THE YELLOW FEVER.
WHERE THE DISEASE HAS SPREAD
THE PANEG UNDIMEEEsHED.
A Boat Load of Fever.
IOhlcago Tiross.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 15.-The yellow fever boat
without landing. DR.. Minor, health officer,
left last night on the Sherwin to go down the
river to meet the Porter. She came so slowly
that he met her forty y-eght miles down. He
had previously stationed officers OF the sani~
tary police here, and sent Dr. Carr to Law
renceburg to intercept the boat in case she
passed there before he met her. When he met
the unlucky steamer he hailed her, and was
taken on board. He found her pushing tow
OF empty barges, reaching 100 feet in front,
Capt. Bickerstaff, who had succeeded Capt
Mahon at Louisville, was glad to see the health
officer. He said he had been deceived as to the
condition of the boat. It was horrible. The
crew were so demoraliZrd that he feared to
land lest they should desert. Six Of the num-
Der were down with yellow fever and almost
all were suffering from malariaI fever. Capt.
Bickerstaff had set those who were able to
work to cleaning up the entire vessel. He
also disnfected and fumigated as we'll as he
could, but he had no medicines. DR.. Minor
prescribed for all and found the boat in toler-
ably fair condition. He took aboard Dr. Carr
at Lawrenceburg, and when the boat reached
the city she anchored in the middle OF the
river. Here Dr. Minor LETT and put on board
DIR. Slough, and supply Of medicines, hay
ing taken the authority to make the boat
floating hospital under charge Of Drs. Carr
and Slough. He got the promise Of Capt.
Bickerstaff that he would not land this side
Of Portsmouth, and not there if his supply OF
coal would carry him to Pomeroy. No one
was allowed to come ashore except pilot
who lived in COvington, and who did not have
the fever.
