CAPITAL NEED NOT FEAR
THE BUBONlC PLAGUE
Safeguards Reared About
City-Situation in Porto
Rico and Cuba.

Because Of the safeguards raised by
the public health and marine hospital serv-
ice and the state and municipal health off,
GERS, Washington need have little fear
of a bubonic plague epidemic. even
should the plague gain a foothoid in
some of the Atlantic seaports. according
to statements made at the headquarters
of the marine hospital service today
The fact that the plague is primarily
a disease of rodents and is transmitted
to human beings only through insects
which live on these rodents, has much 10
do with this prediction. for If man
having the plague came here, unless he
brought fieas or other insects along with
him, the chances are that he would not
give the plague to any one else. 1t was
said.
ed for killing off the rats in the At
lantic and gulf ports may not only
succeed in preventing the future intro
duction OF the plague into this country.
but may result in suppressing plague
already here.
Cuban Situation Better.

discovered in Porto Rico. and Passed

In his laboratory force-which has
been granted-the situation in Cuba
appears more and more encouraging.
Passed Assistant Surgeon Won Ezdorf

area has been determined SO as to in
clude the confines of the old city OF
Havana.
Another dispatch stated that all evi-
deQces of infection have been absolutely
circumscribed to four city blocks. Passed
Assistant Surgeon Won Ezdorf reported
today that TWO plague suspects at Havana
had proven negative. and a third was
held under observation.
Upon receiving this report Surgeon Cen
era1 Blue of the public health and marine
hospital service instructed DR.. E-dorf to
permit passengers for New York to en-
bark directly from Havana without de-
ten.ion.

ported from Porto Rico.
