stampede OF the citizens is in progress,
trains being unable 10 carry away the
hundreds who are ready to leave.
The Population Panic-Stricken.
MEMPHIS, July lO-At this hour = p.
NJ there has been no change IN the sit
uation. The great desire Of everyone
is 10 leave the city before the fever
spr.ldS. The physicians are dumb
founded. The stampede of the citizens
has almost assumed a panic form. There
will not be cars enough tonight 90 carry
IN, people away. Business Is progress
in rs usual. but in a limited manner.
DIR. Hamuton's Opinion.
WASHINGTON, July lO.-Dr Hamilton,
supervising SurgcOn-general OF the
m mirine hospital service, does not appre-
hend a repetition of the yellow fever
eNpidcmiC OF last wear IN the South. lie
thinks there NAV be 4 few cases, but
considers that the precautions taken will
prevent any spread OF the disease. The
ne .ro exodus may carry considerable
injected baggage into Missouri and
klnsas and thus cause some cases Of
yellow fever i'm those States.
