Rome, Sunday March 1. Via Paris,
March 3.-The municipality of Rome
has pursued a mistaken policy in en-
deavoring to suppress the news Of an
outbreak of smallpox in this city in
the fear OF frightening away the spring
tourists trade, which constitutes a
large source of revenue to the capital.
instead of pacifying the public fears.
The method pursued in prohibiting the
sending of kilograms referring TO the
outbreak has given rise to the spread
of the widest and most exaggerated
reports.
There is practically a panic in Rome
over this smallpox scare. All the vac
cine material i'll the city has been eN-
hausted and fresh supply has been
ordered from Switzerland. The La
Zaretto of Santa Sabina, whore the
cases have been isolated, has been sur
rounded by Gordon of troops. This
section has resulted I'm the shutting out
OF many tourists who are lodged in Il
nearby hotel and has caused much
complaint No Americans are in The
