more Smallpox at
| Wakefield, Mass

Wakefield, Mass, Jan. 1.-THE dis
covery today of two more cases OF
smallpox in this town, making four
in all, and of Is cases in Reading, two
miles away, have led to strenuous
measures Five of those found to be
afflicted were taken from mills and
factories today, where they were at
work. Others are school children who
have been attending school regularly.
Stirred by the danger confronting
them, $50 townsmen of Wakefield met
in mass meeting in the town hall here
| tonight and passed resolution advo-
eating the purchase of a pest house,
which the town now lacks. without de-
lay. The Board of Health thereupon
voted to take over what is known as
| the Hackett house on Railroad street,
for a smallpox hospital. The house,
though not far from the center of the
town, is in thinly settled district.
The fact that in Wakefield recently
there have been many cases of what
was originally diagnosed as chickenpox
| but which is now believed to have been
smallpox in mild form, has added to
| the alarm of the residents.
Quarantine has been established at
each of the victims houses and in
Reading the streets in one place have
| been roped off for half mile.
All the cases thus far found are be-
lieved to be traceable to the wake a
week ago Monday night over the body
of Mrs. Ambrose LIE Blanc of A Pleas
ant street, who is now believed to have
had the disease. Her infant was the
first found to have the sickness.
Great excitement was caused in two
Of the mills today when Board of
Health officers took away Miss Anna

Deland and Miss Margaret Martin,
all of Reading, from another and plac-
ed them in quarantine in their homes.
The local authorities of Wakefield
and Reading are being aided by DR..
Charles E. Morse. inspector for the
State Board of Health.
In one Reading family every MEM
her was found to be afflicted with the
disease, which, as in the case of the
other Reading victims. is of mild form.
In Wakefield the authorities said to-
night that they are watching a dozen
OR more persons, suspected of having
the disease, in addition to those all

WILL JOIN ESTRADA.
Troops Captured at Rama About "a
Enlist in Revolutionary Army.

Washington, Jan. 11.-A telegram receiv.
ed at the state department today from
Bluefields states in effect that the indi.
cations are that a majority of the pris-
oners captured at the battle near Rama
by the revolutionists will join Estrada,s
army very soon. Estrada, 1t is said, will
supply the prisoners with provisions in.
dependent of the American Red Cross.
Madriz, it is also said, has offered to
furnish $1,000 for the relief of these prison.
ers, the money to be distributed by the
American naval commanders at Blue
fields. The state department. however,
will not accept this charge, but will insist
that the funds be expended through the
Red Cross. Inasmuch as the $1,000 suppos.
eddy is government funds. it's acceptance
by the United States might be interpreted
as recognizing the Madriz faction.
The state department also has receiy.
ed long telegram from New Orleans
signed by over a dozen commercial and
industrial companies. apparently all
American and engaged in business in Mic
aragua, strongly favoring Estrada for
provisional President.
They believe the revolutionary general
would afford full protection to their inter-
ests. Madriz, the telegram says, would
likely follow the old Zelaya regime, great
ly to the detriment of the business inter-
ests of Nicaragua. The telegram states
that Estrada, who is pledged to a new
order of things, would no doubt deal fair
ly with the foreign interests in Nicara-
qua.
