DISEASE BAFFLES- EXPERTS Victim Dies Soon After Being At tackedResembles Bubonic New Tork, Sept., 1. Menaced by a dlseaee which haa baffled the best med ical skill of the island the health de partment, officials of Culxi have ap penlfd to' the authorities of Columbia University and Jefferson Medical Col lege ot Philadelphia for old In deter mining the nature of the disease. The most eminent pathologists and bacteriologists of these Institutions are working, says the World, 'n con Junctloim with the medical authorities of the murine hospital and public health department of the 1'nlted States government In an effort to determine the nature of the disease. All detail of the Investigation are refused. The disease In many of Its symptoms resembles bubonic plague, but it is said to bo more swift in Its progress and more deadly in Its effect. It first appeared some months ago In the Isolated town of Dnlrqurl. Prov ince of Santiago. Men employed In the lion mines In that locality were affect ed. The disease did not yield to treat ment and the mortality was greater than In yellow fever or any kindred disease. The Inhabitants became panic strick en and an American steel company with large interests there took .ip the matter. References to the New York and Philadelphia experts followed. The description of the disease furnished by the Cuban physicians shows that it presents the worst symptoms of yellow fever, black fever and spotted fever, The patient Is usually dead a few hours after first complaining of Illness and turns a bright yellow after death. It la In the death that the dlsense presents Its most horrible phase. The victims pulse rate rushes to m, a nean beat which Is deemed almost impossible by physicians of experience. The res piration counts 58. These organic qb- turbances, together with a temperature of 107 and 108. do not cause Instant death but the high fever .generated soon burns out life. The disease always attacks persons who have suffered from Intermittent malarial fever. LAUNCHING OF REVOLUTION Wait Observance of Accession of Sultan to Open Hostilities Sofia, September 1.
