HAVANA, Jan. 3.—General Wood to-day issued an important order, giving freedom forty men In the province of Santa Clara.' Some of them had been detained without trial and others were suffering excessive punishment. All had been re- leazed ten months Lefore by an order fs- sued by General Bates, but they were fm- medlately rearrested on orders from divi- sion headquarters on the ground that a department commander did not have the power to pardon. After looking carefully into the cases, Governor Wood decided the judgment of General Bates re- arding their release was wise and conse- ently to-day's order setting them at lib- erty was promulgated. Reports from other departments are daily expected, and it is belleved that before the end of the month large numbers will be released, es- pecially in the province of Havana.

The patient has been isolated and every precaution has been taken to prevent a spread of the Jdis- | ease. WASHINGTOY, Jan. 8.—The War De- partment is taklng steps to prevent Lhe introduction of the plague in the Philip- pines, and Secretary Root this morning | called into consultation Surgeon General Wyman of the Marine Hospital Service, | to discuss the establishment of a quaran- tine system for the islands. It was de- clded that the War Department should adopt toward the Philippines a policy like that it pursued toward Cuba in the matter of the progection of health, name- ly, confine the nmintenance of a quaran- tine system to the Marine Hospital Ser- vice. The report received by both the State Department and Surgeon General Wyman from Honolulu confirms the As- eociated Press dispatch relative to the ex- istence of the disease. It happens, for- tunately, that the Marine Hospital Ser- | vice has already two quarantine plants in the Philippines, while two of its sur- geons are now on their way to Manila, so that little delay will be encountered in beginning to draw a rigid quarantine line in the islands. Surgeon General Wyman has no con- | firmation of the report that three suspect- ed cases of bubonic plague have been dis- covered within the walled city of Manila, but no attempt is made to conceal the | gravity of the situation should the re- port prove true. Still, it is sald, a few sporadic cases need not necessarily fesult in an epidemic in the islands. Surgeon | General Wyman says the disease no long- er creates the dread it once did, because it has been demonstrated that it can be | handled by modern sclence. It has been | stamped out of Alexandria, Egypt, Kobe, Japan, and Vienna, Austria. The methods of fighting it are the same as used against smallpox—isolation, disinfection and sani- tation. The greatest danger is due to its possible introduction into new localities through ambmlant or walking cases, which defy the surveillance of the au- thorities. One feature of the casesswhich s gratifying to the authorities, in view of the possible outbreak of the epidemic | in the Philippines, is the fact that its his- | tory shows that it does not attack Euro- | peans as readily as natives. Surgeon General Wyman to-day re- ceived a long report from Surgeéon Car- michael, who is stationed at Honolulu, __| bearing on the condition of affairs there regarding the bubonic plague. Under De- cemper 18 the report says that five cases and five deaths from what is pronounced to be bubonic plague have occurred in Honolulu on the 1ith and 12th inst. Dr. Carmichael savs the presence of the dis- ease was not suspected until the morn- ing of the 12th, when a Chinese patient died. An autopsy was held, the examina- | tion pointing stréngly to the fact that death was caused by the bubonic plague. Another case, also a Chinese, who had | dled on December 11, was examined with | the same result. The symptoms previous to death were high fever—l04 to 105 de- | grees Fahrenheit, rapid pulse—140 to 150— | headaches, delirfums, vomiting and pain | and swelling. | The auration of illness in two of the cases was three days, and from thres to four days in the other cases. Strained preparations from the juice squeezed from the enlarged glands showed the presence in large numbers of a short bacillus, rounded at both ends, and closely resem- bling that of bubonic plague. Dr. Carmichael says no new cases have been reported up to December 15, and con- cluded his report as follows: “I shall adopt all measures within my power to insure the safety of vessels leav- ing for United States ports, but the ab- sence of a plant for disinfection here is severely felt at the present time, and in view of this fact additional precautions should be adopted at all Pactfic Coast ports and such measures should insure | the destruction of all vermin on board vessels.” & D = e e e e B ] | AGUINALDO LIBERATES ALL SPANISH CAPTIVES MADRID, Jan. 4—The Spanish Consul at Manila telegraphs to the Foreign Of- | fice that the steamer Uranque, from Pa- nay, has arrived there, having on board | the Bishop of Vega, 117 priests, five of- |.ficers and 115 civillans who had been re- | stored to liberty. | The Consul adds that Aguinaldo has promulgated a decree ordering the libera- tion of all Spanish prisoners without dis- | tinction. The Consul distrusts Aguin- aldo’'s motives on account of the attitude | of the Filipino chiefs, who, he believes, | place difficulties in the way of the libera- {tion of the prisoners. OTIS REPORTS THE : ARRIVAL OF TRANSPORTS WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—General Otis sent a cable message to the War Depart- ment as follows: ““Pransports arrived: Jndiana, Ohio (Fourteenth Infantry, Colonel Godwin), Duke of Fife and St. Paul (Thirty-eighth Infantry, Colonel Anderson), December 27, no casualties; Dalny Vostock and Co- lumbia (Forty-second lnfantry), Colonel Thompson), December 31; Private Curt E.

The world’s standard for perfection in brewing.* died en route, December 20, acute menin-* UTTE, Mont., Jan. 3—S8mallpox has broken out in Butte City, Mont., and despite the efforts of tho health and police authorities the dread disease s spreading. It 1s believed by many that the pest was brought in by the Montana regiment that returned from the Philippines last fall, and support was at first lent to this bellet by the fact that for some time the doctors of the town were divided in thelr opinion as to whether the disease so rap- ijdly spreading was . ‘“Manila itch” or smallpox. The controversy waxed warm for some ‘time, and in the meanwhile pa- tients from all parts of the city were re- ported with alarming frequency. By the time the disease was finally diagnosed unanimously as smallpox there were more patients than the town could take care of, and the new cases were being cared for in their own houses. 4 The fact that the plague has fastened on Butte has been well kept from the public. It is also known, although no offi- clal report of the fact has been allowed to reach the world, that Dillon, Mont., a small town near Butte, and Salt Lake, Utah, are nearly as badly off. Whereé it came from is the question now being dis- cussed by the towns affected, but the re- sult of the discussion has not been satis- factory. It is estimated that at present there are 200 cases in Butte that are known to the authorities, and, further than that, there are at least 100 more unknown to the authorities and cared for at thelr homes. The town is in a state bordering on a panic, and the health officers are having a hard time to stem the tide. There are no adequate preparations for such an emergency, and the town s taken by surprise. The Mayor has ordered a tent to be erected just outside the town. and patients are being sent to this im- provised camp as fast as they can be lo- cated. There is no pesthouse, and there are no provisions to check the advance of the plague, so the excitement is intense. The first cases were discovered some weeks ago, but the news was suppressed. Nothing was sald about it, even when the disease was spreading, and it was not until it reached serious proportions that it was allowed to become a matter of pub- lic concern. There was no concealing the fact when people began to be taken down with the disease in the streets, in the stores and in their homes. In Hennessy's big de- partment store four clerks on duty were found to be infected and they were taken from their work to the isolated hospital. A big building, known as Bennett's lodg- ing-house, was investigated by the health officers and it was found that several of the inmates were affected with the dis- ease. The house was placed under quar- antine at once, but as soon as this was known the inmates began to escape. Sev- eral living in the upper stories tried to come down by the fire escapes and back ways, and it was finally necessary to put an armed guard of police on duty around the place to keep the lodgers from leaving the house and mingling with the people of the city. They were all finally placed in isolation. A physician of the town was being shaved in one of the prominent barber shops, and happening to look closely at the barber who was shaving him, he saw the barber was breaking out with the disease. The case was re- ported and the barber was sent to the hospital. Last Wednesday a man walking on the streets was spotted by one of the health officers. He evidently had the smallpox, but the health officer sald noth- ing about it. arrest, and while he waited for the police to take him into custody five hundred peo- ple gathered around and wondered what was the matter with the man in trouble. On the same day an infected elevator boy in one of the large buildings was taken from his elevator and sent to the hos- pital tent. There was another man who was met by his family physiclan on the street. The physician told him he had the grip and advised him to go home, a sugges- tlon he proceeded to act upon until he met some friends. Under the idea that whisky was an antidote for the grip he proceeded to imbibe in varioussaloons and with pumerous friends. In the mean- while his physician had gone to his home to tell him quietly that it was not grip, but smallpox that was ailing him. When the doctor found that his patient,Instead of proceeding directly home, had under- taken to prescribe for the grip himself, he sent friends out to hunt him up and one of these informed the patient what was the matter with him. The patient hunted up the nearest policeman and tried to give himself up, but when the policeman found what was the matter with him he told his prisoner to look out for himself. The supposition that the disease was brought in by the regiment returning from the Philippines is not given very much credence, for before the troops left San Francisco they were held in camp for three weeks or more awalting the muster out. Smallpox is supposed to develop within two weeks or not at all, so the three weeks' detention of the regiment in the Presidio at San Francisco after It had come off the transport is belleved to have been sufficlent to develop any latent germs of disease had they existed. The lack of preparation for such an emergency has caused comment to direct itself toward the health authorities of the city. There is no pesthouse and there never has been one. When the first cases broke out there was no place to put them and then it was that the Mayor ordered the erection of a tent for their accommo- dation. Following this the lodge of Elks of Butte subscribed money to care for their own members who might be afflicted and it was not long before the fund was more than occupied. The row among the doctors as to what the disease was lasted Just long enough to give It a good start and now Butte is devoting what energles it has to suppressing the news and con- fining the plague. [ el e o e e e e S ] MASONIC GOLDEN JUBILEE. Arrangements Being Made for a Cele- bration in San Jose. SAN JOSE, Jan. 3.—The semi-centennial of the establishment of Masonry in San Jose will be fittingly celebrated by the Masonic orders on July 11 next. Already preparations are under way. San Jose Lodge No. 10, F. and A. M., was instituted on July 11, 1860, and the golden jubilee of local Masonry will be a grand affair. The festivities will continue several days, con- sisting of appropriate exercises, parades, a grand 1, picnics and excursions. There will be a grand reunion of all the Masonic organizations in the county and many grand officers will be present. The guest of honor will Henry F. Williams of San Franclsco, who was the first Californian to lngly for degrees of Masonry, his petition having been made with California Lodge on ber 7, 1849. Alba M. Kent Sentenced. JAMESTOWN, N.

AVANA, Jan. 3.—Yellow fever statistics: for 1899, while not alarming, show conclusively that the fight against the disease is not yet won. The report for De- cember shows: New cases, 70; deaths, 22; recovered, 30; under treatment, 2. There are now seventeen cases in the hospital. Of the patients twelve were Americans and fifty Spaniards. Six of the former and ten of the latter died. Experts hold that the difference in the ratio of deaths was due to the use of alcohol. Comparisons of the whole year with the ten preceding years is favor- able, but the last three months of 1899 were unfavorable. Since BSeptember 1 there have been eighty-three deaths. During the corresponding period in 1898 the total was ninety-elght. A damaging feature of the situation 1 that after a year of American occupation and all the work and money experded, it is worse than during the flnal month of the Spanish regime with its attendant reconcentrados and troops. The weather bas been' favorable. There was a dry summer and it is now cool. The explana- tion offered is the great influx of Spanish immigrants, who were .not acclimated, and who are huddled in the lower quarters of the city. They were badly nourished and were unable to resist the disease. One prominent fact is the failure of house disinfection to kill the germs of disease. Every house in the city has been disinfected several times. It is not to be considered that there is any alarm here. There is no epidemic. The situation is identical with the fore- cast of many physicians and others, who admit & lack of knowledge of conditions controlling the disease. [ R O R et S SN ) DEPOSITORS SCORE A POINT.
