Reports this morning from al rellet
associations show a large increase in the
number Of new cases, but not so large a
proportion Of deaths as for the "a hours
ending at noon yesterday. Some ply
siciaus report many persons taken sick
as convalescent The sickness is still
mainly confEed to the district north
of Jefferson street, only a few scattering
cases being reported in other portions Of
the city, aud Of these q majority have
been removed to the city hospital, to pre-
vent If possible the spread of the disease
in those localities. The citizens relief
committee report that they "
almost hourly in receipt of tele.
grams from different sections Of
the country authorizing than to draw for
money. The work Of issuing provisions
to the indigOent poor is being actively
prosecuted and no case Of restitution
not relieved has jet been beard Of,
thanks to the liberality Of our own citi-
zens abroad and Of charitable stran-
gers. The poor are being supplied
with food and the sick cared for.
