DANISH WEST INDIES. 
Quarantine 
against 
Santos 
, Tampico 
, and Vera 
Gruz. 
Copenhagen, October 
20 , 1898. 
Sir : I have to inform you that on the 27th ultimo the Government 
of the Danish West Indies replaced the quarantine declared against 
ships arriving from Santos, Brazil, June 9 last by sanitary inspec- 
tion; also that on the 24th ultimo the same go verament ordered a quar- 
antine of five days against ships arriving from Vera Cruz and Tam- 
pico, Mexico, on account of an epidemic of yellow fever at these ports. 
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant, 
Hon. Secretary of State. 
Laurits S. Swenson.

Yellow fever at Monterey 
. 
Monterey, October 25 , 1898. 
Sir : I have the honor to acquaint the Department that I have just 
sent the following telegram touching yellow fever : " Assistant Secre- 
tary of State, Washin^on, D. C. Yellow. Pollard." 
In this connection I beg to say that all doubt of the presence of yel- 
low fever has disappeared, physicians and the community generally 
concurring in this. It is not thought there will be an epidemic, although 
the cases thus far, it is understood, number from 40 to 50. The daily 
death rate from all diseases is very heavy. The authorities have done 
their best to keep this a secret, and if it had not been for the courage 
and independence of one physician the people would have been kept in 
the dark as to the disease. Monterey has been quarantined for some 
days by the Texan authorities. 
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant, 
John K. Pollard, 
Consul- 
General. 
Hon. Assistant Secretary of State.
