Of the city on the Paducah railroad

Miller and Henrietta Taylor.
MEMPHIS, July 24.-Four additional
cases were reported to the Board OF
Health this afternoon, also one death
Willie Taylor, at the corner of Herman
do and South streets. The authorities
are experiencing great trouble in 6nd-
ing means of transportation to the site
which has been selected for the erec-
tion of camps. Superintendent Mon
sardat, of the Paducah Railroad refuses
to furnish cars, fearing indignant citi-
zens will destroy the track. There is
also disposition of the majority Of
colored people against being forced to
leave the city or be removed to camps.
AT meeting held by them last night,
resolutions protesting against such a
scheme We're adopted. Five hundred
left the city to-day, $50 of whom took
passage on the steamer Ouachita Belle
for St. Louis. The Howard Association
have about fifteen nurses on duty.
CINCINNATI, July 24.-Spe,ial des-
patches from the South give the follow
ing information
Three cases of yellow fever are
at Bon Aqua Springs, Tennes-
see, where many Memphis people fled
among others Lieut.. Robert Dowdy,
United States Army, who is now down
with the fever.
Efforts are in progress TO select camp
'or INDECENT people seven or eight miles
rom Memphis. Those going to it will
De fed and provided for. Under no cir
will rations be issued to
people in the city.
Many rough-looking plantation
lands continue to arrive in the city in
search of free rations, and advices from
plantations twenty miles away report
hat the negroes are openly saying
hey will 60 to Memphis to plunder and
enrich themselves. From the present
outlook it is doubtful if there will be
sble-bodied men enough in the city in
wo weeks to protect property against
'illagers. Very few Of those who re
NAMED through last years siege are to
~ seen III Ine CITY now.
Although the total number of fever
ases reported is only ninety, it is
inown that others sick have not been
eported, owing to the mildness of the
'ttack. 1t is generally believed that
Ill liable will suffer before the sum
ner ends, but the indications are that
will be of a less violent type than
my heretofore experienced. In seve-
al families, where all have been down,
lone have died.
The steamer Belle Memphis arrived
Iere quietly in the night, unloaded
Ter cargo and started back tor st. Louis,
lot carrying any one away.
New YORK, July PA Memphis
pecial to day says: There is little
-ss despondent feeling here. The pop
lation is much thinned out and the
respects OF getting the poorer class
1to camp eight miles from here are so
ood that the doctors believe the fever
ill sool be exhausted for want of ma
erial. The report that the two steamers
'hich started last night for St. Louis
)aded with passengers have turned
ack on account of yellow fever on
oard proves not to be true. Both
oats are on their way and the passsn-
ers are all in good health.
