DOOMED GRENADA.

| GRENADA, Aug. 25.-We are whitfield
down to point where suffering and death are
IN every house and no one to wait upon the
SICK. Fifty noble nurses are worn out, but un-
tagging in their duties and devotion. There
are a few families that have been entirely
swept away. We could cite many households
| that have not nurse or servant about the place
heavy demand was made yesterday upon Col.
| Anderson for nurses, but he was utterly pow
erless to render the desired assistance. New
Orleans and Memphis can furnish no further
| assistance in this respect and we are at the
mercy of the plague. The native well ones left
can be counted upon the fingers. The deaths
yesterday number ten and new cases four. If
| no assistance cores and the fever is not checked
no one will be left to bury the dead. We have
had a cold night, which swells the death list
again. We are certainly q doomed remnant.
More nurses would be like angels from heaven
| and our only salvation.
NEW ORLEANS.
New ORLEANS, Aug. 25.-With 1917 new cases
of yellow fever within the past twenty-four
hours the sick list, which from the inception of
the disease reaches 3, 421 and 587 deaths, an
early abatement of the epidemic is not antici-
pated, while a superficial view would indicate
no such condition. The distress existing in
New Orleans is very great. half dozen mem
bers of the Howard association, who have Just
returned from a round of visits to the sick,
state that the wretchedness in which they found
hundreds of miserable poor, cannot be exag-
gerated, particularly among those families
IL.
wife is necessary for their maintenance. The
prostration Of either is quickly followed by
starvation. So treacherous is yellow fever that
its attack, if not followed by immediate
remedies, must result in sure death. Among
the very Door the presence of the disease dissi-
pates every vestige of revenue. Those who could
work are compelled to remain at home to nurse
the SICK and in consequence in their visits to-
day the Towards found 100 families suffering
for bread.
