the following telegram received BY him
from Mayor LanSdon, OF Detroit:
SIS there any truth in the published
statement that they need no moro funds,
and that you have ordered an investigation
in regard to the yellow fever funds in the
hands OF the Howard Association OF New
Orleans? Can you give me the cities
where funds are needed?"
To this the Secretary replied Is follows:
am advised that the Howard Association
have on hand an unexpended balance,
probably sufficient for their wants at New
orleans and Memphis. I think the Asso-
ciation perfectly reliable, and have ordered
no investigation. At oil Of the afflicted
points, save New Orleans and Memphis,
the suffering aud want are great, and /
think increasing and even in those cities
more help may be required in the near fu-
ture. You can scarcely go amiss in send.
