ment in yellow fever, though Its ravages
are almost exclusively confined to the

to the mouth Of Wolf river, where It first
appeared It Is impossible to obtain re-
liable data In regard to the mortality, but
1t Is evident there Is no decrease in the
death rate. The city authorities to-day
took the first step towards meeting the
cxigcncies Of the occasion. The whole
street force Is being put to work distribut.
ing coal tar and burning II in the Injected
quarter. The white citizens met and re-

,iei TO all who apply. The exodus from
the city continues, the physicians advis-
ing all who can to leave; the trains in all
directions are crowded, whilst reports are
circulated through the country In regard
to tho number dying, but 1t Is safe to say

Der of deaths from all causes has not
reached twenty on any day, and since
the flight OF the terror.stricken persons
there has been less excitement than during
the prevalence Of cholera.
