elm the Washington dispatches OF to-day we
hnd n card from Representatives Gibson aud
Elliot, rendered TO explain the working Of the
three leading beneficiary organizations for the
relief Of the destitute sick from yellow fever
the Howard Association, the Peabody sub
sistence Association and the Young Mems
Christian Association-in which our Associa-
ton is said 10 be engaged In looking up cases
OF sickness and destitution and reporting them
to the Towards and Peabodys for relief. The
facts are these: On the Goth Of August our As
sociation resolved itself into a committee OF
relief TO administer to the sick and destitute
from yellow fever. ON the I'D we opened,
and from that time have taken charge OF and
cared for entirely, over eight hundred cases Of
yellow fever, furnishing ply slcians, who have,
without REGARD TO race, color or nationality,
generously volunteered, and nurses, medi-
cInes, food and money when needed. Our
working force of visitors to the sick is fully
and efficiently organized. i ltl-' sI

operate with Howard and Peabody associa-
tons, but we are an independent and respon.
sibleorganization, for the dispensing Of funds
committed TO our hands, and we have thus far
done our work efficiently, economically and
faithfully, and shall continue TO do IL. Our
resou .ccs are limited, and are not at all In
proportion to tho work imposed on us by the
| sickness and destitution that VIZ are called up
| on to relieve, and which Is daily increasing,
and we ask the fullest recognition throughout
the country, as an effective channel through
which the benevolence Of the charitable can
