q. McCabe, commissary, reports to the citizens
relief committee that $4,000 ratons have been
issued to destitute people from Aug. 10 to Aug.
30 inclusive. The demand is constantly in
creasirg, IA, 800 rations being issued to-day.
The supply on hand is sufficient to last not
longer than the 5th prox. In view of this state
OF things the following appeal is issued:
The unprecedented spread and fatality of
yellow fever, causing entire suspension of
business, has left 10000 people in this city who
are destitute of the means of subsistence and
unable to procure work, and large portion of
these are now sick, and the number is constant
ly increasing. Much as the committee dislikes
to ask aid again from the charitable abroad,
who have so generously responded to former
calls, necessity and humanity compes them to
request further prompt assistance.
