Hastings’ Hopeful View of the Situation. A CITY WIPED OUT BY FIRE. \The Business Part of Seattle En- tirely Burned Up. A PLAGUE FEARED. Warm Weather Feit in the Conemaugh Valley, PHYSICIANS BELIEVE THAT GREAT SICKNESS WILL PREVAIL—DIPHTHERIA AND TYPHOID FEVER MAKE THEIR APPEARANCE—EVERY SANITARY PRECAUTION BEING TAKEN THAT 19 POSSIBLE TO AVERT THE PERIL. Jouystown, Pa., June 7.—“‘Are the horrors of the flood to give way to the terrors of the plague?” is the question that is now agitating the valley of the Conemaugh. To-day opened warm and almost sultry, and the stench that ; assails one’s senses as he wanders through Johnstown is almost overpowering. Sickne in spite of the precautions and herculean labors of the sanitary authorities, ison the increase, and the fears of epidemic grow with every hour. “It is our impression,” said Dr. T. L. White, assistant to the state board of health, this mora- ing, “that there is going to be great sickness here within the next week. Five cases of ma- lignant dipitheria were located this on Bedford street. and as they were in different houses they mean five starting points for dis- ease. All this talk about the dangers of epi- demic is not exaggerated,as many suppose, but is founded upon experience. There will be plenty of typhoid fever and kindred diseases here within a week or ten days in my opinion, The only thing that has saved us thus far has been the cold weather. That has now given place to summer weather, and no one knows what the next few days may bring forth, Even among the workmen an attend- ants there is already discernable a great ten- dency to diarrhoea and dysentery. The men | are living principally upon salt meat, and there is a lack of vegetables. I have been here since Sunday and have not tasted fresh meat but once since that time. Iam only one of the many. Of course the worst has passed for the physicians, as our arrangements are now per- fected, and each corps will be relieved from time to time. Twenty more physicians arrived from Pittsburg this morning, and many of us will be relieved to-day, but the opinion is gen- eral among the medical men that there will be more need for doctors ina week hence than there is now.” EVERY PRECAUTION BEING TAKEN. ~ Dr. R. L, Sibbel, of the state board of health, is in charge of sanitary headquarters. “We are using every precaution known to science,” said he, ‘to prevent the possibility of epidemic. Our labors here have not been confined to any particular channel, but have been extended in various directions. Disinfectants, of course, are first in importance and they have been used with no spariug hand. The prompt cremation of di animals as fast as discovered is another thing which we have insisted on, The immediate erection of water closets throughout the ruins for the workmen was another work of the greatest san- itary importance and has been attended to. too, are being disinfected at frequent als, We have a committee, too, that s1 perintends the burial of the victims at the cemeteries. Itis of the utmost importance in this wholesale interment that the corpses should be interred a safe distance beneath the suriace in apder that their poisonous emana- tions may not find exit through the crevices of the earth, Another committee is making a house to house inspection throughout the stricken city to ascertam the number of inhabitants in e standing house; the number of the sick and to order the latter to hospitals whenever necessary. One great danger is the overcrowa- ing of houses and hotels. and that 1s being pre- vented a8 much as possible by the free use of tents upon the mountain side. So far there is but little contagious disease, and we hope by diligent and systematic efforts to prevent any dangerous outbreak.” said Adjt.-Gen. Hastings this morning, ‘Gov. Beaver is not to visit the scene of disaster at all, Iknow there were rumors that he would be here this morning, but they were, in my opinion, entirely unfounded. I would have received an official notification of his arrival, I think, and as yet such notification has not been Teceived by me. The truth prob- ably is that Gov. Beaver has visited some of the flood-stricken portions of Penn- sylvania and the report got currency that he was going to Johnstown. It must be remem- bered that the floods have done inestimable damage in other portions of the state. The flood sufferers are not all in the Conemaugh valley. Itis hkely Gov. Beaver is on a visit of alleviation to some other portion of the state, although for aught I know he may yet be at Harrisburg.” GEN. HASTINGS ON THE SITUATION. “What is the situation this morning?” “Very good so far as reported. Bodies are being gradually recovered all the time, but of course out in the large number of the first few . days, Last night we arrested several ghouls that were wandering amid the wreck on evil intent during the darkness, and they were promptly taken to the guard-house. This morning they were given the choice of imprisonment or going to work at $2 a day, and they promptly chose the latter. We are getting along very well in our work, and very little tendency to lawlessness, I am happy to say, is observed.” THE WAIF’s MISSION is doing a noble work in Johnstown. Miss H. | W. Hinckley and her assistant, Miss Cornelia Hancock, are the heroines of the hour. Within an hour after their arrival upon the scene of horrors they had established a bureau and were recsiving the children and wee babea, that had been or- haned by the cruel flood and flames. Miss jinckley talked che of her work this morning. “We have from the very first “and feel that we have ‘ good service. Withinafew minutes we had received notificatior of perhaps a hundred orphan children, and, asthe press was kind enough to send out an address, we were, within a few hours more, in receipt of offers from all over the country to take c! of some of the little ones, In the children re- tke charge of certains numbers of the litle ones, We received through the mayor of New York a message from Leaks & Watts’ orphanage, in New York city, offering to re- ceive some of the orphan children. Of course, we gladly accepted the offer. Iudeed. we can re- spond to many more such offers. §t is yet im- | possible to estimate how many childrin will fall upon our hands, but it will probably run | into the hundreds.” THE LITTLE ONES HAPPY. A stroll through one of Miss Hinckley’s little nurseries and found a score of little ones playing and laughing gaily oblivious of the | cruel blow that had been dealt them, In one group nine children of the same family were seen, the oldest not over fifteen years. | They were Germans and both father and | mother bad through the inscrutable ways of | Providence found a watery grave. while the | nine little waifs badescaped in the doating debris of their humble cottage. TO WHOM DRAFTS SHOULD To SENT. Numerous telegrams have been received | here from all portions of the United States aking to whom drafts for relief should be remitted. In many cases checks and drafts have been addressed to Mr. James B. Scott, the chosen dictator of the vai- ley, and this was probably the most proper | Tson to whom to mak se remittances, | “I wish you would now ».ate to the couutry,” | said Col. Scott to-day, “that as things are be- | coming more and more settled every hour, I would recommend that all drafts and checks hereafter be sent to William BR. . Thompson, treasurer of the grievance committee, Pittsburg. That city | is now really the financial point as most of our supplies must necessarily be purchased there. | Let all general remittances b» in the torm of | draits und no confusion can possibly arise.” i] THE CONDITION IMPROVING. “What is the condition of the valley now’ “It is improving with every h Phe pe fect organization which has been effected within the past day or two has gradually re- solved all the chaos and con into a semblance of order and re Of course we have to somewhat arbitrary but not unjustifiable manner in many cases, and at times I hove been forced to exercise an authority which while it might almost seem despetic, was, I hope, judicious. I have at all times endeavored to be disercet,” “Are many bodies being discovet “Very few; that is to say comp Of course as t waters receded more between the banks we have ¢ me bodies here and there and they were exposed to. upon he probabilities are that there will be a great many bodies yet discovered under the rubbish that covers the streets, and our t and expectation is that the vast majority of all the dead may be recovered and disposed of in a Christian-like manner. “How about the movement to burn the rub- bish, bodies and ally” NO GENERAL BURNING. “T donot think that will be done—at least only | as a last extremity, While there is great | anxiety in regard to the sanitary condition all possible precautions are veing taken, and we hope to prevent any disease | until we shall have time to thoroughly overhaul the wreck. Of course, as fast as each | pile of rubbish is searched it is heaped up and the torch applied, but that is the only burning that willbe done. There will be no general re gration, because, in my opinion, there is he uty for it, Property that is of any value is extracted from these heaps of debris betore the fire is applied, and it is certain that no house will be burned thatis worth repairing. Naturally, in this scene of general devastation, we do not have all the consideration for minor matters that we would have had at a local dis- aster of jess frightful character. Strict orders have been issued this morning, let me say, to arrest any person found throwing any rubbish or dirty water of any kind im the streets, not only in Johnstown proper, but in the suburbs, We propose to continue this work of searching the wreck un- til the miasma becomes so strong as to defy | science, and then we may well recede. | I do not believe, however, that that time will ever come. | THE GREATEST OONSIDERATION 18 BEING GIVEN | to this matter of the recovery of the dead and treatment of the bodies after discovery. I think an impression bas gone abroad that the dead are being handled here very much as one would handle cord wood, but this is a great mistake. As soon as possible after discovery they are borne from public gaze and — taken, to the morgue. where only persons | who have lost relatives or friends are admitted, Of course the general exclusion is not applied to attendants, physicians and representatives of the press, but it is righteously applied to careless sightseers, We have no room for sightsecrs in Johustown now. It is earnest workers and laborers we want, and of these we | can hardly have too many.” Gov. BEAVER ARRIVES. Governor Beaver arrived here about 4 o'clock this morning on the train bearing the regiment from Philadelphia, His coming was kept a profound secret. The object of h's visit is to confer with Adjutant-General Hastings and | others as to the disposision of the relief funds, MORE DISINFECTANTS NKEDED. The sanitary condition of Kernville is bad | and more disinfectants are needed, Four pe sons were found sick and there is no morgue in thetown. Rev. Mr. Read says there are still 1,000 bodies in the ruins at Kernville. Zill Gruber, of Kernville. on Friday morning Jast bad jet-black hair, moustache and beard. That night he had a battle with the waters. On Saturday morning his hair and beara began to turn gray, and the hair now is well streaked with white. Gruber attributes the change to his awful Friday night’s experience. MILTON’S MUD AND SLIME. The Citizens Struggling to Repair Their Damaged Homes.
