The marine hospital service, in its health report, publishes an interesting report from Surgeon J. O. Cobb, on an investigation made by him into the spotted fever of the Rocky mountains, a new disease in the Bitter Root valley of Montana and several other places. Dr. Cobb attributes this disease to the bite of ticks that infest the locality. These carry a parasite which conveys the germ of the fever. It was found tbafthe gopher of this section is infested with ticks, and it is well known that this animal will not cross water except under extraordiThis being true, nary circumstances. it would give the Decessary explanation why the disease was confined to such a small locality. The gopher of this particular section has in some way become infected with fever organism and has acquired or inherited immunity. An organism has been found in the blood of some of the gophers from that locality, while the organism has not been observed in the blood of those animals obtained elsewhere, or even from those just across a small river. intra-corpus-cu- lar Colored Fiend Meet!

Tassel Carrying Ammunition and Large garni of Money Cnptnred After n Short nod Unequal Fight Details of the capture of the Colombian government gunboat Boyaca by the insurgent outside of Panama, have been received. The Boyaca was captured August 1, by the insurgent gunboat Padilla, after a short and unequal fight. She had on board at the time nearly 300 soldiers under the command of Generals Ferrero and Eano, who were to reinforce General Morales Bertl at Agua Dulce. The Boyaca also carried several cannons, a supply of ammunition and a large sum of money. Flying the insurgent flag, the Boyaca is now guarding the entrance to Panama harbor. Nothing definite is known on the isthmus of the situation of the government general, Morales Berti, at Agna Dulce, but many believe that the general, after withstanding a siege of several days, during which his forces were subjected, chiefly at night, to a severe artillery fire from the insurgents, proved the hopelessness of receiving reinforcements and supplies from Panama and was forced to surrender to the insurgents.

Many persons question the ability of the insurgents to hold Colon if they attack and capture that port, owing to the fact that they possess no gunboats on the Atlantic side of the isthmus.

The hesitancy to deal summarily with the natives is causing both Boers and Afrikanders intense irritation, and encourages the blacks to truculent effrontery. Another phase of the problem is the unwillingness of the blacks to fore go their lazy existence in the concentration camps, where thousands wera gathered during the war, and far more serious is the fact that a great number of blacks in the couotry have managed to secure arms. There is, therefore, the anomalous situation of unarmed whites and armed blacks living in Exproximity on outlying farms. perienced British colonists strongly favor universal disarmament of the natives and prompt legislation, making assaults on women a capital offense. The reverbatory building of the Butte Reduction works, owned by Senator W. A. Clark, was totally destroyed by fire Friday afternoon. The fire originated at furnace No. 1, and waa caused by the roof of the furnace caving ia. The flames communicated to the roof of the building and spread in an incredible space of time. The loss will amount to $30,000, on which there is an insurance of $15,000. The loss of the reverbatory will necessitate the closing down of the smelter and of three mines, which supplied it with ore. About 1,000 men will be thrown out of employment for about two months.
