Seven Ieathe Have Already Oecnred la a Total of Thlrtr-Seven Cer Erery Effort Being Taken to Control tha Pread OIimh-A Strict Quarantine lla Keen Katabllahed. WASHINGTON, Aug. l.-The last official advices received show a total of 37 cases and seven deaths from yellow fever at the Soldiers' home at Hamp ton, Va. Thus far the disease has been confined to the home, but all surround ing towns are excited and a vigorous quarantine is being maintained. Dr. Wasdln, of the Marine hospital ser vice, is In charge of affairs at Hamp ton and has strengthened the cordon about the town of Phoebus, which he reports is in very bad sanitary condi tion. The, fact that only one new case appeared during the past 24 hours Is encouraging to the officials here, who are taking every measure to pre vent a spread of the disease. Dr. Wasdln's official report of his examination of existing conditions at the Soldiers' home sums up the history of the contagion as follows: Early in July an old soldier entered the home for a short rest and soon af terward appeared at the dispensary where he Informed the physicians In charge that he was but recently from Santiago, via a transport to a northern port; thence he strated for Manila via San Francisco; beat hlB way to the home on a freight train and entered with his baggage. He complained of dumb chills and fever and was pre scribed for. He mingled freely with the inmates of the home and a short time ago disappeared. From this as a possible cause, the outbreak Is as follows: Preceding Fri day, the 21st, there had been noticed nothing of a suspicious nature. The weekly death rate was as usual. Hut on the 21st and 22d there became ill during the night , with sharp or less chill, high fever, some eight or ten in mates, men of usually good health. These scitures although noted as pecu liar had occasioned no alarm until about Thursday, the 27th, when a death occurred, the man becoming dis tinctly yellow some time prior to death. On about the same day another one died without having attracted particu lar attention: he also turned quite yel low. Autopsies were held on both by a resident pathologist. It was then or a little later that the telegram was sent you asking for an expert. It found there were 3,500 im mates and that 35 has been taken ill since the 21st. Dr. Wasdln says he withheld a posi tive diagnosis in his first communica tion because of the assertions of Sur geon Vlckcry at the home that there had been no communication of the In mates with the Cuban soldiers returned since last May or early In June. With the discovery of .the probable origin of the Infection and the two autopsies later there can be no doubt he says about the disease being yellow fever. Dr. Wasdln, Assistant Surgeon Von Ezedorf from New Orleans to Hamp ton, Passed Assistant Surgeon Smith, who is on leave has been directed to re turn to Norfolk. Surgeon Magruder has been ordered from Memphis. Both of these have had large experlnce in quarantined quarters. Surgeon Pettus, in charge of the Cape Charles quaran tine, has been ordered to assign his assistants. Surgeon McCllntlc to tem porary charge and to remain on duty himself at Old Point. Trying to Kin nip Out Yellow Fever, WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. Surgeon General Wyman of the Marine hospi tal service had a conference with Sec retary Gage on the yellow fever sit uation at Hampton, Va. The secretary agreed with Dr. Wyman that every possible precaution should be taken to prevent the spread of the disease. A cordon will be thrown around the af fected district, and a thorough quaran tine established. MARRIED SIX WOMEN. Martin lol Arrrated In Chicago For 111 Matrimonial Venture. CHICAGO. Aug. 1.
