" WASHINGTON, Sept. r.
The Navy Department has received a report
from Capt. Armstrong, commanding the PEN
sacola Navy Yard, dated 9th inst, in which he
fears, on account of the prevalence of yellow
fever that a partial suspension of work at the
Navy Yard will add to the distress already ex-
listing in the villages outside the Yard The
Mayor of Pensacola has appealed to the neigh
boring cities for aid. Mobile sent $1,000. A
hospital has been established with the funds
received. From the 8th to the 28th of August
there were 223 cases of fever and twenty-eight
deaths. Since then no record has been kept.
Citizens in the Yard reserve are raising sub
scriptions to employ physicians and nurses and
to obtain medicines and food for the destitute.
AS citizens of Pensacola they can obtain no
aid from the Freedmen's Bureau, although
many poor whites and freedmen are residing
on the reserve there. There have been twenty
one deaths outside and fifteen in the Yard =
There are no physicians outside of the Yard to
attend the sick, though it is hoped they will
soon be obtained. t'7i. -iIJl0
