The suspected case of | smalipox reported yesterday, which threatened to cause a still further delayin the departure of the Forty-eighth, proved to be nothing more than a severe case of measles. Chief Medical Inspector Owen of this department and Dr. Kinyoun, Federal quarantine official, went over to Angel Island on the Government tugboat General McDowell yesterday to consult with Dr. Kieffer, the regimental surgeon. A brief examination of the suspici: satisfied them that it was not smalipox and orders were at once issued for lift | ing the quarantine. The Forty-eighth will probably be brought over to this city on the tugs Mc- Dowell and Sea Queen on Monday. How- ever, they will sall for the Phlilippines on the transport Grant next Wednesday and It is possible that they may remain on the island until that date. THE OVERDUE KENNEBEC MAKING PORT.
