CINcINNATI, Sept. 26.-Refugees from Lou
isviile arriving here by every train and on
all roads give alarming accounts of the sud-
den outbreak of yellow fever in that city.
Two hundred and fifty cases are reported in
the nelghborhood of the Louisville and
Nashville depot, and some streets in that Vi
cinity are reported as almost entirely de-
serted by the fleeing populace. Everv We
hicle obtainable is reported as being used to
remove the terror-stricken people, and hack
men are accused of charging exorbitant rates
when called into the service of the fright
ened inhabitants The locality OF the out
break Is said TO have been largely populated
by refugees from fever districts further south,
but the disease is not confined to them alone.
One lady says she was told to leave by her
physician, and she started at once.
LOUISVILLE, Sept 20 Reports which may
be published tomorrow to the effect that
original yellow fever exists in Louisville are
untrue. There is no desire to conceal the
truth, and the outside world can rest assured
. that the moment original fever does exist
these dispatches will announce the fact
Louisville has opened her gates to the
suffering south, and bid her refugees
welcome. The fever is not feared. There
is none and by reason of geographical posi-
ton and climatic influences ii is confident
" believed that the disease can not prevail
here. There has been disposition upon
the part of other cities to have the fever here
whether or ne, and reports that people are
leaving Louisville in large numbers are
sensational. The report as TO yellow fever
in Louisville telegraphed from Cincinnati
tonight is absurd i'm the extreme. 1t is en-
tirely uncalled for and utterly without
foundation.
