SMALLPOX IS EPIDEMIC
Thirty, -Four New Cases at Guanta-
namo Results in a Strict
Quarantine.

On account Of the development of thir-
Guantanamo naval station, Cuba, among
sailors who were exposed on the battle
ship Ohio. the entire naval station has
been placed under quarantine and Secre-
tary Daniels today ordered the Atlantic
fleet, which starts south next Sunday,
now bound for Culebra, Porto Rico, to re-
main away from Guantanamo until the
quarantine is raised
Smallpox developed on the Ohio while
she was. returning from her Mediter-
ranean cruise and an isolation camp was
established at Guantanamo. 1t was at
first supposed that the disease was
checked SO that no change would have
to be made in the plans for the winter
maneuvers of the Atlantic feet, which
was to base at Guantanamo. But the
Navy Department today was advised Of
the new outbreak, nine of tie cases
being reported as viruIent. The Ohio is
now at Delaware breakwater undergoing
fumigation. Nearly 800 of her Omcers
and crew are in quarantine there, and,
while no new cases have been reported
for several days, there is uncertainty as
to the latest diagnosis of some of the
suspects.
According to present plans, the Atlantic
fleet will engage with the marine brigade
in advance base maneuvers at Culebra
until about January %. II there is then
any danger at Guantanamo the feet will
either continue longer at Culebra or will
base at Guacanayabo bay, on the south
coast of Cuba.
