Gondokoro, whether Colonel Roose-

colonel and his party started on their
trip down the Nile than several cases
OF African fever broke out among
those who had been in close touch
with Roosevelt, and today DR.. Trosch
French missionary, who took din
ner with Mr., Roosevelt yesterday,
died OF the fever, The district COM

Similar reports come from the
Kampala district, where a scourge
OF African fever developed few
days after the hunting party de-
parted.

Fritz Duquesne, noted African lion
hunter' says a special, that "Bwana
Tumbo" and the other members of
his party are likely to be stricken
with the dread sleeping sickness, or
African fever, when they get back
to civilization The news cabled
from Africa that DR.. Rodericl,
Irosch. a missionary. had been strick
en- with fever and died within a few
hours after taking lunch with Colonel
Roosevelt, prompted Duquesne's pre-.

gerous to allow Mr.. Roosevelt and
his party to return to this country
without having a meteorological ex-
animation made OF their blood. Mark
my words-before the party gets to
Europe, either African fever or the
sleeping sickness will break out
among them"
