The Panama Railroads steamship Segur-
anca, in yesterday from Colon. had fifteen
persons aboard whose elevated tempera-
lures caused their removal from Quarantine
to Hoffman Island for observation. Health
Officer Doty found two Of the crew Ill with
what appeared to be maarial fever. These
were taken to Swinburne Island for treat
inent. Eight Of their shipmates, who had
been sick OF and on on the voyage, and
who were convalescent, showed only symp-
toms Of n,alarial fever. The two who wore
still sick were attacked three days ago and
we're better when they were examined yes
terday than they had been on the day be-
fore.
DR.. Doty said there was no evidence from
IA clinical examination that any OF the sick
men had yellow fever, but meteorological
examination Of their blood would be com-
pleted to-day and then 1t would be definitely
determined whether any OF them Ia or re-
Gently hns been afflicted with yellow fever.
Only one case of yellow fever has devel-
oped from the large number of passengers
from Colon who have been detained In the
last several weeks because of high tempsra-
lures.

uranca sailed from Colon Third Ofacer
Carter, Assistant Engineer Peters and two
coal passers were taken ashore with what
was supposed by passengers to be yellow
fever. One OF the coal passers died OF tho
disease in hospital The surgeon Of the
Seguranca said that he had the impression
that Carter and the assistant engineer were
suffering with bad malaria" only.
DR.. Doty did not fumigate the ship. ~
he says 1t has been clearly demonstrated
that yellow fever cannot be spread by oon-
tact with patient or his bedding or cloth
ing, but only by the bite Of the peculiar
mosquito that carries the germs Of the
disease. The mosquitoes taken aboard
the ships from Colon. the doctor said,
were unlikely to be brought all the way to
New York.
Two members Of the crew OF the Morgan
Line steamship FL Dorado, in yesterday
from New Orleans, were transferred from
Quarantine to Hoffman Island beoasise their
temperatures were above normal.
All the passengers who were sent to

chief work at present is preparing quarters
for the employees and perfecting the food
supply. We have completed two hotels
and have seven more under way. We ex-
pect by this means to bring our employees
under close supervision. OF the 1, 500 who
were with us in the month Of June only
three had yellow fever
