THIS MORNING AT MEMPHIS.
National Associated Press to the Star.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 50 A. M.-The
weather this morning is slightly cooler and
damp. The heavy list of new cases yester
day increases the gloom and strengthens
the conviction that the disease will find
material till frost, unless the city can be
more completely depopulated. Some ply
| sicians assert that two of the Howard
doctors are incompetent, aud not recog
nized by the Medical Board of the County,
and that these incompetents pronounce
every case they come near yellow fever.
This has raised quite breeze in medical
circles, and other physicians refuse to act
with these two men. The two extra ply
sicians put on yesterday say they are only
attending patients for humanity's sake,
and do not recognize the other two physi-
clans as members OF the profession.
Three more new cases and two more
deaths were reported after our last dispatch
yesterday, the official report closing with
twenty new cases and five deaths.

vised that arrangements be made with the
New York quarantine authorities to care

low fever are reported from quarantine for

charged.
The brig John Welsh, Jr. reported by
telegraph as having left Havana with a
cargo of molasses bound either for Phila-
delphia or New York, and said to be foully
infected with yellow fever, is not reported
