WAsu1NGroN, D. C., July 12.-The yellow
fever news has had the effect to cause the Balti-
more health authorities to take special precau-
tions. 4 representative of the Board Of Health,
speaking OF the sanitary regulations there, says:
1t Is not thought Hisc to 20 at once to the ex-
treme Of cutting off all water communication
With Southern ports, which would be very inju-
rious in commercial point OF view, but the
most stringent quarantine regulations are and
will be enforced. Every vessel coming to
Baltimore from ports south of. Cape
Henry, and from Southern. ports, is stop
ped at quarantine and thoroughly exam
ined. All vessels which come from
ports where contagious diseases are known to
exist, even though they may have no sickness
on board, are kept at quarantine for twenty
four hours, are thoroughly fumlgated and dis
infected, and vessels having sickness on board
are detained until all dagger Of contagfon Is
over. A careful watch is also Kept OF arrivals
by rail from Southern cities, and, while refugees
from Memphis might not be prevented from
coming to Baltimore, Jet their presence would
be quickly known, and IN Investigation made
by the health authorities TO satisfy them that
there Is no danger from infection. The internal
sanitary measures dow in iorco are such as TO
give general assurance that there is scarcely
any possibility OF the gernination Of any fatal
contagious disease, even in the most unhealthy
districts.

IT'S ORIGIN.

Bpectal Dtspzteh to The Ir1bfs71a- =
MEMPHIS, July 12.-The yellow-feyer sensa-
ton has collapsed, all the industry Of the Board
of Health and physicians Of the city failing to
discover single nen case or any other old case
bearing any symptoms Of the disease. In fact
the doctors are NON Urangllng over the four
cases reported up to yesterday. Dr.. Saunders,
former President Of the Board Of Healtn and
one Of the physicians OF the city who is re-
garded as authority, declares that after rigid
Investigation he has discovered but one case
that he is willing to risk his reputation on
IN declaring genuine case Of yellow
fever and that one was Mulbrandon, who died
Wednesday. He took particular pains to trace
the cause OF this case, which he relates as fol-
lows:
Mulbrandon's wife lost several relatives in
1878 Of the fever, whose household effects
came BY inheritance or otherwise into her
possession. The articles not used in house
keeping for her own family were last winter
PACKED AWAY IN Bo1Es
OF otherwise, without regard to disinfect1on.
Since the hot season set in these articles hare
been 1epacked and exposed to thu atmos-
that that dark spots were Noticed On
some Of the bedding, which DR.. Saunders SAYS
MAS the STAINS OF negro FOLQlt, CONTACT WILL
which no doubt caused poor Me16randon's
death and the subsequent hullabaloo about the
spontaneous outbreak, of yellow fever, which
has resulted SO hurtfully to the commercial in
terests Of Memphis.
Other leading physicians agreed with Dr..
Saunders as to the character OF the case. ana
say that other sporadic cases will no doubt ap-
pear during the season, but they are uoT almost
satisfied that
NO EPIDEMIC 1s PROBABLE.
The prevailing unusual hot temperature since
Mulbrandon was taken has not caused the dis
ease to spread, and they have no fears that IT
will do So
Many citizens who had prepared to leave with
their families we're to-day Offering their tickets for
sale, having concluded to await further develop
ments Every little burg within 4 hundred
miles of the radius of Memphis has established
quarantine against us, and until it Is eatisfacto-
rIly developed that the fever will not become

The appearance Of yellow dog on suburban
streets will empty the housesc Even the golden
sunset Of this evening blanched the faces Of
those who have been, SO to speak, sitting on
their trunks all Gay awaiting the departures Of
the steamers or trains. Confidence is thor
ourhly restored among the cool heads, the only
matter Of serious consideration being the i'm
