. [SPBOIAI TO THK Sl*B.] ' ; OHmSTCfIUJEUm, Jaimary 15. Thd smallpox outbreak is proving much more serious than the public anticipated. Three more cases were announced yesterday (Thursday), making five in all, and there » reason to fear that the list will not stop af the latter number.

In the first place it cannot discover the source of the outbreak, and, secondly, it is being faced by) a daily increasing number of contacts. Every day its inquiries disclose a contact who, ignorant of the fact that he is one, is moving about among a wide circle, and every minute enlarging the scope of the danger. The health officials are keeping a stiff upper lip, and deprecating anything in the nature ot a scare, but I think I ami justified in stating that they are more "rrwms thy to admit. ' . ■
