There has been an Increase of cases
since the first announcement of the
/ city quarantine against Juarez. On
Thursday there are nine cases of small
pox in the FL PasO eruptive hospital.
Juarez officials report only three
cases in the Mexican city, but woman
was taken i'll Wednesday at her home
u miles east of Juarez, nearly opposite
the Texas village of Ysleta, where
Thomas Gourley contracted the disease,
which was transmitted to the late vice
consul John GOurley.
According TO DR.. A. H. Butler, as
sistant city physician, who is in active
charge of the local condition, all but
one Of the nine cases are traceable to
Juarez. Dr.. Butler believes that four
persons found Friday on South Kansas
street and one other picked up Sunday
brought the disease from a ranch south
Of Juarez A Mexican woman was COM
mitted to the local hospital Wednesday.
The only case believed to have been
contracted in the United States is that
of a painter, employed, until his illness,
by the G. H. & S. A.
On the contrary, Mexican officials
declare no more than three cases to be
traceable TO Juarez, besides WedneS-
days addition in the southern district.
They maintain that there is more small
pox in Ell Paso than in Juarez, and the
affair is beginning to take the form of
a simple you are another" argument
1t is said that injury has been done the
Mexican city without cause, and already
that business is dropping off in volume.
This is carried out by a fast dimin-
ishing traffic of street car passengers
between the two cities Immigration
and customs inspectors say that within
week the number of persons passing
the bridge has been cut in half, and that
ew tourists are visiting the Mexican
city.
Preparations are being made for the
inspection of vaccination certificates,
beginning Friday which will be con-
Quoted at the interna tional bridges. Sig
natures of FL Paso physicians have
been secured by health officers, so that
they may be compared with those Of
the certificates thus avoiding any
trickery.
1t is not known what the attitude
Of the Mexican officials vii be. No word
has been received from governor San
chez, who must order any quarantine
against Ell Paso. Jefe politico Portillo.
Thursday noon telegraphed the COVER
nor for immediate instructions. Dew
opment of nine cases in FL Paso Will
doubtless cause a Mexican quarantine
1t is feared by many that a govern
ment quarantine may be declared, al
though local federal officials have TAX
en- no action in the affair other than
assisting the civil authorities.
