NEW York, July IA report was preVa
lent yesterday that yellow fever had broken out
among the seamen on the Uaited States men
of war Colorado and Vermont and the employees
of the navy yard. Investigation BY the Board
of Health showed that there had been at the
naval hospital six cases of disease pronounced
to be yellow fever, three Of which has proved
fatal. Commodore Nicholson denies that the
disease is yellow fever aud the that the patients
we're treated for bilious fever. Three patients are
now in the hospital. Michael Flynn and G. +.
Oluey, sailors and Michael Carroll landsman.
The primary symptoms 10 every case are those
of remittent bilious fever. but some of the
physicians fear symptoms of the dreaded mala,
dy. Yellow fever may be developed at any
moment. Meanwhile every precaution has
been taken to prevent the spread Of the malady.
