KEY WEST, August l3, via PUNTA Rosa and
LAKE CITY, August l5.-The Narva, while Crap
pling for the cable on the 8th and 9th instant
encountered so severe gales that she could do
nothing. On the 10th and llth the Gulf was
quite rough, and no grappings were made. The
barometer indicated an early change, and the
pilot, who was familiar with the weather at
this season, predicted q hurricane The Narva
accordingly ran into port here on Sunday, and
will go out to- morrow If the weather is fair.
The President endeavored TO induce Mr.
Webb, in the meantime, to lay the land shore
cable connecting this point with Punta Rosa
as the equinoctial does not materially affect the
sea inside the reefs; but Mr. Webb declined
doing SO. Were this done the telegraph COM
pany would send on fast despatch-boats to con-
meet Key West with Havana until the sea cable
is found, as a severe hurricane may carry away
the buoys and the cable may never be found.
A Havana letter of yesterday says the failure

THE YELLOW FEVER.
Important Cure Discovered in the West
Indles by an Eng gllsh PhYsLclan.

Considerable attention is paid by the press of
the West Indies to cure recently adopted by a
physician In Jamaica, DIR. Alexander Fiddes, +.
X. Q. =. E. 1t has run the rounds of the Spanish
English, French, and Danish journals, and
miums. Several of the Governments Interested
In the West Indies have set apart hospital
buildings for the special treatment of yellow
fever under DR.. Flddes process AS that dread
disease is making considerable ravages in the
southern part OF the United States, we give the
following account OF tile treatment:-
Calomel, quinine, and all other medicines are
set aside, as being not only useless, but posi-
lively Injurious; the only medicine recon-
mended is a full dose of castor oil at the begin
ming of the disease. The remedy of DIR. Fiddes
then consists in the internal administration of
sulphurous acid, combined with the external
application of iced sheets around the body when
the skin is hot and dry, or with an occasional
very hot. The sulphurous acid is not given in
JUS pure form, but combined with an alkaline
base, such as the bi.sulphaLe of soda, the sui
phite OF magnesia or potash. or of ammonia of
which me former preparation is probably the
best being tasteless and not likely to offend the
stomach. The dose is twenty grains every two
