
said there was very little danger
from Louisiana; that our point of
danger was Vera Cruz, Mexico.
The health authorities of Mexico
say in a recent dispatch there are
only four cases of yellow fever in
the Mexican republic. which, if
true, seems to render Texas COM
paratively safe from infection.
Regarding a recent alleged inter
view in the Houston Chronicle, in
which DIR. Florence is credited
with saying Matamoros was the
dirtiest place on the American con-
tinent, the doctor requests THE
HERALD to say he made no such
statement. On the contrary DR..
Florence says Matamoros is much
cleaner than some of the Texas
towns, not more than a thousand
miles away, which he has visited
within the last forty days. DIR.
Florence says he did make the
assertion that Tampico was in a
very filthy condition.
