Reports OF Fever in Beaufort.
The Savannah Republican says:
We were informed By gentleman yester-
day that he had seen letter, from reliable
source, which stated that the yellow fever mad
reached Beaufort, s. c., having been brought
there from the phosphate works, where seven
or eight cases had prevailed. The cases IN
Beaufort proved fatal. 1t would be well for
the city authorities to look to the quarantine

rive In the city from that place almost daily,
and to place such restrictions upon their land
ing as In their wisdom they may deem neces-
safy for the safety of our city.
Gentlemen who left Beaufort as late as Sat
urday last say that they heard nothing there to
confirm this report; but, on the other hand
we know that one of our large wholesale drug
gists yesterday received large and pressing
order for dlsinfectauts from Beaufort, which
looks flshy, to say the least.
