Precautionary Measures at st Louis.
ST. LOUIS, August lin view of the fact
that there is no abatement of yellow fever at
New Orleans, the health officers of this city
have decided to put the quarantine hospital,
situated on the river, fourteen miles below, in
condition for occupation, and keep a certain
degree Of surveillance upon steamers and
trains arriving from infected ports below.
No regular quarantine will be established,
but DIR. Davis, who has been placed in charge
of the quarantine hospital, will board all
steamers from the south, and If any passen-
ger or member of the crew is found sick with
an Infectious or contagious disease he will be
taken ashore and treated ut the hospital.
The same action will be taken in regard to
north bound trains on the st. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern railroad, which passes
the quarantine station, and DR.. Roberts, as
sistant physician at quarantine, will board all
up-bound trains at points below, and if he
finds any one affected as above stated, he will
order him left at the hospital. This arrange
ment has been made with the full consent of
the railroad and river transportation compa-
MES, and orders have been given steamers
and trains to stop at quarantine without any
formal summons. This surveillance is to
continue until very warm weather ceases, or
the fever is fully abated In the south, as may
seem proper by the authorities. There is no
apprehension that yellow-fever viii come
here, or that should it be brought here that it
can spread, and these measures are taken
solely to allay any fears that may possibly
arise should the disease become more general
in the low country.
