LAREDO, Texas, Sept. 21.—Yellow fever seems to be on the increase in this city despite the rigorous efforts that are be- ing taken to stamp it out. Two deaths and twelve new cases were reported at the close of the day. Dr. Guiteras, in his house-to-house can- vass to-day, saw many cases of fever and at the conclusion of his day's examina- tion made the announcement that twelve of the cases were genuine yellow fever. Laredo presents a dead appearance, all of those who could get away having de- parted for points north of the State of Texas and for points south. It !s estimat- ed that nearly 4000 residents have fled from here since the scare began. Quarantines against Laredo have been established {n all directions and no person can get beyond the limits of Webb Coun- ty. Other Texas counties have estab- lished a shotgun quarantine and are turn- ing back all persons who are endeavoring to get away In coaches, buggies and carts. The querantine applies to all persons, | freight, baggage, express, mail or other o agreement has | matter originating in the city of Laredo or points south, the only persons having authority to leave the corporation limits being the health officers of the State of | Texas and of the United States. i Gonzales and Generals Ospina | The work of placing the city in a thor- oughly sanltary condition is being carried on upder the supervision of Dr. Guiteras and 4 corps of expert assistants. The situation jn Nuevo Laredo is un- changed. Dr. Marlano Trevino, a Mexi- can Government yellow fever expert, who is in charge there, believes that within eight days he will have stamped out the fever. The Mexican custom-house authorities been temporarily removed to Lam- where all incoming baggage and ha pasa | freight over the National Rallway is ex- amined, thus permitting trains to run through to Laredo, Texas, without stop- ping at Nuevo Laredo. ONTEREY, Mexico, Sept. 27.—Dr. Al- vin G. Alderman, a well-known Ameri- can, founder of the Christan Institute, died at his home from what is said to be llow fever. The authorities are taking every precaution to prevent the spread of the disease. The schools have been closed. The medical men express the be- llef that the disease will not spread. TAMPICO, Mexico, Sept. 21.—Five new cases of yellow fever have appeared here. The fever is of a mild form. SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1903. DISCOVER OPIUM MAIMED MEN AT SAN QUENTIN| Prison Authorities Find Five Pounds of the Drug. The Warden Suspects Sev- eral Convicts Now in the Dungeons. P Spectal Dispateh to The Call BAN RAFABL, Sept. 27—For the first time In several years opium has been smuggled into San Quentin Prison. Very small quantities have been discovered from time to time in the outside office in packages sent to the various inmates, but because of the vigilance of Captain Rus- sell it had never reached the prisoners, Five pounds of the drug was found in the prison barber ghop yesterday. The matter has been kept extremely quiet, so that the source of supply might be lo- cated. Many of the convicts have been vigorously ‘“sweated” in the hope that they might throw some light upon the question.’ This afternoon suspicion nar- rowed down to five convicts. These wers unable to account for certain actions during the past few days. Pointed inter- rogations failed to bring forth tengible information and to-night all five are in the dungeons. They have also been put in straitjackets, and confesslons are expected. ‘Warden Tompkins said *to-night that five pounds of the oplum had been found in the barber shop. He did not care to glve the names of those under suspicion, but asserted he believed he had the guilty parties. “What we especially wish to ascertain is how it reached inat part of the prison,” said the Warden. *I think we can get at the bottom of it before we finish the in- quiry. It has narrowed down now to five convicts and I think they will eventually confess where it came from. I intend to keep this prison free from ‘dope’ if it costs me a leg. Of course it is impossi- ble to thoroughly eradicate it from the prison, but I will most certainly minimize the traffic to a great extent. I will not tell the names of those supposed to be implicated at the present time, and did not care for the information to leak out at all until after I had finished my in- vestigation.” ————————— UNRELIEVED DEPRESSION MARKS LONDON MARKET Heavy Fall in Prices Is Noted in the Leading Investment Stocks. LONDON, Bept. 27.—The uneasiness concerning the money market both in London and New York, resulted in com- plete stagnation last wWeek on the stock | market, which passed through a week of unrelieved depression. Renewed realiza- tions, especlally of investment stocks, produced a heavy fall in prices except in the forelgn department, which received strong support from Parls, where the be- lief prevailed that the talked-of war in the Balkans would be avolded. The pro- longation of the British cabinet crisis and the political difficuities in Hungary did not tend to improve the situation. Americans and Canadians shared fully in the general depression, being dominated by the situation on Wall street and the position in the United States Steel shares, and they showed declines on the week ranging from $2 to $5. CAY FAOM BUANING IR Freight Train Causes a Disaster in Truckee Yard. —— Brakeman Killed and Other Railroad Employes Are Hurt. TS ; Fire Department Is Called to Extin- guish Flames After Accident Resulting From Mistake in Switching. B IG e Epecial Dispatch to The Call. TRUCKER, Sept. 21.—A freight train smashed into the rear of another freight train at 2:30 o'clock this morning, and the life of Albert Allen was crushed out. Three other trainmen were seriously in- jured.” The accident occurred in the yard, within fifty yards of the depot. The first section of freight train 210 stopped on a siding, and the switch engine had gone to move it farther down in the yard. The switch engine was in charge of Engineer Launtz and Fire- man John Regll, who were busily engaged pumping air to move the train when Launtz, looking back, saw a fatal error had been made and the second section of the train was coming down the track they were on. Realizing thelr terrible situation, they jumped through the windows, and hardly had they gained safety on the ground when the crash came that crushed the three cabooses attached to the rear of the first section. The cries and groans of the men In the cabooses were heard after the collision, and to add horror to the situa- tion the splintered cabooses, in which were held the bodies of the dead and in- jured men, took fire. An alarm met with & quick response by the town firemen. Brakemen G. J. Boyd and A. E. Owens were rescued, bruised and lacerated, but lucky to be alive. They were taken to the Emergency Hospital for treatment, while the search in the wreckage was continued. A hand projecting through the debris showed where another man lay, and in a few minutes the lifeless form of Brakeman Allen was drawn from among the broken timbers. His head was crushed almost beyond recognition. Engineer Fiddler, who was on the col- llding engine, saw the danger and jumped | from his engine after signaling the other | train to move. Fireman Fisher stayed on the engine and had his jaw broken. Boyd's injuries are serlous. His left arm was lacerated irom the shoulder to the | hand and his jaw was broken. Owens’ left hand was severely cut, his feet were bad- 1y hurt and his body was shaken up. The injured men were taken by special car to the rallroad hospital at Bacramento. The body of Allen was shipped to-night to Knights Landing, where he had lived. The cause of the wreck seems to be stmply that the switch, which should have brought the incoming train in on the main line, was open and the second train followed in on the first. of Slain Leaders.
