THE YELLOW FEVER IN SPAIN.

The yellow fever continues to make great havoc
in Barcelona, and the panic is said to be indescrib-
able. A third of the population has emigrated, and
the shops, which were deserted by their customers,
are closed. The.attacks are said to be increasing in
frequency, and the termination is in most cases fatal.
On Friday, the 23rd, thirty-six persons were
attacked, and twenty-five died. The official report
for the 24th gives 23 cases in Barceloneta, seventeen
in the Arrepentidas,. and twelve in Barcelona,
making 52 cases, while the deaths numbered 24. It

consequent') not surprising that great uneasiness
should exist. The Spanish press complains
loudly of the want of vigour and prompt-i
tude on the part of the Government.
The Epoca, who decta,res the population is literally

threatened with an epidemic, says it is a fresh proof of
the state of anarchy now reigning in Spain that there
is no competent authority to act in such a matter.
The Correo del Andalucia, a Malaga paper, thinks
that effectual measures should have been earlier
taken to isolate the epidemic by establishing a sort
of blockade and cutting off all communication from
Barcelona with the rest of Spain, taking care, of course,
that it was well supplied with provisions and other
necessaries. The Health. Juntas have been establishing
lazarettos for the fumigation of all merchandise ar-
riving by railway from suspected quarters. A sanitary
cordon has been established on the frontiers of Catu-
lonia, and rigorous quarantine imposed at Marsella
an.! Lisboa on all persons proceeding thence to Tarifa
and Gibraltar. At Carthagena they have carried
their caution to the point of imposing double qua-
rantine on all vessels coming from Valencia and
Alicante. The railway from Tarragona was for-
bidden to take merchandise proceeding from Barce-
lona, but this order was countermanded. This, says
Las Provincial, a local journal, has greatly displeased
the people of Valencia (where great alarm has
existed in consequence of some suspicious cases), but
it is another consequence of the lack of general and
well-organised measures for securing the public
health.
