NEW YORK, July pa Memphis special OF
last night says: ga visit to different relief Or
cases beyond those reported, and those In charge
are doing moderately well. The Howards are
receiving letters and dispatches from northern
IS Wen to state to all applicants that no nurses
are wanted as yet and none will be enlisted to
do service unless they are acclimated and have
had experience in the treatment of yellow
fever. Inquiries among the physicians con-
cerning the progress OF the fever reveal no
thing new. Some OF them insist that we have
some types OF malartal and others that we have
genuine yellow fever, but all agree that we will
not begin to have as bad year as that OF 1913
or 1878.
Two Cases i'm Alabama.
A dispatch from Atlanta, Ga. says: There Is
to-day, owing to the appearance Of yellow
fever In Opelfka, Ala. 1t Is discovered that the
two cases there were imported; that there is no
sign OF any other cases. Opelika has never had
native case, and Is Ia fine condition.

Tenn, to which point many Memphis people

In Search Of Free RatfOns.
Numerous rough-looking plantation hands
continue to arrive in the city in search of free
miles away report that the negroes are openly
saying they will go to Memphis to plunder and
enrich themselves. From the present outlook
1t Is doubtful II there Will be able bodied men
enough In the City In two weeks to protect
property against pillagerS. Very few Of those
who remained through last years siege are to
be seen In the city now.
A Mild Type Of Fever.
Although the total number of fever cases re-
ported is only 80, 1t is known that others sick
have not been included. owing to the midness
OF the attack. It Is generally believed that ali
liable TO the malady viii suffer before the sum-
OF a less violent type than any heretofore expe-
renced. In several families where all have
been down none have died.
